Applegate worked nicely until the sixth and appeared to have all kinds of stuff, but the Antelopes unraveled his mysteries before the Rourkes could ,get a big enough lead to warrant his remaining in the box.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. -Getaway day at tho Grand Circuit co meot here today offered a program rather poor by contrast with those which preceded It. Tho 2:06 trot, the new .classification, failed to develop the speed looked for. None of the limited field offered the op position necessary to force Ross B, heavy favorite, and easy winner, to his best efforts. The 2:13 pace was a race between Auto Sombro, winner of the first two heats, and Herman Wondgar, the favorite, tho latter annexing the three subsequent ones. The 2:16 trot belonged to Lord Dewey from the first turn of the wheels, Mo Coy's good bay horse never being threat ened In any of the three heatB. In the final heat tho Dewey Horse graduated himself into the IMS class of 2:10 trotters, etepplng the mile In that figure flat. Directly after tho raco the horses began moving for the Kalamazoo meot next year. Much sickness Is prevalent about the stables, many being listed by veteri narians as a sort of typhoid distemper.

Superior Itiiciiuet Worlc. His generalship was equal to that which It was prophesied would be shown by tho St, Paul player, and his racquet bo handled In a manner fur superior. Opposed to Griffin's cross court shots and side line smashes, Armstrong pitted drives to the base llnu. On these he hod been returned winner over Walter Hayos and Harry Walduer und depended on them to win points in the ciuclal battle.

The International league Is not prospering this season. With the exception of Newark and one or two other olubs little or no money has been made.
