SPRINT is FEATURE EVENT
Seven FurIongs Dash Brings Excellent
Field Of Speedy Horses Together
at Ascot Today
BY Irving B. Clement

The feature event on the card for this
afternoon at Ascot is the third race, a
purse affair, which brings together such
good ones as La Londe, Rubric, Don
Domo, Incantation and Bequiter. The
remainder entered might just as well
stay In the barn and eat oats.
La Bonde, with Doyle in the saddle.
figures very close with Bubric for FIRST
honors. The latter had such a gruclling
race in the Riverside handicap Saturday
that ] prefer La Londe to beat him.
Don Domo and Requiter will both
have look in The latter has shown
flash of his old-time speed i'm his
only start here that he must be con-
sidered dangerous. Don Domo, the gray
ghost, will like the light weight, but pre-
fers n shorter distance.
The first race is a steeplechase race
which brings together almost the same
field that started Friday. AtlaMtico
picks up fifteen pounds, which he hard
ly can do and beat Cazador.
The latter is my choice ana with
Tuly riding he should win, as he is Il
clean jumper.
Flea does not like weight. as he tires
badly after the last jump. Mindora
has been schooling well and will have
a look in at the finish.
The second race brings together a big
bunch of two-year-olds to go five fur
longs. Neatness. a half sister to Dainty,
put up such a good performance in her
last race against such Il good one as
Masterson, that ! look for her 20 win
today She ran as il short in that race
Prominence was all but left last time
out and then was only beaten a head
I'm good time. She should beat DIR. Nc
Carthy for the place money.
Cello, LaCene, Hester w and Astraea
will be dangerous factors. The start
and riders will do u lot to determine
the winner.
Hans Wagner and Reservation will
probably he fighting it out all through
the stretch. Hans is such consistent
and true runner that look for him to
beat Reservation. Memories does not
like heavy weight and will have all TO
do to beat Bragg.
The fifth race, at a mile and fifty
yards, brings out a field of thirteen
Lustig seems to be the class of this
bunch and if he is plioted by Walsh
and gets away well, he will be "A hard
horse to beat.
Mai LoWery ran cracking good race
Friday and if "Puddin' Mcdaniel rides
her today she will make Lustig extend
himself.
Potrero Grange. Fressias. Golden
Light and Hot will fight it out for the
show money. If Potrero gets good
ride and has good racing luck he has
an excellent chance TO win.
Golden Rule in the sixth race has
shade the best of it on figures. He
can handle weight well, is a quick
breaker and will have Wiley UP.
Dan Collins made a good showing for
a first out after a long rest and has
good chance for second. Hardly think
he can beat Golden Rule this way
Weighted.
Beautiful and Best will have Seder
up and as he has beaten lnterlude last
time they met he should beat him out
today again for third. The latter was
poorly ridden then and might improve
with this race under his belt. Tim
Payne has been working well and bears
watching in the "market."

CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
EXCITES MUCH INTEREST
GAMES HAVE DEMONSTRATED
EARNEsTNEss OF PLAYERS
Angels Lead Both at Batting and
Felding-Two More Games Will
Land the Pennant for the Seraphs.

That intense interest has centercd
on the championship series which is
now being played between the Angels
and the Tigers for the pennant has
been evidenced throughout the week,
when each days play witnessed n
large crowd present to asst i'm bring
ing home the flag. Yesterdays gather
ing was the biggest of the present
season and had 800 more people sought
admission the bail field would have
been brought into requisitiOn.
The outcome of the first weeks play
finds the Angels with comfortable
lead Of three games and to u man in
tree the rag is already running up
the Scraphic pole. Fishers pitch ers
arc hardly equal to the task set out
for them, ana the present batting Of
the Angels would drive the average big
league twirler to the woods
The total number of hits registered
by the Angels figures thirty eight,
while tho Tigers have connected safely
twenty-sevcu times In the four gaines.
Of the four games the Angels took
two and lost ono of but one run, show
ing the closeness of the struggle. The
opening game went to Los Angeles by
a score Of to ] the Bengals captured
the second 3 to 2 and the seraphs in
turn won the third by the reverse of
the score.
The decisive feature OF the games
has been the fielding of the two teams
and when the error column is counted
the Bengals have eight black marks
against them to but three for the An
gels.
That both mines are out for the big
end of the series is manifest from the
manner in which the men have con-
tested every point during the course of
the play. Before the opening game
Managers Morley and Fisher came
to an agreement that neither team
should enter an objection to the rul-
ings of Umpire Perrine, but there has
been sufficient talk to warrant fines
did Perrine feel so inclined, the tow
headed official evidently is overlook
ing the fault finding of the players in
view of the importance of the series
and the natural desire of both teams
to win.
Five games yet remain to be played
and the rest which the Bengal pitchers
will have before Thursday next may
result in a close race down the stretch
Two games more on the right side of
the Angels column and the Bengals
are out of the running.
The games will be called Thursday
of next week, continuing to Sunday,
when Il double header is to be played.

Good Card Today

OF the six events carded for decision
today three of them appeal with
especial interest to the racegoers, and
either OF them could be denominated
the fea ture event.

lers, including two new ones, Sweet
May and Mindora.
The third race Is a seven furlongs

AS regards the football agitation
Coach Hempel believes that changes
can be made which will satisfy the
general demand. He says:
'Football, with the present rules en-
forced, is the game for college men
and Well-trained players. The only
danger which arises comes from the
manner in which undeveloped young
sters leap into the game without the
ieast of physical training. The mod
ern game of football has III a manner
cutgrown the original intent which
called for merely an athletic contest
1t is nothing more or less than a
necessary outlet to the vigorous side
of student life that no other game
could prove substitute for.
1t is human to contend and the
idea of eleven men competing on the
football field represents a spirit which
Snoulu exist between the representa-
tiVes Of two Institutions. A good sug.
gestion was made by a member of the
University of Pennsylvania coaching
staff last year that when a man was
caught slugging his team should plan
the remainder of the half with ten
men or minus as many more as might
be ruled out.
IF the rules committee will listen tC
the popular cry for "a more open game
the public will find that the. injuries
may result in greater proportion thar
ever before.
"a change which I'm my opinion
would bring about good results is that
eight yards be required i'm three downs
with six men playing behind the line
Each play should go five yards wide
OF the center and to prevent loose play
of the opposing forwards "A line plaS
might be required i'm one of the three
downs.
''Iwo years ago a faculty member OF
the University of Illinois secured sta
tistics from 200 of the leading educa-
tional institutions of the country as
regarded the fatalities resulting from
the various sports, and in the football
guide Of 1903 where the records were
published it appears that more injuries
result from tennis than from football

sovEREIGNs AND FASHIONS.
Styles Put Into Vogue by Royalty to
Cover Physical Defects.
From Tft-Bits-

FROM I1t-BltS
Many Of the fashions inaugurated by
sovereigns have had most unromantio
origins. Thus when Louis TX of France
developed a bald Uranium his queen
promptly provided him with wig. say
ing: Our bald kings have never been
lucky. and 1t Ill BELTS a sovereign that
he should not be better provided with
flowing locks than a mendicant at the
gates of Notre Dame" And forthwith
every subject throughout France. whether
he required 1t or not, donned a similar
wig in loyal emulation of his king.
Henry Plantagenet, duke of Anjou. had
an excrescence on one of his feet which
made the wearing of an ordinary shoe
painful, If not impossible, and to hide his
defect he wore shoes with points two
feet long. which speedily became the
rage. 1t was a different motive which
prompted Catherine Of Braganza to start
the fashion of wearing short skirts in
stead of the long dresses then in popular
favor She had small and dainty feet and
was anxious that others should have an
opportunity of admiring them. 1t was
vanity, too, which suggested to Isabella
of Bavaria the wearing of low-necked
dresses, SO that the fairness of her neck
and shoulders might be admired by all.
Edward VI was the first to wear silk
stockings in England, his first pair be-
ing present from Sir Thomas Gresham,
who had imported them from Spain, but
it was Queen Elizabeth who put on them
the final seal of fashion. When Mistress
Montague, one of her tirewomen, pre-
sented her majesty with a pair as a New
Years gift in 1850 she went into raptures
over them, declaring: II like silk stock
ings so well. because they are pleasant,
fine and delicate, that henceforth Will
wear no more cloth stockings.
When Henry VIII caused his head to
be polled and his beard to be cut short
heads were shaved and boards trimmed
in almost frantic haste from one end of
the kingdom to the other. Similarly, when
Francis 1 received a wound in the head
which made 1T necessary for him to wear
his hair short cropped heads became at
once the fashion among his subjects,
while to give but one more instance of
the power of a king to model fashions.
when Louis XIII first put a crown on his
bovish head 1t was signal for courtierS
and subjects throughout France to APP
pear with faces as innocent of hair as his
own.

Saskatchewan to Chicago.
rom the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Some weeks ago the Inter Ocean publish
ed an editorial suggesting the possibility Of
water communication between the Lake
Winnipeg and Saskatchewan river basin
and Lake Superior 1t was suggested that
If 1t was possible to open a navigable chan
mel between Lake Winnipeg and the Lake
of the Woods, to utilize Rainy Lake river
below Fort Francis Falls. and to construct
a canal from the falls to Lake Superior,
Chicago might be given water communica-
ton with the great grain fields of the sas-
katchewan valley. The editorial was cop
led by several Canadian papers, and was
favorably as we'll as unfavorably comment
ed on. 1t was stated In one of these news
papers that the elevations OF the several
lakes would prevent the carrying out 0,
such a project. For example, the Lake OF
the Woods Is 1867 feet above sea level
Lake Winnipeg, on one side, is aus ieet
and Lake Superior, on the other SIDE, e'o
feet above sea level! In other words Lake
Winnipeg is 100 feet higher than Lake 81,
perior, while the Lake OF the Woods Is tis
feet higher.
Rainy lake, connected by Rainy Lake
river with the Lake of the Woods ls al
still higher level 1t is contended that q
canal by the way of the Lake OF the Noous
and the Winnipeg river would be 100 eA-
pensive an undertaking TO justify It's con-
struction. This, however, IS 10 be deIeF-
mined by a careful survey. Another prop
osition is to establish water communicauoi
between Lake Winnipeg and Lake superior
by way of the Red River OF the Norm. Ihs
river, without any expenditure for improve
ment, is navigable certainly as far south a
Red Lake river. The Red Lake river Tom
the Red river to Red lake. It is believed
could be easily improved to meet the re,
quirements of the proposed waterway hea
lake itself is navigable, and there a,o
already steamers on II of considerable sIs.
From Red lake TO Lake Superior py any
one of three possible routes the distance y. =
shorter than from the Lake OF the "oo1S
to Lake Superior.
1t has been suggested that water cum
munication between Lake Winnipeg anu
