WHO KNOWS IN V4N.
Beats Coast Marie IN Close
Heats ON Spcedray.

Christopher Hackett's Who Knows. 2l0Ib.
and James a. Murphy's Coast Marie, 2:1lI1.
furnished some good sport yesterday after
noon at Speedway Park with their race,
which was not on the programme, but
which proved TO be the feature of the third
matinee OF the Road Drivers.
The first heat was a genuine dead heat.
for it was impossible for the judges TO de-
clare in favor of either Of the contestants.
and the owaers were quite satisfied with
the verdict. Who Knows won the second
heat, and 1t proved to be nearly as chose as
the first. as he was only neck ahead OF
the mare as they swept past the finishing
post. The final heat went 10 Mr. Hacketts
gelding. and. although it was not quite as
closely contested as the first two, it was
good drive from start to finish, and either
horse had a fair chance of winning right
up TO the finish. The fastest time was
1:03ii. made in the first heat
Aristo, the bay geding owned by Fred
Gross, made the best time of the day
among the trotters. He started alone in

time made by Joe Jap. and covered the

CUP RUM0R DENIED
W1NT BRITISH BOAT.
Precious Changes Made IN
Deed of Gift.

There has been some talk of the posi-
bility of Sir Thomas Upton building n
yacht in Canada with which TO challenge
for the Americas Cup, but the statement
has been made without any authority from
Sir Thomas" said Colonel Duncan + n.
NELL yesterday, land ] can say positively
that he never had any idea of building in
Canada. II will be a British built boat or
nothing. rest assured of that. The Cana
dians have an opportunity to build boat
and challenge II they want to. but Sir
Thomas wants nothing but a British built
boat
Sir Thomas Upton spent the day paying
visits to old friends in and out of the city.
He has not yet called at the New York
Yacht Club but he has talked with several
members who have called upon him at his
hotel. There seems to be a general desire
10 see another race for the cup. and all
agree that Sir Thomas Is wise in not at
tempting to arrange a contest for next
gear.
The next regular meeting of the New
York Yacht Club at which the subject Of
a challenge could be discussed will be held
on December ls, but il q. challenge is for
rnally received from sir Thomas 1t IL quite
likely that Commodore Arthur Curtiss
James would call special meeting.
SO many changes and notifications have
been made In the deed of gift since it was
originally drafted by George l.. Schuyler
and the other donors of the Americas
Cup" said a member of the Larchmont and
New York yacht clubs yesterday that it
does seem quite reasonable at this time to
make suitable and proper concessions under
the mutual agreement clause to permit the
acceptance of a challenge from so good and
plucky a sportsman as Sir Thomas Llpton
Let us see, for example. just what has been
done at various times to modify the deed OF
gift.
The clause relating to the sailing OF
races without time allowance was strictly
adhered to from 1851. when the cup was
won by the America, until the Puritan
Cienesta race, in 1885. Ever since then that
rule has been ignored, and time allowance
has been a factor in all the races. The
deed says that the courses shall be twenty
miles TO windward or lceward and return.
Until 1887 that rule was enforced. After
that year tho courses were cut to thirty
miles all told. Again, in one or two cases
the ten months notice called for by the
deed was waived. and the three Shamrocks,
owned by Sir Thomas Upton. were per-
mitted to cross the Atlantic under tow. in
| stead OF sailing. These and other minor
notifications show that the club intended
TO and did make concessions that proved to
be for the best interests of both challenger
and defender"

Patrick T. Powers was reelected presi-
dent of the Eastern League of Baseball
Clubs at an adjourned meeting of the
ganization in the Hotel Victoria yesterday.
When the club owners gathered all oppo
sition to Mr.. Powers was withdrawn and
his reelection was unanimous.
President Powers was first elected to head
the league in 1893, and since then he has
served each year except during the season
of 1904.
At a caucus of the delegates at the Wal
dorf-Astorla on Tuesday night it was
agreed to name Mr.. Powers as the chief
executive of the league for the coming
year, and no other name was mentioned In
nomination yesterday. 1t was said that Bal
timore, Buffalo and Newark were in favor
OF eiectng James r. Price, that Toronto
stood out for Edward Barrows, while
Jersey City. Rochester. Montreal and Prov-
dence were friendly TO Powers. 1t was said
further that the warning factions finally
agreed, on the understanding that Mr.. Pow
ers would withdraw at the end of this term.
Newark, anxious to have any ono but
Powers, tried to turn the tide against him,
but when this could not he accomplished
offered Edward Tenney, first baseman of
the New York National League team, as a
compromise candidate. The proposition was
not accepted, however.

Philadelphia, Oct 27.-Ths excellent pIav-
ing of Marks. the former centre. who had
his first trial as an end In actual scriu-
mage. was the feature Of the University
of Pennsylvania football practices this az
terneon. After the drill the coaches Wsrs

the Indians hs would solve the problem OF
finding another end He did his best work
in receiving forward passes. He was also
fast in going down the field under kicks.
As whole, however. the practice vas
disappointing 10 the coaches All Cf the
backs seemed TO have a mania for FUN
bling and mixing up signals. The work OF
Ramsdell was SO poor that the coaches are
lamentins the absence OF Hutchinson more
than ever. The latter was on the field in
uniform. and did little kicking. bat h
was not allowed to take any part in either
the scrimmage or signal drill. Murphy IS
doubtful as to whether he will be allowed
