BENNETT CUP RACE
TO BE HELD ABROAD,

LONDON. Oct. 2S.-Mr. Perrin. secre-
tary of the British Aero Club, was
questioned yesterday concerning the
suggestion cabled over here from st.
Louis by the American Aero Club that
the 1909 race for the Bennett cup be
held in st. Louis, because of the re-
moteness of that city from the sea. He
r tinted out that it would be impossible
to accept this offer, as, under the rules
governing the cup, the race must be
held in Franco in the event that the
British club decides not to hold it in
England. In any case, the competitors
would regard the expense of going to
st. Louis as prohibitive.

Academy the New Jersey nterscnolas
tic League was composed of the Red
and Black, Newark High, East Orange
High, Montclair High, Montclair Mill
tary Academy and Stevens Prep OF
Hoboken. AS usual the championship
struggle would narrow down to a due
between the two local schools.
In the last football game played be-
tween Newark High and tho Academy
at the old Orange Oval the blue and
white triumphed, q to 0. The red and
black, after having defeated all other
opponents, put up a stone-wall defense
in the first half, and neither side scored.
But even that academy line had to
crumble before the High Schools at
tack in the final period.
With little Barkhorn Keeling off the
signals, those sturdy backs, Terwilliger,
Schwinn and Ball, piercing the enemy's
defense; big Raquet, Van Nes-, Frey
gang and Beattie, either holding the
line or breaking up interference, ana
Laying and Honis, and ofttimes Bark
horn himself, circling the ends for long
runs, thai High School team was we'll
nigh irresistible.
Since then Newark High has devel-
oped a number of stars, including Seid-
Ter, tackle, now at Brown; Alverson,
last years captain and now leader OF
the Rutgers freshmen eleven; Fair
childs and Charles Beattie. ends; Nor
ris and McKennon, halfhac-1, and
Wagner, f%ullback, but as a team the
High School has not. been able to dupli-
cate that 1903 clever.
The High School now points back to
those players, and to Vic Schwartz,
who played quarterback in 1902 and
later starred on the Brown varsity
team, as Princeton points to her Poes,
Dewitt, Edwards and Hildebrand.
What a contrast between the teams of
those days and the elevens that have
worn the blue and white in later years.
Last years eleven had to bow to East
Orange High School in that memorable
school game at the ashland Field IN
Thanksgiving Day, when q field goal
by Captain Tom Creole brought victory
to the red and blue, 4 to 0. The team
of this season has shown little class.
Captain Edsall's boys lost their first
league game to Montclair High, IL to B,
and yesterday barely nosed out the
little Carteret Academy eleven, 5 to 0.
The academy, on the other hand, has
turned u some great elevens since its
withdrawal from the League, though TN
RESULT this season AVE not been as
encouraging, with Boynton, the Bisscll
BOYS. Feigenspan, Conlon and other
stars gone. The academy's '06 and oi
teams were exceptionally strong. Afte-
having closed a successful season here
Coach Mayser's boys defeated first the
Hotchkiss School team, of Lakeville,
Conn. which gave to Yale Ted Coy, Its
present field captain. end then lowered
the colors of other strong teams which
had won the championshipin their re-
spective districts.
The great interest aroused by con-
tests between the High School and the
Academy was not confined to football
1t was the same in baseball, athletics
and basketball. No games have beer
able to fill the void left vacant by the
withdrawal of the academy. It's about
time those rivals buried the hatche'
and resumed athletic relations.

GOOD PROSPECTS
z.Year-Old Comes from Speed

BY WALTER E. ERLER.

The ~2-year-old trotting filly Daph-

class last week at Olympic Park, Is
a handsome, good-gaited animal and
a very promising prospect
She comes from extreme speed-pro-
ducing lines, and should on inheritance
develop into an important member of
her family. She was bred at East View
Farm, foaled in 1906, and sired by Di-
rectum Kelly, four, 2.0SA, a game race
horse with extreme speed and the fast
Direct, 2:051a. In 1898 as a 4-year-old
he started in eight races on the Grand
Circuit against aged horses and never
met defeat.
Each of his races was a signal VIC
tory, the most sensational being the
M. and NJ, at Detroit, which he won
from a formidable field Ct sixteen
horses. He is the sire of thirteen
standard performers, including Direc-
tress, 2:11k; Black Pebble, 2:12N; East
View Belle, 2:15Z, and Princess Athel,

by Glen Beachy. who recently drove
him a mile in 2:0S1a.
1t is probable that he will be raced
some next year. Geo. Gano brought a

Since the two Newark schools have ceased to smoke

uNwIsE AND PREMATURE.
Reference to Range Strike in Presi.
dent Moyer's Report.

Denver, July 15.-In his annual re-
port to the convention of the Western
Federation of Miners President Meyer
refers to dissensions in the ranks of
the organization and expresses the
hope that the defeated minority may
bow to the will of the majority in all
matters for the common veal.
Eight strikes were held during the
year just closed, according to the re-
port, the miners gaining better con-
ditions in several instances. The
strike on the Mesaba range in Mime
sofa, which was called July 80, 1907,
and which resulted in complete defeat
for the miners and the virtual de.
%struction Of every local union in the
state, is characterized as an unwise
and premature affair that was doomed
to failure almost as soon as com.
menced. The sending of United
States troops by President Roosevelt
into the Goldfield district during the
strike last fall is condemned in strong
LANGUAGE.
