How to Meet Trouble.

Rise above small things, says a
woman writer. The woman who lets
small things worry her will be com
pletely undone the first time she meets
with n really big problem. It is dis

condition, not to mention our phys.
Zeal condition, to worry. You need not
DC resigned to fate nor slip your
troubles or MS the old friend ducks
back throws water. But you can meet
troubles with a Will to conquer them
or adjust thein-and, after that, they
should worry" but not you.

ner in which he is stealing bases in
the National League this season
and IL the season were to run tc
the end he probably would establish
record for thefts. He is running
the bases as he never has run them
before.
Carey has been with the Pirates
for eight years and IL he manages
to beat any mark that has been reg
istered in that time IL will not be
saying a great deal for the present
catchers in the league. 1t is a GER
tainty he is not growing faster
every year. 1t may be attributed
to the scarcity of fast, accurate
throwers in the ranks. yet one hes
itates to blame the backstops when
names like Killifer. wingo, Con-
zales. McCarty. Raridan. Burns. Mil
Ter and Wilson are considered. These
men are all blessed with strong
arms. But they are not stopping
Carey. while the fact that they are
stopping other baserunners indi-
Gates Max makes his showing strict
ly on merit
His thefts may be laid to the lack
of efficient twirlers who can force
him to hug the initial bag closely.
Many of the good pitchers have gone
and as a consequence those who are
still in the league do not watch
him closely enough.
Carey has stolen forty-six IN
eighty-six games. On that basis in
a full season he would establish a
new record. that is. the best that has
been done in the league in nine
years. The high mark was set in
1911 by the speedy Bob Bescher who
was then with the Cincinnati Reds.
He was ~one of the fastest players
in the game. on the bases as well as
in the field. Bescher led the Ma
tional League for three years. start
ing with 1910, in>which year he stole
seventy bases. In 1912 he was cred
tied with sixty-seven.
Carey has been the leading base
stealer In the league every year but
one since Bescher stole sixty seven
in 1912. In 1913 the Pirate outfield-
er got a total of sixty-one. The
following year he dropped to thirty
eight. and that was the only year
he was topped. George Burns. who
has been Carey:s competitor for the
honors for number of years. beat
ing him with q total of sixty-one.
In 1915 Carey stole only thirty-siA
bases and still led. probably be-
cause the twirlers held him close
to- the bag and the catchers threw
with rifie-like speed and accuracy.

between three teams-Operations
Marine Corps and Ordnance. But
four teams are still contending. and
the Capital Publishers seem to be
almost too far behind to catch up,
unless the next two. or three games

ries, each having won one OF the
three games 70 be played between
the two clubs. Ordnance. with three
games lost. has revamped its team.
and expects to appear this week with
q brand-new lineup. apparently
with the hope OF tearing one Of the
leaders down, even IL failing OF the
pennant itself.
As Marines have been played twice.
and Operations only once, and as the
Sailors are in the lead. it Is prob
able that the effort is being made TO
humble the league leaders by q bril-
liant surprise attack. II is under

SPA PROMISES
GREAT SPORT
Race Events at Upper State
Track Has Brought Keen
Competition.

Saratoga. N. T., Aug. Awhile the
quality of the sport witnessed on the
opening days of the Saratoga Assoc
ciatiop's meeting was brilliant. there
is every reason to believe that It was
merely the prelude OF still more
sparkling contests to come. as the
program for the next three weeks
fairly bristles with events which viii
call for the appearance Of the best
horses in training.
The downfall of such popular favor
ties as War Cloud and Cudgel. the
superb form shown by Roamer and
the growing conviction that the Vest
ern-owned 2-year-olds - taking Billy
Kelly as an example-may be up TO
the standard of former years after
all increases to a still greater degree
the element of uncertainty which Is
a part of the sport of kings.
BY his performance in the Saratoga
handicap Roamer increased his al
ready large army of admirers. and 1t
Is doubtful whether Mr.. Miller's won-
derful gelding ever ran better race
than in that event. The fact that
Cudgel was not at his very best was
generally known by those who follow
the fortunes of the turf. his prepara-
ton for the race not having been Of
a character that would tighten him
up for a supreme effort. and when
Commander Ross arrived al, the course
he was told by Trainer Bedwell not
to be disappointed IL Cudgel should
be beaten. He explained to some
friends that a mile in 1:3S 5-5 and a
mile and furlong in 1:53 had been
all the strong work he had been able
to impart. in the ten days prior to
the race.
Those who saw Cudgel1 perform at
Aqueduct when he was at his best
noted the added bulk Of the son of
Broomstick. which had not started
since June %. and he lacked the
springy., cherry-ripe appearance OF
Roamer, whose campaign at Empire
City had put him at the top Of his
form. While taking nothing away
from Roamer-as great a horse for
his inches as ever wore racing plates
the followers Of the Ross camp want
another race with the weight condi-
tions equalized before they will ad-
init the superiority of Mr. Miller's
champion. Both are eligible for the
Delaware Handicap on Tuesday. but
the distance of that event Is a mile
too short for Cudgel-and the Cham
plain on Saturday. August 10. at q
mile and a furlong, will probably be
the next occasion when the equine
warriors will battle for supremacy,
