blankets and never crawled out again

The Main Defence.
Secondary defence is the main de-
fence in the new game and the coaches
are beginning to realize it now. The
Princeton coaches discovered this first
in their game against Holy Cross and
Immediately adopted a rather novel
plan for strengthening the forwards.
The ends had been letting the man with
the ball get past them, believing that
either PendIeton, Hart or Sparks would
down the runner. Coach Roper RENE
died this fault by making the line
work without any of the backfield men
doing defensive work.
The result was that the ends began
to spread out and grab their man and
the tackles buckled in and broke up
the opposing teams interference.
The secondary defence in football is
supposed to look after punts and grab
runners in case the forwards let the
man get away from them, but all great
teams of the past have seldom failed to
have their forwards break up the plays.
Sprackling Makes Good.
There is one man who has already
earned his seat on the All-American
eleven this season, and that is Sprack-
ling, the Brown quarterback. He is
without doubt the greatest quarter Of
the season among the elevens in the
east, and his work in the Yale game
stamped him as one of, if not the very
greatest man, who ever took a center's
pass.
Sprackling is a great ground gamer
and since quarterback runs have been
allowed, has gained more for the Prov
idence eleven than any two men on the
team. He is a fast man, gets away
with the speed of a bullet and even
increases his pace when about to be
tackled.
One of the great faults of many
crack backfield men is that they either
step running entirely or slow up when
about to be downed. The man who

That Jeffries Dope Story
Is Thin But Persistent
By W. W. NAUGHTON

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 1.-the
Jeffries dope story, like Banquo's
ghost, will not down. This time it IS
more likely to be listened to, as it
comes from Jeffries himself. What is
more. it is placed before the public
by no less a parsonage than Beanie
Walker, who has acted as Jeffries's
duly accredited Boswell so long that
ANYTHING he hands out in Jeffries's be-
half is regarded as authoritative.
Jeffries cannot place the exact hour
e. which he was handed the drowsy
Iction. He says he was doped some
tine within three days of the fight.
There is something to make the
slaves of the lamp sit up ami listen.
Anything that can watt man into
dopedom for three days must of neceS-
sity be more potent than hashneesh,
poppy juice o. any of the ordinary Wis
tcn producing drugs of commerce. X
lie -fiends'' had any idea where to in

eaters generally, who hope some DIV

that Jeffries was doped. I'm willing
to admit that Jeffries himself may be-
lieve 1t, but at that I'm sure he has
simply been brought to bei:eve IT.
Someone else has put the notion into
his head, for Jeffries himself in all mis-
career was never an alarmist or an
apologist.
Too Much Training, Not Dope.
What allied Jeffries was drastic
training. which of course entailed great
loss of weight and consequent loss OF
vitality. He was worried, TOO, over
the load of respOns' bility he was carry
ing as the hope of the white race. He
felt that all his previous achievements
in the prize ring would be forgotten
if he was defeated by Johnson, and he
figured correctly 1t was, therefore. a
combination of physical and mental
strain that rendered Jeffries as weak
as a kitten, and the whole story was
told in the first round when Johnson
took hold of Jeffriess left forearm and
tucked if behind Jeffries's hip with as
little effort as if Jeffries had been
child.
Jim Corbett attributed Jeffries's de-
feat to nervous prostration," which Is
simply my argument in a nutshell. Cor
bett ought to know what he is talking
about, for he was practically In the
same box when he faced Fitzslmmons at
Carson, and the quick manner In when
he faded away showed 1t.
Not the Same Men.

timers who remember Sloan, Shaw.
Isaac Murphy, Daredevil Fritz and the
rest Of them, are inclined to stint the
praise due Shilling on the ground that
the riding talent this year was very
poor. They say that in the old days,
when there were six or a dozen riders
ali in the same notch. Shilling wouldn't
have figured in comparison.
Shilling Can "Get Away,
Despite this, many of the present
day horsemen regard Shilling as one
OF the best riders they ever saw, so re-
markable was his ability during the
Saratoga meeting that il was often re-
marked that he could take a % cent
horse and make it beat a stake animal
He can getaway" as they say on the
turf, and that's the race half won.
ANY other boy but Shilling on Nov
city and the rich Futurity would have
gone to Bashti Sam Hildreth knew
this and that's why he kept the boy on
the ground at cost Of $500 a day, SO
as not to run the risk of having him
set down and his services lost on Flu
turity day
In winning several races on Resti-
gouche, Shilling bore out the statement
of McCafferty, in that he made a route
traveller out of Splinter. Resti-
gouche's forte was setting a stiff pace,
then quitting. smiling cured MIN OF
this. In all later rides on Restigouche
Shilling has made the race a sprint
through the stretch by taking the horse
off the early pace. There are few
horses who can outsprint Restigouche,
and fewer still are the riders who can
place him like Shilling can. In a word,
the lad is in a class by himself, in the

Popularity.

Chicago. Ill, Nov. 19.-With the rae
ing year, generally accepted as closing
with the Inauguration of the winter
season, rapidly nearing the fag end, IT
Is apropos to look about and make
ready to crown the champion jockey.
In casting the minds eye over the
30 leaders Of the profession, one finds
that jockey Garner, who will ride in
the Jauarez, Mex, meet, has ridden far
and away the most winners. Up to and
including one week ago, the Pinnell
protege had 727 mounts, and was first
15s times second 146, third los and
unplaced 314 times. However, from a
percentage basis, or viewpoint, the only
logical way of determining the true
ability OF a race rider, Garner falls far
short of Carol Shilling, with 449
mounts. 1873 firsts, 81 seconds and I'M
placed 154 times, The simple method
of deduction shows that Shilling earn
ed a percentage Of "a, while Garner
has but %
Jockey T Koerner, under contract to
Wayne Joplin, and at present riding
at Latonia, has probably shown the
most rapid advancement during the
year, ranking third to Garner and Shil-
ling. with a percentage of -16. When 1t
is considered that Koerner rode much
inferior horses than either of the two
leaders, his performance is all the more
outstanding. Jockey Powers probably
refrigerated faster and more pronounc-
eddy than any other rider. In fact, fol-
lowing the severe attack of sunstroke
with which he was overcome July 4,
at Empire City, he has made little or
no attempt to get into riding shape
Dugan and Talpin are two more rated
as first class riders, that have struck
the toboggan. In fact, Dugan's riding
during tie Jamestown meeting was
only very ordinary and far below his
true form
Marvellous Work Of Shilling.
The one outstanding feature of the
entire recapitulation, however, Is the
marvellous work Of Jockey Shilling, a
rider without a peer-who was at
Juarez last year and will ride there
this season. To the ability Of Shilling
can be attributed the splendid success
of the horses Of Sam Hildreth and in
cidentaIly the magnificent sum of $780,
600, their accredited winnings during
the year

mfttedly one of the best riders who

the government is doing everything
within reason in an effort to stamp out
the old national pastime.
Racing Well Kept Uu.
The racing at Mexico City is well
kept up; in fact, the nagement is
quite jealous of track and enclosures.
For instance you cannot gallop a horse
on the main track, unless you pay $50
for each work This, as can easily be
seen, is prohibitive to the rank and
file. Neither are horsemen allowed to
walk or jog their horses on the what
is known as the inside track. All
trials and preparatory work are done
in the center field and on the roads.
Racing the Reverse Way.
THE track proper is one five-eighths
miles in circumference with schutes
for the mile and seven furlong dashes.
Racing, as at Belmont Park, and some
Of the great English courses, is done
the reverse" way, or to the right
''One of the strangeSt of the many
kinds of equipment in vogue is the
mode of weighing Jockeys. In our
country this, of course, is dre with the

a chair is attached and the jockey
has to climb up several feet in order to
make weight. The Americans have
sobriqueted it the electric chair
There is racing here every Sunday,

Betting in Mexico is conducted along
similar lines to that now in vogue in
carbohydrates and auction
pools, with the association taking a
percentage of the gross amount pass
ing through these channels
The Mexican derby, the first Of Sc
ries of 10, was made possible through
the appropriation of S250,O00 by the

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Takes up Case Of Musicians and In
vokes the Unfair List.


The Central Labor Union at its meet
ing last week heard the delegates from
the Musicians Union in regard to the
present secession of a number of men,
bers, and then proceeded to put the re-
calcitrant members upon the unfair list.
These recalcitrant members are employ
ed in various business institutions, and
in two cases are engaged in business.
Due notice of the action of the central
body will be given to all local unions
and union men and women will be
asked to Withhold patronage from the
firms employing them. This will, of
course, raise howl from the secretary
of the Business Men IS League, but as he
is paid to howl he will be given ample
opportunity to earn his money.
The protest of the Business Mems
League against Deputy Labor Commits
sioner Maupin was considered and the
central body replied by unanimously
adopting resolution commendatory
Of the deputy labor commissioner and
ordering it forwarded to the governor.
The organization committe was in
structed to get busy in the matter of or
ganizing the laundry workers, the nee
essary literature and instructions hav
ing been received from the information
al organization.
The Labor Day committee reported
that the work of forwarding the cele-
bration was being pushed and that the
various locals had been notified. AS
soon as the general committee is or
ganized the central body's committee
will be relieved from further duty.
The general committe will meet at the
Labor Temple next Sunday afternoon at
$3.50.
A proposition to change the method
of roll call was defeated after consid-
cradle argument.
The committee having the recent ben
eft in charge reported the receipt of
$54. The total receipts of the evening
amounted to handsome sum, the larg-
est reported at any one meeting for
many years. The attendance was larger
than usual despite the terrific heat, and
the interest manifested was good to
see.
