owned- by Alex- P. Humphrey, well known Louisville attorney and turfman, while far back was Any Port, which ran coupled with the winner as the Weir-McCarge entry. Only four horses started and none of them could be classed better than high grade selling platers. Disparity, the odds -on favorite at 3 to 4, was a bad last. The race was worth $1,620 to thel -winner, $500 to the second and $250 to the third horse.

Nannie McDee and Lady Ella were withdrawn as their re-pectlve owners realized they had no chance. The field went to the post at 3:29 o'clock, and they were at the barrier less than a minute when Starter Harry Morrissey got them away to a perfect start. Disparity was the first to show-colors and she opened a good gap in ths first mile. It was plain to be seen that the Madden filly was running too fast as she traveled the first mile in seemed to be even though Jockey, Smyth was doing his best to hold her In check. Disparity Wcal.ens.

After going a mile and an eighth she began to weaken rapidly and then she Quit altogether. At this juncture Sir Catesby went to the front and appeared to be a certain winner, but on the back stretch "Ringling caught him and an instant later passed him. She easily held him safe In the stretch, although Jockey Vandusen kept the Humphrey horse in close quarters and would not let him get through. After the finish a large crowd collected around the judges' stand and yelled, "Foul; give it to Sir Catesby," and other statements to the effect that the winner should be disqualified, but the stewards did not see fit to change the decision. Jockey Dishmon, who rode Sir Catesby.

did not even go into the stand to claim foul. The meeting wound up in the proverbial blaze of glory, with an attractive seven-race programme. Despite the adverse track conditions a large crowd was out and the weather was ideal for outdoor sport. The form players were away oft, as only two choices scored. The Gander and Bermudian, but both were at better than even money.

Grainger was highly pleased with the outcome of the meeting at the Downs and more than delighted with the Immense crowd which witnessed the closing day's card, marked by the running 'of the St. Leger Handicap. He said that he thought It was all-around the greatest fall meeting ever by the New Louisville Jockey- Club, when the fact is considered that bad weather prevailed almost entirely through the tMirht days of the meeting. The crowds that attended the sports under adverse weather conditions were representative ones.

CRIPPLED CRIMSON WINS NEW HAVEN, Oct. 17. Yale lowered Notre Dame's colors with unexpected ease, today, 2S to 0, although the visiting eleven was slightly heavier, well balanced and fast. Its forward passing was brilliant and effective, but this play was discarded at critical moments favor of old-fashioned line plunging, which the Blue forwards smothered. Errors In judgment in electing to rush the ball on the last down Instead of punting proved fatal, for Yale held and took quick advantage.

Yale mixed plays well, working forward, double and triple passes with fair success. One of the prettiest plays was a forward pass from" Legore to Higgin-botham for twenty yards and a touchdown. Knowles made a spectacular 32-yard run for a touchdown. In the first period Notre Dame outplayed 'Yale, getting five first downs to none for the Blue. In the second period, after Yale had scored a touchdown, Notre Dame, by spectacular forward passing and a long run by Elchanlaub carried the ball to Yale's three-yard line when the period ended.

In the last period, with Yale playing many substitutes, Notre Dame's passing placed the ball on Yale's five-yard line. A penalty of fifteen yards for substituting the same men twice lost the visitors another chance to score. Yale made thirteen first while Notre pame made eleven. The visitors executed jIx forward passes successfully, nine were uncompleted. Three of Yale's forward passes were successful and two were broken up.

17. Princeton defeated Lafayette here to-day 16 to 0. The Tigers forced the play the- greater part of the time, but her backs were unable to get away because of the poor work of her linemen. On the defensive, Princeton's forwards put up a stubborn resistance. Thomas was the strong point In Lafayette's line, and he was ably supported by Luhr and Max-field.

Law opened the scoring with a drop kick from the 35-yard line in the second period, and BIgler followed with a touchdown after Intercepting a forward pass and running thirty yards. The final score came as the result of a forward pass from Law to Brown, which covered twenty-two yards, and placed the ball on the 1-yard line, from where Ames carried it over. Law kicked goal.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM SHOWN EXINGTON, Oct. 17 (Spe- I cial.) The Kentucky University I Wildcats won a fast and exciting game from the football team of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi this afternoon by a score of 19 to 13. Capt. Jimmie Park breaking a tie of 13 to 13 in the fourth period by a splendid place kick over the goal. The kick was made from the 34-yard line, and the tense excitement which thrilled the spectators at this critical point broke into the wildest scene of enthusiasm from the Kentuckians when the ball sailed squarely between the posts, putting the Wildcats for the first time in the load, and Anally insuring their' victory.

Five minutes later Park kicked -another over the goal, making the score 19 to 13. The Wildcats fairly earned their victory by their game uphill fight, Mississippi having run away from them at the start, piling up a score of 13 in the first and second periods before the Kentuckians made a point. The gatae had hardly started when Fullback Jackson made a touchdown for Mississippi and again in the second period Mississippi scored after a magnificent 40-yard run by McArthur. Patten kicked goal, setting the Southerners' record at 13. points.

But there it stuck, the Mtssissippians seeming to tire with the Wildcats going at them with tooth and toenail. Score First Touchdown. Near the close of the second period Schrader received a forward pass within a foot of the goal line and fell over for a' touchdown but Tuttle missed goal. In the last quarter after long runs had brought the ball to Mississippi's four-yard line, Tuttle scored the second touchdown on a double pass from Hlte, and Tuttle kicked goal. The rest of the Wildcat score" was made from Park's placement kicks.

In the tirst half Coach Brummage, of the Wildcats, complained to the referee that the trousers worn by the Mississippi backfleld were greased to prevent the opposing tackles getting a good hold on them. The referee ordered that the greased clothing should be removed in the interval between halves and this was done though they were worn through the first half. This was considered probably the biggest game the Wildcats will have here 'this season and about 3,500 people came out to see the game.

gave the University of Pennsylvania football team a victory over the Annapolis midshipmen on Franklin Field to-day by the score of 13 to 6. Up to the time Avery placed the ball behind the Xavy's goal line the midshipmen had fought Pennsylvania hard and it looked as though the contest would go to a 6-6 tie. The game abounded in brilliant runs, spectacular forward passing and good punting. Despite the wet field from two days' rain the game was fast and cleanly played, and was the best exhibition of open-field work seen here in some time. What mistakes were made by each side were those of generalship rather than In the handling of the ball.

A forward pass by Blodgett to Overesch netted the Xavy thirty-five j'ards In the first period, when Annapolis made its only score, a' touchdown. In this period Vreeland kicked a goal from placement for Pennsylvania from the 33-yard line. The second period was. the most spectacular of the four, Pennsylvania evening up the score on a drop kick by Matthews after the Quakers had brought the ball within' striking distance on a long forward pass. Avery's touchdown In the last period came near the close of play.

The Xavy had the ball in midfleld when Blodgett hurled It across the field. Avery leaped In the air, caught it and was away for the touchdown aided by good interference. The lineup: Pennsylvania. Pos! tlon. Annapolis.

Stein-feldt retrieved the ball and ran to second base with it, toseing It to Evers Just before reaching the bag. "If McGlmilty's Interference had not given us that clear point to rule on the credit for the play on Merkle would-have gone to Hofman, who deserves it, anyway, for he threw the ball in when most fielders, following custom, would have kept it. and fled to the clubhouse in the belief that the game was over."
