ity that 1t would. He does not know
VanBuren Reeves, who has been look
ing over sites for race course at
Washington and has never heard OF
him. nor is there any member of the
Automobile Club of America of that
name. Mr.. Norris said that the sub
ject of buying land for a race course
had never been considered by the
clubs board of governors. nor had
any OF the governors ever discussed
the matter with him. Even il there
was any chance Of the A. C. A. going
into such an undertaking. Mr.. Morris
said that Washington represented
dreamland. so far as its adaptability
for any such purpose is concerned.
He added that there is not even one
continuous stretch of good road be-
tween this and Washington, which
would prove an insurmountable STUN
bling block In the way of any proposed
automobile course near the nations
capital. Mr.. Morris gave it as his
individual opinion that there would
be private course arranged before
next Spring, over which it would be
possible for subscribers to drive their
own touring cars at fifty miles an hour
without hindrance, If they wished, but
there was not the remotest possibility
that 1t would be as far away from
New York as Washington. nor that the
Automobile Club of America would be
financiallE interested In it.

Baltimore, Oct. 22,-More horses
will be on the ground for the coming
fall meeting OF the Maryland Jockey
club at Pimlico than ever attended a
meeting in Baltimore. Superintend-
ent Brennan has received applications
for stable room that will completely
fill the stables. and late corners will
have to take their chances finding
accommodations outside of the track.
There are many available stalls to be
had. however. as in the immediate
VICINITY of Pimlfco are three or four
trotting tracks. at which owners o,
runners may put up their thorough
breds.
The officials of the club are pleased
with the way in which the stake fix
lures have filled. They believe that
this indicates higher class of racing
than Baltimore has seen in many
years. Nearly all the best steeple-
chasers in training are entered in
the Pimlico autumn steeplechase, and
as there will be jumping race each
day, the lovers of cross-country sport
witness their faNorite sport than has
ever before been presented. With the
meeting of the United Hunts so close
ly preceding the Pimlico meet the
owners of chasers are counting on
more than months continuous rae
ing for their horses. and the jumping
division ought to go into winter quar-
tiers with good sized bankroll.
A feature of the cross-country
events OF course will be the presence
of many amateur riders in the saddle.
Dion Kerr will bring his stable over
to race through the meeting and will
be up On on his horses whenever pos
sible. CORTLAND Smith will also race
his stable Of good "leapers," which
includes that good horse, Goldfleur.
AS usual. Mr.. Smith will ride occa-
sionally, though he will depend most
ly on his trainer, Silas Veitch. Nat
urally, the chance the see the anna
tours ride will attract large crowds
of society folk. Besides the steeple-
chase the gentlemen riders will have
other opportunities to show their skill
in races on the FIAT. The Country
club selling stakes has attracted a
fine field, including such good ones as
Bryan. Cahichon. Simple Honours,
The Clown. Spring, Cary. the horse
that defeated the great Oiseau last
summer; Jake, Disobedient, Royal
Window and Weirdsome.
Two-year-olds will have q chance to
win their winter oats in several good
races. The Walden has filled we'll and
some good colts and FLIES will con-
test for the $1,000 purse. Altogether
1t looks as If Pimlico would enjoy the
best meeting it has had since the re-
organization of the Maryland Jockey
club.

by a slight margin that Mr.. johnson

there were that many races on the

1t seems only the other day that

TEAMS ARE PICKED
Football Prospects Begin to
Assume Tangable
Shape.

The football prospects at the uni
versities of the Big Five" of the East
are at last beginning to assume def
mite and tangible shape.
The first three weeks of 4 season
are always of preliminary charac-
ter. The size of scores are never con-
siderei by the coaches at this time.
Their interest is centered on learning
which is the best man for certain po-
sitions, so that no time will be lost
in experimentation when the cham
pionship games come around
The big Eastern elevens have
emerged from this period and now.
with few exceptions. the makeup of
the leading teams has been determin-
ed. There will be many changes made
from time to time, but, generally
speaking. the time of experimentation
is past. From this time on all ener-
gies will be devoted to building up
an offense best suited to the new
rules.
The work of picking the teams has
been facilitated greatly by the fresh
man rule which has barred all new
men. The teams of 1906 are made up
of the same men who we're eligible
last year. The newcomers will have
to wait until 1907 before they can rep
resent varsity teams.
The fact that the leading teams
have been picked earlier than usual
ought to be great aid to coaches in
perfecting team play. This is espe-
cially gratifying this year because of
the new rules which introduced so
many novel formations to ingenious
coaches
OF all the big eastern teams Prince
ton and Cornell seemed to have the
situation sized up the quickest. Both
the Tigers and the 1thicans had their
present team picked inside of 10 days,
and thus secured substantial ad-
vantage over their rivals. Harvard

Jake Stahl to Coseh.
urbana, ILL.,, Oct. 22.--Head Coach
1indgren of Illinois will have the as
sistance of Jake Stahl and Jimmy
Cook. two old-time gridiron stars of
the Illini. who have promised to come
to Illinois to field to air in rounding
the state team into shape for the game
with Michigan in two weeks. The ap-
pearance of the old-timers will be ex-
tremely welcome and It Is believed
that 1llionis' chances will be greatly
improved.
1t is also hoped to secure Fred Low
enthal. former head coach, for few
days work with the team. A long
formation drill was given the squad
today and especial attention directed
to the backs as a result of their work
against Wabash.
There was much talk today about

bdoar jumper who left last week after
a months attendance here. to enter

Donahue for saving them errors on

Davis deserves the laurel at short.
Tannehill made fine showing in
three games. but Davis was superb
on the defense and a terror to the
Cubs pitchers. Tinker marred his
record by failing to cover second
twice in the final game.
The. most spectacular play in the
series was made by Davis with the aid
of Donahue in the eighth inning OF
Saturdays game. With two out, Is

ard beat out hit, just out of Robes

Hoffman Excelled for Cubs.

throws were sensational and he never
missed chance to help his team win.
His wonderful work stamps the SUBJ

at the bat was felt by his team.

Baseball

COmlskey'S White SOx, to whom
championship caliber was not conced-
ed by rivals. critics or patrons until
they had won the American League
pennant for 1906, became the worlds
champions by defeating the hitherto
invincible Cubs four games out of six.
The American League representatives
were not considered in the class of
their rivals in the most important
baseball contest of the year by Ma
tional League partisans. who laid odds
as high as 3 to on their favorites.
At no stage of the series was the
advantage with Chances great team.
The opening game was won by the
Sox, with Altrock opposing Brown.
The Cubs evened up on the following
day. but lost the third game. The
Cubs victory in the fourth game once
more deadlocked the series. The
White Sox again forged ahead on Sat
urday and on Sunday cinched the
championship of the world.
AltrOck Premier Pitcher.
The scores show the relative
strength of the teams, but statistic.

individuals. Altrock was the premier
pitcher of both stats. The great
sOuthpaw went the route in two
games and his only defeat was due in
q great measure to Hahn's failure to
try for ball from Chances bat that
fell safe just out of Isbells reach.
Many contend that Hahn could not
have reached 1t, and claim his fail
ure to make an effort was because he
lost 1t In the sun. Chance scored tho
only run in the game that Altrock
lost on Evers' hit to left.
Killing was not in good form on the
opening day and Sullivan showed up
poorly on the second day. but the
work of the former with and behind
the bat was much better than his riv-
ais. Sullivan was handicapped by
