ROBERTSON CLIPS 4 MINUTES
OFF FIFTY MILE RECORD
Exploded Tire Puts Out Strsng in the
Races at Atlanta.

Atlanta. Ca, Nov 12-Today's auto
mobile races reached their height when
George Robertson driving sixty horse
power Fiat. lowered the American track
record for fifty miles by four minutes
seven seconds. The previous record
was held by John Aiken. who made
the distance at Indianapolis in 44.21.2.
Aiken. who drove a National to second
place in todays race and Tillman, who
came in third in a Marmon. both bet
tered the indianapolis mark Aiken
made the distance in 43.11.41 and Still
man in 43.30.56.
Eight cars started in the contest and
five of them finished despite the rec
ord breaking pace. Lewis Strang
plotting his 200 horse power Fiat, set
terrifice pace in the first seventeen
miles. but in the eighteenth as he was
passing the judges stand the tire of
the rear wheel exploded. This COM
PEELED his withdrawal His time for
the first ten miles was 1882.
While on the twenty -seventh mile,
Harding in an Apperson made an at
tempt to. escape from a pocket. Lori
mer blew a tire, running against the
fence and losing a wheel Harding was
was about six geet behind when he also
blew a tire. but managed to avoid run
ming into his rival Neither driver was
injured.
The blowing up of Strangs tire gave
Robertson the lead at the end of the
twentieth mile. He was followed by
Aiken, Harding. Lorimer, Stillman,
Dingley and Disbrow. After the acct
dent to Harding and Lorimer, Stillman
occupied third place until he finished.

YALE TOP SCORER.
Only Eleven With a Clean Sheet-Six
Not Beaten VT.

After Saturdays football games Yale
remains the only one of the eastern
college football teams with clean slate.
However, no eleven has yet scored
touchdown on Dartmouth, Princeton's
two field goals being the only points
chalked up against the green. Dart
mouth hasn't been beaten yet. though
it has figured in two tie games. But
one touchdown has been scored on
Harvard and Lafayette. The unbeaten
eastern elevens so far are Yale, Dart
mouth, Harvard. Lafayette, Pennsylva-
mia and Pennsylvania State.
Until Saturdays game Dartmouth
and Lafayette were two more I'M
scoredon teams. but the pair have had
their nice records blurred.
When it comes to piling up the num-
Der of touchdowns, Yale is in the lead
by long odds. 1t has accumulated 30,
which is just 10 more than the next
team in order, Pennsylvania, with 20.
1t is rather strange to see but two
touchdowns credited to Amherst.
Touchdowns have gone to elevens as
follows: Yale 30, Pennsylvania 20. La
fayette 10, Harvard Is, Dartmouth IA.
Princeton IA, Wesleyan Is, Trinity II.
Brown IL. Navy 6, Holy Cross 6. Cor

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
NARROW SPECULATION
Diverted to Low Priced Stocks, Both
IndustriaIs and Railroads.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE sluggish
current of the price movement in the
stock market today shifted in conso-
nance with the varying view of the
money situation. Supplies of money
on call at five per cent and below
during the earlier part of the day gave
confidence that the banks were within
their reserve limit, so that call money
borrowers would not be pushed for
payment. Later the appearance Of the
preliminary estimates of the weeks
currency movement and announcement
of further engagements of gold for ex-
port renewed anxiety and the call
money rate stiffened again. The outgo
of cash during the week has been
much larger than was supposed, the
balance against New York on the ex-
press movement running apparently to
nearly $4,500,000 up to Thursday night.
Sub-treasury operations and gold ship
ments to Brazil together have taken
$4,S54,000, thus running the cash loss
on the known movements of money up
to near $10,000,000, one of the largest
cash losses for any one week in the
present year. The cate of shipment of
the million and half dollars gold en-
gagged today for South America on
London order is not known yet. The
bank which made the largest engage
ment called loans today to the extent
of many million dollars. There was
some fresh supply from other sources,
including, it was said, the dry goods
banks in this city, owing to a hull in
trade requirements. Authorities differ
ed as to offerings Of money from for
eign sources. The special demand for
cash from Chicago is said to be urgent
and is connected with the expectation
of an early call from the comptroller
of the for a GfafQnnnpf M
dition of national banks. The immi
nence of this call, it is reported, found
some of the Chicago banks below the
reserve limit. A. good proportion of the
New York clearing house banks were
shown to be below the rs per cent re-
serve limit In the detailed bank state
ment of last Saturday and their neces-
sity for refrigeration is a factor in the
money market position. The rise in
money rates applied not only to call
loans but to time loans, and the hard
ening tendency extended from the
shorter to some of the longer periods.
A feature of the narrow speculation
was its diversion follow priced stocks,
both industrials and railroads. The
limited resources I'm the money mar
ket make operations in these low priced
issues more feasible owing to the
smaller sums required by commission
houses for holding them for customers.
This constituted the only reason for
the movements in most of these. The
sharp falling off in the weeks exports
of copper compared with several weeks
past gave an impression of a waning
of the reported demand for that metal
although the price was advanced again
in London today. Stocks fell to the
lowest Of the day when call loans rose
to six per cent. and they hardened
when the rate eased Off Bonds were

COBB JEALOUS OF uMPIREs.
Georgia Peach Doesn't Want Arbiters
to Get in His Spotlight.

Cobb jealous of umpires.
And the other players jealous of
Cobb.
That's supposed to, be the state OF
affairs existing on the Detroit team
these days, says Cincinnati writer.
Cobb's antipathy to the umpires is
said to have its origin in the fact that
several of the arbiters, notably
OLoughlin and Evans take some of
the CLINT off him when they are in the
same game with him. O'Loughlin is
perhaps the most spectacular Jump in
the business" today, and when he is
working every eye is on him.
So. when Cobb and OLoughlin are
in the same game, Tyrus OF Georgia
doesn't get the attention for which he
has come to look as part OF his daily
programme and naturally that makes
him sore.
The other members of the Detroit
team. feeling that they are doing the
scenery stunt while Cobb is playing
the star role. are sore on Ty. for they
can't see why he should be looked up
to as the whole cheese and they rs
the hole in the cheese, when It comes
to giving an exhibition of the national
pastime.
Cobb thinks that he ought to hog
all the kind applause" said one Of the
disgruntled Tiger players during the
worlds series, when in reality be Is

But he's there with the publicity

YALE-PRINcEToN SPECIALS.
Twenty-Five Extra Trains to New
Haven - Ready for Princeton at
Pennington.

For the Yale Princeton game Sat
urday % specials will be run. One will
come from Boston, leaving there at
O'clock: one will run from Providence
and New London, two from Hartford,
one from Pennington with the Prince
ton. eleven on board, and the rest will
come from New York city, beginning
at 8 and continuing until II o'clock.
Six of the New York specials will con-
tain only parlor cars. There will be
accommodations for carrying 1900
people on the % trains.
Elaborate arrangements are being
made for the visit to Pennington this
week of the Princeton football squad
of 80 men. All the decorations in
Pennington will be orange and black.
Charles Henderson. the ground keeper
at the Country club in Pennington. is
now at work preparing the links for
the football players, and he will have
a nine-hole gridiron that ought to make
a hit. 1t is the same field that was
used by the Harvard men and the pro-
fessional says 1t will be in first class
shape when the hooters arrive James
NJ. Connolly. the superintendent of the
Country club, will provide the training
table for the athletes, which means
that the men in the squad are apt to
take on weight.
T. Dudley Riggs and Russell Jones,
members of the Country club. are old
Princeton players, and their knowledge
of Pennington will be of much assist
ance to the squad. Mr.. Riggs has been
to Princeton few times this fall to
help in coaching the line. Bosey Rel
ter will come up from Wesleyan one
day to add his stock to the general
knowledge.

TIGERS SUPPORTERS
CLAIM YALE. GAME.
But No Money Backs Their Belief
Princeton Faults Corrected-YaIe
Team Work Criticised.

New Haven, Nov. 12.-Confident of
victory, yet admitting that there
was even a possible, chance of losing
the game with Yale Saturday after
noon, the vanguard of the Princeton
army which will invade New Haven
tomorrow began to arrive on the late
afternoon trains and tonight the
streets and hotel Hobbies were throng-
ed with ia crowd. which. while it lack
ed perhaps the picturesqueness of that
of the day of the game. made up for
that want by its optimistic good ma
ture and an expressed willingness to
back its team.
Reports come from Pennington of
the excellent physical condition of the
Princeton team and that many of the
weaknesses brought out in the game
with Dartmouth a week ago have been
overcome, but still there is the feel
ing that the team is weak in the back
field in the matter of kicking and
catching of punts, Cunningham being
the only man who has shown up well
on these lines. The Yale feeling seems
to be that while Princeton has the
makings of an excellent team, that in
a years time will be developed into
one of the best that the college has
turned out, at the present time is not
exceedingly dangerous. On the other
hand, the Princeton followers say, and
among Yale men, that Yale has one
of the strongest teams in individual
work that has been turned out, but
that there is lack of general team
work that may bring disaster when
put to a critical test. To offset this
a majority of the Yale substitutes are
of varsity caliber and their getting in
to the game will not mean a general
weakening of the team.
NOtWithStan the confidence ex-
pressed by the Princeton followers,
there was very little Princeton money
in sight. and the wagers that were
recorded were at almost prohibitive
Odds

row will be as follows:

DARTMOUTH coLoRs IN BOSTON
Practically Entire College Body on
Hand for the Game with Harvard.

Boston, Nov. 12.-Dartmouth men
and Dartmouth coiors tonight filled
Boston's playhouses, hotels, cafes and
downtown streets. two special trains
of ten and eight cars each bringing
down. practically the entire college at
tendance of 1900 men from Hanover
late in the afternoon, in anticipation
of tomorrow's annual contest with
Harvard on the gridiron.
Coach Lilliard reported that every
man but one was in good shape. Quar-
terback Pishon, who sprained a liga-
ment in the Princeton game of week
ago, cannot play and the team will
start with this serious handicap.
The Harvard team closed its work
in preparation for the game with an
hour of light work in running signals,
receiving kickoffs and catching punts.
All the men are in good condition and
the regular Harvard first team with
one exception will play. G. Brown will
be at left end for Houston. Minot, who,
it was stought, might not start the
game, will be in his place at fullback.

coYs KNEE ALL RIGHT
But PhiIbin Has To Kick-Minor
Trouble in Yale Squad.

New Haven, Nov. 1S.-Yale is ready
for the game with Princeton tomor-
row and with three exceptions where
the injuries are slight. the men are in
perfect condition. according to the
coaches. Lilleys back is slightly lame
but he will start the game at right
tackle; Philbin is suffering from the
toothache and it is not definitely de-
cided whether he or Murphy will start
the game at right half Coy said to-
day regarding his knee:
There is absolutely nothing the
matter with my knee and / feel in fit
condition for the game. The reason
that I limped at practice on the field
yesterday was because of a muscle
bruise. l had slightm uscle bruise
on my ,leg and bound it too tightly
with bandage. AS soon as my ban
dage was removed my leg was all
right. The bruise is all gone and
the story about a Charley horse and
water on the knee is untrue"
The final practice of the team this
afternoon was "a signal drill. lasting
forty minutes. The men will spend
the night in the infirmary, except
Captain Coy. who will stay in his own
