County Club of Pimiico Selling Stakes
this afternoon at Pimlico in one of the
prettiest finishes Of a day that was re-
plete with hard-fought races, which were
enjoyed by A big crowd. Annetta Lady,

out the pace TO within forty yards Of the
wire, where Welrdsome, under a clever
ride by Hagan, just got up in time to win
by a short head.
In the first event Doc Kyle. driven to
the limit, defeated Meddlesome Boy a
head. The latter would have won in a
few more strides. Again, in the third
HOoray just managed 20 nose out Belle
Strome. Hagan. who had been on the
ground for two days evidently profited
by his discipline, for he rode a great
finish, squeezing through on The rail and
snatching victory In the last jump.
The steeplechase. the Elkridge Hunt

took the lead on the second turn and gal
loped home lengths to the good. Only one
horse fell. Susannah furnished the sur
prise Of the afternoon. the Filigrane FLY

The Penn-Lafayette game will be
played Saturday. II was originally sched-
uled for Nov. 3.
Yale can no longer boast that Of the
big college elevens she is the only one
that has not been scored on.
Sammy Morse is out of place at full
back He cannot get moving as fast as
when he was playing half back.
There IS a plan for a paid staff of foot
ball officials being talked Of. as colleges
wish to avoid employment of incompe-
tent men.
For the first time in the history of the
PriHceton-YaIe football the Tigers will
offer odds on their team, claiming it as
the best eleven in the country.
Yales football men decline to be cast
down over their failure to play in first
class style against West Point on Sat

but nevertheless won from Princeton and
Harvard. Il was Jim Hogans aggre-
g-tiOn, too
Taking it all in all, it is a toss-up as
90 which team will win the Harvard
Yale game They appear at the present
time TO be pretty well matched
With the Princeton game less than
two weeks of and the Harvard-Yale
game following the next week. the foot
ball season may be said to have reached
its final stage.
Yale showed no alarming weakness in
two departments where weakness was eX-
Uecfed. The middle of the line stood up
well. and Veeder showed well in punting,
kicking for good distances.
If Lockwood was little more careful
r. making his tackles there is nothing
in the Crimson eleven that can touch
him. Coach Reid viii do well to keep
him in the varsity back field.
Mt Pleasant was the only Indian who
did not come out of the Syracuse game
without injury. His, however, is not
serious, and he will be sure TO be as
prominent as last year when the Indian
strike the Stadium on Saturday.
There is talk of q game early in De-
ce1nbe~ between SwaTthmore and PennsyI-
vania for the State championship, this
in case both teams win all of their re-
naming games. Pennsylvania State has
lost one game. while Swarthmore mas not
lost any, so it appears that the leeway
of one defeat ought TO be allowed 10
Swarthmore. The latter has to TACKLE Cor
