The Week at Belmont P ark

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, October 13-In spite of eli
matte drawbacks in the shape of rainy and
very cold weather for early October, the
opening week at Belmont Park has seen
lively sport and heavy speculation. Form
has been so we'll sustained that favorites
and second choices have won a majority
of the events, and public hackers have come
out to the good in the financial battle with
the layers.
While Belmont'S Ark as the cynicS
facetiously call the big course, is the scene
of too many straghtaway races to please
the spectacular vision, these contests have
the advantage of being more truly run
than round the ring. where position is of
such Importance. Not that horses do not
bump each other on the straight we'll as
on the turns, but the contestants have
plenty of room as rule.
On Thursday however, there was not
room enough in the whole width of the spa
cious home stretch for Master Garner on
Sam Hildreth's three-year-old colt Guiding
Star backed for a fortune by the large
operators at the track. And when the out
slider Sailor Boy, 30-to-1 shot, ranged
alongside Guiding Star that colt or Garner.
or both, began to bore Father Bill DAILY s
mainstay until the latter was carried home
at an angle of many feet from where the
boring began.
Guiding Stars head victory over Sailor
Boy, however, was fruitless one as far as
returns to his hackers came in, for COM
plant of foul riding was followed by the
disqualification of the winner decision
generally concurred in by conservative wit
nesses considering the plain character of
the interference. 1t was the third victory of
the year for Sailor Boy, and, strange to
say, the only time that his hackers have
landed long odds. On the other two &C.
casions, at, Benning and Sheepshead, Sailor
Boy started favorite.
The only Tim Sullivan has evidently Sc
cured a good horse in his $15,0OO purchase,
Doctor Gardner. The way that three-year-
old lost his field in the Bronx stakes was
a treat to see land the colt received an
ovation as he strobe up the Belmont home
stretch with his opponents hull down on
the horizon many lengths away Stranger
things have happened than for this son Of
Bannockburn to rival the deeds Of his great
sire and prove to be a great handicap horse
next year. So also should Far West whose
mile in 1.3S % on the same day over a
track slow from rain marked the best
time performance of the year. c. c. P.

Barney oldfield's Close Call.

Barney Oldield, who holds more automo-
bile speed records than any man, says his
nearest approach to death was at League
Park, st. Louis when he was racing A. c.
Webb The dust raised by his competitor S
machine temporarily obscured Oldfield' s
view of the track. and his machine slipped
just trile. He lost control of it ON the
unbanked curve of the back stretch and it
slashed into the fence, throwing the dense
crowd of men and women who had been
watching the race all sides like SO
many jackstraws. Two spectators were in
stantly killed. and when Oldfield was picked
up it was thought he had no chance to sur
vive. Four of his ribs ere broken, his leg
was shattered, brain confused, and the
shock left him nervous wreck for time.
Oldfield recovered, and when he did his
first remark was that he was done with
auto racing.
IT do not care about myself" he said,
but the thought of those two innocent on
lockers killed haunts me night and day,
and l shall never touch a wheel again.
But much as he meant it, he couldn't
keep out.
He can go as fast as he wants in THE
Vanderbilt Cup" and nightly he speeds up
to 100 miles an hour in racing his old-time
rival Eddie Cannon" Bald. but should
the car ever break loose 1t would go
through the side of the stage like shell.

able. When Fred Law Olmstead and his
associates were laying out the plans of the
parking system for Washington one of
their ideas was to make this part of the
river the Henley" course OF America but
for some reason they switched OF and in
their plans laid out stretch on the East
ern branch for such a purpose. They
visited England and inspected the famous
Henley course and on returning changed
from the upper river to the branch on ac-
count OF the obstruction caused by the
Sisters and other rocks that abounded in
their neighborhood. 1t would cost fabu-
lous sum to arrange the Eastern branch
in the style mapped out by the commits
sion dammtng, dyking and dredging, and
besides the place is too far removed from
the center of the city to be available FOR
such purposes. 1t would cost in COMPARE
a mere trife to remove the oostruc-
lions lying between the sisters and the
Hens and Chickens" and thereby the city
would secure what the parking commits
sion were after. an available sheet of water
for rowing purposes. The local commit
tee are determined to push the matter and
will urge their friends in Congress during
the coming session to make request of the
Secretary of War to investigate and re-
port on the probable cost of the undertake

Aqueduct bridge is already building on the
prospects of the contemplated improve
ment, as the erection Of the clubhouse OF
the Georgetown University and the wash

there is a decided prospect that others

From the Straits Budget.


The report thai huge tiger had been

foraging around Kota Tinggi and carried
off most of the dogs of the planters and
villagers. Consequently planters and VIII

cussing it, Mr.. Bertus approached within
rifle range The shot which he fired struck
one of the tigers upper teeth, the bullet
finally lodging in the skull over the right
eye. The wounded animal then boted,
leaving the partially devoured bullock by
the roadside.
OF course it would return to eat the re-
mainder of the carcass. Accordingly. Mr..
Bertus, with some help, put up a fence
around it; leaving, however, a V-shaped
aperture only large enough to allow for the
intrusion of the tigers head Above this
was placed spring rife loaded with six
cartridges. True enough. the tiger re-
turned some time later obtruded his head
through the opening in the fence, and the
spring gun did its fatal work as the tiger
was in the act of dragging the carcass out.
Every one of the six bullets lodged between
the shoulder blades.

along the spine, and was feet = inches

The recent announcement in The Star
that the rowing clubs. keeping steps with
the movement for a Greater Washing
ton," were going to push the improve
ments Of the upper river in order to make
1t a magnificent rowing course. has SEEM
ingly struck responsive chord. Since the
announcement was made prominent men,
bers of the local organizations have gone
among the business people, and the latter,
one and ALL indorse the scheme as one
that should meet with the approval of
the entire community, especially so in view
of the wonderful success that recently at
tended the middle states regatta. The
immense crowd of people that was at
tracted to the city during that regatta and
the great gathering of rowing men that
the Potomac River Association brought
here awakened the merchants of the Dis
trict to the practicabiHty Of making this
city the future aquatic meeting place for
all big regattas. for the leading rowing
men declared emphatically that nowhere
is there a river, with all the advantages
possessed by the Potomac river, for the
holding Of a regatta of magnitude like the
national or middle states. This is at
tested by the fact that when the visiting
oarsmen arrived here for the recent re-
gatta they were, dumfounded when in
formed that though there was nine, ten.
eleven ana perhaps twelve entries In some
of the events. all would be started at
once and there would be no heats When
the Ottawa crew of Canada were told
that they would start in race with eight
-other four-oared shells they threw up their
hands and loudly protested that such a
thing was impossible, and if attempted it
would injure the fair chances of a square
race for all. They changed their opinions
quickly when they got out on the river, and
declared that it was the greatest course
they had ever had their boat afioat on
and that it's magnificence would be herald
ed all over Canada on their return home
AS with the Ottawas, SO it was with all,
President Pilkington of the National Asso-
citation said he would like to see every
national and middle states pulled off on
the local course.
It is this almost unanimous sentiment
that has stirred every one up in regard
to the improvement of the river which
as said will be in keeping with the civic
pride that now dominates the community.
There are some who think it would spoil
the beauty of the river to remove the
'"Three Sisters as the pile of obstruction
has been called, but they are few and
far between and their opposition is purely
sentimental. If these rocks were removed
and the river dredged it would give to the
people one of the finest sheets of water

INTENTIONS OF THE
EASTERN BOWLERS

NEW YORK. October 1S.-So far as the
New York Bowling Association is concerned,
apparently. the American Bowling Congress
might just as well never have been known
her. While no actual vote was taken at
the meeting of the N. Y. B. A. at the Vic
toria, enough action was taken to prove that

tsed everything New York might reasonably
ask. They agreed to revise the constitution
so as to conform with New York ideas, the
only notwithstanding that no change can
be made which will interfere in any way
with any other member of the association.
Under the new regime each city associa-
ton Is to have absolute control over its
own territory. 1t may adopt any particular
form OF registration best suited to its needs
and viii only be subject to the national
association in SO far as to enable that body
to control the game in this section.
Ex-Police Commissioner Bernard ]. York
was spokesman OF the N. B. A. delegation.
He explained the reasons why that body
was organized and outlined its plans for
the future. He said in part:
Prominent bowlers throughout the east
realize the need OF an organization national
in character to manage the sport In this
section of the country. The city associa-
tions, while doing splendid work within
their own territory. cannot control the game
as can a national association able to work
1.-The city should. and. under the rules Of
the National Bowling Association, will,
have absolute jurisdiction with its terri
tory. and should be subject only to the ma
tional organization. The N. B. A. has
adopted the individual registration plan,
and any individual may become member
Of it by filing his application and paying
his. yearly dues. But his application must
come through the city association. and un-
less 1t Is approved by it he will not be
accepted by the N. B. A.
las to registration. the local body is
free to adopt any method of registration
best suited to its needs. If. as you do.
it feels that the best way to control the
sport will be through club membership, the
fact that we have adopted individual regis
tration need have no weight.
I'VE feel that before we can really go
ahead along the lines we have mapped out
with the idea of making the national a
body to be respected by the whole bowl
ing world we must secure the hearty good
will and active cooperation of the N Y.
B. A"
One point the ex-commissoner drove
home was the fact that the new body will
be organized entirely independent of the
alley builder and manufacturer of bowling
supplies. He said they were necessary to
help improve the game, but they must not,
as in the case of the A. B. c.. completely
dominate the national championship meet
ings.
To a man the delegates present were
anxious and willing to break with the A.
B. c., but they agreed to wait to be shown
before taking any action.

Attell, the featherweight champion of the

graduate from the amateur ranks, before

Neither Baker nor Attell seems to have

more than likely that when they meet the

be decided on point basis.
