SHOP H OS ete SLOANE WAS FOULED English Race Course Crowd Demands Fair Play for Him. ———_+—_— SYMPATHY FOR THE AMERICAN Brutal and Unfair Conduct of Rivals Angers Spectators. HIS ENEMIES PUNISHED From the New York Journal, Today. LONDON, September 29.—A dozen horses were thundering up the straight, a mass of color in which the jockeys’ arms could be seen rising and falling like flails. From grandstand and paddock aros> 2 roar, in which only two names could be disen- tangled—the name of Kirschwasser, Lord Dunraven's horse, and of his jockey, Tod s the first race at Newmarket, and it was seen that once more the littl Amer- ican had the best jockeys in England beat- en. But that was reckoning without the fury that is born of defeat. For, while every pair of eyes at the rac2course was fastened upon Sloane, who was riding eas ily, with his hands down, two of his rivals de a concerted attack upon him. They were Sam Loates, one of the most famous jockeys in tha world, and Nat Robinson, who holds a front rank on the English turf. Nothing could have been more palpable. it was nothing less than a vicious attempt to bump into the American jockey from either side—tactics which might easily have urhorsed a less skillful rider and s2riously injured his mount, and which did actually enable Loates, who was riding Mandola, to pass first under the wire. English Love of Fair Play. But such an uproar of shame and indig- ion as this performance aroused has seldom before been heard on an English rac? course. There was not for an instant a note of divided partisanship. All the sympathy was with the American who had been thus brutally “sandbagged” out of a race justly won, and for the English jock- eys there were no words save those of fierce reprobation. Tod Sloane took it all very coolly. He was not hurt, and there was no change in his “imperturbable features as he slid to the ground and handed the reins to Lord Dunraven’s trainer. “Where's the objection room?” he in- quired, dryly, and not another word did he say until called upon officially to give his version of what had taken place. = This happened immediately, but before making any inquiry at all—acting solely on the strength of what everybody had seen— the stewards awarded the race to Kirsch- wasser, and when his number was posted a roar of satisfaction went up from the crowd. Then Loates and Robinson were haled be- fore the judges for sentence. The proceed- ings were abrupt. Loates was suspended from riding for a pericd of many weeks and warned that a repetition of his offense would probably end his turf career. Rob- inson, who was guilty only in a minor sense, and appeared very remorseful, es- caped with a siern reprimand and an equal- ly stern warning. : Then Tod Won Two More. With one race thus to his credit, little Tod Sloane went back to the track and brilliantly won two out of his other three races. It was practically impossible for him to win the third, for the horse he rode had burst a blood vessel and was trussed up in bandages. Not since tne palmiest days of the late Fred Archer, England’s most famous jockey of all time, has a jockey received such an ovation at Newmarket. It was largely in- spired by a desire on the part of the fair- minded multitude to disavow and atone for the conduct of Sloane’s disgraced rivals; but the enthusiasm was equally attributable to Sloane's extraordinary horsemanship. Never were his uncouth methods—uncouth to Eaglish eyes—so strongiy in evidence; never were results more completely suc- cessful,more destructive of all the cherished insular theories of how race horses should be ridden to victory. He was the hero of the day. Against heavy odds the little man rode to victory Mr. Lorillard’s Myakka and Lord Harewood’s Cranesbill. The peculiarity of his riding, so much commented on, is that he leans far forward upon his horse's neck. His theory is that this posture enables him to offer less re- sistance to the wind, which he believes to be an important element in the speed of a horse, just as it is in the speed of a bi- cyclist, as little Jimmie Michael discovered to his profit and fame. Moreover, it les- sens the burden on the hind legs, which are the driving legs. Apart fron. this peculiarity, which does not recommend him to the esthetic ap- proval of English horsemen, Sloane has a splendid equipment of coolness and uner- ring judgment. In other words, he is a thoroughly accomplished jockey in every branch of the calling. ————— GER IN ELEVATOR SHAFTS, Ds A Suggestion of a Means to Close Them in Case of Fire, To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: The recent fire at Robinson, Chery & Co.'s is another reminder of the rapid and complete destruction of large buildings con- taining elevator shafts.

It was another exam- ple of that rowdyism which, according to the best accounts, has about killed the game in New York city, and of which the New York team, as conducted by Mr. “Bill” Joyce, appears to be the sole exponent. Certainly no one but Joyce was responsible yesterday, but he was ably assisted by his men Cy Seymour, who during the first two in- nings seemed invincible, was jumped upon by Irwin's men in the third, when he was touched up for four hits, three runs result- ing on the hits and a pass. In the following inning five men scored on three singles, a pass and Selbach’s homer when the bases were filled. Gatans’ double, Wrigley'’s sacri- fice and McGuire's out at first sent one more Senator home in the fifth inning, and in the sixth safe bunts by Baker and Mercer, Sey- mour’s wild throw and a pass gave the Sen- ators three more runs. Up to this inning the Giants had made but one hit off Baker, whose pitching improves from game to game, but on Gettig’s single to left, Van Haltren’s out at first and Davis’ single to center the New Yorkers scored their only run. During the inning Warner hit to Carr, who threw to Baker. Umpire Connolly de- clared Warner out, whereupon the jatter questioned the decision in such insulting language that Connolly put him out of the game. When the Giants took the field in the next inning Warner attempted to take his place behind the plate, but Mr. Connolly was firm and compelled him to retire. Then Joyce and his men gathered about the um- pire and, by bulidozing tactics, vainl tempted to force him to recall his d s to Warner. Joyce apparently was at a loss just what to do. It could be plainly seen that he had little, if any, command over his men, who wrangled among them- selves as to what p Guring the inning. playing catcher and upon filling the rubbers F wrangling and not until had threatened to declare feited to the Scnators, did Joyce and his o ahead. Then it was seen that Get- hind the plate, Seymour on the son at first, Doyle on second, Van Haltren at short,’ Joyce in right, Do- heny on third. Seymour merely lobbed the balls in, and the men behind contented themselves with throwing the ball at them- selves and at the, Washington men. Manager Irwin indignantly demanded of Umpire Snyder that he either put an end to the disgusting exhibition or compel the New Yorkers fo play ball, exclaiming, amid the cheers of the crowd, that unless he did so he would place himself on a level with the would-be comedians from New York. Snyder endured the disgraceful exhibition for several minutes, the crowd meantime hissing and hooting at the visitors and de- manding that the game be called, and then he recognized the demands of Manager Ir- win and the crowd, the New Yorkers leav- ing the field amid the jeers of the specta- ymour. upon on first and Davis nally, after much Umpire Snyder the game for- tors, Score: Washington.

New Yorks and Senators again today. Meekin and Williams are the probable pitchers. Speedy men on the bases showed off to good advantage yesterday. - Kirtley Baker is strictly all right. He has had experience in the big league and has apparently perfect control of the ball. Umpire Snyder's decision on Selbach’s slide to the home plate dissatisfied the spec- tators. Sel missed the plate and Warner also failed to tab the German Senator. No decision was given, and then Warner, comprehending the situation, ran to the bench and touch Selbach. Had play been resumed without Sel being tab! the run would have counted. Several of the Senators’ hits at the start off were lucky. They banged away at Sey- mour's delivery, and instead of hitting the ball hard, tantalizing bunts followed. Later on the ball was hit for keeps. With Mercer in center the Senators’ out- Keeler sprained his ankie® field looks exceptionally strong. lerce” can be taught to field his position, and in every other part of the game he belongs to the thoroughbred class. Reitz was out of the game yesterday on account of a bad attack of “Charley-horse.” Wrigley took his place and did well, al- though the chances offered were for the most part rather easy. If “Zeke” would curb his propensity to chatter his playing would be gilt-edged and more enjoyable to the onlookers. The Washington people had an idea the Senators were disorganized some weeks back, before Manager Irwin took hold, but the New Yorks are a practical illustration of the word disorganization. All the play- ers are apparently playing everything safe, So as not to have errors charged against them, and when hard work is necessary they simply refuse to put life into their work. Joyce is blamed for this situation of affai but Mr. Freedman, the head of the club, is alone responsible. Selbach’s hit that cleared the bases was a tremendous drive. Foster was playing a deep field and started immediately after the ball, but just managed to get the tips of his fingers on it a few feet from the score board, the sphere rolling up against the fence. The German Senator was weil pleased with himself over the drive. The right field bleacherites were after Jack Doyle again yesterday, hooting, whis tling and hurling all sorts of adjectives in the first baseman’s direction. Jack enjoys this sort of notoricty, and for fear the bleacherites would let up on him, now and then sent back rep! that kept the at- mosphere moving And made it assume a dark blue tinge.

GALLAUDET’S SCHEDULE, The College to Be Represented by an Unusually Strong Team. Gallaudet College will be represented by and unusually strong foot ball team this season. There are many candidates, but the make-up of the team has already been practically decided upon. Barham, last year’s full back, is expected to return by the first of next week. He will materially strengthen the team. There are three new men who will be given positions, but they have had previous experience and may be relied upon. Captain Rosson has had the team out at practice every day for the past week, and it has lined up twice against the scrub eleven. The work done thus far, though not brilliant, has been very promising. Waters, who was a brilliant player last year, shows his old-time form, and Captain Rosson and Andree are also in fine ccndition. The fol- lowing is the make-up of the team at the present time: W. Rosson, lL. h. b., 190; Bum- gardner, q. Brooks, r. g., 169; An- dree, c., 161; Waters, r. h. b., 150; L.”Ros- son, 1. e@., 145; Jones, | g., 196; Carpenter, r. t., 141; Ownbey, |. t., 173; Kleberg, r. e., 151; Braithwaite, sub.; 137; Souder, sub., 140, In Ownbey Washington will find a giant He stands 6 feet 6 inches, and in uniform will tip the beam at 188. Jones and Brooks each stand 6 feet 2 inches. Kleberg is a new man, but he has the qualitles which go to make a good foot ball player. ‘The second team is made up of candidates unsuccessful in obtaining a position on the first. The men average 130 pounds. This team will play the Central High School second team October 8 at home, and other light teams later on. The University of Pennsylvania asked for October 5, but it is impossible for the team to make a long trip Wednesday. Practice games will also be played with the city High Schools. Manager Carrell has arranged the follow- ing schedule of games: pOctober 8, Gettysburg College at Gettys- burg. October 12, Eastern High School at home.

The betting was five to four on Draco. Sloan also won the Scurry nursery stakes, a handicap of five sovereigns each for starters, wit 100 sovereigns added, for two-year-olds. His mount was the Loril- lard-Beresfcrd stable’s bay gelding Mana- tee. Eleven horses ran. The betting was 5 to 4 against Manatee. Sloan added the Rous memorial stakes of 15 sovereigns each, with 400 soverzigns added for the owner and 100 sovereigns for the nominator of the winner, for two-year- olds, to his list of victories for the day, piloting Sir R. Waldie Griffith's brown filly Landrail in first. Three hors2s ran. The betting was 5 to 2 against Landrail. An all-ages selling plate of 103 sovereigns, the winnar to be sold by auction, was also captured by Tod Sloan, who rode the Lortl- lard-Beresford stable’s three-year-old chest- aut filly Libra.

The first race meet of the American Rac- ing Cyclists’ Union, the newly organized body of professional racing men, will be held in this city at the track of the Park Bicycle Club, on the Conduit road, tomor- row afternoon, commencing at 3 o'clock. The option which was given to the man- agers of the Colosseum track at Baltimore, to take the meet for that date, was not accepted, and the preparations were rush- ed for the local meet. All of the prominent racing men are now in town, and are at the Hotel Regent. They will remain in this city for nearly a Week, staying over for the two race meets sch2duled. Of the racing men, twenty-eight out of the origina! thirty who signed the papers for a preliminary organization of profes- sionals are in town. Among the number are Eddie C. Bald, Tom Cooper, Arthur Gardiner, Major Taylor, the colored won- der; Floyd MacFarland, Orlando Stevens, Earle Kiser, H. B. Freeman, Owen Kimble, Jay Eaton, Dr. A. I. Brown, W. Fred Sims, W. &. Becker, Harry Taylor, Eddie Walsh, Billie Sims, Otto Maya and several others. At the meet tomorrow, the initial meet of the new organization, none of the old officials of the local division of the League of American Wheelmen of this division will officiate. Walt. Wilson will act as referce, while A. G. Batchelder will perform the handicapping, being assisted by William Jose, who was formerly handicapper for the District. The other officials of the meet will be salected from well-known wheelmen of the city, who are willing to aid the movement at the risk of being sus- pended from any league track in the fu- ture. The new organization has received the support of a number of tracks in ‘the coun- try, particularly in the east and in New England. Comparatively little riding can be done up north the balance of the year, ‘ as the weather is almost too cold. Berkel>y oval and the Manhattan Beach track are two courses that have been secured, while Madison Square Garden will be used this winter for indoor events. In Connecticut the Pleasure Beach track at Bridgeport and the track of the Springfield club are offered. The famous Charles River track at Boston will join the movement, assur ances to this effect being received. The Culver Park at Rochester, the Ath- letic Field at Buffalo and on or two other tracks in New York state are in line, The Willow Groye and Woodside Park tracks at Philadelphia are counted in. The Col- osseum track at Baltimore is expected to join. No attention has as yet been paid to tracks further south, The Chester Park track at Cincinnati, the Athletic Park at St. Louis, managed by Tim Hurst, and the Sportsmen's Park in the same city are also with the professional riders, Shutes’ Park at Denver, Col, and a number of other tracks in the west can be counted on. In California, the home of the secession move- ment a year ago, there is scarcely a track that remains under the control of the league and all of these tracks will be used. possible, a circuit will be arranged on of the tracks of the land of sunshine and flowers which will extend until late in the season.

From the Boston Transcript The bicyclists of the City of Mexico are very much exercised over a municipal or+ @inance which excludes them from certain streets between the hours of 5 and 7 in the afternoon. They say that they pay thelr full share of taxes, and these taxes are used, or @ portion of them, for the purp of keeping the streets in repair; the they are entitled to ride on any and a streets. On the other hand, however, it ia held that the right of the municipal auth ities to regulate and restrict bicycle tr in the interest of the public at larg not be questioned, as far as rm fig can n and precedent are concerned. Says cha “The problem to be met was peculiar. Cor gestion had to be relieved, but it could be relieved by restricting the passa one class of traffic. That being the there could be no hesitation as to the that should yield. To exclude carria and horsemen from this thoroughfare would affect a much wider class and work a much greater hardship. It was clear that the bicycle must be ruled out. I do‘not see that the injury is very great. There are parelie! side streets whien the wheel*nan can use, and in which, owing to thelr frec+ Gom from other vehicles, he can make much faster progress. And the exclusion ts only for two hours.” This matter is of 3" terest elsewhere than in Mexico, for it is jo enapennd that something will sooner or later in all our we to be cities
