Plmlico's greatest Fall meeting, unsurpassed in attendance, caliber of sport and everything else, came to a close yesterday with the running of another sparkling card. It was a meeting which attracted practically all America's stellar equlnes, and was conducted In an efficient manner by those under the direction of whom the sport came. As could be expected, the customary long shots came rolling home on getaway day.

The biggest surprise in this line occurred In the opening number of the program when J. Lumsden Veteran, with Murphy up, beat a field of maiden two-year-olds over the mile route the handsome price of $65.50 to each $2 ticket. Veteran assumed an essy lead going down the back-stretch, but was tiring rapidly at the end, anfl just managed to outlast Courcelles by a head. Another outsider to snatch a was Mrs. Donohue's Toppy Nix, which iwfW 1 GAR FARE HIGH TEAM WILL FLY EASTON.

Nov. 14. The football team of the United States Aviation School at Garden City, Long Island, will fly to this city on Thanksgiving morning and will play the Lafayette S. A. T.

C. team In the afternoon on March Field. The game had been pending for sometime, but final arrangements were delayed until this afternoon, when formal announcement was made by the local management. It is the plan of every member of the aviators squad to make the jovr-ney from the school to Easton by airplane. They will fly over in the morning, circle the city a number of times, land on the golf course at the Northampton Country Club nearby, and then proceed to March Field for the game.

The school management has given its consent to the plan and the day promises to be a spectacular one in the annals of athletes at Lafayette College. Lafayette got down to real work yesterday in an effort to remedy the defects shown in the Penn game. The showing made last Saturday by the line was decidedly disappointing, and Coach Corbett wisely devoted his entire attention to it yesterday afternoon. The 'varsity line was kept on the defense during the entire forty minutes of scrimmage. Two backfields alternated In carrying the ball, hitting guard and tackle three times out of every four plays.

Every man on the line was given individual attention and instrubtion In playing his position. Conspicuous In the afternoon workout was the playing of Mason, a member of the vocational unit. Mason has been doing excellent work on the second team during the past two weeks, and yesterday afternoon Conch Corbett shifted him to the 'varsity, where he did yeoman defensive work. It is likely that he will be given a Chance in Saturday's game against Franklin and Marshall. Although there is no disposition here to underate Franklin and Marshal, Coach Corbett is building from now on for the game with Lehigh, to be played on March Field on the 26th.

Among these are Charley Shaw, the halfback and intercollegiate half- mile champion, and Memmott, a second string back, and the best drop-kicker on the squad. READING, Nov. 14.

Perkiomen School has had two more games canceled. Allentown Prep was to play in Pennsburg last Saturday, but after the opening of their school last week found it necessary to cancel all of the important games on their schedule. The Fort Myer Quartermaster Corps team was scheduled for next Saturday, but. due to troop movement, they will be unable to come. This is especially disappointing because of the fact of playing a service team and that Lilly and Irwin, former Perkioman hoys, were pJaying on the team.

Coach Sprout is endeavoring to schedule a good team for Saturday. CHICAGO, Nov. 14.

FAST GAME HERE ON SATURDAY Plans are steadily being laid for the pulling off of the big Bucknell-Get-tysburg College football game next Saturday here on Island Park. It has been announced that reserve seat tickets are now on sale at J. Harry Messersmith's Haberdashery Store on Market street. Information Is daily being handed for publicity to the local press from old grads of the two schools and it appears that Bucknell will gb into the game with a shade the better back-field. However, Gettysburg has a powerful line and also a backfield of no mean ability so she is likely to spring surprises.

The betting is even on the outcome of the game. Gettysburg is pinning the hopes of her backfield on Bream, a boy from Gettysburg High School, who has come rapidly to the front and bids fair to becoming a roal star. Nothing has as yet been said as to Nobe Frank. This former local star has been kept out of the game for a great part of the season owing to an attack of the "flu" and also to a game ankle. It is expected that Nobe will appear in the battlefield line-up Saturday.

Did VJLT- Or- TrVAT 1 HEM1!) I IcPOf.E' Up River Aviators ft was a practice game. That is the best and only explicit way possible to tell of the clash between the Middltown Aviators and the Blue and Gold warriors yesterday afternoon on the uptown gridiron. Many and efficient were the scorers on the side lines of the recent battle but even they could Hot keep track of the touchdowns made by the husky soldiers, who, before the game was finally over had romped over the goal line more than eight or nine times. Being a sort of practice affair the victors did not attempt to kick any goals and so the afternoon was spent in giving one side the ball and thus giving both sides practice on the defensive and offensive. Coach Rudl-sill and Lieutenant Blumer put their warriors through a strenous workout, shifting them into various positions that they wanted to practice and thus the afternoon was a profitable one to both sides.

The Blue and Gold backfield hit a tougher proposition than they have encountered the whole year, including the Dickinson College game, when they hit the soldier line. These men outweighed the local lads by ten pounds to-a man and thus were easily able to walk right through the opposing line and nail the runner for losses every time. When the Academy did break through every once in a while as each one of the Hln and Gold backfield men did at one or two times during the fray, they did not pet more than ten yards as the Mlddletown backfield was even stronger than the line. Shaw, playing halfback for the lads in khaki was especially fast. This lad was on his toes every minute of play and aside from making numerous low and clean tackles, he ripped off quite a few nice runs.

Dore, playing quarter, was perhaps the best man on the offensive for the Soldiers. During the irst five minutes of play he dashed across the goal line for six points, each time. His first game was on a long end run, the second when he intercepted a forward and the third when he picked up the ball on a fumble and ran forty yards through an open field for another touchdown. This man also scored a few other touchdowns, but as we have said, the score was too high to keep track of the number of touchdowns by each man. At that though, considering by how much they were outweighed, the Blue and Gold played an admirable game.

Weigles' forward passing, which has been getting long gains for the Blue and the Gold this year, was not working at all yesterday. This was not because of his throwing or on account of the Blue and Gold eligibles not being there, but mainly because WHEAT FLOUR BAN REMOVED All wheat cakes and bread are now permissible and wil be no longer necessary to look with sus picion on hard bits of miscellany that teeth have come In contact with In recent months. Many bakers during the period when substitutes had to be used got away with wholesome looking bread, but some ot the bread on the market hereabouts has a dissolute look about it as though it had been out all mpht All this will probably soon come to an end and real cakes can be built up two or three stories high again without chaff and with plenty of icing, fot the sugar allowance is growing larger every once in awhile Food Administrator Donald Mc-Cormick has received a telegram from Federal Food Administrator Hoover announcing the removal of the ban on the purchase of wheat fiour without an accompanying percentage of substitutes. The old rules called for the use of twenty per cent of wheat flour. Mr.

McCormick also called attention to the meeting of local restaurant and hotel men which he has called for next Tuesday evening at the Central Y. M. C. A. The need for conservation Is Just as great as ever, notwithstanding the recent conclusion of armistice terms, the Food Administrator stated.

The cattle survey in Dauphin County will be carried out without change, Mr. McCormick said, despite reports to the contrary. The blanks sent out by the County Food Administration are expected to be turned in in accordance with the pre viously announced plans. November 18 is the date set, for the survey. -BUYWARSAvlNGS STAMPS-FORMER HIRGESS DIES SCRAN TON, Nov.

A hard scrimmage was the first thing on the program, some of the men needing a lot of hardening as well as a "bucking-up" of courage. W. and J. was so easy on Saturday that the players "sloughed off" somewhat yesterday and Warner had all their faults in mind when he appeared on the field today. He drove the boys very hard yesterday, following up order after order as he chased his men down the field.

Stein and McCracken were given a stiff workout at center while the guards and tackles were instructed in several of the ground gaining stunts of the Red and Blue team. The plan of next Saturday's game has been mapped out and while another hard practice may be indulged In today, it is likely that fundamentals and signal work will predominate until Saturday. The men that old Penn will have to watch particularly are McLaren, Easterday, Gougler and Davles, not forgetting Harrington, Hilly and Stahl. -KBUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS RAMSEY MAY BE MADE SPEAKER Plans are started to make the next session of the Legislature a short one. With an overwhelmingly Republican complexion the House and Senate will reorganize with little trouble.

The Vares will go along with the Penrose men on the speakership and there will not be a repitition of the Cox-Baldwin fight of two years ago, The Vares this time will probably only look out for the Vares, as indicated by the selection of John R. K. Scott as their floor leader. They do not want legislation that will divorce politics and contracting. According to the Public Ledger, "half a dozen or more members of the House are being mentioned as possible speakership candidates, the most prominent fwhom is William Ramsey, of Delaware County.

Ramsey is "wet," but this, it is said, will work to his advantage, as the House undoubtedly will be wet' by more than a safe majority. The fact that he is a resident of Delaware County, which supplied the last Speaker, may encourage some objection to him, but in this connection it is emphasized it has been the custom to re-elect a Speaker. This cannot be the case with Mr. Baldwin. Other members mentioned for the speakership are: Hugh Dawson, of Lackawanna; Sigmund Gans, of Phila delphia; Fred K.

Ehrhardt, of JUicka wanna; W. F. Stadtlander, of Alle gheny; William Davis, of Cambria County; Duncan Sinclair, of Fayette County, and George W. Williams, of Tioga County. Williams, is the only "dry" man in the aggregation mentioned.

He of course, hitting a much stronger defense, did not make as many gains and long runs yesterday as his usual playing, but ho was there again when the opponents began passing, and as usual made a gain on an intercepted pass. Yingst, Welgle and Monger were also playing their good games. The acting captain, Welgle, was about the only one of the trio that made any long gains, however.

The prosecutor had planned to give the negro a hearing yesterday afternoon before Justice of the Peace Long, of Fairfield, when news came that the stage was set for mob work.
