ALL ROADS TO PIMLICO.
Interest in the Coming Meet I!
Steadily Growing Stronger.

BALTIMORE. Nd. October 1t.-Racing
men say that the Pimico race meeting
which starts off next Saturday viii be
the best ever held in this section and will
compare favorably with any meeting
ever given outside of the big New York
tracks.
The anti-racing bill. which has given
the sport such a body blow in the Empire
state. will work for Pimlico's benefit, and
d better class of horses and a bigger at
tendance than ever is already assured.
The management is now Worrying about
the question OF providing quarters for all
the stables that have sisSlified their in
tention of being represented.
Many new faces will be seen at the old
hilltop track, and many owners and train
erS who have always stuck close to the
metropolitan circuit will this fall switch
off and come down TO Baltimore. This
fact will add largely 10 the class of the
field engaged and the overnight events
of the coming meeting will be equal 10
the stakes of the previous meetings.
The Cd guard which has always raced
"a Pimico will be On hand in full force.

ENGLISH GIRL BEATS
TENNIS CHAMPION

NEW YORK. October 11.-Miss Clare
Cassell. Il young English expert. Won
her place in the final of the Hamilton
Grange lawn tennis tournament yester-
day. In two sets scored at e. and 1O-S.
the English girl defeated Miss Marie Wag-
ner, the national indoor champion. whose
record for victories this season has only
been equaled in the past by Miss May
Sutton. The victory of Miss Cassell gives
an international aspect to the tourna-
ment.
The surprising feature Of this match
was that Miss Cassell beat Miss Wagner
out at her own pet driving game. All of
the twenty-eight games were free from
looping Miss Wagner played up to closer
range than the English girl. In many of
her shots the American took on the vol
ley. but she was never quite so successful
in playing to the lines as her rival.
Miss Cassell completely baff1ed the
young American by her use of the shots
along the sides. She gave the bali
myst wing drop which brought 1T down

Evidence at Averill Hearing That
Father Was Not a Suicide.

CLIFTON FORGE, Va, October IL
John III. Averill. jr-, son of the late
John IL. Averill. whose tragic death &C.
CURED at Lowmoor last Monday night.
WAS arrested at that place yesterday
afternoon, charged with the murder OF
his father. The arrest OF the young man
did not create surprise. despite the fact
that the family had claimed that the
head OF the house came TO his death
either by accident or suicide.
1t is now said that on the night the
deceased met his death he had requested
members of his family not to make any
noise. as ii disturbed him. The young
man tried to explain matters. as com
pany WAS present at the time. Words
followed. and the son left the house, fol-
lowed by the father, and few minutes
later the report of a pistol was heard.
The fact that the ball entered the right
side led to the opinion that it was not
suicide. The officers who made an in
vestigation declare they have sufficient
evidence TO convict the son. who is now
in Jail at Covington.

ARMY ALWAYS DOES
WELL AGAINST YALE

Because of the social interest IN
the annual Yale-West Point game
1t has come to be one of the big
foot ball events of the season. Three
times as many persons make the
trip up the Hudson as there are
seats around the Cadets parade
ground gridiron. Just about Il third
of the crowd gets more than
glimpse of the contest.
The game almost invariably is
close one and fought for bitterly
from the first whistle OF the referee
to the last one. During the past
eight years West Point has beaten
Yale once, and three times the score
has been tied. in 1891 the result
was to ); in 1902 it was t 10 6: in
1904 West Point secured IL
points to Yale's g. and last year
neither side scored.

Foot Ball Notes.

Charley Daily is the Harvard coach Sc
lected to see Yale play West Point today.
The New Haven eleven probably will be
forced to use its best offense and defense
to date against the Soldiers. and DAILY is
expected to take many pointers on Yale's
game back to Cambridge.
Alonzo A. Stage has taken the radical
step of RELOCATING the heaviest men on the
University of Chicago squad TO the side
lines and placing two players weighing
1G; and 165 pounds, respectively, at
guards.
Hurry Up Yost of Michigan did not
expect much trouble when the game for
the Wolverines at Syracuse November II
was scheduled. Syracuse has doomed up
so strong that her supporters are pre-
dieting victory over the weSterners.
Many hate wondered how Villanova
gets together so many good teams. The
reason they have shown up so well this
fall Is that Fred Crollus, a halfback al
Dartmouth in Walter McCormick's days.
has taught them how to play foot ball.
Even without the Yale game on Soldiers
Field this fall Harvard's receipts from
foot ball are expected to be unprecedent-
ed The crowds at the early games have
been far greater than ever before.
Colby and Bates will meet in Watervillt
today for the first game in the series for
the championship of Maine.
Schaelkopf, who Is back in Ithaca from
Cambridge. says that the Harvard
coaches started out right this fall, but
that they have their hands full to develop
winning team.
A Williams player protested strongly in
Cambridge when Umpire Bill Edward.
penalized Williams for holding. Edwards
quickly turned around and said: THAT
costs you j yards. I'm umpring thi,
game Williams was then penaliZed
~ yards instead of IL.
Harvard men complain that Referee
Hacket, of West Point blows his whistle
too eagerly stopping pays in scrimmage.
Once this cost Harvard a touchdown, and
several other times Williams had not
stopped plays when the referee gave the
signal declaring the ball dead.
Glenn Warner is working three elevcns
at Carlisle. He handles the first team;
Johnson, quarterback several seasons ago,
has the second team, and EXendine. last
years captain and end, is in charge OF
the third squad.
The Harvard and Yale freshmen have
decided to play their annual game No
vember H.
Blackboard talks by the coaches are
still being given the Cambridge squad.
The theories of the game and the prin-
ciples of trick plays are worked out In
black and white, while new plays are
mapped out and learned by the players
before being tried on the gridiron.
Coach Upton has worked hard 10 per-
feet the Soldiers in recovering fumbles
and blocked kicks. He has lined up the
first and second elevens together, and,
standing a short distance away. kicked
the ball for them TO scramble after.
Tad Jones says he hopes Harvard Will
win all her games except the Yale con-
test as he declares: yale got no glory
by beating the Crimson last year"
Lafayette now has played two tie games
against Princeton. Singularly, Barclay.
the present Easton coach, was halfback
in the first contest. That year Lafayette
beat PENNSYLVANIA 6 to 4. Not a player
in the Lafayette lineup will graduate
next spring.
