IGNITE CAPTURED CHAMPION STAKES
IN PRESENCE OF $4,000 PEOPLE
Broke Track Record by Over Two Seconds and
Put Small Fortune in Owners Pocket

New York, Sept. 12.-Before a crowd

champion stakes. two miles and a
quarter, at sheepshead Bay to-day.
The time, 1858 3-5, breaks the track

River Pirate was first to show, but
O'Neill, on Charles Elwood, at once
drove his mount to the front, followed
by Major Dangerfield and Igniter. At
the far turn the last time, Odom, on
Major Dangerfeld, began to make his
move and sent his mount to the lead
err, and for a few strides was in front,
but Fuller, on Igniter, and Cannon, on
Douro, went at their mounts with
hands and heels, and, passing the

eighth pole Douro began to tire, and

THE POPULAR GAME OF
FOOTBALL AND HOW 1T is PLAYED
Rules and Details of Play Discussed for Informa,

by So yards wide, traVersed by twenty
two parallel lines dividing the field
into twenty-five five-yard spaces. By
the new rules an additional marking
is necessary, but this will be eonsid-
cred later. These traverse lines are
numbered. The middle of the field is
the 55-yard line and is common to both
halves of the field, from the 55-yard
line to either end of the field the lines
are called the 50-yard line, the 45-yard
line, etc, the line, or the end of the
field, being called the goal line. AS
the lines on either half Of the field
correspond, they are further designat-
ed by the name of the team defending
the goal at that end of the field. Thus
Savannah's award line would be the
45-yard line on the half of the field
that Savannah is defending.
How the Team Is Placed.
A team consists of eleven men d.
vided into seven forwards and four
backs. That is, roughly speaking, the
men arrange themselves into three
lines-the first line consisting of seven
men and being called the forwards;
the second line of one man, and the
third line of three men, the second
and third lines together being called
the backs. This arrangement Is for
the purpose of attack and Is, of course.
rudimentary, but the division Is fun
damental and must be understood. For
the defense the arrangement Is differ
ent, but again consists of the three
lines, though the men are scattered
over a greater area. The line of for
wards again consists of seven men.
But the man at either end of the line
of forwards is placed at a distance
of five or ten yards from the man next
him. The second line of the attack
now becomes the third line of the de-
Tense, and is placed twenty or twenty
five yards in the rear of the line of
forwards. The third line of the attack
becomes the second line of the defense,
but is closer to the line of forwards
and is spread over more ground.
How Positions Are Named.
The names of the positions Of the
men, beginning with the center of the
line of forwards, are center; the place
to the right of center being right
guard, then, next to right guard, right
tackle; then right end. The same ar
rangement is carried out to the left
of center, thus: left guard, left tackle,
left end. OF the backs, the second
line of attack, consisting of one man,
called the quarter back, whose posi-
ton is directly to the rear of the CEN
ter; of the third line the full-back Is
the center, his position being directly
behind the quarter and right-half. and
left-half being on either side of the
full-back, respectively.

Development shall be in direct ratio
to worth, is as true of sports as of
individuals. And football may be wen
used as a citation. A football player
five years ago was an object of curios-
ity-he was a new specie of animal
his articles of food, habits, methods
of speech and physical development
occupied much space in the daily
prints. The public refused for a long
time to regard him as normal, and an
admission that you were a football
player drew forth curious glances not
unmixed with pity, that a young man
would so thoughtlessly risk life and
limb in the pursuit of sport. This is
all changed now. One may admit that
he plays football without being thought
a savage, and without having to deny
that he eats his meat raw.
No surer measure of the progress of
the game can be found than in this
change of public opinion. Football is
here, and here to stay. 1t has already
ousted baseball as the national game
in the hearts of thousands, and each
season sees its popularity grow in leaps
and bounds. It's enemies have been
many and powerful, but football has
lived, 1t has proved its worth despite
the alarming mortality tables of the
statistician. Its existence has been
characteristic of the game-strenuous,
But the purpose of this article is not
to defend, but to give in outline the
most salient principles of football.
must say at the outset, however, that
the pleasure of football is found in
the nicetIes of the game, and
that thez interest of the game
increases as the knowledge To
appreciate one must understand. And
appreciation is found in the part of
the game that the majority of the spec
tators overlook. Unless one will give
time and thought to the game, foot
ball will represent nothing but a tan
gled mass of arms and legs. Football
is a science and the blackboard occu-
pies as much time in the development
of the college eleven as the field does
So. then, if. after reading these articles
YOU are still unconVinced that football
is the greatest of games, then the trou-
BILE lies not with the game, but in
the fact that you do not know enough
of the game to appreciate it. 1 say
again that appreciation increases as the
knowledge.

BOSTON AND PITTSBURG REMNANT
WINNERS IN TWO MAJOR LEAGUES
Post-Season Games Between the Two Teams Are
Bound to Prove Interesting

With the end of the regular baseball
season less than three weeks distant,
both pennants have practically been de-
cided. Boston and Pittsburg are the
100 to shots as winners. Both have
commanding leads with no possible
chance now of losing, but the fight for
second place is going to prove much
more exciting than the first place hon.
ors. Both of the leaders are practi-
cally on an even footing. Each lead
by margin close to ten full games,
and each has about fifteen games still
to be played.
With the regular season over, the in
terest in baseball will not die out this
year, however. A post season series
between Boston and Pittsburg is al
ready practically settled, and this will
come in for more attention from the
fans than any similar event in several
years.

WILL TRY TO SETTLE
QUESTION OF GROUNDS,
Manager of Chathams and Manager
of Savannah Team VIII Meet.

Manager of Chathams and Manager
of Savannah Team VIII Meet.
A meeting will be held tomorrow be-
tween the manager of the Savannah
ball team, the manager of the Chat
hams and the lessee of the ball
grounds. The object of the meeting is
to attempt to settle the controversy
over the rental Of the grounds, about
which there has been considerable dis
pute.
The Savannah team claimed the
grounds for Sept. IS. 16. II and IS, but
found that the Chathams had rented
them for the IS, II and IS for three
games for the championship between
the chathams and the Macon team.
Later announcement was made TO the
effect that the colored teams had
agreed 10 play their games early. in
order that the white teams might have
the Held al, the usual hour. Last night
the chathams' manager announced
that such was not the case. bat thai
he would play the games az the usual
hour, having been guaranteed the
grounds for that hour. and having paid
the rental price.

the crowd of 5000 present, when the
time was announced,
Preceding the breaking of this rec
ord, the worlds wagon record was
broken by the Monk and Equity driv-
en- to the pole by their owner, G. K.
G.. Billings. The team broke the record
of 2:12A, made by Belle Hamlin and
Honest George, driven by Ed. Geers,
trotting the mile to-day in 2:09%. The
fractional time was 0:S3h, 1:O61s, 1881,
2:09%.
The opinion has been held by many
breeders that the low records made
since Maude SIS day were due more to
mechanical changes In racing gear than
to Improvement in horses that have
lowered the time. The trial yesterday
was a result of this opinion, and
though the conditions of the trial were
perhaps not as favorable as they were
when Maude s. made her record eigh-
teen years ago, Lou Dillon proved con-
clusively that as a trotting speed mar
vel she has never been equalled

that picking a winner is much a mat
ter of prejudice on the part of the one
doing the selecting. Lines are lack
ing through which to draw a compar-
isOn of the two teams. but both have
shown unusual strength in their battle
for the pennant. Boston is generally
conceded to have the best pitching staff,
while the advantage in heavy hitting
lies with Pittsburg. For aggressive
ness, Pittsburg is an easy first, but
when it comes to clever inside work
Boston has, if anything. the edge. This
is particularly true of the infield work
of Boston on the defensive. With jim
mic Collins to run things. the defen-
sive work of the Boston infield has
been little short of marvellous. and the
Browns have good cause to realize
this. So far as betting on the games is
concerned, even money is all that can
be looked for, at least until after the
opening contest.
