after Tuesday, sometime Wednes-
day. Nothing definite has been ar
ranged regarding this as yet, though
the usual admission Is from fifty
cents UP.
~. P. N:
Please let your orbs rest on the en-
closed cutting from the New York
American. Some assertion Please
let us know what you think of this
little bit of original news. Seems as
though the American was striking out
in a new direction with nothing but
authentic news. For the benefit of
the world at large please enlighten
US, as to who did win the pennant?
Another question / would like to
ask you, and that is this: What coun-
try possesses the speediest train for
a run not over 500 miles?
Please quote few statistics Of the
time taken to run, say from fifty
miles up to 500. BY that I mean,
what is the record time for a run of
around fifty miles, 100, 200 and SO on.
Very truly yours. SCOTTY.
The clipping referred to states that
the Tigers lost the pennant this year
because Ebbets recalled Collins,
Aitchison and McCarty. Ever since
lyour communication arrived we have
been busy delving into the records to
find out If we had been "Docooked"
and the Tigers did not really win the
pennant, but corps of experts have
failed utterly in the effort to discover
that they did not win the international
League flag. Therefore we shall not
regard the Tigers as guilty of losing
the pennant" this year until 1t has
been proven conclusively. Maybe the
american correspondent was smok-
ling hops when he penned those fur
tive lines.
The fastest time on record for
la distance of over 440 miles was
made on the Lake Shore and Mich
ligan Southern railroad, from Buffalo
to Chicago In June, 1905, a distance
lof 525 miles in hours and so min
lutes, an average of $3.50 miles an
hour. The record run for 1925 miles
was made from London to Didcot, in
lforty-seven minutes, an average of
68 miles an hour. Running from Pad
ldington to Bristol England, a train
made 84.6 miles an hour, covering
l11S.5 miles in hour "a minutes. The
Pennsylvania railroad established a
lrecord in February, 1911, when a
train went from Altoona to Philadel-
lphia, 1886 miles, In 3 hours and 20
minutes, averaging 67.2 miles an
hour. There are numerous other
records. Among the regular trains
lin the United States the fastest are
said to be the Empire State express,
Ion the New York Central, travelling
LAB miles In It's minutes, from New
York to Albany.
The Congressional limited on the
Pennsylvania railroad goes from Jer-
sey City to Washington, a distance
lof 227 miles, in 4 hours 46 minutes.

Where do the gate receipts" for
the Harvard-Yale game go? Are In
dividual players paid? To whom are
the players responsible for their con-
duct on the field?
HARRY BROWN.
The gate receipts are divided up
between the athletic associations of
the two colleges, and are used to
defray the expenses incurred in main
tanning football-such as coaches sal
Iaries, training table, etc. The surplus
Is used to meet the expenditures in
other lines of sport, for all college
athletics do not pay as well as foot
ball. The players receive no none
tary reward. The honor of playing
on the team and securing a varsity
letter in one of the big games is In
itself sufficient reward to the college
boys. The captain Is supposed to be
In charge of the team on the Held,
and the players are supposed to obey
his commands.
