Favorites wero In n norry plight nt tho
Imposition park races yesterday. In four
rvcntH not ono was ridden to a winning nnd
tho books were touched up to n consldcrnhlo
Litem on tho successful long shots.
A good crowd whs present and tho betting
was moro extensive than on any day yet.
Tomorrow Is tho Int day of tho meet and,
Judging from tho attendanco and Interest
nt ytntcrtlay's running ihero will bo a law
number of eiithusIaRts on hand this after
noon, most of them ready buyers, too. To
mako tho last day especially memornbla
nnd successful tho management announces
hlx races, nil of which will bo crammed with
cntrh.
No particularly startling event can bo
picked from Saturday's card, as thero wcro
no hairbreadth Multibus nor sensational de
noutiients gcuernlly. Horses won clear to
tho good In overy went, but time was by
no means slow im a consequence. Tho sec
ond event, In fact, enmo within a fraction
i f u second of breaking tho track record
for tho distance, Uirec-fourths of n mile.
Six horse startml In this fast race, Dora
O being favorite at 3 to fi. Alcroy, howover,
n'artcd nwny fiercely nnd kept n good lead
till tho last iiuarter, with Fred Heed nnd
Hilly Van pushing up. Along In tho lnt
eighth Fred forced Alcroy out of It nnd they
finished ono, two. ltnstus was third. After
oiico taking the lead Heed camo down tho
fitretch easily, as Alcroy eased up Into n
nafo second berth nnd It was a surprlfco
when tho tlmu was announced as 1:10V1.
That Is a quarter of a second moro than
tho track record for tho go and Heed could
easily have ciit It at least half a second
moro had ho kept It up In tho last 150
yards.
Ily all odds tho prettiest riding of tho
dny was dono by Snell on Mont (ieut In
tho fourth rnco, a mllo event. Tho lad
was on n 3 to 1 shot against such horses,
as Ilobert llonnor, played favorlto at 3 to
C, I'nchant nnd Highland l'rlnco. Thero
wns not much Mont Rent talk going on.
Snell feared lion tier, but ho knew tho
fnvorlto's ono fault, a slow stnrt. There
fore, he did Just tho right thing to win
tho raco with an Inferior horse. From tho
flag Itself ho dug In with whip and spur
nnd by tho first eighth was leading them
nil a good distance. Bonner was fourth
nnd coming slow. Snoll then maintained
this four lengths lead r.U through tho first
half. Then It was that Ilonncr made his
Jump, which Snell know ho would do, So
ho put the whip to tho Rent ngaln, and
down tho back stretch It was fierce., all tho
rear horsos gaining slowly on tho Ocnt.
At tho last eighth polo Snell finally got his
horso waked up to tho business at hand
and ho pulled away ngaln and enmo down
an easy winner In tho good tlmo of 1:I31J.
Enchant was second nnd Bonner third.
Tho first raco at four and one-half fur
longs proved n walknway for Jim Hicks, at
fi to 1, and there tho talent wns hit hard.
Jno Foster, tho 3 to 5 fnvorlte, did mako
second place, but ho never had a chnnco to
lic.nl Hicks, whom llttlo Doty kept well
to tho foro nil tho way around from n
good stnrt. Druggist was third. Seven
horses ran.
Flvo horses showed for tho third race,
another threc-fourths-mllo event, with tho
popular llttlo stallion, Horno, a strong
Helling favorite at I to C. Dctty II., at 2 to
1. and Klemerlto, nt .1 to 1, wcro nlso well
liked. Tho lnfctor horse, under Snell's

CINCINNATI, Sept. 21.-Thcrc was an
unusual scene at tho closing of tho fourth
day of tho Oakley Park grand circuit meet
ing. P.ilm Loar, Janice and Ozanam had
each two heats In tho Grand Hotel purse of
J3.WO for 2:11 trotters nnd In the fast grow
ing darkness Ed Honyon, driver of Ozanam,
followed by a crowd of about 2W, wont to
the Judges' stund to demund tho enforce
ment of the rule against racing after tho
daylight was too far gone for any ono to
be able to distinguish tho color and gait
of tho horses. The Judges Insisted on de
ciding tho rnco and Pnlm Ioaf and .lanlco
wcro sent nvay for tho final Journey. It
was to dark that no color of horse or
driver's cap could bo distinguished on tho
back stretch nnd far turn. The heat was
won by Palm leaf. Tho Judges declared
third money to go to tho ussoclatlon.
Honyon entered a protest amid tho cheers
of tho crowd nhd the money Is now tied up

NOT DUE TO ANY ONE THING
Whj Omiht Sid Not Land First Flic
Easily ExpUtmd.
COMBINATION OF FAULTS IS TO BLAME
W lie 11 It Wasn't One the Other Weak
lies 1 Mliorrcit I'll nnd Just at
the Time to Turn tha
Scale of Victory.
To nnnlyzo tho faults In style, form nnd
general play that landed the Omnha baso
ball club In fifth placo nt the close of tho
season Is dllllcult, for to no one defect can
tho result bo ascribed. Tbo team has ex
hibited no particular constant mlstnku In
playing ball to which Its accretions of de
feats might be duo. Neither errors of play,
errors of Judgment, Inefficient pitching or.
Inability to hit was largely rcsponslblo In
a general way for tho standing of Hourko's
men.
Kach of tho four wns concerned, nnd
nbout equally. Point blank errors lust the
Inst game, tho ono that kept Omnha out of
fourth place. A few others went through
the samo cause. Tho had features which
are present In tho work of nil base bait
nines seemed, In tho caso of tho locals, to
lit In unfortunately In Just tho wrong plnces.
They could never como In n bunch In ono
game, causing a real hard lose, but seemed
to bo scattered along by sections Just heavy
enough to loso game after game.
For Instance, take tho sixty-three defeats
which Omaha has suffered, nnd this Is their
history: When tho pitching wns good
enough to win any ordinary game, tho boys
wcro unablo to mako even hits enough to
glvo tho small number of tallies necessary
to top off tho score of tho visitors. When
tho batting was terrific, bringing many
runs, tho pitching would bo so bad thnt tho
opponents could bat oven harder, nnd win
In n gamo of high scores. When both pitch
ing and batting wero top notch, fielding
would fall down, and sufficient costly errors
would bo mndo to glvo tho other nlno nn
unearned victory. Thus tho trouble was
scattered over a considerable area. It Is
n peculiar fact thnt In only ono gamo of tho
entire slxty-thrco which wcro lost wcro all
threo agencies, batting, pitching nnd lidding
concerned In tho result. Ono or tho other
did It all.
Hut now that It Is nil over nnd tho pen
nant has been lost nnd won, It Is Inter
esting to learn something of tho personal
Uvea of tho men who havo struggled so
valiantly on tho diamond this year to bring
their team out toward tho top. As ball
players they aro all well known. Kvory
spectator of tho gamo here feels ns If ho
knew personally euch man In tho club, and
was well acquainted with tho character
istics of overy one. This senso of Intlmncy
cannot but compel an Interest In their lives
off tho diamond, where they nro from, what
they do during the winter, how old they
really aro, nnd numerous other things.
To begin with. Captain Stewart, whoso
namo Is Asa and not Ace. Thero Is no
man on tho team concerning whom a moro
general error In public opinion exists In
rcgnrd to ono particular, his ngo. To hear
pcoplo talk nbout Stewart ns comparod with
most of tho others, one would think ho wns
grny-hcaded nnd Bhrlvelcd. Hut ho Is only
20 years old, and ho has not played ball so
very long, after all. Ho Is from Tcrre
Haute, Ind., whero ho has gone now. Soma
of tho tlmo ho 13 engaged In tho saloon
business there. That Is what ho did last
winter. During tho balnnco of tho season
ho Is busy holding down tho tltlo "King of
Tcrro Haute," an appellation which has
clung to him for years. Asa Is unmarried.
Old Dick Huckley Is tho patriarch of tho
flock. Forty-four Is his flguro, and It Is
very probnblo that ho has played his last
season. Dick has a pool hall In Chicago
ond makes good money during tho winter.
In the summer ho lots his brother attend
tho business, whllo ho plays ball. Ho left
for Chicago ton days ago.
niiot.nr i,.rrv Coons of Newcastle, Ind.
Well digger. Thero is nnothcr surprlso.
n tvmiiii not e.tnect a ball player from
such nn occupation, especially a twlrlcr.
Coons Is a young man, being Just a llttlo
past his quarter century. Ho has gono
back to tho mines.
1,'r.mk Genius Is nnothcr man who is
much older than Stewart, being closo to
3C. Genlns 1b a ball player by profession,
and that only. Ho rests during tho win
tor at his homo In St. Louis with his wifo
nnd family.
"I'mliro" Allowny. tho merriest man on
tho team, is from Petersburg, Ky. Thoro
ho Is nc export In tho big distillery, and
hn ims cono back to work till ha Is called
i.iniin nixt Aii-11 to work tho kinks out of
his good right arm. Podgo Is a young ono.
.iimmv Toman Is not so aged. on each
day since tho season ended ho hns had a
different plan for passing tho winter. His
lntest is to go somewhere and play ball,
niihnr nut nt Ocdcn or with a shift team
that Goading Is organizing. In Philadelphia

Huckley, Alloway nnd Letcher.
A fact not generally known Is that most
of them savo tholr money, some of them all
of It. Tho truth concerning tho Omaha
team In this regard Is that there wcro only
two men who did not save. Davo Calhoun
was the spender of tho bunch. Herman
followed him closely. Tho rest nil havo
money now from their season's work.
Genlns took $800 homo with him Thursdny.
Gondlng has that amount In tho bank hero.
AH tho rest saved moro or less, largely
more. Haso bnV players of the class thnt
mado up the Omaha team nru not profligates.
Thoso of them who now go to work at
onco nnd mnko a living or n llttlo moro
during the winter will bo better off nt tho
end of tho year's work than many n man In
business. And this Is only a minor league.
Manager Hourko says that none of his
players has signed yot, nor will any for
some time, till It Is seen how everything
connected with leagues and clubs Is coining
out. Ho says that players do not sign
this soon anywhere, despite what the
pnpors say. Gondlng vouches for tho Htato
mont. Rourko announces, however, that ho
Is willing to tnke any or nil of tho men ho
has had during this season.
Tho manngcr builds great hopes on tho
new agreement between all tho minor
leagues of tho country. Ho says that this
will not only protect minor lenguo clubs
against other nnd minor leagues against
each other, but will also Bhleld tho smnller
