soon discovered the cause ofthis. The
old man had turned his saw upside

was working away with the back Of the

WEEKS BACK IN HIS PLACE.
Columbia Defeats Williams College
at the Polo Grounds.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Harold Weeks,
the star half back of the Columbia foot
bail team, resumed his place today, and
his individual playing had much to do
with the victory of the Blue and White
over the Williams College eleven at the
Polo Grounds. After a close match
Columbia won by 5 to 2, Weeks making
the only touchdown of the game.
Weeks had been under the faculty ban
for being behind in his studies, and he
worked off his conditions this morning.
Columbia, after having kept Williams on
the defensive in the first half, was in
turn kept on the defensive in the second.
The visiting collegians became more ag-
gressive in the second half, in which the
play was practically all in Columbia ter
ritory. The local teams goal was in
danger several times owing to the deter
mined attacks of the Williams backs.
The visitors were strong in the centre
of the line, but their ends, especially the
left, were vulnerable spots for Columbia
,Fhe latter's back field played excellent
football and the ends did valorous work.
The rest of the line was not so reliable.

A MAMMOTH RACE OF HoMERs.
Five Hundred Birds to Participate
in the HnEerstown Fly.

The success of last years fly, when the
birds flew at a rate exceeding q mile a
minute. has caused great interest to be
manifested in the coming race from Ha-
gerstown on October 16 under the auspices
of the Hagerstown Fair authorities.
The Hagerstown Fair inaugurated races
of this kind last year, birds from several
of the large cities taking part, and found
the exhibition of these aerial messengers
TO excite great attention to the visitors
of the fair, who had often read of their
wonderful flights, but who had never wit
messed a liberation. A special day was
selected for this attraction, the birds In
huge aviaries having been on exhibition
the day previous where the admiration
bestowed upon them exceeded that of any
other exhibit. Since the introduction of
this sport by the Hagerstown Fair other
fairs have added such races to their pro-
grammes, notably among which We're the
flights from the Pan-American Exposition
on opening day. Presidents Day and
other large days, where in the immense
Stadium the liberationS were witnessed by
thousands of people.
To engage birds in races of this kind
helps the fancy more than is at first real-
lied. While it is rather late for fancters
to train birds, when it is taken into con-
sideration that the people get better ac-
quainted with the excellent qualities of

district. the largest flying club in the
United States, is a handsome silver cup
which becomes the property of the win
ner. As the race is open TO any fancier
in the city, anyone desiring to take part
should send his entry to w. f. Di.mer.

SYMPATHY FOR REIFF.
English Sportsmen Generally Do Not
Endorse Lester's Treatment,

LONDON, Oct 5.-The treatment of the
American jockey, Lester Reiff, at the
hands of the stewards of the Jockey Club
is not endorsed by the most sensible
sportsmen in England. Apart from all
conJectures and suspicious, these men
hold, In the words of the veteran John
Corbett, that the local stewards have no
right to shift responsibility to the stew
ards headquarters when the accusation
can be borne out only by ocular evidence
as it must be, when the charge is that of
pulling horse.
In Reiff's case the Manchester stew
ards, who saw the race and had the power
to control their course were afraid to
handle it summarily, but referred it to
the Newmarket authorities, who did not
see the incident. Moreover, Lord MARQUIS
Beresford, who is the chief accuser, GER
tainly does not strengthen his case
against Lester Rieff.
The latter is wrong in ascribing hiS
treatment to international spite II would
probably be nearer the mark to regard
II as an evidence of irritation of the ste
wards over the difficulties presented by
absentee ownership. That class of own
ers, American, British, and Australian,
are about of equal numbers and they
make the business of tracing bets almost
belief that the big bookmakers sometimes
influence the results
1t should be remembered that Sloane
and Rei1f are not the only Jock keys who
have suffered at the hands of the ste
wards for, with the exception of the
Cannon family, there are very few promi-
nent English riders who have not at one
time or another been warned or sus-
pended. 1t is certain the stewards Will
not revoke the present decision, despite
the wide sympathy with Lester Reiff, who
appears to be the first to suffer by the
involved system of betting which has
horses.

]. c. Davidson, for the third time in
as many years, won the tennis champion
ship Of the District of Columbia at the
Bachelors Courts yesterday afternoon,

the last two sets of the match.
Davidson took the first set handily. 6-I
In the second Geohegan ran him some
what closer and the result was deuce

ly and made a fast finish.
Davidson having already twice captured
the championship trophy, a handsome cup
offered 10y the Bachelor Club, is now en-
titled to its permanent possession. Geo
hogan, who ranks as one of the best rack
eters in Washington, will receive an ap-
propriate prize.
The attendance was quite large, and the
interest in the sport was intense. In ad-

fumbled, and Black, right end on Bates,
got the bail and with one man for inter
ference carried the ball over.
But Harvard's playing was not so poor
if all the many fumbies could be left
out of the reck oning; it was fumbling
that gave Bates her touchdown, and it

score of % to g. Pennsylvania was scored

kind of team play.
Pennsylvania went into the game with
snap and tandem plays were worked well.
State scored by carrying the ball half the
length of the field, throwing PennsylYa-

State scored in the first half just after
Pennsylvania had scored a touchdown.
While her team lasted State played fast
