Colored Rider Says "Working Against Him Owing to His Color, Is The threat of Major Taylor, tho colored wonder, to retire from cycle racing owing to the discrimination of hotel keepers In the different cities in the national championship circuit in refusing to give him food and accommodations, is likely to bo carried out, but not before the dusky rider carries the scalp of champion Frank Kramer at his belt. Taylor bolleves that there is a combination working against him owing to his color and for fear he will wrest the championship honors from hi9 pale face rival, Kramer. The latter has twice beaten Taylor this season, but the Major promises to make a show of Kramer when they come together in the one third mile dash at the championship meet at Manhattan Beach next Saturday.

Eddie Bald, "Plugger BUI" Martin, George Collett, Iver Lawson, Orlando Stevens, John Fisher and a dozen others who can cut out a merry pace, will also start in the race and the winner is likely to come from tljls bunch." The Manhattan handicap, a ton mile amateur race for a solid silver tea should prove another grueling race, and Champion Hurley will meet many worthy aspirants for the honors he holds who will push him hard to? capture this handsome prize. KINGS COUNTY BOYS ROUNDING INTO FORM. Losee and Winnington Sure to Carry K. C. W.

Colors to Frequent Victories. That the racing uniform of the Kings County Wheelmen is a good omen was again forcibly proven at Manhattan Beach last Saturday, when Losee, "the elongated one," donned the K. C. W. racing shirt for the first time.

Losee gave Hurley, the acknowledged nTiamnlnri tht hordo.t tnaalA nf Vila rynan and in 'the half mile open tho champion only won over Losee Dy a small margin of 6 inches. In the two mile handicap, as if to prove he was afraid of Losee, Hurley ran the former up the bank on the turn for home, and' in the stretch he swerved so badly that Losee could do nothing but "sleigh ride" in. Another of the K. C. W.

riders just getting his stride Is Fred Winnington. He usually rounds to about this time, and from now on he may be looked to to carry the K. C. W. colors home In front.

SWIMMING RACES AT TRAVERS ISLAND. Ne York Athletic Club Will Hold Championship Events on August 23. The second series of swimming races under the auspices of the New York Athletic Club will be held at Tra verB Island, on the Sound, on Saturday, August 23, commencing at 2 P. when the following events will be contested: 440 yards and one mile Amateur Athletic Union championship, 220 yards handicap and 110 yards novice. The course will be 110 "yards and all racos above 110 yards will be with a turn and as near slack water as possible.

The standard Amateur Athletic Union die medal will be given to first, second and third in the championship events and Now York Athletic Club die medals for handicap and novice races. Competitions begin on the arrival of the 12:45 P. M. train from One Hundred and Twenty ninth street and Third avenue. Entries close August 13 with the secretary of the New York Athletic Club.

DIAMOND CHIPS. To morrow will" be women's day at Washington Park. What's the matter wtih the Phillies? They have lost eleven of the last thirteen games. "The hero of to day is the Jobstcr of to morrow." From tho sage sayings of Comedian Bill Donovan. Dummy Hoy, the' clever mute outfielder, nasi decided to retire from the game for good.

He balks at going Into the minors. The Chicago "White Stockings rank seventh in team batting among the American League clubs, but havo a good hold on first place. Keeler and Sheckard made three hits apiece, but four of the six were wasted. Sheckard'3 trio of bingles did not figure In the run getting at all. but it was not his fault.

Bresnahan and MoGann had 22 of the 27 put outs In tho New York Pittsburg game. Only one en ten wn made bv an outfielder. Matheweon struck out eleven men. but lost 3 to 0, the Giants making only two nits on: lanneniu. Tommy Leach, the Pittsburg third baseman, was put out ot the game by Umpire Emslie it the Polo Grounds for kicking.

Effect, another mass meeting in Pittsburg, calling for secession of the Pirates to the American League. Manager Hanlon has decided to shake up his batting order again. Farroll will be moved down to Number 8 on the list, while McCreery, Irwin and Flood will move up a' peg each. Better results are expected from this change. Manager Kelley has sent Pitcher Bob Ewlng home to recover his form.

The club Is well fortified with pitchers with Phillips, Poole, Hahn and Thlelman, the latter having recovered tho use of his hand, which was severely hurt In a recent game. A week ago. when the series of the Western clubs in the East began, Brooklyn led Chicago by 39 points. To day this margin has been reduced to 4, The work of the Orphans on the road so far certainly borders on the sensational. In fact th Western 'quartet js makUig tho ISast look like thirty cents this trip.

Had SI Seymour been leas spry In tho fifth, Dah len's vicious swipe would have been good for a home run and a difforent tale unfolded. It was a terrific liner, which seemed destined to hit the picket fence In deep center, but Si Intercepted it after a long run. Sam Crawford missed making a home run by the fraction of an inch In the fifth inning and this fraction of an Inch won the game for the Reds. Ho sent a long fly to deep right center, the ball hitting the ton of the fence and bounding back Into Dolan's hands, Crnwford stopping ot second. Scvmour followed with a single olid took second on Sheckard's throw to the plate to nail Crawford.

Then Sheckard muffed Pelts' fly and SI scpred. Had Crawford's hit gone over the fence. Seymour would have remained at first and only one run would havo been scored instead of two.as he woula have stopped at third on Sheckard's muff and romalned there, as Corcoran struck out. No better Illustration of the fact that luck plays an Important' part In a garao of ball than this little Incident. Trident and Tecumseh to Meet in Final Series at Montreal.

Canadians Think Well of Bridgeport Challenger History of Cup Contests to Date. The low; anticipated races for the Seawan lialia International Challenge flip, for small yachts, more often spoken of as the "Sea wanhiika Cup," will beirin next Friday at Montreal, Cimad'i. The trial contests wen1 held at Black Rock, to select a challenger to represent the Bridgeport. Yacht Club, and the' White Hear Lake creation. Tecurnseli.

designed and bull by Jones LaFiorde of Oslikosh, was ehesen. Nine craft built and sailed by the best designers and skippers of small boats in the country competed in those struggles, and Teeurnseh, with her extremely light and baggy suit of silk sails, well handled by her builder. James H. Jones, demonstrated her superiority. 4 The Royal St.

Lawrence Yacht Club of Montreal. Canada, holders of the trophy, brought out two new boats for the purpose of selecting a ilelender. tine Is named Osmi and the other, a three eentertioard affair. Trident. These two creations were tried out with Senneville.

the successful defender of 1901, and Trident has been finally selected to defend the trophy. utifjgnn, her designer, who lias had a hand in nearly all of the Seawanhaka cup contests, has agreed to conform to the letter of the rules governing the same nnd will use but two of the centerboards on the new craft! The races are to be sailed alternately over triangular and windward and leeward courses and return and the match will be awarded to the yacht winning three out, of live contests. The first race will be triangular or windward or leeward, as the winner of the toss shall select. Each leg of the triangular course is to be one and one third nautical miles in length and will be sailed over three times making a total of twelve miles. The course to windward or leeward and return is to have a total length of twelve nautical miles, each leg, if possible, to he two nautical miles, and not less than one.

The contests are to be conducted by three judges, one appointed by each club and a third selected by those two. The judges are Charles P. Towr, secretary of the Long Island Yacht Hucing Association; W. G. Phillips of Clinton, and E.

A. Martin of Toronto. TIig Seawanhaka Cup was offered for International competition between small yachts, by the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, in 1SK5. Under the conditions of the deed of gift the yachts were not to be larger than 25 feet racing length, nor smaller than 15 feet racing length, according to the Seawanhaka rule. About this time tho half rater, a boat ot about 15 feet wafer line and 200 feet of sail, was much used in England.

They were not much larger than a canoe, but In still water afforded good sport for the crew of two men which they carried. The first challenge was received from the Minima Yacht Club of Cowes, England. They named the' half rater Spruce IV as challenger. The Seawanhaka Club defended the half rater Ethelwyn, designed and built by the Spaldlng Si. Lawrence Boat Company.

Ethelwyn won in three straight races. In IS'Jfi a challenge was received from the KiRoyal St. Lawrence Yacht Club of Montreal, naming the Glencairn as the challenging yacht. The Seawanhaka Club defended the cup this year, with EI Herle. Glencairn was probably the first of the pronounced scow type seen In sound waters.

She won the cup In three straight races, defeating the EI Herie on all points of sailing with the greatest case and carrying away the cup to Montreal. In 1S97, by mutual agreement between the Seawanhaka and St. Lawrence clubs, the size of the boat was increased to what was known as the 20 footors; that is. a boat about 17 feet 6 inches water lino, and 500 square feet of sail. The Seawanhaka Club challenged with a boat of this type called Momo.

The) Canadians successfully defended the cup with Glencairn II, and It remained In Canada. The Seawanhaka Club challenged again, in 1S9S. and sent the Challenger, a Crane boat, to represent thorn in tho races. The Canadians pitted against her the doable huller Dominion, which again succeeded in defeating the challenging boat, and the cup still remained with the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club.

In 1S9S, another agreement was entered between the St. Lawrence and the Seawanhaka clubs, which barred from competition the double hull style of boat. The Seawanhaka people, this year, sent up a boat called Constance, which made the best bid for winning back the cup that has been made thu3 far. The Canadians pitted against her Glencairn IV. Constance won the first two races, and then lost the next two.

The match thus stood two and two, requiring only one more win for either boat to settle the matter. Constance's centerboard grounded just before the start on the fifth day. and they declined sail on that account. Tho judges, however, sent Glencairn IV over the course and declared her the winner. This led to some controversy botween the Seawanhaka and St.

Lawrence clubs, and the result was that the Seawanhaka Club haa not since challenged. In m00. a challenge tvas received from the White Bear Yacht Club of St. Paul, which named Minnesota as challenger. The Canadians presented Red Coat as defender.

By mutual agreement between tho Royal St. Lawrence and the White Bear clubs, the hulls of the boats had been built under restrictions which gave a much more, seaworthy boat titan those previously made. The racing lengtii was also increased from 20 to 25 feet, but the sail area was still restricted to square feet. Red Coot won the match in three straight races, and thus left the Canadians again triumphant. In V.m, tho challenge of tho Island Sailing Club of Cowes, England, was accepted, and the Gray Friar was sent over to attempt to carrv the cup to the other side.

The Royal St. Lawrence Club pitted the Senneville, the sixth defender from tho design of George Duggan, and for the sixth consecutive time he was victorious in three straight races. This year the Bridgeport Yacht Club challenged and the same was accepted. Teeurnseh the United States representative, has been at Montreal for the past two weeks, nnd is well liked. She will bo sailed by Jones, her designer and builder.

The Trident will be handled by the peerless Duggan, SNAKE ON THE LINKS. At Hackensnck the other day a young matron was playing golf. She was about to make 1 stroke when her foot caught. Sho thought It wai the strap of her cuddy bag and, looklnft down, was horrified to find her anklo firmly held In th coils of a huge blacksnake. The gamo was Indefinitely adjourned and ping pong is now the most popular sport tor women In Hackensack.

SPA OUTSHINES MONTE CARLO, "Westerners Drop a Bunch, of Money on Conundrum Alsono Scores Clever Win.

(Special to the Eagle.) Saratoga, N. August 6 The second day of. the Saratoga meeting reflected in every detail the splendor of the inaugural. Stands crowded with the elite of this most expensive oi all summer resorts and with the moguls and lesser lights of the American racing world, the pick of the kings and queens of the turf scampering around the course to close finishes, gayly bedecked women, brilliantly caparisoned jockeys and splendid weather conditions combined to make an animated scene unrivaled in the history of the sport this season. Another feature added to the inspiration of the sceno: Saratoga is money mad.

The summer guests here seem to have no other desire in life than to get separated from their coin, and the promoters of conceivable method to bring about this divorce are reaping a harvest. In the betting ring at the race track, at the gambling palaces at night, around the tllliard tables in the morning, men tumble over one another in their wild anxiety to get a beUdown. It is estimated that $50,000 alone was dropped on the Alabama Stakes, the feature of yesterday's card, the bookmakers being that amount through the winning of Par Excellence. All the educated money v.as down on Gunfire, Josepha and Hatasoo. The peneilers raked in the money with shovels, figuratively speaking, and doled it out like misers purchasing their daily rations.

It was a good day for the bookies, and they were in a joyous frame of mind, in perfect accord with the general aspect of the scene. And yet the money keeps in circulation as these same bookies are among the fhost enthusiastic players at the swell clubs at night. The American Monte Carlo with trimmings, and rich trimmings at that, is the Saratoga of to day. And riUiam C. Whitney is the man of the hour.

He has paved the way to this hlgh toned'whirlwind of the sport loving community and is reaping the benefits. There is enough vitality to last the meeting out. While O'Connor was no doubt justified in setting the hot pace he did with Hatasoo in the Alabama Stakes (for the Fcatherstone filly has run her best races in front), "Tommy" Burns would have done much better had he waited with Gui ire. These two horses were run off their feet by the time the stretch was reached and L.UX Casta looked a certain winner up to a few yards of the wire, when Redfern brought Par 'Excellence up with a rush and won on the wire by a head. Excellent 'judgment of pace" on the part of Redfern was mainly responsible for the victory of the Pepper Stable candidate, although the superior condition of Par Excellence through constant racing during the Brighton meeting contributed in no small way toward her victory.

From the ranks of "the selling class to winner of one of the classics of the turf oyer the be3t Allies in training is a big jump for the'Kantaka Lady Pepper Ally. Burns and Waterhouse have in Alsono a colt very near the first rank. In the opening race he was twenty lengths behind going down the back stretch and ten lengths in the rear entering the stretch, but came like a whirlwind in the last furlong and won by a head from Boutonniere. The latter would have been first, had not Wonderly, through overconfidence, wandered away from the rail, along which Alsono came with his winning rush. SARATOGA GOSSIP.

There are more Westerners here tfian. ever before. They are. readily distinguished from the Easterners by their general breeziness, hustling qualities and in many cases by their unique manner of garbing themselves. The Saratoga town council has decided to limit the tipping industry by exacting a license fee of $130 from all purveyors of information doing business in town or at the' gates of the track.

This will drive the smaller fry out of businesp, while it will benefit those that are able to pay the tax. Stephen Sanford Sons of Amsterdam have a fairly good stable this year. Durple and gold stripes are never seen in public until the Saratoga meeting, but from then on to the end of the season the home bred produce of the San fords usually cut some figure in making turf history. William C. Whitney is taking an active part in the running of the track.

He Is officiating as steward and from the moment he leaves the stew ard's stand between races is besieged on all sides. He listens patiently to complaints, congratulations ajjd suggestions, but already finds that running a race track is no sinecure. All the leading caravansaries are crowded. The 'United States, Grand Union and other large hotels have been turning away guests. The smaller hotels and boarding houses are also filled.

The natives are reaping a harvest and with 6he prices advanced to almost double what prevailed a few years ago the guests that go away from the Spa with money will be few indeed. The betting, according to the layers, has so far been very light. This was to be expected, as' there is a great mix up in form due to the presence of Eastern and Western representatives that are coming together for the first time. In a week from now bettors will have a fairly good line on the horses. Then they will unbelt sufficiently to satisfy tho purveyors of odds.

Among the Western stables which are sure to play a prominent part here during the meeting are those of Charles Ellison, W. H. May Son. Burns Waterhous, Turney Brothers, John A. Drake.

Walter Jennings, H. M. Ziegler, George J. Long. George A.

Davls. Johnny Pay and j. S. O'Brien. Most of those named will also take part In the Shoepshead Bay meeting In September.

one that Is anybody drives to and from the qourse. There is a trolley line that runs to the gates, but the fashionable arrive and depart in private equipages. The turnouts are handsome and drawn by blooded stock. A drive to the lake usually follows the visit to the races and Tnion avenue Is fairly choked with public and private conveyances until the dinner hour. Saratoga has gone racing mad.

Horse talk from morning to night is practically the only topic of conversation. Women who do not see a race run In any other part of the country are full the subject and discuss the chances of the candidates for the various events with a knowledge of the subject that is really astonishing. While the races are beins run the village is deserted and it seems that everybody goes to the track. The Jockey Club does not recognize betting in any shape or form in Its official capacity. It requested, however, that Kid Weller, "Who welched some two years ago.

but lately made good all his obligations, he barred from the lnclosuro where the layers hold fdrth. This has been done. Weller has been acting as betting cnmmlrsloner for John A. Drake, but his occupation, while ho re. mains in Saratoga, or at any other track in the East Is gone.

Luden Lyne Is far from being the improved rider his Western showing would seem to indicate. The riders he has been meeting at and around Chicago are far Inferior In skill to their Eastern confreres. Lyne's exhibition on John A. Drake's Conundrum was a very painrul opr. This gelding, it should be remembered, is at his best in tho mud.

Zoroaster bent him easily, but he should have been close up. Mosketo buzzed in third. It has already become the proper thing to visit tho track In tho early morning hours and witness the gallops. As early as 7 o'clock there are severul hundted Interested spectators scattered about the grand stand viewing this most Interesting sight. The specta'clo of several hun drcd thoroughbreds circling the track at various rates of speed Is an enlivening sight and with the cool, clear mountain air acting as a tonic the visitors return to the hotels with ravenous appetites.

The tipsters are not reaping the harvest they anticipated. Competition: together wllh the cut in no longer makes tho profession the. highly remunerative one it was Inst summer. Then there was but qne firm selling information, "whereas there arc now a dozen. Several, of the morning gallop timers in the employ ot the tipsters were shown oft the track lost week.

Tho timers for tho plungers and bookmakers are equipped with badges and are 'on tho grounds LOOKING. FOR BIG GAME. Trap Shooter Marshall Now After Congressional Honors.

Baltimore in Detroit. Philadelphia In Clovelnnd. There was a maximum of base hits and a minimum of runs at the Brooklyn end of the game at Washington Park yesterday, and, as runs count, the Cincinnatis. won. The score was 5 to 4, but there was little difference in the playing of the two teams, except that the Reds succeeded in bunching their base hits and used better judgment at the hat.

Keeler and his men played a neat up hill game and managed to tie the score after the visitors had. secured a lead of 4 to 1, hut there the Superbas froze, so to speak, and in the seventh the Reds scored the ruu that won the victory. The Brooklyns did not lack, opportunities, however, in the last three innings. In the seventh Sheckard led off with a single and languished, while in the eighth McCreery rapped out a nice hit with one out and met the same fate. The most disastrous inning was the ninth.

Kitson led off with a safe hit and was immediately caught napping off first. Then Sheckard beat out a slow grounder to Peitz, and, after Keeler had filed out, ended the game with a fruitless attempt to steal a base. If the ninth inning was of a nature to dis gust the fans, the third was more so. With Kitson Out in this inning, Sheckard nit for two bases, Keeler beat out a bunt and Dolau got a free pass, filling the corners. Yet no run was scored, as Dahlen was over anxious.

Then Farrell lined out a long foul to Kelley, and the chance to secure a win nine lead had evaporated. Kitson and Hahn were hit hard, the former for ten hits and the latter for twelve, but good support kept the runs down. Brooklyn took the lead at the start, Keeler scoring on a double, Dolan's out and a timely hit by Dahlen. The Reds came back with two in the second, after two men were out, on a single by Steinfeldt, a double by Hahn and Bergen's safe tap to right. The visitors scored another brace of runs in the fifth after two men were out on a double by Crawford, Seymour's single and a muff of a fly by Sheckard.

This error was the only misplay charged against Brooklyn, and it was excusable, as Jimmy Just managed to reach the ball atter a long run. Brooklyn got two in the fifth on a rousing three bagger by Kitson, singles by Keeler and Dolan and Dahlen's long fly to Seymour. An error by Peltz, a passed ball, Irwin's sacrifice and a hit by Flood brought McCreery home with the tying run in the sixth. The winning run was scored by Kelley on his two bagger, Beckley's single and a long fly by Crawford. Kitson disposed of the Reds in order during the last two innings, but the damage' was 'done.

He spoiled his chance to win his own game by being caught napping In the last Inning. FREEPORT GOLF CLUB HOLDS SPECIAL MEETING. Purchase of Grounds Favorably Considered Governors Resign. (Special to the Eagle.) Freeport, I. August 6 A meeting of the Freeport Golf Club was held last evening to consider the purchase of the land on which the new club house is built, and also to obtain ownership of the house.

It was decided to make the purchase, but, as the club treasury Is not sufficiently well filled to furnish the amount needed, a loan will probably be necessary. Some of the members are not favorable to this plan. The resignations of Herbert F. Gunnison and W. George Foster from the board of governors were received, but laid on tho table until another meeting, next week.

Tho natives of New Mexico seem to have an original way of training shepherd dogs. A pup Is taken from its mother as soon after birth as possible (the breed of dog is Immaterial).

The young of a sheep or goat is taken away and the pup is substituted. After the first few days the pup is never fed except just before the flock goes to pasture in the morning and just after the sheep are brought in at night. As soon as he cun walk ho goes out with the floclc and stays with it all day. Whenever he begins to anticipate supper by trying to drive the flock in before sundown he gets punished. After he is about a year old he takes a lock out, guards them from other dogs and coyotes during the (lay, and brings them in at the proper time at night without supervision.

AH kinds of temptations can be tried on any dog that is encountered in the hills with his flock, but in spite of all ho will remain faithful to his duty, driving his flock to a safe distance before venturing to make the acquaintance of any other dog. Cincinnati Enquirer..
