COMMENT ON RACES

said one of the officials today, ''that when we Jagged him he apparently thought we wanted him to throw us a chain which he had just taken aboard his car."
 Wagner's car, with part of its gear missing, continued to whiz around the turn until 1t jumped out of control of even his veteran hand and smashed against a cement culvert.
 The notable improvement in American driving as compared with the grand prize race of two years ago was much com mented on by the officials remaining hero today. At the finish four American and two foreign cars remained on the track. The Americans never for a moment fal- tered from the shrewdly laid plan thought out by them days before the race. The foreigDrs though having the great advantage of generally faster cars, at times seemed to forget every element of victory except speed and daring. There were frequent comments that the Amer lean team. If equipped throughout with machines as swift as those of the for eigners, would have driven them to a bet ter finish. Wagner. who received the worst injuries befalling any of yester- days wrecks, was reported as we'll on the road to recovery tonight.

ATTEL AND CONLEY FIGHT
 TO DRAW IN NEW ORLEANS

to the face. Attel did not seem to mind this and for the first five rounds played waiting game. always guarding against body punches with his left.
 After the second round Conley rushed his opponent about the ring and fre- quently had him hanging on the ropes Conley met Attel's occasional rushes with rapid. short punches to the head and ribs and only once did Attel appear to have him worried. Attel covered his stomach and extended his face for Con- ley to jab at, always looking for an opening for a stiff body punch, but it never came.
 After the twelfth round the fighting was fierce, with Conley rushing Attel to the ropes, but always finding the lat ter vigorous and swift in the infighting. In the fourteenth round Conley landed often In the first half, but Attel let him. self out, and the round closed with both men fighting hard and fast at close range. Neither man showed signs of distress when the gong sounded for the final go. It was the fastest round of all, with both men trying hard for the de- cision, but the blows were short and without much damage. Although fights are limited to 20 rounds here, an effort will be made to match Conley and Attel for finish fight for the featherweight championship during the Christmas hol- idays.

SERIOUS CHARGE
 AGAINST YOUNG MAN

Henry Johnson and John Johnson were arrested yesterday afternoon by Detec- tives Brown. Cole. Wren and Sigsbee at Second avenue and Twentieth street shortly before o'clock.
 The specific charge Is that the two men have been systematically pilfering from a rooming house at 17271h Second avenue. The proprietor of the place iden- tified one of them as the man whom he says he caught in the act of stealing some goods yesterday morning at 6 o'clock. The man indicated acknowledged that he had been in the house, but de- n;ed taking anything.
 It seems that the proprietor has been missing things for some time and turned the matter over to the detective depart ment some time ago. Detectives Brown and Cole were assigned to the case and they succeeded in spotting the men, but had been unable to catch them. Yes terday morning the proprietor of the place, he states, caught a man in the act of making off with some goods. He grappled with him, but the man suc- oeeded in escaping. When he saw he was not pursued he stopped and cursed the man, according to his accounts, at the same time inviting him to capture him. The man identified one of the John- sons as the man who had been in the house yesterday morning.
 The rooms of the two men were searched by officers, but they found nothing. One of the men admits that he has only been out of the reform school for a short time having served 0 two years sentence. The two men will face charge of grand larceny this

COUNT TOLSTOI
 STILL MISSING

St Petersburg, November 12-The whereabouts of Count Tolstoi, who dis- appeared a few days ago from his home, are not yet certain, although inquiries have been made in various quarters and divers reports have reached here regard ing his present abiding place. A late dis patch from Moscow to the Russcoe Stovoe says that Count Tolstoi is now in the Schamardinsky womsn's monastery in Kalagua province. Confirmation of this, however, is lacking and queries sent to that district are as yet unanswered
 The Petersburg Zeitung publishes a statement from an intimate friend of the Tolstoi family to the effect that Count Tolstois decision to seek solitude was impelled by the disagreeable relations be- tween the peasants on the Yasnaya Hoi- mia estate and Countess Tolstoi and her second son, to whom the court had deed his estate.
 The countess had recently introduced high land rent, had secured cheap labor and had followed the ordinary commer- cial methods to raise revenue. Count Tolstoi was severely tried by this pro ceedure and was often driven to tears as he observed the increase of poverty and beggary in villages which had formerly been well-to-do.
 He was further aggravated by disputes which arose over his refusal to copyright an unpublished novel for which he had been offered large sum of money.
 New York, November 13.-"My im- pressions of Tolstof," said Representa- tive-elect Henry George tonight, when saw him at Yasnaya Poliana last year was that he Was extremely deli cate. though not feeble. When I ex- pressed my concern about his health, for I had heard that he was seriously i'll while I was in Japan month be- fore, he said In the most natural way that he did not expect to live much longer, as his powers were leaving him, his memory particularly and that there was swelling of his legs, chief ly in his feet, which were under the doctors care.
 He said that he was ready to go but that meantime he was at work on a book which perhaps he would be permitted to finish.
 q had heard stories of infelicity in their household. arising from what the world called the eccentricity of the philosopher. I saw absolutely nothing of this and came away believing that 1t did not exist. What I saw was ab- solute devotion on the part of the wife, the son and the daughter to a delicate old man who seemed to exist more in the spirit than in the physical being.
 T do not pretend to understand why he left home."

New Orleans, November 13.-Abe Att tel, featherweight champion, and Frankie Conley, holder of the bantamweight ti- tie, fought 15 rounds to a draw at the Westside Athletic club this afternoon. Conley did all of the leading and had a shade the better of Attel in almost every round up to the thirteenth. Both were strong and aggressive at the finish
 Attel weighed PA pounds and Conley 121. Dave Barry of Chicago was the referee.
 The largest crowd that has attended a fight here in 20 years witnessed the con- test and a majority of them thought Con- ley should have had the decision. Att tel conserved his forces and not until the concluding rounds did he extend himself. Conley, on the other hand. went at his man hammer and tongs and only forced the clever featherweight champion to respond In kind after some plainly vicious onslaughts. 1 While Conley landed the most blows, few of them were dama ging. Nine-tenths ! of the blows landed by both fighters were jabs or short-a arm hooks in the ciinches.
 Conley's style was to cover his head and rush in with series of swift blows

MURDER WARRANT FOLLOWS
 DEATH OF FOOTBALL PLAYER

Wheeling, W. Va, November 13.-A warrant formally charging Thomas Me- Coy, right end of the Bethany college football team with murder in con- nection with the death of Captain Ru- dolph Munk of the West Virginia uni- versity team was issued here today by Magistrate R. G. Hobbs. The action followed partial completion of the in- quest by Coroner w. ". Rogers. Munk sustained injuries in the game between the two teams here Saturday, from which he died within five hours with. out regaining consciousness. The testi- mony upon which the warrant was issued was furnished principally by Homer N. Young. a Pittsburg attor- ney, who umpired the game. Young testified that Munk was making inter- ference and was a few yards in front of the scrimmage line when Mccoy came up to the West Virginia captain, striking him in the head. Munk fell to the ground unconscious and Young ordered Mccoy from the field.
 The autopsy disclosed the fact that Munks death was caused by a blood clot at the base of his brain, and could not have been the result of a former injury. The dead athletes body was removed today to his home at Con- nellsville, Pa. Mccoy lives in Canton, Ohio.
 In giving the details of the manner of which Munk was injured, MT. Young said the ball was on Bethany's 60-yard line when Munk started down the field for interference. "He was not near the player with the ball." MT. Young said. "Munle was met by Mccoy, who ran toward him as they both were running down the field. Ten yards behind the scrimmage line. when Munk was in front, Mccoy struck him in the back of the head with his fist. Munk fell and Mccoy fell also. but quickly re- gained his feet, looked at Munk and started off the field"
 Umpire Young said that as the blow appeared to him as clearly intentional he immediately put Mccoy out of the game.

Search for Bandits

El Paso, Tex, November 13.-Rurales are searching the mountainous sec- tions in the state of Chihuahua, Mex, for a band of highwaymen, which att tempted to rob the Santa Gertrude mines near Parral, Mex. Thursday night, according to dispatches received here tonight, after a hard battle in which Adolfo Soto, assistant superin- tendent of the mines, was wounded, the bandits were driven off by miners. It is believed that at least one of the bandits was shot as trail of blood was left behind as they escaped. The band Is supposed to be the same that has terrorized that section for some time, robbing ranch houses and driv- ing off cattle.

GREENE'S AGGREGATION
 AGAIN VICTORIOUS

Athens November 13.-(Special.) )-rn one of the snappiest games ever seen in Athens Greene's school defeated But Ter school of Huntsville 22 to 0. It might appear from the score that the game was a one-sided affair, but such was not the case. The Huntsville boys fought good fight from beginning to end but the powerful interference of Coach Stephensons bunch was too much for the visitors. The line plunges of Sam Jordan, Clements, Price and Grisham of the local team was beyond the control of the Butler team. West died his team with a marked degree of skill. placing his plays in the proper place and time, and he himself often circled around the ends for long gains Spence's work at center was, as usual, hard and consistent. The Huntsville boys as a whole were hard workers but owing to the late start that they made this season they were handi- capped in team work.
 The feature of the game was the line plunging of Jordan and Grisham for the local team. Greenes school has only one more game scheduled for this season, that being with Williams school of Huntsville and they feel quite confident that after this game they can count on having won a very creditable number of games for the initial year, having won three, tied one and lost four. Coach Stephenson, President Greene of the Greene's university schoo as we'll as the town of Athens feel very proud of their representation on the gridiron.
 The final results of Saturdays game were as follows: Touchdowns, West moreland 2, Jordan 1, Clements 1 kick goal after touchdown. Westmoreland g. Time of quarters, 12 minutes. Ref cree, Armstrong of Florida; umpire. Me Outlook of Tennessee; head linesman, Stephenson of Trinity; timekeeper, Per- ry of Vanderbilt.
