An appropriate finale to the season of

was witnessed yesterday, the feature
event being "A team match race in
which Jackie" Clarke. the Australian,
and Floyd MacFarland defeated Frank
L. Kramer, the national champion. who
rode with Joe Fogler. The victory was
scored in two straight mile heats.
In the opening heat Clarke fairly out
rode Kramer, but in the second the
champion vas badly placed VIXEN the
riders entered the stretch and could not
"got up to the antipodean.
MacF'arland had the pole in the
initial heat, with Clarke next to him
and Kramer and Fogler on the outside
in the order named. Soon after the
start Fogler took Kramer in tow, and
MacFarland did likewise with Clarke.
Fogler led on the pole at the third tprn
of the last lap, with Kramer on his
wheel, and Clarke seemed to be Gin
bad" At the head of the stretch
Fogler Swung up to give Kramer the
lead. and at the same time Clarke shot
down the track in Kramer's ruck.

ing gained impetus from his swing

going at top speed at the head of the
stretch. Coming down the stretch
Kramer tore loose, but it was too late,
and Clarke, who had gotten the lead,
Increased the breach of distance on the
last 100 feet and obtained the victory.
The riders in the second heat started
in the same position as in the first. For
a greater part of the distance In the
final heat the riders, after teaming
up, rode almost side by side. Fogler
led down the ba~ckstretch, nj when
MacFarland went up on the outside
Kramer's looked lost. Clarke
went away around, and at the head
of the stretch challenged Fogler. The
latter made a vain endeavor to keep
Lpiwith the Australian, but Clarke let
loose a few more links of speed, and as
a fan remarked, There was nothing to
it, Kramer passed Fogler in the
stretch, but could not reach Clarke,
finishing further IN the rear of the
Australian than he did in the first heat.
Excellent racing was. provided in the
professional half-mile repechage race.
In the opening heat, in which v
riders started, the judges had their
trouble owing to the closeness in which
six of the men finished.

predicted, Penn and Yale had soft
games, both making big scores.
In so far as having h other side on
the defensive is concerned, Princeton
outplayed the Army. West Point was
a stronger team than when 1t played
Yale two weeks ago better prepared
for a hard battle. Carl Flanders, the
old Yale centre, has been coaching the
soldiers for a week past, and the re-
suits of his tutelage were apparent III
the improved line play. Princeton $
offense showed power, but in a spas
modic and individual way. There
wasn't the cohesion in the formations
that is needed to make an attack de-
pendable, and cumulative strength was
missing. Prfnceton's defense was
strong enough to keep the Army from
e getting dangerously near the Tiger
goal line.

NEW YORK CLUB DECIDES
= TO GIVE UP BOXING OUT

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The National
Athletic Club will discontinue its week
ly boxing entertainments. This action
Is due to the order of Police Commits
sioner Bingham to close all boxing
clubs. AT the last entertainment the
club secured a temporary injunction
and conducted its bouts without inter-
ference from the police, but the fear of
a raid keeps many of the best patrons
OF the sport away from the club, and
no more out will be held until it is
determined legally whether such enter
tainments a be conducted in strict
accordance with the law. The Bout be-
tween Jack O'Brien and Sam Langford,
scheduled for Friday, has been called
off.
