Peter Manning
Sets Record On
; 'Columbus Track
Columbus, O., Sept. 23. Grand
circuit racing was resumed yesterday
after a lapse of two days, account
of rain. The spectators were enter
tained not only by thrilling finishes,
but also by thc time trial of Peter
Manning, 1 :5S, who lowered, the
track record of 2:01 set nearly a
decade a.cro by -The Harvester. Ac
companied by a runner, he went to
the half in 59 seconds and it ap
peared for a moment as if he would
equal his own record or break it.
However, wind slowed him up and
he passed the wire in 1:59 1-4.
Guardian Trust, met his first de
feat of the season when he lost the
Horse Review Futurity trot for 3
y ear-olds, "one heat of which was
raced Tuesday. " Guardian Trust
made stretch breaks and Rose Scott
won the two heats contested today
and first money.
Vokoc Laces
Ivy In
Bout
New York. Sept. 23. Splendid
pitching by Hoyt and strong hitting
by Ruth and Tipp enabled New York
to win the first of an all important
four-game series with Cleveland to
day, 4 to 2. Hoyt was in trouble in
only one inning, the fourth, when
Cleveland scored its two runs on
Gardner's single, Scwell's triple and
a wild pitch. In the last five in
nings, Cleveland only got three men
on bases.
Covcleskic also pitched well for
Cleveland but met with his usual
poor luck against the Yankees, who
have defeated him five times in six
games this season. New York also
clinched this year's series from
Cleveland, today's victory being
their 12th as against seven for the
Indians. Ruth emerged from a bat
ting slump, knocking three doubles
and drawing a base on balls in four
times up. He scored after each of
his three hitc, though he pulled up
lame after running to second on his
third two bagger.

ball still has it's hard hitting right
ficldcn. but more is demanded of
right fielders today than mere bat
ting skill.
tor all around worth, Ross
Young, the speedy Texan playing
rignt ncici lor iicuraws Oiants.
must be placed' at the top of the
rignt nciaers considered in connec
tion with the world's series.
Young can't slug as well as either
Hob Meusel of the ianks or Elmer
Smith of the Indians, but lie is far
better fielder than his Yankee rival.
Though bothered for quite a spell
with a maimed ankle, which inter
fered with his natural speed, Young
has sparkled in right field and on
the bases for tiie Giants all season.
The writer considers "Pep," the
leader of McGraw's outfielders.
Though not a slugger like Meusel.
Young is banging away for a .333
batting average, his extra base bag
up to Labor day, including 21 dou
bles, 15 triples and three home runs.
His one weakness is against left
handed pitchers.
A Poor Fielder.
Bob Meusel, Yankee outfielder, is
an odd type of athlete. Bob seldom
steers a middle course; he is either
very good in one line or very poor
in another. From a fielding stand
point, Meusel last year was one of
the poorest fielding outfielders in
cither league. This season he has
improved considerably in judging fly
balls, but he still lacks considerable
of being a finished outfield per
former. With the exception of Bab3 Ruth,
no playef can hit a ball as hard: or
as far as Bob Meusel. Thirty-eight
doubles, 14 triples, and 18 homers up
to Labor Day,, attest to this fact.
The Yankee Meusel also Iiks the
best throwing arm in the game, a
whip which is an absolute wonder
to behold. It isn't often that base
runners try any tricks with Bob's
arm, but 28 assists are mute testi
mony of Bob s rifle peg.
Both Pittsburgh and Cleveland go
in for the right field shift. Gibson
has been alternating George Whitted
and Davey Robertson, while Elmer
Smith of Cleveland; surrenders his
post to Joe Wood . whenever left
handers oppose Cleveland.
v Veteran of Two Series.
Whitted has been bothered con
siderably with poor legs this season,
which kept him out of, the Pirate
lineup "during important stages of
the' race. ;.'. V ' j
Whitted, however, still is a ctafty
player when in condition' to show
his true form. He is a veteran' of
two world's f series, in neither of
which he showed anything convincf
ing at bat. In the Brave-Athletic
series of 1914, he hit .214, while he
was a terrible bloomer the follow
ing autumn, . when the Phillies met
the Red Sox, making only one hit in
five games, off the Boston pjtchers
for an average of .066.
. Robertson has played well with
Pittsburgh since the mid-season deal,
which sent him from the Cubs tc the
Bucs for Pitcher Ponder. He is slaor
ping the ball for a batting figure of
3o0, outhitting hittcd by nearly
:0 points. ...
Batted .500 in Series.
In - the 1917 Gaints-White Sox
world's series, Robertson hung up
the remarkable batting percentage of
5U0, getting U hits in 22 batting
tries, but his fielding did not match
his hitting. A bad outfield muff in
the last game was especially dis
astrous to New York.
Elmer Smith's home run exploits
late in the season have won him al
most as much notice in the public
prints as Babe Ruth.
Elmer has a penchant for unvinK
balls over' right field fences. Bur
leigh Grimes probably never will
forget one ball which Elmer lost in
Cleveland last fall with the bases
full. -
The Cleveland right fielder
hitting .306. and ranks next to
Meusel in slugging with 27 doubles,
8 triples and 15 home runs. Smith
'also is a splendid outfielder, with a
grand throwing whip. He batted .308
against the Dodgers last season, but
was at hat only 13 times, as Robinson
Used his left banders Smith, Mar
quard and Mitchell quite coiiiistcnlly
in his losing battle against the In

Another noticeable feature of high'
school foot hall this year that is
pointed out by followers of the sport,
is the rapid improvement of western
Nebraska high school foot ball teams
and the calibre of play. Alliance has
five veterans back for 1921, while
Scottsbluff has 10 letter men as a
foundation for the new aggregation.
Albion reports six old men back
and Ashland has nine letter men en
rolled as a nucleus. Thirty-candi

while a string of veterans are out at
Pawr.ee City. Hastings material is
abundant and looks good, says re
ports from that camp, Omaha Cen

Cambridge, winner of last year's'
title, is getting off with six letter

lost many of its men but is looking
to new niaicrial for development.
York High has seven old men back,
as has the aggregation at Geneva.

Spite Work Caused Attack
On Grain Mart, Says Omahan

charge made last night by H. A. But

Falling prices, Mr. Butler said,
