ON The RACE TRACK.
At CITY Park.

New Orleans, December 21.-Five favor
ties won at City Park today. The seven
furlongs handicap, which was scheduled
at the fifth event today, was declared
off because of the number of horses with
drawn, and seven furlong race was
substituted. Jockey J. Russell was sus-
pended for six racing days for foul rid
ing on Muffi y, in the fourth event. There
is some doubt whether this suspenion
will apply during the next two weeks
while the races are transferred to the
Fair Grounds.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"Parsifal" In English.

The great festival play, "Parsifal,' will
be the Christmas Day offering at the JEFF
ferson theatre The engagement of this
drama calls for an afternoon and night
performance and the sale of seats opens
at the Jefferson box office at O'Clock
this morning. Among other things The
Memphis News-seimitar says of the pro-
duction
Whether a religious legend or a religl-
Gus episode forms a desirable basis on
which to build a theatrical production IS
a question ON which each individual holds
his own opinion, but to him who accepts
Shakespeares dictum, The plays the
thing" the story of Parsifal, as depicted
at the Lyceum theatre on Tuesday even
ing, will appeal. At the outset it may
be mentioned that the present production
is a play from the pen of William Lynch
Roberts and now the great opera of the
same name, which many persons in the
audience had expected to bear. The story
of Parsfal, as depicted In Mr.. Roberts
play, is based on the lepend of the Holy
Grail and the sacred spear with which
the Roman soldier pierced the side of
the dying CHflst upon the cfoss VI Ndl-
vary dealing in particular with the loss
of the spear through the weakness of
King Amfortas and its recovery from
| I[lingsor, the black knight of necromancy,
by Parsfal the "guileless fool VINO
eventually becomes King of the Grail.
"Parsifar' is a most impressive spec
tacle, well acted throughout and elabor-
| atelv STAGED and a plaV that not OniV
| holds the attention through three long
hours but also affords food for reflection
| for many days thereafter.

Henning Was bright Par

Vanderbilt was beaten at basketball
last night by the Birmingham Young
Mems Christian association. The final
score was 80 to %.
While the game was magnificent strug-
gle from many standpoints. and while
there occurred many individual plays of
unusual brlliance, much interest Was
rubbed off on account of the slowness Of
the visitors Their work was the sur
prise Of the evening and tonight If the
two should meet again. the Y. NJ. c. \.
would more than double the score.
The attendance was splendid, and en-
thusiasm at times ran high. At the con-
clusion of the first half the score was
tied. At that time it was seen that the
locals were doing the most aggressive
work and it took no prophet to foretell
the general result. Then 1t was known
that If the Y. NJ. G. A. did not win it
would be due to the lucky star which
is said to shine continuously over Van
derblt. The game was marred somewhat
by the rough tactics of the visitors, this
being due primarily to their football
practices Especially in this did Manner,
the big fullback of the football team,
offend. However, the game was Interest,"
ing, and inasmuch as the locals won,
the crowd announced itself we'll salts
fed.
The Y. NJ. C. A. naturally a trifle
abashed at running up against the stiff
team from Vanderbilt, and somewhat
handicapped on account of this embarass-
ment, should have doubled the score.
However, the locals got in the game right
from the jump. and scored first. Henning
Wa the star of the game. his work be-
ing brilliant. Never did this little player
make greater effort, and never did he ae-
complish more. Five of the field goals

one Of tho most interesting features Of
the American League baseball race was
the struggle for batting supremacy be-
tween George stone. left fielder OF the st.

previous seasons. Carefully compiled ng-
ures give Stone a 15-point advantage in
to $3.50. stone participated
in all Of his teams 154 battles and made
2O7 safeties, while Lajoie playing in 152

OFFICIALS NOT
STRICT ENOUGH
PiIing Upon a Player When
Down Caused Much
Trouble

1t is all very well to congratulate the
Rules Committee for the Improvement
It has wrought in the game. But II is 70
be deplored that SO many Of the officials
have been either too lax or tco ignorant
TO enforce the rules.
There Is one rule in particular which
many leading officials have failed TO en-
force and thereby. have caused several
disagreeable. .if not dissraceful incidents
on the college Eridiron. This rule proyiues
for the imposition of a penalty for piling
upon a player who has been tackled or
after the ball has been declared dead.
In the Princeton game Quarter
hack Dillon was sent from the field be-
cause he retaiiated against two OF Cor
nelPs heavy men for failing on him when
he was down and their persistence in us
lng him as "A resting place. OF course, Of
icials must not countenance the striking
Of one player by another. But a little
more care IN such instances as these
would avert all the trouble.
The rules are very specific In declaring
that the ball IS dead as soon as its pro-
Ercss Is checked. Why then should so
many officials hesitate so long IN stop
ping the play and permit the opposing
players 70 fail on the man with the ball
after he calls down. There is nothing
which irritatcs a player so much as IA s..
Officials would accomplish more for the

averted more than one disagrceable incl

NEW CASTLE, Dec. 3.-From pres
ent indications the year 1907 will bring
to New Castle a boom such as it has
not experienced since the seventies,
when the Morris, Tasker Company es-
tablished its big pipe and tube mills
here.
1t has been announced that the New

to build more extensive plant and
that it will extend its pipe line to
South Wilmington and will supply that
section of Wilmington beyond Third

already been purchased and the work

New Railroad.
Regarding a new railroad into New
Castle il is said that the Wabash hav-
ing reached Baltimore would continue
its line to New Castle, and then run
ferry TO .Pennsville so that a fast
line could be operated to the seashore.
II has been advanced that New Castle
Is half a day nearer the ocean than
Philadelphia, ten hours nearer Harris
burg than the same city, and that
Philadelphia is now so crowded that
there is no wharfage, some other point
must be selected in order to handle
western freight. At the present time
movement is on foot TO build river
pier extending fully a mile from the
Beebe boat yards to the steel plants
Of the Baldt and Brylgon companies.
and the marsh land is to be filled in by
the river dredges. The depth of water
opposite New Castle is 81 feet. To add
to all this the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad has a terminal with a
good sized freight yard at New Castle
