Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. 26.--The foot
ball practice at l. L. all this week will be
behind closed gates and it is realized that
much will have to be accomplished in order
to have an even chance to win from Purdue.
The defense has not been good during the
last week nor has the offense been consist
emily strong, although this is probably in
a measure due to- the fact that the team
has been learning a set of signals. The
men now have the signals in good shape
and the work should be better from now on.
The recent change in the Indiana line has
proved TO be good thing as Long at guard
is showing surprisingly good form, while
Mendenhall is better at center than any
where else. Three of the regulars are now
on the crippled list-DodSon, Ross and
Smith. There never has been such a local
interest in the Purdue game as there is this
year. 1t is almost the sole topic of CONVEX
sation not only among the students, but
among the citizens we'll From present
indications about 1.50o persons will go to
indianapolis on the excursion Saturday
morning.

NEW YORK. Oct e6.-It is long time
since any event has caused such a sensa-

here by the dressmakers working girls.
says a Paris dispatch to the Herald. The
place OF the rendezvous was the Gardens
Of the Tuilleries. Here they began 10
arrive two hours before 10 o'clock. the time
fixed for the start. The scene inside the
gardens was most picturesque. There were
hundreds OF girls OF every kind Their
ages were from fourteen to forty, aud
their costumes were as varied as the
wearers.
There were 1900 starters and many Of
them took the matter quite seriously. After
their numbers were arranged the warning
for the start was given and the heavy
gates of the garden swung on their hinges
BY this time the crowd of sightseers was
something enormous; there was not a va
cant inch of space on the place. while UP
the Avenue des Champs Elysees as FAR
as the eye could reach nothing could be
seen but serried lines Of spectators. In the
Place de la Concord were couple OF
companies of Republican Guards. supple
mented by a score of mounted men and a
large force Of police.
With difficulty a space was cleared for
the 1000 middinetts who faced the starter.
A crack of the pistol and the walk to
Nanterre had begun. Owing 10 the crowd
there only remained narrow lane up the
center of the Champs Elysee and the start
ing line at once revolved itself into a pro-
cession. Those who had the luck TO take
the lead in the scramble for places at the
start naturally were able TO keep II with
out difficulty. while those who had TO fall
in behind had but little hope of forcing their
way to the front.
With the marchers started a procession
OF automobiles. cabs and cycles numbered
by the thousand. The level ground 10

much difficulty, but out In the cold several
hills confronted the walkers and four or

point, nearly half the contestants had drop

the worse for wear.
Nanterre had never known such an in
hux of visitors and the crowd that gathered
to see the finish was quite too much for
the local police. A narrow path was kept
open by free use of fists and feet. however.
and when Mile. Jeanne Cheminel reached
the goal she was greeted with uproarious
cheering. The winner is a milliner. but the
dressmakers carried of most of the remain
ing prizes.

AN EXPENSIVE TASTE.
Billings Has Spent a Cool Million to
Own Fastest Horse.

The New York Herald figures that c.
X. G. Billings. who owns Lou Dillon. who
made the mark of 1:571s at Memphis Satur-
day, paid a cool million dollars for the
distinction of owning the fastest horse in
the world. Speaking Of Mr.. Billings the
Herald says:
His management of Lou Dillon after her
purchase for s12.5O0 last spring was char
acterfstic of Mr.. Billings. The mare was
then engaged in stakes worth $4,000 to be
trotted for this season, and as she had
shown her ability to trot in 2:o6 or better
these races seemed to be at her mercy.
He Immediately Cancelled all her en-
gagements in the Grand Circuit and directed
every effort I'm developing her wonderful
speed for an attempt to lower the worlds
record. Had the mare fallen into other
hands it is more than probable she would
have been trained to race and would not
have beaten the record.
when invited 10 send Lou Dillon tn
Brighton Beach in August, for an attempt
TO beat the record of Cresceus, Mr.. Bill
ings consented, but declined the offer of
$500, which was held out by the manage
ment as an inducement. At his own ex-
pense he shipped the mare and her retinue
from Cleveland to Brighton, thence to Bos-
ton where she set the record at 200 AL
though the owners of the track where she
performed prohted handsomely by her ap-
pearance, her owner refused any compensa-
ton other than a piece of plate to COM
memorate the occasion.
MORE ABOUT SMATHERS.
The exchanges are now filled with nice
words about Gilmore L. Smathers, the
former Pittsburg broker, who now owns
McChesney. One of the horse writer's says
/''Mr. Smthers has paid in the last three
months more than 100000 for harness
horses. Following his purchase Of Billy
Buch for $4,000. he gave $500 for the PAGER
Tom Keene (2:04i) between heats In a race
at Brighton Beach: At the fall meeting of
the Empire City Trotting Club he paid
$4,000 for Major Delmar. During the re-
cent meeting at Lexington, KY, he bought
Sadie Nc C2:11ia) for 10000. just before she
won the Kentucky futurity. and later in the
meeting bought the trotter Kent (2:121a) for
$1,000, and the PAGER John NJ, winner Of
fourteen consecutive races, for $4,000. thus
making a total of 100000 for trotters and
PAGERS added TO his stable since Aug. l.
BY his purchase of Major Delmar for
$4,000 Mr.. Smathers showed himself to
be sportsman as we'll as plunger. The
200 trotter has been q source of expense
ever since he was purchased. He is not
likely to earn his keep In the future, owing
to the fact that very few profitable en-
gagements can be found for him. Mr..
Smathers was fully aware of this fact when
he paid for the gelding probably ten times
more than Major Delmar will ever earn.
His first purpose in purchasing the horse
was TO win the Memphis gold cup. and il
he could have beaten Mr.. BillingS's mare
In the race to wagon last week he would
doubtless have considered his investment
a good one"

Purdue Players Believe Indiana Will

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct 26-Enthusiasm

down in earnest to win the state champion
ship. but above all to repeat last years de-
feat of her old rival, 1. L.. This will
be the hardest week Of the season for the
Purdue squad, and Coach Cults hopes to
see marked improvement in the work of
the team before next Saturday. 1t is posi-
bic that some of the old players who have
been shelved for weeks on account of in
jurleS Will be in the game Saturday. Cults
may place Leslie at end, for Purdue is
weak at both ends. Both Sim Miller and
Powell, the regular ends, were out to-day.
but neither is in form. Cults has not yet
announced any further shifts in the var
sity positions, but II is very likely he will
make more changes very soon. Purdue does
far this season the Boiler Makers have
shown fair strength in defensive work.
Clevenger's speed Is feared by the Purdue
team and unless PurdueS ends are better
drilled in breaking up interference Indian
should be able to make good gains end
runs. IndianaS line is heavier than Pur-
dues and the latter team will depend on
end runs for advances. The game should
be bitterly-fought one, with neither team
having any great advantage.

Heart Disease and Football.
New York Herald.

So many accidents have been laid TO the
game of football and so many lads have
been crippled thereby that we seldom hear
of the injuries and deaths that might have
been avoided. The death of a young medi-
cal student Of Baltimore during contest,
but at a time when the ball was not in
play. affords a striking instance OF an easily
preventable accident
The victim had been sufferer from
heart disease for a long time and yet was
allowed to take active part in the game.
His condition should have been, II II was
not known to his medical associates.
There is no game that requires more
careful and systematic training than foot
ball, and only the strongest are capable
OF bearing the strain. II there IL any phys
quickly manifest as he goes on with his
exercises, and why such incapacity could
not have been discovered in time to have
saved the unfortunate youth Is difficult 10
