SPORTING FEATURES OF WEEK
Championship Games of A. A. U. and
 Football Awaken Interest.

New York, Oct. 21.-The wide range of sports this week should afford something to entertain every one in whom rivalry and competition awaken interest.
 With the weighing in of the jockeys for the last race at Belmont park Sat urday practically came the close of the eastern horse racing season. Two more meetings in the metropolitan dis trict are scheduled, at Jamaica and Aqueduct and then the runners will journey to Bennings for short ses- sion and thence to New Orleans and California. In fact, number of own CTS already have sent their horses to and this week will see other ship ments.
 The feature of the eastern turf this season has been the success of James R. Keene's great stable. Up to the present MT. Keenes share of purses won has been $3S2, ,799, a greater sum than ever before has been taken in a single season by any stable. The greatest amount won by single horse in the Keene string was by his un beaten twO-year-Old colt Colin, a son of the famous Commando, who has taken eleven stake3 and one overnight event and brought home purses valued at S129,3S2.
 The officials of the National Horse show are hard at work arranging the details for the annual exhibition to be ,.held at Madison Square Garden Nov. 1923. The various classes already have been well filled, the entries en- bracing besides a majority of the best known ribbon, winners of the east, west and south of previous years d number of animals new to the tanbark ring that are said to be of high class. The entry books close next Saturday.
 That the indoor championship games of the A. A. U., to be held at Madison Square Garden Friday and Saturday next will be most successful and pro- ductive of excellent sport is indicated by the quality of the athletes who are entered. Besides all the good per formers from the various clubs in the metropolitan district the best men of the Boston A. C., the Chicago A. c. and other clubs are to try for the hon. ors.
 The golf feature for the week will be the annual tristate tournament at the Country club, BroOkline, Mass, for the Leslie cup between teams repre-

hCoSaVI NOs
 The fire was discovered by a man crossing the Third avenue bridge He turned in an alarm, and his cries brought Policeman Wolfe AS Wolfe reached the burning boat he saw Stew ard Quirk with his little daughter in his arms fall off the gangplank into the river. Wolfe plunged in after them. He reached Quirk who still had his daughter in his arms, as he was going down the second time, and, grasping him firmly around the shoul- ders, turned and began bucking the tide for the shore. After ten minutes of hard work Wolfe got near enough to the shore for the firemen, who had arrived, to reach him and, with Quirll and the little girl, was pulled up on the bank.
 The moment he was on dry land Wolfe told the firemen to look after the father and, taking the little girl in station house He fell exhausted to the floor as soon as he entered. The girl was quickly revived and after be- ing wrapped in dry clothing was sent to her home on Willis avenue. Wolfe, however, was completely exhausted, and his condition was so serious that he was taken to the Harlem hospital, where he was reported still in seri- ous condition last night.

The man was Trainor Every part of the superstruc- ture was afiame by this time. and po- licemen. firemen and sightseers on the pier had to watch helplessly while the unfortunate man stumbled wildly across the deck.
 Tt was the most heartrending sight I ever witnessed" said Battalion Chief OConnor. and l will never forget that poor fellows fight for life. saw him run on deck out of the cabin. way ing his hands in the air and look of terrible agony on his then unburned face. Trainor started for the port rail- but he was so weak and the torture he was enduring so intense that he fell in a heap before he had gone five feet. We thought the poor fellow was gone, but he was sE'l game. and despite the awful tOrtureS Strugglcd to his feet and tried to run in the other direction. Again he went step or two. threw up his hands and fell face downward on the burning deck. The poor fellow was dead"

While Stars VIII Be Missing, the

Georgetown's chances for winning
the most points at the Blue and Gray

IN past years there have been stars
at Georgetown, not only champions in
the District, but in the college world.
Arthur Duffy, Bernie Wefers. Holland
and Reilly nearly always won their
especial events. but there never have
been any weight men. hurdlers, pole

year.

ent plans are to enter the quarter mile
for which he is training assiduously
sullivan and Devine in the sprints,
OBoyle in the hurdles and Henernan
and O'Gorman in the shot-put. should
get a few points. Fitzgerald and Dew

COLLEGE SPORTS DEFENDED
Harvard Athlete Has Some PERTH
nent Remarks on Subject.
Abolition of intercollegiate Ath-
University at Cambridge.

c. G. Osborne, who made notable
showing at tackle on the Harvard eleven
last fall, sends 70 the Crimson, Harvard's
daily publication. strong defense OF in
tercollegiate athletics at the university.
Mr.. Osborne praises the competitive eIe-
ment Of sport highly, and argues that the
best men in any college are those who
ally some athletic endeavors 20 their
mental work The writer also presents
some aspects Of English university com
petitions. Osborne is the son Of the late
William H Osborne. American consul
general to London. and has intimate ia
miliarity with English sport
If we discontinue intercollegiate ath-
letics," says Osborne, what are we going
to have at Harvard in the future? VIII
those healthy youths who delight in ath-
letic exercise as a reaction from their
studies come here, or shall we have Har-
ward turned into a seminary for physically
weak men and useless 'grinds% Do you
suppose for one moment that a healthy
young man. fond Of physical exercise.
will desire 10 come to Harvard when the
only outlet for his athletic energy is TO
be found in running up Brattle street clad
in a heterogeneous costume. o. playing
pushbaH for his class on the shades OF
Soldiers Field?
i have heard on many occasions our
ideal of sport most UnfavorabIy con-
trasted with that at present existent in
England. Much of what has been said is
doubtless just criticism. The English do
enter more generally into athletics than
We do because there the opinion has
grown that it is possible for every man
to take some form of athletic exercise.
AT oxford and Cambridge there Is not
half the interest shown IN mere intercol-
legiate games that there is IN the uni
yersity teams, and members Of the uni
veTsity teams there have an infinitely
greater personal distinction than here at
Harvard. In other words. even at Oxford
and Cambridge. where there exists that
very love Of sport for sports sake that
our worthy reformers are trying to instiIl
into Harvard hearts. there Is need. and
an urgent and consistent need. for ath-
ietic stimulus.
In short. I believe I voice the senu-
ment of every healthy Undergrad
uate when I say that the discontinuance
of intercollegiate athletics seems TO me 10
be little short Of fatal TO Harvard's best
interests

RYAN Insist. ON Glenn Fnce.

When Tommy Ryan signs articles for
a fight he always inserts a clause in the
agreement that his opponent must be
close shaver two hours before entering
the ring. This precaution is taken be-
cause of an experience he had with
Mysterious Billy" Smith several years
ago Smith entered the ring with a
fOur-days' beard upon his chin. When
ever they clinched Smith would rub his
chin over Ryan's eye. About the sew

giving him a good beating.
