Umpire Troy Rain. At Albany Bala STATE LEAGUE RACE Miners Seem to Have a Cinch on First Place Says the Troy Eecord. FIGHT FOB SECOND PLACE The following review of the season in the New York State league is taken from the Troy Record: A month, more or less, remains of (the State league season, and the teams ans rushing down the home stretch toward the flay that stands waiting to y4nn 1 L. 1 V. 4X A reach it.

To say that this team will be any other than Scranton would be. a wild prediction, and one the verifying of which is entirely unexpected at the present time. The Miners are too far in the lead to be overtaken unless the god of good luck should desert them entirely and cause them to drop some thing like over two thirds of the games yet to be played. With a lead of nearly one hundred and forty points over the Jags, who are the next in the line, they come pretty close to having a cinch on the pennant. So confident are the fans of (the mining town of the final outcome that they are already talking of a post season series with the pennant winner of some other league, probably the Outlaws.

The real interest in the race at the present time centers about the fight for positions being made by Troy, Albany, Syra cuse and Binghamton. The Jags are reasonably certain of a finish in the honor rank, although they may yet be forced from their position immediately behind the leaders, and it is doubtful if they can be consigned to the oblivion which surrounds a second division fin ish. During the past week the four teams spoken, of have shifted about with such lightning rapidity that it has been a hard matter to pick out the under dog at any time, and there is liable to be a change with the result of each day's games. Not more than two of the four can finish in the first division. and it is the sincere hope of the local fans that Troy may be one of the two.

Utica and Wilkes Barre are pretty safe candidates for ithe last two places in the column. The Utes are on the to b'ggan for further orders, and there seems to be almost no hope for the Barons. Some one once wrote or said that the race is to the swift." "Whoever it was must have naa AsnenDacus Miners In mind, for no one will deny that the crowd from the mining town are a speedy bunch, and seem to have cinch on first place in the State league race. The performance of the team during the past week proves this statement, five games out of seven having been won by the Miners, and their lead over the next team in line having been increased by nearly thir ty points. Ash is.

a careful manager, and his policy all through the season has been to let nothing get by him that would benefit his team in any way. The weak points are strengtn ened as soon as they show themselves and this is shown by the release of Pitcher Murray during the past week. Murray is a good pitcher, but has been up against a hard luck game, losing most of his games by small scores. His principal fault was that he almost always had one bad inning when the opposing team would bat out rune enough to win the game. Ash's acu men was also shown in Saturday's game, when as soon as the Utes began to find Hanlfan, Chappie was substituted and held the visitors safe.

Dren non, who was secured by Ash to take Murray's place, made his first appear ance Thursday, and pitched a bang up game against the Utes, holding them down to five hits. BASEBALL NOTES. Scranton will play in Binghamton today and then swing to Syracuse. The Troy Record man thinks that the Miners come very near having a 'lnch" on the pennant. The same writer seems to think thait the Utes will finish in last place.

Albany is the real in and outer of the State league. They were in third place for a time but now that have got to a position in the second division. Indl vidually the team is not too strong. It i not in the same class with the Scrantons. Binghamton tried heavy hitters who could not run and then fast runners who could not hit.

Finally Drury com promised by keeping one of the fast men and one of the heavy hitting slow men and he thinks that will prove the best combination. Rain yesterday prevented the game between Scranton and the Parlor City team at Binghamton. It Is expected that a double header will be played this afternoon. Drenman has not speed enough to face teams like the strong ones In the New York State league. Manager Ash enback thought poorly of his work In his first game and Sunday's poor showing finished him.

It will be noticed that the Scrantons have been very fortunate this season with regard to postponed games. They will not be forced to figure in many double headers. The Troy team has been playing In Improved form of late. Had it got a better start it would have crowded the Jags for second position. As a team the Miners played with magnificent precision.

Every move was clocklike, every throw accurately aimed, every bound carefully measured. every play well thought out. The regularity and unerring precision of every move) was of major league proportions. Nothing escaped any one. It seemed like a beautiful dream to see the bril liant yet methodical stops and accu rate throws.

The hitting was magnificent. It was not merciless or heavy, but timely and well placed. No one seemed in a hurry to do anything. The fielders took time in making stops, picking up the hall and throwing It, yet it was done In plenty of time and with deadly accuracy. With the exception of one error by Krug, the infield work was gorgeous, every man constituting himself an angle of a stone barrier that waa Impassable.

Binghamton Press, PACED MILE IN 1:57. Dan Patch Makes a Wonderful Record Galesburg, III, Track. GALESBURG. 111.. Aug 21.

The feature of the trotting races here to day was the wonderful mile paced by the champion Dan Patch In 1:57 He was driven by his trainer. Hersey, and Charley Dean drove the pace makter, with the wind shield. Another pacemaker brought up on the out side. After a warming up mile in 2:12 he got the word to a slow start and passed the first quarter In SIVi seconds. When the timers hung out the sign for tire half in 1:00 the 10, 000 people in the stand raised mighty shout.

Down the back stretch came the powerful fellow and the three quarter pole was passed in The crowd had swarmed. on the track and it took the entire polio force of Galesburg: to keep them from interfering. Dan came on, however, and with one of his supreme efforts crossed the wire in 1:57, the fastes mile ever paced on a track in tho state of Illinois. Five good rac es were on the pro gramme and with the lightning fast condition of tlw track records wer smashed in nearly every heat. Readville, grand circuit trots postponed, account of rain.
