He is not dodging any- thing that goes his way. Cincinnati has a mame of Dodge. Myers, the Braves' tall first has the best base stealing percentage of any big leaguer. For a man who does not hit well enough to Eet on often his base thieving is as- tounding. Tesreau didn't figure very extensive- | as a winning factor in tlie succe western trip of the Giants.

The New London management declared recently that Briggs would never be allowed % play in this circuit. The Cleveland players are inclined to think that Plank and Bender will e in before long and that the Ath- 1e will .come back as fast as they went ahiead. When theres' nothing else to grasp at straws have to serve. New London is looking for an out- ficlder, and Second B an Johnson, the 15 vear old plaver who has been looking after second base, will be “Aenched and used as utility man as #oon as the right player is found. « ke is quoted as saying t i do no harm to have a nager talk from the bench provided rer plavers kept still.

Ferry of Pittsfield talked 1 Joseph Whalen, owner of the Hol- loke baseball team fhis week about transferring the Holyoke club to North Adams. There is but little likelihood that this change will be made, as sey- eral Connecticut cities are favored if the shift is made from Holyoke. 1t looks as if the back door of base- ball has opened for Dummy Taylor, the former New Yoric Giant star. He has been uncomditionally released by the Topeka club of the Western league. }e has announced his intention of go-, ing to nis home in Baldwin, Kan., and settling down upon a #mall farm Fred Clarke probably experiences pangs regret when he notes the rema work of Tommy Leach with the Chicago Cubs. Hoffman and Cole, mecured by the Pirates in the deal by which Leach and Lelfield went to the Cubs, have passed to the minors. leifleid is still active, but it is Leach who has emphasized the - fact that Clarke made a poor bargain. Leach is playing a wonderful game for the Cubs, The national amateur motorcycle championships o fthe United States will be run at Denver, Col., the 23d to the 26th. The Bosch Magneto com- pany of New York has for the third consecutive year offered a masgnificent silver trophy, which is known as the Bosch trophy, and will be presented to the rider who accomplishes the most consistent performance in the amateur championship races run during the meet. The presenting of this trophy each year has brought about a new title in the national federation rules, so that the winner this year will be officially recognized throughout the country as the amateur champion of America, and will be in a_position to defend his title against all comers, if necessary.

Joe Russell, the featherweight champion, was battling it Herb McCoy. Russell was hav- ing wil the better of the engagement when suddenly, while the men were breaking away, Russell dropped his hands to step back and McCoy swung over the haymaker to the jaw, knock- ing the champion cold. No sooner the referee rendered his verdict than the Russell partisans clambered Into the ring and demand- ed that McCoy be disquali for foul- ing—for hitting in the breakaway.

Cleveland, July 11.—The first Grand | Circuit meeting of the year came to a close at North Randall track today, with four trotting events that brought out a fine quality of sport. As was the case yesterday, outsiders shared honors with the favorites. The Tavern “steak” conceded to Dago F., because of his form in the prelimin- | aries on Monday, was won by Eulabel, | an outsider. The 2.09 trot went to ing even for place, although Eve Cord, | driven by Geers, was expected to win | it with ease. It was in the last two events of the; day that the favorites managed to break even. The championship trot- ting sweepstakes weat to Anvil, a heavy favorite, because he trotted the| two fastest miles of the year. The | veteran driver, Ed Geers, p#shed Anvil around the oval in the remarkable fast time of 204 1-4 in the first heat, and | came right back in the next and con- | cluding heat with a mark of 2.04 3-4. In the last event, the 2.19 trot, Star | Winter, the first choice in the betting, had litile difficulty in performing up to the form expected of him HOSPITAL MEETS THE SACHEMS.

The contest was sailed on Gravesend bay off the Marine and Field club. Sachems vs. T. A. B, Much ocal interest is being shown by the fans in the outcome of the game to be played on the Falls diamond Sunday afternoon between the Sach- ems and St. Mary’s T. A. and B. team.

Big Force of Workmen Start on 40, 000,000 Cubic Yard Excavation. The work of excavating at Yale field for the great coliseum has begun in earnest though unheraided. Fully 100 men and 20 carts are at work there all day long now taking off the top loam from the vast amphitheater to be and although little impression has been made as yet it is astonishing to think that by December 1 the work of excavating is to be done, according to the contract taken by the Sperry Engineering company, and in order to have that work completed, it is esti- mated that about 40,000,000 yards of earth will have to be moved. The excavation must be made | twenty-five feet deep all over the area of not alone the plaving field but of the concrete structure as well and the outside of this huge excavation when done will be three-quarters of a mile around. The work is of so colossal a character that special equipment of an elaborate sort will have to be pro- vided for digging and removing and when operations get on deeper it will like like a miniature canal job. The coliseum will seat 60,000 and have plenty of room for 7,000 to stand while it will be a simpla matter to add te the seating capacity up to 100,000 if necessary. cubie | $150,000 Policy on Racehorse. August Belmont, chairman of the | Jockey Club, who is now in Europe, shfl.s Jjust insured his good horse Trac- ery for $150,000. He was moved to take this step af- ter the outrage in the race for the Ascot Gold Cup in England a few days ago, when a man, following the ex- ample of the suffragette who marred the running of the Derby, threw him- self at Tracery and sent the horse { crashing to the track when he was leading and seemed to have the rich prize at his mercy. Tracery won the St. Leger last year, one of the classics of the English turf, and is ranked among the great horses abroad. Taking out insurance for $150,000 shows how highly Mr. Belmont values the son of Rock Sand. 'The Greeneville Bluebirds chgllenge any playground team or any local team under 14 years of age.
