WHITNEY LUCK ON
THE ENGLISH TURF
His Elaborate Establishment

Unsuccessful.

LONDON. September 1s.-Harry Payne
Whitney's adventure on the English turf
this year has cost him cool quarter Of
a million dollars. This is the compute
ton Of English turf experts
W'hitney's luck since March has been
SO bad that 1t has been a byword on the
race track. He has had more than forty
horses in training. but he has won only
thirteen races, and they were mostly
small events.
Few English turfmen. even Leopold
Rothschild, Sir Ernest Cassel, or the Joel
brothers, maintain racing stables on such
a scale Of magnificence as Whitney. His
trainer. Andrew Jackson Joyner. says
that they cost $4,000 a year in forfets
alone, that is, in sums paid to release
horses from their engagements to run in
events for which they have been entered.
On this side entries for the leading
two-year-ol old and three-year-old races are
made year to eighteen months ahead.
When Whitney has yearling he thinks
promising he enters him in thirty or
forty races. In one race to be run at
Newmarket next year he has just entered
thirty horses. When 1t Is remembered
that it costs anything from 500 to $3.50
Whitney does things, the amount he
stands to lose can easily be seen.
The greater part of his small winnings
this season were contributed by his four
year-old Whiskbroom. His three-year-
old Borrow, which was in the front rank
as a two-year-oId, has done nothing this
season. Neither has All Gold or Iron

only one excuse for 1t, and that Is when
the clubs have to play extra innings IN

would reverse the standing or the lead

the series up to twelve victories for
Brooklyn and nine for Chicago; But II
the Dodgers were hard for the Cubs they

NEW YORK, September 1S.-While the
Giants have not yet cinched the National
League pennant. base ball sharps are
figuring out victory for McGraw's men,
providing they maintain their present
fast gait. The Giants have twenty-six
games to play-three with Pittsburgh. four
with Chicago, three with Cincinnati. five
with st. Louis, three with Philadelphia,
seven with Brooklyn and one with Bos-
ton. II they are able to keep up $40

il figured that they should win sixteen
games at least. which would include
possible two out Of three from the
Pirates, an even break in Chicago, two
out of three in Cincinnati, three out OF
five In st. Louis, two out of three with
Philadelphia and five victories over the
Brooklyns. At that rate McGraw's men
would finish the campaign with ninety
eight victories, fifty-six defeats and a
percentage of .636.
With only twenty-five games to play

it impossible to tie the New Yorks under
such conditions. as the Cubs still have
four games to play with the Giants, three

six with Philadelphia, four with Boston
and one each with Cincinnati and Brook

Philadelphia, three with Boston and

When It comes to experimenting with

class by himself. The Highlanders' In

knight has been shifted from short to
second several times, while John Hart
zeI and Cree have been used at short.
Cree is the latest experiment at short
field, while Hartzell has been sent to the
outfeld. Judged on their work on the
local field the New York infield as 1t
was formerly made up always appeared
to give satisfaction, but for some reason
or other 1t has never suited Chase.
Knight always plays brilliant ball here
at short and Is one Of the teams most
timely hitters. yet Chase Is trying hard
to find some other position for him
Little credence is placed in the reports
that knight and Gardner are to be let
out by the Highlanders. Knight would
be grabbed by any one Of the other seven
teams, and even Gardner would be given
a chance. It may be that it is not be-
cause Of their playing that Chase makes
changes and threatens to let out some OF
his players, but because there is internal
dissension. though there does not appear
to have been any evidence to warrant
this charge
Had Pittsburgh had the services Of
Hans Wagner all this season the Pirates
would undoubtedly have been real con-
tenders for the flag. II. in fact. they
would not be leading tho procession. It
is no easy matter to fill the place of the
best hitter In the National League. and
any number of the games which the
Pirates lost by a single run might have
been victories had Wagner been In tie
game. It Is true enough perhaps that a
bal team consists OF more than one
man, but there are few men more valu-
able to team than Wagner.
Jim Flynn's victory over Carl Morris
has made the Pueblo fireman quite a
card In New York, and fight promoters
are falling over each other in an effort
to get him matched with some of the
heavyweights. Flynn Is ready to take on
any one excepting Sam Langford. He
does not care for the Tar Baby's game,
but is anxious to mix 1t up with Joe
Jeanette. and in the event OF scoring a
victory he wants to tackle Langford.
Langford has beat Flynn, and the latter
is not finding 1t an easy matter to con-
vince himself that he stands a chance to
beat the colored fighter.

The second game OF the double-header
between the Chicagos and the Pittsburgh
ers on Friday was called at the end OF
the sixth inning on account OF darkness,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Under
no conditions should this have been nee
essary. particularly In view OF the fact
that the first game went only the regular
nine innings. BY virtue Of the standing
of the contending clubs these games were
as important as any that will be played
during the remainder Of the season. and
that the last one was not played to the
legal conclusion of nine innings shows a
lack Of foresight on the part of the Of
ficials of the Pittsburgh club. who alone
have the authority to decide the hour for

OF the second game was unfair to the

intimate with the terms of the five-year

That means that Manager Bresnahan,
besides getting very fat annual stipend.
will cut in on juicy percentage OF the

prove potent candidates for the National

a moral certainty that Manager Bresna-

BLACKSBURG, Va. September IA
Prospects are bright for foot ball at the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute this year.
though no line can be had as yet on the
probable makeup Of the eleven when IL is
ready for the grill the schedule provides
for The schedule this year has under
gone some change, but this does not mean
that the games will not be UP to the high
standard set for the Techs during the past
few years, for 1t will be one OF the
hardest any southern college Will tackle
during the season.
Five of the games arranged are with
teams played last year, but the games
with Navy, Eastern, Marysville ana
George Washington have been replaced
with contests with Yale, University OF
Maryland. Morris Harvey College and the
University of Tennessee.
Getting a game with the Yale eleven
means that the Techs have accomplished
something that numerous other southern
schools have failed in for years. and this
game will be watched with more than
ordinary interest throughout the entire
southland. 1t will be the real battle be-
tween the north and south during the
season.
The annual game with Washington and
Lee at Roanoke will arouse greater inter-
est than ever before, while the contest
with Tennessee will create interest, for
these two schools are rivals of long stand
ing, but the game the Techs will fight
hardest for will be the one with the Uni
versity OF North Carolina, for Branch Be-
cock, who coached the Techs for several
years, will make a strong effort to lead
the Tar Heels this year to victory over
the Blacksburg eleven.
This game will only serve to increase
the interest In the Thanksgiving day
game with the A. & NJ. College of North
Carolina, scheduled again this year for
Norfolk. In 1909 the Techs won this con-
test, 10 to 8, but last year the Tar Heels
took a hard-fought battle by the score OF
to 3. This years fight, therefore, will
be the deciding one for the past three
years, and Norfolk is expected to turn
OUT a record-breaking crowd for the
game.
The schedule is as follows:
October championships at Blacks
burg.
October University Of Maryland
(pending).
October 14-YaIe at New Haven.
October 21-Western Maryland 1t
Blacksburg.
October 2S-Washington and Lee at Roa-

lima at Richmond.
