interesting game at Walnut Hill park,
d score Of to ). In the absence Of

cause of injuries, Harmon played at

we'll, and was the first man on the
New Britain team to cross the home
plate. Giana at third pulled some
good plays. One of the bascmen on
the local team has his time taken up
at the school with other matters con-
corning the ending of the years for
the senior class, and because Of this
fact it is noticeable that he has de-

Indications and it is hoped that he
will be able to make the team give

weapon Of offence.

War Cloud and Jack Hart, Jr.. Live
Up to Expectation on Pimlico
Track.
Pimlico, Md, May 16.-The larg-
est crowd that ever witnessed a horse
race in Maryland was packed into the
Pimlico track here yesterday to
watch the running of the Preakness,
in two divisions, at one mile and a
furlonc. The infield, which was
thrown open to the public, was a
solid mass of humanity. while walking
room was barely available in the pad
dock grandstand. Each race had a
value of $4,000.
Form players went home iubilant
with the scoring of victories by both
War Cloud. the A. X. Macomher colt,
and Jack Hare, IT., owned by w. E.
Applegate, both of whom were the ia
vorites. Both horses won in decisive
fashion, War Cloud taking he first
section which was run as the fourth
race, and the Apologize colt winning
the second division. down as the sixth
race.
The performance of War Cloud
rather appcased his fanciers for his
defeat in the Kentucky Derby at
Churchill Downs last Saturday. Over
track that was fairly fast War
Cloud proved himself a game thor
ougfbred, taking the lead when
called on and winning by three
quarters of a length from Sunny
Slope, an outsider which was second.
George Starr and Fla -gS set the ga rly
pace but weakened going around the
first turn and dropped back.
Jack Hare, Jr., ran as If decidedly
the best racer In the second Preakness
fixture. Charley Peak, the jockey, got
him off quickly and at the one-quarter
mile post was in the van. He raced
along in front all the way, unchal-
lenged, to win under slight restraint
by two lengths. The Porter was sec
ond, with Kate Bright third.

Reds Make BingIes Count and
Victory Is Their Reward

Cincinnati, May 16-The united eff
forts of Edward Roush, champion
batter of the National league, and
Sherrod and Lee Magee were re-
quired to bring about the defeat of
the Giants by to 2 here yesterday
afternoon. 1t was close tussle be-
tween RUDE Benton on one side and
Roush and the Magees on the other,
but the local com bination of batting
experts triumphed.
The Giants made twice as many
hits off the Red pitchers as the
Roush -Magees combination sampled
Benton for, but the blows of the lat
ter were in close proximity to each
other. while those of the New York
ers were registered at irregular in
tc1Vals. That explains why four hits
produced three runs, while ten scat
tered thumps resulted in but two
talles.
Peter Schneider, who started the
game on the mound for the Rods,
was injured during the third inning

from the outfeld, and was compelled
