PLAUDITS FOR KOPF [Oincinnati Post and Enquirer Have Pleasant Things To Say About Short- ! stop on Matthewson’s Team. _The Cincinnati papers have been n saying nice things about “Bill” . 8o recently. Th spurt the Redlegs ‘exhibited a week or so ago was at- | tributed mainly to the excellent work " of the local boy in the short field po- pition. This is what the Cincinnati Post says of “Larry,” as he is familiarly known in the Pork town. “Kopf has been an inspiration to his mates. They can’t help folllowing his lead in becoming confident in themselves, for the have scen what the old confidence has done to him. “Larry isn't fresh. He's just full of pep. He does no bragging about his playing, but just goes out there at short every day and sets a dizzy pace. “When Kopf arrived the whole club did, and that's all there is to the sud- den reversal of form b Matty’s men.” & The Cincinnati Enquirer is quoted ns follows: “Bill Kopf played the ' worst shortstopping game in the big | leagues up to the time the Reds began " their big driVe ¥nd then he played the best. His improvement, almost magi- eal in Its completeness, seemed to earry. the club right along with him. His confidence restored, nothing could stop him.

In the first game the Yanks batted Bagby out of the box and finished by the decisive score of 8§ to The second session consisted entirely of home runs, the Indians getting the odd homer and winning by 2 to 1. Ray Fisher, who worked in the opening game for the Yankees, had the Cleveland Indians ready to hit the pipe of peace all through the session. In addition to pitching a beautiful game the precocious pedagogue got himself a couple of hits. One of these was a home run which alighted in the left-field bleachers. Ray Caldwell was again the victim of tough luck in the second contest. Nothing but home runs seemed to count here. Elmer Smith and Graney connected for a pair of these for the Indians.

Macomber, who has spent more money than any other turfman In the past few years, was amply rewarded this afternoon when his red and white stripes flashed first past the judges in three of the six events on the card. The ounding Mr. Ma- comber's were crowded thickest when imported filly Sunbonnet 124 pounds and galloped home in front in the Alabama stakes. Rated along by Loftus, who. by the way, rode every one of the Macomber horses to victory, Sunbonnet was in fourth place for half of the mile and a quarter. Gifford A. Fairy Wand was setting the pace, two lengths in front of C(‘olumbine, and Julialeon was in. third place as they raced along the back stretch. As soon as Loftus called on the daughter of Sunstar for an exhibition of her real speed, the race was over. She shot by Fairy Wand as though the latter were anchored. James Butler's Wistful was making a deter- mined effort to overcome the ground laurels su his superb carried Cochran's lost by a slow beginning, but though | she closed stoutly, she never chance to get on even terms Sunbonnet. The Macomber successes started with the opening event in which sev- enteen maiden two-vear-olds went to the post. Loftus' had to carry three and a half pounds over to ride Walnut Hall, which was coupled with Ver- dant, both these youngsters are by the English sire, Sunflower Second, and it looked in the early part of the race as though Loftus was laying back so that Verdant should win. J. O. Talbott’s Icarus was making so much trouble in the stretch for Verdant, that Loftus began to ride Walnut Hal in earnest and he ran over the others to win by a length, Verdant making it good measure by had a with taking third place a length and a half behind Icarus. After Sunbonnet had shown her quality in the Alabama stakes, Mr. Macomber sent the old Peep o' Day gelding Hank o’ Day to the post for the Sagamore handicap at a mile. In spite of the fact that he carried top weight of 126 pounds Hank o' Day was made favorite. It took one of Loftus' best riders to land him a winner as he was in tight quarters in the back stretch. Getting clear of the interference Hank o' Day was further favored by the banging about of J. E. Widener's Chiclet, his chief contender. When Chiclet found an opening on the rail Hank o’ Day had victory in sight and with Loftus push- ing him to the limit he won by half a length. \ICEMAKING MACHINES ADD TO THE COMFORT OF MEN IN CAMP Sammy- may like to sing ‘“There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To- night,” but in weather such as most bg&!’}:nunh—y has been suffering from. pecently he much prefers a cool time. .
