letic League and Y. NJ. c. A. viii be out
in the cold and with no place to compete
during the lopg winter months.
A prominent A. A. L. official said yes
terday: Il suppose the Military Athletic
League is itching for another exchange OF
nostilities with the A. A. u. Well, let
them FURNISH up their gatling guns any
minute We're ready for the attack. and
this time the warriors will smell smoke In
dead earnest. Last year the A. A. Y. re-
sponded to the flag of truce rather sottiy:
this time the fight will be to the last
ditch. The very moment that resolution
goes into effect the A. A. L. will with
draw the alliance. then the military league
can go it alone. and the athletes VINO
want to side with the league Will be de-
barred by us forever from amateur COM
petition"
When seen about the pending disruption
President James E. Sullivan Of the A. A.
L. said: Il have heard about this resolu-
ton, but l don't believe that the Military
Athletic League will do such thing. 1t
will be a bad thing for sport If this row
should come on again. 1t Will be Dad
thing for the smaller clubs. which cannot
afford to go to Madison Square Garden
and which could hold meets in the ar
mories Especially 1t would be great
loss to such organizations as the lnterset-
Element A. A., the church, Sunday school.
Catholic and other leagues to be debar-
red from holding sports In the armories.
These young boys want some place TO ex-
ercise in during the winter. and It is a
pity If they cannot have 1t for the next
few months. Outside Of the regimental
athletes. the school boys. police. f1remen
and letter carriers. there are 5000 active
athletes around New York city all eager
for competition. OF course the Metropoli-
tan Association. the New York A. c..
Irish A. A. C.. and Pastime A. c. will go
to Madison Square Garden. but these
meets will hardly be enough for the big
crowd of athletes"

well. suppose that will be the end OF
it. was the answer, ''but hope the trou-
BILE never reaches that stage"
Last year the A. A. U. and Military
Athletic League had . tilt over the ath-
letes OF the I'd Signal Corps who were sus-
pended by the A. A. U. When the Mill
tary Athletic League was slow to recog-
nize the ruling the A. A. U. Immediately
slapped out q mail vote to have the al
lance between the organization broken.
This mail vote was returned without a
dissenting vote. but the Military Athletic
League apologized and the mail vote was
reScinded.

PLAYED CENTRAL
OFF ITS FEET
Western High in Splendid Ex-
hibition Scores Easy
Victory.

The Western High School team not only
defeated the Central High School eleven,
but actually played them off th1r feet
yesterday afternoon at American League
Park, the final score being 10 to O.
1t was Western all the way, the Cen
trail boys not having chance. The losers
considerably outweighed the Red and
White team from across the Rock creek
but this did not deter the plucky little
fellows. who pulled off good end runs and
vent through the big line men of the
Blue and White for long gains.
Guy. the diminutive little quarterback of
the Western team. deserves much credit
for his teams victory. He not only
scored the first four points, when he
kicked a goal from the field, but judged
his plays we'll and ran his team in first
class style.
Oberchain, SchofieId and Robson played
well for the winners, and, with Guy,
formed. an interference which the Central
boys were unable to solve. Smith and
Garner. the two ends, were fast in getting
down the field. and downed the Central
runner, after a punt, before he could
hardly get started.
Western scored it's first four points
when Guy dropped q goal from the n
yard line, which seemed to take all
the heart out of the Central boys, as they
had been instructed to endeavor to keep
this little fellow from getting within dam
ger distance of the posts, as his merits as
a drop kicker had been heralded about
the school circles for some time.
The last six points for the winners came
when Central tried forward pass on the
3O-yard line, near the Western goal, but
Robson intercepted the play and took
the ball out Of the air and ran behind his
goal posts for a touchdown. Robson
then kicked goal.

BETTING AT PIMLICO
IN OLD OPEN WAY

BALTIMORE. October 24.-'Old Pimli-
co.. one of the most noted race tracks in
the country. threw open its gates this
afternoon. The racing meeting at this
course promises to be the banner one in
its history. What has been New York s
loss in racing way has been Maryland's
gain, and record-breaking crowd OF
Gothamites will help make the attendance
memorable one.
Turfmen from all parts of the country
have been arriving with every train The

who nave been restricted for four months
to oral suggestions with the possible
trimmings of a bluecoated officer of the
law on the side. There is race track
betting law in Maryland and as it has
not been abused by the men Interested in
turf AFFAIRS there Is no opposition to the
sport.
There are forty knights of the chalk
and rubber on the line today. The appli-
cation for stands exceeded that number,
but the management determined to re-
strict the list 10 forty hookmakers. Even
with this curtailment it will be a record
breaking list. for in the past not more
than tWenty-eight pencilers have been
on hand at the meetings. Nearly all the
prominent racing men, owners. jockeys,
bookmakers and plungers have decided
to make the Pimlico track their rendez-
vous for the next two weeks.
With the Benning track closed and its
fall meeting abolished, the racing meet
ing here will take its place Many Of the
hunting set of Washington have signi-
fed their intention of paying Pimlico a
visit. 1t is quite in the line of possibilities
that Miss Elkins. who is engaged to wed
the Duke of the Abruzzi, will pass an
afternoon at the track. She is a member
Of the exclusive Chevy Chase Club of
Washington and devoted admirer OF

The stables are now filed to overflow
ing with race horses. From now on to
the Wlnd-up of the sport the clerk of the
course is certain to have a large list OF
Nominations for each race. Owners have
come from Kentucky and New York to
take Fart in the meeting. desiring above
all else the opportunity to bet on their
horses chances rather than for big purses.

BOXING BRIEFS.

Johnny Coulon of Chicago. the legiti-
mate bantamweight champion of the
world. has finally got on bout in New
York city. He was matched last night

bantamweight. for six rounds in the main
bout at the stag of the Roman A. c. to
be held a week from next Monday night.
They will battle at 1O5 pounds. weigh in
at pm. O'Leary ought to make Coulon
fight his hardest. as he is a fast lad and
a good puncher.
Al Lippe received a letter from Abe
Attell. the featherweight champion last
night. in which he stated that he would
arrive in New York in bout three weeks
for the purpose Of getting on a fight with
some of the good teatherweights in that
vicinity. Let us hope that Abe changes
his mind and remains out on the coast
as the fight fans have not forgotten the
bout he put up with Matty Baldwin not
SO long ago.
There is not a particle of truth in the
report from San Francisco a few days

VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE
MoREHoUSE COMET BETWEEN
LYRE AND THE SWAN.
Flammarion Declares Earth in No
Peril, as Comet Is 100000
Miles Away.

PARIS. October 24.-M. Camille Flam-
marion, the astronomer. announces that
persons with good sight can now see the
Morehouse comet with the naked eye if
they know exactly where to look for It,
NJ. Flammarion has been making OBJ
servatious of the comet at the Juvisy
observatory, and says 1t Is now reaching
its maximum intensity. Its position Is
and the Tyre.
The nucleus of the comet has more than
thirty-six times the diameter of the earth.
and the tail extends for 100000 kilo-
meters. 1t is travelling at the rate OF
10000 kilometers $4,000 miles, an hour.
The nucleus looks like an agglomeration
The tall Is formed of dust and gas.
NJ. Flammarion says the latest photo
graphs of the comet show an extraor-
binary development of the tail and its
dislocation from the nucleus. In new
photograph, taken October 4, two prin-
cipal tails and four secondary tails are
seen. In another photograph taken Oc-
tober 10 is shown a dslocation of the
tail no less extraordinary than that OBJ
served in the photograph of October 1.
These metamOrphoses and this work OF
molecular disaggregation render it easy to
conceive that the comet may have been
broken into pieces and may vanish en-
tirely into space, as Bielas comet did.
This wandering life of comets travelling
obliquely through space and cutting
through the orbits of planets in every
direction is not without peril. More than
one has met with destruction, and such
is probably the final destiny of all COM
cts. There Is no fear. however, of this
comet coming into collision with our
planet. 1t Is more than 150.000OO0 kilo-
Yno v1oilpgl from fba earth
and Is now beginning to increase that
distance. It will be in perihelion Deem
Der %. and will pass round the sun at .
distance of al .OOO,OO0 klometers. 1t
will then speed away into the depths OF
infinite night.

HOLY NAME EASY
FOR THE PREPS
Georgetown Youngsters Run
Up Big Score on 0p-
p0nents.

In a game replete with sensational for
ward passes and long end runs the
Georgetown Props yesterday defeated the
eleven of the Holy Name Athletic Club
to the tune of 80 to O. The contest came
off on the Prep field before a crowd of
some 200 spectators, and, although 1t was
too one-sided to be exciting. yet 1t was
made interesting by the many intricate
plays which the Props executed.
The battle was started by the Props
kicking off, and for the first eight minutes
the playing of the two teams seemed
nearly even. At this point, however, the
Blue and Gray quarter started his new
foot ball going with the result that Jones
went thirty yards for touchdown after
receiving a beautiful forward pass from
Kerwin. Kerwin kicked an easy goal.
Holy Name kicked off this time, but it
did not benefit them much. as Jones ran
the pigskin back for a good 60 yards.
Another forward pass was Immediately
operated by Kerwin to Pat O'Brien. which
sent the Prep end for 30 yards and a
touchdown. This time the goal was more
difficult and kerwin failed to kick it.
Holy Name kicked off and Langmuir
ran back the ball Is yards. Some tough
Jones of the Props was injured. Time
was allowed. and in a couple of minutes
the gritty little half went back to his
place amid the applause of the onlook-
ers. The next play was an end-to-end
criss-cross, and 1t proved to be a peach,
for by it Haizlip was sent over for the
third touchdown of the game. No goal
was allowed. because the ball was de-
clared dead by the referee.
In the next kickoff kerwin OF the
Props got the ball and carried 1t % yards.
Twenty yards more were added by
forward pass and then Dahill made
quarterback run for another touchdown.
The ball was kicked out and heeled. but
no goal was made
Kerwin then kicked off to Holy Name.
Carr, who received it, was downed on
their 1O-yard line A tumble gave the
Props possession of the ball, and another
touchdown was made by kerwin through
the line. No goal was kicked. The Props
kicked off. but time was called before
the teams got a chance to line up.
In the second half the Blue and Gray
team was made up of mostly substitutes.
This made the game little closer, but,
even at that, a touchdown was made
before ten minutes were up by Langmuir,
Three minutes later kerwin sent a for
ward pass to Wieser. who carried the ball
over for the last touchdown Of the game.
Kerwin kicked both goals.
Win out TWO minutes leIt, the HOLY
Name put up defensive game. and the
best the Props could get was chance to
let OBrien try a drop-kick from the
25-yard line. 1t failed. and the ball was
punted out to the middle of the field.
Two scrimmages ensued and time was
called.
The features of the game, as will be
seen from the account were the forward
passes of the Props. Every one of the
nine which they tried was successful.
Carr of the church boys also showed up
as a good punter.
