NOVELTY RACES PLANNED.
Interesting Feature During Coming
Meeting at the Laurel Track.

Manager II. d. Brown has already
started in to look for features not only
of interest to thoroughbred racing. He
has decided to give one of his famous
novelty races October I. which will be
the first Saturday of the meeting of the
Maryland State Fair Association at Lau-
rel These novelty races We're first origi-
mated at Moncreif Park, Jacksonville. by
Mr. Brown, and were most successful.
They were something that had never been
seen before. and many looked on 1t as
impossible to bring horse man and ma
chine together in handicap contests. The
handicap was successful that in the first
event of the kind pulled off the man. who
won. the horse and machine all finished
within three-tifths of a second
Such an event will be given at Laurel
Two foot runners will be selected from
the entry after preliminary trials have
been held. Two horses will start. as
we'll as two automobiles. The equines
will travel six furlongs and the men and
machines will be handicapped to them
A special path will be built for the run
ners, to give them every opportunity.
Several of these races were held last
winter, and each one was more success.
full than the former. ANY foot runner de-
string TO take part In this event can
send his name 10 Manager Brown at
Laurel. Owners and drivers of auto
mobiles are requested to do the same.
Preliminary trials will be held for the
foot runners two or three days previous
to the race, and the best man will be
chosen to start in the race. The purse
for the event will be sufficiently large
to attract the best of the sprinters at
the course to enter. Lots Will be drawn
for the horses, and the two will be chosen
in that way.

Wymard, the Georgetown tackle. VINO, II
was rumored, would not play foot bay
this year, will be out for the team tomor-
row or Thursday. While there are cef
tain reasons why Wymard has so far
failed to report for practice, it is practl-
cally sure that these will be eliminated
within the next few days. and the serv-
ices of one of the best linemen in the
south will be again available to the Blue
and Gray coach
Wymard has so far failed to report for
work because of little differences that ex-
list in the college. and because of tie fact
that his parents are not very anxious for
him to play this year 1t was stated at
the college this morning, though. that
everything will be satisfactorily arranged,
and Wymard will come out to play his
old position.
That Wymard will be out for the team
is pretty certain. He is too fine a
fellow to let any little differences that
might exist in the college interfere with
lending his services to the eleven when
he knows they are needed. He real
ICES that it would be impossible 10 fill
his position, and that unless he consents
to give his time and service to the eleven
would, and so would stand less chance
of making good showing in the big
games on the schedule.
That Wymard is mighty valuable
man is certain to any one who Is good
judge of a player. If his other work We're
mediocre his punting would place nia in
a class by himself as far as South At
lantic foot ball goes. AS 1t is. though.
Wymard is a good man, both on the CT
Tense and defense. 1t is doubtful if
there is more than one man in the South
who is his superior in either playing the
defense or offense in the tackle po-
sition Up at Fordham two years ago
Georgetown held the New Workers t. a
90 score. when they were ordinarily
about thirty points better, simply by vr-
tue of Wymards wonderful punting. 1t
was shown just how valuable a man he
is in a close game. and the fact that he
plays well both on the offense and de-
Tense makes him all the more to be ap-
preciated.

So far in the practice there has been no

It now begins to look as though the
Georgetown backfield will be made up of
Dunn, Fury and White In fact. it is
practically certain that this trio will be
depended on to gain the majority of the
ground for the Blue and Gray eleven in
it's coming games. unless it be that some
unknown may drop in and win one of
the places.
In this connection 1t might be mention
ed that Dunn is likely to do much better
work this year than last. The former
Holy Cross man has been showing up
better in practice this fall and is work
ing more conscientiously to get in good
condition. By the time of the Carlisle
game Dunn should be in shape to play a
better game of foot ball than he did at
any time last year. and that is saying a
great deal
Shipley of NJ. A. c.. at halfback, Is
showing up just as well in comparison as
he did at quarter last fall. Coach DON
nelly shifted the former helmsman to

have worked for the good of the eleven.

Little is being heard of the other high
school teams. Central seems to be the
cynosure of all eyes. The others are
probably saving little and saving wood,
which is not bad habit by any means.
Western High has yet failed to have

first game tomorrow, not a very favor

The men who have charge of the vari-
Gus teams in this section will not have
obtained a good line on their players I'M

a coach can give a fairly good estimate
of the mans ability in practice. 1t is not
possible for him to tell exactly what a
man is until he has seen him under fire.
What man can do in game is a whole
lot different from what he shows in the
workouts against the scrubs, and it may
be that after the initial contests have

PAY DAY FOR TEACHERS
TOBE NEAR OCTOBER |
No Promise, But 1t Is Believed
Cash Will Be Welcomed
Whenever.

Seventeen hundred and fifty school
teachers and great many employees or
the school service are looking forward to
the first part of October. when $4,000
in pay will be distributed from the Of
flee of Louis Wilson. disbursing officer
OF the District of Columbia For the
teachers this will be the first salary re-
ceived since the schools have closed, and
it will be welcomed with genuine.
heartfelt gratitude known only to those
who have had a dry summer, financially
speaking.
No promise is made by the secretary of
the board of education as to when the
pay roll, now being made up, will go TO
the District building. In former years
there has been delay which meant per-
sonal Inconvenience of the meanest sort
to many teachers. Following the eX-
perience of last year few changes were
made in the system of keeping the
teachers time and the system now
followed virtually brings the pay roll up
to date at the close of each day. BY
card index system the employees of the
board of education are enabled to hurry
their pay roll to the District building
and still conform with the many intricate
requirements Of the law.
