HICAGO, Ill, Nov. 5.-The great
American sporting public has
during the past few days waded
through a plethora of expert opinion,
explaining away the whereof of the
thusness anent the recent walloping of
the Cubs by Connie Macks pachyderms,
all of which has, in its way been eX-

it from muh to infliet upon your sem

though it is quite apropos, here in CHI
cago-Of all sad tales of tongue or pen,

In a word, however, the requiem is
an eloquent tribute to that unwavering
though tickle barometer. the betting
angle. Inasmuch as the writer made
the official prices-those accepted on
the bourse on the series-and is in a
position to know that the unprecedent-
ed amount of three quarters of a mil
lion dollars changed hands on the Sc
ries. it appeals to me. as the foundation
of a STORY"
That the lacing was unexpected was
well attested by the early betting on
the series. Prior to the opening game
at Philadelphia, betting was so abnor-
NAL that even had word been passed
that the series was a frame up for
the Cubs to win, it could not have been
more unsettled. Two to one on the
opening game was freely offered on
the Cubs, while on the series it was a
case of write your own ticket. Right
here it might be mentioned that had
the situation been reversed-with the
Chicagoans well known penchant for
having bet down-the cleanup would
have been even more monumental. AS
1t was, the cold deductors, men of close
-affiliation with the world of specula-
ton, took advantage of prices which
were palpably out of line, figuring
that at such prices it was "a good bet
if you lose" and dumped the proverbial
ton of money on the local bourse-the
great clearing house-which, in the
umpire to play ball" drove the quo
tations down, down, down, until even
money was the prevailing quotations.
Chicago Sports Loyal.
After the fatal ticker had told the
tale of the invincible Bender, the Cub
fans only shrugged their shoulders,
disclaiming defeat with the ever ready
alibi at was a fluke' That they be-
lieved it, is borne out by the fact that
they bet their money, not on the series,
but on each days game with the result

annals when the fans were so clean
as at the present moment. This is bet
ter illustrated, when it is stated that
men, in every walk of life-the hutch
er, the baker, and the candlestiek
maker-men who had meyer been
known to have a bet down, were there
with the healthy plunge. The result,
as previously indicated, was the crush
ing out of many hopes for Christmas
presents, while in many instances alb
ject want lies in the wake of the
worlds series.
One Of the strange incongruities of
the betting on this series, was that
sentiment played an enthusiastically
small part. Contrary to precedent, the

can account, in a measure, for the ex-

the grand prize of the Automobile clnp

result of the recent Vanderbilt cup

Every precaution is being taken to

The shattering Of road records seems
Inevitable as the contest this year is
an outandout freforall with no lin

International Association of Recog-
nized Automobile clubs has no formula
for international racing in force this
year. no restrictions are made as 10
weight, cylinder dimensions, ETC., the
only condition being that all cars must
conform to the ruling Of the technical
committee of the automobile Club Of
America as to safety requirements.
Hence, the entry list, which undoubt-

bilt cup race, will have more speedy

The race for the small cars which
will be run the day before the grand
prize event, promises to be a record;
breaker in point Of the number OF

than 80 cars will compete for beth the

Taking All Boxers Out
Of Country To Europe
By w. w. Naughton

q AN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. g.
-, What with sending boxers to Aus
tralia and offering inducements to
other boxers to visit England, it looks
as if Hugh D. Mcintosh, the enterpris-
ing Australian promoter is trying to
depopulate this country, so far as
fighters are concerned.
A good deal has been printed recent
ly regarding McIntoshs plans and some
of the news given to the public has
been of a contradictory character, it
seems to me that letter received
from Mcintosh a few days ago should
be of interest, in addition to setting at
rest a good many things that are in
doubt The letter is dated London,
Oct. 10, and reads as follows:
AT present 1 am engaged on a series
of elimination contests for the pur-
pose of finding out who is the actual
holder of the English championship.
Under the absurd conditions the Lord
Lonsdale belt has been fought for
conditions which 1 am sure his lord
ship has no knowledge Oft is quite
impossible to say who is the champion.
ct is stipulated that all contests
held for this championship of England
belt must be held at the National Sport
ing club. 1t so happens that the Eng
lish champion, whichever he may hap
pen to be, is repeatedly knocked out
in contests arranged by outside pro-
motors, but, according to the rules, he
still holds the title until such time as
he is. defeated at the National Sporting
club In the meantime, the National
will not give the champion a contest
because of his being defeated so many
times at other places and having lost
his drawing capacity. This state of
things causes the situation to be look
ed upon as a joke by the boxing en-
thusiasts of England.

I'm order to clear away al doubt. am

emily. in England today are Bombar-

a purse of $4,000 for contest with

ally remarkable how all of the big fell

L Campau, secretary of the Florida
State Fair and Racing associa-
ton, who has just closed the stake
nomina ton for the winter meeting at
Moncrief Park, is authority for the
statement that Sam Hildreth will race
a pretentious string of horses through
out the session at the Florida track
Furthermore the astute trainer has en-
gagged Fitz Herbert, the champion ma
tured horse of the year, and Novelty
winner of the Futurity, in all stakes
for which they are eligible. and states
positively that they will fill all en-
gagements.
The meeting just now in progress at
Latonia marks a new epoch in fall
racing. Upwards OF 1000 horses are
quartered at or near the track, while
class is an outstanding feature. Prob
ably no one thing has contributed 10
this quite so much as the 1iberality OF
the management in announcing a pre-
tentious stake list, while no purse of
less value than $500 is hung up.
Grand Circuit Trofters.
The prediction has been made that
the time will soon come when trotters
Of four years old and under viii mon

weeks meeting at Lexington go long
way toward backing up this prophecy.
The shining light of the meeting in
events for all ages, was Joan, four
year old who won both the Transylva-
MIA and Walnut Hall cup races. In the
latter event, she set a worlds record
for age at 2.04 ga, beating the record
of Directunl, which had stood for sew
enteen years. full second. in the
same race, Billy Burk, another four
year old. won second money, the aged
horses, Willy and Hailworthy, finish
ing back of the youngsters.
joan was not the only young trotter
to star in the class open to all ages.
There were Soprano, John Madden s
four year old chestnut filly, who won
a hard fought five heat race from a
high class of 2.09 trotters, her chief
competitors being Brane Girdle and
Starie, both of whom took records of
205 IA at Columbus. Soprano is a
wonderfully game filly, long drawn
out races being her speciality.
Another youngster to distinguish
himself at the trots was the four year
old colt, The Plunger who won the
2.13 trot, taking a record of EOS L.,
then came back and won the Stoll
Stakes after a five heat battle with
Baron Penn, cutting his record to

Tommy Burns's Future.
From the foregoing it will be seen
Mcintosh has his doubts as to what
the future holds for Tommy Burns in
the fighting line and in consequence
does not count with any certainty OF
having Burns taking part in the first
campaign planned for London during
the coming winter.
A letter received from Tommy a few
days ago, however, makes it appear
that Burns is looking forward to re-
entering the ring in the near future.
Tommy, who is filling a theatrical en-
gagement in the northwest, says: Il
had to postpone the Langford fight,
