HYPHEN RUNS DISAPPOINTING RAGE. Son of Himyar and Semaphore Fails to Win in Slow Company. MAY BE ANOTHER COUNTERFEIT. Had Hot Fully Recovered, Perhaps, Prom Hard Race in the Foxhall Stakes. Two of the most disappointed men on the race track yesterday were Frank Farrell and Tom Welch, respectively the owner and trainer of Bonnlhert.

So confident was the former that his 3 year old would win the Sea Gate stakes that he wagered $4,000 on him, while Welch also had a good sized commission oa the colt and also advised all his friends to back him. In direct contrast to Farrell and Welch was Jim Brady, "Diamond Jim," as he is familiarly known. After Gold Heels had defeated Bonnibert, Brady was as elated as a school boy, for, while Gold Heels runs in the name of F. C. McLewee, Brady owns the greater share in the colt.

In fact, it is said that Brady furnished most of the money laid out in the stable. As the Brady commission amounted to $5,000 and the stake was worth $2,675, In addition he was perhaps justified in his elation oversold Heels' victory. Either Hyphen is a counterfeit or else he has not recovered from his hard race in the Foxhall stakes of Saturday last. In that race his performance was such a good one that he was a natural 1 to 2 shot and that price was accepted with avidity by players in general. On Saturday Hyphen had carried 115 pounds, eleven more than he carried yesterday, and, in addition, the field which opposed him yesterday was much Inferior in quality to that of the previous race.

The size of the field was also much smaller, and. as Hyphen is a Very slow beginner, it was thought that he would have difficulty In landing the purse. Off in front, while, on the other occasions on which he has started, he has been with CHAMPIONS SCOR FIRST SHU Kitson Blarks the Giants Despite the Presence of "Matty" in the Box.

Cincinnati at Chicago. It remained for Frank Kitson to achieve the dictinction of pitching the Brst shut out victory scored by the Champions this season! Othef Brooklyn pitchers have come within a run of the coveted honor, but the trick was Jlot pulled off until yesterday! Not alone did Kitson whitewash the New Torks, but he pitched so superb a game that only one hit was made off his delivery! This was a mere scratch, credited to Algy Kltson's glove and was deflected toward left Photo by Gardner Co.) Pitcher Prank Kitson. Tvno Scored the First Shut out of the Season for the Champions Yesterday. field. Dahlen pounced in and caught it in his hand, but in such a position that he was unable to throw it accurately to first.

Had Kits'on let the ball alone, either Daly or Dahlen would have smothered it. But for this, the Giants would have been blanked without a hit and Kitson would have duplicated the record made by Malthewison against St. Louis a couple of weeks ago! Still, Kitson's achievement was practically as good as that of Matthewson. He used a beautiful drop, which the Giants could not touch, while his speedy shoots and curves were equally effective. Not a New York player reached third baoe during the game and only two reached second.

But six saw firat base, Ave being sent there by the free pass route and the sixth on the scratch hit already referred to. Only once did the Giants have a reasonable chance to score. That was in the fourth. when, with one out, Kitson sent Davis and Selhach to first on balls. Under a cross fire of jeers and yells from the crowd, Kitson pulled himself together splendidly and the next two batsmen popped up weak fouls to the infield.

Two men were out in the first when Mc Bride made his scratch hit and Davis died 'on a liner to Sheckard. In the second, again, with two hand? out, Hickman got free transportation, but Warner proved easy on a fly to Daly. In the third, fifth and sixth, the Giants went out in order. The seventh again saw Hickman sent to first on balls, but, as on the pr avious occasion, two men had retired and Kitson easily disposed of Warner on strikes. Davis, So! bach and Oanzel were speedy victims in tiir ninth.

Faultless fielding assiste 1 Kitson to achieve his enviable record, the Champion making every play a perfect one. All hands wer; seemingly bent on revenge for the defeat of "Wednesday. All bands had more or less to do, too. Keeler making up for his failure ti get a fielding chance by working industriously with his bat. The four infielders cleaned up everything which came their way.

Sheckard and Dolan made splendid catches and McGuire caught a pretty game behind the bat. Strangely enough, the shut out victory was achieved with Matthewson in the box for New York. Not contented with being knocked out in three innings on Tuesday, Christy essayed to hypnotize the Champions again, and he failed just as signally. He was batted hard during the nine innings, eleven hits being made off his delivery. In justice to the great pitcher, however, it must be said that, with all the hard hitting, the Brooklyns would have scored but one run had he been properly supported.

Errors by Hickman and slow work by Warner behind the bat were responsible for the other four runs. And yet it was evident throughout that Matty had lost his terrors, so far as the Champions were concerned. Keeler. in particular, made him look like the rest, for Wee Willie picked up three hits in five times at bat. Kelley, too.

straightened out those rifle Shots in the approved style. During the seven innir.RS. or while Matthewson received good support, the game was close enough to keep the crowd up to the top notch of enthusiasm. Brooklyn jumped on Matty's curves at the start for two runs on a beautiful rap by Kelley, down tho C.iut? in left Held, for two bases, a pretty bunt by Keeler. Hickman's wild throw and a single by Dahlen.

While the Champions made frequent hits during the next six innings, not another man could got around to tile plate. The eighth put Giants mit of the running altogether, two men scoring for Brooklyn without the semblance of a hit being made. Hardly had the crowd stopped cheering Hickman for a fine running catch of a foul from Keelcr's bat when he made a glaring muff of a fly by The latter immediately stole second and ran to third on a passed ball. Daly was sent to first on four wide shoots and also stole second unmolested. Dahlen hit to Davis but Sheckard beat the throw to the plate by a brilliant, slide.

While Warner held the ball, Dahlen sprinted down I i FOR LATE SPORTING'NEWS SEE PAGE 2. caoeagt kim. in "i n't. to second, and, on trae throw, Daly raced home like a cup defender in a fifteen knot It was the prettiest exhibtion of base running seen in manv a day and the crowd was forced to cheer enthusiastically, although, for a few moments, they were tempted to score the umpire, as the plays were exceedingly close. Thero was no question as to Sneckaru safetv at ttie plate on Davis' throw, as Warner made a second attempt to touch him after he had scored on the plea that the runner had not touched the plate.

Dahlen wriggled out of Strang's way on als dash to second, wlille Daly got home with plenty to spare. Still the spectators were uncertain and they appealed to Joe Kelley as'he came in from the coaching line. "Both safe." replied vJoe, witU a grin. "You've got to touch runners in this game." Then the crowd applauded The ninth netted one mora for the Champions. McGuire led off with a cracking single to center and was safe at second n'aon Strang mulled Davis' throw oa a grounder by Kit son.

Kelley forced McGuire at third and Keeler forced his captain at second. Sheckard rapped a beauty to right, bringing Kitsou home. Daly retired on a grounder to Liavis. The Giants alternately fielded brilliantly and raggedly. Hickman made a couple of good plays but spoiled the effect by a brace of costly errors.

Davis accepted twelve out of thirteen chances and his work was really the feature of the day. Mattbewson had the satisfaction of striking out eight men. McGuire was a victim twice in succession, but Jim got hi3 eye on the ball and laced out two singles on his third and fourth attempts. On the whole. It was not a good day for Matty.

DIAMOND CHIPS. Kitson not only scored a shut out. but made as many hits as the entire New York team. The Champions took two out of three from New York in the series Just ended, both victories being ion on the folo Grounds. They have won twelve of the last nineteen games abroad a pennant winning gait.

The first two times up yesterday Keeler bunted the ball down the third base line and beat Hickman's throws easily. The third time Willie laced out a peppery drive to left for a base. It was pretty work and he could sing without fear of contradiction that pleasant refrain, "All pitchers look alike to me," as It was his first effective batting against Matthewson. Charley Irwin had the hardest kind of luck with the bat. He should have placed three clean singles to his credit, but brilliant stops by Hickman and Davis and a line catch by Strang robbed him of a chance to Improve his batting average at Matthewson' expense.

The easy grace with which Irwin pulls down dies to his portion of the field Is much admired bv Brooklyn rooters. They no longer have flutter irigs of the heart when the ball Is hit toward third, as they used to when Gatins was there. Pittsburg has given to Short Stop Ely his unconditional release with the customary, ten days notice. Doheny, the pitcher released by New York, has been signed by Pittsburg. Manager Hanlon Is confident of developing Newton Into a winning southpaw.

Newton Is shy on one or two important elements which go to make a successful twlrler, but' Hanlon has him going right and looks for marked success. The New York Club has signed Pitcher Beegan. who won the Indoor championship fot the Ninth Begiment last winter. The four series which begin to day among the league clubs are or more than passing interest, inasmuch as the teams playinn against one another are In close proximity. Thus Pittsburg and St.

Louis are first and second. Philadelphia and Brooklyn are third and fourth. New York and Boston fifth and sixth. Cincinnati and Chicago seventh and eighth. For once, at least, Nick Young's schedule meets with favor.

Manager Comlskey of the Chicago White Stockings has accepted Colonel Hnrt's challenge to a post season series between the rival Windy City clubs. The games will be played provided the Board of Arbitration gives its consent. The four league leaders won yesterday, leaving rolntivp TinK'Hon; nnphancred. The four second division teams dropped down a few points. ZETTLER AND GBOSCH WI1T.

Greens Keeper of a Defeated Club Eights With a Pen. feeling has been caused by the publication in a Lynbrook paper of an article criticising the golf game played last Saturday between the Freeport and Rockville Center Clubs. The game resulted in a complete victory for the team.

The article in question stated that the game was not fairly played, and it Is alleged that the article was written by the greens keeper of the Rockville Center Club. The Freoport.rs say that If the Rockville Centers are dissatisfied another tournament can easily be arranged. After the game last Saturday the Freeport boys gave the usual cheers to their competitors, but there was no response from the Rockville Center Club. Other discourtesies were mentioned. There appears to he much jealousy on the part ot some of the members.

WHEELING. Harry Bikes, the lanky wheelman from Glens Falls, to leave no doubt in the minds of those who follow cycle racing that he is without a peer in this or any other country at the long distance pace following game. Last night he beat Jimmy Michael again, who Is looked upon by many to be the hardest proposition which Elkes can face. The little Welshman, as usual, rode pluckily, but was beaten by two and a half laps In slightly over forty two Michael's pace went wrong in the tenth mile, when both were fighting for the lead, and the Midget lost a lot' of ground. Elkes seems not alone to ride better than any othercyclist but also appears to have the best pacing crews In the business.

The race meet on Sunday at the Gutten burg half mile track will be the most prominent cycling event held since the transformation of the old course Into, a half mile circuit. The HudEon Coliseum Company, which has secured a lease of the track and intends making a feature of Sunday racing, has prepared an Interesting attraction for the cpenlng, which will Include a twenty flvc mile paced race between Sherrer and New kirk, a five mile handicap for amateurs, and a half mile, novice.

More Inducements Must Be Offered if the Best Horses Are Wanted. IS A BIG STRAIN ON A HORSE. Prince of Melbourne and Kochester "Will Be the Only Starters To morrow. As was anticipated, the fifth running of the race for the Brighton Cup to inorrow, at Brighton Beach, will result In a comparative walk over for Prince of Melbourne. The inducements to owners to keep horses in training for this event are not sufficiently large, and, as in former years, the field which.

will start will be exceedingly small. Outside of Prince of Melbourne, Dick Roche's Rochester will be the only other starter, and he does not possess sufficient caliber to furnish much of a contest. The only Idea of starting him is to secure the $1,000 which is offered as second money. Seven weeks hence the Annual Champion stakes will be run at Sheepshead Bay. This stake Is arranged on practically the same lines as the Brighton Cup.

The weights carried, however, are higher, 3 year olds being asked to pick up 116 pounds, 4 year olds 130 and 5 years and up 131 pounds, with the usual sex and gelding; allowances. In the Brighton fixture 3 year olds are asked to carry 109, 4 year olds 124 and 5 years and up 127 pounds. With all this Inducement for 3 year olds, the Brighton fixture has failed to attract a single starter of that age. The reason is that the value of the Brighton Cup is only about $6,000 to the winner, while the Annual Champion is worth $19,650 to the winner, while the second money is $2,000 and the third $750. Further inducements in the Annual Champion are in the shape of $1,000 to the owner of the winner at time of entry.

$500 to the owner of the second horse at the time of entry and S250 to the owner ot the third horse at the time of entry. A further $500 goes to the trainer of the winner. The Brighton Cup offers none ot these inducements. Yet its originators expect that race to be regarded as the premier distance race of the year. The Annual Champion was first run last September, a field of six going to the post.

This year there will be that number, if not more starters, for the inducements are such as to attract a liberal entry. The Brighton Cup can only be regarded as a failure until its added money is increased to more liberal proportions. It is such a severe race that owners will not compete unless the inducements are more liberal. A race of this description takes so much out of a horse that it frequently takes him several months to recover from its effect. Weight for age races will never be popular in this country until we have more of them.

There are so many liberal purses offered over short distances of ground that the large majority of the thoroughbreds in training are pointed and trained for these less arduous trials of speed. Years ago we had four mile heat races and old time racing men still delight in telling of the glorious races which took place when the best horses of the East and West met in these contests. Even then, however, the fields were small, although in comparison with the present day, there was much more distance racing in comparison with the amount pf racing than now. In anticipation of no contest as regards the Brighton Cup there will be an extra race to morrow. So racegoers will have plenty or racing, even If they fail to witness a stirring contest in the cup race.

SARATOGA HANDICAP WEIGHTS. Horsemen Greatly Interested in Allotment of Imposts for Rich Event. Secretary Hugh D. Mclntyre of the Saratoga Racing Association has announced the weights for the Saratoga handicap, the principal race of the opening day's racing at the spa track. This race is of the guaranteed kind, its value being of which 57,000 goes to the winner, $2,000 to the second and $1,000 to the third.

Judging by the allotment of weights, the field which wili start In this rich event will be both large in size and of superior quality. Ot course, a number of horses, who have been handicapped, such as Kinley Mack, Star Bright, Banastar, Ogden and Commando, will not face the starter, as they are not in training. At first glance Haudicapper Vosburgh seems to have treated several of the 3 year olds very 'leniently. On the day of the race, however, tho assignment of weights will have been found to be an equitable one. It is Interesting to note that Commando is now regarded as only two pounds better than The Parnder, their weights being 117 and 116 pounds, respectively, and that Con roy, the winner of the Brooklyn handicap, is three pounds better than Watercolor.

the respective imposts being 113. and 110 pounds. Bonnibert and Prince Pepper are both figured as good as Watercolor, their weight being the same as that of the Watercress colt. Of the other 3 year olds. Blue gets in with 100 pounce and Emporium, the Western colt, at 107.

Alard Schcck is also asked to carry 107 pounds. Black Fox and Garry Herman will have to shoulder 106 pounds, Silverdale 105, Lady Schorr 104. Far Rockaway and Beau Gallant 102 and Bellario 97 pounds. Of the cider division that are likely to start the most prominent are Alcedo, 124; Rockton, 11C; Brigadier. 110; Mesmerist and Watercure, 107; Charentus, 106, and Decanter and Klnnikinic, 100 pounds.

Old Imp is assigned 123 pounds, but it is hardly likely that she will face the flag. She is quartered at Horse Haven, but she is not the Imp of old, and it is doubtful It she will ever be as good as she was, although her new trainer, Peter Wimmer, is a patient, careful man with horses and he hats done wonders in the past with ailing thoroughbreds Kinley Mack is an example of the wonders which the Teutonic trainer can do with a horse which was a cripple for three successive years. Maybe Wimmer will get the mare up to a race during the meeting at the spa. THE SCAMPS BEAT SWCITHTOWN. St.

Run From Newport to Vineyard Haven Is Interesting and Picturesque. CONSTITUTION NOT GOING. "Will Haul Out at Hevreshoff Works to Repair Injuries Received In Yesterday's Race. The last run of the New York YacUt Club to the eastward, from Newport, R. to the quaint harbor of Vineyard Haven, on the Island of Martha's Vineyard, occurs to day, and graceful Constitution, typifying the acme ot perfection In, the building and designing of a racing yacht, will be among the missing.

Coming' down the Sound yesterday the cup defender, because of "her great was unfortunate enough to strike a submerged rock, which injured the forward part of the plating on her fin keel. Mr. Duncan is not taking any chances with the boat "and will have her hauled out at Bristol in liopeB of being again in trim for the Astor cup faces on Monday next. To day's run of the squadron is one of the most beautiful in the whole series made during the cruise. It is nearly a fifty mile jout ney for the fleet and an Interesting and picturesque one to the last degree.

Leaving the waters of Nafragansett Bay, the white winged pleasure yachts work out around old Brenton's Reef a submarine continuation of the famous rocky cliffs of Newport on Haich so many millionaires have reared their palatial homes. Then to the eastward they go. ofttimes with the prevailing summer breeze from the southwest pushing them along, until the little fisherman's island of Cu'ftytiunk, or the famou variegated clay cliffs of Gay Head are sighted, the skipper that the run is nearly half over and that his charge will soon enter the beautiful of Vineyard Sound. Gay Head is, indeed, a picturesque spot and the famous first class lighthouse there, whose flash gives warning to the anxious mariner' twenty six miles away, the little band of Indians, the pottery, manufactured from the clay of many colors, which make up the cliffs of the headland; the ox carts and, in fact, all the quaint local customs have gained a world wide reputation. On the port side of the entrance of Vineyard Sound Is the before mentioned Island of Cuttyhunk.

a quaint settlement, nestled In the low hills and peopled entirely by fisher folk. The picture, as the craft proceed up the Sound, walled on the one' side by the Island of Martha's Vineyard and on the other by the islands of Cuttyhunk, Nashawena, Pasque and Naushon, Is a beautiful one, especially the latter part of the run along the shores cf Naushon. This island, purchased by the late Commodore John M. Forbes, many years ago, has been improved and beautified in such a way as to make It a peerless estate. Here the veteran owner of Volunteer, the successful cup defender of 1887 against Thistle, and the builder of Wild Duck, now owned by General Francis V.

Greene, one of the first auxiliary steamers ever seen in these waters, has reared a summer place for himself and family, unexcelled anywhere for natural beauty. Thoroughbred trotters and sheep are raised there In abundance and, before the death of tho noted turfman and yachtsman, several houses, the old homestead, had been built for the different membera of his household, who had families of their own. Hadley's Harbor, sometimes known as Forbes' Harbor, winding circuitousiy into tne island, was dredged out arid improved by Mr. Forbes and is now ode of the most perfect land locked harbors anywhere on bur coast. It is accessible from Buzzarie Bay or from Vineyard Sound by passing through the treacherous Woods Hole.

The waters of Narragansett Bay, Buzzards De Bay and Vineyard Sound are a perfect mecca, during the summer months, for pleasure yachts ot every description and the. coming ot the Now York Yacht Club squadron each year is attended by a fleet of several hundred craft from all ports on the waters named. In former years the squadron used to remain at Vineyard Haven over Sunday and then an illumination, with its attendant exercises, was an anaual feature. Now, however, the natives, and by far the greater part of the population of the Island, the summer people, have to bo content with having just a peep at the yachts for a night. As the fleet bears away from Naushon toward Vineyard Haven Harbor the shores of Cape Cod are left on the port with Such noted resorts as Woods Hole and Falmouth In plain sight.

The return from this harbor to Newport is generally an opportunity for windward work because of the prevailing summer breeze being from the southwest. The run yesterday to Newport from New London was marked by several accidents, among them being the loss of the spars of Charles Smithers' schooner Muriel, tho grounding of Cornelius Vanderbllt's 70 footer Rainbow and a. like accident to sloop Athene, belonging to W. Otis Gay of Boston. Few of the smaller yachts finished within tho time limit yesterday.

Constitution lost to Columbia because of her accident. Nava hoe gave Vigilant a good race in the clasp for big yawls, and, although finishing behind the latter, should win on time allowance. Virginia finished ahead of Rainbow In the class for 70 footers, the latter going aground as before mentioned. II. H.

Frank Farrell's Black Colt Ran a Good Race at Brighton Beach on Wednesday, feating Kama'ra and Carbuncle in the Handicap. the tailenders at the start, he had every chance to win, but, as usual, he was outrun during the earlier stages of the race, and, although he met with no interference, he did not get to running until the stretch was reached, and then the distance to the wire was so short that he was beaten a neck by Disadvantage. Possibly Hyphen will do better over a distance of ground, but until he does he must be classed as another disappointing youngster. Expert horsemen do not fancy Hyphen at all. They claim that he is built too far from the ground to ever make a good horse.

His owner. Captain S. Brown, still thinks, however, that the son of Himyar and Semaphore Is one of the best of his age, and that he will do better when he strikes tracks where the stretches are longer and there is less O.anger of interference. It was amusing" to watch the midget rider, G. Thompson, make a head finish with Jack Bennet's mare Animosity In the mile and a sixteenth selling race yesterday.

The little boy had the supremest confidence in his mount and kept her under a pull all the way through the stretch. This same Thompson is one of the unique figures of the riding ranks. He is a little old man in his ways, and, although he weighs but sixty pounds, he is very, strong and seldom lets a horse run off with him. SEAWANHAKA DANCE. Oarsmen Will Hold Kevel To night at Flushing.
