HASHA WINS SPEED EVENT

and won easily, leading the local man by several seconds.
 The final race between Hasha, Bake and De Roster was expected to be a thriller, and by7the way it came near be- ing one As the race was in progress the contestng teams of the football game took the field for practice, and during the progress of the race one of the How ard supporters ran directly in front of Bake as he was coming down the stretch. The rider had to shut down his machine to keep from running into the man, and while it made no difference irl the final result, as Hasha had the race soVed up, so to speak, when the incl dent happened, yet 1t might have resulted in serious injury to both the rider and intruder. It would have cost Bake the event had the race been close.
 Hasha simply walked away from both fis opponents, taking the lead in the start and steadily increasing the distance be- tween his competitors until they were both hopelessly behind Hasha finished the five miles in the fast time of 425 Bake finished second, De Roster third.

WHAT IS DOING ON GRIDIRON AND THE WORLD OF SPORTS
MESSENGER BOY WINS FEATURE

At the third mile Nadzu had taken the lead with Messenger Boy second and Royal Report third.
 In the final gruelling turn around the track Royal Report carrying 122 pounds was forced to quit. At the start of the fourth mile Messenger Boy began to draw close to Nadzu and al the half passed him and drew steadily away until at the finish he was eight lengths ahead.
 The time for the four miles was AT 4-5, 3:S5 3-5, 5:22 4-5, and 7:i1 1-5 minutes.
 This breaks the Kentucky record of 7:15at minutes, made by Tenbroecx carry ing 104 pounds September 2, 1876, and is within seconds Of the record made by Lueretia Borga carrying S5 pounds at Oakland.
 In the fifth race, Rhasneth ran away at the barrier and went three miles, be- ing declared out of the race by the judges This delayed the programme so long that when the last race was run it was almost night and the horses could hardly be distinguished from the grand- stand.
 Only in the Kentucky derby has there ever been more interest manifest in race than was in the endurance stake. As on Derby day the infed was free and it was crowded notwithstanding it was cold and rain fell during the afternoon. Rain ceased during the running of the card. The crowd was estimated at 15,000 persons seeing the marathon.

Louisville October 7-Test of stamina in which Msly thoroughbred of highest class had ( chance was seen in the endur- ance stake of four miles at Churchill Downs this afternoon, and Messenger Boy proved the best breaking the track and the Kentucky record Content to lay back from the lead until three miles and a half had been run, he drew away from Nadzu, the favorite, fast tiring under the heavy impost of 122 pounds, and won by eight lengths.
 Messenger Boy carried only 1O6 pounds and the weight told on the horses in the long grind with the jockeys letting them go practically as they pleased. A drive at the finish would have been impossible, as the energy of each horse finishing had practically been spent
 Of the 19 candidates and six possible starters only four horses faced Starter Cassidy, Nadzu, Messenger Boy. Aylincr and Royal Report in the order as favored by the public speculation.
 At the first mile Royal Report was 15 lengths ahead with Davenport pulling him up hard to save him. Nadzu was second, Aylnler third, and Messenger Boy trailed far behind. The next mile saw them in the same positions, but in the third mile Aylmer who had dropped be- hind quit.

Nashville. October 7.--(Special)- With the introduction of football in the south in the early nineUies it was little dreamed that the system of professional coaching would reach its present stage CT development where every college and practically every preparatory school maintains a paid instructor at salary generally about equal that of the aver age member of the faculty. When it Is considered that the actual term of football instruction includes about 10 weeks only 1t can be readily appreci- ated how unnecessary it would be for {, Carnegie pension allowance for col lege professors were faculty members oompensated' at the same rate in point of time as the average football coach. There is little criticism heard, however, among faculty members on this point and hence the presumption is that in the main the salaries of football in- structors are considered a good invest ment in collegiate circles.
 When the game first came into vogue in Dixie in the early nineties, coaching was done gratis by those who imported the game. These were men who had attended eastern institutions and had either played the game there or had teen studious sideline spectators. Many coaches were of the latter class and consequently early grldron teaching was decidedly informal. In 1S95-96 pro- fessional coaches were in vogue and fer many years this supply came prac- tically entirely from Yale, Harvard Princeton and Pennsylvania. Not until Fielding II. Yost burst upon the horizon at Michigan ip 1901 and commenced tt startle the football world with hi: hurry-up methods and point minute play did the tide turn in this respect with the result that southern football as a system may be characteriZed to- day as more nearly western than east ern. This is particularly true of the style of games played among colleges comprising the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association. The character oi play prevailing in Virginia and the Carolinas has always been modelled with very few exceptions, along New England lines. Among $. l. A. A. col leges it is noticeable that but one Yale coach is to be found today, in Mike Donahu of Auburn, while neither liar yard nor Princeton is represented at all

BATTLING NELSON DESCANTS
 ON MODERN FIGHTING GAME
By BATTLING NELSON

Sailor Burke in New York was mis- erable affair. Billy has gone to pieces. One day he fights like world beater, while in his next bout he boxes like a cheese" champion.
 Frank Klaus is promising youngster, but lacks finish. Cyclone Johnny" Thompson is practically all in and will never become any better. Bob Moha has been coming fast during the past year and is likely to upset the wise men before long.
 In the lightweight class we have a fun ny champion. His name is Adolph Vol gast and he comes from Cadillac, Mich. Wolgast is telling his farm hands what a great man Ad Wolgast is. His head is swelled to such an extent that he can not look out of the window without hit ting the sash.
 Among the featherweights Abe Attell should be champion for several years to come while in the bantomweight divis- ion there Is another big muddle, with several men claiming the title. Johnny Goulon looks to be the logical choice for the title, though Jimmy Walsh is Q mighty good boy.
 Going back away I consider that Joe Cans was one of the greatest lightweights that ever pulled on a glove. He was 8 marvellous boxer and also a hitter of no mean ability.
 Cans made and lost a fortune during his connection with the ring When the white plague" claimed Cams there was more than one boxer who had met .linl in the ring who said to himself: ''We have lost one of the most scientific men in the world and a man who wouldn't pull off dirty trick in order to win"
 Cans came in for a great deal of criti- cism on account of the several fake fights in which he was one of the prin- cipals. But Joe cannot be blamed for this altogether as he was surrounded by bunch of money sharks who snared hin in carefully placed traps.

Dr. Longwel Towards coach. was thoroughly disgusted during the game yesterday afternoon on account of what he thought incorrect interpretation of the rules on the part of officials.
 Mccoy, an old Auburn football star, made one or more decisions which were not in keeping with the spirit and letter of the law governing the game. He dis played a marked unfamiliarity with the latest fashion of the rules. This caused the players of both teams to grow des- perate, and as a result the play became a fight and bitter one at that. There was considerable sluggng, considerable swearing, and many Attractions of the rules of fair and honest sport. Innumer- able penalties were inflicted, and this de- tracted from the interest. The crowd jeered and grew disgusted It was an awful afternoon.
 Interest in football as a result received another back set Since it became the rule of procedure to revise the game every winter, there has not been the same amount of interest as in years gone. And when exhibitions occur such as that of yesterday, there are a great many who would care very little were the entire game eliminated.
 It is unwise to select any other than competent officials. An incompetent offi-

 Speedy Hasha, the intrepid younsster from Denver riding an Indian" won the final in the fast time of 4:25.
 Bake and Hasha were the contestants in the first three mile heat. They ran a close race, keeping well together during the three mile spin around the track. Hasha took the lead in the start and maintained it throughout the race, finish ing in 2:37ia; Bake was a close second in 2:3S1s.
 The second three mile event found De- Roster, the worlds champion, and Bob Stubbs the contestants. De Roster had the usual trouble in starting his ma chine, but got away on the flying start

DAVIS AND AUBURN DEFEAT
 MERGER BY HANDSOME SCORE

Auburn, October 7.-(Special. )-Run- ming John Davis until he sank eX- hausted, Auburn defeated Mercer here this afternoon by a score of 29 to c.. Davis made four touchdowns alone. He never failed to gain through broken fields often without interference He ran with an unerring eye for holes, and an unerring stiff arm He was in vincible.
 Auburn men have never seen before such an exhibition of football. Much of the superb ground gaining went for nothing, however, as fumbles and pen burn three apparently inevitable touch- downs. In the first quarter there was no score although Auburn rushed the ball more than the length of the field
 In Davis class was Kirk Newell, Auburns quarterback, who ran back punts for gains of 20. 30 and 40 yards, and who pulled off other stunts of broken field running that were superb.
 The fifth touchdown was made by Major, who ran the team after Davis and Newell were taken out, and who went 15 yards through center for the score. Major kicked every goal ex- cept the one after his touchdown.
 The game was marred by the injury of Brown, Mercer's quarterback, whose left arm was dislocated at the elbow when he oollided with Newell in chase for @ fumble.~
 Mercer had only one chance to. score when she received the ball in Auburn's territory and attempted place kick, which failed. Major for Auburn also attempted yainly a place kick
 Beyond that, Mercer made first down but twice, They made nothing for Au- burns defensive work was superb, Grice and Bradford of Mercer were good in defense
