In the first game played by this organization it was defeated by a score of 9 to 6, the victors being a team organized by a Knights of Columbus secretary inan adjoining camp. Sherrod Smith, former Brooklyn National star, pitched for the Blois team. He did good work, but nobody of the Blois team could hold him Asa | 1.

STRANGLER LEWIS MAKES RAPID PROGRESS IN ARMY Probably one of the quickest pro motions on record in the army has been that of Ed (Strangler) Lewis, now a top sergeant at Camp Grand. Lewis gained the promotion thanks to a display of courage the first day he entered the camp. The famous wrest- ler was lined up with hundreds Dfl other drafiees baggage in hand, when two husky uniformed men started making fun of the odd looking re- cruits * Giving Lewis the once over, one of them remarked, “Pipe the fat bartender.” while the other laughingly said “He sure looks like a prize pork- er. lewis dropped his grip and, tlking over to the first of the camp Jesters, picked him up bodily and bounced his head on the ground. leav-! ing him there, while he took a head- lock on the other and threw him ten feet While the two privates were pulling themselves together the officer in charge stepped up to the gathering and lauded Lewis for his action, say- ing that the spirit I/ showed was the kind the army was looking for, and hoped that the rest of the line-up were gifted with the same brand of courage. In forty-eight hours from the time Lewis entered the camp he was made 4 corporal. and in two weeks was promoted to sergeant, and later to top :orzoan! SNOWY BAKER SAYS BOXING WILL COME BACK Australian boxers to the number of 875 men are at the front or otherwise engaged in doing their best to put an end to the reign of the House of Ho- henzollern in Germany, according to Snowy Baker, the Australian fight promoter. 1 Baker says that the boxing game practically is dead in the Antipodes, but he looks for a great revival after the war, as “the soldiers have taken strongly to boxing, and there will be many a good fighter developed from the ranks among those who return Baker says that he does not expect to do any more fight promoting at least not until the war is won. In the meantime he has become interested in the moving-picture ‘business, both as an actor and a producer. Dartmouth to Play Two Games. Hanover, N.

KNOUSE, Agent -New York, Oct. 14.—A series of in- tercollegiate football games to be playéd for the tenefit of the War Charities Fund will be the outstand- ing feature of the sport next month. The contests will be staged in ail sec- tions of the country and will be held with the sanction .of the army and navy departments, The decision to advocate the play ing of such games, it became known today, was reached at a recent con- fcrence of government and football authorities. The details and arrdnge= ments have been left 10 a1 committee of former football players compris- ing Herbert Pratt, Amherst; William Langford, Trinity, and ' Park Davis and William Roper, Princeton. A meeting of the committee will be held if thie ecity soon. when com- plete plans for the series will be ar- ranged. In a general way and sub- ject to such changes as may be nec- essary, it is proposgd to bring to- gether such rival college student ar- my training corps teams as will de- velop keen interest among both play- ers and spectators. <College football stadiums will be used for the play wherever available and one or more important inter-sectional games are not unlikely. Under the latest decision of the au- thorities, some of the classic football contests of the last decade may be revived, While the colleges to be brought together have mnot vet been named, the Army-Navy,¢ Yale-Har- vard and similar gridiron features of normal seasons may be staged, in view of the purpose to whicn the gate receipts will be devoted. HOW ABOUT COBB AFTER YEAR’'S REST Should baseball resume in 1920—it is hardly probable that club owners| under any conditions, will depart from their plan to let the sport rest for a year—Ty Cobb, unless he changes his mind about making his 1918 retire- | stantly at it, and did not have to pay ment one for all time, would have a grand chance to show whether or not there can be an exception to the one axiom. “They never come back.” They said last spring not that he could not come back, but that he was going back. But, playing his thirteenth full season in the majors, and nearing his 32d birthday, he made the greatest sprint in his career. | outdistanced his field, and finished with a better mark than his rand average for his 13 years of .300 bat- ting. With the full season to go there is no doubt that he would have batted 400, and that ‘his work would have | J » o B S rivaled that of his best year, Only -one man, Chapman, had him beaten on runs scored,- and he has been in 17 mare games.. Sisler alone led him in steals, and Cobb was mak- ing no special effort for this honor, realizing, with a team going nowhere, and with himself past the stage where a bad leg lends readily to treatment, the wisdom of cutting out extreme chance taking, unless a game is at stake, So, even though Cobb is nearly 32, it is a debateable question if he ma not be regarded as a champion ball | player retiring in his prime..and af- fering a good subject for the come- back considerationJf in 1918 he could do most of the things that he did when he was 25, in a year when he gave an all-time all-round perform- ance, with extreme speed essential to most of his comeback, then he cer- tainly must be classed as one not having gone over the ridge. His 1918 work was really the more remarkable. In 1911 he had wound up his 40-straight streak at an earlier date than he started to make his climb for the .300 mark this year. He was a sick man when he ‘began the climb. He worked on nerve. To a eertain extent he has always done this. And in the army, work that he is taking up the same nervous strain will con- tinue. The gas service is onre in which the fighting is of mental strain more than of manual. t Cobb himself is something of a fatalist. He doubts that he will come back—but in a sense other than the one being discussed. Perhaps. he fig-8 ures that he will be unable to restrain himself from his old chance- taking, and that the battle field will not be so kind to him as the ball field has been. If he returns, goes into baseball and again can star he will upset prece- dents. It isn't done. The latest notable illustration was Frank Baker, who idled through 1915 He played some ball, but not con- the same attention to condition as he would were he in the league. Before he quit Mack, Baker had Yeen on this circuit six years. He was_only one point outside .300 his first season, and missed being well above that figure only once in the next five years. His grand average for the six seasons was .313. But he was no terror to pitchers when he was re- stored to the circuit, hitting only .269 in 1916, and having a grand average of .284 from the time of his return until now. Baker is a batsman of the | Crawford type. Sam had two above -300 years, and one .299 after he was FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET WAS BROAD. New York, ©ct. 14—Discounting the outcome of momentous events over the double holiday, the stock mar- ket today proceeded on the theory that Germany's latest overtures had ma- terially hastened the cessation of the war. This belief was heightenea in the course. of the session when it became known that Turkey had submitted an cfficial note through neutral sources, announcing its adherence to Wash- ington's progress as a ba for peace negotiations. Virtually every branch of the list strengfhened, though very dispropor-| tionatdly, in the active advance. Trad- ing attained the greatest bieadth and volume of many weeks, but ‘“peace shares at all times dominated the market, notably oils and shippings. Rails as & groun were strong almost to” buoyancy, Pacifics as usual lead- ing. Grangers kept pace with Atchi- son recording an extreme rise of three points. Coalers and numerous secondary rails especially Western and southern shares were lifted one to_two points. U. S, Steel rose from its low of 103 1-8 to 109 3-4, closing virtually at its best with a net gain of two points. Related industrials and equipments registered zains of one to two points and specialties of the peace class, such as new Harvestd shares, Gen- cral Eiectric, Tobaccos. leathers, cop- pers and motors held much of shares. Railroad bonds of the speculative division were strong and Liberty is- sues were slightly higher, tut foreign flotations were little changed. Total par value, aggregated $9,200,- "01d U. S. bonds were unchanged on STOCKS. Sales 00 Ad Rumely pr 800 Alaska Gold M ... 00 Alaska _Jurieau Allis Chaimers Allis Chal pr Am Agr C ...

Gocher Now that the selling race idea for two and three-year-old trotters has been scrapped, by owners refusing to | name their horses in same, the time has arrived for a few suggestions in| connection with colt racing, and es pecially three-year-olds, to show how more use can be made of them at race meetings, and at the same time arrange the conditions of the events| so. that three or four top-liners can- not get all of the premiu or at least the big end of them Each season nearly all of the futuri as well as the colt events that close the year in which they are ntested roll into the b owners. This is caused by a colt being eligible to all of them except when barred by a restriction as a Hartford where the Acorn Purse is for the 2:20 class, a condition that bars practically all of the two-year- old stake winn L three, which are liberally enteraqd, all of the hogors o to them. As this prove raster : all of the this has become an annual \on(l'tmn many owners hesitate before naming all of their mares in futurities, and: when they do, many of those who keep their engagements, are com- pelled, after two or three meetings, to either send their youngsters home, or start them against aged horse! A change can be made by giving ree-year-old events at day meeting, at Col- umbus and L« gton being the only ones that run over that number, and there is no doubt but what they would prove as brilliant contests as the early closing class races. When the winners are trotting in 5 or 2:06 if a competitor 1s shy a secoud or even half a second in speed, or if he does not get away well, he is soon riding on the expense account, while on the other hand if the two or three leaders were in ‘the barn, that same youngster would be heralded as a wonder. This f1as been demonstrated several times this year by Selka. She has shown her ability to trot in 5 but has as yet failed to win a heat. Still ¢with Chestnut Peter, Hollyrood Bob and David Guy out of the way, this filly would be the talk of the country, on account of her per- fect racing manners and the speed which she showed jn her races at North Randall ‘and Columbus. As three-year-olds of this character are becoming more numerous each season, the managers of race meet- ings should adjust their programmes, so that they would be given an earn- ing capacity commensurate with their speed and in events where they would not meet all of what might be called the free for allers of the three-year- old division. This can be accomplish- ed by giving several evenis and plac- ing them on the program so that two starts can be made during the week he had made two its, was/| ds of three or fourj and when two or| Baked Beans Norwich, Conn. i deemed advisable. The following | are seven suggestions for three- \edl~ old events: i The Derby for three-year-old trot- ters. The Eagle for three-year-old colts | or gelding: The Oaks for three-year-old fillies. The Debutante for three-yea:-olds. | The Acorn for 2:20 three-year-olds. The Spinaway for three-year-old maidens, Free for all for three-year-old trot- { ters. The Derby is what is now known as a futurity and would be an open event for three-year-olds regardless of sex or winrace, the dam being named | before they and the' Oaks to fillies, all of being named as yearlings hulantc and the Acorn could 51 e mprrbte e sou oo |Selistod b otEad of the , that ngure | heing used as an illustration. The | Spinaw would also be a late closer the winner wotild be ineligible to jevents of that character closing on or tafter the date of a winning perform- {ance.The free for all would also be a !late closer. In fact there was one on the eard at Poughkeepsie this year. In the event of two or three races of this kind being given by each| { member of the larger circuits, trainers i would be justified in carrying a num- ber of colts with them just as they do aged horses at present, while it would also result in more three-year- olds being trained and raced. orne {of them would also be started in class !races just as Murphy did David Gu ‘\\'hr‘n he sampled him for the Matron take at Philadelphia by winning the 2:19 trot at North Randall.in 2:08%. Also at the Poughkeepsie meeting a trio of three-year-alds took the word in the trot, McDonald winning it with- Mary Dewey Watts in 210% while ‘Murphy also won a heat in 2:08% with Petrex and Cox was sec- ond in the first heat In 2:10% with Truxton. The day has arrived when a good three-year-old is almost at his top form and not very apt to show much improvemen in his fourth or fifth vear. Neither is there very much reason to expect it as when a colt | wins between 2:03 and 2:05 he has ilanded in the free for -all just as Miss Bertha Dillon did when she won the Matron Stake at Atlanta last year in :03. Also as this flow of extreme speed will continue from year to year on account of the competition in the futurities the public in the near future will have the pleasure of seeing a series of free for all trots with large fields programmed regularly by all of the progressive associations. Next year there is apt to be a 2:05 class all the way down the line and if the leaders in the colt races keep on win- ning heats near that figure a few of them are vary apt to be ineligible to it before the flags are lawered at Atlanta in October. - Miss Bertha Dillon is only the leader of a flood of free for all material to take the place of St. Frisco and Mabel Trask, the flying pair which has entertained the public so successfully for three seo- sons, as well as Lu Princeton who has a chance to prove the noblest Roman of them all Venezue! looking forward to great profits from the production of castor oil, for which the war has en- ormously 'increased the demand as a' GLUETT.
