Tribesmen Cling to Slender Lead — Wind-Up of State Fair Harness Races
BUSHMEN DROP ANOTHER; BUT SAINTS ALSO FLOP Fitz Proves Easy for Toledo and Hens Win Thursday 10 to 7 —Whelan Shines for Losers, By Timet Special TOLEDO, Sept. 5. —Fourth battle of the Indian-Hen series today and Ownie Bush’s Hoosiers were worked up to a high pitch as they prepared to get out of their slump. They lost to the Hens again Thursday, 10 to 7, but retained the league lead when Milwaukee jumped on St. Paul and won, 18 to 4. It certainlv was a “break’’ for the Bushmen.
The Indians hung to the top perch this morning by a margin of three points and they expressed thanks to the Brewers for caving in the Saints. If the Saints win this afternoon and Indianapolis loses, down go the to second place. Colonels Dangerous Louisville, third place club, added some points Thursday by trimming the Senators at Columbus. The Colonels continue to think well of their chances and they have stepped out and purchased anew first sacker to take the place of Covington, who has not been hitting. Hawks of Nashville will Join Louisville Monday. Fred Fitzsimmons was strong In the early innings Thursday, but blew up later. In the seventh inning the Hens walloped Fitz's offerings for five runs and the locals eventually boosted their total to ten. Eller relieved Fitz and ,was found for two runs. Tribe Gets 15 Hits Any kind of good pitching would have put the Tribe over because they banged out fifteen hits for seven runs. It was a case of Manager Bush making a wrong guess on {lingers. The Hens got fourteen safeties. Tom Whelan, subbing for Ray Schmandt at first base, was the star of the defeated Tribesmen, the utility man collecting two doubles and two singles. - Old Jack Scott hurled for the Hens and he was lucky to win. He weakened in the eighth and ninth, but the big lead obtained by the Hens allowed him to ease through.

2:05 PACE BRINGS OUT < TWO OF BEST WIGGLERS Predict Fastest Mile of Week When Bessie McKlyo and Hal Mahone Meet —La Paloma Cops Thursday, The last day of racing at the State'Fair was not the least by any means. The closing program today looked like as good a card as has been presented all week. The feature Governor’s Stake for 2:05 pacers was to bring together Bessie McKlyo, 2:oiyr>, and Hal Mahone, 2 :01, two of the most consistent stake pacers of the season.
Bessie McKlyo, the fast little mare, has been a winner on the Grand Circuit this year, while Hajr Mahone is well known as among the best of the wigglers. It was predicted among horsemen that the fastest mile of the week might result in this race. Other events on the program promised high-class sport. The $2,000 Kurtze Amusement Company Stake for 2:11 pacers brought out a good field. The 2:09 trot also brought out entries of the highest class. Huge Crowd Out Thursday’s card, witnessed by a great throng, furnished some real thrills for the spectators, with close finishes and fine stretch drives causing much enthusiasm among the fans In the packed stands. The favorite, La Paloma, accounted for the Thursday feature, the 2:)8 pace, in straight heats. The buy mare, owned by Frank P. Fox ol this city and driven by Wolverton, di<p, everything that was asked of her. Ribbon Cane was the one La PalomS. had to beat. the first heat Ribbon Cane challenged in the stretch, but the locally owned entry withstood the drive and had plenty to spare. The second heat was easy and La Paloma led all the way. The third heat was a real thriller. Ribbon Cane raced down the stretch under a hard drive from Childs and might have got up in another stride. La Paloma had her nose in front however, as they passed the wire and made it three straight. It was a real stretch battle, the best of the week, and the big crowd went wild. Four Heats The 2:15 trot with twelve entries went four heats to decide the winner. An added starter. Arrow Rock, surprised by taking the first heat in another rush through the home lane. The brown gelding got up in the final strides to beat Sarah Thomas. It appeared as though Stokes, who was driving Sarah Thomas, failed to see the rush of the winner. Sarah Thomas won the second heat and Royal Harvester took the third. In the extra heat between-the three winners Royal Harvester looked the judges In the eye first by a head. The three went the entire distance almost abreast. Lightning Flash Best The Louisville filly. Lightning Flash, owned and driven by Clyde Lammlein, was easily the best in the 2-year-oid trot and took two straight heats to win.
