Stages NEW IDEAS.
Likes to Beat the Game With Buck
ing Rules.

likes 10 Heat the Game with Buck
ing Rules.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-A. Alonzo
Stage, the wizard of the gridiron, is
devoting a great deal of time to stra-
getic study of the new game" OF
which he is one of the strongest sup
porters. It is a fad with Stage to
evolve new ideas to make scoring
difficult, and then with diagrams to
mathematically study out plans of
how to heat the rules. 1t is this plan
of careful figuring out the weak
points in the defense as an army
general would plan an attack that
mas won more games for the Maroons
than brute force. Stage is at work
now, and it is said that he will
spring many new tricks this season.
A few years ago Stage sprung the
heavy quarterback idea and his
who back" plays, and the ingenius
devices he framed last fall put many
of the middle west football tutors at
sea. Veterans of his 1905 team de-
clare the Maroon coach has a large
variety of plays left over from last
fall-plays he never used. Most Of
them, they say, were planned for the
game with Minnesota Many of these
plays were combinations of triple
passes, crisscrosses, long forward
passes and deceptive straight plunges
through the line after it seemed as
If the attack would be at the oppon-
ent's end. The linemen were worked
in variety of quick shifts In which
the backfield often assumed new po-
sitions.
1t was a common criticism last fall
that too many chances were taken
with the forward pass, but Stage
seems to have eliminated some of
the chances for mishaps by sending
not one man ahead to watch the for
ward pass, but two or three men. In
this way the quarterback or the man
passing the ball is able to use his
eyes and intelligence and direct the
ball to the player with the best OPP
portunities to get away with it.

SMALLEST TURF RIDER.

NEW YORK, Sept. 81. Jockey
Albert Sumter is the baby of the sad
die. He weighs about sixty-five
pounds. Cumter is probably the
smallest boy riding in actual races
for hard cash and glory in the met
ropolitan circuit. He is conner, too
"a lad whose riding is of a pro-
nounced character, and has lately at
tracted the attention of racegoers as
we'll as turfmen generally. Sumter
may not develop into wonder, but
he is just turning 16 and with few
generous pounds added to his anat-
omy may within the next year or two
shoot to the front as rider of high
ability Such, at least, is the pre-
diction of many expert turfmen.
Sumter is under contract to Jim
N.Y. Mccormick, one of the shrewd-
est of turfmen. Mccormick would as
soon intrust his great racer, Glorifier,
in race to Sumter's guidance, as he
would to the hands of Miller The
lad was born in Harlem.

WEST POINT READY.

WEST POINT, Sept. 27.--West
Points football season has officially
begun with Capt. H. G. Smither. Fiji
teenth United States cavalry, as
head coach. Captain Smither played
quarterback on the army team in
1897 and was an assistant coach last
year, but was ordered to another part
after he had been with the team two
weeks. His assistants this year are
Bob Forbes and Lieut.. G. r. Thomp-
son, Thirteenth infantry, and who
played at right guard on the 1904
team. Captain Smither is confident
of successful team this year, for OF
last years men only three, Sultan,
center; Captain Hill, halfback. and
Christy, guard, graduated, and in
the new fourth class there is much
good material for filling these va
cancies.

AUTO TOURING
contest ARRANGED
CHURCH WILL GIVE HANDSOME
TROPHY; RACE TO BE HELD
In AUGUST, 1908

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-A new
auto touring contest will be held in
1908 for the trophy offered by A. w.
Church. The preliminary steps taken
by the giver show that he appre-
ciates the necessity for intelligent
rules and regulations sufficient
time ahead of the contest, so that
everyone can be prepared. To this
end Mr.. Church has appointed tech
nical body, consisting of his friends
and associates, who are to submit
plans and rules for the run. They
are to be given out sometime in
August, specifying the date and the
conditions of the deed of gift. The
route has been practically determined
upon, and cannot help but prove at
tractive to every one. The start
will be made from New York, going
to Hartford, where arrangements will
be made to meet the governor of
the State of Connecticut. From there
to Boston, where similar arrange
ments will be made with the execu-
tive of that state; Boston to Concord,
also meeting the governor; from AZ
bany to Columbus, o., meeting the
executive of that state; from Co
iumbus to Charleston, w. w., Charles
ton to Richmond; Richmond to
Washington, Washington to Harris
burg, Harrisburg to Trenton, and
from there returning to New York.
1t is Mr.. Church's intention that
full and complete report shall be
handed to the chief executive of each
state, explaining the conditions of the
roadside whole to serve as an OBJ
ject lesson to the lovers of the motor
car as well as to the general pub
lie, of its usefulness. Mr.. Church
desires that all those interested in
automobiling, who may have any
suggestions to make, should state
such suggestions to him in writing.
The trophy itself will be attractive
and beautiful, goldsmiths having al
ready been asked by Mr.. Church to
submit designs appropriate for it,
This run should take prominent
part in American events of this char
acter, as Mr.. Church has been con
Nsistent student of the motor car from
PTS inception, and has participated in
every important event in one way OF
another, The tour will be held in
the early part of the year.

SERVES GOOD PURPOSE.
Writer Says Baseball Is National
Safety Valve.


The fundamental reason for the
popularity of baseball is the fact that
il is national safety valve. Vol
taire says that there are no real
pleasures without real needs. Now
a young. ambitious and growing ma
ton needs to let off steam" Base
ball furnishes the opportunity.
Therefore it is real pleasure. But
the outsider comprehends nothing of
this. Baseball" he argues loftily,
is game for people whose minds
are vacant. whose Imagination Is
dull, who, of necessity. seek diver
sion because they have not enough
soul leavening to be company for
themselves.
In the face of what occurred at the
opening game. at the Polo grounds

knows how to gainsay this aspersion.

7 The thousands who gather on the
big New York race tracks during tn
summer months and hand over their
money daily to the men on the high
stools, with hopes of getting it back
and more, too; have little idea of the
tremendous amount of business the
layers do in a season Take such
'stores" as those conducted by Tom
Shaw, Sol Lichtenstein and others,
who are on day in and day out from
April Is to November Is. These lay
ers will easily handle $2,OO0,000 on
the seasons play. This is lot of
money, and there are very few mer-
camille business houses that can
handle that amount of money in six
months There are at least twenty
books ION the line" at the New York
race tracks which do $2,00O,00O
business. There are fifty other lay
ers whose tab at the end of the sea-
son will show more than a million
handled during the season. Fifty
others will show $750,000, and from
that down to $250,000, which is per-
haps about as low an amount as is
handled. Then with the "back line"
and the "fielders," nearly 200 in all,
it will be easily estimated that in the
daily battle between the public-.and
the layers something like $500, 000,-
900 passes from hand to hand These
figures look big, but they are correct
and will be verified by any prominent
layer. Two-thirds of this amount are
markers, to be settled the next
day. OF course, some of these mar
kers are never taken up and there
are few books which are not carry
ing dead markers" at the end of the
season, but the percentage of Nwelch-
ings" are SO small in comparison to
the sum Of real money handled that
the layers are not badly crippled by
the losses.
Turf nomenclature, like that on
the baseball field, is yearly being
added to, until now it has almost suf-
ficient words to fill an ordinary-sized
book. Such words as ION the chin
straps" "breezing," 'won laughing"
"towroped, IAN hour the best, ;"
boat race" ''shoo in" Gin apothe-
cary's handicap" HOP horse and
big train,' are very common now,
and their uses, applied to horse rae
ing, no longer attract attention from
turf followers. New words were
added to this list this summer. They
are gave instead Of "favorite;"
driver" and chauffeur, instead OF
Jockey 1t is quite the thing now
to hear one dyed-in-the-wool regular
asking another who is driving" such
and such horse, or who is so and
SOS chauffeur" 1t is no longer the
custom to ask another what he is
playing. It's now what are you
taking?' and if the party addressed
is wagering on the betting choice his
answer will be THE fave Just who
originates these words is a mystery,
but they are heard on the tracks one
day, and by the next are being used
without any one stopping to think
who could have.coined them.
