Diderot, Mies Rowena, Flora Pomona, St. Simonian and Expedient all went to the post well backed and fafled utterly to up- hold the confidence reposed in them. No fault could be found with the attendance, which was quite up to the average, and he -betting was lively. Racing began with a sprint over the Futurity - ‘course, which was captured easily by Parsifal, a ¢% to 1 chance, rid- den by Dominick. Diderot, the 7 to 10 cholce, ‘was weakly handled by Ruiz, fin- ishing second, six lengths before Marcy. Mounce, who seems to have fallen into a s groove, made a poor showing with tin Coat. With. the talent divided as to whether Miss' Rowena or Doublet would win the five and a half furlong run, second on the card, Tame Irishman went out and did the act. The gueerly named Celtic horse had a world of speed and, outfooting Doublet, earned the decision by a length.

Autumn, on account of recent performances, was considered the outsider, but showed ‘up in this engage ment as a stanch warrior of the track. Henry had the mount and at the start he took Autumn out to the front. The humping for the first eighth mile was ex- ecrable, all but Autumn figuring.

V. Rams- dell and Kenneth Melrose for a special match between James and William Cart- wright, the winner of the handball tour- nament recently held in the club. Last night James defeated Cartwright, and, as he won a game last Sunday, the trophy became his property. The victory was only achieved after the hardest kind of playing. Cartwright is a tall young fellow and possesses the strength of two average men. James, on the other hand, is small but stockily bullt. When they met last night it was a battle roval. James took the first game and Cartwright evened maters by winning the second. Cartwright took the lead and scored 16 points to James' 7. Then James pulled himself together, overcame the big lead and won out. The score was James’ 21—18—21 to Cartwright's 19—21—19, The soft ball tournament then opened, and Powers (40) defeated Clough (40) by a score of 40—8. Bogan (45) then defeated Hoftman (45) in a masterly fashion. He rolled up a score of 40 to Hoffman's 11. Powers and Bogan will now piay for first place in their class. They are sched: uled to meet to-morrow evening. To gain first place in the tournament the contest- ants must win two of three games. There being three men left in the second class a drawing was held and Levy se- cured the bye. ~Johnson (scratch) and McLeod (scratch) are to play to-morrow night.

Prizes were awarded (o those who wore the mcst handsome cos- tumes and best sustalied the characte represented by them.

That the men were not idle is evidenced by the preparations they made. Messrs. Louis Rapp, Alfred Furth, Fred Miller. George Mass and Ernest Fleischer felt certain they would carry off the prize. They expended $40 in buying costumes. They are all powerfully built men and each believes himself to be patterned after the mold of the Apollo Belvedere. They therefore presented a tableau in which they appeared as Grecian gladiators. Their heaving muscles stood out in beauti- ful relief and were acccntuated by the re- fulgent ravs of a calcium handled by an expert. But they did not win.

A rule Wi passed which panalizes one ball | against the pitcher if he fail to deliver the ball to the batsman within twenty se | onds after the latter- has taken his posi- tion. A rule was passed empowering the um- glrc to remove from the game, and if need | be from the grounds, any player guilty of using Improper ianguage to another player, captain, manager or spectator. | Written proof of the' offense must be | submitted to the president of the league | within twenty-four nours and he may, it | the proof be sufficient, suspend the of- | fender from play. | A batsman may not henceforth take his | bage if hit by a pitched ball, but the ball will count as a ball against the pitcher. Article 54 of the constitutien was amended to read that the board of direc- | tors shall have the power of inflicting | penalties in cases of forfeited games. | In case of a forfeited game the,board | shall convene within a week and hear evidence. It shall decide what penalty to impose on the club offending. At the evening session the magnates | summoned President Charles Power and W. H. Matkins of the American Associa- tion. The American Association men prac- tically ylelded up the ghost early in the afternoon. Before night most of the mem- bers had left for home. No official an- nouncement was made, but predictions were made by many men posted on such affalrs that the American Assoclation would not begin the season. President Young to-day announced that the league had granted all the players' demands. The players have agreed to sign league contracts under pain of sus- pension. The susfienulon, however, is only operative until the players’ organization can meet as a body and act on the mat- ter. As a matter of fact, the agreement signed by President Zimmer amounts to | nothing more than an expression of good will toward the National League as against Ben Johnson's organization. hether the plavers ratify Zimmer's agreement or nat the concessions made by the league will hold good, A Good Sleep. _ Nothing adds more to vigor of body and cheerfulness of mind, or aids so well in chasing away the lines ofworry and care from the weary brow, as good, sound, re- freshing sleep.
