SPORTS IN GENERAL
American Jockeys Most Successful in
England and France.
HISS GAST'S WONDERFUL MSG
Good Day for Favorites at Morris
Park Yesterday.
BASE BALL NEWS AND GOSSIP
As the eastern Jockeys compare with
those riding In the west, so do American
Jockeys excel their English brethren. The
race between English and American Jock
eys has been very exciting the last few
weeks, for first Lester Reiff heads the list
and then he has to surrender to "Sammy"
Loates. The latter probably gets one-fifth
more riding, so if It was left to percentage
our jockeys would come out considerably In
the lead.
On account of the winning rides of Eng
lish Jockeys not being cabled to this coun
try, it is impossible to give a complete, up
to-date table of the leading Jockeys, Ameri
can and English, now riding In England.
{he Sporting Life of London published a
st of the leading twelve up to and includ
ing October 5, as follows:
Position. Jockey. Mounts, Lust. Won.
1 L. Krtff 433 315 118
2 Sara Liates 633 518 114
3 i. Erf* 458 318 110
4 0. Madden 563 463 81
5 K. Klrkaby 410 338 75
6 M. Cumuli 304 321 73
7 T. Sluane 270 188 71
I 8 B. Rlirbj 368 3u8 61

1 1 K. Kinlay 248 214 34
1 2 C. Varueil 240 208 31
Since then the record of American jockeys
and also American bred horses has been
really remarkable. Ma her had ridden se v
eral winners before the above falila was
published, but of course not enough to place
him in the first twelve, though on his per
centage he would probably be entitled to a
place among them.
From October 5 to October 13, inclusive,
the Reiffs, Maher, T. Sloane, Jenkins and
Martins have ridden winners, and Sinims,
Cash Sloane and "Patsy" Freeman have
earned brackets in France.
During the last two weeks many remark
able circumstances have taken pUce.
"Johnny" Reiff rode four winners Jt Not
tingham. and two days later at Leicester
hi> finished first with three mounts. Many
good judges consider he is the premi' r
jockey of the world, and Mr. Foxnall
Keene, for one, admits that he thinks he is
superior to Sloane.
At Newmarket, on October 11, American
jockeys won every race, and finished first,
second and third twice. On the following
day they won four races, and again finished
one. two, three in two of the events.
While our jockeys have been distinguish
ing themselves honors have been falling
thick on American-bred horses also, eleven
races having been won by them since Sep
tember 27.
MORRIS I'AKK RACES.
Star Bright Winn Ktlielbert Stakes In
EipHIiik t'onteit.
The attendance at Morris Park was unu
sually large, even for Monday. The pro
gram offered no bright or shining stars, but
the horses entered seemed equally matched,
and this fact, together with the warm sun
shine. brought out a big crowd. Klondike
was the only favorite killer, and h? might
have been termed a favorite, as he prob
ably carried as many commissions as
Draughtsman did. After the first race five
first choice horses got home first, making
the majority of the talent extremely happy.
Klondike is a horse of unusual merit. lie
took up his 173 pounds and ran through the
deep mud for one and one-half miles like a
jumper of some class. He indulged Alva
rado II and Draughtsman with the lead
until within striking distance of home,
when he went to the front and won as he
pleased. For his excellent work over the
hurdles in this country he is to go abroad
to try his luck on the British turf, leaving
New York on Saturday next.
Star Bright and Douro were the only
starters for the Lthelbert stakes at two
miles, over the Withers course. It is per
haps fortunate for Star Bright that no
more horses did start, for he required the
whole track all for himself. Mr. Madden
ijave Odom orders to wait with Star Bright j
and let Douro make the running for a mile
>r so. but Star Bright was not in a waiting
mood. He nearly pulled poor little Odom
out of the saddle from the start, and on
several occasions he ran out and zigzagged
? m the track. Odom had to keep hitting
him lightly on the right side of his head
with his whip to keep him anywhere near
the rail on the turns. He finally won by a
couple of lengths in 3.3i%. Both horses
were well backed. Star Bright being a slight
favorite at all times.
Rolling Boer, running In the name and
colors of William ("ahill, won the race for
two-year-olds after a long drive with Gold
Heels. He was a top-heavy favorite at 0 to
5. while Gold Heels was his nearest com
petitor. If the start had been anywhere
near good, it is likely that All Saints would
have won the race. Half of the boys did
not think it was a start when the flag fell,
and Ransch, among the others, pulled up
for a second. . When he discovered his
error he went on and gained on the leaders
all the way home. He was going strongest
at the end, only a length and a half back.
All of Mr. Keene's horses seem to be in
good condition.
The Second Monday handicap fell to Car
buncle in easy style. Vulcain and Dr. Bar
low were generously played by manyshrewd
bettors, and both horses ran up to their
form. Carbuncle in the mud Is a better colt
than he is on a dry track. He held the race
safe at all points. Vulcain was second and
Dr. Barrow came In third.
Colonel Padden appeared in T. D. Sulli
van's colors, and was a strong favorite.
With Burns In the saddle the race lookod as
If It were a gift for him. The start was
fair, with the Colonel in second place. Ha
soon galloped into the lead and held It to
the end. Luerana ran second and Miss M.
Oliver's Mauga was third. Dolando ran for
the first time in J. J. McCafTerty's name
yesterday, and won his race from Oread and
Sparrow Wing. Henry had to ride hard
through the stretch to catch Oread. With
a better Jockey Oread would have won the
race.
- 8. C. Hlldreth asked for a hearing before
the Jockey Club, which was granted Satur
day night. Hlldreth desired to know what
his standing was in racing circles, and said
If there was no chance for his racing here
he would take all of his horses west. He
preferred, however, to race part of bis
stable here. The Jockey Club heard all
that Hlldreth had to say, but dkl not give
out a decision.
W. C. Whitney has engaged John Rogers
to lake entire charge of all his horses and
to train them. Mr. Rogers Is considered an
able trainer and a man of much sagacity
Both Mr. Whitney and Mr. Rogers received
many congratulations yesterday.. vVhen
Rogers blows his trumpet for calling all of
Mr. Whitney's horses In, the stampede of
thoroughbreds will make the gathering cf
the clans look like hollow mockery The
rumor that Mr. Whitney -has bought J E
Madden's Kentucky tarm Is without foun

GREAT CYCLING FEAT.
Miss Gut Credited With World's Road
Record for Miles.
Shortly after 7 o'clock last night Miss
Margaret Gast finished her ride of 2.000
miles on a bicycle at Valley Stream, Long
Island. She has been paced throughout In
this useless and brutal contest by friends
and members of the Century Road Club of
America, all of whom assert that she has
covered the distance she Is credited with.
If so. Miss Oast has broken all road rec
ords for that distance, made by either man
| or woman. Miss Gast finished her ride at
7:05:30 last night, the time consumed In
making tfce 2,000 miles being 222 hours and
5^ minutes. William H. Brown of Brook
lyn, who held the world's record for the
distance until last night, made the 2 000
miles last autumn in 225 boars and
minutes. According to thras figures M'ith
G?st h?. broken tte'fecord by Just 8 hours
and 1 minute.
,*en* ** tl>e conclusion of the ride
Stream hut night was a lively
one. The friends of^JMp plucky little woman
hau made preparations to celebrate the per
formance. When Ifans Gaat rode into Val
ley Stream she wm -welcomed by several
hundred people, who cheered her for many
minutes. Then Immense bonfires were
started, flreworke sizzled through the air,
ana the tired but thoroughly happy woman
was led Into the lltUe hotel and put to
b?d. An hour later ft was said that she
was sleeping sounAljf. Before going to i
sleep Miss Oast safid^that if she woke up
this morning feeling as well as she did last
night she would start out at 7 o'clock to
ride another R00 miles.
Miss Gast was examined late yesterday
afternoon by two physicians. Drs. B. F.
Williams and H. Strand of Brooklyn. They I
reported that her pulse was 74, respiration
18. and temperature 98^?conditions nearly
normal. At the conclusion of her long ride
Miss Gast stepped upon the scales at the
hotel at/ Valley Stream and showed that
she weighed exactly lit pounds, or nine
po.jI1(}f e8<? fhan when she started. It Is
said that she will be married soon to Will
?am H. Brown, who arranged the schedule
for her In the long* ride and acted as her
trainer during the journey.
The performance. If genuine, Is the most
remarkable In the history of long distance
riding in this or any other country. Three
..1. , the long distance was pedaled
either In the rain or over roads deep in
irud. The weather conditions were even
n:ore unfavorable than those encountered by
Brown, when he made the record last year.
The old records made by Mrs. Brush, Miss
Lindsay and other Women riders pale into
insignificance when compared with the per
formance Just finished by Miss Gast. There
are some people who think that several
other ambitious women will Immediately
??ari. to try to establish a better record,
if they do the chances are that the good
people living In that part of Long Island
I will rise up in their might and request the
police to Interfere. They do not begrudge
[ the notoriety achieved by Miss Oast. but
tliey have had about all of the women en
durance contests they want on Long Island.
Miss Gast s trainers denied that injections
or cocaine or morphine had beeh given to
th? woman in the courue of her long ride.
Y. N. C. A. and Dnpuots Play a Close
Game.
A battle royal took place on the Van Ness
Park gridiron yesterday afternoon between
the Y. M. C. A. and Dupont teams, the
former winning out by the score of 0 to 5.
Both sides played snappy foot ball, the
larger gains by each resulting from clever
dodging around the ends. The centers of
both teams were about equal in strength,
so that large gains in rushes in that direc
tion were almost Impossible. Neither side
scored in the first half. In the second the
Duponts scored first through a clever end
play of Burrows. A touchdown followed,
but In such a position that the ball could
not be kicked between the bars. The Du
ponts felt elated over the score and started
off well for the next try. but the associa
tion lads pulled themselves together and
pained possession of the ball on a fumble
at their own 35-yard line. Morrison was the
plucky boy to pick up the ball, and away
he sailed with the pigskin, everybody on
the field in pursuit or offering protection.
He finally shot between the posts, making
his dash of sixty-five yards a most brilliant
one. An easy goal followed. After a few
minutes' more play without either side
scoring the game was called, with the score
standing ? to 5 in favor of the Y. M. C. A.
Next Saturday afternoon the Y. M. C. A.*
meet the strong Eastern? High School team
and an Interesting game is expected. Play
will begin at 4:15. - J
Itrooklyn Won the First Gnine.
The first game of the series at Pittsburg
for the Chronicle-Telegraph cup was played
yesterday between the Brooklyn and Pitts
burg c'.ubs, the former winning easily by
the score of 5 to 2. McGlnnity did the
twirling for the champions, and as he was
in fine fettle but Jive hits were registered
off his delivery. Waddell was on the rubber
for the pirates and his delivery was easy of
solution, the Brooklyps<- hitting the ball

The barnstorming tour of the Phillies and
Bostons must have collapsed, as nothing

Washington. The Quakers are playing

mil Donovan was not the success with
Brooklyn that his Hartford work promised.
Pill has to get the ball over the plate for

St. Louis began the season by shutting
out Pittsburg 3 to 0 and closed It by shut

Brodle, who has been playing with the
Chicago club of the American league, will
In all probability be returned to Brooklyn.

Joe Kelley had the unique experience of
playing eleven games in Boston this year
without making a hit.
Ren Mulford says: The colored gent In
the Boston woodpile can be seen without
the aid of opera glasses. It was Director
Billings who was booming Hugh Duffy,
but the hearts of Deacon Soden and Uncle
Phil Conant were true to "Poll" Selee.
Kdward Fertsch. who pitched for Buffalo
this season, was out hunting the other day
and was accidentally shot In the left arm
by a friend. The arm was shattered and
will have to be amputated. This means
that Fertsch's base ball days are over.
Kelley, Jennings and Keeler are the only
piayers on the Brooklyn team who played
for the Temple cup in past years. Tom
O'Brien was a member of the Baltimore
team In 1807 and took part In one game
against Boston.
Slagle leads the Phillies In the number
of stolen bases up to date, with thirty
eight, and Flick and Thomas are tied for
second place, with thirty-four each, while
Lajole Is third with twenty-four.
If Cincinnati is to loss Hartxel. Dick Har
ley would make a good running mate for
Barrett. Perhaps President Brush might
be able to give a bunch of players and some
cash for Harley. Dick would strengthen
Cincinnati, no matter whether Hartzell Is
secured or not.
Eighteen members of the Chicago team

The Pirates won the majority of games at
home and abroad. This is a record for
them. In no season sirtce 1882 have they
accomplished this until this year. At home
the Pirates won forty-two games and lost
twenty-eight, and abroad they won thlrty
s?ven and lost thirty-two. On western
grounds they won sixteen games and lost
fourteen, and in the east they captured
twenty-one games ind lost eighteen.
In reviewing the success of the Brooklyn
team critics are Inclined to overlook two
men who have contributed more largely to
its triumph than appears on the surface
Jim McGulre and Charley (Duke) Farreli
have been a power behind the bat. and that
carries great weight in playing the inside
game.?New York World.
President Brush is not yet ready to an
nounce the retention of Manager Allen for
next year. He probably wants to keep the
fans guessing a while. It would doubtless
be good policy for Mr. Brush to name his
choice for manager soon and let him begin
building up a major league team for Cin
cinnati in 1901.

are seven players on the team who have

Wagner and Stenzel, was mads _by Pat

aue players know what to do when they
don the spangles and appear on the dia
mond, hut they are poor managers. For
more than a month the Pittsburg players
held meetings, appointed committees and
planned for the world s championship
series, but made vary little progress. On
Saturdav they realized that they needed a
man of business ability and called upon
Secretary Pulliam to help them out. In six
hours there was order where confusion had
reigned.
What's the use of magnaterial indigna
tion over the Philadelphia club's "buzzer
system? There is no positive law to pre
vent such trickery; and if there were, it
would not be enforced against so powerful

on the league calendar has been violated

The re-port that Tommy I^each had done
lOo yards in 10 2-5 ssconds at the Pittsburg
club's field sports last Friday led to a dis
cussion among the players as to who was
the speediest runner in the league. It was
agr?ed that Flick, one of the Phillies, is
the fastest runner, but that Willie Keeler
is the fastest man in getting down to first
base.?Cincinnati Enquirer. There is lots

mont and Loach against Flick, Keeler or
any other National League sprinter.
No wonder Pittsburg is base ball mad.
Barney Dreyfuss has devoted time and
money to getting together a good ciub. For
some time Poole was touted as the best
pitcher in the Interstate League. Dreyfuss
saw him work and bought his release. Sat
urday Mr. Poole pitched great ball against
Chicago and won his game. He also
smashed out a home run and thres-bagger.
During the present season good reports
reached Cincinnati, Pittsburg and other
cities about the great catching and hitting
of "Jiggs" Donohue, the Dayton backstop.
Dreyfuss boarded a train and went to ths
gem city and watched Donohue work in a
few games. The young man showed
marked ability and Dreyfuss paid out his
money for the player's release. Yesterday
Donohue saved Pittsburg from l>eing shut
out by smashing out a trtple with the bags
full. Is It any wonder that Pittsburg has
a good club?

At the National Sporting Club, London,
last evening "Charlie" McKeever, welter
weight, of Philadelphia, defeated Dido
Plumb of London in the fifteenth round.
McKeever was declared a winner on
points. He was somewhat nervous, as the
occasion was his first appearance in Eng
land, but, although the full fifteen rounds
were fought, he was virtually a victor from
the eighth.
George Considine, the New York sporting
man, who witnessed the contest?the first
he had seen in England?said at Its con
clusion that he had been greatly Impressed
by the orderly conduct of the affair and
the absolute power whlcb the referee ex
ercised over the contestants, who are not
permitted to hit after being ordered to
break away.He said he would Introduce this
reform in the United States.
The Sportsman, which describes McKee
ver as "more of a boxer than a fighter,"
saj's: "He quite upheld his wonderful repu
tation and finished almost as fresh as he
started. His blows lacked the sting that
might have been expected from his weight;
otherwise Plumb would have been beaten
to a standstill in half a dozen rounds."
