only restore the family beefsteaks to
the old time prices, but he had millions
to spend In castles. yachts and dia-
monds. These mammals had male
friends aboard, who were instructed to
obtain information about Smithers. He
met them halfway and more.

COLORED BOYS ON TURF
At One Time They Held Their Own,
but of Late Years White
BOYS Are Better.

New York, Aug. 17.-There was a time
on the American turf when colored
Jockeys more than held their own with
their white brethren. but of late years
they have been falling behind, and it
has remained for L. Williams to come
to the front and prove that lads color
has nothing to DO with skill in the sad
die.
Last week Williams had four mounts
and landed three of them winners, and
with the other one succeeded in making
a dead heat. 1t was the first time in
years that a colOred boy has made such
a showing on an eastern track, and the
reception he received after getting Pro-
poser home I'm front in the closing event
must have convinced him and every one
else that IL is ability and not color
that counts on race track. Just bring
the money home and you will have the
crowds with you if your skin is as black
as the ace of spades.
Williams came out OF the west from
California, 10 be exact, with Walter
Jennings. The latt sr announced when
he brought him east that the colored
boy was a first-class jockey.
Williams success recalled the days
when colory1 Jockeys were I'm demand
and did not have to take a back seat for
anybody. Such riders as Ike Murphy,
Pike Barnes, Andy Hamilton. Willie
Simms and a host Of other colored boys
named their own salaries, and Williams
will do likewise If he can keep up his
present gait.

PREP AIRING FOR RUGBY
Berkeley Football Field Being Trans
formed to Play English
Game.

Berkeley, Aug. Inactive preparations
are now being carried on here toward
preparing California field, the football
gridiron. for Rugby, as adopted by the
intercollegiate rules committee for the
annual match between Stanford and Cal
ifernia. The new field. which was COM
pleted two years ago by the Associated
Students Of the University of California
for use a gridiron, is useless as field
on which TO play Rugby football until it
is widened In order TO make this posi-
bic it will be necessary to tear out the
bleachers OH one side of the field and
move them back. The cost of recon-
structon has been estimated at 5000.
Owing to the fact that the Associated
Students of the University still has a
debt of $1,000 on the field. II is likely that
the matter of added expense will not be
met with approval by the under-gradu-
ates on their first meeting at the opening
of the college year on Friday. Murmurs
of disapproval have already been heard
on the campus against increasing the in
debtedness, and II is possible that unless
the board Of regents agrees to assume
the cost of changing the field the pro-
ject will not be carried through. In this
event the intercollegiate game would be
played on the old field, which is now be-
ing used as a parade ground for the uni
versity cadets

EFFORTS TO SAVE RACING
Leading Turfmen to Meet at Sara,
toga and Lay Plans of
Defense.

New York, Aug. 17.-Alarmed at the
concerted attack on racing, the leading
representatives of that sport have ar
ranged for a conference to map out a
plan of defense. The conference will
be held in Saratoga next week and will
be attended by August Belmont, chair
man of the Jockey club, nearly all stew
ards of that organization, one or more
members of the state racing commits
sion and by several lawyers who have
made study Of the racing laws.
Although the patrons of the turf do
not fear any unfriendly action by the
governor during the balance of the
present metropolitan season, they real
lie that never, since the dark days
preceding the enactment of the Percy
Gray law, has the outlook for racing
been as gloomy as now. They admit
that the hostile sentiment is far reach
ing, deep seated and we'll organized.
and that they will have the fight of
their lives TO prevent the sport from
being practically outlawed by the next
legislature.
In view OF the present situation they
feel that their only chance of success
| lies in a defensive campaign conducted
Just as vigorously as will be the often
sive campaign.

New York, Aug. t7-During the win

KRAMER BEATS
HARDY DOWNING
Latter Substituted for Lawson
and Rides American Cham
pion at French Style.

When IL was announced at the Saucer
track last evening that liver Lawson had
refused TO ride, 1t was also given out
that Downing would ride Kramer in a
French style race Four starts were made
I'm this race before II was finished. On
the first start Downing punctured. On
the second start Kramer punctured, and
on the third start Downing punctured
again. In the starts of all these races
a man could go and remain on his wheel
Both Downing and Kramer came to a
complete standstill before one or the
other finally got away.
The fourth attempt started one Of the
prettiest French style races seen for
many a day. On the third lap from
home Kramer was in the lead and gradu-
ally increased his speed until the quar-
ter from home was reached. Then Down.
ing came up. with either an attempt to
go around or to ''shoo" Kramer on. 1t
a jump that afforded some idea of how
the American champion can ride a BIZ

down to the pole to take the pace. From

BUT LITTLE TALK
OF BRUTALITY
HulIabaIoo Raised Over Foot
ball Last Season Has Ap-
parently Died Away.

New York, Aug. 17.-As was to have
been EXP ected, the lullabaloo raised
over the brutality" of football has died
away, and there is hope that even Co
lumbia may fall into line before the
season opens and have an eleven on
the gridiron. Whether the last of the
hostilities makes submission, however,
cuts little ice" Harvard will be in the
game. and she will play Yale, OF course.
The date fixed for the big game is Nov.
"A. 1t is understood that President
Eliot's opposition TO the game has re-
suited in modifying many of the objec-
tionable features. and IT is said we are
to have much more open game this
season. This would not be a bad thing
If ii is true. The old game was not per-
feet, but it was a pretty good game at
that, and it is altogether probable that
when the season is well under way ii
will be found very little changed.
Another game which is scheduled is
that between Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania for Nov. IL This viii give an
opportunity to get line on the relative
merits of the east and west in the greaI
college game. and the game scheduled
tetween Minnesota and the Carlisle In
dams will afford another standard OF
comparison. 1t seems a pity that we
cannot have some arrangements by
which the championship Of college
sports can be definitely settled. In
baseball, football, rowing and track ath-
leticS the same condition obtains; the
question Of superiority as between the
east and west, and, in fact, between col
| legeS in the same sections, remains q
matter of conjecture.
