1t has been said that for every owner
who makes horse-racing pay, 100 find it d
costly hobby. An illustration may be
cited the case of Lord Falmouth. a noted
figure of the English turf, who pulled
down no less a sum than 81 100000 in
stakes. But his expenses were so heavy
that, to save himself from ruin, he was
obliged to sell all his race horses and
break up his magnificent breeding stud
Another case in point was that of Lord
George Bentinck, one of the luckiest of
owners, who declared that. if it were not
for his bets, racing would have brought
him to bankruptcy.

NAMASCHAUG TO
PLAY TOMORROW
Will Go Up Against Athletics at Fair
GrOunds-DOpe Indicates One of
Seasons Best Games.

The Brattleboro Athletics have not
given up hope that they will be per-
mitted by the weather man to stage a
ball game in the near future and have
gone so far in the attempt as to book
the fast Camp Namaschaug team who
were scheduled for a game two weeks
ago. when the severe storm caused a
pOstpOnement. These two teams are to
meet on the Valley fair grounds tomor-
row at 3 o'clock.
The fans probably have not forgotten
the makeup of the team as published,
which on paper seemed to be the fastest
and strongest team that has appeared on
the home grounds this season, and from
! all reports they have since then estab-
| lished beyond doubt that they are per-
| fectly capable of living up to their repu-
tatiOn, having played some pretty strong
| teams, coming out in each case on top
of the heap.
II Johnson of the camp team does the
| twirling, as he probably will, the locals
will have to put on their hitting togs
early in the morning and wear them all
| day, for this player, so they say, is the
real article, having some good curves,
plenty of smoke and a good head, which
goes a long way towards winning ball
game In addition to this he is ably
supported behind the bat by a real hon
est-to goodness catcher who is in the
/ game every minute, playing for all there
is in it and then some. In fact, his
work behind the bat goes q long way in
making Johnson's pitching effective.
| From all the dope Obtainable indica-
tions are that this will be without excep
| ton one of the best games of the season
and, a word to the wise fans should be
sufficient.
The Athletics will have the strongest
team they can produce and if Camp
Namaschaug gets away with this game
| they will have to work as they have not
worked before, as the locals are deter
mined to take the game just to even VI
for the defeat they suffered when they
/ journeyed to the camp earlier in the sea
| son.
The season is getting shorter as eacl
week goes by, and there will not be many
more chances to see the boys in action
so listen to the buzzing of the baseball
bee and hike up TO the grounds about
p. m. tomorrow afternoon and be one o
the big crowd.

acts as if he meant to keep the lead.

lower down in the list, while those who
