BUSY DAYS AT
THE BENNING TRACK

The near approach of the opening of the
fall meeting Of the Washington Jockey
Club at Benning has awakened the little
village to a realization of it's full impor-
lance. Every stable or shack outside of
the Benning park has been rented, and it
the ground this fall win beat the record.
Superintendent Strahan was In business up
to his eyebrows this morning, as he says
the thoroughbreds are coming in from the
north by carloads on every train carrying
freight or express. The owners and train
ers at Pimlico have begun to slip away
plies to the horses at Aqueduct that have
been racing very hard of late. They have
been brought down here for easy workouts
and will be ready for business on the OPEN
ing day next Friday.
Secretary Walton has had high hopes all
along that Roseben would be brought down
here for the fall meeting, and only gave
up when he read Owner Johnsons state
ment yesterday that the great Splinter had
been retired for the winter. Roseben would
have been great attraction at Benning,
but he would certainly have cut down the
fields in every event in which he started,
as he is simply in class by himself. But
there will be many other thoroughbreds OF
class to try for the Bennins purses, and the
contests should be interesting every day Of
the meeting.
No matter what the decision may be in
the Davis case, now being heard in court,
the Benning meeting will go on just the
same, as the Jockey Club as an organ1za-
ton has not taken cognizance OF betting
in recent years.

As is generally well known. Collins has q
third interest In that club and may increase
that holding. Worcester was credited with
making nice thing of 1t last season and
ought to do even better next year Fred
Doe will be entirely out of it so far as
Worcester Is concerned, for he wills devote
all of his time and attention to the business
end Of the Providence club, of which he has
secured a one-half interest Unless Collins
is given an opening commensurate with
what he had in the Boston, club 1t is a fair
presumption that he will avail himself of
the Worcester proposition. >
OF course he will not play on the Worces-
ter club. Under the rules that govern or
ganized base ball he cannot do that. Nat
urally Collins would be a great card in
Worcester and in the New England League
as well. y
Hugh Duffy. the new manager of the
Providence club, contemplates some striking
changes. AS he will handle and captain the
club himself he will have no further use for

Coach Crowell of the George Washington

has been looking after the line men, had
charge OF the squad yesterday afternoon

John Field captain of last years Eastern

played in the back field during his high
school career.
The management of the team Is making
arrangements to handle record-breaking
crowd on Saturday. as every one will want
to get line on the teams chances against

Coach Reilly, at Georgetown, is preparing

field and for three hours the four men
worked the Michigan eleven until their
tongues We're hanging out.
Last night a great mass meeting was held
in University Hall send-off for the
team, which leaves tonight.
Capt. Curtis sent word as follows: I'm
in the hospital, but one man can make or
break a team. / am going to wait until
Saturday, when l know that the eleven men
who represent Michigan VIII win, and then
l am going to jump out of bed and crack
my heels together.
The slogan now is Fer Michigan, the
West and Joe Curtis.
The talk about sending Capt. Curtis along
on cot to witness the game is nonsense.
Why" said Yost, the doctors wouldn't
think of 1t. Curtis would be kicking the
splints. bandages and everything. etc, off
the broken leg. 1t would be the worst thing
that could be done for his welfare
Yost still views the coming contest in a
philosophical manner. TOO bad we couldn't
take the 1902 1903 or 1894 team down there

Yes" he replied. "or that team OF last
year. Let me tell you that the 1903 team
could lick any team that ever stepped on a
foot ball field on the day we beat Wiscon-
sin last year. No team could beat Michigan
on November l.. 1906
Gould that team beat any of the former
Michigan teams?"
well! OF course, nobody ever saw any
more beautiful foot bail and team work
than when Michigan beat Leland Stanford
in 1901, or when Michigan beat Chicago %
to in 1903, but that work of Michigan just
year ago yesterday was something that
no college could discount"
Yost is still loud in his praises of the pres
ent makeup of the Pennsylvania team.
I'VE figure he said, that Lafayette Is
about strong any of them up east
From end to end they Outweighed PennSyl-
vania twenty pounds to the man, and they
outweighed Pennsylvania twelve pounds to
the man for the entire team and Pennsyl-
vania held them to o."
1t is not likely that 100 rooters can be
gathered together for that $3.50 rate. The
conditions are too limited and those who
will go east will go independent of any eX
cursion. The Michigan team will leave here
this evening at 7:3O o'clock over the Ann
Arbor road and then take the Pennsylvania
road to West Chester, Pa, where they will
remain until Saturday morning They will
leave Philadelphia Sunday morning at 10
o'clock, arriving here early Monday morn
ing. A number will accompany the team.

players, was crippled yesterday in the
practice game on Whittier Field. at
swarthmore. ZieSler may not be able to
play against Michigan on Saturday and
the loss will be irreparable to the red and
blue. As result deep gloom pervades
varsity foot ball precincts. It was against
Murphy's wishes that Pennsylvania
coaches took the squad out to Swarthmore.
He feared that an accident might befall
some Of them and that the practice would
be dangerous to Pennsylvania's chances OF
success in the gridiron battle Of Saturday.
The practice with Swarthmore was in no
sense a game. The final score was two
touchdowns for Pennsylvania, made by
Dwyer and Folwell, and a touchdown and
a goal from field by O'Brien, the little
Swarthmore freshman who crushed Penn
sylvania's hopes early in October by his
goal from the field.
The teams alternated in the possession
Of the ball. and 1T was during a scrim-
mage that Ziegler fell and twisted his
ankle. Pennsylvania's squad started for
