Time, 36 seconds. Aftor the gam ok tho Bay Ridge and Visitation Lyceum Teams plnvcd a game of basa ball. Tho liay Itidge Team had in their pony pitcher Felix, "who had an easy time with the bases on which Wallace scored, although had the ground been dry he would have been caught at the plate on good throws by Griffin and Smith. Tebeau struck out in hollow fashion, to the evident satisfaction of the cranks, while on O'Connor's hit to Shindle Blake was caught at third. Griffin was fielded out by McKean, but Jones beat a bunt to first and took second on Young's wild throw.

Anderson lifted a fly to Blake. Shindle received his base on balls but LaChance could not hit the ball further than Childs. Young sent a long fly to Jones as a starter in the fifth. Sockalexls' third appearance was the signal for a chorus of Indian yells. He filed to LaChance.

Childs got his base on balls and McKean singled, but Jones took care of a tremendous liner by Burkett. Canavan beat out a sharp hit to Young in the homo team's half. Smith bunted along the first base line but in passing he gave the ball another rap to help it along. There was a kick during which Canavan stole third. Sheridan declared Smith out for Interference and ordered Caravan back to first, much to the dissatisfaction of the cranks.

Grim sent a fly to Blake and Payne was fielded out by Young. The sixth was exciting, as intimated above. Hits by Wallace, Blake and Tebeau In suc Taylor pressed Cooper hard for this place. Cooper did not start in the mile handicap, and Bald was shut out In the trial, owing to Juggling hy Mertens, Klser's team mate. Kiser finished fourth in this race, Just behind Teddy Goodman, who had 40 yards.

Steenson opened up hla sprint when Klser was in a bad position, and won before the Ohloan could get straightened out. Bald showed his speed after the races by a paced mile In 1:51 3 VIM. CLUB RACES. The prospect of seeing A. A.

Zimmerman return to the racing path drew a small crowd to tho now board track at Shooting Park in Newark yesterday. There were no accommodations for the thousand spectators. Zimmerman rode a half mile behind a quad manned by Hargan, Baldwin, Rigby and Blauvelt, covering the distance in 0:56 2 5, although he did not follow very closely. Tho trial showed that the famous rider is etlll very fast in spite ofhis two years of retirement and gives promise of seeing him in competition races again this year. He retains the same familiar attitude when speeding and his appearance was the signal or much cheering.

Owen, S. B. and O'Connor, K. A. won tho tandem race in a hot finish over Wirtz and Hague, Sims, seeing that he bad no chance, pulled him Sir Walter also was let up when his chance was found hopeless and finished sixth, with King Arthur II, Belmar, Ben Eder, Jefferson and The Swain, straggling in.

The time, 2:09, was exceedingly good, considering the condition of the track. Had Howard Mann been pushed he could, In the opinion of competent judges, have run the distance in 2:08, which would have been equal to a record breaker, had the track been good. It is conceded on all sides that the race was won by the best horse and, while many persons who are not conversant with racing rules arc to charge Pittsburg Phil with sharp practice In waiting until the last moment to scratch The Winner and enter Mann, the fact is that his action was not only perfectly legitimate, but usual and fair. While the race in some respects was not up to expectations, principally because it was not the close contest which has always characterized these contests, the fact that it was won by such a rank outsider fully made up for the disappointment In the surprise which it occasioned. The scene at the finish of the race simply beggars description.

The immense sea of people yelled and surged to and fro like a storm swept ocean. Hats werellunghlghinair and falling to the ground wore trampled out of all semblance to shape. Women waved parasols, wraps, handkerchiefs and oven tore their vails from their hats to welcome tho victor, adding their shrill falsetto to the general roar of male voices, until the welkin rang. People at the distance of a mile from the track, who from one cause or another were unable to be present, stopped in their occupations as the Immense volume of sound swept by them and remarked, "The race is over." Then came the trimmings, all of which were interesting. After the horses had pulled up and trotted back, the unsaddling, the weighing out, and then the riding about of the victor in the traditional floral horse shoe.

As soon' as it was lifted on high the multitude again broke forth in wild shouts of welcome to another great jockey, and he, sitting in the immense floral emblem, with a delighted grin on Mb face, carried the happiest heart of all the 20,000 which greeted him. The race was over. Those which preceded it, while they were all good, had only served as appetizers for the great event. Those which followed were simply nothings to the people. They were hardly watched, everyone being too much interested In discussing the great race.

The opening scramble, at six furlongs, resulted in a sensational finish between. Mistral, ridden by Maher, a 20 to 1 shot, and Arabian, ridden by Lambly. Mistral finally landed by a head, Arabian second, half a length In front of Yeman. The second race was won by Declare, but Sims had to ride him all the way to beat Bromo, who at one time was five lengths in the lead. Parmesan was third, two lengths farther back.

The Expectation stakes, of $5,000, the second event In interest on the card, went to Handball, who heat L'Alouette out a head. Coime Quick was third, three lengths farther back. Sly Fox was the good thing of the fifth race and was heavily played. He won as he pleased by three lengths from Blueaway, who was a length ahead of Demagogue. All but four of the Jumpers were scratched.

Sir Vassar, at 5 to 1, was an easy winner by three lengths, Flushing second and McKeo third. SHOOTERS WERE ACTIVE. cession filled the bases. O'Connor sent a hot one to Shindle, who beat the ball down and threw it to Grim, forcing Wallace. Young sent another to Payne, who passed the ball to Grim.

The latter Is turn Bbot the sphere to LaChance, completing a timely double play. Griffin sent a hot one past Tebeau, which Childs stopped cleverly. Young covered the base, but Griffin was there first. Sheridan surprised everybody by declaring him out. Jones filed to Blake and Anderson retired in the same way to Burkett.

The seventh was also exciting. Sockalexls reached first on balls. La Chance ran almost to third base for Childs' pop fly. McKean dropped a fly In center, which Griffin tried to trap unsuccessfully, although he nearly caught the Indian at that. On Bur kett's tap to Payne Sockalexls was caught at third.

Wallace reached first on Canavan's fumble and the bases were full. Smith got down on his knees for Blake's fast bounder and threw Wallace out at second. For Brooklyn Shindle got his base on balls and ran to second on La Chance's sacrifice. Canavan struck out and Smith hit sharply to Young for an out. The eighth was short.

Tebeau filed to Griffin. O'Connor reached first on Canavan's wild throw, but got no further, as Jones took Young's liner and Sockalexis struck out. Grim's sharp bounder to Wallace, a strike out for Payne and Griffin's fly to Blake disposed of the home team and sent the visitors to the bat for their last chance. It was a lively finish. After Childs had sent up a sure out to Griffin, McKean singled to center.

Burkett made the second out on a fly to Anderson. Wallace beat a slow one that rolled past Payne and Blake hit to left for a base, scoring McKean. Tebeau sent up a high one near the left field foul line on which Anderson made a good catch. Score: CLEVELAND. A.B.

12 Pittsburg Phil's Great Coup in the Brooklyn Handioap, RESULT A BIG SURPRISE. Howard Mann, Cleverly Ridden by the Western Jockey. "Sheets" Martin, Gallops In, Three Lengths in Front of Lake Shore 20,000 People Oheer the Winner of th' Greatest Event of the American Turf. The eleventh running of the Brooklyn Handicap was decided yesterday afternoon at the track of the Brooklyn Jockey Club at Graves end, and was witnessed by upward 20,000 people the largest crowd which has ever gathered on this track, if not the largest ever seen on any Eastern track. The winner turned up in Pittsburg Phil's rank outsider, Howard Mann, ridden by the Western lightweight, Sheets Martin.

It was another case of history repeating It Bell. Only once in the history of the race has been won by a favorite, but seldom has 4t gone to. surih a rank outsider as Howard Mann, and never has It been won easier. When Belmar's sbablenrate The Winner, was scratched, and Howard Mann was substituted in his place, everyone was surprised, but finally cams to the conclusion that the added starter was entered to make pace for the gTeat horse, Belmar, during the early stages, and that when his part was accomplished he would drop out. Of course the stabls was coupled In the betting, so that while everyone who backed it was in reality backing Belmar, they received the benefit of the coupling and won over the victory of Howard Mann Just the same as though they had backed him.

Free Advice, Harry Heed and Merry Prince were also scratched, but The Swain was added as a starter, Messrs. Covington Kent, his owners, believing that, with his light impost of 97 pounds and his liking for sloppy going, he had a chance. Some changes made in Handspring's form by removing his barred plate, arid hoof strap, as it was believed by his owners that he would not need them in the soft going. In the opening of the betting Handspring and the Smith stable ruled favorites at threes, Ben Eder being second in demand at 4 to 1, Sir Walter at 8 to 1, the rest selling at from 10 to IB to 1. As the betting proceeded, however, most of the money seemed to be going on the Smith stable and his price receded to 2 to 1, where it stood at post time, Handspring going back to fours.

Jefferson was also heavily played and his price went from 15 to 1 to 8 to 1 in a few moments. All of the others went back, Sir Walter and Ben Eder to 8 to 1, and the rest to from 15 to 50 to 1. The betting began on the big event long before the third race was off and the way the crowd surged around the sixty seven Metropolitan Turf Association layers and the hundred or more free lances on the dead line was simply appalling. Scores of men fought and battled to get near enough one of the pencllers to lay a bet, but after half an hour's struggle were forced to give it up and fight their way out of the throng, dishevelled, perspiring and exhausted. Such a pushing and jambing has never before been seen in a betting ring in this country and yet, withal, it was a good natured crowd, even the overwhelming desire to put a bet down on their favorites not bPing sufficient to ruffle their temper.

As to layers of odds themselves, they were in clover. They could quote any prices they pleased and were kept rushing to accept the money that poured in upon them. Pittsburg Phil had a dozen commissioners who understood just how to go about it, backing his interests and there was not a legitimate bookmaker in the ring but who was hit by the Western plunger for from $500 to 55,000. It is estimated that he must have turned a full $75,000 over the winning and even that figure is considered moderate by many. When at 4:20 the bugle sounded calling the horses to the post expectation was at its height.

Women and men fought for points" of vantage. The whole grand stand, both up stairs and down, rose en masse, climbed on chairs and railings, crowded the steps and rushed down to the railing of the track. The lawn in front of the stand was a perfect sea. of heads, across which one might almost have walked, so closely were they packed. The free field was not less packed than the main field, the people climbing up on coach and carriage wheels until the vehicles were black with clinging humanity.

In the center field the fence was crowded a dozen deep for the whole length of the stretch, a condition never before seen at the Brooklyn track. When, after a couple of attempts to form the horses in the paddock, the patrol judres ordered them cut on the track to form, a mighty cheer went up, which could be heard for a At last they were formed and marched down past the judges' stand, every horse looking fit to run for his life and good enough to be the winner of any event. Led by Handspring, who looked a gentleman, ail over, they cantered up to the head cf the stretch. Sir Walter was given the position on the rail and the rest were strung along, forming a gallant Bhow of blooded horses, color, dash and vigor. For the first time in his tory of the Brooklyn handicap the starting gate was lowered In front of the prancing line.

As though they felt the humility of being started in the same manner as ordinary hordes, these heroes Of many hard fought battles rebelled at first and the gate went up three times before Starter Pettingill was satisfied with the way they left the post. When on the fourth break the flag was whisked through the air a great Bhout of "they're off" from 20,000 throats rent the air. The start was not what might be called a good one. It was straggling. Howard Mann got all the.

best of it and before three bounds had 'been taken was a full length In advance. Then Martin took a firm hold on his head, refusing to force the pace and allowing the Swain to take the lead. He kept It on sufferance to the half, at which point his bolt was shot, the pace being too hot for him. In the mean time Handspring, Belmar and Loki were having a battle royal just behind, with gallant old Sir Walter in a pocket and the rest bunched. The pace was a hot one, considering the condition of the track, the first quarter being run in twenty five seconds, the three eighths in thirty seven and a half and the half in fifty and a half.

Just before the mile post was reached Martin seemed to think it w'as time to force the running, and lifting his mount he challenged The Swain, and after a brief struggle passed to the front, opening up a gap daylight. In a moment Hill had succeeded In getting Loki out of a pocket Into which he had fallen on the first turn, and following Mann, took second place, only a head in fror.t of Handspring, howover, with Sir Walter hanging gamely on to his withers. At the furlong post Mann was two lengths In the lead, going easily, with Martin sitting perfectly still on him. He looked a sure winner nothing but a miracle could rob him Df the victory. Just behind, a magnificent Struggle was going on between Loki, who was In second place, by a head, Sir Walter, who had pushed up and taken third place by a scant head from Handspring, and Belmar a nose further back.

The rest, excepting Jefferson and Ben Eder, were bunched. Ben Eder, upon whom many nad pinned their faith, was a beaten horse alt the threR quar ter's post, and Jefferson, who was too only horse outside of tno Smith stable, which was played down in the betting, had shot his bolt at the mile, and was in next to last position. At this point only a furlong from the finish, it looked as though Mann was a sure winner. Sir Walter was coming and might be second, with either Loki or Handspring third, when lo! out from the bunch sprung Lake Shore and Volley, Scher rer and Lambly riding as though for Hfe. They passed successively Belmar, Handspring and Loki and challenged for the honors.

Martin, who was riding easily on Mann, evidently considering the race, heard the clatter behind him and the wild shouts of the 20,000 excited people and, glancing over his shoulder, saw the coming Swain. Like a flash he changed the grip on his reins, cut his mount just once with the whip and then lifted him with a strength unexpected In a boy of his size. The gallant horse, responding gamely and lengthened his stride. Another glance over his shoulder convinced Dim that he had nothing to fear, however, and he again let up on his good horse, finishing an easy winner by three lengths. Lake Shore finished second, three lengths In front of Volley, who was a length in front of Loki.

Gallant old Handspring, weighted flown by his Impost of 125 pounds, laboring under the disadvantage of a. bad heel, fought gamely for his head even In the last few tildes, when he was hopelessly beaten, and Thousands Turn Out to Cheer Them to Victory. SHARP DOUBLE PLAY. It Comes at a Critical Point and Saves the Game for Brooklyn Brilliant Fielding and a Lively Batting Streak. Over Seventeen Thousand Spectators.

Other Decoration Day Contests Roc ord to Date. A vigorous outpouring of the cranks paid homage to their returned heroes at Eastern park yesterday afternoon. Just 17,600 of them crowded into the inclosure and tendered the players of the Brooklyn team a reception that must have made very one of them feel repaid for their creditable performance in the West. It was a reminder of the glorious association days, the rooting being spontaneous and sincere, a concerted letting out of the pent up enthusiasm which seemed to have been withheld for years. It showed the return of interest in the game for which Brooklyn was at one time famous and which will surely return permanently while Billy Barnle is at the helm.

The rain of the morning was costly to the management. Had the day been fine, so ripe were the patrons of the game for base ball, it is certain that the record for attendance in Brooklyn would have been beaten. In the afternoon everybody appeared to be bound Eastern parkward, and long before the time of calling play arrived there was not a seat to be had anywhere. The aiBles of the grand stand were crowded, while around the field were epeotaors a dozen or more deep. It showed the popularity of 25 cent ball, but alBO implied conclusively that with a winning team Brooklynites would pay anything for winning ball.

It would have been supposed from the ksen interest displayed and the noisy demons cra tlon which followed every move of the home team that the pennant depended on that particular game. Not only were Griffin and his men applauded when they took the field, but each Individual received an ovation whenever he did anything out of the ordinary. It was the first time in many a day that the crowd showed partiality to the home team, a cross fire of hearty and telling comments, yells, whistles and toots of horns being directed against Pitcher Cy Young, while the umpire was roundly abused whenever a close decision went against Barnie's men. There was a disposition to back up Griffin in whatever he did, to uphold him without question whenever he kicked against the umpire. That is the way the cranks do it in the West and many a game is won out there by Just such support of the home captain.

It was a wonderfully satisfactory homecoming for the team. Its work at the bat, in the Held and on the bases was certainly a revelation, compared with that of last year, there being an aggressiveness, spirit and ability throughout that gained the good will of the crowd. The men seemed to be able to sacrifice when necessary, an art which was lost last season. They batted fiercely in the first two innings, and after that, when Cy Young became effective, they appeared to hold the Clevelands under a double pull. Twice the visitors were dangerous and as many times they were blanked by really brilliant work.

Harley Payne maintained his reputation as Brooklyn's star pitoher, his command of the ball being remarkable. The ten hits made off him were divided among four men, the left handers being easy victims. He fielded his position well and kept his head in probably the most exciting period of the game. This was in the sixth, when the bases were full and nobody out. It was an opportunity of which the Clevelands tried hard to take advantage and the least slip would have cost the home team the game.

O'Connor hit to Shindle, forcing Wallace at the plate. Then Young sent a hot one to Payne, who fumbled the ball slightly, but recovered in time to throw Blake out at nome. wunour. a moment's hesitation Grim fired the ball to La Chance, doubling up Young in as brilliant a play as the crowd could wish for. They showed their appreciation by simply going wild with delight.

Both sides fielded prettily, despite the heavy field, Canavan's three errors being excusable fumbles which did not figure In the run getting at all. The scoring was done off the pitching, all of the runs being clean earned. Brooklyn did all of its scoring in the first two innings, but thereafter Young was very effective. His support was of the best, the only error charged against Cleveland being made by Young himself. It did not affect the score.

Considerable interest was manifested In Sockalexls, the Indian, who has created such a furore throughout the West. In his base ball costume It would take a close observer to pick him out from the rest. He Is a stalwart representative of the red men, his face being unmistakably that of an Indian. His actions, speech and everything else are civilized. He can coach in fine style and field wonderfully well, but he has yet to show his abilities at the bat and on the bases.

He was an easy victim for Payne yesterday and bore out the statements that hi cannot hit left handed pitching. It is probable that to day he will show his heavy hitting qualities and his fleetnese of foot. The Game. There was a ripple of applause when the Brooklyns took the field that grew into a roar as It passed through the grand stand to the field and reverberated back, growing in intensity until it was repeated in the grand stand again. It broke afresh when Payne entered the box and became a roar as the much heralded Sockalexls shot one to Cana van and was easily fielded out.

Childs received his base on balls, but the momentary lull became an ovation for Grim when he pulled down McKean's foul near the players' bench. The crowd broke out Into another cheer when Grim made a good try for Burk ett's tip. Anderson kept them in good humor by making an excellent catch of a line drive. Griffin received a well merited reception as he went to bat and drove thecrowd into ec stacles by sending the ball on a line to the bicycle track in deep left center for three bases. Jones kept the spectators guessing by knocking out a number of fouls, but he repaid the confidence of the rooters who yelled "Hurrah for Jones," by driving a pretty single to left, which scored an earned run for Griffin.

Jones went to second on Anderson's beautiful sacrifice along the first base line, which Young fielded Co Tebeau. Sockalexls ran into center field and made a remarkable running catch ot Shlndle's line drive, and Jones just avoided a double play by his sprinting abilities. La Chance made a bid for honors with a slashing hit to left for two bases on which Jones completed the circuit. Cana van ended the half by striking out. The second began with a base on balls to Wallace.

There was a mix up between Grim and La Chance on Blake's fly over the pitcher's box, but Grim settled the difficulty by making the put out. The clever backstop also took Tebeau's foul and Griffin had no difficulty in capturing a long fly by O'Connor. YouLng's stay in the box seemed destined to be short, as the Brooklyns kept right at him In their half. After Burkett had taken Smith's line drive to left. Grim, Payne, Orlf fln and Jones made singles In rapid succession.

Anderson forced JoneB at second and Shindle supplied a two bagger, all of which netted three earned runs. Two men still remained on bases when La Chanoe went to bat. He hit a ball to the plate, which rolled apparently foul and made no attempt to run. Sheridan called It fair and La Chance was an easy out, retiring the side. Young opened the third with a tremendous fly to deep center.

It looked good for a home run, but Griffin sprinted like the wind and made a groat catch with his back turned. He had to doff his cap several times when the half was over. Sockalexls had his second turn at bat and went out on another grounder to Canavan. Jimmy made a good stop of Childs' apparent safe hit past second, but he threw wild to La Chance and the runner got to second. He was left, as Payne took plenty ot time on McKean's weak tap to the pitcher's box.

Canavan led off for Brooklyn with a pretty tap to oenter for a base, but he was doubled up with 8mlth on the latter's bounder to McKean. The decision at first was questionable, as Tebeau had to reach far out to get the ball and apparently took his foot off the base. Grim followed with a single to left. Payne filed to Burkett. Burkott's liner was taken by Jones In the fourth and then Wallace shot the ball past LaChance for Cleveland's first hit of the game.

Blake hit to deep center for two The Brooklyn Bacer Finished Third in the Millburn. TIME PRIZE GOES TO ALEXANDER Ho Covers tho Twanty flve Miles in 1:17:09 Only Fifty one of the Contestants Finish Other Brooklynites in Hard Luck Lucken Breaks His Collar Bone Local Men Win at Newburg. Other Events. The ninth annual Irvlngton 'Millb'Urn was run under circumstances which would forever settle any question as to the pluck and hardiness of the young men who finished the ride. It was won by George a plucky Newark boy of 20.

He led P. R. Warren of Kearney and T. R. Goodwin of the Logan Wheelmen of this city by about sixty yards.

Warren beating the Logan wheelman by only a wheel. J. W. Holiis of New York was fourth. Tho winner, Warren, and HolUs were together on the six minute and thirty second mark, and they rode the distance together, changing oft pace, and thus helping each other along.

Goodwin, who was a minute behind them at the start, cut all of his own pace for the last twenty miles, making the pluckiest ride of the day. At the start he was the forty first rider and at the end of the first two miles he was in eleventh position, having set out for the limit men at once. This, too, over the worst part of the course the long hills known as the Three Sisters, which was without exaggeration two inches deep In the red clay mud. Had Goodwin had any one to help him along or any one to coach him to make his final effort for the limit men at the fifteenth mile or thereabouts he might have brought the prize once again to Brooklyn. Instead he did not go out until the last five miles and when he did so he caught the bunch, gaining a minute on them in that time.

The effort tired him, however, and when the final spurt came of the bunch of five he could beat only Hollls, fin ishing a half wheel behind Warren. Con radson, Goodwin's clubmate, had a bad fall. The other Brooklyn riders were unlucky to a disheartening degree, one of them, N. H. Luckens of tho Kings Countys sustaining a fractured collar bone.

H. R. Glentworth of the West Side A. New York, and J. D.

Ferry, of New Brunswick, were the only other riders seriously hurt out of the many who fell. Glentworth was badly Injured about tho head while Ferry had a sprained arm. The riders from the Kings County Wheelmen were very unlucky, Earl and George getting punctures and Relyea, Hall, Luckens and Laws all having falls. Hicks of the S. B.

W. also had a tumble that shook him badly. The riding of Alexander, who took first time prize, was very creditable, and but for several falls there might have been a different story, Shepard, the other scratch man, riding very well. Shepard had a fall in the early part of the race that loBt him about two minutes, but he made this up and overtook Alexander again, meeting with another tumble that put him out of the race. The time of 1 hour 17 minutes and 9 seconds was an average of not much over 3 minutes to the mile, very fast time when the condition of the road is considered.

His time at the first 5 miles was 10 miles, 15 miles, 20 miles, 1:00:45. The course record Is 1:08:21, made by Monte Scott last year over perfect roads. The way the fifty two riders finished is given below: Actual Handicap. Time. Rank.
