5000 BY THE STEWARDS
Fight Against Vosburgh,
However, Will Continue.
INSULTS THE HANDICAPPED
Calls Him a Fool and Says His Horses
Have Been Badly Handicapped By
That Official.

L. V. Bell. the wealthy tGrfman who
made a verbal assault on Handicapped
Vosburgh on November 2 at the Aque-
duct race track. has been fined $500 by
the Jockey Club stewards for his breach
of discipline. The fine viii be paid.
but Mr. Bell will demand a hearing
from the stewards and an investigation
of his charges that the official handi-
capper has been unfair and partial in
the assignment OF weights for his
horses
The trouble between Vosburgh and Bell
occurred in the clubhouse on the day
named. Bell. smarting under real or
fancied wrongs IN regard to the weights
placed on his horses all summer by
Vosburgh, met the latter, and in Ian
guage more forcible than polite called
him fool. and said that his unjust
handicapping was responsible for much
of the defeat of his horses during the
season and the direct cause of suffering
and lameness among his thoroughbreds
The next day Vosburgh preferred
charges of verbal assault against Bell
with the Jockey Club.
Official Ruling.
The official notice of the ruling against
Bell is:

ALGERNON DAINGERFIELD,
Assistant Secretary
Mr.. Bell was not at the Jamaica track
yesterday. A friend of his stated that
he was in Chicago on business and
would not be at home until today. This
man made the following statement on
behalf of the millionaire horseman. He
said:
Bell Will Force Fight.
Mr.. Bell knew on Saturday last that
nc would be fined 800 by the Jockey
Club for his trouble with Vosburgh. On
that day ne was approached by an infiu-
entail member of the Jockey Club and
told that he would only be fined 800 If
he would allow the matter to drop. Mr..
Bell replied that If the fine was imposed
he would pay it, but that he did not
propose TO allow the case TO end. He
said that he believed that his horses
had been unjustly treated in the matter
Of weights by Nosburgh and ne pro-
posed TO have a hearing on those
charges before the stewards. If he
could not have the case investigated he
such inaction on the part Of the turf
authorities Under no circumstances
would he desist in his efforts in that di-
rection.

Did Good Work.

Mr.. Robinson decided the Count had
done the best work In the first brace
and should contend with Bird West for
seco1d honors. During this trial not q
birs was flushed Count showed more
individuality than DR.. Mccormick

Robinson decided to award it first
hop5rs.

Led a Merry Chase.

The course selected by the judge lay
to the northwest Of Chesapeake Beach.
For nearly two hours the dogs led their
owners. the Judge and the followers a
merry chase. Through many swamps
the animals sought their way. and the
followers, many Of whom had never
been on a hunt, presented a sorry spec
tacle.
During the entire time not a bird was
seen The second set of dogs were G.
II Gents setter, Lady Lou, and G. l.
MoCormick's setter. Bird West After a
ten minutes chase Bird West scented a
covey. and while circling It Lady Lou
Immediately came TO a point Bird
West then backstood its opponent. The
dogs were held to the point for fully a
minute. when Mr.. Gent flushed the birds
With shot. The covey contained ten
bids
fiird West soon after got two points
anil stood the birds like a veteran. 1t
was these that gained for II the victory
in the second brace.

The Technical and Business High
School boys lined up in football game
on Georgetown Field yesterday after
noon, and the manual training school
lads plowed through the line Of the en-
bryonic merchants and skirted their
ends almost at will. and won by the
score of % to O
IN the first half Tech was able to
score only six points. BY a series of
gains they rushed the bah to Business

commercial students came near scoring
IN the second half, however. when Joe
Ioughran skirted left end for a run of
forty yards. but Harring. the only man

What a Good Kicker Can Do.

Thus the eleven with a good kicker
might have an opportunity of holding
another eleven even provided the kicker
be able to make two drop or place kicks
to the opposing teams one touchdown.
According 10 football critics this seems
to be the correct ratio. Let the touch
down and goal following count for as
much as two kicks. Certainly when a
kick is given the same credit as a
touchdown somebody is going to suffer,
and II is always the team which is not
fortunate enough to have a first-class
man TO boot the leather.

GOAL FROM FIELD
COUNTS TOO MUCH
Many Think 1t Should Net
Only Three Points.
WOULD BENEFIT THE GAME
A Man With an Educated Leg" Is
Now Given Power to Defeat
an Eleven.

Why should man with an 'edu-
Gated leg be given the power to defeat
an entire football eIeVen?''
why should he be allowed to make
as many points either with a place kick
or drop kick as an entire eleven work
ing in unison?'
Why should not the number of points
Tor a place or a drop kick be cut from
tve to three2'
These and other questions bearing on
the subject have been asked with fire.

opinion on almost every side is that the
rules should be changed so that three
points and not five be given Tor place
