In the first heat Peter Chenault, who took a record of 2:04 3-4 at Poughkeepsie last week outraced the field through the home stretch, yet only winning in a close finish” from Ridgemark in 2:08 3-4, Geers with Allie Ashbrook, caught the distance flag. It required a heat in 2:07 1-2 for M. L. J. to show in front at the wire in the second heat. Ridgemark and | Peter Chenault were near his sad- | dled girth in the order namdl In a terrific drive Ridgemark | shook off M. L. J. and Harrods Creek in 2:08 3-4 in the third heat. The fourth heat was won by Peter Che- | nault, Murphy gradually closed up a gap of day light winning from | Ridgemark, time, 2:08 1-4. Murphy ! had to do some remarkable driving ! in the fifth heat, in order to keep his trotter inside the money. It was: a stern chase, Peter Chenault mak- ing several attempts to break, he had ' the heat all but won, when he boiled over right at the wire, Ridgemark came on with a rush and won the | heat in 2:09 3-4. In the sixth.heat Murphy raced in behind Ridgemaric with Peter Chenault, he made a des- perative stretch drive, winning the sixth heat and race in 211 1-2 from Ridgemark who gave the handsome Chenault stallion, that cost $15,000 a Oregon Hal in the 2:09 race de- feated Abbe Bond in the first heat, the mare forcing the :Hal horse to pace the mile in 2:08 1-2.

Geers with Rob- ert Gattwood, a three-year-old, tried to outtrot Oregon Hal in the third heat, but failed to reach him, the Oregon Hal horse winning in 2:09 3-4, and repeated back in the fourth round, Abbe Bond making him step in 2:09 1-2 to head her to the wire. In the 2:10 trotting class, four horses faced the starter for the word.

One Chicago enthusiast placed an order reserving thirty-two box seats yesterday. These orders are being held up, however, until Chicago is certain of beating out Boston. There is a strong possibility that the series, if Chicago is the American league contender, will start in Chicago on Saturday, October 6, President Johnson said. Although the place for playing the first game is decided by the toss of a coin, President Johnson said the National league might waive this formality and agree to start the games in the west so a Sunday game could be played. ¥ 4 New York, Sept. 6.—Seats for the world’'s series ball games this season will not be reserved by mail but every ticket possible will be placed on public sale at’ the grounds, the New York National League club announced last night.

Dobie, whose success as a football coach at the University of Washing- ton was so notable, arrived at the Naval Academy yesterday and took full charge of the football squad. As yet, the squad consists of a hundred members of the new class, which has yielded some promising material. The candidates from the other two classes still in the Academy will re- turn from leave on September 19, a week before the regular opening of the Academy. Ernest H. Vonhelm- berg has been selected as captain. There is a wealth of good backfleld materials, and Dobie’s big problem is the picking of a strong line. i The management has succeeded fairly well in filling the schedule broken to pieces when the order came to stop sports, but games for the 20th and 27th of October are lacking. The game with West Point is also off officially, but there is a prospect of its being played on the New York Polo Grounds for the benefit of the Red Cross.

The visitors have had a most successful season, winning elev- en games and losing one. Saturday's game will probably be the last appearance of Howie Blinn in a Pioneer uniform for some time, the fleet-footcd ottfielder of the locals having been summoned for military duty in the new national army. For many years local fans have had the pleasure of watching the work of this' boy, and there is no player who ever donned a uniform that endeared him- self any more to Hardware city base- ball than Blinn. Always a good péay- er, he was a conscientious worker, giving the club and the fans the best that was in him, and there is no doubt that his final appearance will be marked by a heavy outpouring of his friends to watch him play. Several championships were decid- ed aj the playvgrounds yesterday af- ternoon! In the girls basketball gon- test, Captain Helen Lynch’s team won from Captain Helen Log’s team, score 10 to 8.
