Hlllsboro. Or, Aug. 1. Th final
events of the two days' warrnlng-up
races wore run off here thin afternoon
lii-fura n crowd of the leading horsemen
und sport lovers of this part of the
btate. 1'Ortlund wai represented by sev
eral hundred of her lending horsemen,
und some fine speed contests were ne
gotiated during the afternoon. th track,
being In none too food shape for clussy
performances.
Great Interest was taken In the first
event on the card, the unfinished 2:15
trot, which wus postponed from yester
day, with Johnny K., the Montana racer,
owned by the Kuster-Erwln people, car
rying off the opening heat In 2:26 fiat.
The first heat of this event this aft
ernoon resulted In a dead heat, with
Johnny K. and Elma O., I. 1. Chap-
palle's mare, going under the wire nose
and nose In 2 -1.
In th next heat Johnny K. showed
superior form and won out In the bent
time of the race. Ills time was 2:21 H.
Th next event was the 2:27 trot.
First heat Bramford Boy first. Dr.
Ullman second, Catherine Kimball third;
time. 2:28H.
Second heat Dr. Ullman first, Bram
ford Boy sweond, Catherine Kimball
third'; time, 2:27.
Third heat-JJr. Ullman first, Cather
ine Kimball second, Bramford Boy
third; tlms, 2.8 2.
The orowd went wild over the per
formance of Pr. Ullman, the winner of
this event. He displayed grand form
and his manner has never before been
equaled On the local track. He Is as
yet scarcely acclimated, having been
brought out here from Denver by Mr.
Chappelle only three weeks ago, and
may be regarded as a rather raw horso
for a 3-year-old. His staying qualities
and his perfect machine-like movement
made Jilm the favorite from the start.
Iowa Boy won the free-for-all pace
In straight heats, there being; but two
entries. The winner and Estabelle. Iowa
Boy, however, was forced to equal his
race record of 2:17U In the second heat,
the plucky little mare forcing him to
the limit all the way.
The first heat was reeled off In 2:21H.
and the second In 2 : 1 7 Vi - It was an ex
ceedingly pretty fight all round the
mile course, the gameness of Estabelle
winning almost as much applause as
the winner.
College Maid, the "guldoless pacer,"
was next sent out for another exhibi
tion and showed her form by equaling
her world's record of 2:09x In this class.
She paced the mile In that time without
effort, and when rounded by a runner
at the quarter she was well under way
on the second mile, and was as fresh
us at the start. Horsemen who watched
this performance predict a mark of
2: Oil for her before the season Is over, i

equalling- his record of the previous

Casey's first score, coming as it did
right off the reel, served to instill con

Garrett pitched a marvelous game,
considering his condition. The little

(J'ntten Press Leased Wire.)
Chicago. Aug. 1. L.-H. Waldner of
Chicago, by defeating Charles S. Peters
In the finals of the tennis tournament
at the Kenwood country club this af
ternoon, won the right to contest next
Monday with Nat Emereon, title-holder,
for the western championship.
Waldner and Emerson, who were to
have played Peters and Walter Hayes
for tho championship doubles, won. by
default, Peters declining to enter tho
match after his defeat by Waldner In
the, singles.
Waldner and Emerson will therefore
represent the west In the matches at
the Crescent Athletic club. Now Yark,
t He winners of which will play Alex
ander and Hackett at Newport for the
Championship of the United States.
Waldner won his match from Peters
In rather hollow fashion, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.
6-1. In the opening set Waldner vns off
form and could not manage Peters
drives, the latter taking the set easily.
In the second set, however. Waldner
i eoovered and played Peters off his
feet. After that Peters seemed to lose
heart and Waldner had no difficulty
In taking the match.
The challenge round of the women's
singles for the western championship
between Miss Carrie Heeley and Miss
M Irian Stever will be played Monday.
Trie Bt. Louis Nationals don't look to

HORSE TALK AND BASEBALL
The National league race this season
Is one grand upset In baseball calcula
tions. The two youngsters, Wlllett and Sum
mers, are pitching great ball for De
troit. It is evident that Manager Oaniel of
Cincinnati was alive when he held on
to Fltcher Spade.
All of the western teams looked alike
to the Boston Americans during the last
stay of the Red Sox at home.
The Brooklyn team got such a bad
start In tho spring that their good play
ing later In tho season counts for little.
The Pittsburg Pirates are making a
hard fight for the pennant and iook to
have an even chance of copping it. '
Pitcher Herhst of the New Haven
team recently pitched and won a double
header, one game of 16 and the other of
nine innings.
Now that the western teams of the
American league are playing at home
they doubtless will cinch the first four
positions in the league standing.
There Is not an infield In the countrv
playing better ball at present than
Jones. Williams, Wallace and Ferris of
the St. Louis Browns.
The Eastern league has two new
managers, Schafly. who succeeded
Kelly at Toront... and Hollv at Roches
ter, where Al Buckenberger was pilot
for several years.
Manager Mullaney, whose Jackson
ville team is making a runaway of the
South Atlantic league race, was given
.I'',K ?eno(!!t rerpntlv, which netted the
Old Scout a tub full of money
championship of the coast last year.
In the first Inning of the great game
Vancouver batted first and made 70
runs for the side. In Portland's first
Inning the locals made 61 runs.
Vancouver went to bat In the second
and when the hard hitting ten pnded
their onslaught the Cnnndlnnn had bat
ted in 82 runs. Portland went to bat
in the 1'ist half of the second with n
lead of 92 runs tn overcome and only
1 hour and 20 minutes to niako up this
advantage in. toth teams hiving agreed
at the start to call the game at 7 p. m
To win the game Portland had to es
tobllsh a record but the locals w.ere
eiual to the tHsk and In a spectacular
finish In tho last minute of time the
henvy hitting Webfeet landed on the
ball for the winning score, taking the
gamo by a narrow margin of three
points. .
The most brilliant hatting exhibition
ever seen In the northwest was given bv
Gregg and Shipley of ho Oregon team.
They each batted the ball clear out of
the lot, making the highest single pcore
that can be made In one hit, six points.
This correspoiids to the home run in
baseball. "The stars for Vancouver were
Clinton and Jukes.
The final score was Portland, 155;
Vancouver. 152.
Vancouver won a loose! v plaved game
Friday by a score of 168 to 1.18. Van

One question the fans of the whole
country always like tu talk, over who Is
the greatest ball player?
Xot the greatest batter, th greatest
fielder or the greatest base runner, but,
taking all departments of play and
throwing them In together, who excels
uhovo all others, day In and day out.
whose work does more than any other
111, in. s in wlnnillK games.
l.ajol used to be "it." His only rival
was Hans Wagner, and unprejudiced
critics In the. National leag-ue admitted
that the graceful Frenchman had some
thing on the stocky German as an all-1
around player.
I'p to a couple of years ago there was
no doubt of Eajole's supremacy. Not
only wns he the most wonderful fielder
ever seen, but he also lined the bail
out, dnv after day, with a vigor that
made him a terror to every pitcher he
faced. During his career In Philadelphia
and In his early years with Cleveland
ha was a "slugger" comparable only to
Ed Uelehanty.
Hut the Eajole of today Is not the
Eajole of old. He has slowed up on the
bases, his errors are inoro frequent, and
he no longer pushes the ball out on e
line as he used to. Managerial worries
have reduced ft once marvelous player
to the level of the ordinary topnotchers
In the American league.
Hans Wagner lias hud no worries, man-
agerlai or otherwise, to pull him flown.
He Just plays bull. Ha Is still a mlghtv
sluggei', a star fielder, a terror on the
bases. He wanted to jult baseball last
spring, but so great was tho outory
from nil baseballdorn, and so much did
his loss mean to the Pittsburg team,
that Harney Dreyfuss, president of the
club, personally went to Wagner and
besought him to stick. He did, and ha
Is playing the game of his life.
Meanwhile, In the American league,
has arisen a new star one that will be
shining brightly when that of the
mighty Wagner has set. Today It is a,
question which Is tha mora brilliant
Wagner or Cobb.
Ty Cobb demon batsman, demon basj
runner and wonderful fielder of the De
troit Americans, Is only 22 years old.
Ho Is the fastest man In the American
league. He la hitting at a terrific clip.
He la as graceful as a deer and es
strong as a lion. He was a sensation
last year, ho ft a marvel now.
Retween Hans and Ty Cobb there Is
little to choose. Their hitting, thtdr
base running, their fielding are about
even. Just two drawbacks has Cobb a
quick temper and a tendency to "swelled
head." Sometimes- he Is reckless on
the bases and makes a fool of himself.
If be can eliminate, these faults and
takes care of himself nothing can stop
Cobb from being ths undoubted star of
the baseball firmanent within th next
two or threa years.
