The 206 trot, wl originally had some of the fastest’horses in the Hght har- ness world entered, was called off be- cause of in ent starters. The feature of the day’s racing was the Michigan Railway company’s $2, 0 purse reged onthres heatlays- tem, and for _trottersiwhich neveriwon more than $2,000 nor had a race;rec- ord faster than:2.14 1-4. The winner of the race was the horse which the final summary showed had won the most money, and when the book keep- ing was completed it was found the honor had fallen to Lindsey, driven by Lon McDonald, with $600 to his credit. Brisac was sccond with $5650 and Grand Chimes third with $380. The best time for the race was 2.08 e Valentine uncovered two s0od pac- ers in Goldie C, and Miss Rejected.

There was little to choose in the general play of the two experts when the match is considered as a whole. Williams' winning advantage lay in his sérvice and superiority of placement. The sensational feature of the matches was the defaulting of R. L. Murray to Watson M. Washburn af- ter a hard four set match had been played. Murray was suffering frc a lack of sleep due to an all-niz vigil at the bedside of his wife, who is 11l of ptomaine poisoninz. He play- ed under protest, having offered to default earlfer in' the day. In the fifth set with the games two all and the score 30-love against him, he be- came so weak that Robert D. W former president of the ten clation, insisted that he stop nally consented after an examin by a physician showed that he was suffering from physical exhaustion and a temporary dilation of the heart. Later in the evening it was reported that he had fully recovered from the effects of the hard play in the heavy humid atmosphere which prevailed. EVERS SORRY FOR THURSDAY’S SQUABBLE.

Lawrence is particularly fortunate in having a man like Jack O'Hara take hold of the club up there as owner and manager. Ducky, as he is best known among ball plavers, has had long experience on the diamond, and good experience in recent years In the role of manager. He i3 ac- quainted with ball players all over the country, and if necessary, he knows where to go and how to go about get- ting players. It the Lawrence base- ball public will only come out and look him and his methods over, they cannot_help but warm up to a man like O'Hara and give him and his club the support that has been lacking all year, due to conditions outside of baseball. We look to see O'Hara male a real hit in Lawrence. New York, Aug. 4—Chicago turned Low 2 to 0.

GREATEST OF PLAYERS. Honus Wagner, Crack Batsman, Base Runner During His 20 Years in Big League. “Hans Wagner is the greatest ball player that ever lived,” is the asser- tion of Willlam Chase Temple, donor of the famous Temple cup, and one of tho best judges of ball players the zame has ever known. $ “For 40 years—since the National league began—-1 have seen every star that ever flashed in the baseball fir- mament,” added Mr. Temple. “There were many brilliant ones in the past there are scintillating performers to- day. But none can compare with the -erless Wagner. He is the super- ball player—the most wonderful of them all. ‘Some few players of past or pres- may have shaded Wagner in one or another department of the game, but none can compare with him in all-around ability. Wagner never was ranked among the graceful shortstops, but who can name a playver of the present—or the —who really outshone the amaz- Honus as a ground coverer? 1 Wagner may be clumsy and awkward in his_movements, yet today, at the ge of 42, he covers more ground than 90 per cent. of the short flelders in_the game. “Who led <he ps_in Honus Wag zled Honus. Pitted against such vals as the brainy Herzog, the fast Maranville, Bancroft (called the greatestt shortstop in the game by John Tener) and all the others, Wag- ner, then aged 41, outfielded each and cvery one. Wagner, old and gray, won the flelding championship in his divisicn! “Wagner ent National The league answer 1s and griz- the 19152 takes rank among__the greatest batsmen in history. When he hit 300 for 17 successive seasons he hung up a record that may en- dure for all time. And now, in his vear, a decadc beyond the end of average major leaguer's life agner is battling with the youns for the leadership of the leagues, Isn't that the absolute proof of his hitting prowess? “Wagner, in the history of his career, had few equals as a base run- ner. 'Big and awkward, it seemed like folly for to attempt ths theft of a bag—it looked like sure death. Yet, if vou peruse the baseball rec ords, you will find that Wasner's base stealing average, covering all of his 20 years as a big leaguer, shows something like 40 pilfers a season—a record superior to that turned in by 95 per cent. of the men who have plaved the game at one time or an- other during the last 40 yvears. “What can lllustrate better the marvelous base running skill of the ‘Grand Old Man of Baseball' than the 1915 records—the statistics which show that the veteran Wagner, with 2 stolen bases, ranked 12th in that lass; that Wagner stole only 14 less bases than Carey, the league cham- pion. “Wagner, in 20 years as a big leaguer, never ‘pulled’ a ‘bomer’: he never has made a mental foozle. Wagner never was press agented as being an exceptionally brainy player, but who is his superior in mentality? One hears much about the brainincss of Cobb, of Evers, of Collins and of the others. But each and every onme has at some time or another slipped a mental cable—made an error of the head. But Wagner's record as a thinker is unsmudged! “Wagner Is the most gentlemanly piayer the dimond game has pro- duced. He has caused the umpires less trouble than any other perform- er.
