Two More Records Lowered to Show Saratoga's Track Fastest in the Country
Polymelian Shortens
Time for 6 Furlongs
- i
Lacework Clips Two-fifths
of a Second From Mark
for Shorter Distance
By W. J. Macbeth
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y?, Aug. 2.
f?W. R. Coe's Polymelian, the four
year-old son of Folymelius, in whose
thoroughbred veins ran a rich strain
of English blood, helped save a ioitic
what ordinary racing card this second
day of Saratoga's summer racing meet.
Folymelian simply galloped through six
furlongs to a new track record of
1:10 3-5 for the distance.
It should not take long for Saratoga
to establish its claim to possession of
the fastest track in the country, a
claim already conceded by practically
all of the horsemen of consequence af?
ter watching the competitions of the
two days. The noble Polymelian was
rot the only equine to smash a mark
this afternoon. Lacework, which won
the* opening event, at five furlongs, un?
der a stiff drive, clipped two-fifths of a
second off the old mark when the two
year-old filly hoofed it from start to
finish in the remarkable time of
0:59 3-5.
Creditable as was the performance of
Lacework, the victory nevertheless was
more or less of a fluke, as will be shown
just a bit later on. Had the race been
truly run Nan Knoehr, the favorite,
and not Lacework, should have had the
honor of the new record, and said rec?
ord probably would have been just a
trifle tougher one for the future to
shoot at.
Polymelian'-* Victory Is Genuine
There was no element of fluke in
connection with Polymelian's win. The
only pity in connection with the run?
ning of this event was that the English
colt had no stiffer oppposition. He
went the distance without an effort. He
won as easily as the great Roamer took
the opening day's feature at a mile and '
a quarter, and had he been crowded
might easily have cut away further
fractional seconds, just as Roamer also
might have done. Like Roamer, Poly?
melian scored his triumph with the
least sign of urging, but, unlike
Roamer, he made his own pace, leading
all the way and finishing eased up for
more than the last sixteenth.
Here is Polymelian's fractional time
for the respective furlongs: 12 1-5,
23, 34 2-5, 46 1-5, 57 4-5, 1:10 3-5. Age
and weight considered, this was prob-1
ably the best race ever run anywhere
for the distance. Polymelian shoul- j
dered the heavy impost of 129 pounds,;
and without apparent effort, despite a !
lack of racing incentive in the matter
of real competition or without being |
extended at any time through the long
stretch, spun out the record breaking
performance announced. This thrill?
ing sprint shattered the best previous
time shown at Saratoga, a mark that
had stood since August 3, 1914, when
E, P. Cooney's three-year-old Punch
Bowl stepped in 1:11 flat.
Near? World's Record
Polymelian's performance this after?
noon not only discounted that earlier
effort of Punch Bowl over the same
course, but proved one of the most
creditable performances for the dis?
tance in the history of the turf. It
was thought for a time that it was
a new world's record around the turns
until the oracle of Saratoga pulled the
books. It then transpired that Iron ;
Mask, under the colors of Jeff Living?
ston, some time back in 1914, at the
winter meeting in Juarez, had sprinted
six furlongs around the turns in the
most astonishing time of 1:09 3-5.
But Iron Mask was six years old at
the time and carried only 116 pounds.
"Which is something else again from a
run by a four-year-old with 129 pounds
on his back.
This third race in question, which
made the public forget an apparent
cheapness to the day's racing, was
just a breeze for Polymelian. Fair
brother handled his mount as well as
could be asked. But from the start it
was only a question of the boy sitting
on the colt's back. Whether it was to
the credit of the colt or the rider, the
fact remains that Polymelian was ex?
cellently rated all the way. The odds
on favorite had so much speed that he
breezed away from the others before
the end of a furlong and had opened
up the gap of a length and a half.
George Starr Tries in Vain
Wilfred Viau's George Starr raced
himself out trying to catch that will o'
the wisp in front. Try as he would,
Starr could not cut down the length
and a half advantage that the pace?
maker carried to the head of the
stretch. That advantage was never
even threatened. George Starr faltered
after half a mile of killing effort, and
barely lasted long enough to save show
money from Hollister, which hung onto
him grimly from start to finish.
There was one in this race which
finished second and which will bear
watching next time out?none other
than Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Sunbriar,
which won much fame as a two-year-old
in 1917. After such a race as he ran
with 124 pounds to-day Sunbriar is
liable to be dangerous in any company.
Willie Knapp came like a bullet through
the stretch with the good three-year
old, and cinched the place from the fast
tiring George otarr. But when he ?aw
Folymelian was not to be headed,
Knapp,?too, eabed his mount through
the last seventy-five yards.
Nan Knoehr Poorly Ridden
Now, getting back to Lacework's rec?
ord-breaking performance of the open?
ing event: It seems somewhat of a pity
to question the victory of a thorough?
bred that runs in record time. But the
fact remains that Lacework never would
have won had Tommy Waac not carried
Nan Knoehr away wide at the stretch
turn.
Tommy Waac, which showed a world
of early speed, was about to be col?
lared by the favorite when he went
wide. The circumstance gave McAtee
an opportunity to come through on the
rail with Lacework, an opportunity, by
the way, of which McAtee is seldom in
the habit of availing himself. He
couldn't very well have overlooked
this opening. There was room for a
couple of wagonloads of hay to come
through abreast. Lacework was able
to ?av<- three or four lengths at the
hrast calculation.
Jockey Preece Is Outridden
The necond day proved pleasing
enough for the disciples of form. No
Jess than four favorite? scored, al?
though all of them were at odds-on.
And ?Nan Knoehr should also have won
i/i the bargain. Really, the only favor
itt to disappoint was You Need, in the
fourth race. This one was beuten by
Flyaway, or, rather, little Godfrey
Preece wan Otttr??dan by Joe Byrrii'.
Shannon River, odds-on favorite,
finatty managed to win a steeplechase
jif.re. f.'f.ualJy this one fallu some
ehtra or other along the stiff course.
The black gelding made the pace to
j suit himself^ fenced well and won just
i about as he pleased. Haynes's ride on
j King Simon was anything but im
; pressive. An impression was given
? that the chesnut gelding was out only
j for exercise.
Two Run Like Goats
Marion Goosby was so much better
than Wood Thrush and Royal that she
should have been 1 to 100, instead of
1 to 2. Wood Thrush and Royal ran
like a couple of goats.
Canso had about as easy a time
j again in the mile event which closed
i the day. Lyke raced Lucky Lady into
I submission in the first quarter, then
j drew away to a lead that suited him
and won just as he pleased.
-
The week-end visitors to-morrow
should be cntcratined by a racing card ,
of exceptional merit. The $10,000
United States Hotel Stakes for two
year-olds at six furlongs has attacted
i fourteen of the best juveniles in train?
ing. Five high class three-year-olds
j will contest the Kenner Stakes, at a
l mile and three-sixteenths. The Ball
I ston Steeplechase and three overnight
events, all of which are Well filled,
will complete the card.
John E. Madden will auction a num
I ber of his yearlings in the paddock
I to-morrow afternoon previous to the
I first race. Madden has donated two
i of these youngsters to be auctioned
! for war charities. The proceeds from
1 the sale of one will go to "The .Sun"
Tobacco Fund and of another to Clark
Griffith's Bat. and Ball Fund.

?Three American League
Pilots Played for Pirates
It is a queer fact that Pittsburgh,
a National League stronghold, should
I have supplied three American League
| clubs with managers. Connie Mack
caught for the Pirates for several
seasons, Lee Fohl caught one game
for them and Jimmy Burke, who is
the new boss of the Browns, played
in the Smoky City part of one season
and all of another. Burke was with the
Pirates in 1901 and 1902.
Fielder Jones's successor has moved
around a lot. Probably the first Amer?
ican League club owner who saw Burke
pastime was Harry Frazce of the Red
Sox, for Burke made his start in Peo?
r?a, of the Western Association, in
1897, Peor?a being Frazee's home town.
Maranville in Bay Ridge
"Rabbit" Maranville, the former Bos?
ton Braves star, and his sailor ball
playera from the U. S. S. Pennsylvania
will meet the Crescent Athletic Club
"Oaseball team at the latter's Bay Ridge
grounds this afternoon. The sailors
will find the Crescent nine a tough
proposition, as they have defeated many
service combinations this Beason.
Wright Holds
Yanks to 4 Hits
AndBrownsWin
Mogridge Pitches Well in
All Save One
inning
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2.?The fine pitch- j
ing of Wright, who held the Yankees j
to four hits, gave the Browns victory
in the first game of the series played
to-day. The score was 3 to 2. A home
run by Ray Caldwell with Baker on !
base were the only runs made by the
Huggins men.
Mogridge was on the mound for the
Yanks, and save for one inning George
acquitted himself well. This fatal ;
lapse came in the second, when the j
Browns made two of their three tallies.
After TJemmitt had flied to Gilhooley
Hendryx doubled to right. Gedeon <
sent a skyscraper to Caldwell, but old 1
Jimmy Austin spoiled everything by
his hit to right, which scored Hendryx. j
Jimmy scooted to third on Lamar's ?
wild throw to the plate. A passed ball
completed, the journey home for j
Austin.
in the seventh inning, the Browns
got after Mogridge again and another
run was the result. Austin doubled to j
right for an opener and counted on
Wright's safe blow to the same terri?
tory.
Stop Short of Victory
The Yankees made their spurt In the
eighth, which Home Run Baker started
with a double to left-centre. Caldwell
smashed the ball into the right-field
bleachers, and both men walked across
the rubber. It was an auspicious be?
ginning, but none of the following
Yankee batters could keep up the good
work. Jacque3 Fournier, an ex-White
Sox, who played his first game for the
Yanks at the initial sack, was an easy
out, Gedeon to Sisler. Ward popped a
foul to Sisler and Walters was thrown
out by Maisel. i
Ham Hyatt appeared in his old-time
r?le of pinch-hitter in the ninth, when
he swung instead of Mogridge. Ham
shot a safety past first and Peckin
paugh was drafted to run for the
cumbersome Hyatt. Gilhooley sacri?
ficed Peck along to second, but Lamar
was tossed out by Gedeon, and Pratt
put the period on the proceedings by
flying to Tobin.
Beaten by ex-Yankees
An odd feature of the game was the
fact that two former Yankees scored
: all the runs made by the Browns.
| Austin made two and Hendryx account
J ed for the other. Furthermore, of the
I six hits made off Mogridge, Fritz
i Maisel, another cx-Yan, got one; Hen?
dryx one and Austin two.

May Be Final Verdict
i
National League Sends Drey
fuss to Represent It at
Confab in Cleveland
The National League baseball season I
will end not later than September 2, j
and immediately after that date the
winning club will meet the victor in
the American League race, providing an
agreement can be reached for such a
?erles with the rival major organiza?
tion.
These were the decisions reached at
a special meeting of the National
League ?magnate* held in this city early
last evening. Furthermore, Barney
Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh
Club, was appointed a committee of ]
one to attend the gathering of the I
American league officials at Cleveland j
to-day. I
It will be the purpose of Dreyfuss
to effect a satisfactory rearrangement
of the schedules of both leagues, so
that a world scries may be possible.
Dreyfuss was endowed with full power
to present the views of the National
League at the Cleveland confab.
The National League authorities are
not .unwilling to have the pennant race
end before September 2, which would
mean the starting of the world series
on or about August 28, providing prey
fuss, its representative, after confer?
ring with the American League men,
decides this to be the proper course to
follow.
Ban Johnson, in a statement issued
last night in Chicago, took the stand
that he would not consent to staging
the world series after September 1,
and started for the Cleveland confer?
ence with the backing of six of the
eight clubs in th? American League.
The supposition is that the National
League, as represented by Ureyfuss,
will acquiesce in this plan, which would
call for the closing of the regular sea?
son on August 17 and the starting of
the world series on or about August 20,
GEORGE TYLER, one of those "Leftys," had almost as much
fun with the Giants yesterday as Jim Vaughn enjoyed on
the preceding day. Tyler ?allowed the McGraw men five hits
as against Vaughn's one, but George had a better margin of runs to
work on than Jim possessed. These two "Leftys" have just about
squelched the Giants' aspirations for another pennant.

McGraw Sends Smith
To Help the Dodgers
John McGraw came to the aid of
Wilbert Robinson yesterday, when he
sent George Smith, a pitcher, to the
Brooklyn team. It is likely that
Smith will finish the season with the
Dodgers. Smith was wanted also by
the St. Louis Cardinals.
The badly crippled Brooklyn team is
likely any day to lose three of its
pitchers?Rube Marquard, Don Grimes
and Harry Heitman, all of whom have
joined the navy. Smith will be a valu?
able acquisition to the Dodgers and
bis twirling is sure to improve under
the tutelage of Robinson.

Dodgers Defeat
Matty's Reds;
Get Fifth Place '
Are Now Only One Game
Behind Phillies?Double
Bill To-day
The lowly Dodgers moved up in the j
world yesterday, taking fifth place in j
the league race from the Cincinnati
Reds in the "coocial series" at Ebbets
Field, by virtue of a 2-to-l victory over j
Christy Mathewson's minions. Brook- j
lyn is now only one ?game behind Phil- J
adelphia and fourth place.
Opportune hitting, coupled with a j
fine exhibition of twirling by Larry
Cheney, piled the double defeat of the
Reds on top of their loss yesterday.
Cheney sorted out only ?ve scattered
hits among the visitors and it was his
own temporary wildness in the seventh
that gave Cincinnati its only run. Cin?
cinnati found considerable trouble in
solving Cheney's curves. Three of the
hits came after two were out.
Cheney was faced on the mound by
Jimmy Ring, a protege of the sandlots
of Brooklyn during his schoolboy days '
not many years ago. Ring had many
followers in the stands who rooted for
him and victory and his exhibition
would have won many a game How
ever, he was the cause of his own j
downfall, as he passed Daubert with
the bases filled in the seventh frame,
forcing home the winning run. Both j
Roush and Wingo collected doubles for
Cincinnati, but in each instance they :
gathered these extra base wallops with
two down.
Dodgers Field Splendidly
Not. an unimportant factor was the
splendid fielding which the Dodgers
continue to display. Doolan and
O'Mara stood in the breach on several
occasions, while Hy Myers, on the run,
pulled down two long drives. Lee !
Magee. at second base, intercepted sev
eral hard smashes among his nine '
cleanly handled chances. "Lena"
Blackburne again mussed up two of
his three opportunities.
Zach Wheat added to his consistent
hitting. He boosted his record to
twenty-one successive games in which
he has poled out hits. He took two !
off Ring. This total of Wheat's!
equals the season's record made by
Eddie Foster early in the year and is
only two games behind Ross Young, of
the Giants.
A home run by Jake Daubert gave
Brooklyn its first run in the third.
After Lee Magee had tossed out both j
Johnston and Olson, Daubert hit to the ?
score board and was safe at home by a j
big margin. The winning tally in the !
seventh developed when Cheney, after i
two out, singled to centre. Johnston ?
hit safely to right and Olson beat out
a hit to Cueto, filling the bases. Ring!
passed Daubert, forcing home the win- j
ning tally.
Battery Errors Net Run
Battery errors in the upper half of
the seventh netted Cincinnati its only ?
run. Cheney hit Neale, the first bat?
ter, with a pitched ball, and after Grif
fith had flied out, Cueto singled. A i
passed ball advanced both runners.
Cheney let go a wild pitch, on which ',
Neale scored from third. Doolan
threw out Wingo, and Ring, with a sec
ond chance in front of him to win the
game, struck out again.
A double bill is scheduled for this
afternoon between the same teams, the ,
opener starting at 1:30 o'clock.

Cubs Make a FarceT
Of Giants' Defence
Players Crowd
Course in Deal
Golf Tourney!
The players competing in the invita?
tion golf tournament of the Deal Golf
Ciub for the benefit of the Army Ath?
letic Fund had another ideal day at the
seaside yesterday for their favorite
sport. Seven sixteens qualified, making ]
a cumbersome field to handle, for in ad?
dition to the seven sixteens playing
their first and second rounds the seven
beaten eights played their first round.
An amusing incident of the morning i
round was the playing of the last hole
by E. G. B. Riley, Fox Hills, and F. A.
Gaynor, Apawamis. The result of their |
match depended upon that hole. It is a I
par 1 ole, and all the hard luck at- ]
tached o the hole was divided. Riley
was ,iie more fortunate, and finally won
the hole in 11?12. They were in the I
first sixteen.
The uncertainty of golf was pretty
clearly demonstrated in the second six?
teen, when \Y. E. Donahue, Union
County Country Club, led D. F. Shay,
Baltusrol, by 6 up at the ninth green j
and had to play nineteen holes to win.
J. Henry Haggerty had to play nine?
teen holes to win his match from
Charles H. Leach, as did also Charles A.
Edgerton to defeat John Cavanaugh.
The match between George P. Fergu?
son and Edward M. White went twenty
holes before Ferguson won. The same
was the case with Paul E. Heller, who
beat Edgar ,J. Orme.

Romp Around Bases for
Eleven Scores?McGraw
Gets Puny One
By Charles A. Taylor
The chaos in the subway has had ?
frightful effect on the Giants. EVen
the presence of three thousand whit?
garbed sailors and the music of ju&t
about the best band that ever sent it?
strains echoing over the Polo Grounds
were not sufficient inspiration for the
McGraw men to win a game sadly
needed if their hopes of capturing an
other pennant in the National League
are to come true.
The chaos was confined to the Giants.
The inspiration afforded by Unds
Sam's sailors was reaped by the Chi
cago Cuba, who trampled s? hard on
the "Cliff Dwellers" that when the re?
turns were all in it was disclosed that
the Cubs had made nineteen hits for
eleven runs, whereas the Giants hid
banged out a puny five safeties for on.
run, which was a gift pure and simp!?.
The only relief for the disccnsolate
fans was furnished by the presence of
these white garbed a?ors. Their
marching before the contest opened
and their singing after they had been
steered into their seats in the sun back
of third base were the thrill pr?.
ducers. The Giants were the spill pro?
ducers. It was a large afternoon for
the sailors and the Cubs and a mighty
small afternoon for the Giants and
their disciples.
Perritt Opens Fire
Amid the reverberations of a ja?
tune from the sailor band Polonioui
Perritt walked to the mound at the be?
hest of Hank O'Day, and the mimic
battle was on. Flack grounded out to
Doyl", and everybody was happy.
Charley Hollocher, the Cub shortstop!
who leaped to the top rung of fame'in
a day, sounded the -first discordant
note. The sailor band had made no
discords. This Hollocher hit safely to
right, .
Mann popped to Doyle, and -the dis?
cordant note was forgotten until it was
sounded again by the aged Dodo Pas
kert, who tripled to left centre, scoring
Hollocher. Fred Merkle beat out a
teasing grounder to Doyle, which Poll
Perritt tried vainly to field, only to
have the ball escape his glove, Paskert
tallying.
The Cubs reBted from their labors
j in the second, but in the third they
ended the activities of Polonious Per
I ritt by hanging out another run. With
one man out the irrepressible Hoi
' locher singled to centre and stole see
ond, thanks to a wide toss by McCartT
and the speed of the runner. Mann hit
safely to left and Hollocher tallied.
Jawn Relinquishes the Sponge
About 200 of the sailors and ?lohn J.
McGraw threw up the sponge at this
point. The sailors made for the exits
and John J. was asleep on the Giant
bench when his men took their turn at
bat in their half of this samt* third
frame. The fans quit, too, and the
band and the Cubs alone kept on the
; job.
It seems untimely to continue the
story of the agony, but for the benefit
of those who like to know how every?
thing happened it is probably essential
to note that the Cubs picked up st?J
another tally in the fourth at the ex?
pense of Ferdie Schupp, who had suc?
ceeded Perritt in the box. .^fter fan?
ning Merkle, Ferdie was touched fora
two-base hit by Deal, who crossed the
plate when Zimmerman allowed Killi
fer's grounder to roll between his legs.
Heinie received deserved jeers for bis
costly sprawl.
The next chapter of the agony was
the fifth, when two more Weeghroan
hirelings counted. A double by Hol?
locher and a triple by Mann put one
run over, and a wild pitch by Ferdie
Schupp accounted for the other. It
was lovely?the jazz tune the band
played.
Cubs at It Again
In the eighth what few sailors were
left in the sun-kissed stand back of
third staggered along the runways
looking for the nearest approach to
Eighth Avenue or to the steps that
lead over Coog-an's Cliff. Hundreds of
fans joined in the recessional. They
had sufficient reason, for these Windy
City lads got their second wind and
hammered out another pair of runs in
this session at the bat.
Merkle beat out a hit to Zimmer?
man and went to second on Deal!
sacrifice bunt. "Bunions" Zeider land?
ed on one of Ferdie's drops fora single
to left, v/hich scored Merkle, Zeider
taking second on the throw to the
plate." Killifer hit safely to right,
Zeider being held at third. The Cub
catcher was out on an attempted steal
of second. Tyler singled to centre,
Zeider tallying1.
The end Was not yet. In the ninth
the visitors caused Ferdie Schupp to
recall Darwin's "Origin of the Specie*
such a monkev did they make out o?
him. Mann doubled to left. Taskert
singled to right, ?Merkle sent? a two
bagger to left. Deal singled to centre,
Zeider singled to left?all of which
meant three more tallies for the Cub".
The onlv sailors left when the Giants
went to* the bat "for their last Epaam
were the members of the band, whiw
along with the Cubs had "played" well.
Cubs Show Pity
In a spirit of pity the Cubs P?'
mitted the Giants to make one run i&
their section of the final frame. Young
beat out a hit to Merkle and was force"
at second by Fletcher's grounder ?
Hollocher. Zimmerman brought "iouw
over with a single to right. Flock paT'
ing no attention to the fact tn?
Fletcher was on his way to the pi-*?*
And the band played on until tn*
last stragglers of the straggling rem?
nant of fans slouched off the field.
