SHIELDS TO RACE
HOLSCHER AT BENNING

NEW YORK, October S.-A couple of
years ago William Shields took a maiden
called Ben Crockett to Benning and won
the Maximum stakes, three miles. the long
est race of the eastern season. with him.
Last season, Ben Crockett, running under
the coors of the Queen City stable of Can
ada, won the Maximum stakes second
time, but not until he had taken the Wash
ngton cup, two miles and quarter, the
best distance event of the Benuing fall
session.
Now that Holscher has won the Brigh-
ton cup, showing that there is more in
him than the experts were willing to adj
nit a little while back. Shields is deter
mined to try for the Maximum and the
Washington cup with him this fall Also
Hoscher will be named for the Benning
special race of one mile and a half, for
three-year-olds and over
Entering this horse at Benning is well
worth while" Shields said at Brighton
yesterday, because he is a better horse
than Ben Crockett ever was. He can run
faster than Ben and he can go farther.
l did rot take a foolish chance when L
bought the right to race him in the Brigh-
ton cup. l believed he had better than an
outside chance. because he had shown me
in races and in work that he liked dis

be beaten. knew that he was ready, and
l felt that if either Proper or the mare
stopped in front he would beat them. Hol-
scher always runs well for Noone Why
cannot tell. Neither can any one else. He
seems to understand Iy boy. and the boy
knows him better than any of the alleged
star riders l have put upon his back.
No man congratulated Shields more hear
tily on Holscher's victory than did George
w. Langdon, the owner of Flip Flap. Lang
don said he had heard alleged good judges
declare that Flip Flap lost because Shaw
had made his run too quickly. He. how
ever did not see it that way He thought
Shaw rode well-judged race, and that
Noone had made as many runs with Hol-
scher as he had with Flip Flap. Flip Flap
undoubtedly did the best she could under
the circumstances. She was sore before
she went into the race, and she was sore
after she came out She was simply not
as good as she had been in the early
spring.

RACING SHIFTS
TO BELMONT PARK

NEW YORK, October S.-Again the rae
ing scene changes From Brighton by the
sea to Belmont Park on Hampstead plains,
the thoroughbreds went their way yester-
day. and for two weeks they will hold forth
at the latter place
1t is the last big race meeting of the year
this one which begins today. OF course
there are two subsequent ones at the ia
maica and Aqueduct tracks. which continue
to the end of the legal day of closing in this
state, November 49, but both are merely
secondary affairs and all the first-cIass
horses retire with the end of the sport at
Belmont Park.
Although this is the tail end of the sea-
son, and many of the rich stakes have be-
come a thing of the past there are still a
few important races to be decided. The Ma
tron stakes will bring out the best of the
colts and FLIES in the two-year-old division
and the Harbor Hill stake will serve to
show the most promising of the three-year-
olds that will strive for honors between the
flags for the remainder of their racing ca
reers. The racing at this track, therefore
promises much to turfmen.
At the track today new st arting machine
will be introduced for the first time If it
works successfully 1t is the intention of the
Jockey Club stewards to advise the various
racing associations to adopt it. 1t Is the
invention of Mr.. Kinney, who works for
Harry Payne Whitney. It's new features
are unique in their way and promise much
to improve the present method of starting
By the new device. the barrier moves along
slowly in front of the horses heads for
about ten feet and then suddnly mounts
upward and onward away from them by
means of inclined wire running from the
rails to the top of pole, ten feet high. In
its flight, the barrier moves without making
the slightest noise This in itself is big
advantage, all other starting chimes
make a whirring- sound which tends to
brighten horses.
1t will be seen from this description of
the new machine that it's advantages per-
NIT moving walking start.
For three years Mars Cassidy has tried
by every means at his command to secure
permission from the Jockey Club stewards
to allow him to send his horses away while
in motion. He has cOntended vigorously
that he was unable to do his best work and
send the horses away in an equitable man
ner from a standing start.
Now Cassidy has a chance to make good
all his claims. With the new gate he will
be able to line his horses up we'll, walk them
for few feet and when they are In mo-
ton and in a perfect line to release the bar
rier. If he succeeds. and sends his horses
away on even terms. racegoers will be
pleased TO know that the worst part of rae
ing, the starting feature. is no longer a
menace to the full enjoyment Of the sport.

COMPARING THE
WHITE SOX AND CUBS

Here are some figures showing what the
two Chicago teams, which will battle this
week for the worlds championship, have
done this season. The figures are all in
favor of the Cubs. particularly in the bat
ting department. The Cubs are not only
hard, but free hitters, while the White Sox,
who rank last in batting in the American
League, are more of the jabbing. tight. high
tension style of hitters Yet they are re-
sourceful, game players and especially good
at run getting. Both sides are strong in
the box. Batting averages of the two teams
are as follows:

RELIGION BROADENING.

The Interchurch Conference, which
held recent meeting in New York
city, marks gratifying spirit in the
Cancellation and cooperation of the
Christian churches Of this country.
Before adjournment, another general
meeting was named for December /,
1908, and every four years there
after. In the meantime, it is pro-
posed to have an executive commit
tee that will take charge of all mat
ters requiring attention prior to the
meetings of the convention. This
executive committee hasn power to
frame any creed or control action,
but is intended solely to promote
good fellowship and give friendly
undenominational advice
1t transpired at this meeting that
after all the creeds were not so far
apart. and they only differ in the
modes ofexpression. Upon the fun
damcntal matters that constitute
the essence Of religion, there is prac-
teal harmony. 1t is not intended to
sweep away the barriers that divide
churches. Instead, theolos ians recog-
nize the necessity of maintaining de-
nominations, so as to meet the exact
ideas of the religious trend Of differ
ent persons.
We are all born with independent
