Both Amateur and Professional. Racine is not dead in New York State. v*:i though the sport for this yfar will com*' to an end at Saratoga Springs on JBmrißli SL This statement is made on the authority of several men who are closely Identified with tho sport and who have worked hard and earnestly in an effort to kee:> 11 alive under trying conditions. The directors or "♦ various racing associa tions felt called upon lo cancel the fall vt< ... because of be directors' liability law. which makes them criminally respon sib! for any gambling on their premises. T"n.i«- the advice of counsel, it was con sidered best to have the courts interpret a messure ■ >-•.. ■ i- considered ambiguous before another meeting is held, *s no one cared to run the risk of indictment and possible punishment for an offence of which he, did not consider himself guilty While it is cause for r-'tiT-r-t that the meet ings cannot be conducted without betting at any kind, and arbjae horsemen and those interested in • m apart are gloomy and cer-iessed, I am not alone in the opinion that the future of racing: is not BO black as i-junted sad that the death knell has not been sounded. Schuyler L.. Parsons said to me at Saratoga on Friday that there was hope for the fuUire and that everything possible -would be done to clear up tht situation, so that meetings could be conducted next year without fpar of violating the statutes. It baa been pointed out in this column several time- that whereas a certain aniount of bttiin? i? necet=tary to the life of the ?po«t. it does not follow that the pamblir.p spirit is uppermost. l! Ip hr»" lisa taut, however, tor those who bo to the track to localize their interest, and this can be done only by buying a share, as to spetk. ir a certain horse for the moment. The enjoyment- of a running race, a lawn tennis aafttcfa o. a repatta la increased a hundredfold if interest is localized by the sppcarance • fa son. a brother or a cousin. Th«- anie is true In football or bacefcalU through the ability to root for on**s collejre or one's home city. s hen a Colin, a Fit? Herbert or some other great horse which has made turf history goes to the post, a crowd will turn out that can enjoy a '-ace wiiliout the Eibjn of a wager, but in pene.ai the rank and file of race goeis are not interested in any particular hor*e or any particular owner, in -which i.. it is necessary, for keener enjoyment, *o centre interest on some particular horse, •which car? b« done only by a small bet. There is no law against individual betting. ana public bookßaakb was stamped out three years at" The various racing asso ciations have worked hard to re-establish the epart rr.der new conditions, and wete doint fairly w- :; untii ihe paaaaax of the director* liability law, which is not thor oughly understood, cast another blight «m the spo»t. Interes: i;- the sport may be kept alive this fail hy I number of ooe-day amateur race meetings. Those will not take the placf of the regular meetfaca -with the so ca!led ""regulars." but they will serve their purpose and beep the way open, Ii is hard to forecast hi this wri'ine just -what such men as .'a*,tf-s R.

Wilson, jr.. and other big owners an<i breeders will do to protect their Intefiectf but it is safe to say That. wliil*> Rome horses may be shipped abroad, many will be k"pt in this country to await <iev*-lrt}>ments. Interest in the military race to be run at faratosa Springs on Saturday is arawtac fc;.ace. General l^eonard Wood has ex pressed Ms approval, and it is fust possi r!e that be may so up to Saratoga to see ihe race doriJed. ■'":,.■ horses, •■!•-■. en %»f r hich have l*en entered to date, will be ridden by officers in service uniform, and the- ke^n^st rivalry will exist between \arroup i>csis. as. jud.eing from the present ruilook Fort F-T?ia:i Allen.

Th< importance — on* inisht say ••' necessity — of the thoroughbred strain for the proper development of stamina ana good bone is generally conceded by those who have made a study of breeding; but, strange to say. full advantage up to this time has not be«n taken of the oppor tunities presented by •■ ' big thoroughbred nurseries throughout tbe country, many of which now may be abandoned because of the present blight <>n racing. Under the circumstances, the military race will come at just •' •' right time, and it is hope.l tl'at it w:!3 serve in stimulating greater In- U-rest in the thoroughbred horse among army men.

Running the best race of his career, Abel Kiviat, the phenominal young runner of the Irish-American Athletic Club. forced Mcl Sheppard. the world's greatest runner, to add another world's record to his long string yesterday when he breasted the tape a winner over Kiviat in the special nine hundred-yard race at the Cavan Men's games at Celtic Park by three yards, winning in the great time of 1.57 1-5. This time betters the figures of 2.01 2-3 made by Glarner. the Olympic Athletic Club half miler in 100 S. by 4 1-5 seconds. But for the excellent running of Kiviat. it is doubtful whether Sheppard would have succeeded in bettering the old mark by such a wide margin. By breaking; Glar ner's record yesterday Sheppard annexed the seventh world's record to hi? credit since be started on his wonderful record breaking performances six weeks aco. Only three athletes toed the mark for yesterday's special race. Besides Sheppard and Kiviat. the former Curtis High School athlete. Matt Geis, another of the Winced Fist contingent, started in the race the crack of the starter's gun. little Kiviat, whose running during the winter months was a sensation, shot from his mark, and with Mcl close- behind him set out at a terrific pace He carried Sheppard out at a rate which caused all the experts to marvel at his speed. g.» quickly M Kivist carry the pace to i is rivals that he was clocked for the quar ter in ,r4, r 4 1-5 seconds. At that time the Staten Islander was about a yard in front ot Shc-ppard. with Geis a poor third. As the athletes rounded into the second lap S'neppard made determined effort? to pass lis fast pacemaker, but to no avail. Kiviat led untii after the half mile poM was p«s?»-d He covered the half mile in I M 1-5. At this point Sheppard came along with his wonderful jump. letting out all of hi? reserve speed, the peerless runner swooped down the track, and as he ran into the homestretch he caught the flying leader. In the race for the tape he used his jump, and ■won from Kiviat by three yards. Matt Gels finished a poor third.

As always, this meeting in the final prelude to the na tional championship at Newport, and the <-ntry list this year is as full of promise as ever. .lust a week from to-day the play for the championship will begin on the hiFtori<" Casino courts at Newport, and speculation as to the outcome is already rife. The CatifornJan element that made so startling an invasion of the East last year is still in the ascendant, and it would surprise few followers of the game should Mauri. E. Mclaughlin and Beals C. Wright fight at Newport, as they did at 3-ongwood. for ri«ht to challenge that !i«-sto! of the courts, William A. Lamed. Lamed beat Mclaughlin at 1-ongwood, but only after a hard fight after th*- Westerner had defeated Wright without much appar ent dilliculty. Melville H. Long, who went to Australia with Mclaughlin and Wright !a«=t rear, i« on his way East, and stopped off at Omaha to win the first holding of the national clay court championship, Instituted last winter after a hard fight by the West erners. Ifaiilifll and Alexander, moreover. must defend the twin cups symbolical of th«» doubles championship against two more Californians Thomas C. Bond] and Trow bridge Hendrick Taking it by and large, the week just past was none too pleasant a one for the taseball enthusiasts of New York. Theo retically it i- still entirely possible for the Giants to win the National J.eague pennant But the fctual winning of it is not a natter of theory — it requires the performance of specific acts and the meet ing of a definite condition. The Chicago Cubs are a condition; the Giants met that condition last week, and the result, in a way, ftpr-aks for itself. The Giants, be it said, never played better baseball than in that series. Every man on the team seemed to rise to the emergency, and, keyed up to concert pitch, played wonder fully. But the Clibs. going about the mat ter with calm precision, accomplished re sults in the way of winning games that the Giants were unable to do. There was in the play of the Cubs none of that ner vous effort so plainly evident in that of the Giants. McGraw's men played in more spectacular fashion. Some of their indi vidual work was not equalled by the Cubs at any time, but the m&chlnelike regular ity, I!:* d<adly precision, was lacking. One might pick the series to pieces In an analytical way and be no nearer an exact explanation of the differences between the teat::'- It is enough to cay, however, that no one who pa» the four games will be un willing to concede the superiority of the Chicago nine. The crushing victory of the Giants in the last game was due simply to a smashing, overwhelming attack concen trated in one inning that was too swift to I* stayed. The ability to hit the ball as it \va.« bit that day will win a good many «am«-8. but the ability to make runs v i.en hits are scarce, by sacrifice hitting. by clever base running and by scientific play, won three pennants for the Cubs tind bids fair to win another. The Yankees are in different ease from the Giants. Le.«s is expected of them, for one reason. The teem is not trying to come back to a championship; it is a group of ■--•:- that i* being made Into ■ formi dable organization. There Is ■ possibility of first piece at the end of the race, but hardly a probability. But ?econd place, or even third, would satisfy most of the friends of the team, and either is well within reach of Stalling* and his men. The Cleveland t^riep was diflat t>oiiUit:g. for. after winning th* first two *ames, the New York team was beaten by belated rallies. Robert A. Gardner is no accidental golf champion. He proved that on Saturday. when he beat W. i. Travis In ■ thlrt:' fcevca-holc mutch. .HERBERT. NEW-YOHK daily IRIBUNJK, MONDAY, AUGUST S, 11)10, PHILIP G. CARTER, A GOLF PRODIGY. A REMARKABLE GOLFER Carter, 14 Years Old, a Prodigy — News of the Links. Although defeated in the decisive match at Bhtrmecodi on Saturday, Philip G. Car ter, the fourteen-year-old boy, has proved himself one of the most remarkable juve nile golfers ret developed in this country. He can scarcely fail to become a valuable addition to the metropolitan rank*, so sore ly In need of young blood. Carter's home is in New York City, though he is seldom there. He spends his summers at Bridgehampton and the rest of the time at school in West Newton, Mass. Only recently the youngster broke all records for th course at Bridgehampton, making each of the nine-hole rounds in 33 for an eighteen-hole total of 66. An idea of his endurance may be had when it is remembered that a short time ago he played ninety holes in a single day. He has excellent form and is good with all clubs excel'! the cleek, which be seldom uses. His record card was as follows: Out 4 3 4 4 4 3 4 1 3-33 In i 4 4 3 4 3 •> 3 3— 33— Even though the schedule indicates a comparative lull hereabouts for the next two weeks, metropolitan district golfers will not remain idle. Many have already entered for the first vice-president's cup tournament over the Links of the Ekwanok Country Club from Wednesday to Satur day. John M. Ward, winner of the Shin necbek tourriameTnt last week, will motor to Manchester in time to compete, and so will E. Mortimer Hani.-, of Englewood. Fred llerreshoff. the metropolitan cham pion, who is wellnlgh invincible at Ek wanok, also intends to take part. With the opening of the new eighteen-; hole course of the South Shore Field Club, at Bay Shore, members are displaying re newed interest. On Saturday next they will tak« part in the qualifying round in the August handicap. Silver loving cups have been offered as prizes and the golfers will play in several classes. K. Morton, professional at the Pelham Park Golf Club, struck an unusually low scoring vein the other day. when he reeled off a 35 for the long nine-hole course. This beat the best previous record, held by him self, by two strokes. The course covers a playing length of 3,282 yards. Horton bad 5. 4. 4, 4. 4. 4. 3, 4. 3-35. Par for the round is 38. Early Indications point to the coming open championship tournament of. the .Metropolitan Golf Association, at Deal, the latter part of this month, proving the best in the history of the organization. Many well known amateurs and "pros" have ar ranged to team up in the special four-ball competition on '.he first day. The two favorite pairs arc Oswald Kirkby and Jack Hobeiis of Englewood, and John M. Ward and H. H. Barker, of Garden City. PAR GOLF AT FAIR VIEW E. S. Moses Wins 18 -Hole Han dicap — G. A. Harris Second. E. S. Moses won the eighteen^hole golf handicap match on the links of the Fair view Country Club at Elmsford, yesterday, With a total of 88, which his hand cap of 11 reduced to a 77. He was only one better than G. A. Hani.-, whose 88 was even up with the score made by the winner, but which Buffered by bis handicap being only 10, bo thai his net was a 78. That the handicapping was well done for the golfers was attested by the fact that ii was a case of one, two, three for the leaders, as David Handler finished with a total of 85 for the coarse, while his handicap of '• strokes gave him a net 7! .

Cruising Yachts at Newport Pre sent Superb Picture. [By Telegraph to The Mil a.] I Newport, R. 1., Aug. 7.— With their "rain j bows" of cede fia«9 snapping in a fine southerly breeze that it seemed a pity to ! waste, the hundred or more steam, sail and power yachts at anchor in this harbor, representing the New York Yacht Club on the fourth day of its annual cruise, pre sented a beautiful picture. The yachts had i "dressed ship' at "colors" on signal from i their flagship! the Aloha. There was more : or less visiting all day between the owners I and guests of the various yachts, and I many shore parties went out in power I boats and catboats to view the great fleet. Among the recent arrivals are J. Pier pont Morgan's steamer Corsair, P. A. B. 1 Widerier's Josephine, C. K. G. Billings"s j Vanadis, John Jacob Aster's Noma, Henry Walter's Narada, J.

The finish will be off West j Chop, and the distance thirty-seven miles. i The prizes are the cups offered by Hear Commodore Dallas B. Pratt, two cups for schooners and two for sloops and yawls. The time allowances will be figured, as usual, from the rating measurements, it is estimated thai at least forty yachts will make the run to Vineyard Haven, and that as many steam and power boats will ac company the fleet. A feature of to-morrow's run will be the races for auxiliaries thai measure sixty five feet find over and for auxiliaries of lower rating:. Mrs. Arthur Curtlss James j offers the special prizes for this contest. (They are known as the Aloha Cups. These will take the place of the club prizes on this run, but the club will offer second and j third prizes if the required number of I yachts start In each division. BULL AND MARTIN DEFEATED Wyeth and Bryan Win Doubles on Edg-emere Tennis Courts. Fast lawn tennis, with unexpected re sults, brought the Edgeraere Club tourna ment to an end yesterday, S. Howard Vo shell. of the Borough Park Club, won the singles m straight sets, and the former Ohio state champions. »J. Lorraine Wyeth and Robert T. Bryan, defeated the Cres cent Athletic Club pair, Charles M. Bull jr., and Henry C. Martin, 7—:.. 6—2, 6-4. The defeat of Bull and Martin was partly due to the fact that they had re cently been playing on the slower tun courts and found the fast clay surface more than they could cope with. As a con sequence, their shots were badly timeu ivyeth and Roberts played steadily at all times. They turned all of the swift drives of the Crescent pair to high lobs and then came up to the net on the run and smashed the ball for .slashing passes alone the side alleys. b Voshell. in the singles. played a net game of unusual brilliancy. Baeaford a Mrmei ( ornel] player, could not check 'his advances, for Voshell covered court su perbly, and once he was at close range he sent the ball through for the points with unerring accuracy.

AUGUST BELMONT INVOLVED Minority Stockholders Sue Ma jority to Protect Their Financial Interests. ' [By T<>l»prraph to Th- Tribune. I Saratoga. N. V.. Auk. ".—The decision of the racing: authorities to close the gates* on the racecourses of the metropolitan dis- I trict has stirred up a regular hornets' nest of trouble. The directors of the Belmont Park track are forcing a fistht. and all be cause the maioritv stockholders have an nulled the fall race meeting without ask i ins the con?ent of the minority stockholders Cor permission to do so. The minority stoekboldera have brought j suit to compel th* owners of the majority ] of the stock in the Westchester Racing As sociation, the official name of the Betmoni E'ark track organization, to reopen tee track nnd to announce a f;»II meeting. j These minority shareholders claim that the I action of the majority has deprived them I of the means by which interest on their stock can be earned and paid and that said shares in the racing; association have been made worthless by this drastic action of the directors. They will ask the courts to relieve the ! situation by forcing the majority share holders of th« track to reopen the gates. thus giving them an opportunity to earn : dividends for their stock. The men behind this action are George i Wheelock, Edward Burke. Charles Heney nnd various other members of a turf as sociation which, years ago, when the Bel mont Park track was in course of con struction, purchased $50,000 worth of stock in the West, heater Racing , Association. When these shares were bought the in vestors thouKht that the ownership of the stock save then a lien or claim on the property— the land, buildings, and so forth. Hut, much to their surprise, these share- I holders were recently told that the stock purchased merely represented value in the receipts derived from the racing:, and that } the shares represented liens on the gran.l 1 Mand. field stand and stables-property which was valuable for racing purposes, '■ but of little or no worth with racing meet ings abandoned. The real title to the land, j which is extremely valuable, was taken j 1 ever in the name of August Belmont and : I many of his friend?. ! With only ornamental grandstands and ! stables as assets for the money value of | the stock, some of these minority stock- , holders are ready to fight for the preserva- . j tion of their shares. They claim that with- j I out racing there is not the slightest chance j to earn a dollar tor their stock and that i it will be worthless. Hence the appeal to . the courts to compel the directors and majority stockholders, men who hold title I to the land, to open the gates of the track ; for race meetings BATTLE FOR JOCKEY HONORS Shilling Likely to Supplant Gar ner at the Top. [By Telegraph to The Tribune.] Saratoga Springs. Aug. 7.— lt begins to look as if Guy Garner and Carroll shilling will have a battle royal for the honor of heading th.- list of winning jockeys for the season. Horsemen are of one mind that Shilling is the better rider of the two. but up to Saturday Garner had a clear lead of eight winning mounts, a handicap which Shilling may find it easier to overcome in the next three weeks now that Garner Is on the ground for five days. Shilling no doubt would be in the lead to-day ex cept for the fact that his license was held up for t .vo or three weeks at the opening of the season, and also because he has been suspended a number of times by the starter for disobedience at the post. Including the races run at Saratoga on Friday, Garner stood at the head of the list with seventy-two winning mounts to his credit, while Shilling was second with sixty-four and McGee third with fifty! E. Dugan had a fair chance to tight it out with the leaders, as he was well up, with thirty winning mounts, when his suspension came at Sheepshead Bay. a suspension which has now been lift by the stewards of the Jockey Club. He is now tied fyr fourth place with Jimmy Butwell, while Archibald with twenty-six. Glass with twenty-five and Vincent Powers with twenty-two follow in order. Now that C. I-. Harrison's Waldo has be wed a tendon and will not race this year, S. C. Hildreth's Dalmatian has few if any rivals for the three-year-old crown. Sweep is under suspicion, The Turk has failed to live up to his early promise, while Prince Imperial, a game, honest colt, cannot be ranked with the good son of Kthelbert on anything that has been seen this year. Woodford Clay's Ocean Bound beat Dalmatian easily in the Swift Stakes, at seven furlongs, on June 20. but few horsemen believe that she could repeat over a distance of ground, which is the true test and brings out all the qualities of a great horse. Mr. Harrison has the sympathy of all horsemen in Hie breaking down of Waldo, which was ranked as the i best of his sge in training a year ago. j In view of the fact that August Bel- ■ monts Footprint and Trap Rock and R. F. Carman's Sc-mprolus are not eligible for the Saratoga Special on Saturday, the sporting stakes of the year. K. T. Wilson, jr.'s, NauShon stands out a? the probable winner, with James R. Keene's Black friar and S. C. Hildreth's Novelty as the chief contenders. STATE LEAGUE MAY QUIT President Says Sunday Baseball Is the Issue. Utica, N. V.. Aug. 7.— "Unless Sunday baseball is permitted in the New York t^tatf League It is extremely doubtful that the league will continue after this season," said President John H. Farreli. following a meeting of league representatives in Baggs Hotel this afternoon. The meeting was tiled to consider the matter of agitation against Sunday games in the state and to consider the question of closing the present season earlier than scheduled and cutting salaries. At the conclusion of the conference Presi dent Farreli said that the present season would be played out, though some changes would be made in the schedule, with a view to cutting down travelling expenses. No Sunday uall will be attempted in New York State, though Seranton and Wilkes-Barre will continue to play Sunday games on the home grounds Where possible games scheduled for Sunday will be played as one of double header* on Saturdays DE MARA WINS ON WHEEL.

After his Indians had turned defeat into victory with a batting feat. Joe HoGtßßil made an error that lost them the earn- to Toronto in Newark yesterday. The score j was 8 to 7 and the contest proved DM of ) the mo<»t exciting of the season. The ! game was a slugsriner affair, no less than ; thirty hit.- being made, seventeen of them j by the home team. The Maple Leafs drove two pitchers to j the bench and took an early lead by scor ins; six runs in the first three inninsr?. i Newark got busy in its half of the third I and scored four times. The "Iron Man" who put the Indians in j first place by defeating Roches - Satur- j day. went to the mound, relieving Del i Mason, and until the eighth inning a pitch ers' duel ensued. Newark in that -•■:.- ; got to Carroll and before relief was sent j him drove across two run?. The first ball pitched by Rudolph suited Louden and he clouted it lor bis fourth | safety and Mm in what should have been j the winning run. The "fans" were in a frenzy of joy as the locals trotted out to , give Toronto its last chance. Their Joy was quickly turned to sorrow. • With one out and (Mullen on third and j O'Hara at first the "Iron Man" tried to I catch the Beet-footed ex-Giant as he stole j second. The ball was relayed from home 1 to Joe and he heaved it over the second j baseman's head to centre field, the two j runners getting borne. TORONTO. I NEWARK. i abr 1!' PO .i ■ abrlbpoa* .Shaw.
