GARDEN" Oct. 5. Rain or shine, there will be 300,000 or more seekers after excitement clustered about the 29.7 miles of course, over which seventeen powerful automobiles wtl speed for the Vanderbilt Cup tomorrow morning.

The indications are for clear weather, with showers tonight to lay the dust and spread the oil with which the course has been sprinkled, and the track.will. be in fair condition. In any event, the race will not be postponed.

The fabric may he of the finest, trimmings the best the market affords, and yet the general effect of the finished garment may not always be pleasing. Every man has his own idea as to how his clothes should look and feel. It is a part of the Hilton plan to learn the individual taste of each customer and then apply to those requirements the Hilton skill.

Special to The Inquirer. WILLIAMSPORT, Oct. 3. On the eve of the State-Indian football game Wiiliamsport is teeming with enthu-iiasm over the first big contest of the sea- -son in this -city.

Both teams will arrive tomorrow morning, but not with the confidence of carrying off the victory "hands down." Neither eide is boasting of its prospects of winning the coontest and the new rules seem to have them baffled. The Indians' strength will be found in their speed and trick plays, while State will keep nearer to the real football without its uncertainty. Vorhis, the big State freshman, is feared for his wonderful accurateness and ability a drop kicker. Coach Golden, of State, is well pleased with the team's condition, and feels confident that they wll give a good account of themselves. Coach Fennell fears the new rules will make any statement a matter of conjecture.

Prominent football men from every section of the country are arriving today for the game and for a chance to see the new regime put into practice. The State juniors came in this, afternoon and are holding their annual banquet at the Park Hotel tonight. Big bands of rooters from State, Bucknell and from Carlisle will arrive in the morning. State will be accompanied by a band of sixty pieces, and enthusiasm will run high. Mint Arade LIGHT PRACTICE FOR NEW YORK PHILADELPHIA NEWARK OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS -v for tonight have been engaged.

Thoti sands of enthusiasts -will sit np in coun try bar rooms, drinking and singing. The race will be started In comparative dark ness and aecidentsare feared in the rush of automobiles and other vehicles on the roads leading to the course during the night. I The protest of the Automobile Club of France again6t the Thomas car was dismissed today by William K. Vanderbilt, after Mr. Thomas had submitted ver bal testimony and affidavits to show that no part of the car was made in France.

Mr. Vanderbilt immediately cabled his de cision to the Automobile Club of France and the only complication in the way of the race was thus brushed aside. Lots of Money AVagered Betting in the big hotels in New York and at the various headquarters around the conrse was brisk today. Thousands of dollars were wagered at varying odds. The complications in the betting are so numerous that it is possible by skillful figuring to hedge in all calculations.

In spite of threatening rain clouds motorists bet.an to pour into Garden City this mornine bv hundreds, enthusiastica'ly ready for the third running of the Vander bilt Cup race. Many a one shook his head while the rain was falling and the thought crept into his mind of what daneerous element a wet course would Introduce into the coming struggle of the auto eenerals. When the sun came out a little after 12 o'clock a sigh of relief came from a thou sand throats. Even the weighing-in of ficials, who were certainly having other troubles than those caused by Jupiter Flnvius, smiled a long, broad smile. Hotel and tonrflIiii hoiie aeeommoda Hons were taxed bTOd all hope.

forty tents pitched the lawn and dln- lnr tables set In the ball room, tne t.ir den City Hotel will not be able to give food and shelter to more than a third oi n-hn Humor at its doors. The same congested conditions are reported on all sides of the course, and the one who 6tops Kurt about rates is lost. To the au- tomohile enthusiast the show of cars si ready on hand is a lesson In itself. Nineteen hundred and seven models are to be seen everywhere, realizing what a grand opportunity the race anoras to exhibit their product of next year. Around the camps of the different contost- nnt nil is hustle and bustle, huppucs and men are being sent out to the differ ent repairs to see every detail attended to.

The onlv thine left in the morning will he for the racing machines and drivers to report at the start on the jencno turn- pike, near iw llJ Whitney Didn't The match race between cars driven" by K. Vanderbilt, 'and Harry Payne Whitney, which had been planned to be run over the course today, was not held. Mr Vanderbilt was. compelled to remain In the city during the only hours in which racing is possible. Weighing in.

always a most interesting procedure, began stiorriy alter i -v this morning at Bray's scales, near the railroad station at Garden City. The for cign contestants were on hand early, giving the scene a most cosmopolitan aspect. There was some confusion at the beginning of the balancing as to whether the tire carriers which have come with the detachable rims should be Included In the weight of the car and whether tool boxes should be left on competing cars No. 1 and 5. It was finally decided that the tire -carriers could be removed.

When fastened on in a way that would cause much trouble in getting them off an allowance of 12H pounds would be made. Cars accepting this allowance, however, must remove the irons if the racers set the actual weight without them, provided such a demand be made by any of the other contestants. It was also given out that while tool boxes must be weighed, tool bags need not be on board when the cars are sent on the scales. About noontime a smart shower came down on the 6cene of action, wetting scales and cars. During this period of dampness each car was given an allowance of two pounds for the water which had fallen on it.

Weighing in of the Cars Up to 12 o'clock eleven out of jhe seventeen machines expected to start in tomorrow's great event had passed the heavyweight limit and were ready to be tr'ed out before the technical committee. The first of the cars to go on the scales was the Mercedes of Robert Graves, which will be driven in the race by Camille Je-natsy. The machine tipped the balance at 2260 pounds on the nitlal trial. Jenatzy was much excited before getting down to the limit, In which operation It was necessary to remove one of the three brakes carried by the German car. When the machine finally passed the good-natured Belgian looked relieved.

George Heath and the Panhard was the second combination coming before the weighing-in officials, and after a little bit of figuring the winner of the first race for the Vanderbilt cup passed his car through with one pound to spare. Wagner and the likely-looking Darracq of lOO-horse power finally tipped the scales nt 22fK) slightly heavier than the Darracq, winner of last -year's cup race. Lancia's Fiat tirdJed the scales the first time at 2200 pounds, four pounds within the limit. The two Itala cars driven by Cagno and Fabry also weighed in successfully before the noon hour. The remaining members of the Italian team.

Dr. Aldo Weilschott and Felix Nazzaro, who are to drive Fiats, were on hand. Dr. Weilschott's car was a few pounds over weight at first, but was later gotten down to the required limit. The entire Italian team, including the three Fiat cars and the two Italas, will compete with absolutely no paint on any part.

This leaves the metals of beautiful silver gray showing up the creation in most effective manner. Tracer Will Use Detachables Joe Tracy and the Locomobile which won the elimination race appeared at the weighing-in station at 11 o'clock. The car on which Americans are pinning their hopes never looked more fit for a grand struggle. Before going on the scales Designer A. Li.

Riker told your correspondent that contrary to statements recently made in different publications, the Locomobile would use detachable rims in to morrow's race. These are of the same type turned out by Callers for the Thomas cars, and were obtained through the offer of E. R. Thomas, who. wants America to make the best, possible showing.

The rims will be carried on the rear wheels only. The Frayer-Miller, the only air-cooled car in the race, which Frank Lawwell is to drive tomorrow, had no difficulty in getting within the 2204 pound; limit, and the Haynes stock car model was equally as fortunate. Regarding the driver of the iatter creation, John' Haynes said this morning that it was still undecided who would pilot it in tomorrow's event. When Duray brought the Dietrich on. the scales he was as full of fun as ever, and eacb operation neceg- SUI 1327-1329 Chestnut St.

Last Morning Praeilce The early morning practice saw half a of the cup ars goover thecourse for one round each.

These included Duray aud the De Dietrich, George Heath -and the Panhard, Frank Lawwell and the Frayer-Miller, Walter Christie and the front drive car of his own invention, Louis Wayne and the Darracq and F. Shepard's Hotchkiss. Herbert Lyttle also sent the Pope-Toledo over the course for one round. What would otherwise have been a-rather dull morning was enlivened by a -match race between a 40-horse power Bayard-Clement, driven by Albert Clement, and an 18-horse power Mercedes piloted by Jenatzy. The conditions were that Clement would allow Janetzy ten minutes for 29.7 miles course.

Clement finished twenty minutes ahead of the Belgian. An interested visitor at his morning's practice was Mrs. F.J. Linz. a woman driver of note from San Francisco.

Mrs. Llns came all the way from the West with the Intention-of going over the course with Montague Itoberts in one of the 110-hore power Thomas cars. The machine was not In shape to go out, however, much tor the disappointment of the young woman. Mrs. Linz was one of the first motr-Tlsts to offer a car during the Sau Francisco earthquake disaster, when the services of the motor-driven vehicles played each a prominent part.

The matter of locating tire and repair stations, which yesterday brought a threat from manv contestants to the effect that they would withdraw altogether if obliged to locate controls 150 feet from, the road, was settled amicably after a conference with the board of supervisors. The controls will consequently in general remain where they were originally located, S-3 ly at the end position. Yesterday the announcement from the physical directors of the coIle.ee set all the plans of the coaches at naught and Scarlett was immediately shiftej back to his old place, with Sheble in at quarter-back. Last night Gribbel. who has been filling in at right guard during the absence of Zlegler.

developed a badly sprained ankle that will keep him out of the game today. Worst of all Is the case of Hollenback. one of the few veterans on the team. In Wednesday's game against Gettysburg Hollenback was way off In his passing from centre, and his poor work was the direct cause of Gettysburg tying the score by a safety. It was learned after the game that "Big Bill" had a fine young loil on his wrist, and he has no chance -at all of getting rid of it In time to face the Southern gentlemen today.

In his place Bick- lam will officiate, and as he is a new man at the game, there is no telling what his playing may turn out to be. Eddie Bennis. nt lull." has been a little behind in his game because of a bad leg. and this completes the tale of woe of the Quakers. With such a list of meiiioff the team for the above reasons Pennsylvania has pood reason to fear the North Carolina team in today's game, for the Southerners are in line fettle and iire capable 'of putting up a strong game under the new rules.

They made a fine showing against Penn lest year, only losing the game. li-O, and as they know of the predicament Pennsylvania is in, and that a team like Gettysburg can tie their opponents, they are worked up to a high pitch, believing that they can win the game by playing their hardest. There wis a host of coaches on hand yesterday afternoon to aid the team by their Frank Piekarski, better known as "Pic," was on hand to give the guards pointers on how to play the real game of football, unci McClosky. the old centre, was aiding the coaches with the linemen. All of the regular coaches were out and the team was well drilled in their new plays and in signals.

No line-up was held, as no chances could be taken of crippling any of the men on the eve of the Same. There will be a musical contest as well as contest for football honors loday on Franklin Field. The music furnished at the came with Lehigh by the Second Regiment Band was so much appreciated by the large crowd there that it has been about decided to have music at every Saturday's game hereafter. The treasurer, Clifford Pemberton. is arranging for different bands on succeeding Saturdays.

Bo that when the great game of the season with Michigan comes on it will be to slef the very best -band for music suitable to such an occasion. The team will line up for the game as follows: Levene, left end: Roberts, left tackle; Stein, left guard; B'ckham, centre; right guard; Folwell. right tackle; Scarlett, right end; Sheble. quarter-back Dyer, left halfback; Walker, right half-back; Bennis. fullback.

The Princeton coaches are showing their wisdom in going elow. There wa no scrimmage todav at all and fast signal drill, together with some polishing in offensive and defensive line plavlng. constituted the bulk of the work. Though the cool weather that has come this fall might allow of harder work than has so far been permitted, the coaches have not forgotten last year's disaster that tame, more than anvthlng from overwork in warm weather, and that it is their policy to hold the squad rather in cheek is becoming more and more evident. The whole cry now is for speed and more speed, and judging by present appearances, there will be few teams superior to the Tigers ou that- point.

Tomorrow's game with Washington and Jefferson is expected to be a very fast one. and; as the visitors are likelv to have a good eleven, the contest ought to indicate with greater certainty than hitherto lust what is the progress of the team. Navy Opens With Dickinson ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 5 The Navy football team will open the season here tomorrow with the eleven of Dickinson College, with whom they have plaved verv close contests for the last three vears. Several of he Navy's players will be kept out of the line up by injuries, but the team is a fairlv strong and has made good progress in its two weeks of practice.

This afternoon, however, there was a (strenuous artillery drill, and as the players were not excused, they were not in the field until after 5 clock. Only signal practice was held ami few plays based on the Pew rules Both Shafroth and Chambers, the regular guards, have injuries, though the latter may i wiI1 be shifted around considerably, and as many men as possible given a chance.

Herbert M. Tilden. of the University of Pennsylvania, was the hero of the day's play in tie tOTMney and caused a flutter of excitement among the fashionable assemblage present. Mr. Tilden and H.

Bartol Register were playing in the semi-final round of the doubles against Messrs. Partridge and of Yale. Each had won a set and the match was at the' critical point of two games all in the deciding set. when Mr. Tilden fainted.

At the Tri-State League meeting In this city today the York club was formally awarded the championship for the season of 1906. President Charles K. Carpenter rendered his report of the affairs of the league, aud everything was found to be on a sound basis. The Lancaster club was ordered to pay to the Johnstown club a guarantee which was held up at I-aneaster on September 5. when Lancaster forfeited a game to the former club.

The question of protection received a lengthy discussion, but nothing was done in the matter. Several of the representatives are opposed to protected base ball, and unless the Tri-State secures the conditions it asks for. it is likely that the league will remain independent. Several cities made applications for franchises in the league for next season, but the applications were laid over until a subsequent meeting. Is This the Angel? PITTSBURG.

Oct. 5 The announcement was made here this evening that George Dovey. of St. Louis, is the one financially interested In the purchase of the Boston Base Ball Club, of the National League, and that some Pittsburg or Louisville persons of money, who were drummed up bv Barney Dreyfus, have contributed a good part of the balance.

It is not a question as to whether State has the material, because never in lt history has State litcn so fortunate as to have so many men at her command who have been in the gam? before coming here.

Kvery man who has applied for a position on the 'Varsity has iad abundance of good gridiron work and experience that makes him a fit' applicant. Dun, Wray. Gotwalt, Kunkle, Campbell. Henry and Partridge are a bunch of last year's men who made themselves felt in every game played, and who will do better In the coming contests. Probably the best new man on the 'Varsity team this year Vorhis.

who hails from te High School of Commerce, in New Y'ork city, where he was the selection last fall as All-Scbolastic quarter-back. He is nervy, accurate and remarkably fast. He is the best man seen on Beaver Field for years, and thinks nothing of sending the oval sailing over the crossbars from the 40 and 25-yard lines. The drop-kickiug department of State's team will, therefore, be the strongest for many years. Another new man Is Hershman.

who also comes from New Y'ork city, and a classmate of Vorhis. He was the choice for All-Scholastic fullback there last season. He weighs 185 pounds and makes things fly on the field. He is a punter of more than ordinary ability, which will prove a strong asset In securing this pair of New York athletes, as Cornell. Dartmouth, Y'ale and Pcnn 'were on their trail all summer.

Both Vorhis aud Hershman are excellent base ball players. In addition to football prowess Vorhis in trackwork can negotiate the ltM yards in 10 1-5 seconds and the quarter-mile in .51 flat. Another pair of gridiron athletes hailing from the same prep school are Half-backs McCleary and Coulson. They are from the California Normal and both these men are lightning fast on their feet, besides possessing the necessary weight, each tipping the beam at the ISO mark. They will develop into half-backs of which, State can be proud.

The largest candidate on the 'Varsity squad is "Babe" Wood, from the State of California, who stands 6 feet 3 inches In his stocking feet and weighs pounds. His position is' at' right guard. Maxwell, who comes from "the West Chester High. School, is quick and speedy and 'as strong as a young panther. He weighs 170 pounds and shows considerable executive ability at either advancing the oval or blocking and opposing the play.

Haverford Plays Medico-Chi HAVEUFORD COllLEGE. Oct. 5 Special). The 'Varsity at Havertord was put through another stiff practice- in preparation for the game tomorrow with Medico-Chi. The coaches did not think the men hai had enough hard work lately so that they broke the usual custom of giving the men a rest on Ihe day before a game aud gave them a hard scrimmage with the scrub.

The 'Varsity did not succeed in scoring. Haverford expects a fairlv hard game tomorrow with Medico-Chi College. They will start out with the 'Varsity team and as the game progresses they will send in substitutes to every position. Coach Thorn expects to have an entirely different team in at the end of the game from what: it was at the beginning. Haverford is going into the game with only a few plays and expects to- win on hard, straight football of the old style.

HUSKY REDMEN 3. Special to The Inquirer. CARLISLE. Oct. 5.

This afternoon's prac tice for the Carlisle Indians was very light, ow lug to the big game to be played with State College at Wiiliamsport tomorrow. Head In dian Coach Bemus Pierce would not risk his dusky warriors in scrimmage work, but gave them plenty cf exercise at runnlnR down punts. An unique diversion of the afternoon was the introduction on 'the field of some three score members of the Walter Damrosch orchestra, who were the Invited guests of the redskins. Their polyglot comments on the orugh snd tumble work of the aboriginal athletes were interesting. Damrosch's orchestra men are the only outsiders who have seen the Indians practice this year.

The redskins are in prime physical condition and are confident of trlnrming the much-coached State eleven tomorrow. This afternoon Archie Libbey Frank Mount Pleasant. Wilson Charles rivaled each other at drop kicking, all three working nicely from the forty yard line. Another day has passed without Injury to a single redskin and trainers and coaches are beginning to touch wood. The Indians leave at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning for Wiiliamsport.

Hard Work for Swarthmore SWARTHMORB. Oct. 5 (Special). In spite of the fact that Swarthmore plays Villa Nova tomorrow there was no let-up in the hard work necessary to whip the men in shape. After a long signal practice of three-quarters of an hocr the line was switched so as to bring the juoM promising candidates in a try-out agaiust each other.

The way the men charged and broke up the play showed much to be desired. They were unable to atop the plays in less than five yards at a try, and it certainly is a deplorable condition when such a thing happens. McDonough. the star full-back, was out In togs and his appearance put more heart in tne team. He was unable to get Into the scrimmage." as he has just recovered from a severe cold.

The line-up tomorrow will show the team pretty well settled except for a few namely, right end and right guard. The line-up: Swarthmore. Positions. Villa Nova.

The car was reputed to be much overweight when in Mr. Vander-bilt's hands. Surprise was thus caused this morning when, with magneto off, the car tipped the scales at 2202 pounds. This is the only foreign car in the cup race which will not use detachable rims. The Hotchkiss car.
