Rex Bell, Owned by George Coroner, Takes the 2:30 Pace MacGlenn Takes the 2:15 Trot in Three Heats. KLKHART, Ind.. July Sweltering in the almost suffocating heat, a thousand race and baseball fans attended the program at the Blkhart Driving park, most of them barely reaching the business section of the city in advance of the slight rain storm which visited the city shortly after 5 o'clock. Rex Bell, owned by George Coroner of South Bend, won the 2:30 pace or trot in three straight heats, Pat Kelly, a horse from Cass county, Mich., taking second, and Victor Pointer, owned by A. J. Wood of Goshen, receiving the third place share of the $ 1 T 0 purse. The four horses entered in the 2:1." trot finished all three heats in exactly the same order. MacGlenn, owned by John Cotherman of Goshen, was first in each heat with the remaining places taken as follows: Diamond Mac, owned by A. J. Wood of Goshen, second; Royal Ex. H. Plumbeck, Laporto, third, and Bessie Gowen, William Cullen, fourth. The Colts won from the Riverviews in a spiritless contest with a score of 9 to 1. The score could hardly be said to indicate the merits of the two trams as the Riverviews held the Colts scoreless for the tirst live innings. A. R. Lee won the motorcycle race (5 mile handicap) in good style, the time being 11: IS, which was excellent considering the condition of the track. J. South worth, who had been given a handicap of 20 seconds, took second place with G. Bushnell third. Bushnell and Hess, another starter, went over the embankment at the west end of the track, Hess taking a bad spill, but both resurr4ed the race with the loss of but one lap.

The first run scored by the visitors came in the first inning when Milan walked and scored on poor throwing by Borton and Peckinpaugh. After this inning, the home team backed McConneli with sensational support. Washington filled the bases in the ninth inning, but Moeller died to Hartzell for the last out.

Larry Doyle figuring in three of them, which swelled "his record to 12 accepted chances. Kilpatrick batted for Rucker in the eighth, when the locals made a dying rally. Hall, a recruit, pitched the ninth inning and struck out the side in order. Stengel sprained his ankle running into second base and had to be attended by a surgeon.

With the games scheduled for Sat urday over half of the schedule of th Factory league wili have been completed. However, one day's srame remain unplayed owing to an enforced postponement of the games of June 21. A postponement is a rather expensive business for the factory eluhs a only three games are scheduled between each club and one or the other is sure to get a trifle the worst of it in homo dates. It is rather remarkable that two of the six clubs should show in the percentage column with perfect averages, the Singers without the loss of a game and the South 'Bend Chilled Plow Co. club without winning one. ne. irs clul t r or Where the Singer team appears have it on all of the rest of the in the league is in the matte pitchers. To date that team has play ed six games and Just six pitchers have taken part in the Singer club. It looks as if they are afraid to trot out a twirler more than once against any other club. At any rat they are getting away with it and several of the other clubs would be only too glad to emulate them if they only had the material. The Dodge and Ball Band clubs have made considerable changes since th opening game but they do not seem to get the results of them as do the Singer?. In the matter of talent, coming and ging, mostly going, the Watch Co. team appears to be suffering more than their share. They just seemed to get going good when Garten, tho ex-Central leaguer, left the city,Brown on the pick list and Brennan, the hardest hitter on the team, laid up with injuries. Manager Cassaday is very much discouraged because his club is unable to put a win over for the plowmakers. His boys have even fallen off badly In their hitting during th. last couple of games. It might l well for some of the clubs, who have, a wealth of pitching material, to loan the plow-makers a twirler if such a thing were possible in their by-laws. The Stlldeb:ikrrs !if(.r - ronple of games, appear to have, taken a new lease of life and are pretty much in the race. Rut all of their uphill fight will be of no avail unle.-s some club can hang a couple o? games on the Singers. PHILLIES TAKE TWO FROM BOSTON BRAVES PHILADELPHIA, July 3.
