Half Century Old.

Last Thursday our former fellow
townsman. Fred E. Ranney, now re-
siding in Greenyille, was fifty years
old and surprise was given him in
honor of the anniversary. His fine
home was filled with over eighty
guests and the surprise was so COM
plete that the whole company came
upon him while sitting on the porch
in his shirt sleeves. 1t was an occa-
sion he will always remember as a
32nd degree Masonic charm was pre-
sented him, also a fine Morris chair
and other remembrances of the occa-
sion. Mrs. Ranney is an ideal enter

the Postal Telegraph and Commercial

new cable to Manila, and thence
around the world He sent a dispatch
from his home at Oyster Bay to Gov
ernor Taft, congratulating him and
the people of the Philippine islands
on the fact that at last they are to
enjoy the benefits of direct telegrap-
hic communication with the United
States, and his message conveyed to
the people of the islands sentiment
appropriate to the day.
The message from the President
went to the Pacific coast by the land
lines of the Postal company and
thence to Manila by the new cable
line. At Manila it was taken up by
the Eastern Telegraph company and
hurried on to London, where it was

RAGING MEN LOYAL

Game Not Likely to Be Ex-

GOTHAM WEATHER TICKLE
President S. S. Rowland Due to Reach
Here This Evening
Farrell Booked.

The proposal of certain New York
men that the racing season in the vicin-
ity Of New York be extended until De
cember has caused a great deal OF dis
cussion among horsemen at the Ben
ming track.
Not a man could be found today who
was In favor of such an extension. Al
expressed themselves as decidedly OPP
posed to such action. and several prom
inent owners went so far as to say that
If racing was extended to that date they
would not start their horses. There Is
little likelihood that the stewards OF the
Jockey Club viii consider for a moment
any such proposal. for there are many
reasons why the season should end. as
IT has for the past several years, on
November Is.
New York ws=.Ler after that date is
uncertain, and owners Of the crack
thoroughbreds would not care to endan-
ger the health of their horses for the
comparatively small profit that would
arise from racing them. Such an ex-
tension might seriously interfere with
the racing at Benning. however. and
Neutrality-suspicious. are therefore much in
terested.
There Is no probability that it would
result in an abandonment of the sport
in the District, for horse racing has
steadily grown in favor here ever since
the organization Of the new Washington
Jockey Club. Should the efforts of the
persons interested bear fruit the only
result would be a clash in dates, and II
is not probable that Washington would
suffer, for all the best men interested
in racing have given their approval and
support to the local organization.
A prominent horseman said last night
that he did not think the members Of
the governing racing body would for
moment consider the suggestion made
and he intimated that it had been pro-
posed by persons interested in winter
racing in he hope that If such coa-
cessiOn were granted by the Jockey Club
that body might be induced later on tc

PENN'S STAR FULLBACE.
SMITH, DISQUALIFIED
NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE DA IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS NSa
Played Three Games With State College
Last Season Under His Right
Name.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. PA big SEN
sation was sprung in Pennsylvania
football camp By the announcement that
the university athletic committee had
disqualified A. L. Smith, the Quakers'
great fulback. and one Of the men
whom Harvard protested last week.
Smith has been disqualified because OF
evidence received within the last TWEEN
ty-four hours that ne had PLAYED for
State College last year in three games
after he had entered Pennsylvania.
Penn has heretofore defended Smith.
on the ground that ne had played for
State College in only two games al the
very beginning Of the season OF 1862.
and that after entering Pennsylvania
on October s he had not played for State
or any other college.
Evidence has now been produced that
Smith played for State College in three
games-against Yale on October IS,
against Susquehanna on October Is. and
against Annapolis on November l. Not
only did he play for State College in
these games. but he played under his
right name. which makes IL ali the more
mysterious why neither Pennsylvania
nor any Of her opponents knew OF the
fact
The committee has now sent letter
Of apology to all Of the institutions
against whose teams Smith played. ex-
pressing regret for the incident.

Central High School,; stock went up

outcome Of the High School champion

the first tin the flag of the first Cal

dust by high school eleven, and those
who have watched the intense rivalry
between Central and Technical, now
cOncede the former TO be the better
team.
Central scored all Of her points in the
first half. Cox time and again plowed
through the mutes' line for big gains.
and Kelley and Snow proved adept at
slirting the ends. But IT was fortunate
for the winners that short halves were
played, for toward the end they tired
perceptibly, and in the second half Cal
laudet had things all her own way, al
though the mutes were able to cross
the last chalk mark only once. When
time was called Gallaudet was fass

stantiat gains The teams were about
equal in weight, Cox being the only big
man in the game. The lineup:
