Allegheny never succeeded in" holding: State for downs, neither did they mak a first down themselves.

Are The second and final day of the meet of the Plttsburj Automobile club, at Bruno's Island, witnessed far better racing that than of the previous day.

The Judges were enabled to handicap with more precision and the races were closer and more hotly contested. O. E. Vestal carried off the honors of the day, among the home drivers, winning three races. Earney Oldfleld.

by more spectacular driving, lowered the record of 1 minute flat for a mile, which he established on 'rlday as the track record. Yesterday Mr. Oldtleld kept hammering awny at the track's record, lowering It to 59 2-5 seconds, and finally to 5S 1-5 seconds for the mile. Then he took a faU out of the 24-horsepower 10-mlle lecord. and lt a ruce lowered the record ft 11 minutes to 10 minutes 50 1-5 seconds.

The crowd numbering more than 4,000 cheered him repeatedly as he swept around the turns. OMfteld competed In the lo-mile race for 24-horsepower machines and In the handicap. In addition he went two exhibition races, one for nve miles and one for three miles. His racing In the last event of the day. the five-mile handicap, was of the sensational order, and the crowd roared when he came In a winner in the stretch of the fifth mile.

George E. Turner, the plucky Plttsburg driver, and W. C. Temple's driver. Lester Wilson, also helped to make the races Interesting.

The first event of the day, a two-mile race for automobiles up to 24 horsepower, waa won by O. E. Vestal, who added to his collection of silverware by winning a handsome silver cup. Webb Jay drove the White steamer for Vestal and won handily. The second event was a one-mile race for automobiles up to 9-horsepower and a Cadillac machine picked off this event.

l. P. Collins driving the machine, which was entered by A. Banker. The time not fast, 2:124 being the time of the winner.

Third Race Popular Feature. The third race was one of the popular features of the day. Each man had to pick up a lady at the judge's stand after going one mile. Then the driver had to start and complete another mile, the first to the wire winning. As but three fair ones had beer engaged for the event, tieorge I.

Turner for a volunteer to help him out. Turner evidently was thought well of. for one woman volunteered to fill the vacancv and she cama within an ace of landing Turner a winner. Four machines were entered, the drivers being Lester Wilson, George D. Turner.

Ed Kneeland and O. E. Vestal. All got away well. Vestal came swinging under the wire first, but could not stop quickly and his lady had to run forward.

Turner was more lucky and his passenger lost practically no time at all Joining nlm. The While machine and Turner's Perrless got away close together, but the White, which has been making a clean-up both davs. drew away from the Peerless, and Vestal came under the wire a good winner. Turner was second. Kneeland third and Wilson fourth.

Tha time was not slow, considering the pom-Plications thrown Into the race by Cupid and the two mllea were made In 3:14. O. E. Vestal took the fourth race, a two-mile event for autos up to 18-horse-power. W.

N. Murray's Franklin, driven by George Stranahan. was first under the wire in the first mile, with the White second, but Vestal got after Stranahan In the second mile and started gaining on him. He closed up the gap between the machines and in the latter part of the race passed Stranahan and came under the wire a short distance ahead of him. The race was the closest run so far and the crowd heartily cheered the successful contestant.

Oldfleld Does Stunt. Barney Oldfleld. with his Green Dragon, then entered upon the scene and clipped a few spots off the record. His machine, however, went wror.g while finishing the race and he did not complete the five miles he was suoposed to do. He spun around one mile to get a fair start and made th mile 1:04 3-6.

The time was announced to the crowd, which was standing on tiptoe, and then Oldfleld rame sweeping Into the stretch again. The announcement of his second mile, 2-5 seconds, brought down the crowd, nd when Oldfleld, in a cloud of dust reiiemb.lng a baby cyclone, came down for the third time. In 68 1-5 seconds, the announcement was received with bursts of cheers. In the back stretch, while going the fourth mile, the Green Dragon broke down and only two cylinders were working. Oldfield finished the mi.e, however, his time being 1:03 1-5.

The machine whs then taken out for repairs. The record of 1-5 established will probably stand for some time, as the MO-horsepow-t-r machine Is the fastest that has ever raced in Pittsburg. Oldfleld scarcely finished his four-mile exhibition stunt until he was called out for the 10-mile race for touring cars up to 35-horsepower. He entered this with his 24-horsepower Peerless and won In one of the hottest races of the day. George E.

Turner put up a splendid race against Barney and was only three-quarters of a mile behind when Oldfleld finished. The time lor the 10 miles was fast, being The time of each mile was 1:05 2-5. 1:03 1-5, 1:04 3-5. 1:06 3-5. 1:06 4-5.

In the sixth mile Oldfleld was about three-eighths of a mile ahead of Turner and almost three-fourths of a mile, ahead 4if Beldln. He lapped the latter while coming down for the eighth mile. Finishing the stretch in the eighth mile Barney passed Beldln. who was Just finishing his seventh mile. Oldfleld's time was very last and although the strain undoubtedly told on him he came out after the event and went three miles for an exhibition race.

In his three-mile exhibition Oldfleld bettered his record of yesterday, every mile he went being under seconds. The first mile was mads In 58 4-5 seconds, the second In 58 2-5 seconds and the third in 68 2-5 seconds, making a total of 2:65 3-5 for the three miles. Oldfleld undoubtedly made better speeding every mile in the first and last quarters.

Six cars were entered in the first heat, four in the second and three in the last heat. Oldfield was entered In the last heat at scratch man.

Harvard Backs Tear Big Holes In William' Line and the Latter Crumbles to Pieces. CAMBRIDGE. Oct. 1. Harvard defeated Williams In the first football game of the season this afternoon by the score of 24 to 0.

which Is seven points better than her victory at the same time last year. During the whole game the crimson players worked as a single man, following the ball very closelv. The oval was cleanly handled by both teams, not a single fumble being made bv Harvard, and only one by Williams. The Harvard men directed their strength against their opponents' line, and they were able to break through almost at will. Only once was Harvard held for downs, and that was after the team was largely made up of subs.

At that point Williams held Harvard on her three-yard line, preventing another touchdown. Brill, the former Exeter tackle, now a Harvard freshman, was given a trial at left tackle, where he opened up great holes in the Williams line. The work of Mills at fullback was noteworthy. He repeatedly ploughed his way thiough for gains of five and ten yards. The play was fast and snappy throughout the game.

Noyes and Hugh Kernan did excellent work. The team work of the Williams eleven was excellent, but the men were unable to withstand the tremendous pushing of their opponents. Attendance, 6.000. Lineup: HARVARD 24. WILLIAMS-t).
