TAFT MEET in A
CHICAGO HOTEL
The Former Presidents Grip
Hands and Have Half
Hours Lively Talk

Chicago, May 27.-Theodore Roose-
velt and William H. Taft. former
Presidents of the United States, met
last night in a Chicago hotel and
held their first extended amicable
conversation since the National Re-

at that convention, held in Chicago,

nominated Mr.. Taft.
The meeting occurred in the din

made his way to the Coloners table.
The men gripped hands and smiled
broadly, while the other diners rose
and cheered.

Presidents sat down and engaged in
animated conversation for half an
hour. Finally, as Mr. Taft rose to
go. they shook hands and each SEEM
ingly was in the best spirits. Meth
er the Colonel nor Mr.. Taft would
divulge the topic of conversation.
Mr.. Taft heard I was here and
Immediately came to see me-" said
Colonel Roosevelt. I'VE had a very
enjoyable half-hour's talk and 1 am
very happy to see him again"
Mr.. Taft said:
IL heard the Colonel was here be-
fore l saw him. I missed the OPP
portunity of seeing him at the time
of the dinner to Marshal Joffre in
New York. I was very glad to see
him at this time"
The meeting followed publication
here this morning of the news of
their exchange of kilograms last
winter. when Mr.. Taft telegraphed a
hope of the Coloners speedy recovery
while the latter lay ill in a New
York hospital.

S15.OOO AUTO RACE.
Chevrolet Enters for International
 Sweepstakes.

Louis Chevrolet, speedway cham- pion of 1917, who will wear the colors of France in the International Sweep stakes at Sheepshead Bay speedway next Saturday afternoon, last night won his point, when it was announced that $15,OOO of the $25,00o purse would go to the winner.
 For more than a week Chevrolet fought against any other distribution of the money. At the last minute he also opposed the plan of running the race in five heats at two, ten, twenty, thirty and fifty miles. It developed last night that in agreeing to the short heats, Chevrolet obtained the consent of the other drivers to make the win ner's share $15,0OO As each of the drivers has put up $2,O00 of his own money, they had the right to decide.
 The other prizes will be: Second, s5,o0O; third $3,O0o; fourth, $1,50O, and fifth, $500 This means that the fourth man will lose $500 of his own money, while the fifth man will be out S1,500. However, there was little argument over the division of the rich purse, as each driver is confident he will capture the grand prize.

AT SARATOGA.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. 13,- Favor1tes had a rocky road to travel here yesterday. The track was rough and heavy in spots from the recent rain and failed to suit four choices, Koh-I-noon and St. Quentin being the only well backed horses to earn the judges decision. The track was not the only rough thing, however, Jockeys Ensor and McGraw gave ex- hibitions of riding that caused their packers to gnash their teeth. Ensor was responsible for the defeat of Corn Tassel in the fourth race and Battle in the last.

GRAND CIRCUIT RAGING
Murphy Annexes Two Wins in First Day on Philadelphia Track-2:O4 Pace Feature of the Day.

Philadelphia, Aug. 13. - Spirited opening day of the Grand Circuit meeting at the Belmont Driving club s track at Narberth yesterday. The non- < arrival of several horses from Cleve- land and a couple of slight accidents held the fields down, but the quality of racing thoroughly satisfied the crowd.
 Two of the three events resulted irI split heat races, and Tommy Murphy added two first moneys to his win nings, with Directum J and ChiIcpot, but was distanced with Zombrino in the 2:07 pace. when the black stall lion cut himself severely while acting badly. Walter Cox won this event with Betsy Hamlin. Flo Stately broke down after finishing second in the first heat and was drawn.
 The 2:04 pace furnished the fea- ture. Murphy landed the first aBd third heats, but every one of the three was a hard drive. Baxter Lou took the second heat. and led to the half in the third, but the pace was too fast and Directum won the heat from Hal Boy in 2:03 3-4. The 2:0S trot was procession for Chilcoot.
 The three races were contested on the each heat a race plan and every horse that started, except those dra~ tanced, won part of the money.

MCCARTHY STILL WITH GIANTS.

A wire from Duluth last night said that "G. l.. McCarty. New York Ma tional catcher" had arrived there to play ball and work in the steel mills.

He expects to play with the Giants till the end of the season. There's an American association play CT named McCarty who may be the man referred to.

A revised schedule of National league games has been sent out by Secretary John Heydler, and has re- arranged certain dates so that each ,lub will finish on Labor day with ap- DroXimately the same number of games, which will be around 125.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROW.
Comiskey and Griffith Claim Frazea
 MiSquOted Them.

The storm signals are out and the stage is set in the American League for a battle royal but it doesn't look aa though much of anything is going td happen. H. H. Frazee says he never has said that he actually signed the protest against Johnson which was published over the names of Comiskey Griffith and Frazee. Comiskey and Griffith already have denied their con- nection with the published criticism, leaving the finger of suspicion pointed toward Frazee.
 But this no time to air an affair." of this kind, says Frazee
 It probably is not. Baseball will ba through in a few weeks and enough unpleasantness already has happened and is happening. Johnson has every reason to take action, but has remains ed silent possibly awaiting the possess sion of more evidence. Some time in the future there will be a showdown between Johnson and Frazee which will relieve one or the other of his baseball connection. On many points Johnson may be scored, but it remairra as a fact that the repudiated criticism of him from Cleveland was one of tha most fatuous things that have bee@s published in baseball circles. @

THE GREATEST TNFIELD.
Former Mack Quartette Now Broken
 Up.

Eddie Collins plans to quit baseball this week and join the navy. His old fielding mate, Jack Barry, is already in Uncle Sams harness, as are other of the stars who once immortalized the Philadelphia Athletics.
 Baker, Barry, Collins and McInnis were a wonderful infield. There never was a greater one, though Chicagoans probably will aver that Stefnfeldt, Tinker, Evers and Chance, of the old Cubs, surpassed or at least equalled, the Mackian quartet. But the most of us will favor Baker, Barry, Collins and McInnis, and there has never been q greater infelder than Collins. He could do and does do everything well. In addition, he is uncommonly con- sistent under any and all conditions. Aside from the pitchers, he was the star of the 1917 series.
 There is perfect balance to Col lins playing. He fields and throws without a flaw and uses beautiful judgment in playing for batters, as he has come to know them over years of experience. He handles throws from the catcher to nab stealing runners with pOise and bOldness, and he can cut down a throw and toss to the plate on ar attempted double steal as well as any one. In addition. he hits iudicously, varies his style of attack, runs the bases and slides well. There are no players year in and year out of more team value than Eddie ro11i17s

Glad tidings came from the West to the Giants last night. Bennie Kauff wired that as he has a furlough while the Giants are scheduled in Cincin- nat and Pittsburgh he will play a few games with the boys and see whether army training has dimmed his batting eye or lessened his speed. Bennie is at Camp Sherman, and says soldering is the greatest thing in the world.
