Out of the 14? combats waged over the Ak oval no less than 53 of these were decided with the flying steeds lapped on one another. The figures just compiled show that 53 events were so close that the judges had to hear down on the sighting line and figure almost to the inch—for noses, heads and necks were so plentiful as to give the staid gents of title turf the shivers. Tlie formfulness of the sport speaks a tribute to the stewards in the stand who controlled the sport. Any track which can show more than 40 per cent of the favorites winning is In deed to be congratulated. General Manager Charles I.. Trim ble, the Ak-Sar-Ben Racing associa tion head, has every light to be elated ovrr the outcome of the present meet ing. "I feel the sport we have offered has been high class.” stated Trimble. The racing was clean and I am sure it was interesting. The attendance proved that much to me. J have great hope* for the future of racing m Omaha. Horsemen have assuted me of their co-operation—and I know practically all of them are big boost ers for Ak-Sar Ben. Most of the principal stables will be back with us In the fall. I have been told that many other atrings now campaign Ing in the enet will drop In on us enroute to Tiajuana’s winter meeting. “I wish to thank the press and the public for their hearty support. They have made our meeting a successful venture. The thoroughbred has a home in Omaha, I know, and I feel he i lias come to stay. "One evidence of the lore and feel ing of Omaha people for the thor oughbred I can point to with a rreat deal of pride. After the storm Tues day had taken the lives of four of our blue bloods f received dosens of expressions of sympathy. They fame from the heart. ”[ think we can look to even better meetings in time to ronte." Th* stable of C. B.

The King's Cup, the Chamber of Commerce handicap and the Nebraska handicap, and was sec < nd in the Stockyards Derby. Aba dane won the Queen's Plate and then fell lame or would doubtless have been heard from In the other events Tlie linker stable, the horses of the Jones stock farm anil William W'ranf also scored frequently. They finished among the select “first six.” Riding honors went to Ollie Clark, the promising young appentice in the employ of I,. C. W hltehill. Clark ap l>ears to he a coming star of the | saddle. Fritrie Weiner gave < Isrk s run for first honors, and Jake Ifeupel. although he was present for only half of the meeting, pressed the leaders closely in winning mounts. The longest price paid hy any vie tcrlous horse went to Blue Van This old gelding cashed on# afternoon to th* surprise of everyone at odd* of 61 to 1. Th# shortest odde for th# meeting fell to the portion of All Over. When the big Irwin hors# trimmed Speed hall by the narrowest of margins they pnld off at the rale of 40 cents to a dollar, later Go Foln paid th# some figure after coming down to outnose Peter Brown. The stewards Controlled the sport in a splendid maimer and are highly deserving of praise. Judges Ashe ami shelley are men id vast experience and never were seen to better advan tage than during the Omalm raring , So satisfactory was the raring that | not a single ruling had to be made ; against a horseman.

In an interview hers the other day he said: Batting a veraget will not be as high this year as they have been for tht list few years, in my opinion. It looks to me at though the man who can hit .375 in the National league will lead the league, maybe by 25 points. There are two reasons why I think the aver ages will be lower. In the first place, the pitching this year is better than it has been for some years, and, in the second place, the lively ball is be ing taken out. The change in the balls is being made gradually, but a few of the old type get into play every day. You can tell them easily, simply by taking hold of them. The covers aren’t as tight as they are od th» lively halls and this makes it ra«v for the pitchers to scuff them up and get a better grip on them." "In your opinion who is the best pitcher In the league’’" "That’s not an easy question to answer. Vance, for one. seems to me to he a better pitcher than he was, and there aren't many as good as he, but I guess I d give the palm to Alex ander. There are a lot of pllehert who have as much stuff as Aleck, and quite a few who have more; but I don't think any of them is as smart or has as good control." • 'll)A(C1D - Results AQUEDUCT.
