feature Of a good card today was an
nexed by James Buffers wistful, who
beat Priscilla Mullens by three-quar-
tiers Of length. while Dorcas was
third. Wistful dropped out Of the
contest In the early stages and Jockey
Uyke waited until rounding the turn
for home before making his move.
He came to the outside of the leaders
In the stretch and was going away
at the end. Priscilla Mullens faltered
badly after disposing of Dorcas. She
received a perfect ride by Jockey Rice
and met with no mishaps. Dorcas
quit In the last furlong. At the three
quarter pole Wistful was at least a
dozen lengths back of the third horse
and 1t looked like she was hopelessly
beaten.
Sky Pilot was at home in the going
in the fifth race and won by fifteen
lengths from No Manager and Copper
King. Christie went to the post at
even money. but lacked speed in the
going. Copper King was in the deep
going all the way. or would have been
second.
Ella Ryan repeated her good race
Of Monday when she beat Tranby two
lengths in the sixth number. Spectre
WAS third and the favorite-Royal In
terest fourth. The latter showed early
speed but evidently was very short
Sam Slick pulled up lame.
Maxim's Choice won the closing
number by a dozen lengths from Wo-
dan and Lucky R. The latter ran all
over the track and was mlserably
handled. While he never could have
beaten the winner he surely would
have been second.
The track was heavy and holding
after the heavy rain. The attendance
was the largest ever seen on a mid

CHAPMAN LEADER
In BASE STEALING

New York. Oct. 11.-According to the
unofficial averages OF major league
players. Ray Chapman. Of the Cleve-
land Indians. was the best base run
ner in the 1917 campaign. He was
in the lead lead among American
Leaguers for q great part Of the sea-
son, and when threatened by Ty Cobb
in the closing weeks OF the race
Chapman also cut loose with a burst
of speed which kept him ahead OF
Ty. Only five players in the major
leagues stole fifty or more bases dur
ing the season. Chapman led with
Sc, while Cobb had So steals, and Max
Carey finished up with So thefts.
Carey won the honors in the Ma
tional League with plenty to spare.
but in the American League four
players were in the race to the
finish. Bobby Roth finished with 81
thefts. and Eddie Collins with 80.
These are unofficial figures, and 1t is
possible that the official figures may
differ slightly and change the rela-
tive ratings Of the leaders.
