National Association and Track Man
ayers May Clash.

WelI-posted judges of the light harness
racing situation predict that this winter
there will be an open break between the
National Trotting Association officials and
the managers of the tracks that compose
the grand circuit.
From the opening at Detroit in July to
the final meeting at Memphis in November
the grand circuit officials distribute this
year 100000 in cash and bring together
the greatest light-harness horses in the
world
R. A. Smith, the Philadelphia amateur,
who drove the great race mare Sweet
Marie, 2.OS!A. Is the cause of the trouble
and his work in the sulky promises to be
the means of rousing the greatest contest
ever precipitated in the light-harness world
of America
Smith was suspended by the grand cir
cult officials for the alleged pulling of the
mare in the old Saugus races, but was
promptly reinstated by the officials Of the
National Trotting Association. He was
then just as promptly suspended by the
grand circuit stewards again. and now is
down for the balance of the season.
Alta p Mcdonald, the Albany relnsman
has been engaged to pilot the mare in her
future engagements and will wind up the
racing season with her at Memphis. His
suspension will not hold over any other
than a grand circuit course, and it Is this
fact that promises to make the battle for
supremacy one Of the greatest ever fought
by the powers that be in the light-harness
world
All over the country they are awaiting
the clash that, it, is predicted. will come
with the close OF the present racing season.
From the result OF the conflict much good
is anticipated
The framing of liberal rules and the SUBJ
stitution of the empire plan for the old

laying ups" are promised and looked for,
SO that the turf world. 1t is said will be

Engineers Beat Brookland.

Although greatly outweighed, the Brook
land foot ball team put up game fight
with the Engineers at the Washington bar
racks yesterday afternoon, the latter win

In the first half and the Brooklands worked
the ball down the field, gaining ground in
every scrimmage. Through the interfer-
ence Of the Engineers center with the
Brookland snapper-back before the ball was
snapped, and which the referee did not see,
the ball was lost on a tumble. The En-
gineers then worked the tackle-back forma-
ton and gradually pushed the Brookland
line back until a touchdown was scored.
An attempt to kick goal failed
In the second half the tackle-back forma-
ton was worked exclusively, and with the
great weight of the Engineers they had no
trouble beating the Brookland lads back
and easily scored another touchdown, from
which goal was kicked.

Harvard Had Game With Freshmen.

Regular players of the Harvard team
went through light practice at Cambridge
yesterday, but for the next two days they
will have hard work in preparation for the
Pennsylvania game. The feature of the
work was a twenty minute game between
the varsity and the freshmen elevens, in
which neither side scored. The varsity was
made up largely of substitutes. The fresh
men played a hard. snappy game. getting
the jump on the varsity every time. Twice
the varsity was held for downs, and the
freshmen gained fully as much ground as
the former. Grant at center on the 'O3
