By Bozeman Bulger. | ITH Rube Oldring already | wigned to a Yank contract, | Harry Hempstead hotfooting, {t to capture Slim Sallee and Wilbert Robinson and McGraw trying to outbid each other for the services of Charley Herzog, things appear to be picking up in a baseball way for our greater city. Rube Oldring, being a native son, saw the way things were going in and patriotism moved him to take a large share of Yank money and come to the rescue, He would have played yenterday, he says, but nothing could be done until he had interviewed the | the Oldring farm in New Jersey while the Rube was taking up arms against the Western invasion, “rll be in there to-morrow,” he nything that would be better for the future of my farm than for mi to help Bill Donovan win a pennant.” Oldring added that hoe always had wanted to play in New York, his In a slashing bout at the Arverne| home town, and that is the one thing that persuaded him to give up his idea of retiring. Harry Hempstead, though, is mov- ing heaven and earth to Slim Sallee, without the success that at- tended Capt. Huston's fishing for Oldring. it is likely that Ballee will join the Giants, but before he does you can go and bet that Schuyler Britton will gst a large slice of cur- rency. In addition to being fore on Sallee he knows that New York can pay and will, ‘The Herzog case is A queer one, There appears to be nothing particu- larly wrong with “Hersio except that Cincinnat! fans like Hal Chase, And Herzog wan apprised of that fact jong before he grabbed at the chance of taking Chase from the Federal League. Now that McGraw hae stuck Rchupp in at the start and the young left-hander has pulled his way to a victory, the team is equipped with at lest one more good pitcher. He allowed eleven Rite, it t@ true, but the hopeful part of Ferdinand's work was in the way he scattered them, Against Cleveland our Yanks did not show the championship grade of ball that haa given rise to so much hope hereabouts, Of course, that mav be merely a temporary slump, but the fans want to know why they didn't lump against some of the other clubs where it would not at- tract to much attention, | flagpole on the MAJOR LEAGUE RESULTS , Louie..06 44 468 Clacia'd, .02 46 410 7 20 669 N.

Bestea. No Empire Meet Complete Without Lightning Storm Two of Belmont’s Horses and One of Butler’s Killed in Stalls. By Vincent Treanor. IGHTNING does strike in the same place twice, despite the old belief that it doesn't. It visited the Yonkers race track yesterday in the same way {t did two years ago, when a couple of horses were killed outright and the great Roamer badly shocked, Yesterday, right after the opening event, the same kind of a thunder and lightning storm struck the track. The lightning snapped a lower end of the grandstand and the thunder claps put tho fear of God in everybody's heart. About the same time a bolt of Hghtning flashed into the Belmont and Butler stables, striking dead Cockleshell and Nancy Fair, two- year-olds belonging to the Chairman of the Jockey Club, and paralyzing Variety, @ three-year-old owned by Mr, Butler, Variety suffered such painful injuries that a bullet was ‘used to put him out of his misery, It eems as if no Empire meeting 1s complete without a terrific storm. Nancy Fatr, the Belmont filly, was scheduled to start tn the sixth race, ‘The rain, which converted a fast track into ankle deep mud fn ten minutes, upset all calculations of handicappers, caused a lot of scratch- ing which took most of the contention out of the races, and 1n a general way knocked form upside down, This was particularly true of the Tarry- town stake feature, when Fernrock, Sprint and Bonnie Tess were with- drawn. Nose finishes kept the crowd on Its tiptoes, despite the depressing weather, When Daddy's Choice seored in miraculous fashion after Billy Gibson, manager of Benny Leon: | ard, the local Hghtwelght, ts peeved over the announcement made by Harry Pol- lok that he would not give elther Leon- ard or Willie Ritchie the chance of meeting Freddie Welsh in @ twenty- round battle at Denver, Col, on Labor Day for the world’s lightweight cham- plonship tite. In @ letter just received from Gibson he accuses Pollok of delib- erately side-stepping Leonard because he Is satisfied that Leonard can take the title from Welsh, Billy alo states that Leonard eliminated himself from et | getting @ return match with Welsh when he decisively outpointed him tn their) ten-round bout in the Garden several months ago. Owing to the email ettendance at the Levinsty.

He cracked Daddy's Choice once with the whip and the Herz colt seemed to almost jump from beneath him in the last dozen strides, The final jump got Daddy's Choice’s nose in front. Hoffman, on Brother Jonathan, gave a faithful repetition of Mink's feat on Daddy's Choice in the last race, when he shot Maxey Hirsh’s imported two-year- old through a narrow space to win by an eyelash. If Mink didn't have a whip along Tootsie might have won a purse for Kimball Patterson in the last race. Inside the last eighth Tootsie had a ft necessary to pul the bat. In ap- | plying 4t the youngster left Tootasle o run on her own courage and she | just failed. Under a smooth nursing | hard ride such as Joe McCahey can | put up she might have lasted, Eddie Taplin'’s long suit seems to be riding over a distance. He furnished a fine exhibition on Woodward Wed- nesday and yesterday his patient handling of Sasin resulted in a well earned victory over the favorite, Sun God, Cy Slocum, Emil Hertz and Harry Fink from the West in turn ran up the colt from an_ entered selling price of $1,600 to $2,400, Emil Herz, owner of Short Grass, is putting over winners regularly Yesterday it was Devil Fish, who won from etart to finish, Devil Fish was entered to be sold for $800. Bob Mo- Keever raised this to $1,305, at which | figure Hera retained the colt. Malachite, Sun un God and Transit were three odds on choices whi failed to deliver the good olee and Hrother the only successful favorite of these had @ narrow squeak, Tho Lawrence Realization which will be revived during the fall meet- ing at Belmont Park will be over a route of a mile and @ half, Originally this three-year-old stake was at & mile and five-eighthe, but this year it was carded at a mile and a quarter, Lengthening this to a mile and a@ half for Friar Rock, which at this writing is the best three-year-old of the year over long routes, INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.
