IN 92 STROKES—SAM WIL*
LIAMS IS SECOND.
By J. S. A. MACDONALD.
New York, Nov. 8.—Pursuing their usual
. policy of sacrificing a gnat to frighten an
elephant, the Itooblah stewards of the
•Jockey Club ineted out a dose of unusual
• jiteverlty to Bob Rogers, owner of Garnish,
last Tuesday. Rogers was ruled off the
/for/ altogether with his trainer. John WU-
• woo. In the race where Itadtke Is alleged
,to have pulled Tommy Waddell, Garnish
I won In n gallop with certain Interests lu
the betting ring playing Rogers’ horse as If
It were all over but the formal Interview
.with the caahlers after the finish. In
round words, the stewards concluded the
'race was ti clever nnd comprehensive “shoo
In” for Garnish. To make Garnish partial*
larly fit for the Job, Kogera Is charged with
having “doped" his horse. Hence, under
the rules, Rogers and his outfit earned a
life expulsion from all the race track! un
der the Jurisdiction of the Jockey Club.
Among the smart “insiders,” Radtko,
thinking to propitiate the goda In hla favor,
Is understood to have * “feaaed up” to the
{Jockey Club. Thia sort of state’s evidence
iwill probably save the Jockey. But what
the thinking men of the turf want to
(know In connection with thla uusavoryi In
cident Is as to the reason why the stewards
pissed over a hundred or so more flagrant
'instances of turf trickery without so much
a word ot warning or the leant Inquiry
ns to the circumstances of existing condi
tions. only to wait to the eleventh hour
of the. season and then to level their guus
upon a poor nnd comparatively uuknown
owner from the West. Home critics say
August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey
jriub, who makea at least $2,000,000 every
year ont of bis New York race truck hold
ings. Is much disturbed by the scandal talk
In the newspapers thla past summer con
cerning the coups and the smart deals of
rthe bl* plungers.
Afraid of Niw Laws.
The np-state rural lata heard about It and
• growing sentiment against racing com
menced to thraeteu the stability of the
• metropolitan turf and consequently Bel
mont's rich yielding race track enterprises.
• A atop to this grafting must he made,” the
chairman of the Jockey Club la reported to
rlflce In order to frighten the big evil doers.
At Horn toga Inst August Fred Johnson, non
of a wealthy real estate operator of the
Bronx, New York, started Aeronaut, ruling
nt 8 to 6, and with the public down, book,
line and sinker. Perrlne gave the choice
such n Jerk that he nnd the owner would
have been ruled off before Aeronaut had
reached the stewards' Inclosure to weigh
in hud the scene been laid at the New Or
leans fair grounds with Frank J. Ilryau In
the stand. From that day to this nothing
has been heard of the affair.
The exhibition Jockey "Willie” Rbaw
gave with (electioneer In the Flatbush
•takes, Hnd again the mysterious form dis
played by Fountalnbleu under Jockey
"Jack” Martin In the same event, are today
public scandaln. More than nue club house
patron runs hla horses Jn»t to nult his
betting Inclinations nnd regardless of the
public Interests or the ethics of the sport.
Hundreds of horses are "doped” every
week, and the most barefaced “ahooln” are
common occurrences.
8ome Mu ok-Raking.
The form displayed by the horse Angler,
owned by "Mattie Corbett, a big club
house operator. Is another sore spot In the
hide of the average regular while In the
Jumping races, Buttner was openly accused
In tho public press of having manipulated
Ki Vuchilo in a race where the rank and
Hie bettors lost thousands and thousands
of dollars to this horse in a race at
Brighton Beach lost July. Not n single
member of (he Natlonnt Hunt and Steeple
chase Association wna lu the ate wards'
stand nt the time. Hence the frnmora got
away with a disgraceful deni. Considering
all thin, nnd more, too, the drastic treat
ment of Rogers is-somewhat Inconsistent,
though the crime deserves the penalty Im
posed. It appears the stewards at sev
eral meetings about New York aro mainly
gentlemen whb serve In a "complimentary”
fashion. As a matter of fact, with the
exception of Chris J. Fitzgerald. Frank J.
Unitn and Clarence McDowell, there Is not
a single practical nnd export racing man
In the stewards' stand from one season
end to another. Dnlll August Ralmout
decides to adopt the Western Idea of em
ploying the most competent, thorough and
anlmpeachahle officials available, coat what
This photograph shows how successfully the Princeton .Varsity eleven works its forward pa6s. It was taken during a contest between the Varsity
and scrub teams. At the extreme left the arm of E. Dillon, the Varsity quarterback, is seen as he is making tho pass. Tho ball left his hand and went
to the left end, who waa going down the ends of the field with no pursuers. The brilliant work of the Princeton line is well shown in the photo
graph. The Tiger forward* have to misled their opponents that the lattor, expecting the full to go down this end, have left the other side unprotected.
Several Changes Possible in Southern League Circuit
Homebody has sprung this “ehango-ln-tUe-
Southern-League-cIroult" atory about one
month and'a half too soon.
It la not considered the beat form lu
sporting elrelea to use that atory before
the league meeting la over.
What In the world nre bnacbnll writers
golug to do for material during the "dead
ly season" between January 1 and Febru
ary 16, If all the old reliable storlra nre
used up while football Is an available apace
filler?
However, the atory Is going the rounds.
Even the Montgomery papers have taken
notice of It, and It would not l>e surprising
10 Shreveport fell for it before long.
If looks a bit, though, as If there might
really !»• a change In tho present South
ern League circuit.
When a fight wna on to got Shreve
port and Little Rock out of the circuit,
they were both no strong for sticking that
It old not look as though dynamite could
blow them out of the league.
When the Atlanta team waa In Little
Rock In August, the writer talked the mat
ter over with the hackers of tho dnh, nnd
not a man of them would admit that there
was any chance that Little Rock would not
be represented lu the Southern League next
year.
But now times have changed. Howl
after howl la golug up from the Arkauaas
backers of the worst financial proposition
In the league, nnd It looks as though tho
whole bunch was ready to quit.
Where Mike Cornea In.
Maybe the flue Eyetslinn hand bf one
M. J. “Phlnn" -might be detected nt tho
bottom of thla somewhere. This exponent
of radiant geniality Is on the scene. What
he le doing on the scene nobody has said,
but It Is Inferred that he la "laying low."
This la n ehroulc occupation with Mike
during the chilly periods.
Alao maybe ho Is starting a bear move
ment against the stock of the Little Rock
club. It has been Insinuated- that Mike
would like n franchise. Just why anybody
should like one In Little Rock la hard for
*ome of us to understand. But then, there
le no accounting tor tee tee.
If the present loud series of yella pushes
down the price of the stock far enough.
Mike may emerge from underneath n rapid
buying movement with the majority of
stock In his possession.
But Just now tbe talk isThat Chattanooga
la going,to buy a franchise, nnd it la stated
with all positlvenesa that both Little Rock
and Montgomery are willing to sell.
That Johnny Dobbs and Hammy Strang
(Nlcklln) want a Southern League franchise
for Chattauooga has long been known,
Sammy Strang w’rote President Kavauaugh
to that effect last August, and he has not
changed h>a mind.
Hlnco Little Rock wnnla to sell and Chat
tanooga wants to buy, there ought to be
a "dicker."
But if the Little Rock franchise should
go to Chattanoogn, what of Shreveport?
Think of the thing geographically.
With Little Rook nnd Shreveport both
In tbe league. It Is sometimes possible for
u team which makes the trip to the “far
west" to break nearly even. But with only
oue town west of the Mississippi river In
the league, every trip across the “big
brook" would be a dead loss—and a big loss
at that.
One thing is practically certain—when
Little Rook goes oat of the league, Shreve
port goes, too.
Montgomery Going?
So about the euly chance for a change
seems to be for Chattnuooga to buy the'
Montgomery franchise. This would not
shorten the Jumps much, but it might
help some.
It is unfortunate that there ran not be
a new' baseball deal through the Sontb. If
all the towns in the league could only go
Iwick In the pack, be thoroughly mixed, and
then let a new drawing take place It
would help nn'nwful lot. As it Is, the three
prominent baseball organizations of the
South—I* “
-the Southern,
organiznt
, South
Atlantic aud
... ’gC ... ...
of them have cities which are too small.
An arrangement which would give the
Southern League all the “big towns’’ would
be the best for nil. Even the smaller
leagues would lie benefited by losing the
towns which nre so large that they set a
pace Which *' u> nfhni-n i'lln nnt fnllnw
Any way, „
there may be some change*
think about between the present time and
the annual Southern League meetiug
lu spite of the liberal handicapping of th*
committee In charge, one of the “low hand!
cop men," W. J. Tllson, was the wluner of
the Saturday golf handicap over the f:„ s ,
Luke course.
Mr. Tllson made the round In 92 stroke,,
n phenomenally good score under lb- r / f ’
cumstsnees. The fair green was in excel
lent condition, but it Is hard for those who
played to talk of the alleged putting green*
aud still ejlmlnntc profanity. They were
ao near the “worat ever" that they could
go to the ultimate limit without anybody
noticing the difference. How anybody could
negotiate them In less than four puts each
the writer does not understand—as hi*
score would seem to indicate.
Sam Williams, with n handicap of ;•>.
took second prize with a gross score of l®
Messrs. Bro/lea, Angler and F. W. stoue
tied for third place.
Twenty-four players atarted In the tourna-
ment and the affair was a decided sueem
The prizes were a handsome caddy bng, H
golf jacket and a choice collection of golf
balls.
-he scoring throughout was good, espc
dally considering the condition of the put-
ting greens. Next to Mr. Tilson’s 92 grow
came W. P. IIIU, who negotiated the round
In 96 strokes. All the other scores were
over 100, though Jjowry Arnold, MUton liar'
gan, Clarence Augler, Dr. Holland, Dr.
Langston, F. \V. htone and I*. Thornton
Marye were but little above that figure.

No Truth in Report That
Tulane Will Quit S. I. A. A.
It Is the custom every year among the paper* of the country to write stories of
tho major league players who have gone back, to tbe minora. It wasn't on tho
regular schedule of aumutl stories, but that was through an oversight. The Boston
Journal seems to have lieen tho first In the field this year, and the story from that
paper, which is uuusually—though not enUrelp-accurafe, appears below:
A few days ago the report went the
'rounds that the Tulane university of New
Orleans waa going to leave the Southern
i Intercollegiate Athletic Association nt the
end of tbe present football season. It
now transpires that this rumor Is not cor
rect. and that Tulane Is going to stick with
ibe organization which has done so much
Toward giving the South pure athletics.
Hero la what Will it. Hamilton haa to
may about It In The New Orleans Item:
"Hontlment at Tulane university on tbe
ncore of withdrawing from the Houtbera
Intercollegiate Athletic Association upitcars
to be divided to such an extent that the
declaration ot the onea that favor seers*
it. The various Imputations of unfair dis
crimination by the offlcera of the Bouthern
Intercollegiate Athletic Association against
Tulane I repudiated vigorously. Every fa
vor that I have asked of the Southern In
tercollegiate Athletic Association, ns chair
man of the nthlftlc committee, has t»cen
granted In full; every appeal that I have
made to the executive committee has been
fully sustained; and so I stated at the
meeting.
“ ‘The students who hnd stirred up the
talk about withdrawing felt aggrieved that
certain rules of the Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic Association, notably the one touch
ing professional baseball nnd tho one bar
ring tueu who have represented
sion have got the whole university lutn i Ptfe from participating In tbe athletic
,trouble. One factlou, claiming high-handed I contests of another college within one year
ilnjuatlce at the hands of the Houthern I—that these worked n hardship against Ttt-
| Intercollegiate Athletic Association, has
come oat unequivocally for secession, nnd
and cJbl-beaded students. Is In favor of re
maining In the fold.
“Th# atory printed in some of the new#-
papers receutly to the effect that Tulane
lias decided to resign from the Intercolle
giate body after this season Is now said
to have been premature. A number of the
professors of Tulane. Including Walter Mil
ler, chairman of the faculty committee on
(athletics, say now that the university Is
ufet thinking of withdrawing from the
{.Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Associa
tion, but has decided to remain In the rauks
I for a year or more at any rate. Professor
Miller haa contributed n long letter to the
newspapers explaining the true situation.
It Is admitted that a number of tbe
iattldenta want to withdraw from the Inter-
aaaot'iation, but they nre said
to not represent the great volume of senti
ment in tbe big school, and what they
think Is not likely to govern the action of
the college’# committee on athletics. The
opposition of these students to the Houth
ern Intercollegiate Athletic Association la
said to have arisen from the election from
ih# ranks of Joubert nnd Ivena, base-1
ball players, last year. Joubert nnd Ivcus,
two of the best athletes nt the university,
were ruled out of the Houthern Intercolle
giate Athletic Association, It Is anbl. be
cause they played professional baseball nt
Centerville. Mias.
Profeaaor Miller denies emphatically that
be urged secession from the Houthern In
tercollegiate Athletic Association. He aaysl
lie made n strong speech In favor of atay •
lag In the ranks, nnd gives bis reason*
for urging the association to stand pat u»j
follows:
“ *1 believe firmly In tin* principles for
which the association stand*. Ami Tulane,

Each succeeding year sees , ball players

a Mecca for these old-time stars. For a

Thoinaston, Ga., Nov. 8.—In a fast,
clean, snappy game here Monday after
noon R. E. Lee defeated Locust Grove
to 0. In the first half, on a for
ward pass. Walker threw Locust
Grove's quarter over for a safety,
counting 2 points In Lee's favor.
Outweighed by 7 pounds to the man.
the game put up by Lee was a truly
wonderful performance.
Two diminutive quarterbacks played
a star role—Hightower, for Lee, and
Dreher, for Locust Grove.
R. E. Lee worked the forward pass
on four occasions, netting good gains.
Locust Grove probably lost the ganu
on forward passes, which miscarried
In every Instance save one.
In King. R. E. Lee has a tackle who
would make a star on any college teum
In the South.
Captain Stewart and Captain Bell
performed In grand style.
Dreher, quarterback for Locust
Grove, Is a craokerjack. He uses good
head work, dodges like an Indian and
runs like a rabbit.
In the second half, by line plunges of
Stewart, King, Crawford and Lewis,
assisted by a forward pass and a fum
bled punt, R. E. Lee carried the bull
over for a touchdown. Crawford made
the touchdown: Captain Stewart kicked
the goal.
The result of the game was a great
surprise. The game was practically
conoededi to Locust Grove.
If some of these northern division
K sp teams had sand enough to play
e, we might give (hem a surprise.
Professor Moore, of Locust Grove,
refereed; Anderson, of Lee, umpired,
and Dr. Booth kept time.
