ON THE GRIDIRON College Teams Preparing for the Foot Ball Season. CORNELL DEFEATS SYRACUSE Senators Beaten by the Cincinnati Reds. ns CURRENT SPORTING ——— NEWS Harvard's foot ball practice on Soldiers’ Field, Cambridge, Mass., was quickened by brisk foot ball air yesterday, and marked progress was made. In spite of Head ch Forbos’ avowal that the policy this season 1s to be the same as that of last, it is clear that at the present time, at least, the training is much harder. In the afternoon practice of an hour and a half the men were divided into three squads, and considerable progress was made with the elemental formations and piays by the eclevens. For the first time the first eleven kicked. Tomorrow theré is likely to be a practice game. Foot ball practice at Princeton yesterday started with a vim and push which hereto- have not characterized it. Thirty men were on the field. A large number of promising freshmen came out for the fi time, and the team of the afternoon w as follows: Arthur Poe, 1900, right end; Miles, 1902, right tackle; Edwards, 1900, right guard; Booth, 1900, center; post graduate, left guard; Geehr, ‘99, left tackle; Palmer, post graduate, left end; Rosengarten, ‘9, quarter ba 7 @ La- thrope, 1900, right half; Beiter, seminary, f back, and “Crit” Ay 1900, full candidates for the Yale foot ball team were given their first hard practice yesterday afternoon.

At the last meeting of the Maryland !egis- lature a bill was passed allowing pool sell- ing and book making on race tracks during October, as follow: “Provided, however, that nothing in this act shall render it unlawful, during the rronth of October of each year for any per- son to make a pool or book, or to bet with- in the grounds cf any agricultural associa- tion upon any horse race, which shall be actually held or run within the said grounds, race course or driving park, upon which said person shall so make a pool or a book or shall so bet upon the same day on which said race shall be held.” The gentlemen behind the bill were the owners of the charier of the Patuxent Ag- ricultural and Driving Association, whose course ts located close to Annapolis Jun tion, midway between Washington and Baltimore and about an equal Cistance from Annapolis, thus giving them three cities, with an aggregate population of one million to draw from. The arnouncement is made that, begin- ning Wednesday, October 5, there will be inaugurated at Tatuxent a thirty-day meeting, utier the auspices of the Patux- ent Agricultural and Driving Assoctation. The purses are to be $ rd $100, The meeting is to be conducted by local people, Gen, Frank A, Bond officiating in the judge's stand, Arrangements have been made with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to run special trains from Washington and Baltimore at reduced rates during the meeting. A force of men were put io work yesterday on the track. A five-eighths chute is to be added and all the grades leveled, the betting ring enlarged and many other improvements made, not the least of which wil be a ccmfortable station and a board walk to the grand stand. There are accommodations for about 400 horses, and already these are beginning to fill up, many of those that have been run- ning at the county fairs ng secured stables. ‘The headquarters of the association are at the Hotel Regent in this city.

HAY HOME AGAIN! Cc Arrived at New York Last Night on the Teutonic. He Says the English Are Very Friendly, but He Knows of No Alliance. Col. John Hay, who has just been recalled from the court of St. James to accept the portfolio of state, arriyed at New York last night on the Teugonig He granted an in- terview to a reporter of the New York Tribune, who say$: Gol. Hay appeared to be in much more“fobifet health than when he left this count®y to take up his official duties in England.” Also he was exceeding- ly animated in spirits} presumably ut the prospect of returiing ‘nce more to his na- tive country; bué!withal Col. Hay, as is customary with Kim,twas studiously cau- tious in answering’ infuiries put to him by newspaper representatives. He refused ab- solutely to discuss from any standpoint questions of policy; matters relating to the Philippines and tht work of the peace com- missioners, or in’¥fac% anything bordering upon the field of dlpidmacy or oficial con- troversy. a@d Upon the growing tetidency to friendliness between this country and England, how- ever, he was not so reticent. “I believe that the relations between the two countries,’ he satd, “are extremely satisfactory, and are more comfortabie and friendly than ever before. It is quite true that there is a strong desire on the part of the English people to arrive et a better understanding with us, and I think that desire should be fostered. As to any formal alliance, that is another matter. I know nothing of such a project, and if anything vf the sort is In contemplation I am in ignorance of it. Political Affairs in England. Commenting upon English political af- fairs, Col. Hay said that, while some of the recent bye-elections had resulted in favor of the lberais, yet the brilliant victory of Sir Herbert Kitchener had strengthened the government and had tended to obliterate the discontent which had previously bcen expressed regarding Lord Salisbury’s ap- parently weak foreign policy. Col. Hay added that while tuere had been some talk h with the ['rench in the je, there was not muc in England of any of a possible ley of the N prehension felt result Reverting for a moment to the sen! which Engiand felt coward this during the strife with Spain, Col. § “The attitude which Englaud adoy throughout was absolutely correct, because it was strictly neutral, but at the same time there was no disguisiag tne great friend- ship and sympathy which the English felt toward the United States. y WAS asked what Mr. Chamberlain a foraught ago virtually acmitted, if it were true Uhat any, France and Mtussia haa made ntations to Great Britain to bring pressure to bear upon this country to force her to cease hostilities against Spain, but the only reply he would make was that “nothing of the sort was ever communi- cated to me. There was a great deal of surprise,” Col. Hay replied, im answer to another inquiry, “felt not only i ngland, but throughout Europe at the phenomenai victories obtained by our navy. Amazed at American Victories at Sea. “Everybody expected Spain to put up a much better fight than she did, and the easy way she was conquered on the sea amazed the people on the other side of the Atlantic. Whether or not the successcs of our navy will lead to the building of war- ships for foreign countries in the United States I am not prepared to say. Russia has given us a contract, but I rather fancy that foreign governments will be disin- clined to give contracis outside of their own countries for anything they are able to do themselves. After Col. Hay had refused to hint even what his policy would be toward the Phil- ippines, he was asked: “Will you pursue a strong policy against Turkey with a view to the enforcement of the claims of this country for damages sustainel by the de- ‘truction of American property in Turkey?” “I will do all I can in that direction,” was Col. Hay’s answer. The peace proposition of the Czar of Rus- sia, Col. Hay said, was looked upon in Eng- land as being made in earnest and in good faith, and would undoubtedly be consid- ered with the gravity which the suggestion deserved. Finally the ex-ambassador said that his sfay in “England had been marked with the most pleasant associations, and the cordiality of all classes of Euglishmen had been extended toward him. Col. Hay was driven from the White Star line pier to the Holland House, where he will stay until he receives instructions from Washington. He anticipated that a com- munication from the President might be awaiting him at the hotel, and in that case he said he would probably go to Wasbing- ton today. Seedeeseesenete ealondondendesteedecieceeetentontententontestende GRAVE SITUATION IN PARIS Conflict Between Civil and Military Authori- ties Grows Acute. Late Phase of Picquart Case In- er ses the Irritation—Talk of a Dictatorship. PARIS, September 22.--The situation here is generally admitted to be grave by both press and people. Ihe ¢ontlict b tween the civil and military authorities is becoming acute. The sudden and unex- pected action of General Zurlinden, the military governor of Paris, in prosecuting Colonel Picquart on the charge of forgery and using forged documenis assumes a grave aspect on account of th circum- stances attending this inte-vention of the military authorities in a civil court.
