Maurice DAILY, of New York, has
reached the conclusion that the time
has come for the players to drop the
lS.2 game and play ISL in future.

many more months some of these top

but the spectators will really not get
what they pay to sea game of bill

THE ISL game is just about the
right sort OF a problem for the play
ers, and it affords fine exhibition for
the onlOokers. But the other game
has become too easy. as is shown BY
the frequent large average-in two in

IS MORE SCIENTIFIC
New Game of Football Is Rap
idly Winning the Public
Favor.

While it is still little early in the
season to pass up on the effect OF the
new rules, the result of last Satur-
days games even around Grand Forks
left pretty good Impression, and gen
eral satisfaction is expressed with the
changes that have been made in the
game.
The chief object aimed At was 10
open up the play. and il is now quite
generally admitted that the new rules
will have this much desired result. In
the games PLAYED thus far in the East
there have been many more end runs
than usual, and careless massins and
piling up the players in scrimmase.
The variety OF attack also appears to
be greater, and the game is fully rs
fast and as scientific as il has been In
former wears.

there have been no serious accidents

some il may not seem the most in

will be at Grand Forks Nov. q. 1t

the coming games of especial interest
There will, without doubt. be special
trains for these games.
A telegram from Hamline reached
the university yesterday stating that
Hamline would be unable TO meet the
university football team next Satur-
day. The plan had been for the
North Dakota team to go to Hamline
this year and Hamline play here next
season. Whether North Dakota will
play Hamline at all this year is not
definitely known at this time.
There is every likelihood that Fargo
college football eleven will come to
Grand Forks tomorrow afternoon for
game at the university athletic field

and advise him by 10 o'clock whether

same memorable Derby. He had taken
share In one of the many Sweeps
that are promoted in that and every
other Australian town, with the result
that Jeddah came to him with the
premier prize of $4,000
In guinea sweep, organized among
the members of a well-knOwn London
club, the total subscription amounted
to $4,000, of which sum the lucky
drawer of Jeddah took as his share the
substantial prize of $500.
1t was some thirteen years ago that
Sir Hugo managed to snatch the blue
ribbon of the turf La Fleche by the
distance of a head-a mere matter If
inches-yet those few inches meant to
a desperate hacker. the sporting son
OF Manchester manufacturer the diff
ference between a loss of 81 900 and
the winning OF $4,000.
For it will be remembered that Sir
Hugo's chances of getting first past the
winning post were considered SO small
that the odds were 40 to against, at
was persuaded to back this outside.
Fortunately for him. though somewhat
to his establishment, Sir Hugo did con-
lyly depleted exchequer and enabling
a sure provision for the proverbial
rainy day.
To the ordinary reader it may be
news that John Gully. perhaps the
most famous prize fighter England
ever produced, made at least half =,
dozen fortunes out of the great Ep-
som event. Moreover, he was one Of
the only three race horse owners who
have ever succeeded in winning the
Derby three times ever since the in
stiution OF the race.
1t is generally believed that he
made more money out of it than any
other sportsman of his own or any
other day. On the occasion OF his
third win. with Andover. in the year
1854. he was said to have won in
wagers nearly $1,50O,OO0. but OF that
sum he was able to obtain payment
OF only about $450,000.
On the Derby alone his total win
nings cannot have been much less
than $2,500,000, and he died with up
ward OF $10,000,000 practically all Of
which he made out of horses and horse
| racing.
When Gladiateur, some forty years
ago, drove the French hackers OF this
animal frantic with delight by winnin..
the blue ribbon OF the English turf,
some of them won very substantial
fortunes, and could. therefore. afford
to crow, particularly as this was the
first occasion on which French horse
ever succeeded in winning the Derby.
The only consolation that England
gained from it was that the animal
was ridden by an English jockey,
It's owner. the Count de LAGRANGE,
was said tc have netted close uDon
100000 by his horses victory. and
one or two other Frenchmen who
backed their country's candidate made
upward of $4,000 apiece.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-10-12

Each year there are more fortunes
won and lost on the Derby than on any
other race in the world, and the money
that annually changes hands over that
great classic event has been estimated
at upward OF $15,OOO,0O0.
For enormous individual wins the
sensational Derby OF 1867 undoubtedly
holds the record On this Henry Chap
lin was reported to have won as much
as $4,000 by the extraordinary VIC
tory OF his much jeered colt Hermit,
and OF the few other persons who
backed this rank outsider there were
five who were said to have made as
much as $125.OOO each.
Nor can these huge winnings be at
all wondered at when 1t Is remembered
that the long odds of &c to against
this horse were freely given. and, in
deed. in most cases offered in vain.
But in addition to the instances al
ready quoted there were some highly
sensational wins. 1t is on record that
a sporting purveyor of meat in one Of
the northern suburbs of London made
more out of horse flesh that day than
he did in al his life out of beef. He
must have backed Hermit with all the
money he was worth or could raise,
for he netted the enormous sum of
100000 by the animals victory.
Another notable win was that of an
inscriptions solicitors clerk, who.
borrowed" from his employers cash
box a round sum of $500 to speculate
on the race. In this way he made for
himself little short of $4,000. and was
able to replace the borrowed" money
before its abstraction could be de-
tected. Like all others who put their
money on Hermit fortune favored him
as it does only once in a lifetime.
Pretty much the same thing hap
pened in the 1898 Derby, when all the
money won went into the pockets OF a
mere handful of people. 1t was what
may be called a bookmakers' race, for
Jeddah was beyond question the rank
est outsider that ever wone the Derby.
According to a London sporting jour-
nal. one bookmaker cleared fortune
of upward of $250,O0O by this quite un-
expected result.
AS some readers will remember. the
odds were no less than 100 to l, and
the fortunate few who put their money
on this horse experienced better luck
than they ever will again. A certain
nobleman who was induced, some
what against his will, to wager $500
on Jeddah found to his establishment
ut the conclusion of the race that he
had made cool $4,000 by his ven
ture.
The same agreeable surprise awaited
London publican. who always en-.
deavors to have $3.50 on the Derby
But on this occasion. by backing the
outsider, he. was able to more than
make good as his previous losses or
| favorites. for he won the substantial
sum OF $4,000.
