Cera. 1h) we Te Pree Pettis Om (Tee Pow Tort Rewning Wort) OHN MORAW has been soaked OM a44itional one thousand 4ol- for bis famous “repudia- ton.” Mo Goudt John thinks thie a horeh @entence, and one that wae impored by the league authorities merely to throw @ sop to the offended baseball writers, And perhaps he isn't wrong. John MoGraw ts a hot headed port of @ duck, even among baseball man agers, He says things, and some. times about the next day he cools Gown and wishes he hadn't. He has an unhappy knack of getting into trouble—not always through his own fault. The facts in the famous re- Dudiation case seem to be wbout as follows: McGraw made a few remarks of « sisgling character regarding John K Tener and various other Interesting subjects, A baseball writer or two, hovering in the offing, proposed to Write up an interview with Jawn, “Go as far as you like,” says Jawn, Deing indifferent at that moment as to how he was quoted, and hoping that the B. B. writers would say something he couldn't think of just then. the Interview was presented to Jawn for his approval, and he Just said he supposed it was all right, and let !t go at that. Then came the row, and the stiff-legged hop on MoGraw, and the repudiation. There ‘was an investigation, and it waa ad- * mitted that McGraw hadn't said what was quoted, but that he had sald, by heck, something equally interesting. And anyhow, he had given the writ- ers permission to say he had said things and to use the old quotation marks at will, So where did he come in to repudiate anything? McGraw seems to have been fined $1,500 and suspended for sixteen days, not for what he is said to have said about Gov, Tenor, and all that sort of thing, but for using poor judgment in authorizing a doctored “interview.” Next time he won't be so willing to oblige his “friends.” HERS will be another big auto- mobile race at Sheepshead Bay Sept. 22. Auto racing hasn't made much of a hit In the vicinity of New York since the Sheepshead Bay Speedway was built, The trouble has been that New York- ers have too many attractions to go to, Auto racing is a great sport in Indianapolis and other rural sections where there is no competition. But here in the big town there are troop parades, Hippodrome shows, a thou- sand theatres, field days, big league baseball of both leagues, motor boat races, flying exhibitions, horse races, polo games, tennis and golf matche: and scores of other things with which to pass an interesting after- noon. However, automobile racing ms to have come to stay. The last big Tace took in over $70,000 at the gate. M habit of fighting two or three times a week, He ts making mopey while the chance lasts.

One was a leading figure in all amateur ath- letics, a great traveller and a well known philanthropist. The other was @ noted follower of boxing, friend of many great boxers and frequently called upon to act take holder in boxing championships. Evart Jansen Wendell, whose death im Paris has been reported, was the first American college athlete run @ hundrea yards in “even time’—ten seconds, In his day that was con- sidered an unbeatable record, He made it when he was a student at Harvard, After leaving college Mr, Wendel! always took an interest in amateur athletics, He went to Bu- Tope with some of the Olympic teams and was always to be seen as an of- ficial at‘ a championship meeting in this coyntry. Wealthy, he spent much of his time in philanthropic work, and there are thousands of men in New York who, as boys, owed their first chance for advancement to Evart Jansen Wen- dell. #Bob” Vernon was stake holder at the Jeffries-Johnson fight in Reno, holding the largest purse ever fought for in the ring.

FoR NeW PARTS -+° Imported Colt, Developed by Old School Trainer, Swept All Before Him at Saratoga. By Vincent Treanor. UNBRIAR js the two-year-old champion of the year. There ts no use looking any further among the juveniles for his superior. This imported son of the great Eng- Ush siro, Sundridge, has done every- thing that has been asked of him. Developed by Henry McDaniel, a trainer of the old school, he has swept everything before him during the Saratoga meeting. He won five of the most important stakes there and fin- ished fourth in the sixth, the United States Hotel Stakes, when, ridden by Troxler, he was plainly short. All told, Sunbriar has started nine times and has been out of the money but once. Twice he has been second, and once third. Without counting the second and third moneys, Sunbriay has won $48,865, Bought as a yearling for $6,000, he certainly has proved a prof- itable investment. Being imported, Sunbriar is ineligible for the Futurity. Had the produce of this dam been nominated this classic would be at his mercy. In yesterday's Hopeful, Sunbriar beat the best feld that ever went to the post under the conditions, Here was a heavy track, the worst possible Going, still eighteen horses, the very cream of the younger division, trotted to the barrier, the owner of each and every one of them paying $200, in ad- dition to earlier fees, to start. As i rule many eligibles dodge the issue in going such as prevailed yesterday. Only two of them did, but to make up for these declinations three others added. Horsemen with good two- year-olds, you know, don't get a chance every day to shoot at a $30,000 purse, In beating his opponents Sunbriar showed himself to ve all horse, de- spite his supposed ringbones. He won because he is ‘eat thoroughbred. If he wasn't he would bave been beaten. The racing charts will probably say the start of the race was good. It good—for all but Sunbriar. When the barrier lifted, away the field went almost on equal terms, but behind this straight moving line of variegated colors on the jockeys, the green and yellow of Knapp on Sunbriar was distinctly behind and alone, but mov- ing. Knapp had just a moment be- fore pul, Sunbriar out of the per- fect alignment at the post, and as Cassidy pushed the button webbing went up Knapp w lengths back The thought of Sunbriar being left sent a chill down the spines of his backers for an instant, but Knapp hunched his mount away after the field. Before @ sixteenth of a mile had been covered Knapp had shot Sunbriar through his field miracu- lously to fourth place, ana the back ers of the McDanilels colt felt very much at ease again. Once in a con- tending position, Knapp took the colt in hand behind ‘Top Coat, Happy Go Lucky and American Eagle. Papp was running easily a length back of Sunbriar. At the head of the stretch the race was practically over. Knapp moved past the three in front of him as if they were tied and then came on, When Sunbriar was well under way to victory in the stretch the backers winner everything stage. Sunbriar's Ho passed Nanks al- most before Knapp knew it, Then the veteran resorted to the whip. One or two cracks were enough, Knapp put his whip down, Sunbriar moved away a bit and Papp got as near to the | English bred colt as he ever will get Jagain, Nothing else gained an nich on Sunbriar, He won with plenty to spare after running the race of a champion, | Sycamore, @ grand looking colt, |acrambied in third.

It has been the alm of the Arm: Athletic Fund editors to firet equip h, now known as| the One Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry, because the famous Irish | unit will be the first New York regi- ment to leave this country for France. Col. Charles Hine, the new regimental commander, ts a firm be- Hever in athletic training for sol- |diers, and it would be difficult to find | any one in the ranks who isn't a keen | devotee of some sport activity. Inj) ene company alone there are 185| boxers of no mean ability. While the | regiment is particulariy keen for sports, {t has practically been with- out the necessary equipment. This will be completely changed, however, When the reat contribution from the rmy Athletic Fund rea net week. poe come The announcement that proceeds f the Army Athletic Fund will be 0 speedily applied for practical use and for such a popular regiment as the old Sixty-ninth should be very | #atistying to every one who has con- tributed to the project. No favorit- ism was shown in the selection of the Sixty-ninth as the first unit to receive supplies purchased by fund. It was simply a matter of ex- pediency, . Pershing has advised that every regiment be furnished with athletic facilities before leaving here. As the former Sixty-ninth will be the first home regiment to sail, {t was only natural that {t should be the first to receive the essenial baseballs, | footballs, boxing gloves, &c. If patriotic citizens will do their | bit for the fund every New York regiment will be equipped with its allotment of sport materials at the Southern training camps. There are nearly 42,000 in the former New York National Guard, to say nothing of the| thousands who soon will be learning the rudiments of war in the con- script cantonments. It is the apinion of Regular Army officers that a sys- tem of intensified sports will be ab- solutely necessary at the new canton- ments in order to malutain the spirits of the draft recruits, While the fund requires thousands of dollars to properly furnish the various units with athletic goods, the number of volunteers is increasing every day. It 18 only a matter of days when nearly overy line of sport will be bending its energies so that the fund's total will be adequate for all requirements. Many athletic clubs are arranging events in one form or other and the fund should be a big gainer, yet there are still many or- ganizations that could be of tre- mendous assistance, Big league baseball ts doing {ts bit. Through the generosity of, President Harry Hempstead of the Giants and President Charles Ebbets of the Brooklyn Club the Giants and Dodg- ers will play at the Polo Grounds on Sept. 10 and devote the receipts to the fund, President Hempstead tried| valorously to stage a Sunday game, but an unwieldly schedule prevented an arrangement of thts sort. And {t must not be forgotten that| the Army Athletic Fund Show at the Hippodrome on Sunday evening, Sept 16, will be the greatest entertainment of {ts kind ever attempted in this town, The Ist of stars will cover the theatrical world from one end to the other and then some, Weber and | Fields, for instance, think so much lof the fund's purpose that they are going to unite for this Hippodrome | |show and amuse the audience with| |tholr famous drollery. And Albert Spalding, the famous American vio- linist, he too will do his bit, which promises to be a great deal. All prominent theatrical managers are | now combining to make the show a knockout, The full programme will be announced shortly, Those desiring to help should send subscriptions to Army Athletic Fund Editor SPORTING.

Cicotte wiggles his ulna bone in an illegal manner.

Not being annoyed by having to hold hi hat on with one hand, Cicotte is able to devote his entire attention to his pitching. This is the cause of bis success this season.
