New York. June 26 L N. S.) A
tittle snub-nosed Irish kid ferried a
net of tackle on his arm as he wended
his way to the scales belowi the-steward's
stand -at the Acqueduct race
course today. Walking from the track.
up tne two steps and then to the scales,
the kid wore a smile that bid every
thing but bis ear and he- toddled along
as If he were stepping in clouds, for
hadn't he . won the great - Brooklyn
handicap with Tartar? Sure" he had
and that ' is why Johnny McTaggart.
the kid in Question, Is about the hap
piest youth on this side of the world.
Only one kid can win a Brooklyn hand
icap In a year and even if be does not
win many J other big f. events Vhe'a: a
handicap winner and those riders are
the ones that go down in turf nistory.
Hot onlyi did McTaggart : with-Tartar,
take the great Borrow, the fleet
Roamer, the highly touted Sam Mc
Meekln, Rockview and the speed mar
vel. Addle M., into camp, but he also
cut the track record of '1:52 for the
mile and a furlong down to 1:50 3-6.
That's something in itself.
This year the handicap, route was
changed from a one and i a quarter
mile course to, the one and ; one-eighth
for the simple reason that the start
could be made under-better conditions.
Now that we have said that Tartar
and AfcTaggart won .the ' classic, : It
might be In good ; form "to say that
Roamer f inished second a length back
and , a nose in front . of Borrow, the
Kentucky handicap winner. . As for
the others in the race, they're hardly
worth mentioning . except Addle M.,
who tried her best for a good part of
the trip but she was In too fast com
pany. 1 - - -
- Fifteen thousand saw the race. There
was little delay at the post.' Dugran on
Rockview was the most alert and was
two lengths in front when they cleared
the chute and started, up the back
stretch, i Suddenly Roamer shot.4,up,
passed the Belmont colt and took the
lead. Past the half they tore with
Roamer three lengths ahead of Addle
M. and Tartar Toward the ; distant
end of the back stretch there waa no
shifting about except from the trail
ers. They swirled past the mile mark
in 1:38 and the ' old timers began to
sit up and take notice. Reamer was
still digging away like a Trojan, Then
the thrill that accompanies . all big
events, started its mercurial gyrations
for Butwell started to touch Roamer,
with the old lash; St was necessary,
for there was a." finish line only 15
yards away but there also; was those
thundering hoof beats that, scare any
rider who is out for the glory. At the
quarter : the end of .: Roamer; , was
reached. ' Right at. his .nose strap,
fightfng ifor . stride was ' the llght
wlj5hted44rrta McTaggart iust making the lash sing.
A good horse can do a lot but not the
Impossible : and Inch by inch Roamer
moved rearward with Tartar getting
closer and closer to the line. A six

Automobile Eacer
: Terribly Injured
San Jose. CaU June 26. (I. S.)
Harold Ball, an automobile racer who
was entered In the Vanderbilt - and
Grand-Prix races at the exposition,
was frightfully and ; perhaps fatally
injured this afternoon ? while : pacing
several amateur riders who are. to par
ticipate in a race meet here tomorrow.
Hall was rlQing a motorcycle- and mak
ing a mile a minute, when he lost con
trol of the machine and struck the in
side bank of the track. ; '
Hall was thrown more than ten feet
in the air and landed on an upturned
harrow by . the side of the track. The
motorcycle fell on top of Hall and Its
weight forced a number of sharp, teeth
worry.
'X;
For the Seals, Bodie and Heilman 'did
a lot of hitting, and B vans -was not
much of a puzsle. But they could not
connect up -with enough runs to make
any impression against the grand total
piled up by the Beavers, i
As has ; been before remarked, ' the
Seals stNl lead the league.
And .just as.lpng as they. stick up
there, the horns should toot and the
hammers stay in.th tool chest.

that happened to tba Oakland lub are
too numerous to- record. Suffice it to
say that Elmer Martinoni was slugged
for 11 hits and Alex Remneas for 11
more, making a total, of 1 22, a large
percentage of which was two base hits
and triples. Howard Gregory, again
proved himself Oakland's nemesis. HeJ
allowed only four : bits. In the first
six Innings only one safe blow was reg
istered against , him,' - but , in Vthree of
the six innings he was in boiling water
on account of bases on balls 'and bit
batsmen. . " -
Then never was a cloud so black but
that it had a silver lining. Thus It
was 'that there was small comfort in
today's game for Oakland. The big
gest and best thing that happened to
the Oaks was that Jack Ness registered
his twenty-eighth bltful game, tying
the record of Chet Chadbourne. The-
other was the home run slammed out
by Lou Xltschi in the seventh for Oak
land's only tally. Lou had the added
distinction of being the second man

,K;, a) In winning Chicago's
first: 600 mile race -today on the two
mile board oval at 0 May wood at an
average speed, of 97.58 miles an hour,
Darius Resta, an Italian by birth and
an Englishman by adoption, accom
plished what was considered impossible
a month ago to beat the five century
mark of 89.84 miles an hour made, by
De Palma on the Indianapolis track.
Hesta not only turned the trick,' but
the nine others who finished n the
money, made the De Palma record re-'
eemble a snail's pace, ? comparatively

easily was the class of .the field, which
included 21 cars of international repu
tation, leading most of the way and
always in the front van. ,"
''Wins Extra by Long Lead.
Only for a, short time was he forced
to trail, that being around the first
century 'mark, -which was turned : by
Earl Cooper in a 4 Stuta, who. earned
$1000 thereby. . Resta, leading at 200,
300. and 400 miles, pulled down $3000
extra to the 120,000 puree for winning
the race.. Always having the speed; ot

more than 3 minutes to spare over Por

' Blany Surprises Bpmng. y
Motordbm - was surprised ' in 1 "more
than one vwayr today. 4While Jt had
been expected the record would go and
the winner do about 95-no one counted
on anything like vT.68. But from the
very outset it was a ding-dong: battle
with -old Father "Time, as 'was phown
when Pofporato , did" 104 ' mlleB In the
first hdhr, close -indeed to the world's
record for the distance. Then the drir
er. found -this terrific ' pace was-pro
ductive of considerable. tire. trouble, so
they slowed a bit thereafter and the
caain&s gave- little : trouble rthen..
Then the critics had predicted that
on this new board - track the engines
would not stand the gruelling arrfnd
because they ; would be running : wide
open continuously. Again . they were
forced to eat "their words, for. there
was little evidence of this. . There
fore the critics are of the opinion
that a wood track is the fastest sur
face in " the world - and also that the
modern, automobile engine will stand
any kind of punishment to which it
may he put. .
- . Kaoe Opens Maw Speedway.
The race today marked the opening
of the new speedway which has been
built in 40 days. - Despite threatening
weather m. crowd of 80,000 turned out
It did not rain though, and theool
weather is one of tne reasons ; the
record was broken so badly.
. The race was remarkably free from
accidents. -There -was only one thrill
and that was When Chevrolet, in a
Delage, skidded into the guard ' rail
in the home etretch, turning half way
around.- Also the race was devoid of
sensations and incidents because of
Resta's great driving . and the speed
of his -car. - . .
Only three cars were scratched the

- ' " 7 By Frank O. Menke.
., New fork, June 18. -So many "bear"
stories have ' come from out of the
camps of, the five big crews at Pough
keepsle that the real situation is some
what obscured and some big surprises
may be looked for when the Hudson
river battles are staged on Monday.
Columbia seems to be a slight fa
vorite for the big varsity race not so
much because Columbia is far superior
to the four other crews but largely
because the Columbia ' "bear , story,"
manufacturer has not been turning
out such pitiful sounding stuff as his
rivals.
' Cornell and Syracuse taklnor it from
some of the early stories, ought to be
oDjects xor the humane society. Syra
cuse, we have been told, has no varsity
crew tjajt is, not a varsity crew of
varsity standard. The. eight men who
maxe up the crew are to be pitied,
Some are .suffering from spavin, one
or two nave broken backs, another has
lost an arm, or two, and the balance
have locomotor ataxia ' or something
like that, according to some of the
Syracuse stories.
But its a fairly safe bet that the
bunch of Syracuse "cripples'" will te
considerably among; those present from
the time the starting gun is fired until
the finish line lies in the wake of tbe
winning boat.
Vise Ones Bee Cornell.
" Charles Courtney, the Cornell row
ing wizard, has been pictured as tear?
ing bis hair and on the point of eating
Paris green because of his "despair"
over the Cornell varsity boating. Cor
nell, some folks have -told us, hasn't
any more chance of winning the bit?
varsity event than Kaiser Bill has of
dining at King George's house to
morrow evening, But the wise folks
will keep their optics on Cornell -and
many of them will bet on Cornell with
a fair chance of winning.
It is true that the 1915 Cornell var
sity boat contains only one veteran
from the 1914 varsity.- But Courtney
can take a likely looking fresble and
make. an expert oarsman out ot him in
a year so it can be seen that the lack
of veterans doesiyt , necessarily lessen
uorneii s cnances.
True, Cornell was beaten by Tale
on May 15 in the Princeton regatta
and again . on -May 23 by Harvard on
its own Navy 'Day doings. . But this
thing should : be remembered: These
races were short "ones.- They weren't
over a four mile etretch, and it is in
the long races those that call for iron
nerve and the limit- of human endur
ance, that Courtney's crews . usually
are the peer, of any outfit that pulls
an oar. -:':.f' J . V
Penny "Will Bear Watching,
"Watch Pennsylvania!" is the tip
that is being passed out to those with
betting instincts. ' Pennsy surely will
bear watching, last 'year few folks
watched Pennsylvania until Pennsyi.
vania shot along like a rifle bullet
in the last half mile and by its amaz
ing spurt nearly overhauled the win
ning Columbia outfit.
Pennsylvania was considered a rank
outsider last year, but It won't be
such when the crews float up to the
starting line this year. The Pennsy
crew will be heavily backed in the bet
ting and probably will be second choice.
Pennsy has a crew this year that look
better -than ; the 1914' crew and that
1914 crew was quite a crowd.
. Iceland Stanford, the fifth entrant
in the varsity classic, is the '"dark
horse." And because it Is the "dark
horse" and because it won't have an
abundance of alumni or undergrad
uates here to root for" it, it probably
will be the favorite of the crowd that
has no affiliations with the four other
colleges.
: The California squad bas shewn
some real speed in the few workouts
it bas bad since arriving in camp at
Pougbkeepele. It is a powerful crew
one of the huskiest - that ever was
boated. It pulls a beautiful stroke,
with mighty power, and if It isn't
stricken with stage fright, it might
have a fighting chance for victory.
v Colombia Evea Against Tield. '
The chances are that Columbia -will
be the favorite for the varsity race
with the betting at even muey on Co
lumbia against the field. .But there is
a large possibility that before Mon
day morning a shift In sentiment may
come and Columbia may be pushed out
of tbe favorite's position by Cornell or
Pennsylvania. , '
Cornell bas the best position for the
varsity race No. 6 which is the fifth
position from shore and out near the
center of the channel where it is free
from eddies. .:i;fsv
Inland Stanford bas entered only a
varsity crew but the four other col
leges each have entered boats In the
freshman eight oared and the Junior
varsity eight oared races that will pre
cede the big battle. Those races will
be rowed around about 8:30 to 4:30 in
the afternoon. The. big .Varsity will be
rowed about 6 p. m. 1 '-' '
The two early races ought" to fur
nish some real thrills. Cornell, Colum
bia . and Pennsylvania, all have som e
great oarsmen among the freshies and
juniors and the Syracuse squadi may
surprise the folks by making tnose
two battle four cornered affairs.
