When all Is said. however. the annual

Other Important Events.
The other Important events on Saturdays
card are the westbury steeplechase. over

OF the chute. The Westbury has added
money to the amount of 81. 500 and IL the
best of Its eligibles started would be one or
the best cross-country events of the year.
The best will not start, however and the
field will probably be made up of the same
bunch OF nondescripts that has marked all
recent jumping races. Only few really
good steeplechasers are fit to race Just now
and there seems to be disposition on the
part of owners to hold them back for the

Harvard Expects Strong Team.

Not in recent years has Harvard had such
a bright foot ball outlook as this fall The
crimson retains nearly every member OF
last years eleven, and, in addition has Sc
cured host Of other stars from the pre-
paratory schools Mills at full back; Noyes.
the substitute quarter back: Derby, a sub
stitute tackle: Randall at end and Meters at
tackle are the only veterans lost But OF
these Mills and Meters are the only regu-
lars who will not be back. The other alb
sentees played only occasionally.
This leaves Whitman. Leary, Shurtleff and
Blagden for ends; Brill. for one tackle;
White. Squires and Parker. for guards:
Parkinson for center; Starr for quarter
back; Nichols and Hurley for half back and
Hanley for full back. Harvard has a wealth
Of material for substitutes. and will have
two or three good men for every position.
The fact that Reid is to be head coach
once more Is what has given Harvard the
greatest confidence. Reid made a great
name for himself when he was at Harvard
in 1901. and Harvard expects him to do as
well this fall.

JEFFRIEs DOESN'T ANSWER.
Question Of Refereeing Britt-Nelson
Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 4.-Man-
ager Coffroth of the Colma Athletic Club
has not yet received a response from James
]. Jeffries regarding the proposition Of the
champion acting as referee In the Britt
Nelson fight next Saturday. Jeffries few
days ago was notified by telegraph that the
sum of $1,000 would be paid him for his
services in the ring. but no intimation has
as yet come from Catalina Island. where
Jeffries is staying. that the offer was salts
factory or otherwise.
Crowds Of visitors attend the Britt and
Nelson training camps. and the favored
ones are permitted to see the pugilists at
work. Britt is doing the lightest kind of
exercise. He is few pounds overweight
and will keep himself at that point until
day or two before the match. He makes
weight easily and considers himself in good
condition. Satisfactory reports come also
from Nelson's trainers.

the Quakers will start another season OF the
great college game.
Naturally the foremost question that all
followers Of Penn are asking just now is
What sort of material will the Quakers
have this year? VIII the team be as strong
as last year. and who will fill the vacancies
caused by the graduation Of some of the
stars of 19O4?"
None of these queries can be satisfactorily
answered until the season Is on full tilt and
the men show what they can do under fire.
paper team can generally play much bet
ter ball than the real article But at the
same time followers of the game like to
know what the coaches have to work with
and what they are counting on TO uphold
the honor Of the university.
AS a general proposition 1t can be said
that the Indications are that Penn will have
fully as good q team as last year. and the
chances are that 1t will be considerably
better, but that Is the paper view OF the
situation. The reasons for this view are:
First, eight veteran players about which to
build an eleven; second, substitutes of tried
WORTH and freshmen whose preparatory
school work stamps them as high class:
third, a continuation OF the same system OF
play with projections that come with time
and experience: fourth, Mike Murphys skill
in the training and conditioning OF players.
Are these not sufficient to make the outlook
hopeful?
Here are the men whose places are to be
filled: Piekarski, the plunging guard;
Smith, the powerful full back; BuckeiwicZ,
the aggressive tackle. and Drake the
smashing end. a quartet that played most
conspicuous part in the contests last fall.
But just glance at the men who are
counted upon to fill their places.
Beginning with Piekarski A great big
six-foot, 255-pound active fellow named
Horr. looks like second edition of HAP
cules. In his prep. days, at Colgate Acad-
envy, he made something of reputation as
a guard. He Is fast on his feet and has
square jaw and broad shoulders. If he can
keep his feet and hold the ball, Ziegler, the
holemaker. will be there this year as last.
OF II he can do little battering on his own
account, Ziegler will prove that he is as
good a ground gamer as the best of the
guards. Then there is Young. big, husky
fellow, from New York prep. school. Junk.
too, expects to give better account or
himself than last year.

BROKE WORLDS RECORD.
Feat Of Henry Leveson, With Ten.
Pound Dumb Bells.

CHICAGO. September 4-By raising two
ten-pound dumb bells 1900 consecutive
times Henry Leveson Of this city broke
the worlds record I'm trial yesterday.
Leveson's time for the record was five
hours and forty-one minutes. and during
the long grind his strength was kept up
by nourshment given him at frequent in
tervals. He finished comparatively fresh
and made the last thousand lifts In 80 min
utes. The former record was made in 1870
by Pennock of Philadelphia. who raised the
weight S,431 times. Pennock. however,
lifted from the shoulders up. while Leveson
In the record just established lifted from
arms length up and down. On March 3.
1885, Leveson accomplished $500 lifts in
two hours and 40 minutes.
The dumb bells officially weighed
prior to the test and were found TO be
slightly over twenty pounds.

AMERICAN LEAGUE GAMES
Cleveland, 8; Chicago. !

Cleveland earned three runs to the White
Soxs' one yesterday at Chicago and neither
team could profit by the misplays of the
other side for the simple reason that there
was but one In the contest. That was by
Tannehill, in the third. when his over-conf1-

from his clutches. but he made up for this
by helping double Clark and Donohue a

SIX DAYS MORE
AT SHEEPSHEAD


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 4.-But six days
of the Sheepshead Bay meeting remain and
the racing public will be served with
feast OF good sport before the scene shifts
to Gravesend. The current meeting has not
been remarkable for strict adherence to in
dicated form. but turf men and women will
regre. the end Of the meeting. which, as
usual has furnished the highest class and
cleanest contests Of the season. 1t is the
gooc fortune OF the Coney Island Jockey
Club to draw together for its fall meeting
anL ually the best elements in the turf
world. and this meeting has not been an
exception. The sport is more popular this
season than ever before. and 1t can be said
on the highest authority that the profits to
date are several thousand dollars in excess
OF last years figures for the same length of
time. This is all the more surprising when
1t Is remembered that no contributions are
now received from the ring to Offset the
daily income Of more than 5000 from this
source in former years.
The big feature OF the week will be the
running of the annual Champion stakes at
two miles and q quarter next Saturday.
Unfortunately the lack of good material In.
the mature division makes the $4,000 event
appear a gift to Sysonby, whose perform
ance in the Century was good enough to
have defeated any horse in the list of ell
gibles. AS the Champion stands. there are
twenty-six horses on the list of possible
starters. 1t is-a practical certainty that
not more than ten are able to cover the dis
lance at racing speed, and the event may
not draw more than three or four horses to
the post
Sysonby is considered a sure starter.
Artful, Tanya. Tradition, Oiseau, Water
Light, Tongorder, Bedouin, Agile and MI
Rraine are those who might be elected for q
try at the big end of the purse, with fair
chance of at least capturing second or third
money. Artful, the one horse of the year
considered to have chance to defeat Sy-~
sonby. is said to be under the weather and
not likely to start. Her work of late has
not been OF a nature to suggest that her
trainer is preparing for q race of such a dis
lance. and there is not the slightest doubt
that unless she Is ready to the minute she
will be sent out for a hopeless chase Of
the young champion, who II beginning to be
considered the greatest horse ever raced on
this continent.
Nothing but Artful.
Outside Of Artful there Is no horse among
the eligibles, or outside the list, for that
matter, to give him race. Agile tried. and
had his heart broken In mile of running
at speed far below sysonby's capacity
Tongorder. the Canadian champion. is the
barest possibility because OF his ability to
cover distance OF ground.

"BIG FOUR" FOOT BALL.
Outlook at Princeton, Yale, Pennsyl-
vania and Harvard.

Not more than two weeks will elapse be-
fore the candidates for this years Prince
ton varsity foot ball team will be called
out by Captain Cooney and Trainer Jim
Robinson and assemble on Osborne Field
for their first practice and instruction. Let
1t be said the chances are against as sue
cessful a season as last. The chief reasons
are the difficulties of replacing players lost
by graduation with those OF equal calfber
and the fact that the Yale team Is sure TO
be considerably stronger than last year
This latter statement is not irrelevant as 1t
may seem, for the success or failure OF the
season is judged by both the colleges ana
the general public almost solely from the
result of the Yale game. OF the eleven men
who faced Yale at the start Of the struggle
last year, only six remain to do battle this
fall. the others having graduated or were
dropped from college.
In the loss Of Crawford Princeton lost one
of the best and speedtest ends In the coun-
try Short will be another man out Of the
line by graduation that cannot be easily
replaced. Stannard. who played such ag-
gressive games and who was responsible
for so much ground gaining, will not be
eligible this fall. consequently his place wiz
be a very difficult one to fill. At present
there is very little available material IN
sight that seems likely to prove adequate
to fill these gaps in the ranks. The only
men lett IN the HE are SOOHcy, at ACI.

right end. Princeton also suffers the loss
OF Burke. quarter back; Ritter, the fast LETT
half back. and Foulke. hight half back
Rulon- Miller is left at full back. Helm. who
gave promise of being great quarter back,
was accidentally drowned at Coney Island
during the summer.
From last years scrub team and varsity
substitutes there are several good men. blu.
they have yet to show themselves up to the
mark for the varsity. No one can tell just
what material Trainer Robinson has, but
he is wearing a broad smile. and II this
Is any indication he will surprise the gem
eral public when ne trots his team out on
the gridiron. 1t woald seem to be that me
problem this fall Will be to develop line.
For back field the material Is more promis-
ing.
the coaches and trainer have based their
calculations only upon the material on
hand: that is, those players who were SUD
stitutes or on the scrub last year, or VINO
are already in college.
Regarding the entering class 1t VIII not
bring in any players of varsity caioer

Yale. a. Usual, Looks Weak.


This week Yale will begin to make prepa-
rations for the season of 1905 on the grid
from. John H. Mack, the new athletic
trainer. who is to succeed Mike Murphy. will
arrive at New Haven tomorrow. Tom Shev-
lin. the captain is spending his summer va
ca ton In Minnesota, and is not expected
until September Is. The preliminary train
ing for the team will begin September IL.
The players will have just ten Gays oIprac-
tice before college opens on September u.
4 glance at the foot ball situation this fall
shows that 1t Is not nearly so good as II
was when college closed in June: several
of the Veterans who had expected to come
back have changed their minds, and some
of the most promising of the prep. school
material. which three months ago was
sum the situation up very briefly 1t looks
as though Yale would have to build her
team this fall out OF the material that Is
left In the university. In addition. Yale
familiar with the material. and who clever
as he may be. will find difhcult task
ahead of him.
Of-the Men who represented Yale In the
in June and will not be here this fall: ]. c.
Roraback. center rush; r. p. Kinney, left
guard; J.. J. Hogan. right tackle, r. P.
Boomer left tackle; C. T. Neal. right end.
Behind the line Yale loses J. G. Owsley. full
back: J. w. Leavenworth. half back; F. J.
Mccoy. half back. and F. II. Rockwell. who
Is still in the university. but is ineligible to
play another season.
Yale had depended upon Thompson, the
Andover captain of last season, to take Kin
ney's place at guard. Thompson had passed
his examinations for Yale. had promised all
Of his friends that he was coming to Yale.
and every one was rejoicing over the fact,
when he suddenly packed his trunk. went to
Ithaca and entered Cornell. Thompson was
by Yale men considered the most promising
candidate for guard or tackle who has APP
peared in the prep. schools In recent years.
For new material Yale will get some
minor prep. school players. but none who
have been conspicuous or who have dist4n-
guished themselves in any way.
