TIGER Scrubs SCORED,
VARSITY TEAM FAILS
Big Princeton Gridiron Men Outplayed
by the Second Eleven.

PRINCETON. Oct. 13.-The quarter
back kick was disastrous for Prince

and every attempt at this play resulted
in loss OF from five to ten yards. The
scrub held its own against the regular
players at every point. When Burke.

Bard's long punt. Miller was on the
ball in an instant and scored for the
scrub the only touchdown of the game.
The inability of the varsity to run
away with the scrub eleven at any time

that the Tigers second eleven is
stronger one than Princeton has had on

LOCAL JOCKEY CLUB
DOES NOT WANT DRAKE
Western HorSeman, However, Will
Race Here in Spite of All.
Millionaire

There is a rumor prevalent at the
Brighton Beach track that stable room
has been refused for John a Drake's
race horses by the Washington Jockey
Club, whose track is situated at Ben
ming, just inside the District Of CoIum-
bia. The story was 20 the effect that
Drake and his horses were not wanted
because the club was fearful of the pub
Jicity which would necessarily attend the
Chicago plunger's big betting transac-
tons
The report was only true in part
When Enoch Wishard, Mr. brakes
trainer, applied for stalls he was told
by the Benning officials that there was
none on the track, but that he could
have some a half mile outside the
grounds. These Wishard declined, say
ing that he would not walk his horses
that far It was the first time that the
Chicago plunger ever applied for stable
room at the Benning track. Heretofore
he has always sent his horses into win
ter quarters at Memphis at the end of
the meeting around New York. 1t was
only at the last minute that both owner
and trainer decided to race at Benning
When they applied they found that the
limited stable room had been engaged.
At this juncture John L. Madden ap-

ed, and Brakes colors will be seen at
the forthcoming meeting.
talk with a member of the Wash
ington Jockey Club revealed the fact
that had Mr. Drake decided not to
take part in the meeting the club
would have been just as well satisfied
Many signs point TO the fact that Mr.
Drake is not popular with racing off,
Gals here in the East. But, like other
strong, forceful fighters, he will carry
out his invasion of the Eastern turf as
planned
AS a sort of an aftermath to the al
legged Drake trouble with the Washing
ton Jockey Club officials. came the re-
port that J. w. Gates had sent word
to Congressman big Tim Sullivan
that In the event of a possible clash
between the Jamaica track managers
and the stewards over dates, he
(Gates) would advance all the money
necessary TO carry on the fight. This
story was told by a close friend of the
Congressman
This move of Gates is said to be in
behalf of his friend Drake, and as
a parting slap at his old financial foe.
