Hartford, Sept. 7.—The brilllant victory of Thompson Dillon over its two-year-old opponents in the Nut- meg Purse and the breaking of the track record by Peter Manning, champion trotter of the world, were the features of the second day of Grand Circuit racing yesterday after- noon at Charter Oak Park. Raln stopped the races at the com- pletion of the two-year-old trot, leav- ing two of the events unfinished and another, the 2:06 trot, not started. Peter Manning's trip in 1:50% broke a record of eleven years' stand- iffg, Peter Uhlan's mark of 2:01% having been made in 1911. The mile turned in by Murphy's star trotter was consideréd remarkable because the horse had to face a heavy wind coming down the home stretch. Thompson Dillon was easily the class of the fleld in the two-year-old trot, drawing away from the rest in the stretch. Almaden Onward and Robert Direct furnished the large crowd with a couple of real finishes in the two heats contested in the 2:08 pace. Almaden Onward winning the first heat by a head and Robert Direct taking the second by about the same margin. Alta Quest won the only heat raced in the 2:14 trot when Wesley R., in the lead, went to a break and wag running passing under the wire, PRACTICE AT YALE Coach Jones Lines Up an Eleven at ‘Yale and Signals Are Run Through —Two Coaches Join. New Haven, Sept. 7.—Head Coach Tad Jones lined up a Yale eleven yesterday for signal practice. The players were Blalr and Lincoln at end; Hidden and Quale, tackles; Echart and Lutkin, guards; center, Landis; quarterback, O'Hearne; half- backs, Scott and Bench; fullback, Neale. This aggregation included only two of last fall's regulars, Landis and O'Hearne. Hidden and Quale were second string tackles. Eckart and Luf- kin were freshmen guards. Scott and Bench were tre 1925 halfbacks. Neale is an athlete from the Middle West. Punting today by Neale, O'Hearn, Mallory and Niellinger, under the di- rection of Coach Malcolm Aldrich, was excellent for an early season ef- fort. Heat again compelled the short- ening of the practice to an hour and a half yesterday afternoon. Morning ordered it will probably be confined to the backs. Two coaches and eleven players havejoined thesquad. Charllie Comer- ford, last year's end coach, arrived and took charge of the wing. Al Into, tackle last season, reached town and assisted Myron Fuller in developing the line men. Into played two years at Yale, and was at Maryland State University a year after he came here, completing his eligible intercoliegiate period. wood and Charlie Lorms met in' a|adelphia 4; bases on balls, off Hubbell 2,1 morning and afternoon best ball four-| some match here today at the Co- lumbus country club. Sarazen and Lorms, local golfer, were matched against Hagen and Kirkwood.

Suddenly a middle aged man in‘a Pi- rate uniform ran onto the diamond. He raced around center fleld for soaring flies—and he sprinted in close for whistling liners. He didn't cover as much ground as Max Carey does but he got under the ball just the same, There was careless grace in his movements and power in his arm. He came to bat and the lively pel- let whanged against the bleachers. Altrock fell in a faint. When he was ‘revived’ a fan shouted: “Who is the best outfielder in the world, Nick ?" “Fred Clarke,” was the comedian's reply. Acknowledge Ovation And Fred Clarke, leader of the Pi- rates, when they won league cham- pionships and world titles, acknowl- edged an ovation. Clarke, who lives in Kansas, has been visiting old haunts. He needed little urging to don the spangles after he dropped into the club house. ‘A major league ball player will work has not been ordered. When! LEAST - AET A dooD HAND I'LL SHoW 'EM HOw o PLAY THIS GAME never grow old if he sticks close to the diamond,” said the sun scorched veteran, “There's another sort of thrill in stenping into a leaping fast ball. Hon- estly, I felt a couple of years younger every time I got hold of that lively ball. Why, say, if we had had this pill when Honus the great was break- ing the fence and Ty Cobb was a kid—." Then Clarke was drafted to umpire and he had to go to work.
