Mr. Belmont saw his pet run one of the most courageous races of his great career. Stramboli stuck his nose home a few inches ahead of James Buttler's noted filly Capra.

They beat the Yanks yesterday at the Polo Grounds by a score of 10 to 3, and did it in & manner which closely resembled an | unfriendly attitude. The kind of bat- ! ting the Jennings clan exhibited would soon have the Sox twins, White and ! Red, sitting up nights worrying if thei Three' Yankee picthers, Cullop. Shocker and Love, all felt the force of the Detroit bats. Of the 13 hits which !fell in a shower around the meadow, Ty Cobb had a homer, George Burns a | triple. a double and a single, and Os- car Vitt a triple. Tt is a little wonder that Fughey' Jennings danced all over the greensward in glee. Cobb 1nade the longest and the shortest hits of the gams. His homer was cultivated in the seventh after Vitt had tripled off Shocker. The rap went high and whistled its way to the left center fleld fence. Tyrus then per- formed a living denial that he is slow- ing up by skirting the bases just about as fast as Roamer traveled down the stretch at Saratoga. The score: Detroit New York Mitchell, Dauss and Yelle; Shocker, ‘Waltere. 302001202—10 13 . 000120000—3 7 Cullop, Love and Nunamaker 0 Scott in Kalsomine Role.

The acquisition of Demaree sig- nalizes the fact that McGraw feels need of additional pitching strength. Since George Smith was sent to Ro- chester and Jim Middletown shipped back to Louisville only six veteran flingers remain on hand. The addi- tion of Demaree or at least of a good consistent man was needed. 1 i MY HUSBAND MAR-R- VELOUS PLAYER HE DoES THE "W 15 A COURSE /AN te Yruow v JusT ADORE GOLF BuUT MY NOSE BeEcoMES A PERFECT FRIGHT OH LITTLE BoY -~ LITTLE Bo-wov !!

Muskogee, Okla., Aug. 4.—What is sald to be a world’s record for home runs in organized baseball was made here Thursday, by E. E. Calbert, left fielder of the local Western Associa- tion club, when he hit it twice for a circuit of the basses, giving him a total of thirty-fiveehome runs for the season. The previous record is said to have been held by Beese, formerly with Mc- Alester, in the same circuit, with thir- ty-four home runs. Calbert is one of the league leaders in batting. DEMAREE MAY BE ON HAND TO GET ANOTHER WORLD’S SERIES SPLIT| marks a rather peculiar turn in the administration of the Giants. Only a few times in recent vears has a player once turned loose been re- called. Charlie Herzog was bought jback from Boston and a second time returned to the Giants after his man- { agerlal escapade in Cincinnati. Red {Murray came back after having | been sent to the Cubs, but Red John {was not considered as a likely can- didate for a regular berth when he was signed up a second time. Demaree may now be entered in the list of lucky players. Al was on hand in 1913 to get a split in the world’s series money coming to the Giants. Later he split one big series purse with the Phillies. Now he will be tn line for another cut into the melon, provided the Giants win and Incidentally the return of Demares | the series is played next fall.
