Windsor, Ont., Aug. 2.—Returning to Canadian soil for the first time since 1915, Grand Circuit pacers marked the opening of the glxday meeting at Devonshire park today by lowering two Canadian pacing rec ords. After Sanardo had clipped a full second off the exhibition mile record by covering the distance In 2:011-5, Single G, crack pacer of all time, lowered the Canadian record to 2:02 in the final heat of the free-for-all pace. It was Pop Gears’ day and the veteran reinsman observed It not only by driving Sanardo to the rec ord mile but by taking the first race on the card—the 2:06 class trot—in straight heats with My Rose Bud. Single O's fe^t in pacing the final milo of the free-for-all pace In 2:02. was the day's feature. After win ning the first two heats. Single G stepped out in front after the first half mile and made the final half mile In :58 4-5, considered remarkable time over a track adapted for run ning races. Diamond Axworthy, favorite in the first division of the 2:18 trot, re warded his hackers by winning the first heat but trailed Peter S in the next two. In the second division of the same event. Lady Bondsman won in straight heats. The following are the reunite of yes terday's twilight baseball contests: Metropolitan league. Walter G. Clarks. 4; U. P. Engine men. 3. South Church fa-ague.

Peck's Bad Boy Will Referee Trap Shoot at Chicago Chicago. Aug. 2.—Peek's llad Bay —George W. Peck—known to three general inns of readers of fiction, will referee during the Grand Amer ican trap shooting championships at Hie Noulli Shore Country club here August 20 to 25. George \V. Peck, son of the nu tlior of “Peck’s Hud Boy," George W. Peck, sr., who was governor of Wisconsin slid widely known news paper editor and writer, now Is a •uiot and industrious rltlirn. \Djmntfunyoris I CoMmm Saratoga, Aug. 2.—They had a horse race up here Wednesday called the Consolation. Tou may he surprised to hear It this early in the meeting, but that's what is needed around these parts as much as any thing else right now—consolation. Where the owners of the Saratoga race track make a serious mistake Is in having the consolation for the horses. They should hold It for the throbbing public. The only consolation In the equine contest hearing that name was for the persons, if any, who made gentlemen’s agreements to the effect that Neptune would win the heat, which Neptune did, Nep tune being a chestnut horse that can run like sixty. Neptune is owned by J. S. Cosden, who is in oil. Neptune was straddled by Chick Lang, a young man with an honest face, and Neptune was 3 to 1 among the big-hearted oralists on the lawn and in the elubhouse. Sunayr, belonging to Willis Sharpe Kilmer, the earl of Bing hamton, was popularly supposed to win the race, but you would be sur prised to know how far Sunayr came from winning. She—It’s that kind—was third. Ormesvale, from the barn of R. T. Wilson, jr., was second. This race is picked as a topic of conversation be cause there was nothing else on the card worth talking about. “It’s a bum show," said Mr. Tasker Ogle, inelegantly, ns he consulted his program of the day’s entertainment. “Yes, sir, It's a bum show. Still, it’s like the man said about the faro bank game when they told him it was crooked, ’I know it is, but it's the only one in town’.’’ The Consolation is for 3-year-olds and has a guaranteed rash value of $7,500. It Is run In two separate events, and is for kid horses nomi nated for either the United States Hotel stakes, the Brand Union, the Spinaway or Hopeful. Ormesvale ran the Held ragged for about four furlongs, with Sun ayr close at hand, then at (he head of the stretch Neptune eased up alongside and rambled on home with plenty of room to spare. That’s all there was to the race. A 50 to 1 shot gladdened a very few brave hearts in the fifth race, when Blentilt, belonging to Sain I.ouis, scrambled in ahead of Vala dor and Sunsinl. Not many could have been aboard, or the price would not have atuck at 30 to 1. Two inquiries on a horse brings the price down mighty speed ily up here. Nineteen two-year-olds went to the post for the last race. It looked like a cavalry troop as they went past the stands. They were stepping on one another's heels. Somebody dis tributed a warm tip on a young steed named Baldine. belonging to Jeff Idv ingstone. which opened at 60 to 1, and before you could even pronounce the name the price was tumbling. One oralLst held a ticket that would have obligated him to pay 516,000 to one hopeful gent in the event Baldine won and you rnuld hear the orulist's sigh of relief elear to Albany when Baldine tva* lost in the shuffle of horses cross ing the wire. Salaeia, belonging to Cl. D. Widener, was first with Sandy Sande booting her home. Harry Payhe Whitney's Miss Whisk was second. pretty well back, and Prisellla Ruley was third. Mr. Tasker Ogle expressed the opin ion that Salaeia is the greatest 2 year-old in the world, that no other 2-year-old that ever lived ran beat her. Yesterday's "dead heat" race Is still much under discussion. Tlie horses, Missionary and Deadlock, appropriately named, finished so dose together the rare is railed a "dead heat,’’ or. ns they would say in baseball, a “tie.” It Is, of'course, physically Impos sible for two horses to finish absolute ly even, without any variation what ever between them. There must have been some vari auce between Missionary and Dead lock, as they went under the wire. One horse was undoubtedly ahead of the other, thought It may have been by no more than the fraction of an Inch. What happened was this: Tlie variations was so slight it wan not discernible to the human eye, never infallible. The judge watching the two horses galloping under the wire could not detect the slightest difference be tween them. Nor could the eyes of ; anyone else at the track have de tected any difference. Therefore, they had to call It a "dead heat.” a "tie." Iiut the difference was there, you may he sure of that. There was bound to he a differ ence. The chance* against the horses Vic ing absolutely even ns they crossed the finish line are probably ten mil lion to one, If odds enn be that great. Had they frozen In their tracks Just as they hit the line it would un doubtedly have been discovered that one was a bit ahead. If by no more than the Inflation of a nostril. But no human eye could detect a difference that scant. The human eye cannot even follow the move ments of the hands of an expert card trickster.

The gate for the I^eonardTendler fight steamed up to six hundred thousand bills. That's plenty. Dempsey and Flrpo will probably snatch otf a million. The bugs are paying *22 for a crawl Into Yanks’ park. The fish paid $55 for a swim to see Carpenticr. And what will the squirrels pay for a scamper into the Dempeey-Klrpo revolving cage? Twenty-two washers for porch furniture at the light isn’t much if the boys teal' off a good battle. But it’s a lot when you figure that Gen eral Grant only got 111 a skir mish and 12 discs for a finish fight. The greatest fighter of them all was the Roughtown champion. He was a natural fighter and would fight at the drop of a clown’s hat. He has been fighting 70 years now and the biggest purse he ever got was 100 Scandinavian sardine cans. They offered him 50 official pic nic plates and his congressman prom ised him a package of free garden seeds. But Gink never collected the bonus. He was a real fighter und never charged admission. All his friends got in free. That’s the reason the arena was always empty. Reports from Paris state Hut Car pentier snubbed Battling Sikl when they met in the office of the Paris Daily Mistake, the biggest sport paper in France. The Roughtown champ never acted like that. He was always courteous to his opponents, often rising from the canvas to offer his antagonist a comfortable seat. The Itaily Mistake prints. "Mons.
