GRAND CIRCUIT TRoTTING.
Heavy Track Prevents Cresceus Get.
ting Near Record.

Cresceus, George H. Ketcham's champion
trotter, made attempt to lower the
worlds record at the opening Of the grand
circuit meeting in Cincinnati yesterday, but
failed on account of a bad track. He cover
ed the mile in EOS, which Is the fastest ever
hung out on the Oakley course, where the
races were held.
The condition of the track prevented fast
time being made, but the sport was excit-
ing and the betting good. The best contest
of the day was the 2 10 trot, which was won
by Charley Mac In each of the five
heats the field crossed the wire in a close
bunch and the winner had little to spare.
Before CresceuS was sent his exhibition
mile he was brought on the track alongside
of Dan Patch. the king Of PAGERS, and the
two went half mile together amid Wild
cheering from the spectator This is the
first time that the champion PAGER ard
champion trotter have ever appeared to-
2ether on a racetrack in an eXh bition and
the crowd appreciated the treat
In his exhibition yesterday Cresceus was
paced by two running horses. He was
driven by his owner, George H. Ketcha m
of Toledo. After the exhibition Mr. Ketch-
am Said
I am sorry that the track was not fit for
record-breaking performance Cresceus
was never in better condition than he is
right now. The track was so soft that it
gave way under the horses feet and he
could not go along a his usual gait
The first quarter was made by CreSceus in
0.32A, the half in 1.041a the three-qua: tiers
In 13GA, and the mile in 2.0S fiat.

RACING AT GRAVESEND.
Not a Favorite in Front at the Big
Track Yesterday.

Not a single favorite won at Gravesend
yesterday, and at least three of them were
beaten under circumstances that were far
from credtable to certain riders or owners
or trainers. There was a big attendance,
the first sign of fair weather after so long
an interval serving to bring out racegoers
by thousands, but they were poorly re-
warded.
The most unpleasant occurrence of the
day was the defeat of Durazzo, the strong
favorite for the third race Durazzo should
have been easy winner on form and was
evidently much the best horse in the race
But he was beaten, for all that, and this is
the way Shaw brought 1t about. He got his
mount off all but last when the barrier
went up and then deliberately took him
into pocket on the rail, from which he
had to back out and come around his field
on the outside. There was not a soul in
the grandstand who could not see what
was going to happen before 1t did happen.
Apparently Shaw was the only person on
the track who could not see that he was

GEORGETOWN FOOT BALLISTs.
Several Players Injured, but Confident
of Success Against Middies.

The Georgetown foot ball team will go to
Annapolis tomorrow morning. where 1t will
meet the eleven from the Naval Academy
on the gridron in what will probably be
one of the hardest games Of the season for
the defenders Of the blue and gray. The
Georgetown team this year is strong, and
In addition to the old men who are on It,
several players have been added who have
given evidence of unusual ability in the
game The practice during the past week
has been exceptionally strong and the foot
ball squad Is larger than ever before. There
are several good men capable Of putting up
good game In all Of the positions, and
when one player Is injured or unable to
play there Is plenty Of good material to fill
the vacancy thus occasioned
Stevenson, the new quarterback on the
local eleven, was injured about the Shout
ders last evening during practice and he
may not be able to play in the game to-
morrow. Captain Riley had his arm hurt
early in the week, and he will not be in
the lineup against the Middies. Both these
men are valuable players, and their absence
| may weaken the team tomorrow. Still the
Georgetown boys confident that they

the local team and the Middies neither sida
was able to score The locals expect to do
better this year because of the preliminary
game of last Saturday In the past George
town has gone into the game with Annapo-
lis without any previous work save that
which was secured in practice on the local
campus
1t is expected that large number of
hooters for the blue and gray will ac-

twenty-one games were played in the after

instances at $50 that even in ordinary
times coal retails In the tenement houses
at over $12 ton. The present price Is
practically prohibitive, even IL the supply
were not short. That is to say, a woman
could not afford to buy 1t to do washing or
for any other purpose that would be sub
jected to commercial test.
The first substitute which naturally Sug-
gests itself Is soft coal. This is now retail
ing at s. a ton. or at s4.25 half ton. One
dealer who has been selling bituminous coal
freely for domestic purposes for over a
months insists that his customers have had
no special trouble with flues or CRATES.
The use of gas is another possibility. The
companies declare that they are prepared
may be demanded Their use does not In
volve any cash deposit. For cooking and
washing a stove with two burners can be
bought for $3.50, with three burners for 81
If provided with an oven and four burners
the price is 81.
The use Of oil stoves among the poor Is
very extensive and the danger from them
is probably much less than Is ordinarily
supposed. Such accidents as have occurred
have ordinarily been due to gross careless
ness. There are thousands of them in con-
slant use. For cooking and similar pur-
poses they can be purchased at S2fo TO
So so with one burner, or with two burners
for 1918 A heater will cost $3.50 or $4.5O.
Oil is selling at present at retail at dlHer-
ent prices in various parts or the city, In
Harlem for s cents gallon, down town on
Brooklyn for II cents.
Another substitute which has not received
so much attention in the press as it has in
practice in at least certain districts Is wood.
Many Italian families in the down town dis
tricts never burn any other fuel. In Will
Harrisburg the Polish employees Of the sugar
refineries have been getting their fuel free
from the dumps for the last six weeks.
Neither wood, nor oil, nor gas, nor soft
coal is complete substitute for anthracite.
1t is very great hardship for those who
are compelled to work hard all day to be
obliged to experiment with some form of
fuel to which they are not accustomed and
to which their stoves are not adapted. I'm

DOWN THE ALLEYS,
Interesting Play in the Bank Clerks
and Departmental Leagues.

There were lively times in bowling circles
last night, four teams. representing the
Bank Clerks and the Departmental League,
contesting for supremacy on the Palace al
leys. In the f1rst-named organization the
West End National bowlers won three
straight games from the National Capital
lads. The bowling of these two teams was
not of high quality, but great deal of in
terest was aroused by the closeness of the
scores. Anything like a squirt by the Ma
tonal Capital team would have landed
any one of the three games but the work
is new to these men and sensational play
will come later on. D. Walker of the Ma
tional Capital team had the honor of max
ing the top score of the evening
