FAMOUS SHIPPERS
 AT CHARTER OAK
Mabel TraSk and St. Frisco in
 Labor Day Free For All

Mabel Trask and St. Frisco are the most evenly matched pair of trOtters that were ever seen on the turf. Both of them carry race records of POI 34 and while the number of victories are in favor of the mare, it now looks as though Geers' horse has the best of the argument and is very apt to step q heat in two minutes or bette rim the free-fOr-all at Hartford on Labor day
 In order to bring these trOtterS tOgeth- CT again at Charter Oak park, the Con- neCtiCut Fair association offered $2,- 800 purse and while Miss Bertha Dill on declined the battle Cox came for ward with a second Richm Ond in Lu Princeton, tho stout battlcr that won in POP 1-4 and POP 3-4 at North Ran dall. These three great trOtters pre- sent a peculiar study for those who are interested in the Whims of stars from prima dOnnas to game chickens. St. Frisco is a plain everyday body in the horse world. His bump of curi- Osity is well developed but as soon as he familiarizes himself with his sur roundings he never shows disposition to make a rough house so long as he gets what is coming to him in the way of hay, oats and a few carrots. Lu Princeton Is so lazy that he will not move out Of his tracks unless or dered and sometimes persuaded to do so with an application of the whip. He trOts all of his races under pro- test and never breaks away flying un-
 til he is satisfied that everyone is ready for business. In the stable his
 only worry is a constant fear that the man with the feed box will fail to
 come early and often If he was not
 owned by a rich man. he would eat
 him out of house and home
 On the other hand, Mabel Trask is
 as demure and polite as the horse
 spoiled child, those in control of her make it a point to see that she is not crossed in anything O long as it does not interfere with her racing. When being logged if she stops to look around a. minute or two, no one dis turbs her until she is ready to move
 on. Also when being trained or raced horses. Instead of being tied both ways or walked she is turned loose in the box stall as soon as she comes in from the track and allowed to eat all the hay she wants or to take a drin k if she feels so disposed. Her groom also manages to take care of her phy- sical wants as she moves about in over instead of having an empty stOm- ach, she Is ready to have a snooze as soon as she has cooled out.

CITY LEAGUE CLOSES.
Crcscents Take First Honors With
 Two Tied For Second.

The Walnut Hill City baseball league successful season last Saturady after noon with a game between the Cres- cents and the Company M team. With the exception of the fifth inning when the Company M team scored six runs it was nip and tuck game but with these runs tucked away safely the Company M. team finished ahead of Supervisor of Fairgrounds Warren s. Slater presented each member of the Champion Crescent team with a handsome gold medal. With the ex- ception of the Company M team the Crescents defeated each of the other teams twice. Tn the series with the Company M boys they were defeated twice. The Company M team finished the season in tie for second place with the North Ends.

New York, Aug. 26.-Frank kram- CT nipped Francisco Nerri in the home stretch and won the 25 mile middle distance bicycle championship at the Velodrome in Newark yester- day. It was one of the greatest VIC tories scored by Kramer in recent years and the sensational manner ill which he accomplished it won for him a, thunderous ovation FolloWlnS Kramer over the tape were Verrl, Alt Brenda Reggie McNamara, Menus Bedeu and Fred Hill.
 Two laps from home Kramer did not appear to have a chance Jake Magin had obtained q big lead and looked like the winner. Nerri near the end gave chase and swinging into the last lap Nerri was well up on MaSin and soon passed him. Kramer, with a lap to go, was next to last and the spectators considered him as beaten Suddenly a streak of white shot out from the rear of the pack, and the shout went up. "There goes Kramer. It surely was Kramer and he was on his way. One by one he passed the big field, still it did not seem pos sible that he could catch Verri. Kra- mer did. though, swinging around the last turn and into the home stretch
 like a racehorse. He gave his famous final kick in the stretch, which just nipped Vcrrt at the tape

It would have required the joint efforts of Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Iris Speaker and a galaxy of other heavy hitters to have defeated the Pioneers of this city yesterday. As it was, they shut out the naval team from the New London base, 4 to 0. in what was agreed by all to be the snappiest game seen on the south end diamond this year.
 Pitcher Lynch was the principal reason for the defeat of the sailors Only 29 men faced the local rapid fire artist and the extras were turned back by double plays before they could reach the plate. Only one sail or seriously threatened to score and he was nipped by Schroeder on a bull let throw by Dudack from left field
 The visitors found it almost imDoS- sible to get the ball past the infeld which gave an exhibition equally as good as that produced in the palniy days of the Philadelphia Americans, when the famous stonewal inheld broke the hearts of all rival batsmen. Johnson, the Pioneers keystone man. had a circus day with II clean chances Each club made three dou- ble plays.
 Lovejoy of the New London men pitched good ball until the sixth when the Pioneers found his delivery easy picking and scored three runs. The fourth was made in the following 2 1 inning.
