BROOKLYN, N. Y, September 16.-An-
other row marked the conclusion of To-
days game. 1t was a long drawn out game
fun OF poor pitching, ragged tielding, and
some sensational fielding. Brooklyn was
ahead when the seventh inning closed, and,
believing that another inning could not be
completed, Umpire Swartwood called the
game. He was surrounded by the Chicago
players and was knocked about d little. and

NAPOLIS AND WEST POINT TO
MEET ON THE GRIDIRON.
During the past few weeks, even
since, in fact, the n. C. A. has clearly
proved that it controlled the cycle rae
ing situation in the United States,
there has been a general resumption Of
interest in racing matters among BIZ
cycle clubs. Early in the season rid
ers and race promoting clubs were con-
fronted with two organizations, each
claiming o control the sport. ANA
teur and professional racing men took
sides, and discussions naturally occur
red.
Some clubs rather than declare them
selves held no races at all this season,
and as a result their members lost in
terest in the game. 1t is safe to assert
that the trouble is now about at an
end, though many are OF the opinion
that the L. A.. w. should give up trying
to control the sport and thus allow it
to recover from the setback the quarrel
has caused this season.
There have been blunders on both
sides, one of the greatest on the part
of the league being the fact that the
racing officials were allowed to heap all
sorts of abuse on their rivals, calling
them all sorts of names from mere
outlaws to thieves. The outlaws"
meanwhile went quietly along gaining
ground everywhere, and nov cam afford
to laugh at the discounted racing OIL
Gals of the L. A. W.
A noticeable change will be found by
a close inspection of the football sched-
ules arranged by the leading varsity
teams this year. 1t will be noted that
nearly all the big college teams play
only against other universities this fall,
and there is a general desire to avoid
games with athletic club teams, with
whom in former years they have al
ways played.
The reason for this is not hard to
find. There has been a great deal or
rivalry of late years between the lead
ing athletic clubs in regard to football
matters, and this has led to a mild form
of professionalism being allowed to
creep in.
The various universities are just now
fighting hard against the professional
evil, which a few years ago threatened
to wreck athletics at some OF the lead
ing institutions and consequently have
refused to play with the outside clubs.
Another result of the entry OF pro-
fessionals into the ranks of the clubs
has been that several of them have
abandoned supporting teams, notably
the Crescent A. C. of New York and the
Orange A. C. of Orange, N. j., which
used to put teams in the field which al
ways held the big varsity teams down
to low scores.
The introduction Of motor cycles as
pacemaking machines this season, and
more especially the holding Of the dam
gerous races between motor cycles
themselves, has awakened the promot-
ers to the fact that if they are to en-
courage these sports they must remodel

OF CLUBS.

There was W. a more exciting fin
ish in any base ball league, than the
tail end of the present Interstate sea
son. New Castle has been putting up
a magnificent article of ball, going after
the pennant with a n~ever-say-die spirit
when the task seemed almost hopeless.
1t was necessary for the plucky play
ers representing the Pennsylvania
town to win nearly every game played,
and thus far they have succeeded, with
the advantage of playing on the home
grounds. Less than two weeks ago
Toledo was in first place, and playing
championship ball, but the Mud Hens
have all along been rank cutters off
their W dunghill, and it was this fact
which inspired hope in the other pen
nant aspirants, inasmuch as most of the
games of Toledo were to be played
abroad. In the case of Toledo, the ex-
pected has happened. Stroebel's team
cannot finish lower than fourth, nor is
it likely that it will finish higher in
the race.
Fort Wayne stock was up when Jack
Glasscock visited Wheeling last week,
but after the Stogies swiped the would
bes all the other clubs took a chance,
and yesterday the Indiana club suffered
the humiliation of a w%hitewash at the
hands Of Dayton. One game separates
Toledo and Fort Wayne, and the fight
for third place promises to be very in
terestlng. The surprise of the season
was New Castles five consecutive vic
tories Ver Mansfield, which puts the
Yanegans in the lead this morning by
a very narrow margin. On Thursday
Mansfield forfeited the first game
through a kick on the umpire's decis-
ion, and a subsequent refusal to play.
New Castle won the second game, took
another Friday, and wound up the
series by capturing a double header
yesterday. There is joy among the
fans in New Castle. and down in
Wheeling every lover of the game is
admiring their pluck, and hoping the
season will end with the team in first
place.
Mansfield and New Castle each have
another series of games to play.
Youngstown goes to Mansfield to-mor-
row and Wheeling to New Castle.
The chances of the clubs are about
even. New Castle to-day looks like
the most probable pennant winners.

A suggestion has been made by Mr..
James E. Sullivan, secretary CT the A.
A. o., that that body should run of at
its annual meeting a series of junior
Championships as well as national
championships. His idea is that even
if a man be the champion at n event
he should be allowed to enter as a jun
ior in any other, and that an athlete
need not have won a junior champion
ship in any event to 5e eligible for the
nationals in that same event, The plan
is a good one, and will probably be ac-
cepted by the A. A. U. al its next
meeting, especially coming from such
a source. Mr.. Sullivan proposes that
both the junior and national champion
ships be run off in one day. If that
were done, it seems to me that the
games would have to be started around
daybreak to give men a chance to rest
between events, and then not be over
by twilight at that, I'm thinking. Give
that part of the proposition another
thought, Mr.. Sullivan.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

PROVIDENCE, R. I. September TO-
The grand circuit closed It Narragan-
sett Park to-day with the best attend
ance and weather conditions of the
week. The track was very fast. The
2:04 pace was a hot race, Anaconda be-
ing a strong favorite when the pools
opened. The favorite won the first two
heats. Frank Bogash then took the
next two, which caused the talent to
hedge. Anaconda won the fifth heat
and the race amid intense excitement,
thousands of dollars changing hands.
The third mile was the fastest of the
meet. James Hanley, owner of Prince
Albert, challenged the winner for a bet
of $4,000. Summary:

do away with a great deal OF the hard
