CLARENCE H. MACKAY IS
TO RACE ACROSS THE POND
Will Have Colt Entered in English
Derby, ST. Leger and Several
Other Big Foreign
Stakes

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Clarence ID.
Mackay, who retired from the turf IN
this country several years ago, Will DC
represented in the English Derby, the St.
Ieger, and other rich stakes on the other
side in 1909 by bay colt by imp. Med
dler-imp.; Won-by-Waiting by Galopln,
which was bred at Mr.. Mackay's Kingston
stud. where Meddler and Banastar are
now standing. This colt is a half-brother
10 imp. Marta, winner in this country,
and Morny. which won number of i'm
portant races in England. He Will be
shipped to England on Saturday and Will
be trained there by Sam Darling, who
nrepared the Derby winners Ard Patrick
and Galtee More.
These facts became known today at the
race track when Mr.. Mackay's yearllngs
were sold at auction. The Meddler-Wo on
by-Waiting colt caused much spirited
bidding, James B. Brady offering $4,000
for the youngster When Joseph Widener
of Philadelphia had made bid of $4,000
for the colt Auctioneer Easton announced
that Mr.. Mackay wished to reserve the
colt. whereupon Ed Upton bid $4,000 for
the owner, and the colt was knocked down
to him.
When Blue Book, colt by Handsome
British-Blue Blood, hence half-brother
to Britisher, won the Reapers' stakes re-
Gently it dawned upon the smart set that
s. T. Lawter, the owner OF the colt, had
put over one of his periodical good tnlngs'
The addition of Blue Book to the Reaper
did not cause any great amount of com
ment, because the smart people believs 20
that he did not have a chance to peat
such three-year-olds as Faust, Smiling
Tom and Littleton Maid.
Lawter, Lamar and James F. Carroll, in
whose names the colt was run, however
got small wagers on the ring, getting as
much as to 1. The tip got abroad in the
club house, and James A. Brady was
among those who took it, Brady betting
5000 at to l. There were many long-shot
players in the grand stand who took
chance with Blue Book simply for the
reason that he was an added starter, sc
that when he came home on the bit there
was plenty of enthusiasm. 1t was estl'
mated that the stable connections tool
all of $4,000 from the books. while tht
smart players and the public lost big
money on Faust and Littleton Maid.

"LET CARBURETER ALONE If
NOT CERTAIN OF TROUBLE
Designer of Autos Declares Delicate
Mechanism Receives Much
Blame 1t Does Not
Deserve

The modern carbureter has recently
come in for it's full share of attention
When the automobile, was more or less
in its infancy and the problem of proper
carburetion but indifferently understood
the tendency was to let well enough
alone. AS matter of fact it was long
step from the old surface type of carbu-
refer to the modern device, and while
the modern carbureter is extremely
flexible, designers are concentrating\ev -
cry effort upon producing one that will
be absolutely automatic at all speeds.
The following remarks from ]. D.
Maxwell, the designer of the Maxwell
car, are of interest In part Mr.. Max
we'll said: "a carbureter must be suf-
ficiently flexible to feed at all points of
throttle opening and at all engine
speeds at even or uniform mixture to
the cylinder and to produce thorough
ly homogeneous mixture. 1t has been
cus tomary to heat the air to a certain
extent before feeding 1t to the car
bureter. Theory and practice, however,
both seem to show that this is mis-
take. or perhaps should qualify the re-
mark and say that 1t can be carried to
a point where it is absolutely objection
able. The ideal conditions would be to
heat the fuel and not the air Particu-
larly is this true with some of the heav-
Ter distillates such as kerosene, alcohol
etc
There has beep recently a crude
oil imported that sells for approximate
ly one-half of what gasolipe brings, and
it is claimed that THIS works satisfac
torily in any carbureter which will
handle commercial gasoline. The aver
age motorist is too prone to blame ev
erything to the carbureter. AS matter
of fact, with carbureter in which
there are not too many delicate NOV
ing parts, there is little to get out of
adjustment. The carbureter is an ex-
cellent thing to let alone unless you are
absolutely certain that it is at fault

Coach Harvey Holmes of the Univer-
sity of Southern California has been
studying the list of available football
candidates with a view of selecting
first team-at least a paper preference
and announces the results: Runyon, CEN
ter; Bunker and Grail, guards; c. Rich

halves; Burek, fullback: Almy or Wirsch-

An examination of the selection by
Holmes reveals but two positions open
to the new candidates. These are half
and quarterback berths. Woolin, the
giant freshman, will almost to a GER
tainty land the half position, as is evil
denced by the choice of the coach. The
fight for quarter will prove interesting,
as the men trying for the remaining
vacancy are all players of considerable
experience on school teams.
The other nine positions are taken by
members of last years squad including
both monogram and second team players.
Be it thoroughly understood, however,
that Holmes has made his selections on
the basis of his knowledge of the play
ing abilities of each choice. This does
not infer permanency attached to the
various positions. On the contrary the
men selected must prove their superiority

SUGGEST NEW
AGREEMENT
U. S. C. COACH SENDS LETTER TO
COLLEGES
Holmes Declares Occidental Men Are
Unfar-President Baer Says, 1--WE
Will Send No Delegate to
Conference"

The football situation among the col
leges of the south is fast coming to
tangible issue. Preparation for the sea.
sons work at the various schools has
been to a certain extent delayed because
the three principal colleges, Occidental,
Pomona and u. s. c. have as yet en-.
tered into no agreement that is binding.
But solution for the whole dilemma
has been discovered by Coach Holmes of
u. S. G.
Two of the colleges, Pomona and Occi-
dental formed an agreement last Janu-
airy for the promotion of clean scholastic
sport and to eliminate as much as pos
sible professionalism among the players.
In order to bring about this end the for
nation of certain rules was necessary
No stringent rules or unreasonable re-
quirements were contained, but the
agreement was based mostly on athletic
regulations common among eastern
schools. Enrolment previous to the date
of the game was commonly desired. Oc-
cidental and Pomona took the initiative
simply because start in that direction
had to be made.
The other three institutions regularly
associated in athletics with the Leaders
were invited to join. st. Vincent's de-
clined, Whittier hesitated, and likewise
u. s. C..
Now the action of U. S. G. is under
stood BY this mornings mail the ath-
letic directors of the various institutions
will receive communications from
Holmes, as follows:
"In view of the fact that the colleges
desire to make certain changes in the
conference agreement, we ask that your
institution send one student representa-
tive and one member from the faculty to
confer. for the purpose of making new
regulations and to agree upon articles
for an intercollegiate agreement. The
meeting will be held at the University
club, 1863 South Hill street, on Saturday,
September %, at i o'clock.
"CARL w. HUNT.
Student Athletic Manager"
When seen at his residence last night.
President Baer of Occidental said:
"When this proposition reaches our
athletes it will be treated wit hthe great
est respect Occidental wishes to come
to the bes understanding with the other
colleges possible. We will refer the mis-
sive to the proper authorities for consid-
GRAFTON, but will send no delegates to a
meeting at the call of Coach Holmes"
Coach Holmes added, after the dicta-
ton of the letter:
Occidental is trying to freeze u. S. G.
and st. Vincents out of championship
chances by forming set of agreements
with Pomona without our knowledge My
team had to be curtailed last season, on
account of the stringent rules of the
agreement, until it was almost impossi-
BILE to form a representative team"
The Occidental boys declare that every
athletic candidate has clean record and
is willing to do clean work.

American bicycle exports, taking one
month against another, are scarcely
true trade barometers, as may be wit
messed by the figures for July last.
During that month an increase was
shown as compared with July last year
in the shipments to ten foreign coun-
tries, and slight falling off in the
case of eight other countries. The
most notable feature. however, in the
months report was the gain shown in
the export of wheels to Germany, as
in the six months preceding the trend
had all been in the contrary direction.
Gains were also shown In the volume
of shipments to Belgium, France. Italy
and the Netherlands. and on this side
in the bicycles exported to British
North America, the West Indies, Ber-
muda, Argent and Brazil. It is
worthy of note that gain was also
shown in favor of American manufac-
turers in the shipments to British Aus
tralasia. AS against this the loss
shown in the American trade with the
United Kingdom, Mexico and Japan is
by no means pleasant reading for
American bicycle manufacturers. japan
has been such a large patron of the
United States in this respect that her
slump is naturally viewed with alarm.

r. w. Carter to Go to Ken
lucky to Buy Breeding
Animals.

Fred w. Carter, who brought down
the magnificent herd of blooded bulls
described in the Advertiser some weeks
ago, leaves next week for Portland,
Oregon, and later will go to Kentucky.
In Oregon he will select some more
blooded cattle, and in Kentucky he
will select a number of blooded jacks
to bring to the Islands.
The Board of Agriculture and For
estry has given a good deal of con-
sideration, in connection with some of
the principal stock breeders of the Is
lands, to the possibilities of raising
mules here for the local supply. Al
great many mules are imported Into
the Islands every year for use on the
plantations To some it has appeared
that a pert of this supply might be
raised en- the ranches here. The board
has entered upon considerable COR
respondence with a view to seeing
what, if anything, could be done to
secure suitable Jacks. The Department
of Agriculture has been appealed to for
its expert advice and the officers or
the principal associations of breeders
of Jacks. But all have advised that
the only safe way is to send a conlpe-
tent agent to make the selection and
purchase of the animals desired for
breeding purposes.
1t has now been decided to do this
and Mr.. Garter has been selected as
the agent to send. He will be gone
several weeks.

Value of Pacific Mail Boats
to Honolulu 0utweighs
Esthetic Fancies.

Editor Advertiser: One OF the
the present time-one which is retard-
ing development more, perhaps, than
transportation facilities. Thousands of
dollars are being expended annually
on promotion work, and the greatest
obstacle the Promotion Committee has
to contend with is the lack of steam
ship accommodation. It is that above
all else which is holding back the vast
tide of tourist travel from these is
lands and diverting it elsewhere; and
tourists are the forerunners of those
who come to stay.
Not long since, the oldest Aneri-
can steamship company trading be-
tween this port and Australia with
drew its vessels, much to our disad-
vantage; and the public generally are
not aware how seriously the Pacific
Mail has considered a similar course
at least, SO far as Honolulu is con-
cerned.
To say that its threat to do so is a
bluff" and that it sayors of .the
big stick is nonsense. It is not a.
threat, but business proposition.
Do those esthetic gentlemen who talk
SO volubly about the identification of
the city approaches in the interest of
tourist travel realize how few tourists
there would be if the fine liners Of
the Pacific Mail were to drop Homo
lulu from their schedule? Do they
know how great is the preference
given by every class of passengers to
those vessels over all other means of
