Ciarke i ing refused to go barn-storming with the pj. rate* next week • under the management of the Pittsburg club. He says he win quit the team Sunday. Clarke has not signed for next year, and It la understood he leaves Pittsburg for good. The trouble between Dreyfuss and Clarke arose because the Pirates wero beat en out for second place In the pennant race. Dreyfusa recently said that some of bis men had too much money to j,i nr bosehall, and that he would compel rh«*ni to play exhlbltlou games until October 15, when their contracts expire for the #,*.1! son. Clarke objected to this from tile ■tart. NO BIG GAMES IN THE EAST New York, Oct. 6.—Most of the leading colleges In the East hare football compe titions scheduled for today, but, ns j s customary In the early games of the sen- son, the big teams meet weaker opponents.

This afternoon will find Conch Ilclsinan's squad tar better prepared for a good exhibi tion than It was Inst Haturdny. Tho past live days, In spite of the wretched weather, have been spent In perfecting new plays and drilling the sqttnd In old ones. In con sequence there will Im* u change lu tho ap pearance of things this afternoon. It was hoped that Brown, the great punter, would In* lu the team today. This man can outkick nnylKsly In tho bualuesa, and he would have helped the Tech team very ma* terlall.v. But Brown tinh some examina tions to take and cannot play until these are out of the wny. Tho prospects are bright, however, for a good coutest. ruder the new rules, football Is proving a more Interesting game to the nverage spectator thou It was lu the past. Because of tho changes lu the code It is Impossible now to dally with mass plays, and In con sequence the more spectacular end runs are used.

MAY YET RUN MATCH RACE TURF ENTHU8IAST8 ARE 8TILL TALKING OF ROSEBEN-LADY AMELIA MATCH. New York, Oct. 6.—The chilly ex perience of an October race meeting within a Htonc hop of the cool gray ocean Burf at Brlgnton Beach Is just now being relieved by the warmth o* argument over the sprinting ability of Roseben and Lady Amelia. , These two flyers were matched to race In a sweepstake for 16,000 side bets and a purse of 92,600, put up by tho Brooklyn Jockey Club over ut Gravesend, but the event failed to come off, owing to the track turning muddy within an hour or so of post call, E. R. Thomas, owner of Lady Amelia, with drawing hi* home, by virtue of the original condition, of the match, be cause she could not run on a soft cushion. Then came the shift here to Brighton Beach, where the partisans of the two comps are at It every day, hip an-1 spur. Undoubtedly Roseben, holder of the three-quarter-mile record of 1:11 3-6, with 14? pounds up, and Lady Amelia, winner of 62 out of 6k stnrts, are the greatest sprinters of modern times, and that the matter of supremacy between them, will not be definitely settled Is something the sporting world will always regret. One thing sure, race traCk "bugs" will never cease championing one or the other of the brilliant pair. HALF A MILLION PEOPLE TURN OUT TO SEE RACE FOR VANDERBILT CUP 1. Tallinn, 6:15. 2.

New York, Oct. 6.—Amid the cheera of thousands in the gray mist of a gloomy morning, LcBlon, In tho Thomas car—No. 1-In tbo great Vanderbilt eup race—dashed across the starting lino promptly nt 6:15. It wan estimated nt the time tho race started that fully 600,000 persons and thou sands of private automobiles lined the 29.7-mlIe course. LeBlon was followed by Heath, lu the 120-horsepower Pnnhnrd, aud the othern started nt Intervals of one minute until the seventeen bad crossed the Hue. As the big racing automobiles got Into position for Uie start, a heavy fog cov- red the course. It was so thick' that It nluioat obscured tho drivers’ lu their ma chines from the view of the grand stand. While It was not actually raining, low. thick clouds threatened a downpour. The grand-stand crowds were shivering In the damp air of dawn. Those who had boxes In the grand-stand began to fill their seats with their friends at 4 o'clock. Within sn hour, erery sent was token by the automobile enthusiasts. A great double lnno of men, women and even children filled either side of the long, slnuotjs lane, wrapping Itself nround the little section of Nassau county for the 29.7 miles of the cup coune. The Inspectors of the course bad great difficulty In gettlug the crowds to move back beyond the Unnger point along the road of the course. At 5:30 n. m., William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., referee, went nround tbo course lu bis big touring enr, accom panied by members of the racing board, and warned the people back. As Van derbilt passed tbo huge crowds, he shout ed: "Everybody must keep back of the roads. If you do not, the race will uot be started." .Finally a number of Inspectors were sent scurrying nronud the course, nnd wher ever the crowd was encroaching on tho roads they drove tho people back. A few mluutes before 6 o'clock, the starting time, the crowds were driven back from the course, nnd nllwns rendy for the start. “The crowds continued to give much trouble. When Tracy pulled up at the grand-stand, he recorded n claim of a foul because of the people fllllug the roads. It was announced thnt the crowds were pre venting the making of good time. Mr. Vanderbilt again made the threat that If the people did not dear the course, be would stop the race. This was sent to all parts of the crowds. After the trou ble with his tires, LeBlon, of tho Ameri can team, finally finished his first Inp In 67:33 3-5. From tho very start of the race, Jihe for eigners set . the-pace, covering* the coarse nt breakueck speed, Jenntzy, tho German, In his 120-borsepowcr Mercedes car, cut out a tulle a minute clip from the very out set, nnd flung Into the lead at the end of the first Inp, only to lose It to Wng- ner, the Frenchman lu the 100-horsepuwer Darrncq, at the end of the second lap. Wagner held hts lead In the third Inp at well. The terrific pace was even faster than In tho elimination race of two weeks ago. Jonatxy covered tho first circuit of the course In 30:02, while Wagner covered the second Inp In 28:171-6, nnd the third only two seconds slower. This was nt better than 60 miles an hour. Lands, the Italian, amid a great hurst of cheers, was the first to pass the grand-stand on the second lap. He hnd covered the 69.62 miles In the remarkable time of 60:01. Jdintsy was right after him, seventeen socouds Inter; then WOguer and Duray, the-Frenchmen, drove past the stand, their elapsed time being such thnt It placed them first nnd second, respectively, In the race, wltb Lancia aud Jenatxy next. After the second lap, the rain stopped falling, aud there was more comfort ou the track. BOTH MAJOR LEAGUES END SEASON SUNDAY League Standings Chibs. Chicago . , . New York . Pittsburg . .

The last games of the year are due then, and then come, the flrand final "21." It’s all off’for the year. There Is nothing more doing In league baeeball. The only thing which Is stirring Is the champion which begins next week nnd lasts until one teaht or the other has won four out of seven games. The aeaaon has been one of the most successful, If not the very most suc cessful, In the history of baseball. Every club In the National League has broken better than even—a thing which has never happened'before. The Chicago National, have made a mint of money. The rest of them have kept the wolf a fair distance from the door. In the American. League a team or two hae lost, but on the whole the sea son has been a good one In the younger organisation. The race In the National has not months, but the teams have played good baseball and that has helped. It has been Chicago’s race almost from the start, but there have been some nice contests for the minor positions. In the American league It started out with an elght-eldded race. Grad ually, one after another, the teams were knocked out. But It was only a time to three and until the closing week of the long season, Chicago, New York nnd Cleveland had a chance. And now It Is all over but the cham pionships. A few teams will do a bit of barn-storming, but practically the end of league baseball Is here. Let It rest In peace. It needs It, for It has been a long, hard season. For a few months baseball Is "Not dead hut sleeping.” G.

University of Georgia, Athens, Go., Oct. 6. —Every afternoon the fifty or sixty candi dates for tho football team are out on llerty field practicing punting, falling on tho ball nnd tackling the "dummy" which has been rigged up ou one end of the gridiron. Toward the latter part of the afternoon the 'varsity lines up ngnlnst the second team for a few minutes *f bard scrimmage. Charlie Cox, the star of the 1904 eleveu.

Tho men are showing up remarkably well, nnd while of course It la much too early In the season for predictions. It Is safe to say that the Davidson team will run up against a pretty tough proposition when she lines up agalust Georgia In Athena October 13.' Several very good men have reported on the field thla week for practice who for va rious reasons were not able to do so at the opening of college.
