The first flight of race horse followers started tor New Orleans yesterday and other delegations will be following all next week. The meeting Is, scheduled to open on Thanksgiving Day and run for sixty-five days. The track is over-run with horses and the officials of the club are having a hard time taking care of all of them.

New Orleans will have a practical monopoly of winter racing, as Tia Juana will not open. Havana opens Its track on Thanks giving for a season lasting into March. Racing has prospered in Cuba but has not reached anything like the development attained at New Orleans. Martin Nathanson Is acting as secretary for the Havana meeting.

The question will be thoroughly hashed out at, the annual meetings of the big leagues, and until after these sessions are held no one will be able to predict what the consensus of opinion may bo when all arguments for and against shortening the schedules have been heard.

University of Pittsburgh has received a chal- lenge from Georgia Tech to play an extra season game the comingr day for the benefit of the Red Cross. Pitt was unable to accept the offer, however, for the reason that two games are already scheduled for next week and It was considered a physical impossibility to play another game. Penn State College Is met Thanksgiving Day and two days after that Saturday, December 1 a benefit game is played with the soldier team from Camp Lee, Va. The entire re- ceipts go to the regimental fund. i The playing of the game will enable 500 or more boys who were called for the National Army from the Pitts- burgh District to get home for Thanksgiving Day.

The Pitt team is in bad shape right now as a result of the hard season gone through and the shortage of material due to enlistments before and during the season. Captain Carl GET GRID HONOR Johnson to Ask That Government Exempt 288 1 Major League Players I i CHICAGO, Nov. 22. Ban Johnson, i president of the American League, will ask the War Department to grant exemption from military service to eighteen men on each of the six- the thirty-two men who composed the varsity squad last year eleven were available when Coach Warner took charge this year. Eight of the men who didn't return are now in France, including three of the four great backfield stars Dehart, Morrow and Hastings.

After the season opened, Aschman, regular quarterback, and Hilty, star varsity tackle, were called.

Non-participation in football this year by Yale, Harvard and Princeton means that even more than last year will the West have to be considered in selecr tions for ail-American honors. The West though, has long been known as a stronghold of football. Men out there have been picked time after time to share the honor posts with men from the big Eastern colleges. Seldom has it Deen that the South has gained even a favorable mention when time came for the experts to dig out their dope and nominate ail-American candidates. This year it isn't going to be so.

Said director should be cited for modesty rented, taxes, railroad fare, umpires' salaries, some players' salaries, managers' salaries, hotel bills, will not be greatly changed because of a shorter playing season. Transportation next Summer will be higher than ever before on account of ihe war tax on tickets, and the tax on admissions to the ball parks may be responsible for keeping a certain per cent of patrons from going to the games as often as they have in the past. Figuring that the average ball club has players under contract and that the salaries of its star players are fixed, it is doubtful if the club owners will make an effort to trim salaries on a wholesale basis. So, after sifting the ifs, ahda and buts through a fine screen, it appears that the lopping off of fourteen games would be a hardship rather than a help, and especially to the clubs fighting for first division berths during the last stages of the race. a'ter the National League meeting is Technical and Central High Schools staged their final scrimmages 'this af-ternon On the Island Park gridirons, preparatory to the games to be played this week.

Central will be given only a light signal practice tomorrow afternoon while the Maroon hopes are to be given a day's rest Central meets Steelton in the final clash of the two schools on the local field this week, the game starting promptly at 2.30 o'clock. Tech will play it last game on foreign fields the team meeting Wilkes-Barre High in that city. Steelton, like the two local teams, went through the closing scrimmage this afternoon on the Cottage Hill afield. Players and Coach Cockill alike had difficulty in working on the slip- pery and muddy field but Coach Cock-ill welcomed the opportunity to give his players a workout with a slippery ball. Fumbles were numerous at the start of the work but later in the scrimmage the men handled the ball error.

IT DOESSPT PAT performances so far, leave Georgia Tech out of his summing up for the season will have to hunt a lot of alibis, for the Southern institute has about as classy a football team, as can be found. In Guyon, former Carlisle star, Georgia Tech, has a man who, in the palmiest days at Carlisle, was a terror. And he is even more so now.

In Strupper the school has a light halfback who is said to be even a better man than the Indian, and in Harlan a fullback exists who is The superior of nearly any other player. Picking backfield material is going to be a process of elimination between Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech material unless some other backs step, into the game mighty fast Howard Berry hasn't shown with the brilliance of these men. Chick Harley, of Ohio State, will have to do some marvelous playing if he hopes to gain consideration over these men. The two halfbacks at Georgia Tech are almost certain to land somewhere in the honorable accounts Of football. McLaren seems slated for the other place.

The South has given the war-time game the greatest eleven the sunny land ever saw, and by so doing has done a lion's share in keeping sports alive.

Lovejoy has performed acceptably when given an opportunity while Nichols has shown symptoms of running that mayVit him better for the new job. Nichols generalship in the Ohio game was not considered the best and this is one reason Zuppke is trying out a new scheme. Another reason is the inability to find the best man for right halfback.
