TWELVE HORSES ENTER
NEW RACING FIXTURE
Pipirtg Rock Steeplechase To Be
Run on October 12.
The entry li??? t? for the newest and
one of the richest fixture? of ama?
teur racing, the Piping: Rock Subscrip?
tion steeplechase Handicap, closed yes?
terday. There are twelve entries. The
first running of the classic, will come
on the second dav of the fall meeting,
October 12.
Tha idea of the race was to arrange
a sweepstakes for the devotees of rac?
ing through the field similar to the
Piping Rock subscription handicaps on
the flat, that weie so popular when the
Locust Valley course opened its gates
several years airo. The subscriptions
of JlaiJO apiece, and guaranteed for the
next two years, wil make the puise
??0,000, all going to the winner.
This new fixture, together with the
Whitney Memorial Steeplechase Handi?
cap, which is run at the spring meet- ;
ing, and the Harbor Hill, for three
year-old jumpers, gives the Piping
Roch course the distinction of furnish- i
-ng the three richest 'chases in thei
country.
The list of the subscribers, with the
horatl that have been named, follows:

POP FLY DEFEATS
THE NEWARK FEDS
Jimmy Esmond Misses It and
Buffalo Gets Busy.
A little pop fly that escuped the
hands of Jimmy Esmond enabled the '
Buffal Blue* to start a rally that re- '?
suited in the scoring of two ?uns, ;
which was enough to defeat the New-,
ark Feds at Harrison yesterday. The '
fcore was 4 to 3.
Two men wer. out when Esmond
committed the misplay in the seventh,
and two safeties in success on rapidly ;
followed. Buffalo jumped to a c-m- j
manding lead in the first inning, when
four bunched hits netted two run?.
Newark started a promising rally in
the ninth inning, but '.ie effort to
Catch the Buffalo nine fell a run ?short.
The tieing and winning runs remained
on the bases when the third Newark '
batte" was retired.
Anderson worked in effective fash
ion for Buffalo, although the Newark j
Feds found him for eight hits. With
the exception of the first and eighth
innings, George Kaiserling, the Newark
twirler, offered up a puzzling assort?
ment of curves. Billiard pitched the
ninth inning.

CNLY THREE FINISH
IN STEEPLECHASE
English Two-Year-Old Ea**t*s
His Brackets at End of Car'
at Saratoga Springs.
IB? Ttlegrtph lo The Tribune 1
Saratoga Springs. N Y.. Aug. 25.
August Belmont's Friar Rock won the
Adirondack Handicap for two-year-olds
in a driving finish in a race that was
the feature of rather an ordinary card
offered by the Saratoga Association.
As a matter of fact it cost the associa?
tion nothing, for the nominations and
the starting fees made up the $2,.*i00
that was guaranteed.
This was not the only race that sent
to the chairman of the Jockey Club, for
in the opening six furlong dash his
thres-year-old filly Fenmouse proved
best of a smart lot of selling platers
and she had little trouble m lea'ding
Andrew Miller's Bae to the finish by
ten lengths.
The steeplechase of the ?lav brought
out six starters, and onlv three fin?
ished, with Thomas Hitchcock's Kehtoh
w-inner over Henry Lee's Big Sandy and
IV. F. Prii-grat-e's Bryndown. a mare
that has been leased by W. R. Coe,
owner of the Shoshone Stable, for the
running oi the Piping Rock subscrip?
tion steeplechase next October.
Those that came to grief were Te
beto, who unseated Tuckey at the thir?
teenth fence; Texas Star, who svent
down with Haynes at the fourteenth,
and Archdule, who unseattd Waugh at
the last fence.
An interesting incident of the run?
ning was that I'ebeto, after losing his I
rider, con'.inued the course without a
mistake and then beat Kehtoh home by
a couple of lengths.
Friar R'.ck was ridden by Eddie Du
gan n the Adirondack, and he had to
he x ?.'ood colt to win. Primero i?nd
Achievement were the ones to make
the running, while the Belmont colt
was badly shuffled buck Hnd scorned un?
able to keep up with the pace. Dugun
was forced to take him to the outside,
and while it cost him several lengths
he had the advantage of firmer foot?
ing. He did not catch Achievement
until well in?ide the last sixteenth,
and tn a stirring finish he just beat
the ?.'arman colt a neck, while Kilmer,
the colt that John Madden sold to W.
A. Prime, wat. only a nose back of
Achievement, while T. C. McDowell's
Primero was lapped on the pair of
them
The track was slow fron, a hesvy
rainfall of last night, and nlong the
inner rail in the stretch it was partic?
ularly deep. This condition ?vas re?
sponsible for the defeat of Menlo l'ark
in a mile race for platers. She ?.?.as
!eading in the stretch and plainly the
best, but was I.eaten home just be?
cause Duke of Dunbar finished where
the footing was firm.
Yolant, the three-vear-old that S.
Lew!? purchased ."rom Joseph E. Davis
earlier in the season, was winner of '
the other mile Belling affair, but was
mor?1 or less lucky to score, for Booker ?
Bill was best, but was weakly ridden ;
by Connelly. At *th" end of the pro?
gramme Jefferson Livingstone's Eng?
lua colt Polroma heat John Madden's
Smoothbore and three other maiden ju?
veniles.
Sam Lewis bought the two-year-old
(Illy Kdna Kenna Irom Max Hirsch to- ?
day.
Charlestonian. the four-year-old that
Joseph Marrone purchased from J. W.
Messervy, will be sent to Dr. McCuD
1*8***1 larm and fired this fall.
W. J. Young will ship his string back
to Latonia to-morrow. In the shipment
will go J. W. Parrish's good two-yeai
old Bulse.
The rule barring led ponies from
approaching the horses after a race un- j
til the jockeys are weighed out will
be enforced for the rest of the meet- I
ing.
The five-year-old chestnut gelding
Meeting House, by Yoter-Noonday, re?
cently sold by the Greentrec Stable to
John 0. Talbott, died of lockjaw this
morning. He was considered geni
enough to be entered in all the 'cross?
country stakes at this meeting except
the Shillelah, run the opening day.

"How rre -rot- picking 'em now in the National League?" queries ... F.
Woto not p-ck.ng 'em now. UVve deeded to wait until the immediate vicinity
of October 6.
This seem? to he (ui.-ty <l:,y in hulk. Here's another:
I Dear Sir: Who is the greatest lawn tennis pl.jcr of all ?ime Doherty,
| Gilding. Brookes. Urne?! ?r McLotighlin ? W. A. 1... Roche,fer, N. Y.
* There is no selecting the greate?t ?tar of .11 time ,n any sport. The
closest approach to a selection might come in baseball, where records nhow
exactly what each man did. In baseball, for instance. Cohh has outclassed th,
. held by a vider Rlfflli than any player ever did before, and so might be reg
, ?stered as the greatest player that ever lived So a runner who could travel
; 100 yards in 0:00M might well b, known as the greatest gprinter ever sent
to the track. In golf there is a matter of par to play against the record of
strokes but in lawn tennis there i, no such record one man's game depend
ing largely upon his rival, piny. Ilrookes has beaten Wilding and Wilding ha
? beaten Brookes. Both have beaten Mcl.oughlin and McLoughlin has beaten
| both. And who is there to say that Mcl.oughlin at his best is any better or
| any worse than Lamed at his best? Certainly not us.
Agreement.
A Boston fanatic has put through this kick: "Don't you think," he writes,
| "that the 25 cent patron? should receive better accommodations and that there
should be more ?5 cent seats?"
Wc do. Ten cent baseball is pruning down the scale too much for thv
j ir.aintainance of standard sport. Hut for those who are willing to pay 25 cents
and arc unable to pay any more conditions should be changed entirely. Th
25 cent patron deserves far better accommodations than he has received of
late years. .
Picking the Greatest.
Picking the greatest entry in any sport involves abnormal risk. McLough
lin last season was rated as the greatest of all tennis players by a wide margin
? end then Williams beat him.
Ouimet was place?! beyond all amateur golf rivalry after beating Travers
at F.kwanok and adding the amateur to the open title of the year before. Ha
had beaten Travers three straight times. Then at Baltusrol Travers turned
and beat Ouim/t by nearly twenty strokes in the open championship at
medal play.
At Detroit and Forest Hills.
Within a few days the golf and lawn tennis championships start at l)x roit
and Forest Iliils, respectively.
Yet with all the dope there is to fall back on, picking a winner at either
place is as complex a proposition BI selecting the flag victor in the National
league, or the American League or the Feds. Many can guess, but there isn't
any one with any logical dope to back i.n opinion up. For no man ?ay say whether
Mcl.oughlin will have an inspired week or will again ramble in the rut. and
no man ran say whether Evani v. ?11 improve in his putting or whether Travers,
Ouimet or F.?. ans will bump against some outsider moving at top speed for a
cirtain day.
Changed Days.
Some years ago it was easy enough to forecast that Travers or Travis
would win at golf and that Hill Lamed would retain his crown without
stirring up much dutst.
Or that the Mackmen would ranter home in the American League -or
that the i'iants or Cubl would ga'her in all the glory there was in the older
circu?*.
But those days are gone. There are too many first class entries now in
golf and tenait to ?gurc any one man a fairly well primed certainty. The
betting against Travers, Ouimet or Evans at Detroit will be at least 5 to 1.
And then an ill ?\ui>? in the National, three in the American and five in
the Federal League to be considered as late as waning summer. ?
Texas Leaguers.
Ability lo protect a short lead requires more raw nerve than a dash
from behind.

Two years ago at this date the Cubs, carrying a percentage of .ntH in
the National League, were a poor third
To-day any club with a percentage of .5f>8 would come near wrecking
the dad-hinged league.
Stuff th nt was of no value last year may be worth a mint next season.
It must have been a terrible blow to Fred Snodgrass to be forced upon
the Braves with an inside shot at that extra $3,000 dispensed around world
series time. Terrible, indeed.
And the chances are that if Col. Snodgrass get? in another world series
against the Red Sox and another fly ball worth $30,000 drifts toward centre
field he will not only employ the single and double grab, but also his teeth
and toes in meeting the situation. Once is also enough with $.10,000 at stake.
As a rule when a citizen once dwells in a top floor apartment he refuses
to make any change to a lower floor. Hut Mct?raw and Mack don't appear to
feel that way about it. For a change they are trying to get as far away
from the top as possible which, after all, is the only way to make a change;
i. e., to make a thorough one.

OWNER OF BROWNS
ENTERS THE ARENA
To Vie with Sommers and Mack
in Disposing of Good Players.
Now* comes Colonel Robert Lee Hedges,
owner ot the St. Louis Browns, to rival
Connie Mack and ?harley Sommers for
the title ot champion disposer of base?
ball talent.
Some say that the colonel has no
good players to dispose of, but the
colonel believes otherwise.
A fortnight ago the colonel sold Bil!
James, the tall pitcher, to the Detroit
Tiger! for $15,000 and yesterday he dis?
posed of Samuel Agnew, the star catch?
er of the Browns. Agnew goes to the
Boston Red Sox. The price paid for
Agnew by the Boston club has not been
announced, but it is believed to be close
to the $?s,00? mark.
To counteract this advantage gained
by the colonel it is said that C-harhe
i Sommers will dispose of his grand?
stand, and Connie Slack will auction off
his old pennant poles.
