BRUSIE AND CRoZIER
 SUCCESSFUL RACE DRIVERS
New England Horse Racing Closes After Great Year-Many Records Broken.

Prominent among the features of the New England horse racing season was the great winning streak of Har- ry Brusis. This driver. who in his hind some of the finest trotters and pacers, that ever touched hoof to 8 race track. had perhaps his best sea son this year by reason of his phe- nomenal success with the great oan Hal. The climax of the year, so far a Brusie was concerned at the Kutz- town, Pa, meet, where Roan Hal did the mile in a race on the halfnile track in 2.03 1-4. breaking the worlds record for bull rings.
 Sometimes driving horses no one else could win with Brusle came in first in 32 races. on the Shore Ship time in two years finished the season the heaviest winning driver on those tracks. Koroni was one of the truly great ones that Brusie brought to the front in 1917. this great horse now having the record for the four fastest heats ever trotted on a half mile track The average was 2.10 3-4.
 Close to Bruste in the Short Ship Circuit ahead of him. all races being taken into account, is Will Cromer. son, and brought out his greatest find, a -year-o1d, said by many to be the greatest youngster of the year. The colt in question Is Binworth. 2.11 ! time Binworth broke a bone in his ankle at Goshen. N. Y.,' Crozier had won with him seven f1rsts and two seconds. The youngster Is now on the mend in the stables at Charter Oak Park and Crozier expects he will be back on the track next season stronger than ever. Still another of his finds was Patrick Duluth, with which he won five firsts.
 Another great horse that Crosier drove this season was Judge Ormonde, the most consistent performer against Roan Hall. And still another was Frisco Worthy. a splendid animal that he sold to W. R. Cox, Frisco Worthy is by San Francisco, and looks as though he might develop into a POS trotter.
 Crozier also looks upon the 1917 sea son as one of his best. He received his tuition in the old days from Dave McCleary, the greatest driver of the period. and has lived up to his teach ing, part of which were to s"drive to win. and get the confidence of owners and the public"
 Many records were broken in New England horsedom this year; only re- gently Directum L. 1856 3-4, setting new mark by pacing the mile in POS 34 at Brockton and this, not withstanding the poor condition of many of the eastern tracks.

F.I.eh . woId-ee Wrestler.

Happy sF,elsch, center fielder of the White Sox, once had an annbi- ton to become a world beater in the wrestling game. He had little trouble toppling all the boys on the sand lots of his native city. He dreamed of a mat crown worn by Frank Gotch. It didn't take long in baseball to knock this idea out of flaps heads :. Time and experience convinced him. that the mat game was no place for an athlete of his attachments.
 Happy used to wrestle with three just to give himself good workout. When Hap heard the call of the dia : nond, he was alert to go to the top of the baseball profession, just as he had rome in his amateur wrestling matches

PINCH LETTERS SCARCE
 IN BIG LEAGUES
Only Five Made Homers in Last Sea
 sons Play.

Miguel Angel Gonzales. junior mem Der of the St. Louis Cardinals great catching staff of Snyder and Con gales, did his first pastiming in the Braves. but it was not until this year that he produced a home run. And when he did produce it he was not batting for himself but for someone else.
 The four bagger the Cuban got as a pitcher off Wilbur Cooper of the Pir- ates on April 25 was the first and only four bagger he evers secured. Con zaleS' record in homers. is about as queer as Lee Magee's, for Lees initial four-ba blow, manufactured on April 70, 1913. against Marty O'TooIe of the Pirates was struck when there was three on. The Cards lost this game, to 4.
 Four players besides Gonzales made circuit drives as pinch hitters last season, these men being Jack Adams of the Phillies. Harry Bailey of the Braves, Ward Miller of the Browns and Sam Crawford of the Tigers
 Ham Hyatt of the Pirates in 1913 made as many four-baggers pinch hitter as all the National league sub-sticIiers made this year. He got a drive for the full distance off Chris ty Mathewson on May Is. one off Bert Humphries on July and one off Err skine Mayer on Aug. P.
 The only major 1eaguers in the last II seasons who have blown them selves to homers pinch hitters when the bases all had tenants are BeaIs Becker, former Giant, former Phillie. former Red, former Pirate and former Tiger and former Indian Becker cleaned up against Clifton Garfield Curtis of. the Braves, (then Doves) on Sept. 30. 1910; Kavanaugh against Hubert Leonard of the Red Sox on Sept. 24, 1918.
 An odd feature of the pinch hom-. srs of 1917. in the National is that all these were gathered off Pittsburg slab men. Cooper yielded two, Grimes one. s

REDS AND INDIANS
 IN 1918 PENNANT RAGE.
Two Teams Will Give Hard Eight for Flag in Respective Leagues Next Year.

Flag in Respective League. Next
 Year.
 The 1918 baseball championship is several long looks ahead just now but some features of the baseball layout There are two teams, neither of them really pennant contenders this year, whose doings will be watched for signs of championship caliber. They are the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland In dians. Baseball men agree that both of these teams need only & few inn provements. to be ripe for straight away drive for the pennant.
 Mathewson has great possibilities in that heavy hitting club of his. The Reds were second to the Giants in scoring runs, but had more runs scored on them, than any other team in the recognized weakness-pitching. Two reliable hurlers would give Matty all he needs. Toney- is a star and Schnei- der will do,while Eller has shown some base could be easily improved on, al though he is a valuable batter Chase, Kopf and Groh are ali that could be asked for the rest of the inf1eid Roush. Grif1th and Rcush make an excep- tional outfield.
 Lee Fchrs club also appears to be just on the edge of greatness. Bagby, CovelesRie and K1epfer are almost a pitching staff by themselves and the requirement. of one more competent boxman, or Guy Mortorfs return to form, would fill out the requirement. Chapman Is . star shortstop ana Wambsganss is capable performer at second. but first and third need Speaker, Graney, Roth and Smith, will certainly do. O'Neill and Billings are able to handle the catching assign ment. These clubs may never show ir front, but they are near the first grade now and a little luck with young players or some jIdicious use of money in buying old ones will pull them up to the heights.
