After having apparently lost yesterday's
game, when the Angels had amassed four
runs to our nought, the home guard start
ed some tall doing In the sixth chapter
and tallied six runs, which tied up, sealed
and delivered the game to the local club.
Of course, a Garrison finish of this kind.
is the most pleasing to the fans, and the
demonstration they set up when the
Giants had batted Dolly Gray for five hits
and enough runs to tie the score was
deafening, and when Spider Baum was
called upon to relieve Cray, who was
plainly up against it, they cut loose with
more noise of the ear-splitting variety,
which was Intended to rattle the new
twlrler. In this effort they were partially
successful, for a pass to Cates and a
dumb play by Cap Dillon allowed two
more runs for the locals.
The old Tollable Van Buren was the
first man up in tills Inning, and initiated
the swatfest by slashing a single to cen
ter. Fleming helped matters considerably
by lacing a two-bagger to right garden.
Mike Mitchell bounced one down toward
third and reached first without hindrance.
Van scoring on the swat. Schlafly caught
one on the beak, and the Spalding trav
eled like a shot to left center, where it
eluded the grapplers of Artie Boss and
Fleming, and Mitchell registered. Captain
Larry getting three bases for the tap.
Dillon called the Infield in, and House
holder hit over the angelic leader's head,
scoring Schlafly, with the tying run.
Baum was then sent out on the hllL Mc
Lean drove one at a mlle-a-mlnute rate
through the tooth carpenter at third, and
Hoffman's poke to the pitcher forced Ed
die at, third.- Ely Cates went In to bat
for Jones, and secured a pass, filling the
bags. Atz singled to center and McLean
6cored. Van Buren hit one to Dillon, who
must have liked the looks of the sphere,
for while he stood gazing at the ball in
his hands Hoffman scored, and Van
reached first for the second time in the
inning. Fleming's tap to Flood forced
Cates at the plate, and Mitchell ended
the inning by striking out
Previous to this, the Angels had secured
four runs. In the first Inning, Jud Smith
hit a long one to left that Fleming failed
to get under, and the ball bounded be
tween the partitions of the fence, netting
Jud a home run.
In the second, Brashear made the first
of his three two-baggers, and scored on a
sacrifice by Cravath and a fielder's choice.
Gray's two-bagger, Bernard's sacrifice and
an out gave the Angels another in the
third.
Flood's infield hit. Smith's double and
Schlafly's error netted them their fourth
run in the sixth, and the last tally was
registered in the eighth on Atz's error
and Brashear's third two-sackor.
Cates relieved Jones in the seventh and
pitched fine ball, as had the southpaw in
the earlier inning, but the visitors were
-lucky, and although they scored but few
hits, they were secured at tho right time.
Yesterday's game witnessed the largest
Saturday crowd of the season, and today
promises to be a record-breaking Sunday,
for, with the home team playing at a
winning gait, the fans will turn put In
force. Will Esslck win pitch for Portland,

innings, but after that the visitors were

BIG EVENT TO TORONTO
Argonauts Cross the Line n Scant
Ten Feet Ahead of Nassaus In
the Senior Eight - dnr

BALTIMORE. Aug. 12. Many a pretty
costume was sacrificed en the altar to
Neptune this afternoon, the Mcond day
of the ,33d annual regatta of the National
Association of Amateur Oarsmen. With
in the three hours covered by the pro
gramme the elements ran the gamut.
A few minutes before 3 o'clock the
weather was beautiful. A few minutes
after that hour the crowd of 25.000 or 30,000
spectators were scurrying for -shelter
from a rainstorm of almost tropical vio
lence. Within an hour this had passed
and the races were rowed under clear
pkles and on water as smooth as a mill
pond, nor did It seem that any of the
spectators failed to return.
They were well repaid, for the racing
was superb and a new record was estab
lished In the senior olght-oarod shells,
the Argonauts, of Toronto, crossing the
line not more than ten fet ahead of tho
Nassaus, of New York, their time oelng

NERVE OF MEN' WHO RIDE
RUNNING RACES
Recklessness Is Necessary, but It Sometimes
Gives Way to Common-sense in Emergencies
IN no other calling jn the world, per
haps Is a preponderance of reckless
ness so nccossary or valuable as In
the race rider's. One is not to Infer
from this, however, that recklessness
alone Is a synonym for greatness, or
that that attribute alone will bring a
Jockey high up In tho percentage col
umn at the end of the year; but It is a
notorious fact that the grcatsct pig
skin artists have not been lacking
in it or the disposition to use it at tho
proper time, and that with Its depart
ure has departed to a great extent the
fame that came with It
Absence of recklessness does not
necessarily mean absence of nerve,
eays a writer In the New York Sun.
Men may have plenty of nerve and yet
be without a particle of recklessness,
although In racing parlance the two
tilings mean about the same. Once a
boy refusos to "take a chance" and
squeeze into a hole near the rail,
thereby losing what might prove of
inestimable advantage, straightway
impression goos abroad that he has
"lost his nerve," when he has mcroly
exercised what -would would be con
sidered pretty good common sense on
the part of a man claiming to be pos
sessed of that commodity. And honco
It soems to be pretty generally un
derstood among horsemen that when a
boy "gets old enough to have sense"
he Is too old to be a star rldor.
There are only three ways In which
sense ever gets to be a part of the
equipment of a jockey. One is to be
born with It, and in the opinion of
some horsemen no boy with sense ever
gets to be a groat rider. As they put
It, "lie becomes a great rldor and then
he gets old enough to have sense and
then he's no good." That's tho socond
way.
The third way, .and some say tho
surest Is for the boy to got a had
fall in the progress of a race. If he
gets It as the result of "taking a long
chance," it is supposed to increase the
efficacy. For Instance, a boy Is astride
one of 'the leaders In a heartbreaking
flve-furlong sprint. He Is lying about
third, perhaps, and as the two In front
of him tear madly along until they
come to tho turn Into the stretch, he
begins to figure on how far out they
will swing, and instinctively he takes
up his mount a little preparatory to
skinning the rail and having the ln
sldo path on the run down the wire.
Perhaps he takes up his-horse a trifle
too much and loses a littlo ground:
perhaps he miscalculates the speed of
the leaders: perhaps well, a dozen
things might hapen'to upset his plans.
At all events, as ho urges his horse to
the fence one of the wide-swinging
leaders commences to bear in. Hid
Jockey's Idea Is to get that ooveted rail
himself. At this Instant there is some
quick thinking necessary on tho part
of both boys. Shall they both persist
or shall one give way? One must give
way eventually, for no two horses ever
held a rail at the same time In the
same spot. Prudence would Impel the
boy on the insido to pull up, the reck
less spirit pulls the other way and he
tries to get his horse through a hole
that a -grown-up' man would swear a
cat couldn't turn around In. His horse
Is traveling at the rate of about 54
feet a second, the other horse ranges
alongside and humps him slightly, his
horse crosses his forefeet and down he
goes.
When that boy gets out of the hospi
tal, if ever he does get out. and sits
on a bench in the sunshine for the first
time, he begins a system of figuring.

such problem as was presented before,
which led to such disaster, he remem

so bad n3.the other boy, and he lets
him have It. f
A few years ago, at Gravese'nd, a
horse ridden by Shaw, then in -.-the
i height of- his career as a rider, was In
the center of a bunch of horses right
' in the mlddlo of the track. There did
not seem to be any crowding partlcu-
larly, although It was a big field. Sud
denly Shaw's mount went down, and it
looked as if half a dozen horses went
rrght over him. A group of trainers
heaved sighs of relief as Shaw got up
and walked to the outer rail, little tho
worse for wear.
''He's nil right," said one trainer.
"Yes," said another, "but I'll bet ten
dollars you won't catch him in a field
like that for a couple of weeks."
This remark led to some discussion,
and the terms of the bet, as finally ar
ranged, were that Shaw would not take
a mount In a race for a week in which
more than seven horses were engaged.
The proposer of the bet cashed It.
On another occasion nt Gravcsend
one of J. G. Follansbee's horses, a mare
named Golden Grain, won a race by as
daring a piece of horsemanship as has
been seen on a racetrack in some
time. Beauchamp wns riding her.and
had landed her in third position as
the turn Into the stretch was reached.
As commonly happens, tho horses in
front of him swung wide, and he urged
his mare a trifle to get ready to take
the rail. At this Instant a horse rid
den by Winnie O'Connor ranged along
side of him. but on -the outside, and tho
horses in the lead commenced to swing
in toward the rail. They wore not far
from it at the time Beauchamp made
. his move. As every one knows, win-
; nice O'Connor never was accused of
; bflshfulness or over-caution on an oc-
caslon of the kind presented to Beau-
champ, but It seems, from his state-
ments in the paddock after the race.
that even he would have refused the
chance had he been In BeaUchamp's
place.
"1 saw what ho was about." said
O'Connor, "and I snid to him: You
aln t going In there are you? That's
where I'm going. ho says, and In he
goes and cops the race. Not for mine."
It is not of record that Beauchamp
j.has ever had any serious accidents as
, yet. - and It Is of course to be hoped
that he will 'not, but If he ever does
j have a bad fall It will probably have tho
effect of checking his impetuosity for
some time to como. If not permanently.
! In 1S95 or 1897 Marty Bergen was
I riding on the California tracks, and
was the nroud possessor of a beast
l namea fecKsnlff. Pecksniff never
amounted to anything even with Mar
, ty riding, and he was far from a bad
I rider th6n. although of later years his
star has become somewhat dimmed
One day a friend of Bergen's Jocularly
remarked that he thought Pecksniff
might win a race if Martin would civa
I tne mount to somebody "who could
i ride, as he expressed It. Bergen took
the chaffing In good part, and the mat
ter nroppea for at least half an hour.
. Suddenly he reverted to the subject
again in the following language:

And that Is perhaps as good an ex
planation as1 could bo given of. why
some boys lose their form and drop
from the star class down Into the
ranks of the mediocres. In Bergen's
case it was simply that he had grown
older and that with years had como a
disinclination to tako his life In his
nanas. There wns a time when he
would have done it, but that was when
he was coming, not going. Success
sometimes brings reflection on tho
methods of its achievement, even on
tne part of others; years bring wis
dom. and many things beget lndiffcr
ence; all of which conduce to the start
for the "has-been" class: but if there
Is anything which will moke a surer
ana more artistic Job of It than a fall
which keeps a boy out of the saddle
for a couple of weeks, it remains. In
the opinion of vast numbers of people
who ought to know, yet to be discov
