that win Big Ed Walsh, himself. The
twlrler la proclaiming his return to form
as a triumph of mind over muscle, and
he believes he la a better pitcher now

strength entirely left his right arm and
it wsa only by the atlffest kind of a

, KAIAMAZOO, ilich., Aug. 15. Five
races with an aggregat of forty-on

aix heats, respectively, and were gruel
ling struggles. The 3:16 trot, purse 32,000,
and the 8:10 trot were won In straight
hvata.
Interest centered In ths 2:10 pace. The
field numbered eleven horses, including
Peter Stevens and King Couchnian, which
were figured as tha most dangerous con
tenders. King Couchman won -the first
heat, the second going to Peter Stevens.
Then Carmelia. took a heat. Peter Ste
vens had the class of the bunch and won
the fourth and fifth heata and the race.
The time, 2:0G'4, 2:05Vi, 3:06, and
2:074. was disappointing, faster miles be
ing expected. The track was a bit slow
s a result of Thursday's heavy rain and
a breese down the stretch hindered the
horses in the getaway.
The 2:13 pace was a race between four
teen horses, Frank Patch won th sec

Phillies Penny Wise
and Pound Foolish
in Keeping Players
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 16. A little
matter of 35,000, which the Phillies re
fused to spend, will cost the local club
something Ilk 3100,000 before the reason
closes.
Five thousand dollars would have kept
Seaton and Dolan for that club. In fact,
the shortstop actually did quit over a
matter of 36,000 bonus which he claimed
Manager Dooin had promised him and
which President Baker refused to pay.
The profits of last year's campaign were
In the bank when Baker booted the play.
Either he did not want to spend money
or, underestimating th attraction of the
Federals, thought he did not have to.
Aa a result, the Phillies are down In
the race. " They are considered out of the
pennant chase. But they have not been
more than ten games behind the leading
Giants at any stage of affairs, and It Is
putting a fair value on the pair to say
that they ar worth' at least ten games
In seventy.
Seaton alone might be worth that in
the box. When it Is considered that the
hole at shortstop has been Dooin's chief
trouble all aeason, Dolan's value Is em
phasized. This 35,000 would have augmented the
gate all. tho way, because a club in the
race Invariably outdraws a second divi
sion team, and might very . well have
brought the world's series' thousands
Into the treasury.
The sum of llJ.OOO In added salaries
would have kept all the Phllly Jumpers,
Seaton, Dolan, 'Brennan,- Walsh, Fin
neran and possibly even Knabe, though
the managerial lure is a strong one..
