It ought to be eaBy work for Pittsburg pitchers with such a team to support them, for it takes more than an ordinary drive to get through the infield and out of reach of those speed marvels in the outerworks.

No matter which American team wins out I am going to place a small wager on the Pirates to win the world's series." Another Brooklyn player remarked that Pittsburg's victory would prove the most popular Imaginable. He declared that the Cubs had been crabbing all year. Johnny Evers thought he could play off a while and no matter bow badly the team stood when he got back, bis individual efforts SrnntH. (Special to the Eagle.) Chicago, September 23 Rain again interfered with the Chicago-Brooklyn games and the double-header slated for yesterday afternoon at the West Side Park was declared off until this afternoon. As a result of the storm, the Cubs will lose one game altogether, being unable to play off one of the two postponed games.

The loss of this game will affect the West Siders practically the tamo as a defeat. For a time President Murphy considered playing three games to-day, one in the morning-and two in the afternoon, but after a conference with Manager Chance he changed his and it was decided to let it go and stage only a double-header. Manager Chance again announced that if to-day's games can be played. Ru (lolph Schwenk will nitch the first for the Champions and "Rip" Hagerman will be sent to the slab for the second.

Pittsburg, September 23 "Pitts-lurg has the best balanced team in either league," said Harry Mclntire o' the Superbas in a talk here the other day. "and one of the greatest hitting nines ever gotten together.

The outfit ia far superior to the one which finished right on the heels of the Cubs last year and the fellows work together a3 well as any manager could wish. In Chicago and New York they will tell you the Pirates rio not ploy inside ball. Well, whatever kind of hall they do play Is effective enough to beat the best they will run up against. "Byrne rounded out the team, filling in the only weak spot, and if the season were starting to-day Pittsburg would win In a walk. The Pirates are going at their top speed at present and I don't think they will lose four more games this year.

"If there ever was a better slugging team since the Old Phillies, when Lajoie, Delenanty and Flick were in the same hatting order, you will have to show me.

A home for veteran ballplayers who fall victims of consumption, to be established in Colorado and maintained by the club owners, or rather by the patrons of two major and two minor leagues, is the plan fathered by Bill Everett, the former Chicago National League star, whose home is in Denver. He hopes to see it put In effect within a short time.

As outlined by the veteran, only a decidedly moderate sum of money would purchase a comfortable home in Denver or its vicinity, and a small annual -income would maintain it, providing a superintendent, a nurse, when necessary, and the services of a physician. The necessary money Everett suggests raising by setting aside for a brief period 1 per cent, of the gate receipts of ell ganie3 played In the National and American Leagues and the American Association and the Eastern League. Admission to the proposed home would be, in that case, restricted to players who brought credentials from proper officials establishing the fact that tbey had played for at least orv season in one of the major leagues or of the minor leagues named. Only thosa suffering from tuberculosis or kindred aliments, for which residence in Colorado is almost compulsory, would be eligible. Detroit and Athletics Win.

Both Detroit and Philadelphia won their contests yesterday in the American League end there Is now a margin of 17 points between the two leaders. The Tigers had little trouble disposing of Washington by 8 to 3, scoring three runs in each of the last two innings.

Machines for Hudson-Fulton Flights Are Due Today. Showing their faith by their works, nearly ISO men of affairs Interested in aeronautics dropped all of their customary cares and assembled at the Lawyers Club yesterday afternoon at luncheon to do honor to Glenn H. Curtiss, the famous aviator, who brought back to this country the blue ribbon of the sky won by him at the recent international speed contest at Rheims, Prance. The function was under the auspices of the Aero Club of America, and A. Holland Forbes, Its acting took charge of affairs and officiated as toastmaster.

Many men prominent in aeronautic circles were present, the guests at the table of honor, including J. C. McCoy, Colgate Hoyt, Elbert H. Gary, Charles Jerome Edwards, St. Clair McKelway, George 1.

Wilson, Controller H. A. MeU, Samuel H. Valentine. Herbert Parsons, William Berri, AlajrR.

Hawley, Frank N. 'Double-day and R. J. Collier. Others present were Clifford B.

Harmon. A. M. Herring, George H. Guy, Thomas S.

Baldwin. Albert C. Triaca. Augustus Post, W. J.

Hammer, Ernest L. Jones, A. Leo Stevens and Wilbur R. Kimball. Taken all in all, it was a goodly gathering of enthusiasts, and when Mr.

Forbes at the coffee and cigar stage of the banquet introduced the guest of the occasion and banded him the club's gold medal, their pent-up emotions found vent in an outburst of hand-clapping that was soon merged lull hearty cheers. Meantime the Hammondsport aviator was looking fixedly at the stamped piece of gold in the red morocco box he held In his hand, and when quiet was restored said In an even, penetrating voice: "I want to express my thanks to the Aero Club of America for the splendid reception it has accorded me. I am very proud of this medal and shall always treasure it. And I am glad to get back to the United States. 1 have been sked to speak about the winning of the James Gordon Bennett Cup, and about monoplanes and biplanes, and the future of (aviation and a number of other interest ing subjects, wen, now tnai i manageu to get the cup without much trouble, I will leave the telling about it to someone else." Laughter and applause greeted this modest response, and Toastmaster Forbes introduced Controller Metz, who lauded Curtiss as an honor to the city.

He was followed by Colgate Hoyt, who told a story about John D. Rockefeller's negotiations for the purchase of a horse. Whn that eminent financier expressed surprise at the price $5,000 the dealer, according to the story, turned to him a nd said: "Look here, Mr. Rockefeller, you've been investing all of your life in 'Has-beens' or This horse is an "And that's what 1 say about our honored guest." continued Mr. Hoyt.

"He's an When the merriment thereby occasioned bad subsided, the chairman introaucea St. Clair McKelway as one who had seen the race at Rheims from the ground and asked him to tell those present how it looked fron. there. Mr. McKelway was greeted with abuudam applause as ne arose, and said: "My friends.

I intend to speak briefly, but as the oldest aeronaut present, my memory extends over a length of time in which many things have occurred that bave since become a part of history. I was at Rcems. Ranzs or however you pro nounce it, and 1 saw the experimental trials made by our guest with his aeroplane in the early hours of the morning. In the afternoon I went to the shed where it was kept, and looked it over carefully, thankfully and thoughtfully. "The press of France, and England and all of Europe have told of the successful flight of our guest of honor to-day.

and there are plenty of men of knowledge here who can talk technically on the subject. But as a man with many years of experience in bis work. 1 want to express my gratitude that the cup presented to the speediest aviator in the world, by the proprietor of the New York Herald, was won by an American. "I remember in 1867, a balloon trip that was started from a vacant lot at Greene street, corner of Broome. The party drifted over to Goshen, and then back over the rover, and finally landed at the lower end of Long Island.

They descended, to the great surprise of a number of agriculturists returning from their potato fields. After the trip was over one of the voyagers wrote up his experiences with more or less acceptability for the newspaper with which he was connected and also for the Scientific American. That aerial traveler was very glad. gentlemen, when he landed. It was myself, and it is because of that experience 1 claim to be an older aeronaut than sev eral others who are far better." Mr.

McKelwav was followed by former Judge O'Gorman. who spoke of the pleas ure it gave nim to see a New Yorker bring fame and distinction to his city and state. "I am glad to see." continued the judge, "that even Ohio, willingly takes second place In' a procession in which New York leads the van. One citizen of New York has discovered the North Pole, The Hildreth habit of running stake horses in selling races, probably engendered because there are so few stakes, met with a check yesttwday when some one else tried to take it up. G.

F. Johnson, who paid $2,900 for High Private at the recent Forsythe sale, won his third race under such conditions yesterday and lost the horse. fimithson with an advance of $1 Knn over the 2.500 entered nrice. took1! away the good 3-year-old. It was the largest runup since the Saratoga meeting, and was made In a single bid.

High Private Blmply toyed with his field all the way. Two other good horses are in selling races to-day, but both are owned by Hildreth, and he seldom faces a runup. They are Firestone and Moquette. toe last-named of which brought $3,900 at the same auction where High Private was sold. There is little question about the entry of men fine horses in selling races affecting the attendance and 'the general public interest In racing.

Their appearance among the' cheap ones means extremely short prices, such odds as 1 to 5 having ruled about High Private, 1 to 6 about his last time out, and so on. Be the authorities ever so active, there is little question that many journey to the course to make Uieir friendly wagers, and with such little inducements as heavy odds-on so frequently occurring, many are staying away. Still, when a man does own such a classy string as Mr. Hildreth's. it is hard to say what he will do with them except run them as he does.

They have to pay expenses; the betting Is curtailed so enormously by the oral wagering that they are useless as purely betting tools, so the only thing is to have them take as many stakes and nurses as possible to swell the stable account. Considerable comment has been made about Butwell's riding by some of the captious critics, and it seems to many that it has been unjust. The boy is earnest in his efforts to land his mounts in front and time and again has snatched victory from apparent defeat by his heady riding. The same praise was accorded Charlie Grand during the Svatoga meeting, but since returning to the Long Island tracks Grand has "tailed off" immeasurably. Time and again his horse is beaten within the first sixteenth of a mile, his alertness at the post seemingly having passed completely.

Then again his finishes have not been the hustling efforts but our guest is more fortunate than Dr. Cook because he had so many witnesses. "No man can pluck the laurels from brow won on a day and time that stirred the American heart, and brought to us great rejoicing." Mayor J. Barry Mahool of Baltimore, in a humorous way urged the Aero Club of America to have the next race for tho international cup held in that city. He said its Aero Club was combined with that of Washington, and that his city had hospitality, determination and money as some of its attractions.

The occasion closed with three cheertf for Cortlandt Field Bishop, the president of the club, and the sending of a cable message to him to Europe on behalf of those present. Glenn H. Curtiss adde I a few words on his own account. No feature of the occasion pleased him more than the tribute from Wilbur Wright, with whom he is at loggerheads in a lawtiuit about patent rights. Mr.

Wright says: "I join in giving tribute to the man who has shown himself possessed of the qualities necessary to wiu races, whereby the credit of America in that line has been maintained." Later in the day Curtiss isaw the Dayton aeroplanist in his shed at Governor's Island, and they had a few moment's of friendly chat. Curtiss thinks he will make his first flight around the Statue of Liberty. He starts for Hammondsport to-day, where his townsfolk have prepared for him a reception whose like that hillside hamlet has never seen before.

The latter will not return to this city until Sunday. He has accepted an engagement to fly at the St. Louis centennial celebration in October for $6,000. YACHT RACE CALLED OFT. There will be no race for the "Queen of the Bay" this year.

The contest, for which Commodore Francis M. Wilson of the Crescent Athletic Club gives a cup each season, was to have been sailed on Gravesend Bay yesterday. The fog and the rain took the heart out of the sailor-men, and More Joy was the only one of the regular entries to report at the start-in: line. More Joy was half an hour late, however, and by the time she had arrived. A.

F. Aldridge. director of yachting in the Crescent Athletic Club, had started a dory and a Class boat in a special race over a short inside course. The boats were the 15-footer Gunda, sold last week by F. S.

Noble to Davis and Eagle of the Atlantic Yacht Club, and Mouse, which now belongs to Bartow S. Weeks. Gunda allowed Mouse 3 minutes over the course. Gunda won easily, however, finishing at 4:45:57 aeainst the unletting time of Mouse. of the Spa days.

He is getting plenty of mounts and some good ones, too, but his record since August 28 cannot be compared to the previous three weeks of riding. There are so few good jockeys in America that such a falling off in form is to be regretted sincere'- and Grand's admirers, there are many of them still, hope he will take an immediate and substantial brace in his work. There were some fine workouts over the yearling track at Sheepshead Bay this morning: shortly after 10 o'clock. Before that time thero was a heavy fog over both courses and the trainers did not care to send their horses along in it. But when it lifted James Rows let down Affliction, Maskette and Grasmere of Mr.

Keene's string and Hildreth sent along Filz Herbert. The time, fractionally, of the gallops, follows: A miction. i4S-3, 1l02. 113 1-5, 1 i2H 1-5, 1)41 a-5, Ii55 2-5, riddeu oat, MarHlinll up. MaxUetle, i23 3-5, 1.35 3-5, i47 3-ff, 150 4-5.

The unlucky filly of the Italian, brigade had another Italian-owned horse, St. Joseph, as the principal contender yesterday, but easily proved his better. Zacatecas merely had to gallop In the opening dash and Curly Locks was as easily second best. In the Bteeplechase the ridiculous move of making Lynne-wood, an almost green jumper, the choice, was The horse, with Rising Sun, fell the second time around. Kermath had his collarbone broken and Kelleher was knocked out for a few minutes.

It was only a gallop for Essex to win. Both horses which fell were remounted by bystanders and finished, Rising Sun getting the $200 second money and the favorite the $100 third. The event was one of the best of the cross-country affairs as far as money went, $800 being added. But only three started, showing plainly the futility of trying to preserve stecplechasing as a sport in this country. In addition to the run-up of High Private yesterday, there was other selling race action when General MacGregor was claimed by T.

E. Mannix, trainer of Madeline L. The General was highly tried for this race but Madeline L. was the only one he beat. GREENTOINT Y.
