Young- Douglas Nicol, riding Natt McDougall's Lord Lawrence in the three-eighths mile dash atv catch weights, was In the home stretch and going strong, when his saddle began to slide. The result was that he was thrown heavily to the ground. He got right up, but on reaching the paddock he went Into a dizzy spell, and he was attended by two physicians. After a half hour's rest he was reported to be ready for another spill. The other accident happened during the junior Jumpers' performances, when Paul McCusker's pony bolted and started for the fence. Paul Jumped and lit on his back, but it did not seem to bother him. He laid there for a few seconds and then got up. Honors were divided in the feature numbers. Tony Faust and his son, Louis Lachmund, each defeated the other during the afternoon. Milton Barber, which was figured strongly, was able to get a third, but he was scratched In the other meeting. Ralph W.

A carload of yearling brook trout from the state hatchery at Bonneville was received here yesterday and placed In the streams about Sheridan that are noted for their angling possibilities.

PETE STANDRIDGE, of the Angels, leads the Coast League pitchers In wins and losses, and yet Pete's Job is holding on by a mere thread. Fete hurt his arm some weeks ago and Johnny Powers is Just about ready to let him go. The former Seal has won seven out of nine. Smith, the San Francisco Indian who tried to toma hawk Dan Murray recently, ranks sec ond with six wins in eight starts. Smith must have improved wonder fully since he tried to break In with Portland two years ago. All of which proves, that nobody can tell how pitchers are going to develop merely by watching them In Spring training. Pitching percentages up to the pres ent series follow; Pitcher Club w.

PECK IDOL OF EAST Former Beaver Enjoying His Biggest Season in New York. STICK WORK IS GREATEST Wonderful Batting and Fielding Ability Makes Peckinpaugh Most Valuable Player of Yanks Big Machine. Roger Peckinpaugh has become the idol of the Yankee fans in New York. "Peck." as he is called by the sport ing writers of the East, Is enjoying his biggest season. The ex-Portland Beaver is fielding in wonderful fashion, as well as hitting them hard'. Last Tuesday and Wednesday Peck handled 20 chances without an error, but a wild throw marred a perfect average. During the first three weeks of the campaign the Yanks were winning reg ularly, though the players looked upon as heavy hitters were having little success with the stick. Peckinpaugh was getting his hits regularly, and Donovan remarked early in May, while his team was crowding the leaders, that the Yanks probably would be in the second division if Peck had not been coming through with his hits. Peck hit safely in 13 of the first 15 games of the season, and was far ahead of all the other Yanks with the stick. . Apparently Peck Is off on another batting rampage, for In the last nine games he has been poking them at a .412 clip, getting 14 hits for a total of 18 bases. Peck had a batting slump which pulled him down to .240 for the season, but now he Is hitting tit .275 and going better every day. Combining his stick work with his wonderful fielding ability, Peckinpaugh is the most valuable player of the Yanks' machine. His hit-killing stunts have been seen so often at the Polo Grounds that they are no longer re garded as being out of tse ordinary. Although the league is full of high class shortstops. Peck has no superior in going far back for batted balls and throwing his man out at first. Peckinpaugh is only one of the clever shortstops that - McCredie has sent to the big tent. Ivan Olson and Dave Ban croft are both ex-Beavers, and both are big assets to their teams. Allen Sothoron. who graduated from the Beavers to Fielder Jones' St. Louis team, showed the fans Sunday that he has the courage of a lion. When Soth oron went into the Spring training camps with the Browns, Fielder Jones acclaimed him one of the greatest pros pects of the year, and predicted that Allen would rank with the greatest twirlers In the game." Whether the Fielder Is right or not about Sothoron, the 30.000 fans who saw the Yanks lose to St. Louis Sunday by a 2-to-l score give Allen credit for having big-league courage. For four Innings Sothoron held the Yanks at his mercy, only one batter reaching first base, and he never went any farther. In the fifth Inning Soth oron found himself on second base and Ernie Johnson on third, with Bert Shotten at bat. Shotten had gone out twice on Infield hits, but this time lifted a fly to short right that Tim Hendryx couldn't reach. It fell safely for a base hit. Johnson scoring standing up. Sothoron stopped at third, and then, thinking he could score, started for home, but changed his mind when halfway down the line and started back for third. Al Walters had received the peg at home, and when he shot the ball at Baker at third it never reached its mark. The pellet struck Sothoron In the back of the head, caroming into the Infleld, and Allen slid safely Into third. Allen was knocked cold for five min utes, and when he came to he was still groggy. When Sothoron took his place on the mound he was still affected by the blow and walked Miller on five pitched balls. He started to pass Baker, but the home run king fouled out. Peckinpaugh hit one to Jimmy Austin, who pulled- a circus catch and forced out Miller. Walters then walked, and with Cald well at bat he pulled himself together, and, with the help of Sisler, managed to retire the side. During the last five Inning he was In distress, yet he fal tered only once. Sothoron struck out six men during the game, four of them whirling after Chubby Al had been hit. Jones may be kidding when he com pared Sothoron with Ed Walsh, Walter Johnson and Joe Wood, but If his com parison means garaeness, he certainly can go on boosting the boy.
