(Special to The Eagle.) Saratoga.

N. August 7 Trial by Jury, from the stable of Captain E. B. Caasatt, the Philadelphia turfman, was tried this afternoon by a Jury and found guilty. Said Jury was composed of 8.

L. Parsons, W. S. Vosburgh and F. J.

Bryan, who are the stewards of the meeting of the Saratoga Racing Association, and it Is comment enough to remark that said stewards are, to say the least, very Inconsistent. Not only are they Inconsistent, but they make decisions that are not in the Keeping wltn what the pUDUQ If i for a foul li toga; but Instead of putting the Leary horse back last, as they should have, place and disqualified Trial by Jury, which was twenty pounds the best horse in the race. The Interference come at th of the Travers Stakes, which Is one of from the Hallenbeck Stable, was made the favorite at 6 to 6. Saratoga was next in demand, while there was a good play on Trial by Jury, on which closed at 6s, Lady Rotha going to the her starter, being quoted at 26 to 1. which had the outside position, in an rort to get to the rail crossed over hit Trial hv Davie on the latter, consequently was knocked Into Lady Rotha, which was in the third position, and the Lady was almost sent to her knees.

When the field got straightened out, Trial by Jury was In front, and he kept the lead all the way. At the end Lady Rotha had recovered and coming through on the rail, outgamed Saratoga for second money, while the favorite had about as much speed as a car horse finished fourth. Immediately after the finish Gar-r. who rode Ladv Rotha. went Into the stand and made a claim of foul, and then Turner was called uo.

He gave his version and the stewards sent Davles was held to blame and Trial by Jury was disqualified and Is noted as being the rough- lowed to go scot free. lere Turner gets his pull, for the things are breaking it looks as the lad must have some Influence hind him. He has been riding foul year, but his offenses are always overlooked and some one else made the "goat." He surely seems to bear In another feature of the afternoon. the Sanford Memorial Stakes, Bulse, tho Western e.olt owned hv W. Par- rlsh, was the vlotor.

After that race Mr. Parrlsh said he would match his horse with any 2-year-old In tne country, and Bulse Droved today that he could beat the best. f.vear-olrl was George Smith. up until yesterday reputed to be the champion In the younger division.

George, In fact, went to the post favorite for the feature, while as good as oou be had against BUise. jacooa, from the J. O. Keene stable, also was fancied, while Bromo, the Whitney owned colt, running In the colors of In S.

There was noinmg to ins race nui Bulse. The Disguise colt, from the rail position, rushed to the front at the start and never was headed.

St. Louis, August 7 The ever- luting limit for foolishness was thought to have been reached wnen a U-y ear-old miss was paraded before 1,000 convicts, two weeks ago, In the Columbus Penitentiary and solemnly assured those persons that they were not to blame for their crimes.

He pulled an Ivory in he seventh inning that gave the St. Louis Cardinals the winning run in the game they won frort the Brooklyn Superbas by 6 to 4.

and established a modern record for the National League. Certainly, nothing like it has been done in the big show in recent years, so far as we I have seen or heard tell. Jack Miller was on third; Hyatt was on second and Dolan on first in the seventh, with two out. Miller Hug-gins was coaching at third. Appleton was all ready to pitch to Snyder when Huggins let out a yell and called to Appleton to throw him the ball, so he could see whether It had been cut against the stand by a foul tip.

Apple-ton, with true Southern courtesy, obliged by snapping the ball to Huggins. The latter just naturally sidestepped and let the leather roll to the stands. Gus Gcti Astounded and Lots Ball Go By. Gus Getz was so astounded that he stood with his mouth open as he saw the leather go by, but Gus recovered quickly and retrieved it, but not before Jack Miller had scored, Hyatt had taken third, and Dolan had moved i to second. That, In this progressive generation major league pitcher should fall for inai oia meg, almost passetn Dener, but such a pitcher fell today, and we 1 know his right name, too.

Even without Appleton's astonishing stunt the game was a wild and goolly affair that would have vastly leased the Brooklyn fans who have leen furnished so many freak plays i ts season, except that the score was on the wrong side. I In the first place, a heavy rain squall doused the park from 1 to 1:80 i p.m., and there were showers until 2 p.m. The St. Louis grounds were sup-! posed to be provided with a cover, as required by a new rule in the league. Instead of the entire diamond being covered, the groundkeepers had placed I over the pitchers' mound and the home plate tiny squares of canvas about big enough to make a nlght- shirt for the late lamented Tom Thumb.

The paths and other skinned able shape. Free Hitting, Despite Wet Meld. With all that slow footing, and with the ball constantly wet and soggy, no ope expected much hitting. There again the wlsenheimers were fooled. Brooklyn collected a triple by Otto Miller, a double by Stengel, and ten singles oft Hank Robinson and Lee Meadows.

St. Louis garnered a homer by Ham Hyatt, and twelve singles off Appleton. Instead of acting dead and soggy, the ball would go amazing distances on the slightest provocation. The homer bv Hvatt came in the first inning and landed on the roof of, the longest hits the oldest inhabitant could recollect. One hit which was reduced by the soft ground, was Otto Cozy Dolan's head and would have undoubtedly gone for fou rolled.

It did not roll, but kerplunk in the marshy bases if came down I remained where it lit. A minor diversion was a punk deci-f sion by Umpire Cockrlll In the seventh I that may or may not have cost Brook-j lyn the game. O'Mara opened the seventh with a single, and Daubert i sacrificed. Wheat walked. Cutshaw I slammed a grounder to Jack Miller.

Jack lost some time in skidding, but Anally touched second, forcing Wheat all rignt enougn. Cutshaw beat than a full step. Cockrlll called it a double play, and was unmercifully guyed by the St. Louis fans. Cockrill I has a tendency to call plays before tney are completed, ana it win him into serious difficulties.

Zack Wheat Makes Circus Play. I Looking on the brighter side. note that in the fourth inning Zack Wheat made a circus play when he I grabbed Snyder's brutal single to left I on, the bound, threw to second via O'Mara to Cutshaw, and snagged Snyder at that bag when Snyder i should have had at least a triple.
