8 IS WON-BY GRESGEUS KETtHAKS CHESTMT STALLKIX DOWN MR. LAWSO.VS TWENTY THOISAXU TEE ABBOT WINS ONE HEAT In the (Seem Matl Full to Keen the Sscaimefl on Ills i I Feet. Sept. prut stallion Cresceus obtained a firmer i grasp on his crown as king of trotters' by defeating his only rival, The Abbot, on the ReadvlHe track today -in three out of four heats. The two fastest trotters in tin- world raced for a offered by Thomas W.

Lawson, and the money which the 12.000 people paid to see the event all went to a well known local charity. The weather was perfect, but the track was very heavy from recent rains, although it looked fast, so that no records were broken or even" approached; in fact, the fastest that in the last In at. was only 4 The race was disappointing to a Targe i majority of the crowd and seemed to lead to the conclusion The Abbott not r-eeovertd frim his sickness of last spring. The Abbott broke repeat-, edly and lost valuable distance. the first heat he went off his feet before i reaching the first turn, and was ten lengths belli at the finish.

He managed to keep up in the second, and; to the delight of the crowd passed Cresceus i at the half and won by a length. the third, however, another break came right at the start, and the Scannell horse barely saved his distance at the finsh. Finally tee weights were resorted to, and while they apparently steadied The Abbot, at the same time they sapped his vitality, so that "ion the moment came for the supreme effcrt in the dash for the in the last heat, exhausted nature rebelled and Cresceus won the heat and race by several lengths. Mr. Ketcham, the owner and driver of Creseeus, while naturally delighted with the result, admitted that even his horse was not in proper shape, and that he lost the second heat because he did not stir Cres 'eus up in the first half mile to the realization that there was a race on.

When it was all over and his hoi was being led back to the stable Mr. Bcannell, the owner of The Abbott, said that the best horse won but that the track was wretched. He took the de- feat, however, with good nature. The. third Interested party in today's tjjent, Mr.

Thomas W. Lawson, smiled cynically and said it looked like a race between "busted horses." He also pointed out that the time was slower than in yes- i terday's race between Lord Derby and Bnralma. I It was early in the afternoon when trie two grrat trotters, Cresceus and The Abbott came out for their first heat. Ketcham had won the tos.3 ar.d the pole, and after scoring three, times the word was finally given and away they with Cre-s-ceus in the leal. In the i scoring The Abbot acted badly.

that few were surprised when, at turn, he suddenly went into the air in a break. By hard work Goers got him back on his feet, but by this time Crts- ceus was far in the lead, over a dozen lengths to the good. It looked like a hopeless race for The Abbot in that. hr at; In at one time it seemed as if cens might be able to shut out the nell horse and win the big; purse then I and there, but ers managed to pull up I a little, and at the half was only ten lengths behind. This distance still further by the time the threequarter pole was passed, and at the turn Into the stretch The Abbot was Geers made no attempt to push his horse further, so Creeceus won the first heat: toy ten lengths.

The second heat proved very exciting, for th time The Abbot kept his feet, but as usual, Cresceus went out at the-. and again led at the turn. At the Quarter pole he was a length to the good and increased his distance to two lengths the tnreceighths. Then Getrs began to drive and rapidly cut down the distance -to a length, half a a quarter of a length, until just after the two rwept by the half mile pole The Abbot dashed ahead and for the first time, took the lead and the pole. The crowd, which all along seemed to favor The Abbot, was frantic.

Geers made the lead two lengths and then three and so the flyers entered the stretch. Ketcham gave the big chestnut the severest punishment he had "ever undergone at point, and, smarting under the sting! blows of the whip," Cresceus dashed after The Abbot. Geers touched his horse with the whip only twice and it t.us just enough -to make The Abbot Win half a length. But in the third heat it was different, for again The Abbot acted badly and the two horses scored five times before they got the word. Ketcham kept sending Cresceus out ahead with the apparent Intention of getting The Abbot off his it.

He succeeded so well that when tin finally got the word The Abbot loroke right under the wire. In fact, the came with the starter's word, but too late for the horses to be recalled. Cresceus sped out ahead and was around the turn before The Abbot had even started in the race. This time It looked as if Ketcham had won his trick r.nri The Abbot fairly out. He drove Cresceus like the wind and was over fifty yards ahead afc the half.

But Geers not despair and he once more sent "the Abbot along and managed to get well within the distance Hag when. Cresceus passed under the wire, a hfat by nearly forty yards. Before the fourth heat was called twoounce toe weights were put on The Abbot's fore hoofs in order to steady hrn. Both drivers came to the conclusion that the track was too heavy near the pole Jor fast work, so both horses were up on the outside of the track. They only scored twice, in neither of did The Abbot break, which gave confidence to his followers.

At the word Ctesceus Immediately went out in front and was three lengths to the good at the quarter pole. For a few hundred yards The Abbot trailed along behind, bul before the half was reached he began to draw up and was only two lengths bihiul at that point. Foot by foot the ScanneH horse pulled down Cresceus' lead until at the Jive-eighths pole the two racing along on even terms to the wild del'gilt of the crowd. At the threequarters The Abbot was in the lead, but Could not quite fetch the pole, which rrrpcouH kept to the finish. The around the turn killed The Abbot and when at the beginning of the stretch Crosceus came up even Geers found his; horse exhausted.

A perceptible groan Went vi) from the crowd as the big chestnut da.shed away from the griding and it was a relief to see Ueers flnaily pull up and allow Cresceus to win tiio heat and one of the largest purses We Challenge the World to- furnish better, more care in measurement "shrinking," better and more, :n.on(;st'^ workmanship, and a more satisfactory suit, coat or trousers: V- we bur we are. willing "to: take" up" the IMi i Rau.ntlet as price, and you will find that we win Prove champions on that vf score as well.

The St. Paul boys" also showed up well, although not as well as Minneapolis central. They were the l.ghtest of the three teams and; faced a fiercer offense than the other high school eleven, but, in spite of the odds against them, put up a most plucky fight. On the university team hardly a played, the game as it should be On defensive the 'varsity men found little difficulty in either. of the high school teams, but on the offensive their play was atrocious.

In fact, if the work of the 'varsity is to be judged on yesterday's showing (which every rooter must pray is not correct) many of the players have mistaken their, rThe offensive work, especially in the first half, showed little ginger and no judgment or teamwork. The runners hit the line with a gentleness which would d'sprove any contention as to the brutality of" the game. NO AGGRESSIVE WORK. The blockers seemed to forget that their duty was to put the opposing players out of the play. -Frequently the backs would pass a tackier without touching him, giving him every opportunity to reach the runner.

The aggressive; quality which characterized Minnesota's offense, last fall was entirely lacking. Individually and collectively the 'varsity men disported themselves in a manner which made the rooters seriouslyl debate whether they were not intentionally "playing horse." 1 The 'varsity won the toss for the first half and Bidlake kicked off for Central higlx The 'varsity rushed ten yards and lost the ball for holding. Central retained the pigskin hardly a moment, but whatever chance the 'varsity had to sore was spoiled. by holding in the line, using hands or fumbles. Once, shortly after the game began, this inability to hold the ball came near costing dear.

McCarthy, seizing the oval, as it was dropped by onV I of. the 'varsity backs, broke free from the bunch with a clear field before him. Fee saved a touchdown, overtaking the i school. captain, and bringing him to earth' at the 'varsity, forty'yard line. The half proved uninteresting, the school boys playing entirely on defensive, but the poor play of the varsity prevented the taking advantage of its opponent's inability to gain ground.

Once they rushed the ball ten-yard line, but a confusion of signals resulted. a forward pass which gave the ball to the higth school. SECOND HALF. In the second half the varsity again won the toss- and the wind. The men gave evidence of having received a severe roasting, from the coaches, for their pliy, while hardly less ragged than in the first half, showed a little more speed and They took the ball at the kickoff on the twenty-five-yard line and rushed tie length of the field for a touchdown without losing it.

Before the half ended they succeeded in pushing the leather across twice; more and lost other chances to score by fumbles. Taken as a. whole, the play, show little improvement over the first. The runners displayed more ness in going into the line, but the interference" was marked by the same listlessness as before. Looking forward' to the game with' Nebraska, now only three weeks' distant, it must be.

admitted that there is great cause for on the part of the Minnesota rooters. The play of the var-' Kity yesterday cannot be said to be mv better than it was last year, at this time and there is not the excuse of raw material that- was made at The men this year are nearly all experiencedplayers. Those who have not played the varsity before have had exDeiience in i preparatory or on the second team.

J. WAS TOO FAST FOR EGAN By Winning- the Hatch the Younu. Now Yorker Remains ctiiimjtion Amatear Golfer of the United States. ATLANTIC CITY, N. Sept.

"Walter J. Travis, of New York, champion amateur golfer of the united States, again won the national championship by defeating Walter E. Egan, of Chicago today on the links of the Atlantic City Golf club, at Northfield, near played good golf except toward the- end of the first nine holes this forer.oon, when He became a little unsteady. Travis' play was also faulty. There were several periods during the match when he played far 'below, his usual form, but being veteran of many a golf battle, he more quickly than did his younger opponent.

The champion's strongest point Was his long game and it was through Jhis good strong drives that he was- enabled to win. He out-distanced Egan on every drive except two' or three instances. Travis' direction was also above that of Egan, the latter several times being handicapped in a drive'too far to the right or to the left. There was not rhuch to choose between the short game the two men. Taken as a whole the work of both men on the 'green was a little; below their top game.

The morning round of 18 holes was a much better exhibition of golf than the afternoon performance. At the end of the first nine holes Egan was one up, but Travis, by clever play, managed to make the match all square at the end of the morning game. In the afternoon it soon became evident that Travis would win. He was two up at the turn and made four up on the next two holes. Here the Western held him for two holes, but on the fourteenth the champion, by excellent golf, won out amid the plaudits of the gallery.

Ideal weather prevailed for the sport and the course was ia excellent condition. The attendance was due to the fact that the match had been postponed from last Saturday, owing to the death of President McKinley. A fog hung over the links during the early morning and the heavy dew made the links just trifle wet. The sun came cut strongly toward 10 o'clock and the course was soon dry. The air was cold and everybody wore a top coat.

Travis and Egan came out early and practiced some before starting the match. Play was started at 9:40. The champion had the honor and his tee drive was twenty yards better than that of Egan. Both overran the green in their approach, but on two gjed putts they halved the hole in four. Travis again out-drove the' Western man on the tesoff for the second hole.

Egan's approach fell short while Travis again over-ran the green. They tried hard to hole out in four, but it took five to do it and the hole was Egan's opening drive to the next hole lacked direction ajnd he got into the- long grass. In trying jto straighten himself out he made worse by getting behind several 1 trees. Travis reached the green in several pretty strokes and holed out in. four by, brilliant twenty-foot put.

It took Egan six to hole out. This made Travis one up, Travis landtd his tee drive to the fourth hole on the edge of the green. Egan's fell fifty feet shorter. He approached hbwever, and made the hole in- four. Triavis had a chance to hole out in- three; i but he rimmed the cup and It took hitn-five to get into the hole, thus making the'-matdh all even.

There was difference in the first two drives of the men to the fifth hole, except that the champion had the better direction. The. latter put his third short right on one corner of the green while Egan's fell short. Another short stroke out landed them near the edge of the cup. Both missed on their next and the hole was divided in six strokes.

Both men got into trouble on their way to the sixth hole. Travis drive struck a tree and he landed in a bunker. Egan too. got into the bunker; but not through striking the tree. Tlxe champion made a beatiful aprpoach and.

holed out on a short putt in four, Egan takingfive to negotiate the hole. This again put Travis in the lead. A wide and deep sand pit lies directly in front of the seventh green and they played their drives with great They cleared the hazard safely and landed four feet from the tour strokes fifth missed, and then the champion missed another easy chance to score by rimming the cup and it was his oponent's hole in which again made the match all square. 'V Travis as dead on the green in his opening drive to the eighth hole, while Egan was a little short. The latter, however, approached well and managed to halve the hole in three.

Both men made good tee drives on their way. to the ninth. On the second shot, however, Travis got into another bunker. Egan had better fortune and cleared it. The latter held his advantage by a neat approach and made the hole in i five to Travis' six.

This made the Western man one up for the outward journey. The card: Travis 4 5 4 5 6 4 7.3 Egan 5 6 .3 Travis used his iron on the tee off for the tenth hole and was well on the green: Egan landed on the edge with a wooden club drive.

QuiiUt-ra Lead at End of Second liny'H Play at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. second day's play in the international cricket match between the eighteen Philadel phia colts and Bosanquet's team of English cricketers ended here today with honors strongly in favor of the Quakers. Against an over-night score of 173, the Englishmen could only respond with 131. Starting their second venture, the youngsters ran up the big score of 130 for the loss of seven wickets, thus securing a lead of 172 runs and eleven wickets in hand, against the visitors' single innings.

The collapse of the Englishmen for so small a total can only be attributed to the fact that they had nineteen fielders against them instead of the customary eleven. Many of the batsmen made strokes that under ordinary conditions would have meant two or three runs, while today they were fielded and rapidly returned. MADISON Sill AUK RACES.
