1t was right out here at Bowie
autumn before last that Trainer
Bob Smith signed Bellizzi as a
contract rider for the horses he
trained. The boy had had a
splendid showing at Empire
City and in the summer of 1892
rode for Smith and Mrs. Sloane
at Saratoga when he was not
otherwise engaged. He was the
stables light rider. which is to
say that he could ride at less
than los pounds.
Bellizzi was first known as an
exercise boy for the Harry F.
Sinclair stables and stayed with
the Rancocas owner until the
string was dispersed. Then G.
D. Cameron became interested
in the lad, taking him to Aqua

at that. He was ridden by Capt.

Col. Toddy George, who is
in charge of the Fort Myer
team, is largely responsible for
Flash still being in competition
at his advanced age. Colonel
George knew Flash when he
was a young jumper and never
forgot him.
Shifted to Fort Myer several
years ago, the Colonel inquired
about Flash and was informed
he was just a riding mount for
the troopers across the Potomac.
Unable to believe Flash was
no longer a show horse, George
took him out and tried him
over several jumps and from
that point brought him back to
competition and the winner Of
any number of ribbons.

Mrs. Sloane Takes Lead on 1884 Racing Season
Her Horses Win First BrOOkneade Victories
Six Important Stakes SGddened as Jock Dies
By KIRK MILLER

:. No sportswoman in the his
tory of the American turf has
started a racing campaign so
.auspiciously as has Mrs. Isabel
Dodge Sloane who now holds
o terrific advantage over all of
the other stables in view of the
1884 showing of the Brook
meade horses.
When her Okapi won the To-
boggan Handicap on the open
ing day at Belmont Park it
marked the sixth important
stake a Brookmeade thorough
bred has won this year and in
view of the fact there have
only been half dozen such
events run the clean sweep
gives Mrs. Sloane a running
start which will be difficult
to overcome.
Since the turn of the year
this remarkable lady owner
who has her breeding farm at
Columbia, South Carolina, won
the Florida Derby with Time
Clock, the Chesapeake at
Havre de Grace and Kentucky
Derby at Louisville with Caval-
cade. the Wood Memorial and
.Preakness with High Quest and
Wednesday the Toboggan with
Okapi.
May Double Earnings
In a space of time covering
about half of last years racing
season and up to the present
time Mrs. Sloane's thorough
breds have enriched her to the
extent of $232,605. With the
-Withers, Belmont, American
Classic, Detroit Derby, Travers
and one or two other very val
liable events still to be con-
tested, the Brookmeades face
a chance to double their earn
1ngs 'ere the northern season
closes.
Oddly enough, neither the
colts which won the Derby or
Preakness happen to be the ia
vorite of the fair head of the
House of Brookmeade. Her real
weakness of the entire stable is
-Okapi.
If she were given the choice
of parting with all of her ami
mails but one, it would be Okapi
that would be retained. She
believes bad racing luck and the
fact that Okapi was used as a
pacemaker for Caesars Ghost,
1nlander and some of the other
Brookmeade horses last year is
what has kept the winner Of vhe
Toboggan from being a cham
pion.
In view of the splendid start
taken this season by the ami
mails trained by the veteran,
Bob Smith, it seems that only
the worst of breaks will keep
Mrs. Sloane's horses from being
the leading money winners o.
1894.

has come to the Brookmeade
stable this season is somewhat

CLEVELAND, May 19.-Look'
ing forward has been the motto
of the nation ever since President
Roosevelt first took office, for the
big endeavor in his administra'
ton has been to create the
thought that plenty Of hope is
ahead if we mortals keep the
faith.
In baseball way the Griffmen
today had a ray of hope pushed
in their direction which promises
loads of happine.s in the future
if only that same hope and faith
is kept in the minds and hearts
of the performers.
That ray of sunshine today was
pitching-pitching of the sort
Lefty Walter Stewart turned in
for Manager Cronin's gang in yes.
terdays second game of the cur.
rent series with the Cleveland In
dianS.
Great Hurting
It was great hurting, that per-
formance of Stewards, and it fill
ed the Griffmen with so much
hope today that they were ready
to believe that they have a chance
for the pennant after all-and this
with few reservations.
Taking every game since the
campaign opened the Griffs
haven't received the pitching they
should as the days have rolled by.
Most of this has been because the
boys arrived North from the train"
ing camp Sorely in need of addl"
tional competition which they
failed to get during the unusually
short trip home. The other part
has been due to the bad breaks
each man has had to put up with,
and this includes almost every
game that has been lost.
But aside from all this, there
has still prevailed the thought
there was to be turn for the bet
ter somewhere, somehow in the
future. Yesterday Stewart re-
vived the thought just at mo"
ment when the spirit of the entire
team was at its lowest ebb since
the new season opened. And to-
day as a result, every pitcher on
the roster had it in back of his
mind to follow their teammates
example, even though it might be-
come the most difficult task IN his
respective case.
Allows Seven Hits
Stewart granted the Indians
seven hits in turning in his well
deserved triumph. He kept all OF
these bingles scattered with the
exception of the sixth inning,
when Walter Johnson's men
punched two to score their only
run of the game.
Besides this. Stewart had his
fast ball and change of pace work.
ing in such good form that the
Indians found it difficult at most
every turn to crash through with
base hit when it meant some
thing. With this situation pre-
vailing it was easy for the GriffS
to play their best game in days
a case that has not ruled for some
reason Or other in the last week
or so.
The infield, as an example, went
through the entire game without
the sign of a bobble, while the
outfield, with Fred Schultz star"
ring, performed as if it was the
deciding contest of the season and
a championship at stake.

rooms. The kitchen had built
in cabinets and was Of ample
size. II interested, investigate
at once, as the house is most de-
sirable and in a splendid neigh
borhood.
HALL PLACE N. w.:
Over on Hall Place ran
across one of the incest rooms.
A second floor room with
porch that overlooks George
town Medical School and sur
rounding woods. It is furnished
in a very comfortable manner
having students desk and
study lamp and numerous other
pieces Of furniture to add to
the comfort Of the guest. This
is located on one of the highest
elevations of the city and is
very cool. The owner Of the
house has placed comfortable
chairs on the porch for the use
of the guest. The rental asked
is most reasonable.
NEAR GEORGETOWN:
On Que Street near George
town ran across a cleverly ar
ranged apartment. Copied after
the English plan of grouping a
number of buildings around a
courtyard, this three room
kitchen and bath apartment
was located on the third floor
and had three exposures. The
secret desire of most housewives
is to have a well-appointed
kitchen and plenty of closet
space. That is exactly what
this one haG and I am quite sure
it would make a comfortable
home. Plenty of stores, churches
and schools nearby. If inter
eSted, give me a ring.
LOWER 10TH STREET:
There seems to be a great de-
mand for apartments on Six
teenth Street and I will admit
they are hard to find, however,
I found one consisting of one
room, kitchen and bath with
pullman kitchen for $4,000: The
building was in splendid condi-
ton and offered elevator and
switchboard service. Located so
near to downtown, apartments
in this building are quite in de-
mand and it is seldom you can
find vacancy. I offer this for
your inspection.

No matter where you are some

where there is a riot of color.

carried out. The studio had

First Symphony Here Oct. q

Despite the fact that what An
drew Mellon calls expensive
noise" which is his term for the
tonal intricacies known as SYM
phony music, has become more or
less familiar to every one, one still
finds an occasional guilelesS
listener asking, yes. but couldn't
they play just as well without the
man waving his arms?"
The answer is, of course, that
orchestras cannot play without
that man waving his arms" for
his humble duties, just to mention
few of the most salient, are to
"cue" each instrument in and out
of the fabric of the music; to set
the time and rhythm and to keep
them or change them as neces-
sary; to so control the players
that the music is properly shaded,
or accented, or melodies outlined;
to keep nearly a hundred men
alert to one of the most intricate
and delicate of human tasks, and
then, finally, to inspire them so
that something beyond faultless
playing, rhythm, and accent is
produced-the something general
ly called beauty.
The heroic task of keeping the
orchestra intact between concerts
belongs to the personnel manager.
In the case of the National Sym
phony Orchestra, he is that tall,
rather placid man who. thought
fully scans the music on the racks
before each concert, sees that the
special drum, or whatever it is, is
in the proper place, sees that the
men are carefully tuning their in
struments, sees that the men take
their places at the proper time,
sees that the conductor is notified
that all is ready, sees to rehearsal
notices and sees to personnel pro-
blemS of all sorts.
The tall, placid man is Mr..
George Gaul, who has just been
reengaged by Conductor Hans
Kinder for another season to con-
tinue his labors.
The business of the orchestra
will be handled this year, as in
