New York, Nov. 9.-Horse racing
ended in the east a week earlier than
is usual Whether the curtailment
was directly due to the hardships in
fltcted by the anti betting laws in New
York state is matter of opinion.
The recent cancellation OF its usual
fall meeting by the Empire City track,
which was scheduled for this week,
was met with proposal to prolong
the meeting at Aqueduct until Nov. Is,
the date to which the racing season
usually continues, but because of the
debilitahed condition of the sport un-
der the stringent anti-betting law, the
AqueducC authorities refused to ac-
cept the additional dates.
A large crowd was on hand at the
Aqueduct track for the wind-up and
to see the last stake race of the sea-
son. This was the Belle Harbor and
IT was won easily by Ten PAGES.
With the closing also at Pimlico
the movement of stables that will
seek winter racing in the west, south
and in Mexico already has begun, but
the turfmen interested are those of the
smaller establishments, as most OF the
big stables will go into winter quar-
ters on the ong Island tracks, accord
ing to their custom.

DILATORY TACTICS
CAUSES TROUBLE
ANOTHER EFFORT BEING MADE
TO GET A GAME BETWEEN THE
A. C. AND THE N. q. v. SINCE
THE FARGO COLLEGE GAME
FAILED.

After the A. c. took the initiative
i'm the effort to have athlete relations
resumed between the A c. and the N.
ID. U. the university was so slow in
responding that no communication
was heard from the football manage
ment until after the A. G. game at
Brookngs. Then matters hung fire
as the u preferred to play Fargo col
lege. Now that this game has failed,
the u has reopened negotiations for
a contest with the aggies.
The A. G. bunch is badly crippled
and went out of training after the st.
Thomas game Saturday afternoon. 1t
would be difficult matter to get the
bunch together and the defeat of the
team seems a foregone conclusion.
The u wants a game either in Fargo
or Grand Forks next Sunday. Man
ager Dynes Is comforting with the
board of management today and will
be advised as to what he should do.
If the aggies 40 play the u. it will
be simply a Transportation Of their
good intentions. They are under no
obligation as the hardness OF the u.
in endeavoring to arrange a date GER
tainly give the aggies all the excuse
required for refusing to play the game
Whatever is decided 1t is hoped that
the dates for next year will be ar
ranged Immediately so there will be
nothing to prevent a game in 1910.

OUTLAW LEAGUE
WAS ADMITTED

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 9.-The prac-
tical admission of the California state

was the result of the first days ses-
sion of the national board of arbitra-

]. H. Terrell, secretary of the Ma
tionaI association, and Frank Her
mann, president of the California state
league, were appointed as a commit
tee to draw up an agreement. The
agreement will be submitted to the
national board and If approved by thai
body, it will then go before the entire
national association tomorrow for n
nal action.
The new league will share three cit
San Francisco, Oakland and Sacra-
mento. Stockton, Fresno and probably
San Jose will be the other cities of
the California state league
The title to sixty-one players will
be decided by the national board and
the title to five players by the nation
al commission.
These players are men who are eth
er under contract to or on the reserve
lists of some national agreeent club

league while it was an outlaw? or

ity of these cases will be decided with

Johnson Was Noted for His Quitting
Propensities at School.
Kansas City, Nov. 9.-Something
occurred in the recent fight between
Jack Johnson and Stanley Ketchel in
San Francisco that few persons. even
those at the ringside. thought Of in the
the light that the close observer who
knows the reputation and character Of
Johnson, did. 1t will be remembered
that few years ago, johnson had a
reputation of harboring a streak of
yellow. Some critics who saw him
fight Fred Russell and few others
of that type, claimed Johnson was
ready to quit cold in any one Of these
battles If he had received a hard Jolt,
He had streak of yellow in him when
he was schoolboy and it is claimed
that it never left him. Men VINO had
seen Johnson fight in several battles
in which he always carried that smile

were at the ringside and at one time
saw that smile leave his face. They
feared Johnson might possibly show
that yellow streak again, although
they knew he was not being hurt seri-
ously. The climax came in the twelfth
round. Johnson was knocked down It
will be remembered, just before he
whipped Ketchel by terrific rally
AS ne fell to the mat those men who
had known Johnson for years had
something to think about. The cues
ton flashed into their minds, would
Johnson get UP or would he quit cold?
They knew he had not been nit hard
enough to knock him out, but they
feared that yellow streak. johnson
soon arose, however, and as he did
those men drew a sigh of relief and
when ne knocked Ketchel out, they
drew the second one, 70" they knew
then that their fears about the negro
quitting and thus greatly damaging
the fight game were useless. This has
only been mentioned by the promin-
'ent critics at the ringside, who had
been discussing it among themselves.
They are also discussing the POSSIBLE
ity of such an occurrence in the battle
with Jeffries. There will be a big
purse in that fight. Keep a close
watch on the blow that knocks John
son out If ne loses.

END POSITION is
MOST IMPORTANT

With the growth of the modern
school of football there have been
many changes as to the relative i'm
portance Of the several positions. I'm
der the new system Of football the
end rush is the most important man
on the team. The only possible excep-
ton is the position of quarterback.
The latter must evolve the play that
is to come, and 1t is up to the end
rush to put it into execution Form
erly most of these duties fell upon the
halfbacks, and the back field was con-
sidered the most important depart
ment. If the players were still per-
mitted to formulate mass plays the
back field would still be the more i'm
portant, but the end rush is the man
on whom all teams must depend for
success. under the present system.
AS a matter Of fact there is no
longer such a thing as a right half
back or left flalfback. They are
merely members OF the back field. In
the old days the backs stood in a line
parallel to the linemen. The fulIback
was in the center and the halfbacks
were on each side of him. That is
where they got their names OF right
and left halfback. AS the teams line
up today the backs stand in a row.
which is at right angles to the regular
line, and, consequently, there is no
right and left In the signals they are
known as back 1 and back 2.
There are many reasons why the
end should have superseded the half
back as position of Importance. In
the old days of mass plays the ends
rarely ever got chance to get in the
play before the runner was tearing
into the line--that is, when they were
on the defensive. On the offensive.
the ends were played back Of the line
and used as halfbacks. They often
ran with the ball. Under the new
style OF open play the end must be as
fleet as reindeer, and he must be a
certain and sure taclxler. There is
much more kicking in the game now
than there was a few years ago. and
the end must keep UP with the speed
Of the ball and tackle the man VINO
catches 1t by the time 1t hits his hand,
Wise kickers always send the ball high
In the air to give the ends a chance.
If an end is slow in going down the
field on punts, he is useless.
The forward pass has also brought
the end into prominence, and he now
must be expert in the art of catching
ball on the fly and ne must have all
the qualities of a halfback in running
with the ball The forward pass can
not be executed with bad ends. The
man who receives the ball must have
long training and he must nave a
nerve. The halfback can protect the
end after he starts with the ball. but
1t is up to the end to catch the pass
and he must be in position exactly at
the right moment or the whole thing
will go up in smoke.
A nice illustration of what the end
PUSHES can do toward winning or los
ing a football game is that game In
which Dartmouth defeated Princeton
last season. 1t was the work Of
SchildmHler and Kennedy that turned
the trick. Tney were on top of the
ball every time 1t was kicked and NOT
once did either of them miss the for
ward pass.
The early slowness of Princeton this
year is due to the failure to secure
fast ends to take the place of such
men as Wister.

Seconds to Tower citN.

The high school second football team
will travel to Tower City next Satur-
day to engage the high school team of
that place in gridiron battle. The
seconds are fast little bunch and
proved their ability last Saturday by
whipping the Casselton team on their
home grounds. A regular game gives
them considerable good practice for
their scrimmage work with the regu-
lars while that same scrimmage work
gives them some fast work and puts
them in great condition to play regular
football.
