We don't pretend to know just which was the beat of the many great Rorses Rowe has trained, but we will make a guess that it was Colin, the bea’ aun of Commando. A good ree is one for which no excuses) Must be made, and none ever had to! made for Colin, Off in front or| ind, cut off, carried wide or pock- @ted, the finish always found Colin Redding along in front. * We hope Regret will prove as good horse as Colin was. Judging by her y performance, ehe is likely to be the queen of the three-year-old division this season, Anyhow, ahe has proved she hus the number of Jamer Butler's Pebbles. EBBLES last year was almoat a champion until he met Regret, In that first meeting Pebbles got a bad break—in fact, was almost left. Me overcame this handicap in mar- Vellous fashion and, although Regret wor, Pebbles seomed to be running over her at the end. This left a doubt of Regret’s superiority, which wasn't removed until they met aguin, time Pebbles was away badly again, ut Regret bad none the better of the luck, She was in «a jam throughout until the stretch was reached, but then she came on and an like a champion, while Pebbles trailed. IMMY CLABBY and George Chip étart a middleweight elimination contest Wednesday night, which will result in the appearan of the great and only Mike Gibbons in a local arena. In Clabby and Chip the fame will seo the direct opposite in po aly Chip is the strong, husky type of puncher who depends more on bis wallop than on any scientitic movements. Clabby is of the ‘clever variety, with all the tricks of the trade at his glove tips and a punch that gets its power more from the eclentific method of its delivery rather than from the strength of his arms. Thoy are likely to furnish an interesting fistic argument and inel- dentally furnish an opponent for the wisard Gibbons. and woolly after to-day's T game and they take with them be est wishes of the local fans.

Red Sox jeft handers by the Yanks there is a nice little story pf double-crossing, in which Bill Carrigan realises that he has been worsted and that Bill Donovan has something elwe to crown his houldere except a mere knob on which to hang a hat. Knowing the reputed weakness of Donovan's team against southpaws, and being of the opinion that the Yanks had no loft hander with whom they could practise, Carrigan opened his present series with a policy of port flingers first, last and all the time, His surprive can be imagined when one after another of these loft handers were Knocked out of the box, giving the Yanks two victories and a very close score in the only Kame lost out of five, It appears that Donovan knew that Carrigan would figure Ubat way, and tuat is why for # he had Scout Joe Koiley a the woods for a left hander of bis own, At the last minute the Yanks succesde! iv buying Cottrell from the Braves, “But Cottrell hasn't pied ye you may If you think so there is another big gueas coming. Since joining the Yanks Cottrell has done more pitching to the square inch than any two men on the club.

To send the winners to the Coast would n act of appreciation on part of the Eastern college. For four years California has sent a crew to the Poughkeepsie regatta and announcement was made yesterday that Leland Standford will be here this year, It is a general feeling among oarsmen in the East that at least one of the winning crews should be sent West. There would be some excuse for not sending the winner at Poughkeepsie if only for fnanciul reasons, but either Harvard or Yale could provide funds enough to finance the trip to the West, Hope of sending the crews has not yet been aban- doned, It is belteved by many that the officials of the exposition may be induced to subscribe part of the expenses of sending at least one Eastern college crew to California, said Carrigan plain horseshoe tuck,” \t. birds simply “Those There should be no occasion | complaint this time ut the thodox Monday crowd thi | gare a ra do tho premiere of a show to. | Gay there will be whoop with every play, and the regulars can keep aquiet| OF not, just as they please, Col, Ruppert and Cay have sent 7.000 Invitat of the fleet now in for al ore watches Huston | te the rs, ber present will be 7,000, The entire upper part of the grand the num- ‘News of Sports Told in Shorts @ BUNCH OF ASSISTANT ™ England May Golfer in Open Tourney pant tala Vardon and Ray Have Already Abandoned Trip and Braid and Duncan Also Likely Md Withdraw Because of Lusi-! i" tania Disaster.
