Thaw repeated his denials that he had married the model and show girl on the other side of the water and declined to sign and wife" on the hotel register. The two were permitted to stay there one night occupying separate apart ments on different floors.
 When the young man reached home bis mother, who is strict Presbyte- rian, had a few things to say to him which made his ears burn.

 There was another report that $25O,- 900 had been offered to Miss Nesbit if she would give Thaw up.

AMATEUR ASSOCIATION
MAKES NEW RULINGS
viii Require Tested Scales to Be Used
in Determining Weight Of Discus,
Shot, and Hammer.

NEW YORK. Sept. S.-TO prevent the
frequent mistakes made in the an
uOuncement Of new records in weight
throwing contests the A. A L. at its
next meeting viii suggest that a new
rule be passed requiring all officers at
athletic games sanctioned by the ma
tionaI body To use tested scales for
the weighing OF the discus. shot. or
hammer. BY this means the A. A. L.
hopes 10 eliminate the possibility OF re-
eeiv.ug false records.
II has often happened that after an
athletic meet the announcement is made
that one of the contestants broke the
worlds record in the sh0t-put. or ham
mer OF discus throw. ard the same is
accepted by the sp0rJ-lOvlng public as
t.Tge. But when IL comes 90 an investi-
ga zion IL has happened nearly as often
that tile missiles Were found 10 be be-
low weight or defective in other re-
spects, and the records were therefore
thrown out Not that there was any
underhauded work but the weights
were weighed on incorrect scales.
John J. Dolau. Of The Irish-Americsu
Athletic Club, has sent TO the office of
the chairman Of the record committee
OF The A A. T., two weights-one sup
posed TO be twenty-eight pounds and
the other nfty-siX pounds-which were
recently used in competitions An in-
vestigati0u showed that the twenty
eight pound one weighs only = lbs.

used bv John Flanagan. supposed 20

BETTING ON TROTTING
DISCUSSED BY EXPERT
Advisability Of Poolselling Should Be
Left Entirely to Local
Option.

BOSTON. Sept. sc. ". Lasaue. one
Of the most prominent and influential
members Of the Gentlemen's Driving
Club over whose track the grand cir
cult meeting was recently conducted at
Readvile. has advanced some important
ideas concerning betting on the circuit
OF especial interest in view of the anti
racing agitation now going on in this
section.
why not leave the matter of betting
10 the community I'm which Jrotting
meetings are conducted" said he In
other words let local option prevail.
just the same as in the traffic Of liquor.
1 venture the prediction that should the
matter of wagering on the trots be sub
mitted TO the community in which race
meetings are held nine-tenths Of
the popUlace would vote for pOolsell-
ing.
The difficulty of the whole thing,
continued Mr.. Lasalle, lis that we are
misunderstood, There are just as many
high-class sportsmen identified with the
.rotters as there are with the runners.
and if we could only bring our people
- believe this we might be able 10 get
q law passed in this state which would
place us ou as firm a basis as racing
now is in New York state"
NJ. LasaHes comment is thought TO
be particularly appropriate inasmuch as
the courts have just upheld the legality
Of betting between man and man.

BERLIN, Sept S-There will be an
other race across the ocean IN 1905. The
German Emperor is to offer another
trophy. Since the race last year, which
was a success. he has been talking OF
another contest. and has thought Of ar
ranging for a race for next year. but
yachtsmen who have been approached
to see If they were ready for another
race have discouraged the idea Of hav-
ing il so soon, and now it is said 1908
has been selected as the tine for the
next contest. 1t is with the idea Of an
other ocean race that plans have been
made ny yachtsmen To have large
schooners built. and the one for Edward
r. Coleman. who raced last year in the
Hudegrade, is said 10 have been planned
with another ocean race In view. This
Yacht is 10 be 120 feet long. and to be
rigRed as a three-masted schooner
other yachtsmen are planning TO build
ocean racers If another trophy is offered
for A race across the Atlantic. and II
the announcement is made in time II is
expected that they will be even more
memorable than the race last year.
The German Emperor is doing All IN
his power 10 stimulate interest IN yacht-
ing. He is taking great interest IN thS
coming race for the Roosevelt cup ana
is kept posted each day Of the doings OF
the boats that are to take part IN that
race. Captain Hebbinhaus is watching
things on this side on his hehalI, ana

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Sept s.
Harry Davis. captain Of the Athletics.

afternoon. Davis suspension was
caused by the row in New York last
Monday when the Athletics fort 20

Eyewitnesses of the affair declare that

the argument was on the crowd got on
the field and one man even ran down

New YOrks was perChcd. and began
talking TO that player.
O'LOughlIn ordered the Athletics 10
return 10 their positions. Ihls captain
Davis refused 10 have done until the
field was cleared. Without wasting any
time O'Loughlin then declared the game
forfeited 10 New York. AS Ban john
son has suspended Davis. the former
must think OLOughlin's explanation
satisfactory.
Probably silk took the ground that
il was the kick made by the Athletics
which caused the crowd 10 get on the
field Had his order been obeyed ana
the Athletics taken their positions. 1t
would then have been up 10 the New
