SIWIMIIIIIII^ tirrin; the DOPE By VEDDER GARD (

The biggest feature of tlie S ate fair is the elephant art in front of the grand stand after • the Circuit races are over. * * * S*”— THORTY BIRCH was full of superlatives and pep as announcer. Everything was the “world’s greatest.” In announcing the elephants bhorty - yelled. "Take great pleasure in introducing the world’s greatest elephant act in the country.” Somebody asked him whether that included the cities also. Shorty also Introduced someGerman police dogs. Speaking of animals, we would like to hear Shorty put hippopotamus into the small end of his megaphone and scatter it to the four winds from the large opening. It ought to be worth the price of admission to the fair. We have a complimentary ticket. • • • The elephants played a game of baseball. One coaid tel! they were baseball players localise they all wore baseball caps and one choked a bat right in the middle. Looked something like Pittenger of Louisville—and the umpire chased him out of the park, too. Os course, they might not have been ball players. You even get fooled that way out at Washington Park sometimes. It takes more than a cap and bat and glpve. * * * Every one should go out to the Grand Circuit races today. An announcement was made Tuesday that there would bo "some REAL races tomorrow,” thus subtly Inferring that Tuesday’s card was not just what you nilVTht call veiy hot. Another faux pas by the man behind the voice. * * * f-rn RUNNING race is sort of c /jk Ia prologue each day to l/l the Grand Circuit card. On Tuesday it appeared to be a handicap affair. The starter gave Miss Pernell about a 100-foot start, but It wasn’t enough. Little Clair won the race with much to spare. The jockey couldn’t make it close even though he tried. Shamrock Flower was second and Miss Pemell was third. That’s because there were only three in the race. Ever see the races at the circus Just before the main performance closes and the "gentlemanly ushers pass among you” with tickets for the “concert” or wild west show? If you have, there’s no use of staying for the running race at the fairground track. No barrier— they just start running. Then the officials call ’em back if the get-away was not to the starter’s liking. Just what he likes Is a question. Imagine a lockey trying to stop a real race horse after he once got going. • • • At last "Daniel” Boone Is where he belongs — with the Kentucky Colonels. What could be more appropriate. But it WAS rather strange to see Mr. Boone pinchhitting for a real Indian, Joe Guyon, in the second Labor Day struggle. Doubtless the original Daniel Boone turned over in his grave. • • • Umpires get few words of praise. Let’s dish out a few to Johnson. The little fellow has a big way about him. He looks like the goods. He is on his toes and appears very conscientious in his work. He seems to have good judgment, and calls halls and strikes as though his eyes were not bothering him. • * • S NUMBER of Butler athletes made the acquaintance of “Wee Willie” McGill, the new trainer, Tuesday and more met him today. They are going to like that man. He has a about him. His smile is infectious and he’ll smooth over many little troubles that often grow into big ones. The freshmen will soon be bringing him their troubles. He Is the kind that will not be too busy to listen. Butler has a trainer that knows about physical ailments, but he doesn’t stop there. His genial spirit is an asset in itself the value of which is hard to estimate. K. of C.

RICH PACING STAKE FEATURES GRAND CIRCUIT RACE PROGRAM

INDIANS CAPTURE FAST^GO Snappy Baseball Produced in Senator Opener—Shannon Back in Line-up. The few fans who gathered at Washington Park Tuesday to view the series opener between Senators and Indians sat in on a rattling contest. The Tribe nosed out a victory, 2 to 1, with Jack Wisner holding the opposition to five hits. Southpaw Harris Hung the agate for the visitors and though the Bushmen collected nine hits off him, he was tight in the pinches and only one of the Tribe's runs was earned. The conflict was staged in one hour eighteen minutes and swell fielding plays were numerous. McCann, Connolly, Leibold and Rehg turned in fancy stunts in the field. Joe Wyatt, former Indian, blasted a long one In the ninth, but Matthews hustled back to the right centerfield fence and captured the drive for the game-ending out. Yoter scored in the second Inning for the first marker of the fracas. He went all the way to Second when Kirkham muffed his fly ball and scored on Shannon's single. In th? seventh Alnsmith singled, Holke sacrificed and Matthews singled, scoring Ainsmith. In the eighth Doljak, new Columbus third sacker, doubled, moved up on an out and scored when Yoter fumbled Hayworth’s roller. It was a slow rap and Doljak probably would have counted regardless of the error. It was the Senators’ lone tally of the day. Wisner pitched fast ball and airtight stuff and he ca\ight two visitors napping off first and Ainsmith nailed another. • The second of the series was on the bill this afternoon and Burwell was expected to hurl for the Indians. Old Man Slump seems to have struck the Brewers and Louisville ta grabbing itself a strong lead. The Colonels downed the Hens Tuesday while Milwaukee was losing to St. Paul. Maurice Shannon got back In the Tribe line-up Tuesday and accepted four chances. He favored his bad leg, but managed to fill the job at short without bother. He will play regularly if his underpinning continues to improve. Matthews was the leading sticker Tuesday with three hits.

Seven starters. Another high-class program was In prospect for the harness race funs / on the third day’s Grand Circuit program at> the State fairground track this afternoon. The feature was the 2:10 class pace for the Silver Flash Gas Company purse of $5,000. The big stake' race was -to bring together some of the classiest of the side-wheelers. Theodore Guy and Star Ruth, were two of the favorites. Other races today were the 2-year-old Bogalusa trot, 2:10 trot and 2:16 pace, t)ie latter two being late closing (events.

Fastest Mile #• Tuesday’s crowd was treated to the fastest mile of the season' on any track —trotted or paced—when Anna Bradford s Girl In an exhibition, accompanied by two runners, wiggled the mile in 1:59^4. Maybe it’s a good thing for Sir Roch that ho went to Detroit instead of coming to Indianapolis. The filly, in her present form, might have taken the measure of Sir Roch. The exhibition mile was staged after the free-for-all pace had been called off because of the absence of the Milwaukee r'tcer. The 1:5914 mile was ami rveloi > xhibition with Will Dickerson urging the game filly to her utmost. The pacer clipped M second off her o\ l mark. A Big “Hand” Dickerson and the sterling pacer were given one of the biggest “hands” ever accorded a reinsman and equine thoroughbred at the State fair. The time was the fastest yet made by the Harriman filly. She was clocked in 1:59% last week at Syracuse. Tommy Murphy, noted Syracuse horseman, piloted the winners in the first two events on Tuesday. In the 2:16 trot, Severin Hotel $2,000 purse, Murphy brought the gray gelding. Dr. Strongworthy, home the winner, after trailing the field in the first heat. The big gray easily accounted for the final two heats. The victor is from the Murphy Stables, Syracuse, N. Y. Hollyrood Jessie, from the Good Time Stable, Goshlen, N. Y., and driven by Cox, won the first heat when Dr. Strongworthy got away badly and went wide into the first turn. The Murphy gelding, however. proved the class of the field In the final two hents. He wheeled the final mile of the third heat In 1:01. The time for the fastest mile was 2:06^. Murphy Wins Two Murphy piloted his second winner when Highland Scott copped The Horseman Futurity for three-year-old pacers in two straight heats. The brown colt was too good and breezed home in easy style on each occasion after leading all the way. There were only three starters. The value of the race was $2,358.60. May* W. was easily the class in the 2:20 trot for half-mile track horses. The bay mare won three straight heats. She came from behind to win in the stretch from Al-, berta Jolla In the first heat, but had it more her own way in the final heats when Alberta Jolla was withdrawn. Lucille June won another straight heat victory in the two-year-old pacing stake for the Frank Fox purse of SI,OOO. The winner was driven by Childs and is owned by the Forest Park Stock Farm, Terre Haute, Ind. The filly was steady. When

Jpck Hendricks and McCarthy

Two of the teams now figuring in the hot pennant fight in the National League are managed by American Association gratis. Jack Hendricks, Cincy boss, has the lteds in second position, and Joe McCarthy, former Louisville pilot, has the Chicago Cubs fourth. Pittsburgh, running third, is managed by Bili McKechnie, former A. A. player. St. Louis, running first, is obtaining a stout lead, but there still is a chance left for an upset. The

Cards, however, are 8-to-5 favorites to win. Hendricks and McCarthy have done well with mediocre material and have earned their club owners much profit. TWO IN ONE DAY Mike Cvengros, left-handed midget of New Orleans, pulled the iron man stunt Aug. 21 at Nashville by defeating the Vols in both games of a double bill, 5 to 1 and 8 to 2.

ST. LOUIS ADDS TO M A RjG I N Cards Increase Lead by Victory Over Pirates as Reds Lose. Bit United Press , NEW YORK, Sept. B.—The St. Louis Cardinals were out in front of the National Leaghe pennant race by two full games today. By trouncing the demoralized Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday, 8 to 0, while the fourth-place**Chicago Cubs were beating Cincinnati, 8 to ,5, the Cards reached a point where, by winning all of their remaining six teen games, they take the pennant regardless of what the other teams do. The chief result of Tuesday’s play was the virtual elimination of the Champion Pirates as pennant contenders. They have twenty-one more games lo play, and the difficulty of overcoming the four and a half game lead of the Cards is obvfous. The task of the Reds, while diffi cult, is not impossible. They haVe twenty more games on. their schedule, including one with the Cardinals. If they make a clean sweep they can beat St. Louis if the Cards drop even one game. The Cards had a welcome rest today while Cincinnati met the Pi-

rates, in a double-header. Pittsburgh has lost nine out of twelve games. The New York Yankees appear to have the American League pennant sewed up again by virtue of their victory over Boston while the second-place Cleveland Indians were being beaten by the St. Louis Browns. The Yankees increased their lead over Cleveland to seven full games. " - ,i WINS AGAIN Coronach Repeats Epsom Derby Triumph.; Bu United Pret* DONCASTER. England, Sept.
