Not Yet at Track and Not Likely to Join the Field BELMONT APOLOGIZES Horseman Itegreti He Made Derogatory Remark About J.

L. McGinn 1m NEW YORK. Oct. 21. Through the board of stewards of the Jockey Club today August Belmont expressed regret that he made nnjtist and derogatory remarks to J.

L. McGlnnls, owner of the horse Frank Gill. Mr. Belmont had complained to Mr. McGinnis that Frank GUI.

an added starter, interfered with the Belmont horse Fair Plav In the autumn weight for age stake at Belmont Park Saturday. Mr. McGinnis appealed to the stewards, and was today officially exonerated in the following statement made by the secretary of the board: L. McGinnis "Dear Sir: In conformity with your request as stated in your letter to the board of stewards, dated October 15. I am Instructed by the stewards to say that they have carefully investigated the matter referred to and make to yon the following statement: 'The stewards of the day have examined the jockeys Lee and Notter and have reported to the board of stewards that from the testimony given and from their personal observation they have failed to discover any irregularity.

"The board of stewards then obtained from Mr. Belmont his statement of the occurrence. 'A a conclusion the board of stewards have confirmed the report of the stewards of the da" mid exonerated you of any charge. "Further they are requested by Mr. Belmont to express his regret that he in a moment of Irritation made unjust and derogatory remarks to you.

ard to add that Mr. Belmont will personally offer to you his regrets. "Verv truly vours, (Signed) K. STURGIS. Secretary." One journey through this mess was about all any of the drivers could stand, as they emerged literally coated.

Another point where It was alleged too much oil had been used was at the grade crossing near Locust Grove, where a new coating of sand and earth was placed on Monday to bring the road flush with the top of the rail. Robertson, with a Locomobile, made the best time of the morning for a full lap, going around Inside of 22 minutes. Robertson made a dangerously close turn at Jericho while going at great speed and was lucky to get around it without his car turning over. His feat was watched by several of the Locomobile people who are quartered only an eighth of a mile from that point, and it Is probable he will be asked to exercise greater care. There are practically two turns at Jericho, one to the left and the other to the right.

A majority of the drivers have been in the habit of "cutting corners" to save time and as a result a bad hole has been worn in the road. It was on this account that Robertson's Locomobile was placed In danger. Pou-get, with Mr. Whitney's Brazier, has solved the problem at this point by swinging wide around the second turn opposite Powell's Hotel, a move that saves tires and adds to safety In getting around. The soldiers and deputy sheriff who will patrol the course during the time of the race have been ordered to prevent anyone from crossing from one side to the other during the race, and this order, it id said, will be strictly followed, even as regards to referee and other officials at the grand stand.

At 10 o'clock tomorrow night a battery of fifty calcium lights will be placed on top of the grand stand to illuminate the home stretch both ways. The lights will facilitate the parking of cars. The grand stand from about the same time will be policed by a squad of Pinkerton detectives under command of Captain Duhaia. who has had wide experience at the local race tracks. It will be the duty of the Pin-kertocs to keep the ftand clear of pickpockets, who were reported to be active at other races of the same kind.

Th Vanderbilt cup commission expects that Mayor McClellaa will be a spectator at the race, together with his secretary and a party of friends. Seventy automobiles containing members of the Hartford Automobile Club will be parked on the grand stand stretch, where the club has secured a frontage of 259 feet. The Long Islapd Anto Club has also secured a large parkin space for its members and several manufacturers will accommodate users of their cars in private spaces. Spectators going to the race In automobiles are requested by the cup commission to proceed by way of the Bethpage road in order to avoid the road along which the racers will speed. Several intending visitors to the scene of the race have inquired whether or not.

in the event of disagreeable weather, or if rain falls, the contest will be postponed. It can be said that the race will positively take place on Saturday morning regardless of weather or road' condition. Students Slake Xoiay Demonstration at the Last Practice Amid the cheers of one thousand students, Penn's Varsity football team went through the last scrimmage with the scrub on Franklin Field yesterday afternoon in preparation for the Indian game on Saturday. The students assembled in the dormitory triangle at 4.15 o'clock and marched in a body down to the field, where the Varsity were holding their last scrimmage behind closed gates. When the students arrived at the field the gates were thrown open and the crowd marched In and occupied seats in the south stand where they loudly cheered the team during the remaining practice.

The team will leave todav for Winslow Junction where the men will remain until Saturday morning. "Kid" Keinath will not be able to play against the Indians but he will accompany the squad of 22 to the Jersey resort. With the first real football weather of the season the Varsity spent an hour in a very fast and snappy signal drill after which they lined up in a final scrimmacre with the scrub. Most of the Varsity regulars in the backtield were not permitted to take part in the scrimmage work as the coaches want every man to go into the game on Saturday in perfect physical condition and they do not care to run the risk of having any of the backtield laid up with any more injuries at this late date. The scrimmage work yesterday was short and snappy, neither side scoring after fifteen minutes of play, althoujih the Varsity managed to rush the hall to the scrub's 3-yard line, where the scrub recovered the ball on a fumble.

The scrub were given the ball and kicked off to the Varsity, who with the line plunging of So turners and Young and the good end running of Means carried the ball to midtield. Here the scrub secured the ball, but were unable to gain and were forced to kick. The Varsity then started on a march toward the scrubs' goal and succeeded in placing the ball ou the scrubs' 3-yard line only to lose it on a fumble in tlie next play, the scrub falling on the ball. The Varsity were penalized five yards for off-side play and here the scrimmage ended, in order that the Varsitv might run through some more signals with the entire backtield in the line-up. HALF-BACK THORPE SPRAINS HIS ANKLE CARLISLE.

Oct. 21 (Special). During the practice of the Carlisle Indians this evening, the highly valued left half-back, Thorpe, sprained an ankle, and he was hastily withdrawn from the afternoon's work and rushed to the cage where the stretched tendons were treated. Indian Coach Warner don't mean to lose his valuable place kicker if he can help it. Beginning shortly before 4 o'clock, the In-diajis.

as usual, were pushed hard at elementary training. The dav's work closed with a scrimmage that was worth seeing. The lineup was unusually fierce this evening, the wruu team holding the 'Varsitv eleven for downs several times, while the latter were only able to score one touchdown. The regular right halfback Hendricks, who has been out of the game fur a week, will be substituted for against Pennsylvania by Joe Libby, who tonight got away with several end runs very successfull v. The closeness tonight's contest with the scrubs Is undoubtedly due to the fact that so many regulars were unable to euter the scrimmage.

By a fortunate turn. Barrel came from the hospital and did light work this evening ou the gridiron, Winnie was also watched carefully and not put into the seiimmage. It is now expected that both these men will be able to get into Saturday's game Line bucking plays against the second team are an impossibility without the redoubtable full-back Hou-ser. Tricky plays were responsible for nearly all of the gains today. Bets were made here yesterday at odds favoring Pennsylvania in Saturday's game.

MICHIGAN EASES UP Wolverines Practice Forwnrd Pa and Give Scrub Rest ANN ARBOR. Oct. 21 Working the lorwaru pass to the exclusion of almost every other style of play, tne 'arsity eased up to the scrubs iu the weekly open scrimmage this leruoou, and wneu the first half was over had counted tour touchdowns. The second half had to be cut sCort liecause of darkness, and in this half the scrubs were the only slue to score. Freeney kicking two held coals in the shorter round.

Although Captain Schulz went into the brush iu tne second half, the regulars eased up at Ibis time and made no attempt to play the whirlwind style That characterized the "first period. The first touchdown was pulled off in three minutes after the whistle, when a forward pass to Kmbs netted 25 yards and another following it, to Casey, covered 45 yards and a touchdown. And this was the manner in which the 'Varsity counted throughout the scrub contest. Casey, the mighty left tackle, was the re reiver of the majority of tosses, and was likened to a human basket. This heavy lineman looks like a winner at this stunt, and will be used against O.

S. I'. The only startling play that the rooters were allowed to set- was a side pass to left half. Greene ran out to the end position and. with a peculiar fillip, the ball was tossed out to the left, and the little dodger was away for 4.

yards and a touchdown. Allerdiee kicked all of the goals easily and was powerful in punting. Just now he is the most overworked man on the team. W. and J.

Last Practice for Yale WASHINGTON. Oct. 21 Final practice for the Washington and Jefferson eleven in preparation for the Yale game Saturday at New Haven was held this evening. It was a hard practice, but a disappointing one to the coaches. The 'Varsity showed far from brilliant form, and football followers will be satisfied if Yale is held to anything like a respectable score.

Eighteen men will make the trio, besides the coaches and Manager Murphy. Half-back Tibbens has not been in scrimmage this week, owing to a bad arm. Coach Morrow is having trouble in developing a man for the centre position. Today be played Snapper Bach for the 'Varsity in order to give Ingham some pointers in regard to how the defensive centre should conduct himself according to the W. and J.

style. Changes In Haverford's Line HAVERFORD. Oct. 21 (Special). The forward pass was perfected this afternoon In Haverford's scrimmage.

Green and Russell are the best combination at this. Green can pass about 35 yards and Russell is always on the spot to catch the ball. Spaeth was tAed at full-back, with Bieden-bach at centre. The veteran had some difficulty in catching punts, however, and will probably go lock to the line. Sharpless was not In the scrimmage today, so Myers was at quarter-hack.

MEDICO-CHI WINS Sawbones Defeat Pennsylvania lilitary College toy Score to CHESTER. Oct. 21 In one of the best played and most exciting games seen here this season. Medico-Chi administered a defeat to the Pennsylvania Military College eleven today by the score of 6 to 5. The game, which ended in a dispute, both teams leaving the gridiron, was marred by several disagreements.

P. M. C. kicked off. The Medico Chi's open -plays were effectively blocked by P.

M. C. Neither side scored in the first half. In first part of second half a dispute arose as to whether the visitors forced the ball or not. but Medico-Chi kicked for goal.

Then the visitors thought that the tune was up and left the field. The final dispute arose over the question as to whether a certain play of visitors was a safety or not. That ended the game, which was witnessed by largest crowd of season. y. M.

Runs tp Blsr Score on the Drexel Institute Eleven VILLANOVA, Oct. 21 (Special). Villanova Prep defeated Drexel Institute, at Villanova, this "afternoon by the overwhelming score of 52 to Villanova sent in most of the scrubs to start the game, but the visitors were Tery light, and plaved such a ragged game that the score at the end of the first half was 22 to 0. In the second half Coach Condon sent in all of the regulars, and they scored almost at will. Etecarzaga was the star, and distinguished himself with several long runs through a broken field.

He was given the ball four times in the second half, and made four touchdowns. Villanova Prep. Positions. Drexel Institute. Kragle (Quinn).

Oct. 21. The score of 1" to 0. in favor of Princeton, this afternoon In the game with Fordham is misleading. One would infer that it was one-sided and uninteresting, but exactly the oppcslte was the case.

Had Fordham been able to advance the ball six inches farther one time and a yard another time thi score would have been 17 to 12. Had she been successful In her attempt at a goal frcm the field might have been 17 to 16 instead of 17 to 0. On two other occasions the visitors come within an ace of scoring on long end runs, but fieet-footed Tigers overtook them befoie their end was accomplished. The game showed a very decided Improvement on the part of the Tigers. The strength of the line was a source of gratification to all the sympathizers with the Orange and Black, and the team work has also improved.

Coaches have sifted out the men rather closely, and the line-un now appears somewhat like it will be when the Tigers enter the football arena In their final struggle of the season with Yale November 14. with the exception of the quarter-back position. Dillon will fill that. In spite of the announcement that he would start the game todav. it proved a false alarm, and Dawson gen.Taled the team.

The game started with Fordham kicking off. Read brought the ball back 20 yards. A penalty for Fordham. three line play and one around right end followed by another line play, and the score stood 5 to 0. in favor of Princeton.

It looked easv. and everybody was surprised. The visitors had put up a number of fine games this season, and a closer contest was expected. Walter failed to kick the goal. The second touchdown was made five minutes later.

Princeton kicked off with a short kick up in the air. while Tibhott ran forward and caught it. Read tore off 20 yards through the line. A few more yards through centre and the ball was given to Read for the second touchdown. The final score was made after an ouslde kick, cettlng 30 yards, had been made.

A number of substitutes were sent in during the second half, and the visitors although failing to score, had a shade the lettcr of the deal. Twice the Princeton goal was not only threatened, but a score seemed imminent. A series of brilliant end runs and plays through tackle brought the ball on the Tigers' three-yard line. Another plav and the ball was two vards nearer the goal, but the visitors fell shrt by a foot of the necessary distance the third down and the ball went to Princeton to be kicked out of danger. McCaffrey cauirht the punt and brought it back to the Tirers' 25-yard line.

Fordham was tn-aMzed and forced to kick. Princeton returned the pigskin to the centre of the field only to have lr brought back bv Fordham to the tive-vard line. Again the Tigers got tiretber and held like oks. thv.s preventing the visitors from miking the distance. McCaffrey and Siskind.

Basketball Meeting Postponed The meeting scheduled by the Philadelphia Basketball League last night at The Inquirer office was postponed owins to the enforced absence of several of league managers. "Wie next meeting of the league will not be held until Xovmber 4. as President Soheffer is on his vacation, and will not get back In town until that date. It's hardly likely that the league will sanction the taking hi of out-of-town clubs, and the circuit will probably be made up of local teams, with the exception of North Wales. A good many of the clubs favor a six-club circuit, claiming that quality is better than quantity, and that a close and exciting race would result for the pennant if the league would confine its franchises to a half dozen clubs.

The races will be called at one o'clock today, when It is expected that the racing will be gilt edged. In the 2.16 pace there were ten starters to face the wire.

The first heat was won by Princess It. In a great finish, beating Amola at the wire and equaling her record of 2.15V. in the second heat she got off to a poor start, but won the heat from Delia Mac in a magnificent 6purt. The third heat went to Jack Glllman in a race with Amola up the stretch. The alow race had twelve 6tarters anfl the first heat was easy for Auto Glow.

In the next heat Auto Glow acted rather badly and the heat was won by Steel Barns, a gray gelding, driven by Nick Grady. The third heat also went to Grady, who won in easy fashion, with Emily Marion an easy second. The 2.27 pace brought out a large field, and the first two heats were won by Bob Brawley's Walter N. In the third heat Braw-ley led to the long distance, when Jimmy Green made a drive with Arista, and. gettii.

S. J. DVIKV, Lessee. It Will Be Indians' Superior Team That Will Defeat the Red and Blue More Care Has Never Been Taken to Fit Penn Eleven for Game Than Is Now Beina; Done It won't be Perm's fault if the team loses the game Saturday. It will be because the Indians have the better team.

Never has a tram beea more carefully prepared for a contest than is Feun fur the game with the Indians the Indians who made them look foolish last year. Not even when Harvard was on the list has Penn gone to greater pains to have her team keyed right up to the handle than she has to have her footballers in the proper fettle to win from the Ked Men. Mike Murphy has been working overtime to get the cripples into fighting shape. He seems to have succeeded very well with all but Keinath. And even the Kid may be able to start the gfime or go in later should his services be found to be necessary.

Bunny Reagan has been made eligible, and he is well drilled in backtield tactics. Means has been prepared to rill in any hole made vacant back of the line, more particularly Hollenback's. for Means can punt and can run with the ball. Draper has been dragged out for the frame, after declaring he would not play this year. Draper last year was the best tackle in the country.

He will play in his old position on the left of the line, which sends Gaston to the right side, taking Ferrler's place. The coaches have unfolded new plays to the team and have drilled them in secret. The defense lias been especially coached to meet the kind of plays the Indians miah spring- on them. The Indians always have something new to spring on Franklin Field. Everyone, even the coaches, are anxious to st-o what they have up their sleeve this year and bow well Penn can checkmate them.

Their forward pass of last year made a picture that is still visible to. the eyes of Pennsylvanians. Then to make sure that the players will be right to fight the fight of the year, the team is being sent away to bathe in tl pine-laden air of New Jersey, to rest and to rehearse their plays in the peace and quiet of Winslow Junction. It is 1o that abode that Penn has sent her teams in recent years to put on a proper edge for a big and important game. The student body was called" out yesterday to whoop it up some and to arouse ihat spirit that has carried a Hed and Blue team many times to victory, to bring out the fighting calibre of the men.

and to arouse the team to that pitch of enthusiasm which in the past has made it equal to the job fore. Pennsylvania is noted for her ability to rise to the occasion ami win. Reports from Carlisle state the Indian team is badly crippled. Did anyone ever see the Indians on Franklin Field when they lookei or acted like a bunch of cripples? The Middies of Annapolis are in for football strong This year. They have a schedule to play for the balance of the season which would test the nerve of any big college team, and a schedule of games that none would like to attempt.

Interest in football is running high in the Navy and the Navy Department has shown encouragement to the Middies by detailing 'for duty at the academy several former stars of the gridiron. The Middies have played live games to date and have scored easy victories. But starting Saturday the hard part of the list is btgun. Harvard is tackled first and notwithstanding the reputation of the Crimson as a fast scoring team this year the Navy is going into the game determined To win. After Harvard the Midshipmen play Carlisle Indians, and they are followed by Villanova.

the team that made Penu and Princeton go some to win. The next on the list is Penn Stale, another hard team to heat. Then comes Virginia Poly, the Team that gave the Tigers the scare of their lives. After all these games ore played the Army team is met in the grand finale of the football season. Through the solid organization of the Athletic Association a movement has been started at the Medtoo-Ohi College to bring out all the interest there is among the students there in athletics.

The purpose is to enthuse more over athletics than heretofore at Chi and the appeal that has been made to the student body has been met with a most encouraging response. The inspiration for the movement has been found in the fact that the football team this year is looked upon as the most promising at the college in a number of years, and It is the hope to win for the college a more conspicuous place in collegiate athletics. The faculty 13 in hearty accord and its active interest is expected to give a decided impetus to the movement. The start was made at the smoker held in the club house Monday night. The enthusiasm awakened at that meeting has spread among the students and the strongest support ever given to the athletic association is looked for at the college.

While the big game of the year, with Jefferson, on November 21. Is an event that always brings out the spirit of the students, the meeting of Monday night has served to show a keener interest in the football team than probably has ever been evideuet at this time of the year. Professor John V. Shoemaker presided at the business meeting following the smoker and Indicated the interest be felt in the welfare of the Athletic Association. The officers elected by the association, whose Interest will be met with the hearty co-operation of the student body, were: President, Dr.

W. H. Greene; first vice president. Professor Shoemaker; secretary. Dr.

Judson De-land; treasurer. Dr. W. Hersey Thomas. Another vice president is to bo elected.

HARVARD WORKS IN SECRET Crimson Eleven AVorlilnK Hard for the Xavy in CAMBRIDGE. Oct. 21 (Special). Secret practice for the Harvard Varsity this afternoon in the Ktadiurn saw the first team line up against the seconds without Burr, McKay, "Gil" Browne and Smith. Burr has a hard cold.

Browne has trouble with his face. Smith has Injured his ankle and McKay was given a rest. Withington took McKay's place and was a great Improvement. The men were given, a new pet of signals and practiced handling punts against an open Bky as they will have to at Annapolis. In tha scrimmage the Varsity took the ball to the second's 3-yard line by hard line plunging and 6kin tackle plays by "White and Corbett.

where the backs failed to gain and the hall went to the seconds on downs. Gilbert drop-led beck of the line to punt and Withington and Fish broke through, Withington blocking the ball with his face and Fish recovering it for the Varsity touchdown. Withington kicked the goal. After getting the ball on their 35-yard line the seconds carried it down to the Varsity's goal and scored. This was by line plays and the use of the forward pass.

Then the seconds were given the ball on the Varsity's 6-yard line and Burrage went through the left wing of the first team in three rushes for the score. Beaman tied Fish up so badly that Page swept by bim easily for the first score of the seconds. The Varsity line Is weak in defense- and does not open large enough holes for the backs when they near their opponents' goal line Corbett and White seem to weaken when within striking distance. The team leaves Cambridge1 tomorrow evening for Baltimore. Lehighs Squad in Poor Shape SOUTH BETHLEHEM.

Oct. 21 (Special). Lehigh's chances of a good showing against her rival, Dickinson. Saturday begin to lessen as the locals regulars continue to become members of the hospital list. Treat and Bakewell have sprained ankles, w-hile Spiers, Brumbaugh have muscle bruises, Desh water on the knee and Blllbeimer a sprained side.

With these men out of today's practice the substitutes were given a chance and performed well especially Kennedy. Aside from the hard scrimmage, during which the "Varsity scored four times, a field talk was given the men. in which a number of plays was illustrated and methods shown to break up others. Tonight a blackboard talk was given the men in the physical laboratory. Villanova Plays Jefferson VILLANOVA.

Oct. 21 (Special). As today was a little cooler than yesterday the Villanova coaches drove the men to the limit, but as all of the members of the White and Blue squad are now in good physical condition the practice did not harm them in the least. The coaches wish to have the team going right when tha Main Liners meet the Jefferson College team next Saturday, for while they have no fear but what the team will gain a victory, nevertheless they will be on the safe Several times this season the "Medicals" bare ylaved pretty good football. Several experiments are being tried ou the team and some of them will probably receive a regular tryout in Saturday's game.

Four New Coaches for Cornell ITHACA. X. Oct. 21. Four new coaches are aldiag the Cornell football team.

Captain Landy Cook and Jack Lynch, both of last year's ream, arrived today. Eddie Burns. 'UH. and All-American Guard Thompson, of last fall's eleven, were also on the field. The line, which has been a weak point, is showing greater btrenzth.

Closeness of Competition at Chevy Chase Makes Up for Lack of High-Class Play WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Play in the Women's National Golf Championship over the links of the Chevy Chase Club today was the most sensational of the tournament. Not ouly were four of the six Boston representatives retired from the race for the championship, but two of the former champions were defeated. Mrs.

Caleb Fox was the only Fhila-delphlan to win her match. The defeats of Bliss H. Curtis, Miss Griseom. Miss Osgood and Miss Adams, all in one round, was trnough in the way of surprises for one day. The general closeness of the competition, however, made up for a lack of the highest order of golf, the latter being made somewhat difficult by rather unfavorable weather Conditions, there being a strong southeast breeze and the sky was for the greater part of the time overcast.

The largest galleries followed the matches played by the two Misses Curtis. That between Miss II. S. Curtis, national champion in 1800, and Mrs. Caleb F.

Fox started the earlier of the two. The latter got her usual four on the first hole and It won. Inasmuch as Miss Curtis sent her second against the bunker and after a splendid recovery missed a fair chance for a putt. Two splendid shots by each landed them with equal chances on the second green, but Mrs. Fox missed her putt and Miss Curtis won 4-5, squaring the match.

Mrs. Fox again played bad'y, for her. on the third green and it looked as if she was destined for a bar? day. Miss Curtis, after a great drive, sliced her second and overran the green on her third, while Mrs. Fox was on the green In 2.

but it took the latter 3 to get down, and Miss Curtis, by a good putt, halved the hole in 5. Both played the fourth hole well, each making a long putt for a 3. Colonel Bogey Is Beaten Two long drives by Miss Curtis enabled her to reach the fifth green, 510 yards. In 3, whereas Mrs. Fox topped her second into the rugh and got into the ditch with her third.

Miss Curtis winning. 5-7. making her 1 up. Both reached the next green la 3. but Mrs.

Fox ran down a long putt and won 4-5, squaring matters. Both drove brilliantly for the seventh holj and halved it in 5, while Miss Curtis mitt have won it in 4 had she not made a bad approach. Colonel gey was beaten again on the next hole by both, as tbey halved it In 5. and Mrs. Fox halved the ninth hole in 3 by a long putt, making honors even at the turn.

Mrs. Fox laid her opponent a stymie at the tenth green and won the hole. 4-5. and then captured the eleventh because Miss Curtis topped her drive into the bunker and made othtr mistakes. This made the Pbiladelpbian 2 up.

but she topped her second shot to the twelfth hole, and Miss Curtis woo. 5-8. The g'rl took a side track to the bole, but despite the green reached the green ia 3 and halved ia 5. leaving Mrs. Fox.

NEW YORK. Oct. 21. Developments at the weighing in today of the cars entered for the Vanderbilt Cup race on Saturday indicate that only seventeen cars will line up at the starting point. Inability to bring the Thomas No.

8 down to the weighing limit of 2644.3 pounds compelled the E. R. Thomas Motor Company to notify the club commission that the car would not start. Efforts were made at the factory to lighten the car sufficiently to bring it to weight, but it was realized that In order to do so safety would have to be sacrificed. The wihdrawal of one of the Thomas cars leaves the field officially at eighteen, but of these the B.

L. entered to be driven by Williams, also failed to show tip at the scales. Thomas Williams, who entered the car, stated that the car had been sold and would not likely start in the race. As the car is not on the course and only two flays for practice remain It is considered a virtual certainty that the machine will not be a starter. The absence of the B.

L. M. would leave the field at seventeen, and this number will start, barring accidents in practice between now and Saturday. With the field reduced a cause of worry for the starter and the Vanderbilt Cup Commission has been removed. Cntil today it had not been decided whether or not the interval between starters would be a minute or thirty seconds.

Several of the cars were reported to have covered the course in practice in nineteen minutes, which would have brought the first car around at the time last one was sent away. Now. however, the starter will have no hesitancy in making the Interval a minute, which will scatter the cars on all sections of the course and will leave no break in interest such as would have occurred had the cars started thirty seconds apart. Fifteen cars showed up at Bray's scales at Garden City for the ceremony of weishlng in. The absentees were the Renault, to be driven by Strang, and Robert Graves' big Mercedes, which was partly wrecked at the Jericho turn on Sunday morning.

The Renault people telephoned that they were not ready to weigh and asked permission to bring the cars to the scales tomorrow morning, which was granted. Work in repairing Mr. Graves' car is being rushed at a New York garage, and it will probably be towed out to the course tomorrow night or Friday morning at the latest. Strieker, although he was injured in the accident, has practically recovered and will be at the wheel on Saturday morning. The car will probably be weighed Friday morning.

All the cars brought before the commission succeeded in making the weight, but some were nearly stripped before being successful. Eight or ten cars were out during the morning for practice, but the weather was cold and little work was dene. A stiff wind whipped across the parkway section of the circuit, but most of the speed was shown there, owlftg to too liberal application of oil on other parts of the course. Of this some of the drivers complained bitterly. At the easterly end of the parkway, where there is about half a mile of uncemented road, laborers appeared to have poured barrels of oil.

which, mixed with the dust, made a sticky black mixture that the wheels threw In all directions. YALE CRIPPLES TWO OF HER STAR MEN Special to The Inquirer. NEW HAVEN, Oct. 21.

Frank J. Farrell. owner of the New York Americans, aggravated about the many stories now being industriously circulated by enemies of his club and of the American League, tonight Issued a brief statement denying that President Johnson or any one connected with the American League had tried to prevent Farrell from signing George Stalllngs to manage the Highlanders next season. Mr. Farrell asserts that Stalllngs has not signed a contract with the New Y'ork Americans; that there Is no opposition to Stalllngs in the American League, and tbat there is nothing to prevent him signing with the New York Club if he should wish to do so.

Mr. Farrell's signed statement follows: "Newspaper stories are to the effect that obstacles may be thrown in my way relative to signing George H. Stalllngs to manage the New. York Americans next season, I desire to say that while Mr. Stalllngs has not signed a contract with my club, there is nothing to prevent him doing so.

"So far as 1 know there Is -no opposition in the American League to Mr. Stalling. and stories to the effect that he Is being opposed by president Johnson are without foundation and detrimental to his reputation." Griffith May Manage the Reds CINCINNATI. Oct. 21 (Special).

LOCUST JACK MAKES NEW TRACK RECORD Special to The Inquirer. BALTIMORE.

Oct. 21. In one of the roost exciting races seen for many years on this course. Locust Jack, owned by J. Farley, of Lexington.

broke the track record here this afternoon, lowering the figure by 2'4 seconds. The feat occurred in the first heat of the free-for-all. when Locust Jack and Wilkes Heart finished so close that not until the winner was announced by Judge Biggs could the spectators tell which horse had won. The new time established is 2-101k. Locust Jack was given a bad start, for the sipnal word found him at least three lengths behind his two competitors.

Before the quarter post was reached, however, he had pulled up on Wilkes Heart and from that point it was a neck and neck race between the two. In the finish both animals were put under the whip and the crowd of sjiectators rose as one excited mass as the two horses dashed under the wire, hardly an. inch separating their nosos.

Oct. 21. Practice at the Naval Academy this week continues to be Inspired with the one Idea of winning from Harvard on Saturdav If possible. This afternoon a spirited battle with the scrub took the place of the University of Maryland came, which had been canceled, and the scrub was helped most of the time br Howard and Dougias. former Navv stars, and now of the coaching staff.

The latter gave the regulars a chance to diageose some of Harvard's favorite plavs. particularly the formation which two of the backs stood ready to receive the ball for a punt so as to keep the opponents in doubt as to which will receive it. The two ex-plavers also tried some long end runs and forward passes from this formation, but were not able to make much headway. However, their punting kept the regulars from running no a score. But one score was made in the fifteen minutes of plav.

a touchdown after a 25-yard run by Lange. Several of the regulars took a rest this afternoon. Reinicke was substituted for Mever at left guard, and the ends were cared for bv Cobb and Bischoff. Reifsnider and King being on the side lines. Right half was occupied for a time bv both Clay and Dalton.

it being a matter of doubt as to which will finally fill the place. There was a rumor today that President Roosevelt might come over from Washington to see the representatives of his alma mater and his yonthful naval wards contest, but it was learned this afternoon that his visit was unlikely. McFARLAND BESTS CROSS Chicago Boxer Tntst It All Over the 'ew Yorker NEW YORK, Oct. 21 (Special). Iu a slashing six-round session before a crowd that filled every available inch of room at Tbe Kalrmount A.

C. tonight. Packey McFarland. the pride Of the Chicago Stock Yards, had all the better of the milling with Leach Cross, the idol of the East Side. With the Chicagoan setting the pace the boys fought at a terrific clip from bell to bell.

Packey's whirlwind scrapping swept the East Sider off his feet and McFarland captured all the rounds with the exception of the fifth. In that round Cross came back and carried the fighting to his opponent, having Packey tired and groggy at the bell. McFarland. with a vicious left and right to the Jaw. sent Cross to the board for the count of six In the third round.

The East Sider stayed down till his head cleared and coming up managed to weather the gale with loth auchors dragging. After the fifth Packey swung into the lead again and, battling like a bulldog, hammered Cross all over the ring in the final session. No sweeter music ever chimed in Cross' ears than the clang of the gong in the final session, for the East Sider was wobbly and fast weakening. There was none of the preliminary feeling-out tactics in the first round. Packey rushed out of his corner and sent a stiff "left at Cross' jaw.

Iach ducked and hooked his right to the Jaw. Packey retaliated with a left and right to the head and body. They exchanged lefts and then both missed with lefts. Packey began to rough it catching Cross' bead in a clinch and whirling the East Sider off his feet. Packey planted a hard left to the law and followed up bv hammering Cross with wicked rights and lefts.

Cross blocked a few of the punches, but most of the shots went home. Cross hooked a left to the stomach and slid out of the corner. Packey's whirlwind burst sent him to the ropes again, and at the bell the Chicagoan was having all the better of the milling. McFarland onened the third with a left to the jaw and followed with a left and right to the same place. Leach laced a left to the jaw and Packey crossed with his right.

Packey backed the East Sider into his corner, where Leach slipped to the floor. As he arose be was met with a smashing left and right that sent him toppling to the boards. He was up at the count of six and by stalling and covering up managed to last the session, though the Westerner frequently sent him to the ropes. McFarland carried the fieht to Cross in the fourth, hammering the East Sider all over the ring. In the fifth, however.

Leach unleashed a corking rally, and before the fans were aware of it Cross had turned the tide and was having all the better of the milling. McFar'and went to his corner tired and groggy. The Westerner came back in the final session and more than made up for the beating Cross handed him In the fifth. Packey uncorked a grandstand finish, the vleiousness of his assault driving Cross before him like chaff before the wind. Packey had Leach on the ropes several times, and only Cress clever blocking saved him from a probable knock-out.

Cross went to his corner tired and groggv, nid It is doubtful if. he could have lasted another session. Bushnell Lectures on Olympic Games Edward R. Bushnell. who represented the University of Pennsylvania as a member of the American Olympic team to Paris in 1900.
