for the rest OF the season. and the care
Of the men will be I'm the hands OF DOC

The men showed good condition on
Saturday. and every effort will be made
to keep the team from railing on in this
respect before Nov. is.

PENROSE MAKES DENIAL
Stamps StsU Concerning Note an Absolute
and Malicious Falsshood.

Philadelphia. oct. 3f.-United States
Senator Penros made the following state
ment today:
Tho statement that a note FOR SIS, 900
signed or Endorsed by me IL or at any
was in the Enterprise National bank
or was ever protested Is an absolute and
malicious falsehood. I never knew any
thing about the Enterprise National bank.
nor did 1 ever, directly or Indirectly. rec
ommend a deposit from the state treas
urer. Nor have l ever suggested. recon-
mended or had any relation. direct or in
direct, with any similar state deposit in
any bank in Ptttsburg or I'm the county
OF Allegheny or elsewhere. The effort TO
connect mo improperly with the state de-
posits has absolutely no foundation TO
rest on. I have never interfered I'm these
matters, and nave never attempted to OBJ
tain any personal advantage from a state
treasurer In connection with the state de-
posits. The malignant effort 10 connect
me herewith il solely FOR political cam
paign purposes
Senator Penrose's denial was brought
cat by dispatches from Pitts burg to the
effect that the --latest development in
the affairs Of the looted Enterprise Ma
tional bank rests in the fact tha a record
has been found Of a protested note signed
or Endorsed by Senator Penrose."

CURLY jim WON

When Curly Jim defeated Battleaxe in
the nth race at the Jamaica track. pub
lie form received so severe a twist that
spectators gasped with establishment. In
his previous races Curry Jim was badly
beaten by horses of low class. Yesterday
he beat one OF the hest two-yesr-olds in
Harry Payne Whitney's stable.
II was another case, OF which there
have been many recently. hat the bet
ting foreshadowed the result Battleaxe,
"A lukewarm favorite at 4 10 s. with very
little support accorded him, failed TO show
his usual speed. He received a ~listless
ride from O'Neill and was beaten out a
head by Curly Jim on the post. The lat
ter was backed from 20 TO l down TO 10
TO /, and a select few Of the wise men OF
the paddock won tidy fortunes on him. He
ran in second place behind Battleaxe 10
the stretch. There he passed him and
won.
The Richmond handicap at six furlongs
was won cleverly by lyandzarra, the 2 TO
l favorite. Hermitage. on sufferance'
acted as the pacemaker until the last
wher HandzarTa went TO the
front and breezed lone the winner by a
length.
Race King pressed Hermitage In the
last fifty yards and kept him out by a
neck. Belle Strome and Gold Rose ran
like cart horses and finished far back in
the ruck.

Harvard Protests Two Pennsy Players,
Lamson and ziIigen.
Cataract Suspected Of Being Ringer
by Stewards Of Track

The Harvard football management hos
protested against University OF Pennsyl-
vania playing either Lamson, it's right
tackle. who IS the strongest man or the
ouakers' line, or Ziligen. one OF the sub
stitute forwards. against the Harvard
team on Franklin field Nov. II.
While the universIty's officials refuse
10 make any statement regarding the
matter. It has been learned that Lam
son has been protested on the ground that
he played two years at a Colorado col
lege, two years at Swarthmore that
this II his sixth year In intercollegiate
FOOTBALL. Zilligen. tho Harvard protest
asserts, is a professional.
The Harvard protest ollowed the ar
rival OF P~ennslyvania's list OF players AT
Cambridge. The Pennsylvania athletic
committee has been in telephone con-
nection with the Harvard athletic COM
mittee, and II Is understood that a mem
Der OF zach committee VIII meet within
q few days to discuss the matter. The
members of the Ia OF i. committee and
much disturbed over the protest. and
one of them said last night that Pennsyl-
yania would stand by the decision II al
ready has made concerning the eligibility
OF Lamson.
NO OFFICIAL statement. however. II given
out. Al official OF the university said
last night: 'Zilligen's name was not on
the list of players sent 10 Harvard. Zilli-
gen has not been considered "a a player
for Pennsylvania this year. He has not
been played. and will not be played by
Pennsylvania. The coaches have given
him absolutely no attention whatever.
and while he Is on Franklin field each
day, he plays with the scrub and not with
the varsity. Pennsylvania does not con
slider him among the Sligibles for her
team.
I'll authorities here this year have
refused 20 make public the facts in the
case OF any athlete whom they disquali-
fy, and nothing Is sold aboupt Zilligen.
The coaches saY-he has never been OF
varsity calibre and they therefore have
passed him by. His past record has been
under a cloud. and Pennsylvania officials
have never looked favorably upon him"
Chairman Smith OF the athletic COM
mittee, while he would not go into de-
tails regarding Lamson. would, however,
say this much:
I'm regard 10 Lamson, all the facts
On his case are well known. Last year
Penslyvania declared him entitled to two
years more of football, and his case was
thoroughly threshed out then. His case
was the basis OF a hypothetical case and
IL was agreed by the representatives pres
ent that a man under those conditions
was entitled 20 two more years OF foot
bali"
The opinion here. and one which Is
based on the authority OF a man potent
.n Pennsylvania. football. IS that Lamson
will be played by Pennsylvania against
Harvard Nov. IL, or there will be no Har-
ward game. The university. however. is
eagerly awaiting the result OF the con-
ference between the Harvard and Penn
sylvania officials.
