2-YEAR-OLDS RACE
FOR LARGE PURSE
Fighter and SangreaI Head
Field of II in $4,000
Hopeful at Spa.

q ARAToGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
- August 81 R.-With the
major share of $4,000 and q
strong claim to the 2-year-old
championship awaiting the winner
at the end Of the 61a furlongs, the
ranking juveniles of the country bat
tied it out in the thirty-first run
ming of the hopeful as Saratoga s
most successful meeting in many
years closed today.
Seventeen feet turf youngsters, in
cluding all of the outstanding con-
tenders for the divisions crown with
the exception of Grand Slam, were
named overnight for the rich stake.
After winning the Arlington Fu-
turity and coming East especially for
the event, Grand Slam was forced
to withdraw due to a bruised foot
suffered in a workout few days ago.
Race Is Wide Open.
MRS. ETHEL v. MARS, Chicago
49, sportswoman racing under the
nom de course of the Milky Way
Farms, nominated the probable ia
vorites in naming the Fighter and
Sangreal. After winning four races
and being left at the post in his
other start in the West, the Fighter
came East to thrash many of the
same horses he meets today in the
Grand Union Hotel Stakes q week
ago. In Sangreal he has a running
mate which turned in a brilliant VIC
tory this week.
The race was wide-open betting
affair, however, with E. D. Shaffer's
Coldstream and c. v. Whitney's Red
Rain, the pair which ran a dead
heat in the Saratoga special, strongly
favored along with Bold Venture, j.

J. Hickey, president Of the American

''little world series" with the Inter

meet the association pennant winner.
I'VE played their play-off winner

CATCHING STAFF
HARRIS PROBLEM
Pilot interested in Rook Re-
ceiver-CIub Is to Be
Reorganized.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.
2 A c,rE nnNAK0Mn lnnknrfa

YACK REDMOND, a lantern
jawed young catcher who has
spent nearly full season with
- the Nationals in the shadows
of the bull pen, suddenly is due to step
into the spotlight now as their plans
for 1896 go forward.
As far as Capital fandom is con-
cerned, Redmond may occupy only
fleeting rays Of the spotlight, for, un-
doubtedly, the rookie receivers test
will be overshadowed by the keen and
natural interest already attached to
Cecil Travis forthcoming shift to the
outfield, young Buddy Lewis trial on
third base and Dick Lanahan's test In
the box.
But If the fans chief interest Is
elsewhere, that of President Clark
Griffith and Manager Bucky Harris Is
not likely to be centered more keenly
anywhere than behind the bat during
the remainder of this season. The
catching problem for 1896 is secondary
in importance to none other and, as
a matter of fact, 1t may provide more
headaches than any other enigma #
Redmond fails to pan out.
Big League Catchers Scarce.
GENT home from Detroit three weeks
~ ago with pair of dead" fingers,
Redmond was to join the Griffs today
as they were to open two-game series
here against the Boston Red Sox.
And the young and rugged Arizonan,
who never really got chance to show
his wares behind the plate this season,
finally will hear opportunity's knock.
If he listens hard enough he also may
hear a fervent prayer coming from
the direction of the ball clubs front
Office.
Winter trades, of which there will
be an abundance involving the Griff-
men, may take care Of the outfleld
problem, the infield situation, or the
pitching enigma, but it is extremely
doubtful If the trade winds will carry
as far as the Washington catching
department for one reason. That Is
the shortage of big-league backstops.
Few, II any, American League clubs
are so well supplied with catcherS that
they will put this species of ball player
on the block this Winter unless they
get, in return, at least receiver as
good. The Nationals, for instance,
have only one recognized big league
catcher and he is Cliff Bolton, who,
while no genius behind the plate, is
almost certain to remain with the club
and do the bulk of next years back
stopping.

Holbrook Fails to Excite.

IT ISN'T the No. catching job, how
= ever, that is worrying the bosses
Of the Griffith A. c., but the reserve
posts, and that is where Redmond fits
into the picture. As a part-time
catcher last season, and heir to the
day-in, day-out job this session, Bolton
has shown a distressing susceptibility
to injury. During these last two years
he has suffered, among other injuries,
two broken fingers.
Naturally, If digit fractures are going
to be an annual disaster, then the
problem Of finding an adequate re-
placement Is serious one.
Unfortunately all around, Redmond
was stricken with his singular ailment
just a couple Of days before Bottoms
finger was broken during the recent
Western swing. Thus the way was
paved for Sam Holbrook, third mem
Der of the local receiving corps, to
make his bid, and while Sam has done
well enough, his performances have
not excited Harris particularly.
Holbrook's chief handicap, perhaps,
Is inexperience. It isn't known yet
whether he'll hit big-league pitching,
but it is doubted. As a thrower Sam
has much room for improvement.
During one stretch in the final swing
Of the West eight bases were stolen
in nine games by rival clubs while
Sammy was behind the bat.

has a pretty good line on Hol-
brook, but, as for Redmond, little is
known of his prowess or potentialities.
Because he, like Bolton, is left
handed batter, Jack never received
much Of o chance behind the plate,
but Harris announced today that
from now until the end Of the season
Redmond would see action whenever
. right-handed pitcher faced the
Grifis.
If Redmond can I'LL the bill in a
fashion that stamps him as a capable
understudy to Bolton next year, he
can 60 far toward removing some of
the burden now on the shoulders of
Griffith and Harris. Outside of the
necessity Of tearing apart and re-
building the pitching staff, finding a
satisfactory shortstop and gathering
what may be an entirely new array
Of outflelders, Griff and Bucky will
have nothing to worry about.

ROUT CARDS LIKE
THEY DID GIANTS
Pirates Now Threaten to
Annoy Cubs-Tigers Are
Raked by Browns.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR.,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
TT HARDLY seems probable that
the Pittsburgh Pirates will win OF
even threaten the National League
pennant in their belated rush, but
their effort to get into the thick of
the struggle already has made things
hot for two of the three contenders
and the third is next in line.
In the course of rolling up a nine
game winning streak and placing
themselves onlN six games behind the
lead, the Buccaneers have knocked of
the Giants three times in a row ami
the league-leading Cardinals twice.
Today they come up against the third
place Cubs in another short series
that may cause a disturbance in the
standings.
When they trimmed New York, the
Pirates put the Giants az games be-
hind st. Louis. Then they made up
for that against the Cards, reducing
their lead to a single game with a
9-to-3 trouncing yesterday. The Cubs,
who ventured into Pittsburgh with a
record Of IL victories in 18 games with
the Buccos, are only game and a
half behind the Cards.
Bucs Win, But Lose L. Waner.
FOLLOWING up Thursdays rout Of
Dizzy Dean, the Pirates opened
fire on Wild William Hallahan in the
first inning, when Lloyd Waner scored
a run, but injured a leg sliding home
and put himself out of action for q
week or more. They routed the st.
Louis southpaw with three runs in the
third. after the Cards had tied it up,
and finished with a four-run outburst
against Phil Collins in the eighth.
Paul Waner took the leading role
In the two big rallies, betting a triple
each time with men on the sacks and
scoring on Arky Vaughan's hits.
Vaughan established a Pirate record
when he clouted his nineteenth home
run Of the year In the seventh, sur
passing the high marks Of Glenn
Wright and George Grantham. Mean
while Red Lucas held the league lead
ers to seven blows, one of them Joe
