Frank Equals World's Record for 220 Yards in First Heat. New York, Aug. 6. Kramer in two out of three heats of a one-mile { match race at the Velodrome in New- ark yesterday afternoon before 10,- 000 fans. Kramer won the first heat and equalled the world's vecord of 11 2. seconds for the last eighth mile in doing it, but Spencer captured the second and third heats, winning eaca time from in front by the length of ' his/ front wheel. Spencer received a { great ovation for his victory and Kramer in defeat also got a big hand. Alfred Goullet won the handicap, riding from scratch, ani mlso took first place in the five-mile ppen. In both races he just nipped Reggie McNamara at the tape, and from the grandstand it looked as if both races could have heen decided pither way. 5 CUBS BUY NEW FIELDER. Chicago, Aug. 6.—Fred Mitchell, manager of the Chicago National league baseball team. returned from the East yesterday and announced that he had bought Barber, an out- fielder of the Baltimore club, Inter- national league, for $15,000 and two players. whose names he did not give.

Y., Aug. 6.—The Spa's first race week has attracted crowds of sportemen and society to the Springs, and as practically all the great thoroughbreds of the country are now quartered here the second week, of the meeting should furnish many exciting races. The return of Stromboli new Richmond in the fleld, determined manner in fought Capra in the Schuylerville Handicap on Friday would indicate that the gallant son of Fair Play is still to be reckoned with in any race in which he may start. Old Rosebud, Roamer, Boots and Borrow—all sea- soned veterans—will have him to beat if he stands the training necessary to keep him at the top of his form. The turf has never had at any time as many geldings of quality as those named above, and if Mr. Vosburg can bring them together in the Delaware Handicap at one mile, which will be the featuré of tomorrow’s card, he will earn the thanks of the public. The | admirers of Old Rosebud have not | ceased talking about the manner in { which the racer was ridden in the | Baratoga Handicap, when, instead of being permitted to wait in front, he was pulled double for more than half the journey. They maintain that their champion is at the top of the tree. Those who favor Roamer for | his wear and tear qualities, as well as | his speed, maintain that Rosebud never saw the time when he could | glve the san of Knight Errant ten| pounds and a beating, H The followers of Boots do not re- gard the Frontler Handicap at Wind- i sor as a true test of the qualities of Rosebud and the Macomber cham- | pion: they are waiting for a track to the liking of their favarite, when they confidently expect that the tables wiil be turned. In the meantime Borrow is not friendless. The world’s record of the great son of Hamburg and For- get, at one mile and a furlong, made less than two months ago. is proof that he has speed of superlative qual- ity, and, though he is nine years of age, he is far from through racing. The Finn and Other Factors, Then there The -Finn rapidly ng into top form to be con- cidered, as well as Capra, Old Koenig, Hank O'Day, Leochares, Hodge, Ormesdale, Chiclet and Bromo, all of which are fit as the proverbial fiddle, the Jast named having been recently : sald to Edward Trotter for $7,500. } The Alabama Stakes at one mile and places a and the which he a quarter on Wednesday will bring out the pick of the three-year-old fillies, and the fact that it has & guaranteed cash value of $5,000 is evidence of a desire on the part of the Saratoga management to foster. the breeding of thoroughbreds. The first of the handicaps for two- vear clds will be the Albany, of a zvaranteed cash value of $2,500, which is down for decision on Thurs- day. It will give the public a chance to note how Mr. Vosburgh regards the youngsters af the vear. Lusullite and Tracksend are among the nominations. Friday’s card will be made up of over- night events, with the Mechanicville Handicap at a mile for three-vear-alds and upward the feature. This race, which will close on Wednesday, should save a liberal entry, For Saturday there are three good ctake features—the North American Steeplechase at about two miles, the saratoga Special for two-vear-olds at six furlongs and the Champlain Han- dicap at one mile and a furlang for three-year-olds and upward. The first named will have the best of the tim- her topping division engaged, but the cpecial will be the bright particular attraction, as it is one of the sporting events of the vear. Owners name one | or more candidates at $500 each and the Saratoga Association adds a plate of the value of $1,000. The Special | has never failed to produce a good contest, and it has been won by such stars as Goldsmith, Irish Lad, Sysonby, Colin, Sir Martin, Novelty, Roamer, Regret and Campfire. ‘Chicago BASEBALL IN A NUTSHELL NATIONAL LEAGUE, Yesterday’s Results.

MARY'S BEATS COLT'S. New Britain Team Victorious at Hart- ford Saturday. The St. Mary's playground baseball team roundly trounced the Colt nine at Colt's part in Hartford on Saturday. The hardest worker of the afternoon | was not the pitcher nor the catcher, nor any plaver, or even the bat b but the offictal scorer. When his com- | putations were complete he had a total of 28 runs marked for the local boys and 27 hits and no less than 13 crrors were charged against the Colt team. It was lucky that the local sluggers got tired or they might have been hitting the ball yet. On the return home the St. Mary's boys met three local business men who on learning the outcome of the game, bought the boys enough for a big ““feed’” and a miniature banquet was held Saturday evening at the club- house to celebrate the end of a perfect day.

Fifteen thousand fans witnessed the game and incidentally felt great- Iy disappointed over the way those hard hitting boys from the East pounded Mitchell's curves. The Giant attack is the most pow- erful in the league. Their line-up is full of hard marksmen all the way down the line, and they have the supreme intelligence to bunch their hits for the production of runs, which is the real test of baseball smartness. They crowded nine hits in the tourth, fifth and sixth innings, in- cluding a double, two triples and a horffe run, all good for six tallies, which are what games are won with. The great Zim and Arthur Fletcher were the leading sluggers, but there were others, such as Benny Kauf, Holke and Dave Robertson, not 86 far in their wake. Even the ponder- ous Mr. Tesreau emitted a screeching three-bagger and toré around thé paths like an enraged diplodaccus, leaving a trail of perspiration along his route, just like a street sprinkler. ; No one on the big team is excused, ! from hitting. A person, even a pitche i er, who does not get a few swats once in a while, is promptly repudiated. Mr. Tesreau had a rather warm af: ternoon of it, but he stuck along and did not lose more than eight or niné | pounds during his two hours of ls- bor. The Reds binged him eight times in the first five innings and succeeded in scoring a single run ot a close decision at the plate. Unfors tunately base running spoiled a coupls of chances, when Heine Groh wak caught off first base, after singling in the first inning, and Tom Grifith wat hit by a batted ball in the fourth, re. tiring the side. As has been the casé in many recent games, the Reds did not get value received for their hit. ting, for the simple reason that they | did not get them close enough to- | gether. | Tesreau was very effective toward the end of the game. Thé big lead secured by the Giants made him a | sure winner and he had nothing to worry about in the later rounds. r. h e 000218100—7 13 1 Cincinnati 001000001—2 10 »2 Batteries: Tesreau and TRariden; Mitchell, Ring and Wingo. Cards and Dodgers Split. St. Louis, Mo., Augi 6.—Brooklyn divided two games with St. Louis by scores of 9 to 1 and 1 to 4 respec- tively. Pfeffer was a good pitcher in the first game apd the Robins. ham- mered Horstman, Ames and Muy hard, far and frequently, getting thir- teen hits for a total of 18 bases oft the three pitchers. Poor fielding bé- | hind the St. Louis twirlers mater- ially assisted the Dodgers in piling up their nine runs. -3 Packard had the champions eating out of his hand in the second game. only one Brooklynite, Johnston, reached base in thé first seven in- nings, and as he was erased on a double play.
