No Racing at yonkers
Fall Meeting at Empire City Declared Off for the
"GOod of the Sport

Matt j. Winn, secretary of the Empire
City Racing Association, announced at
Aqueduet yesterday that the fall meeting
of six days at Yonkers. scheduled for from
November 10 IL, to close the season in
this state, had been declared off.
He said that James Butler, president of
the association, had decided to take this
stand for the best interests of racing, in
view of the fact that many horsemen were
unwilling to incur the expense OF shipping
their horses to Yonkers for such a short
meeting, and that the size and quality of
the fields. under the circumstances, would
not provide the kind of sport commensu-
rate with the price OF admission and trans
portation TO and from the track
Many racesoers and some horsemen ex-
pressed disappointment that the season
should be curtailed, If only for one week.
and there was some talk of the Queens
County Jockey Club taking the dates and
continuing the present meeting. which is
now scheduled TO close OH Monday. Z. J.
Dwyer said that nothing could be done in
this connection until after a conference
with other men interested in the welfare
of the turf, but that in all probability the
season would now end on Monday
The majority OF leading turfmen at the
track yesterday secuted the suggestion
that Mr.. Butler feared that the meeting

SENIORS THE VICTORS.
Beat Columbia Freshmen on
South Field GridirOn.

In hard fought game on South Field
yesterday the Columbia seniors defeated
the freshmen in the fourth contest for tho
interclass championship by a score of %
to 0. In the first half the freshmen, al
though outweighed. played the seniors to a
standstill, and were scored on only as the
result of q fifty-yard run by Phelan, the
senior right halfback. which put the ball
on the fresbmen's S-yard line. This hap
pened in the opening minutes of play. but
the freshmen came back after the touch
down had been scored and fought des-
perately.
The freshmen played a fast game and
used forward passes and on-side kicks with
excellent Judgment and execution. Most of
the freshmen's gains in the first half were
due to open plays OF the new style football
Shortly before the close of the first half
the freshmen brought the ball down to the
seniors l-yard line by splendid forward
pass. The freshmen backs were too light to
put the ball over the coveted distance. how
ever. and it went to the seniors on downs
Latenser and MuTchie were strong In tho
freshman attack and were powerful factors
in the defensive playing of the team.

Hanover. y. H., Nov. S.-Dartmouth held
its last real practice before the Princeton
game this afternoon. The first part was
secret, but the gates were thrown open at
4:30 o'clock to give the undergraduates a
last look at the eleven that will battle for
the Green on Saturday. About eight hum
dred students, headed by the college band
marched to the field and cheered the team
and coaches.
The varsity went through a snappy sig
nal drill, in which the men showed enough
spirit to eat up a whole squad of Tigers.
The lineup for this work was the same as
will meet Princeton on Saturday. 1t fol-

would be run at a loss, and one said:
Mr.. Butler has proved himself far too
good friend OF racing to call the meet
ing off for that reason. He has willingly
borne his share of the loss which has come
since the Agnew-Hart law against or
ganized booklnaking was passed, in an
effort te build the sport up once more, and,
further than that, he has just incurred the
expense of inclosing the grandstand at
Yonkers, fearing a cold week, in considera-
tion OF the comfort of racegoers. This does
not look as II money was the considera-
ton
When the question of politics and the sue
cess OF the fusion forces on Tuesday was
raised as a possible reason for abandoning
the meeting it was pointed out that the
Empire City track was in Westchester
County, and that the law as interpreted
by the courts was being observed at all
The tracks. Attention was also called to
the fact that the grand jury was now in
session in Westchester County, and that
1t might have been thought best not to in
vite any further trouble until all pending
cases had been settled by the courts.
This suggestion, like the others, was not
accepted seriously by the majority of those
at the track, who, on the whole, were quite
willing TO take the announced cause and
make the best of it,
