By Bozeman Bul NCE more ie Charley Mullen granted a reprieve from that * request for waivers which bung over his head when the league au- thorities ordered the Yank roster cut down to legal limits. ° To get Charley away from Bill Donovan now, Ban Jobnson would have to blast. As a pinch hitter Charley again has proved bimself a peer, Single-handed he snatched that dying game from the Indians, put Cleveland further back in her hopes for the pennant and advanced the Yanks to a point where they almost have a bunch. It wee like this: With two out in the last half of the eighth, two runs needed to tle, and runners on firat and second, Pitcher bat a-shoulder, was on his way to the 4 oyster,” as Cy Sey- mour used to call the plate. But Fisher didn't get there. He was stopped short by Manager Wild Bill, despite the fact that Fisher had al. ready belped himself to a couple of blows. Mullen was called from the coop. Just two practice swings he took, and then—bang! It was a two-! amash that whistled over third and drilled all the way to the left field fence. Both runners ecored, and there we were with the old amo sewed up. Capt.

Anyway, Charley Mullen saved the old pastime, and in a later inning, aided and abetted by a runner being on second, Das Boone poked a slow hit into right and won it. Tt was all very sweet. the most exciting pastime that hi happened around these parts for a jong time. The Yanks had to win that ball Jame to avold being looked upon with hard glances.

HE layers don't give the players any “the best of it" on @ race track asa rule, but they did so unwittingly here yesterday afternoon in three different races. Level headed students of form profited, but the chalk players, who are guided by the fluctuations in prices, fell by the way- after the day's doings were over. Felicidad, for instance, was served up as a 9 to 6 chance in the opening event, When one remembers that this same two-year-old was an even , nol Just as good jorses as Campfire and Tumbler at Belmont Park in June, yesterday's 9 6 against him in one of the cheap- looked too good to Of course Felicidad has al- fopped in his previous races, but asa rule he stopped in front of stake horses. There was nothing of a near stake calibre among his op- ponents yesterday, so all the gelding had to do was to run them dizzy in the first three-eighths and breeze the rest of the way. Trainer Clancy was wise in his decision to run Feligidad in selling company instead of trying to beat stake fields as heretofore, He was where he belonged yesterday. The second instance wherein the layers erred was in quoting 3 to 1 against Capra, with Irma Frank al- most an equal choice with the Butler filly, Capra was meeting a compara- tively poor lot. The fact that in her previous race she shouldered 124 pounds and galloped home in front ata mile seemed forgotten in the rush to follow the wise coin on Irma Frank, Even money should have been the price against Capra. She led her field practically all the way and won easily, with Flying Fairy, the only other “class” horse, in th place position. Irma Frank, who ha beaten a cheap field last time out, was an outclassed third. An unreasonable play on Sortie, Basil_and Serenest in the fifth race left Sedan at the generous price of 11 to 5, whereas on what he had shown he should have been a 4 to 5 chance.
