Once upon a tlmo In tho days of
long ago "Cap" Anson hammered a
ball over tho fenco, but refused to
advanco farther than third base, al
though ho was cntitlod to a homo run,
and his team was thrco runs behind
at that time. Why?
Well, in thoso days tho catcher
played back until thero was a man on
base. Connlo Mnck happened to be
tho catcher that day and Whitnoy was
tho pitcher for tho club opposing tho
Chicagoans, Anson figured that It ho
llngorod on third Mack would have to
movo up hack of tho batter and Whit
noy would bo forced to pitch slower.
Anson know that ono run would bo

However, Connlo follod tho shrowd

took up his station back of tho batter
and Ed Williamson fanned, loaving

GRAND CIRCUIT HAS BIG YEAR

The grand circuit, with its thirteen

has been tho life of tho trotting in

pooled now champions this year, but
for gcnernl speed the season Just end
ed wm a whirlwind, and from tho
viewpoint of high-class racing and
cloau racing It was tho best in tho
grand circuit's long history.
At tho beginning the most momen
tous yenr of all was anticipated on the
form of several horses, but u terrific
match race early in tho your took tho
edge off two of tho greatest trottorB
that ever looked through a bridle
Leo Axworthy and Peter Volo and
while tho Inst named four-year-old did
recover to win In tho fastest two heats
ever trotted by a stallion, 2:0234, his
form was not full, nnd now that he has
been permanently retired tho world
will never know tho capacity of this
marvolous trotter.
Then tho promise of some rare pac
ing was spoiled when C. K. G. Billing
bought William and retired him from
tho racing turf. Mnrgarct Druicn found
nothing that could extend her during
tho tlmo she was at her best, and
Etawnh never reached tho form ex
