Y., Aug. 14— It was blue Monday here yesterday for both James Butler's good mare Capra and John Sanford’s good two- year-old La Russe were beaten, and they were two that seemed to stand out as sure winners. It was Major Thomas Clay McDow- ell, from Kentucky, who upset the calculations in both of these events, when Queen Errant was an easy win- ner over Capra, while Plum had ab- solutely no trouble in taking down the purse in the event that had been conceded to La Russe. Incidentally both favorites finished third. The race’in which Capra performed was the mile of the Hoosick Falls Handicap, and while she was away well she met with some interference, but not enough to bring about her defeat. Queen Errant practically forced all the pace and at the end she had plenty to spare, while Ima Frank, from,k the Beverwyck Stable, after being knocked about badly in the 1 | running, was the other to beat the|army doctors and finally accepted or Butler mare. La Russe was weakly handled by Crump, who had the mount, and third was the best she could do in any part of the running, while Eddie Mar- tin rushed Plum ihto a long lead in the early stages and made every post a winning one beating the fast clos- ing Rose d’Or a neck, with La Russe a full eight lengths further back. The only excuse that could be offered for the Sanford filly was the weak ride, for she did not meet with interfer- ence and was off well enough. The steeplechase of the afternoon went to Archale from the stable of Morton L. Schwartz, and he was well handled by Med Henderson. “To score he beat home The Brook, racing under the silks of Mrs. T. J. Dono- hue, while New Haven was a close third. In this race T. P. Horne's imported colt Saadl was started through field for first time, and he showed a good flight of speed to the fifth jump, where he refused and was pulled up by Brady. John ganford started the day well when Meteorite was an easy winner over the six-furlong distance. Sam McMeekin, with the aid of spurs, left the post in the fifth race after hav- ing been left in his two previous starts, and he was a handy winner. Then, at the end of the program, Loftus was guilty of going asleep in the stretch on Jusqu' au Bout, the Joseph Widener colt, and permitting Clifford A. Cochran’s Nepperhan, a @ half hours each day. The school day is divided into five hours for mental stnudy, bne hour for physical instruc- tion and half an hour for recess. 40 to 1 shot, to beat him home. T E AL Buy an Indiana truck—advt. FIRST GROUP GOES T0 CAMP SEFT. 5 Whole Dral Army to Be in Train- ing in October Washington, Aug. 14.—The entire 687,000 men composing the first in- crement of the army draft forces will be under training early in October. Under orders the first 30 per cent of the quota of each district will begin entraining for cantonments September 5, the next 30 per cent. September 15, another 30 per cent September 80, and the remaining 10 per cent will be mobilized as soon after that date as possible. The plan to assemble the new forces in instalments distributes the task of furnishing supplies and equipment through September. It will also pre- vent serious shortages in any camp and will give the new officers from the | training camps time to familiarize themselves With their duties gradually before responsibility far a great body of men falls on them. The order means that about 12,000 men will reach each of the 16 cantan- ments soon after September 5. They will first be examined physically by rejected.! This will take some time and the men will have to be furnished with temporary quarters and rationed while awaiting examinations. If the full quota were assembled at one time great confusion would result. Presumably the first increment will have been organized into skeleton companies, battalions or regiments be- fore the second arrives. The new- comers can be quickly absorbed by a going concern in that case, and the third lot can be taken into the war machinery with even less disturbance when it reports fifteen days later. In farming communities local boards now will arrange the lists of those to flll the first increment with local crop conditions in mind. Har- vesting is in process in many sections. Drafted men engaged in that work and who otherwise would go with the first third of the district quota will be passed over to the second or third, as may be necessary. Arrangements have been perfected for the transportation of the men through the Council of National De- fense and the railroads war board. The movement on the various dates is expected to be executed without delay and with as little Interference as possible with normal railway traffic. | TO SEND BASTBALL TO ‘OUR TRGOPS W Wherever Americans go baseball follows..

DARING SWINDLER SETS LIVELY PACE Leaps Over Arcaway and Dives Through Window New York, Aug. 14.—Wall Street in the vicinity of Hanover street was the scene of enough excitement yesterday to make a thrilling five reeler when a man who gave the name of Marcus Gonzales attempted to escape from secret service agents after he had been identified as a swindler by a teller in the banking offices of Brown Bros. & Co. at 59 Wall street. ‘When faced by the teller the al- leged swindler fought himself free from the secret service agents and leaped from a second story window, jumping 12 feet across a 40 foot deep areaway and landing on the roof of an abutment from a building in Hanover street. Secret service agents brushed aside the groups of stenographers and clerks who had left their desks to see what the trouble was and shot at him while he was splicing the air across the areaway. So many heads.then’poked out:of adjoining office building windows that the secret service men were afrald to fire a second shot. But the first re- port had attracted mearly everybody in the neighborhood and young wom- en emploves in offices all about were panicky. Rumors spread that men were trying to blow up the sub-treas- ury and other institutions. Marcus Gonzales saw the gathering crowds and ‘dashed head first through | { the fugitive « a sprinter of ‘recognized ability and a "DOUBLE BILL — a glass window of an office looking out on the roof of the building ex- tension.

The prisoner then was taken to the office of Capt. John J. Henry, head of the local branch of the secret service, in the custom house. In his pocket was found a loaded automatic pistol. He had in his possession, ac- cording to Capt. Henry, ‘eighteen counterfeit notes of the Bank France, each of the denomination of 1,000 francs. They were the remain- der, said Capt. Henry, of about 50,- 000 francs in counterfeit notes which the prisoner is alleged to have at- tempted to pass at various exchange banks in New York since last Thurs- day. Hides Behind Assumed Name. The prisoner, in admitting the name he gave was fictitious, explained that he was a Spaniard of a fine fam- ily which he could not disgrace. To reveal his identity, he snid, would "e too great a shock to his wife. He soft collar, black tie and shoes. is 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs pounds and is about 29 years old. Capt. Henry said his men had been - searching for Gonzales since Brown Bros. reported last Thursday that he had'passed two counterfeit French notes there. All foreign money ex- change banks jn the city were noti- fied and Secret Service Agents Ru- bano and Manasse were stationed at Brown Bros, to await his probable return. Gonzales appeared first yesterday afternoon at the office of Lionello Pe- rera & Co. at 69 Wall street. He pre- sented two bogus French notes, ac- cording to Capt. Henry. Acting on its warning, the firm .detained him while the treasury department's office in the Custom House was notified. Agents Rubano and Manasse hastened to the office in an automobile and arrested him. He was handcuffed and taken to Brown Bros. to be iden- tified. It was when the manacles were removed and the tellers came in to Mok at him that the prisoner attempted to escape. Bankers who saw the French notes said a most capable counterfeiter had made them. Capt. Henry said that not fewer than thirty of them have He 155 the last week. The prisoner is being held in the Greenwich street police station on a charge of having counterfeit money in his possession.

From Captain Dillon, who, last year, was the all around champion of this city, to Maher, the well known sprinter and weight man, to Murphy, the fast all-round event man, to Kiniry, the former High school star, there is no room for improvement on such a well balanced team. The ath- letic association of St. Joseph’s pre- sents an equally dazzling array of stars. Frencis Kiernan, who is a fast man in the sprints, is the captain of the team. His brother Vincent is also good all-round man. T. J. Faulkner excels in all events and it is expected that he will cop several first places. “Chief” Myers, an old Exeter star, is looked upon by the St. Joseph sup- porters to win both of the jump events and to bolster their tatal score.

They are Herbert Thormahelon, young pitche Bill Lamar, 6 fielder, and Wilson Fewster, flelder. Thaormahelon is considered | one of the best pitchers in the Inter- national league, and only yestezday shut out the Montreal team with sev- en hits. Joe Kelley, scout of the Yankees, has been watching Thorma- helon for the last several weeks and has been highly impressed by’ his work on the mound. Joe is posit that he will make good in the Amer=: ican league. Lamar is a fair batter. an exgep-. tionally fast runner and a good JUdg: of fly balls. - He is one of the most] popular players on the Baltimore, club, and the fans of that city claim that he can run faster than Frits Maisel of the Yankees.
