LOU DILLoN's FAST HALF.
Mir Billings Drives Trotting Queen in
 O:59 on the Speedway.

w VII SAAS oRSSAgN0S"
 New York, Nov 12-It was the in- tention of c. K: c. Billings to bring Lou Dillon. 1:5819, and the rest of his stable to the Speedway yesterday af- ternoon, and many of the spectators were disappointed when it was learned that business had called MT Billings from the city and that the queen of trotters would not be seen in the reg ular program. .''@F
 Earlier in the day MT Billings and few friends visited the Drive and had an hours sport driving the different members Of the stable against each other. Then it was decided to drive Lou Dillon half mile against time, and man was stationed at the start ing post to give the signal to those sta toned at the finishing post. Charles Tanner drove the runner that acted as prompter and MT Billings drove the mare to wagon. The clean-cut chest nut stepped over the straight course at a high rate of speed, trotting the half mile in 0:59. Over the lower stretch she was sent quarter of a mile against time. but so far as learn. ed no outside watches recorded this effort Report credited the mare with trotting the distance in O:27sz, but this could not be verified. S"
 The program of sport at the after noon meet was high class. E. E. Snathers's black pacer John M., 2:o9, the unbeaten champion of long cam paign, won his first honors on the Speedway. defeating the champion of last year, Nathan Straus. 2:O51a, after losing the first heat. John M. was driven by the trainer, George Spear, while the owner, B. E. Meyer was up behind Nathan Straus.
 Mir Smathers, behind the pacer Tom Keene. 2:047z, and James A. Murphy, with the pacer Dusty Wilkes 2:15A, had meeting that was certainly un- satisfactory to tie spectators, what. ever may have been the opinion of the owners. Only once did the two horses pass the finishing post in company, one or the other making a mistake that spoiled at least half a dozen starts Tn the one heat finished 1t was said that Tom Keene had an ad- vantage at the start. He finished in front by three lengths.
 When finally Mir Smathers got up be- hind the trotter Ida Highwood, 2;09A, he sent her one rousing brush with A. B. Gwathmey's trotter Tiverton. exhibition of speed. Tiverton was in front by nearly length when the journey was finished.

 THE GREATEST SPORT.
Jimmy Ryan Says Baseball Is Away
 in the Lead.

J1muy hydH oayS bdSepau Is Away
 in the Lead.
 Base ball is the most cosmopolitan sport in the world says Jimmy Ryan. Tt is now attracting representa- tives of every nationality among those who have settled within our borders. The Irish and Germans continue to be most numerous in the profession, but Frenchmen, Italians, Swedes and In- dians are coming into line quite nu- merously, while a, few Russians, Bo- hemians and even Englishmen are ill the ranks of the faster leagues" Base ball, however, is nowhere to be com pared to boxing as a sport of all na- tions. There are no negroes and only one or two Hebrews ill base ball. whereas probably 40 per cent of the fighters are either Jews or colored men. Up to a few years ago the Spanish were about the only people without a representative in the American ring, and now that Aurelio Herrera is win ming battles, even the Dons are prom inent fistically. A few nationalities and their representatives in the Ameri- can ring: Russian, Nick Burley Baro- vich); Polish Hebrew, Joe Choynski; French, Tommy Ryan, George Lavigne; German, Otto Sieloff; Swiss, Gus Ruh- lin, Frank Erne; Spanish (Mexicanl Aurelio Herrera; Cornish, Bob Fitz- simmons; Bohemian, Jack Root, the Mesmic brothers Italian, Joe Grim; Australian, Tom Tracey.

NEW FOOTBALL ARMOR.
C0rsetlfISe Device Said to Have Been Used by Minnesota University.

CorsetliIxe Device Said to Have Been
 Used by Minnesota University.
 F. H. Yost, coach of the University of Michigan football team, is author ity for the statement that in the recent Michigan Minnesota game players of the latter university team wore new sort of protective armor, says Detroit dispatch.
 "When the men came on the feld,' said Yost, II noticed that Schacht look ed good deal bigger even than he did last Thanksgiving day, so I went up and felt of him. You can imagine how surprised was when found he had a sort of football corset on Covering his stomach, sides and back, there was some sort of stiff garment that felt like a jacket of barrel slaves. 1t WAS probably padded inside, and his suit covered 1t completely from sight. :. As soon as they got into the game saw what the use of that jacket was.
 'tSchacht was the best ground gain CT. He would stand back of the line just behind the quarter back and with the other backs behind him. Harris would snap the ball, Schacht would take two steps and jump, and then the rest would skate him along on his stomach like big snow ploW. call culated he travelled about fifty yards through that game on his belly, and it all counted against Michigan. I never saw big man slide along that way before.
 ''One of the boys who tackled Indian Rogers tells me that Rogers had the same make of corset on.''

Manage Dan Walker, of the Acorns football team of Bridgeport. who was in town Tuesday making arrangements for the game with the Merrimac Ath- Ietic club team at the Driving park next Sunday, has all kinds of money to bet that his team can defeat any team in this state. He is very conf dent of this and is willing to back his opinion for any sum. After next Sun day, however, Manager Walker may not be so overfowing with confidence: The Merrimac team has a few sur prises in store for their visitors. One of the strongest elevens that ever rep resented local club will play against the Acorns on that day. The Merri- macs are looking for the championship and do not intend to allow the Acorns to stand in their way.

WHICH IS CHAMPION?
State Football Championship Claimed
 By Several. .'


 By reason of the last victory over the B. A. C., the North Ends of Wa terbury claim the state championship, says Bridgeport paper. The North Ends have played but three games, in- cfuding the one in which they defeated the Bridgeport team. Two of these were with teams that the B. A. O. has not met. the Merrimacs and the " in steds. The Merrimacs have played but one game this season. Either the Bridgeport A. c. or the Acorns has valid right to dispute the claims of the Waterbury team on the record of games. The latter has not met the Naugatucks the Torringtons or the St Thomas Cadets. The fact that the North End A. 0. of Waterbury has won one game does not compensate for the large number of contests in the favor of the B. A. c. It is difficult to place She standing of the teams on points alone, especially when all have nnt played against the same teams

 Meriden Played Rings Around
 Bridgeport Interesting Notes On the
 New Sporting Game in This City.
 Wallingford will be here tonight and another corking good game can be ex- peeted. The local players are fit as fiddle and will try to take the scalps of the Wallingford players, as they will those of New Haven. The game will start immediately after the preliminary contest, which will be about S:45. Every player has been asked to play his position with dash and spirit that will make the people enthuse, and if they do so those who attend will see remarkably fast game. Wallingford has some pretty rough players, but they will find themselves up against 1t if they try any rough house work to- night. It will be q game worth going a distance to sec The preliminary contest will find the North Ends and the Mattatucks facing each other, and this, too, will bea red hot affair right from the start of the game. This bat tie between amateur teams is liable to develop into as interesting contest as the principal games. for the $50 cup offered by Manager Guest is a big in ducement

MAJcR D. c. WHITE DEAD.
Was Senior Editor of The Moulton
 Advertiser.

AdVert1Sef.
 Courtland. Sept. 16-(Specia1. )-Major b. c. White, senior editor of The Moulton Advertiser. died at his home Sunday night, in the 18th year of his age. For several years. Major White has been an intense sufferer from cancer of the face, but with the same rortitude that had nerved him in all of his battles of life. he fought to the end, never losing that Christian faith that had been his com panion since boyhood. He was a member of the Christian Church, a Mason, and Knight of Pythias. The Masons and Py- thians, jointly took charge of the burial services and the deceased was laid to rest according to the rituals of these orders. Out of respect to the memory of Major White, Judge Kyle adjourned the Circuit Court for a half day.
 The Moulton Advertiser of which Ma jor White was senior editor, till his mis- fortune caused him to release the active charge. was perhaps the oldest p aper in Alabama. For over eeventy-five years that paper has been sent out weekly to its readers. with only an occasional skip dur ing the late war. For more than sixty years the family of Whites have owned and managed this paper. From sire to son. 1t has been handed down, and at the time of Major Whites death. was edited and managed by Jourd White, who, throughout the State is known as one of the best paragraphers in the business Jourd is a younger brother of Major D. c. White, and has himself, a son in the office. training him as a journalist. Major White was a Democrat. a Christian, a Knight of Pythias and a Mason. It will be many years before his place Is filled in Alabama journalism.

Chicago Employers Start Crusade Against Gambling and Cigarettes.

 Absolute prohibition of gambling in any form, drinking, cigarette smoking and dissipation has been announced by the Western Electric Company to its em- ployes. They are the largest employers of young men in Chicago, more than 1,5oo being on the rolls.
 There are 300 college graduates, repre- sentatves of all the great schools East and West. These men, Superintendent Mitchell says, are all that can be de- sired. we discovered" said he, that the habit of playing the races was de- veloping to an alarming extent in the ranks of our employees and decided to give everyone fair warning of our atti- tude in the matter. No man can in- rulge in the practices against which our notice is directed and remain morally un- spotted. As for cigarette smoking, We are convnced that excess clouds a mans intellectua powers. Against cigarette smoking in moderation we have no complaint"

THE MONTH OF r1sR1.
Hebrews the World Over Preparing
 for Special Holidays.

Great preparations are being made by Hebrews the world over for the month of Tisri, wherein are celebrated the three most important Jewish holy days The first of these, Rosh Ha-Shana, falls on September p and marks the commence ment of the 5664th Jewish year. The first ten days of the year are days of peni- tence. and cuiminate in the Day of Atone ment. Five days after that Is celebrated the Feast of Tabernacies-the Jewish Thanksgiving.
 Hebrew New Years Day has for its distinguishing feature the blowing of the ''shofar"-a straight horn of antelope or wild goat. This trumpet call is designed to serve as summons to all Israel to enter upon the work of sanctihcation and prepare for the Day of Atonement. It is the Jewish belief that in this New Years Day the deeds of men are weighed and their destines determined.
 Atonement Day Is the day of national humiliation, the only fast day command ed in the Mosaic law, and the most widely observed of Jewish holy days. Business is suspended for that day by the most liberal as wei as the most orthodox, and quiet pervades every Jewish commit nifty.
 peculiar form of sacrifice Is perform ed by the strict Jew on the day preceding AIOnemenI. f1dplHe PicNAoSN AAAAAASSAA with a fowl, properly slain by rabbi, he takes it by the legs and, with uplifted hands, swings it nine times over the heads of himself and his company, and at the same time prays to God that the sins they have been guilty of during the year may enter into the fowl. He then presents the fowl to the poor, with a gift according to his means.
 A feast precedes the fast, which is not broken until sunset the next day.
 This most mournful of Jewish holy days is succeeded. five days later, by eight days of rejoicing, which are known as the Feast of Tabernacles. During this feast Israelites dwell in booths made of the shoots of beautiful trees, palm branches or willows. Especially welcome Is the stranger. the orphan or the widow.
 This mode of living is partly a thanks giving after the ingathering of the har- vest, and partly a reminder that their fathers lived in tents in the wilderness.
