' y _— President Ebbets of Dodgers Depriving Brooklyn Fans of Chance of Seeing Former Semi-Pro Favorites in Action. that the profeasional base- ball season has come to an end, “f the fans who patronize semi- “Professional baseball are anxious to "Bet & look at local boys who have ‘made good in the big league, Jimmy | Ring, Chad See, Johnny Pnzmann, -Meitman, Sheridan and Dehncke are | some of the lads who have graduated from the gand lots of Brooklyn. Tt seems that Charley Ebbets, how- | ever, is the one who has the say _ whether or not these boys can play | with outside teams. A letter from , ‘W4 Van Every, manager of the Farm- MB, one of the leafling semi-profes- sional nines of Brooklyn, is in part: Mr. Wobets has stopped Wns- mann, Heitman and Sheridan from playing @ game or two with their old team at Glendale, and sent a letter to Chad See Waraing him against playing at Ivanhoe Park. See secured spe- clal permission from Garry Herr- mann to play with us and was in last Sunday's line-up. It certainly does not seem fair dealing on the part of the Brook- lyn magnate, particularly as he secured Sheridan from the Farm- ers on my recommendation, and 1 also advised him to sign up See last season. In return, Mr. Ebbets would deprive the Brook- lyn fans of the pleasure of seeing their returned heroes playing a few games with their old club, the club’ on which they made their start and reputation. It is beyond us why Charley Mibets should take the stand. The ball season, in so far Brooklyn Club js concerned, is pases, and what hapm these local ot camhot be seen by us. Peshaps if Mr.) Every or ahy other semi- salt undoustonly be arra ‘ could y be atipractorily. to both parties.

CAMBRIDGE, Masa, Oct. —It was & mighty tired lot of Harvard foothel players who straggied back to the locker building here last night after the meat vigorous practice of the early seasen. There was the usual scrimmage between the varsity and the scrubs, but before this the regular players and those whe are working for @ piace on the @rat team were turned loose againet each other and the fur certainly did fly. With the biggest equad of coaches that has yet been on the fleld standing close behind the line, every man was spurred to the lmit, and until the ‘rinceton game, at least, Harvard will have to play no more gruelling football in practice, NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 16—Her- bert Kempton seems to be aure of « place in the Yale backfield. His line plunging and end running stood out in the practice and it begins to look as if he may be used in the big games. He hits the line hard, picks his openings well and dodges cleverly; in addition he seems to be a hard man to tackle. PRINCETON, N.

Stan Keck at lett tackle and Rothschild at left guard played great defensive ‘ball all after- Noon, successfully smothering anything directed their way, Although Keck’s leg still troubles him, it 1s coming along in fine shape and Fitzpatrick expecta him to start the Rochester game on Sat- urday. ITHACA, N. Y¥., Oct. 16.—After the Cornell varsity sqiiad had worked for @ time behind closed gates the doors were thrown open and hundreds of under- graduates poured into the stadium and for an hour cheered the players. The exhibition was not altogether en- couraging, as the second team backs, particularly Cumningham, made sub- stantial gains through the varsity line, using Colgate formations, The Columbia football squad held tta first practice behind closed gatos yester- day afternoon. Although the field was still soggy and slow, it had little or no effect on the workout, which was re- ported to have been the fiercest of the season. RACING.

By Vincent Treanor. Maryland's Futurity, which will be run next fall for the first time at either Havre de Grace or Laurel or | Pimlico (it has not yet been decided |which) will surpass in value any |horse race ever run in the United States, It will be approximated as regards value only by the Grand Prix, the greatest of French races, which, when William K, Vanderbilt's North- east won in 1908, paid a matter of 76,000 to the winner, and when Sar- danapale won in 1914 paid nearly $72,000. The Maryland Jockey Club, Maryland State Fair and Harford Agricultural and Breeders’ Associa- tion will make up a purse of $60,000 for the Maryland Futurity, which might approximately be called the Walden Futurity, since the idea of it germinated in the brain of Robert J. Walden, proprietor of the Bowling Brook Stud, which is in Carroll Coun- ty, Md,, and is the oldest thorough- bred nursery in the Old Line State. And then th will be a starting fee of $1,000, There will never be under a dozen starters in a race that will have a value of $60,000 in added money. So it is certain that the value of this great two-year-old race will be greater than $70,000 annually. ‘The richest of the old Sheepshead Bay Futuritigs was Potomacs, and it paid no more than $68,000, But there will be a vast difference between the Muryland Futurity and the old Coney Island Jockey Club Futurity as re- gards the source of ity value, The Coney Island Jockey Club never added a greater sum than $15,000 in the Sheepshead Bay Futurity, The bulk of the purse has been made up from year to year by the subscrip- tions and forfeits of nominating breeders. There will be no subscrip- tions and forfeits in the Maryland Futurity, only the $1,000 starting fee to which reference has been made al- ready, The Maryland Futurity will be for entire colts and fillies, because it has ‘become a fixed policy in Maryland to discourage the wasteful practice of unsexing young thoroughbred stal- lions, which, when left entire, are capable of being put to use at the Government remount studs, siring half breds for the forces of national defense. A man will think more than twice before he disqualifies a well- bred young horse that may be a bit backward in development, from start- ing in a $70,000 to $75,000 race by altering him to promote quicker maturing.
