NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—(By The Associated Press.) — Four and one-half games behind the leaders again as a re- sult of defeat yesterday at the hands of the Pirates, the New York Giants today neared the end of a disastrous mid- summer road trip without prospect of securing an even break for the trip before they take the back trail home to- morrow night. By snatching victory from the National league champions with a five-run rally in the eighth inning, 7 to 4, the Pittsburgh pace-makers tagged the New York team with its eleventh defeat in 19 starts since Polo grounds on July 23, An even break at Boston and three victories out of a series of four at Chicago gave the club an encouraging start until the western tour brought them into St. Louis.

Jack seems to be in the hands of men who like to make money at the expense of common sense. He fought with Jack Burke and the fight was stopped in the sixth round because of the unsatisfactory nature of the bout, _ Burke kept covering up and Delaney could not put him away after repeated knockdowns, Also he endangered his hands just as ho will endanger them when he meets Kayo Sampson in New York this week, The men he is being matched against have no chance to beat him but there is always the chance that Delaney will put his maulles out of commission against the thick heads of his opponents. It all shows to what ends the pro moters are obliged to go these days to get attractive cards for their stim- mer shows. GRANDADDY OF ALL RACE HORSES Ts Single G, Racing Since 1913 and Still Winning By NORMAN E. BROWN. The “wonder horse” of the light harness racing world is still carry- ing on. He is out for the money in the free-for-all pacing events in the meeting of the Grand Circuit at North Randall track, near Cleveland, Ohio, August 12-23. He is Single G. He is fifteen years of age and has been racing since 1913. He is probably the most mar. yelous plece of horse flesh ever foaled. He has accomplished more than any modern race horse, has covered more miles on race tracks and on .pullman horse cars than any other living racer, Since. the summer of 1913 he has been campaigned continuously and vigorously racing from Maine to Min- nesota instead of Maihe to California as the saying goes. His first professional appearance was in a race with the immortal pacer William at Terre Haute, in 1813 in which all the other starters but Single G. and William were distanced. His first appearance on the Grand Circult was at North Randall in 1915 when he won a 2:07 class pace. Many notable and interesting facts are attached to the career “of this pesrless horse.

The two have set out for the railroad yards, where Fowler is going to introduce Wilson to the yardmaster, ( CHAPTER IV—Continued Jim was one of the few real estate iconoclasts who had adventured in- to the high outskirts of the town. But the Widow O'Leary, whose pi- oneering blood had been thorough- ly drained by a steerage passage to America forty years before when she was—well, when she was forty years younger—had a large house near the center of town where it crowded like a brood hen oyer the flock of bungalows on either side. Business considerations, too, had a hand in Mrs, O'Leary location, for she “took boarders,” in addition to occasional unpai vities as a nurse and regular I-paid drud- gery in a backyard ‘elbow power laundry. She was zealously engaged in th latter branch of her manifold ent prises when Bob and Jim stopped by to inquire after the baby, to whom Mrs. O'Leary accorded the distraction and care of star boarder in her menage. Mrs. O'Leary stepped aside from her tub and revealed with a hush warning a plump infant where was sleeping in a small, padded “Then, air, he borrowed my half!" washbasket under the spacious tent of her skirts. Jim was duly im- pressed with the obvious serenity of his son and heir; Bob, similarly, with his namesake. “Mrs. O'Leary’s tongue pumped industriously in time with her arms as they resumed the soapy massag- ing of some engineer's balbriggans. Upon learning that Bob had decided to get work and remain with Jim she scolded. 4 “Now there alone and too far for back and forth in Besides,"—gently, to Jim, “'tis bet. ter for you not to live in rooms and with things that always remind you—”" you boys can't be living me to be trottin’ the care of it She pointed over a bepicketed suc- cession of small backyards. “Do you mind that brown bun- galow down the block.

Potts, hangdogishly alert in the manner of his nomadic kind, was ready to scuttle off at the first alarm during his lachrymose explanation “Spike insisted upon a division so I had to allot him half of the purse as it is dificult for a man of my naturally liberal and generous tendencies to resist the importuning of a friend—especially when that friend is equipped with a steel claw!” Potts caressed the seat of his pants in woeful reminiscence. “Then, sir, he borrowed my half!” Bob and Jim choked from a mix- ture of uncontrollable mirth at the comic opera complexion of tragic futility on Potts’ face and of angry contempt for the tactics of the sin- ister bully, Spike. So vehement were the promises of the young men to avenge him that peace of mind descended upon Potts like a gentle rain. Bathed in benign content- ment he waddled off, jauntily un- afraid, flourishing a fatly coy hand “Goodbye, my dear boys, and God bless you—Pottsey will not for- get you. And say, you'll find Spike hiding in the third car of that string of cattle emptigs on the southermost siding.” Potts broke into a carefree whis- tling of “Daisy Bell” as he march- ed toward the lonesome open spaces. Not many minutes later, Bob and Jim picked their way across the coal dusty yards and shimmering rails which, in the raw shower of sun- light, seemed to undulate like silver snakes, and located Morran by hearing before coming within sight of him. He was paying his disre- spects to an erring wiper upon the subject of empty oileans and emp- tier heads in tones that outdid the sun in lifting the atmospheric tem- perature.
