the 6 furlongs three lengths in ad-
vance Of Elmer Dale Shaffer's Eve
ming Shadow, an outsider. Favored

Her only defeat came in the recent
Schuylerville, in which she trailed
Nrs. Edwards Friendly Jacola and
Je6ords' Creole Maid. Today Jacola
was third. two lengths back Of Eve
ming Shadow. but Creole Maid dropped
out OF contention carly in the run
ming.
After the running Of the Travers,
Samuel D. Riddles War Admiral g.
year champion, was paraded along
the tnf1eld. The unbeaten son Of Man
o War was accorded q mighty ova-

Marks Give Slab
Title to Johnson

\ BASE ball camp follower wants
to know how Walter johnson
compared with Alexander in shut
outs and with Cy Young in strike
outs.
Johnson had 113 shutouts,
against 80 for Alexander.
johnson had 3497 strikeouts,
against 1886 for Cy Young.
When it comes to a matter of
strikeouts and shutouts, johnson
still Is we'll ahead Of any rival.
And this is a pretty fair standard
by which one can Judge pitching
ability. There may be a better

broken up by soft place in the old
Fair Grounds track. Jack Donohue

chased Tod Sloan's mount home in the
Brooklyn Handicap At Gravesend-
Sloan and Scherer finishing first and
second on Pittsburgh Phils entry
WAS aboard Jack Donohue. He had
the horse under double wraps in the
stretch when the soft place meant q
snapped shank. Jack never finished
the race.
