i£iO~ Flat—Pntclien’p East Mile
Created a Sensation and Driver
Hemey Was Given an Ovation.
First Quarter Was Covered in ill*
Seconds.
Memphis, Tenn.. Oct. 26.—With a
pacemaker carrying a wind shield in
front and accompanied by a runner
at the side, Dan Patch, driven by
Hersey, paced the fastest mile at the
Trotting Park to-day ever made by a
horse in harness, circling the track in
1:56 flat. The former record, 1:56*4.
was made by Dan Patch in 1902.
The son of Joe Patchen warmed up
in splendid shape and after scoring
once Hersey nodded for the word.
With clock-like precision the brown
horse stepped around the first turn
and to the quarter in 29 seconds.
Turning down the back stretch, Scott
Hudson, who drove the pacemaker,
had to urge his horse forward as Dan
Patch was crowding him. The pacing
marvel fairly flew to the half in 57%
Seconds, and when the time was an
nounced a great cheer came fr'om
those present.
Seemed to Falter.
On the far turn Dan Patch seemed
to falter, but only for an instant, and
on passing the three-quarter pole the
timer's board showed 1:26%. When
fairly straightened out for the flight
to the wire the brown pacer seemed to
gather renewed courage and coming
on a terrific clip, passed the judges’
stand in 1:56 fiat.
Cheer aftc-r cheer greeted the per
formance and Hersey was carried from
his sulky on his return to the stand.
The wind shield used was the same as
that employed when Dou Dillon trotted
a mile In 1:58%. It consisted of a
strip of canvas about four feet square
attached to the sulky of the running
pacemaker.
Major Delmar to Side Wlieeler.
Another sensational performance was
that of Major Delmar, E. E. Smathers'
trotting champion, when he trotted a
mile to a high wheel sulky in 2:07 flat.
It was announced by the judges before
the trial, that the sulky was a non
ball bearing one and weighed 54%
pounds. It was also explained the ve
hicle was the same pattern as that
used by Maud S.. in her memorable
flight against time in 1884, when she
trotted a mile in 2:08%.
Ed. Geers Injured.
The day’s sport was marred by an
unfortunate accident. Edward Geers
the veteran driver and trainer, was
exercising Joy milker, a local trotter,
and on turning into the stretch at a
.fast clip collided with one of several
track wagons on the grounds. His
sulky was tilted high in the air and
Geers was thrown heavily to the
ground. When assistance reached him
it was found he had sustained severe
injuries, one leg being broken and the
other badly injured. Geers was taken
to a hospital, where to-night it is re
ported he is resting easy. His injuries
are regarded as serious. Summaries:

BOILS and
ERUPTIONS
Have been suffering from Impure Blood
for many years, having Boils and other
Eruptions. Having heard of S. S. S. I de
rided to try it, anil am glad to say that it
has done tne a great deal of good. I intend
to continue to use it, as I believe it to be
the best Blood Medicine on the market
Cleveland, Tenn. W. K. Dbters.
For over fifteen years I have suffered
more or less from Impure Blood. About a
year ago I had a boil appear on my leg
below the knee, which was followed by
three more on my neck. I saw S. S. S.
advertised and decided to try it. After
taking three bottles all Boils disappeared
and I have not been troubled any since.

Newark, Ohio, May 23, 1903.
From childhood I lhad been bothered
with bad blood, skin eruptions and boils.
I bad boils ranging from five to twenty in
number each season. The burning ac
companying the eruption was terrible.
S. S. S. seemed to be just the medicine
needed in my case. It drove out all impu
rities and had blood, giving me jterma
uent relief from the skin eruption and
ooils. This has been ten years ago, and I
have never bad a return of the diseaae.

on his arrival in New York that he
would enter the annual six-day race

Walthour said he would again do
his training at Thunderbolt, where he
has worked previous to all of his great
races. He will probably come to Sa

month to prepare for the grind.
Walthour has not yet decided on
his partner in the great race. When
asked about taking Munro again he
said, "No, Benny is a good, game boy,
but I shall want more assistance than
he was alble to give in the last race.

Florida May Score and May Win.
With but one more practice possible,

to work with, new plays were sprung
on the team last night and much valu
able time consumed In trying to drill
the men into them, with the final re
sult that a change in mode of making
certain runs was finally abandoned and
the old style was gone back to.
The Savannah team will never be
able to attain the same ex
cellent team work as prevailed
last year by introducing anew
coach at every practice. The re
sult of this practice has been to con
fuse the men until a large number of
them confessed last night that they
had almost forgotten their signals.

play In the same position. This has
not been done in the Savannah team,
and the proud record which the Blue
and White has sustained for the last
four years may suffer in consequence.
Team Is Very Green.
With the first game of the season
but three days off the team is very
green. Landsberg, who will play one
end opposite to Smith, has had only
two practices, and as the modfe of
play has been changed some, and as
even the rules are changed, his work
may not be as effective as heretofore.
Left guard is yet unsatisfactorily
filled. Fennell knows little of the
game, and Cornwell prefers to play
at tackle, where he was tried last
night. Johnson, though possessed of
great speed and strength as a ground
gainer, seems to be unable to get In
to the plays. Hicks can be depended
on at right guard. Cornwell is showing
up wonderfully well at tackle.
So far Jimmy McTntire has shown
most ability at quarter and will no
doubt fill that position Saturday.
Shortridge has shown exceptional
ability, but has not entered into prac
tice with the vigor desired.
In the backfleld Sullivan is playing
better than ever. Artley, at fullback,
Is still a little slow and Doty, one of
the most promising men at leff half.
Is showing much improvement. Mitch

But this is the way the team looks

FIRED BY PERRY.
That Is the Suspicion Regarding
< r Works in Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 26.—A mysterious fire
at the works of the Chicago Car and
Locomotive Company’s plant at Hegee
wlch, 111., has become the subject of a
many-sided Investigation, with sensa
tional results. Corporation Counsel E.
L. Tolman of the city law department
to-day gave out a statement which
says:
“The evidence shows beyond any
doubt that the fire was of incendiary
origin. The testimony of the engineer
in charge of the building, together
with that of the former superintendent
of the company, amounted to a direct
charge that Isaac N. Perry, the presi
dent of the National Bank of North
America, had ordered the insurance,
then about SIOO,OOO, to be increased to
$200,000; that he had succeeded in ob
taining access to the shops alone and
unaccompanied upon a Sunday after
noon, and that within on hour there
after fire had broken out in four of
the five buildings and resulted In the
destruction of two of them."
Continuing, Mr. Tnlman’s statement
says: “Mr. Perry's attorney claimed
that Mr. Perry hud been the victim of
a conspiracy; that It being known that
he necessarily spent Biinday at this
plant, a fire was planned to take place
at a time when he should be present,
and all the circumstantial evidence
would connect him with Its origin."

GEORGIA LOST TO CAROLINA
ON A SAFETY PLAY, 2 TO 0
Not Until the Last of the Second Half Was the
Score Made.
Columbfa, S. C., Oct. 26.—1n a hard
fought game at the fair grounds this
afternoon, the South Carolina College
defeated the University of Georgia 2
to 0.
The score was made by Carolina In
the last three minutes of play In the
last half, after one of the most des
perate stands by Georgia in defense
of a goal probably seen on any grid
iron this fall, Georgia succeeding in
holding Carolina for downs within one
half yard of the goal line after Carolina
had had six trials to advance three
yards, which short distance only sepa
rated them from a touchdown, and the
first three consecutive times Georgia
being penalized for off-side play and
one half the distance to the goal line
being given Carolina on each penalty.
One half yard from the goal line
Georgia held for three downs and gain
ed possession of the ball. After a dis
cussion about the ball being moved
to equal distance on the other side
of the goal post to avoid a fence which
would have prevented Georgia having
sufficient room to kick out of danger,
'the ball 'was moved to the other side
and Georgia signalled and held for a
kick.
It was here that Carolina scored.

The ball, being thoroughly wet front
the soggy field as a result of ten
hours' rain, which let up only a few
minutes before the game began, was
pa.‘+sed back with difficulty and
reaching the fullback rather low, was
kicked by him and struck a Georgia
lineman, bounding back and being
fallen upon by the Georgia fullback
behind the goal line. A Carolina man
fell upon the full and a safety was
scored for Carolina.
Georgia kicked a place kick from
safety, and the remaining few min
utes passed In the alternation of the
ball in the neighborhood of where the
place kick was caught by Carolina.
The game was a stubbornly fought
one from the first whistle, each team
holding the other oft for downs re
peatedly or getting the ball on a kick
of the other team, but neither goal
being in imminent danger during the
first half or until the last few min
utes of the second half. There were
no stars, every man on each team
doing his part.
The long rain rather helped, the
sand field, but it proved a little too
loose In footing for fast formation
work.
