As It is not likely that Phil would be foolish enough to make any incriminating memoranda, however, it is doubtful if any examination of his betting book would cast any light on the matter. Jere Dunn was not satisfied with Odom's handling of Sun Shower in the Sapphire stakes. Odom's comment on the filly was that she was "just a dirty little rat." Mr. Dunn has never been noted for being a good loser, but it is generally the starter that he finds.

fault with and not the rider. In the old days when he owned a small stable he was always complaining because his mare Village Maid got the worst of the send offs. According to Mr. Dunn, the worst of the send off is when his horses do not get off in front, although it must be admitted that when James F. Caldwell was wielding the flag Dunn's candidates were usually unfortunate at the start.

Wonderly. CRICKET AT OTTAWA. Quakers Ahead on First Day of International Matph. Play began yesterday in 'the twenty ninth annual international match between the United States and Canada at Ottawa, the former presenting a team composed entirely of Philadelphians, while the Dominion had a fairly representative team in the field. Going first to bat, the Quakers put together ifiS runs, of which H.

A. Haines contributed 65, easily the best effort of the day. Other double figures were tallied by F. Lr. Altcmus.

He made up for this, however, by capturing 5 of the 8 wickets that the Canadians lost before stumps were drawn for the day. For Canada, H. V. Lounsborough was top man. with IS, while H.

Ackland; W. H. Cooper and A. Gillespie scored 13. 12 and respectively.

Only 77 for wickets had been realized at the call of time, so that the visitors had their things pretty much their own way when hostilities, were resumed this morning. WESTERN TRACKS IN MORE TROUBLE OVER DATES FOR RACING. Cincinnati, September JO Secretary Hopper, secretary of a majority of the American Turf Congress, announced last night that the, annual meeting of that body will ho held at Chicago on September IS.

At fhis meeting it is expected that the American Turf Congress will be formally wiped out' of oxWlencc and a new organization formed.

For the second time in as many playing days the Champions administered a shut out to the struggling Chicagos yesterday afternoon, the score at the finish being to 0. Hanlon's men jumped into the lead at the SAPPHIRE FOR PRETORIUS. O'Connor Puts TJp a Poor Bide on Baron Pepper Ten Candles Wins the Ocean. Every autumn the Westerners come East and, after pulling oft any number of good things, go back to their own stamping grounds with their pockets bulging out with money. This year the Westerners failed to hold their own during the Saratoga meeting, but they have scored several coups in the past seven days of racing at Sheepshead Bay, and it is quite likely that befoTe the meeting ends the ring will receive several more scorchings.

Yesterday the Western contingent pulled off a good thing in Little Gem, a filly who was utterly unknown to Eastern racegoers, and who was ridden by a little negro whose name was first sent out as Hennesey, but afterward corrected to R. Henderson. If the layers had known that this same Henderson had ridden a number of capable races in the West and on the Canadian circuit they would not have been so apt to lay such a long price as 100 to 1 against Little Gem. They were in the dark, however, regarding the capability of tb.6 boy and the prowess of the filly. A select contingent of the Western ele ment, however, did not hesitate to place their money at very long odds on Little Gem, and she was backed down to 30 to 1 at post time.

The coup was a much better managed one than was that of Dave Gideon with Josepha last week. It is quite probable that just as large an amount was taken out of the ring when Little Gem just managed to get home by a head before Lady Stirling. Henderson put up a finish which opened the eyes of the talent, and when he went to the whip he handled the catgut in a fashion which showed that he was no mere stable boy, but a skilled rider. Barney Schrelber's Zirl was the favorite, but she was not possessed of the necessary speed to win. James R.

Keene's Prophetic, on the contrary, did have speed in plenty, but her rider, "Waugh, never let go his tight hold on the lines and she was unplaced, al though sjhe should have won, so full of running was she at the finish. Waugh allowed the filly to go to the front on Saturday last, and on that occasion he displayed some anxiety to win. Yesterday he did not seem to care where he finished. No one will ever accuse Waugh of being a skilled saddle mechanic, but he is fast learning many of the features of jockeyship which it would be perhaps just as well for him to be forever in ignorance of. Those who direct the running of Bthicsmust have been extremely disappointed in the price that was layed against the little horse yesterday.

When he last started he was at a long price, but yesterday 7 to 10 and very little of that was the best on offer. The explanation is that Ethics who is a horse that needs vigorous riding, was piloted the last time out by little G. Thompson, a boy who. can assist a horse but a trifle, whereas, yesterday, H. Cochran, who, despite his size and weight, is a vigorous and skilled pilot, had the mount.

For sentimental reasons every one who did not have a bet on one or the other horses that started against Ethics wished him to win. M. F. Dwyer was known to have a very heavy bet on the son of Charaxus, and, as fortune has not been over kind to the old time plunger of late, there was a keen desire to see his little horse win. Cochran had a hard time of It, however, and he was forced to use the whip freely to land home a neck to the good before Ham Photo by Marx.)

Four Directors of the Brooklyn Club Meet at Brighton and Talk Business. The gathering in town of the four directors of the Brooklyn Base Ball Club over Sunday occasioned some comment, although from the point of view of the magnates themselves there was nothing doing.

President Ebbets said yesterday that Messrs. Abell, Von der Horst, Hanlon and himself, together with President Hart ot the Chicago Club, enjoyed the breezes at Brighton on Sunday and paid no attention to business. There was an informal talk on base ball subjects during the day, but as foT a stockholders' meeting nothing of the sort was intended. It is hardly probable, however, that Mr. Abell would leave his crops at West Yarmouth, and Mr.

Von der Horst come up from Baltimore, practically from a sick bed. to have an informal talk. It is certain that plans were discussed regarding the club's policy for next year, including the coming meeting of the National League, which will be of considerable importance. The players' question was probably touched upon to some extent. There is evidence that, while none of the Brooklyn players have actully signed with the American League, several of them have been approached by the agents of that organization and protective measures were probably decided upon at that informal, talk.

Whether the magnates decided to make an attempt to sign the present team for next year is not known. No player has yet been signed, but the next few days may bring forth some interesting developments. The club is, nevertheless, going ahead with the intention of avoiding the troubles that very nearly stumped it last spring, when Mc Ginnity, Jones and Cross jumped so unexpectedly, leaving Hanlon in the lurch. Four young players have already been signed for the season of 1A02. in McCann.

Prout, Ward and Ahearn, and negotiations are under way for others, Including Catcher McManus of the Brocktons. From a financial point of view the club is all right. The business thus far shows a balance on the right side of the ledger, and it is expected that this will continue until the finish, which is not now far off. Both Mr. Abell and Mr.

Von der Horst have left town. WHEELING NEWS. The race for the short distance cycling championship of the year grows more interesting every day. When the new. manner of counting points was instituted by the National Cycling Association matters began to look very easy for Frank Kramer, as Major Taylor did not ride enough, or speedy enough, to pull down the big load of the Orange boy.

Now, however, the colored champion seems to have regained his old time form and he is fast closing in on the leader. Through a double victory, at the at Sheepshead Bay Yesterday. double points meet, at Boston, last Saturday. beating both Kramer and Lawson by Inches, the Major put his total number of tallies at 74, with Kramer but points ahead of him. Lawson has no chance with 50 points.

There arc but two more races for championship honors, both of which take place in Connecticut next week. They will both count double points. The first, will be at Hartford on Monday evening and the second at New Haven on Tuesday evening. If Taylor wins both of the events hn will land the coveted championship in case Kramer fails to land second in the two sprints. If Taylor wins both and Kramer runs second to him in the two they will be tied with SO points apiece.

That the N. C. A. method of scoring points has been successful and interesting no one will deny. There has not been a single one of the thirty five championship meets which has not been a financial success, which testifies to the popularity of the method.

There have been but two postponements. YACHTINGNOTES. Tho catboat Elsa. owned by ex Commodore John Dohse of tho Baysu ate.r Yacht Club, has cone out of commission for the season and Is being prepared for her winter quarters. The latest addition to the fleet of tho Jamaica Bay Yacht Club i John H.

through th medium" of the EaRl. to make nn appeal to the prnn'dFtand patrons of professional base ball in this city. In behalf of the much abused and utterly defcTiselcFs umpire? in the same, inasmuch ns their position has of late years become so arduous in Its duties so subject to unjust and abusive criticism as to rail for some decisive action on the part of all fair minded spectators at the ball grounds In Riving them at least a fair show of. common justice, if not to take their part against the crowd of foes they have to face when they take their position in the field In a match game. First let me describe what the umpire's duties are when he undertakes to umpire a professional game of bail.

When he goes behind the bat at the commencement of a game he is called upon to face a hot fire of swiftly thrown balls from the attacking: battery force, which come to the bat with almost ritielike. speed ami with eccentric curves. the balls in consequence being exceedingly diillcult I to judge as to their being sent in over the home base, or the legal range of the batsman's reach, aside from the fact that the umpire requires to be exceedingly alert in movement. to avoid being dangerously hurt from a blow of the ball either from the hat or the failure nf the catcher to hold it. Then, too, he hns to decide, in less than a second of time, whether the speedy ball passes over the home base or below the knot of the batsman or above the shoulder.

Beside which the umpire has to nmekly decide wneHv the ball is hit tn fair or foul ground, and in the case of the former hit, lie has to doll" his mask and run to the base to judge the point of play in base running, a double fluty which materia hy retards his success in rendering correct decisions In his position behind the bat. To dhicharg1 thes onerous duties with thorough impartiality and with promptitude and sound judgment are primary requirements of the rules of the game. lr. the difficult and dangerous work of judging strikes and called halls he has a duty per fcim calling for great courage, coolness of nerve, unclouded judgment find iieen sight. Moreover, his standpoint from which to judge the Via meter of the swiftly thrown balls to the bat is one behind not only the batsman, but the catcher, and this Involves extra watchfulness In order to judge the nature of the balls sent In to the bat.

Now in order that the umpires dutiesdangerous as well as difficult as they arr should be effectively discharged with impartiality is a primary requirement of the rules. Then, again. In the work of Judging called balls and strikes the umpire has a duty to perform at once difficult and dangerous, and one calling for unclouded judgment, great courage and nerve an clear sight. Moreover, he has but one position, as a standpoint, from which to judge the character of tiie speedy balls from the pitcher, and that is while standing not only back of the batsman, but also back of the catcher. In doing bis duty in that difficult posit kn he has to face the risk of personal injury from balls coming from the bat at eccentric angle? and which escape the hands of th1 catcher.

mi Ii as foul Hy tips. etc. Now. in order to do this dangerous and diillcult work effectively it Is positively necessary that hig mind should be free, absolutely necessary that his mind should be free from outside embarrassments, otherwise the chances for error of Judgment in his work of rendering decision behind the bat are increased two fold. It is worthy of note.

In this connection, that th single duty of judging called balls and strikes is sufficiently arduous without adding to it that of judging points of play base running, and just here comes in the necessity for the employment of an assistant umpire In the game for the latter dutv. In order to insure effective umpiring. Now let us see what other difficulties the umpire has to contend with under the existing order of things In the professional base hall arena. begin with, the trwiment he steps on the Meld to umpire a game he at. once faces hitter partisan foes in the two contending 'earns of ihe match game.

From first to last is the majority of the plavers bent upon making every effort to rake tb discharge of his duties difficult. If not Impossible, hy their constant disputing of his decisions, and this senseless opposition Is pmrt i to in the fare of the fact that in no single instance can the umpire change any decision he makes, which Is marked hy an error of judgment, actual or alleged. In addition Ln his foes on the field. and also on the managers" benches, he finds sent ed in the bleacheries a crowd of opponents do 1 void of every consideration ef fair play toward the umpire, and in most cases toward the visiting players also, and even in th" crand stand, where fairer minded spectators are supposed to congregate. tha umpire's friends are rw and far between.

But more than all these foes In the crowd of spectators in the mis' hlevir.us In Alienor they exert, are the self constitute class of umpires Jo ated in the press hnx of the grand stnnd. who. from their distant and one ptded standpoint of observation undertake to derfd" every play in th? game and to and unjustly criticise the decisions of tn umpire, who renders them from his point of view, right nn the spot In the field. Tills fnjustlc is specially noteworthy ns blng done bv th? j'lnli class of hnve hall scribes, who seem to go for the umpire on principle of being "agbi the government." Th" veteran writers are inclined to mor of criticism. but the "kds" think it :.) right thing to do whenever the home team bsrs a game.

The' absurdity, not to mention the gross injustice, of the decisions nf the umpire frr.m standpoint different from that he himself occupies is made gloriously apparent when the spectators in the stands undertake to judge the umpire's decisions, made behind the bat. while seated i back of Mrst or third bases, whre it is impos slble that they can Judge the halls from the pitcher correctly. Tet this very thing Is the basis or the partisan judgment the umpire work bv the majority of the spectators. The Injustice of this is never thought of by the crowd of grand stand occupants, and "never, or hardly by the scribes In the press box. Tt has been a surprise to me for some years past how umpires are able to discharge their difficult duties as well as they do under such In every way nbiect'onnble circumstances.

But what regret to see most Is the entire nhsence of any regard for fair play toward the umpire. Every man's hand is a Inst him the players, the spectators nnd the scribes. 1 do not look for the first show of fair play from the majority of the occupants of the grand stands no more than I would from a crowd at a brutal glove prize fight. But I do expect to see some show of Justice rendered the defenseless umpire by the better educated class of patrons of professional base ball; and to this class, and to the scribes in the press box. I say.

give the umpire a fair show, and refrain from vour harsh judgment of the very hard work done hy the most defenseless individual known to our national game. May I ask you. gentlemen patrons of the game. too. to set your faces against further counter ance of the Rross abuse of kicking, either by your open expressions of opposition to it from the stands or by refusing longer to patronize the cluhs whose officials aid and countenance it as part and parcel of professional base bnll of the period.

Make the plavers feel its cost through their pockets nnd the clubs through the foiling off of gate receipts, and the rvii iii soon be stopped. Then umpires can do their work nroriorly: now they cannot Lastly, mny I ask my brethren of the nres box to stop "klcklns man when he i5 down by ceasing to charsre umpires with dishonesty by the cry ol "rotten umpiring." and with stupidity, by alleged error of JudKment.

The team has batted harder than ever and in every other respect shown a tendency to make the race a hot one. Nevertheless, the Champs have been tin able to make any appreciable impression on the load of the Pirates, owing to he impotencv of the Bostons and New Vorks.

This, of course, is the lort.une ot war, and the Pittshurgs deserve credit for taking advantage of the weakness of the two teams in question. The Pirates had a harder row to hoe than the Brooklyns, from the fact that l.hcy were playing away from home. Consequently, the record has been even better than that ot the Champions. rJ 1 1 hiire will he here lo ninrrnw for nf tlii r.ames and. from all indi cations, the fur will fly.

It is I hen that the Brooklyns will have an opportunity to help themselves in cutting down the lead of the Pirates, thereby offsetting the inability of the Bostons and New Vorks. Three straight wins lor Brooklyn will have nn important hearing on the positions of the three leaders and. while such an out would not oust. Pittshure out of first place, it would make the race a hot one. There is no Knowing wnat may happen In the last few weeks of the season.

The Brooklyns and Chicagos finish series this afternoon. i i i I I I 'I I 1 Winner of the Sapphire Stakes mock. The latter horse has never shown any partiality to a mile and a furlong before, but he hung on gamely and in a few more strides would have won. His owner, Joe McGarry, was not present to see the black colt perform, but John J.

McGarry, his brother, was, and he viewed Hammock's creditable performance with keen delight. It was quite the best race that Ham Mock has run during his three years' career on the turf, and, while he is only a selling plater, he is a very fair performer. Few horses have been raced as consistently as Hammock has. In fact, the same can be said of all the horses which his trainer, Edward Graves, has under his care. Smoke's defeat in the first race was compassed through that fast little mare being raced off her feet in the first five furlongs of the six furlong dash in an endeavor to keep up with Belle of Lexington.

The latter ran the first half mile in 47 seconds, and, under that terrific pace, those who were with the Belle were bound to suffer, the first part of the race, was allowed to rate along with the result that after the leaders were done he had a bit in reserve and won easily. It was Smoke's first race in over three weeks and it is quite likely thai, she was not up to such a hard race. The six furlongs were traversed in 1:13. very fast time and close to the record for the course. Both Maid of Harlem and Baron Pepper were atrociously ridden the last time they performed.

So yesterday Cochran was substituted for Beaucban on the former while O'Connor took the place of H. Michaels on the latter. The latter boy rode a much more intelligent race than his predecessor did. with the result that Maid of Harlem won easily at the end. O'Connor failed to show any improvement over Beauchamp's effort.

Kamara started and finished a fair third. These races on the grass will put the mave right on edge and when she next, starts in a race on the regular course she can be depended on to make a much better showing than on the turf, for which she has no fondness. There were no new developments yesterday in the Shaw Blue Girl matter. Pittsburg Phil has offered to show his betting books on the race in question as well as other.
