It Sent In Two Runs After Childs Had Made an Error Miller Pitches a Good Game A New Third "Baseman Secured Promise of Interesting Developments at Chicago Other Contests on the Diamond. (Special to the Eagle.) Cleveland, June 23 There was no disgrace in yesterday's defeat.

The Brooklyns, who have recovered their batting form, faced a pitcher in Zeke Wilson who has always been a stumbling block for them and went down by the narrow margin of 5 to 2. Miller pitched a fine game, but coniS not keep the Clevejands well enough in check to get the victory, both sides fielding nicely, but the single error charged to each figured In th run getting. Childs scored the first run for Cleveland on his single and McKean's double. The home team got three more in the third on an error by LaChance and three hits. The score remained at 4 to 0 until the eighth, when Cleveland added another run, aften which Sheckard brought in two runs for Brooklyn with a drive to right for two bases.

Miller opened the half with a single, but was forced by Griffin. With Jones out LaChance hit to McKean and the chances for scoring seemed to be gone. Childs muffed the throw, however, and Sheckard's hit did the rest. Manager Eb'bets said to day that he had purchased the release of Third Baseman George H. Magoon of the Brockton, New England, league team.

Magoon comes well recommended beside having an excellent batting and fielding average. He will join the club in a few days. The Brooklyns finish up their series here to day and then go to Chicago. President' Eb'bets intimates that there will be some interesting developments when he reaches the Windy City. It is believed that one or two new players will he secured while there.

The reason for this was that there was a big cash prize list in all the open events. The race for the most red flags was a matter of interest to a number of experts from the start. Ross, who was in fine shape at this target, rolled up the flags with comparative ease until he had scored 46. This gave him first prize, a question of $30. Flack scored 41 and took second prize; Hausen took third prire on 34.

Busse scored 32 and Schlicht 24, so 'that all five prizes went to Zettler men. At the ring target thirteen of the twenty prizes went to Zettler men.

Much incenvenience and a general breaking of the rules of the Coney Island Jockey Club were caused at the Sheepshead Bay track yesterday by the which swept ever the track. The crowd was a large one, the field stand being especially well filled.

When, just before the fourth race, a heavy shower was seen to be imminent. Superintendent Clarke went to the uncovered field stand and invited all the women to go into the grand stand to escape a wetting. They all accepted the invitation, but the men were not included in it and were kept back by the policeman at the gate. When the rain began to fall, however, the field pations rebelled and, going to the gate, demanded admission into the grand stand as a protection from the rain. The policeman at the gate refused the permission and the spokesman began to argue.

Then some one in the rear shouted: "Oh, go on through; we will back you up!" and with a mighty shove these in the rear pushed the front rank through; carrying away gate, policeman and all before them. The policeman fought gallantly and struck the first man in the face with his fist. Then lie was overpowered and thrust aside and the field patrons swarmed into the grand stand out of the rain. Nothing but expressions of sympathy for the field patrons were heard and the association was criticised for not allowing the men to go into the grand stand in the beginning without forcing them to resort to violence. Fortunately, the shower passed before the last race and the way home was not so wet as it had threatened to be.

The Zephyr stakes, for 2 year olds, found Kingdon so heavily weighted that Sir Hubert was made favorite in the opening betting. The public still stuck to Kingdon, however, and they went to the post even favorites at 7 to a.

He may have it in great abundance, of many varieties and may have plenty of time in which to enjoy it, but the THE' X.ONG ISLAND RAILROAD man who has friends with whom he may share the joys which are the product of his labors has far greater joy in all that he does and has.

Hence your cheerful presence upon this festive occasion gives us substantial assurance that you have au interest in us and also in the work which we have just completed. The pleasure which comes to us when we realize that a definite period of our life's work is done is greatly intensified by the fact that we have with us the friends, patrons and promoters of a system of education which is the foundation of a government that to day stands pre eminent among the nations of the world as a government which not only protects the rights of its own citizens, but with the dignity and majesty of its mighty sovereign, the American people is championing the cause of a liberty loring but downtrodden neighbor."

There Is a Reward of $150 for Conviction of the Offenders Kings County Wheelmen's Seventeenth Consecutive Annual Race Meet Brighton Beach Railroad Crossing at St. Marks Avenue to Be Repaired Notes. Quite a scene was created on Greene avenue, between Fulton and Cumberland streets, yesterday afternoon by the discovery that some malicious individual had scattered several boxes of tacsks on the asphalt on the right hand side of the car tracks there. The tacks were there literally in handfulls and there must have been several thousands scattered along the street between Fulton and Cumberland and the adjacent two cross streets, the majority, however, being near the beginning of Greene avenue. Someone carried the news into the office of the Postal Telegraph Company across the street and the manager set several messenger boys at work sweeping and picking the tacks from the street.

Wagon wheels had crushed a number into the asphalt and it was difficult to get some of these out. Ex President Angell of the Good Roads Association happened along and he and a number of other interested spectators soon cleaned the thoroughfare of the dangerous obstacles to cycling, all riders being warned to the other side of the street in the meantime. Mr. Angell pronounced the trick the most dastardly of its kind that had ever come to his notice, and he offered to give $100 for the detection of the guiity miscreant in addition to the $50 standing reward offered by his association in eases of the kind. The incident attracted quite a large crowd and had the offender been caught he might have suffered from the indignation of the spectators Many tires were punctured.

Kings County Meet. Saturday afternoon, if pleasant, will see the seventeenth consecutive annual bicycle race meet of the Kings County Wheelmen at Manhattan Beach, making the longest record of any cycling club in the world. All previous meets under the same auspices have been famous for good, clean sport of the very first class and the programme for the coming tourney, assisted by one of the greatest entry lists on record, with the added star event of a big middle disiance paced race, gives evidence that the club is still up to the times Unlike many other meets run under club names the Kings County's tourney is run bv and for the Kings County Wheelmen only and thus the meet has only amateur backing yet backing of the highest class. In the president of the organization, George A. Needhara who for several years was the captain of the club, and who for several years also has been the chairman of the race committee an office of such importance in this club that it is made elective the club has probably as clever a manager for its races as can be found.

Previous meets at the three tracks in this section this season have tended to show that the racegoing crowds whilo always good at a top notch match, are greatest when there is something else of interest to be found in the vicinity of the track. Cyclists are famous patrons of a good table and they also like to lounge around a bit in pleasant surroundings. For this reason the Manhattan track will always draw a good crowd when the other attractions at the Beach are in full blast. By the same token the racing season can hardly be called quite opened at Manhattan until after the hotels have started for the season. All of these will be in operation by Saturday and all of the summer transportation schedules on the various railroads and street car lines will be operative, and the crowds can thus be accommodated every few minutes.

In addition to this regular summer schedule there will be special cars on the Long Island Railroad and upon the elevated road and these cars will be kept in waiting to carry the crowds back home immediately after the racing. Thus everything points to a good crowd at the meet and until it is over and the attendance reckoned the critfes who have predicted that it will be a losing game thi's year will have to remain quiet. In addition to the interest in the Titus Linton match paced race every short distance rider of not in the professional ranks will be seen. Not one is missing and the racing should be of the exceptional kind. Taylore and Newhouse Rochester, XT.

June 23 The fifteen mile paced race between Edouard. Taylore and W. J. O'Leary yesterday was an easy win for Taylore, who lapped O'Leary six times ou the third mile track at Culver Park this afternoon. O'Leary was taken sick at the third mile, but pluckily finished out 'the race.

Tay lore's time was 28:32. The half mile professional handicap was won by Al Newhouse of Buffalo, who beat out Major Taylor in the final right at the tape. The time was 1:01 flat. The one mile amateur was won by J. C.

Street Commissioner Farrell has secured the necessary funds with which to repair the crossing of the old Brighton Beach Railroad at St. Marks avenue and this most important improvement will be begun at an early date. There have probably been more wheels wrecked at this crossing than at any one other spot in the borough and the news that It will be made safe is gratifying to the cycling.
