LONG SHOTS WIN
 AQUEDUCT PURSES

Players and layers divided the card yesterday at the sAqueduct race track, the form students picking three win ners, which were strongly backed, while the men who quote odds profit ed when two long shots and a lightly fancied second choice took down the long end of the purses in the remain ing events. The gibbest< upset of the day came in the fifth race, when R. F. Carman's aged horse, G. M. Miller 8 to 20 favorite, was handily beaten by James MacManuS~ lilly Robinetta, at to l, and Captain c. K. Rock wells gelding Stonehenge,I a 12 to 1 chance.
 Another surprise came in the open ing event. a five furlong dash for two year-olds. x Broomvale and Startling on form figured to have the race to themselves, but the winner turned up ing G. J. OsReilly'ss colt Sasin, against which 8 to was offered. Sasin showed a fine burst of speed in the final furlong after running wide at the stretch turn, and he got up in time to beat Broomva1e by head, with Startling only a nose behind the place horse.
 Sasin a $50 Horse.
 1t was the second time within a few weeks that Sasin was returned a winner at good price. He was ac- quired at a year1ing sale by his pres ent owner for $50, despit the fact that he is of good stock, being a son of The Picket, winner of the Ameri- can Derby at Washington Park, Chi cago, in 1903, and, AS a four-yearo1d, victor in the Brooklyn HandicaD.

In 1906 Meyers played with the Harrisburg, Pa-, Tri-State Club, and the following. year he was with Butte, Mont. Toward the close of the season the Indian was sold to St. Paul, and in 1908 he left the Minnesota capital to join the Giants. McGraw paid s6s000 for the TChief, 9 and from the very first he had no req son to regret it.

YATES, GREAT
 TACKLE, LOST
 TO YALE TEAM


 New Haven, July Arthur Yates, probably the most valuable member of the remarkable Yale freshman eleven of last faII has withdrawn from col lege and will not be available for the varsity team the coming season This announcement is the severest blow the officials of the 1915 eleven have had The material for the teaIk was regard ed unusually. strong and Yatess indi- vidua1 power was one of the -surest links in the chain which was to bind the eleven into a team of unity and strength.
 Yates was tackle on the 1918 eleven last fall and critics regarded him gen orally as the best class tackle of the year. Had he been eligible for the varsity he would easily have won a in many ine-advvancing plays, espe- cial1y after dropping behind the line to half-back. In the pIungfng drives planned for this fall the attack with Yates carrying the ball was reckoned upon heavily.
 Several other of the most valuable members of the freshman eleven of last fall are entangled in scholarship complications and maybe able to join the Yale eleven when the season opens Their doubtfulness- of eligibility has altered the entire Yale outlook and made uncertain the teams compost tion- Most of the players in doubt will have g, chance to regain their eligibil- ity. by passing off scholarship exau1in- ations in September and all are dili- gently preparing for the football sea son by studying. this summer

French Declare Steel Helmets Are
 Useful Safeguard

Dunkirk. France. July 2S.-stee1 helmets have now been in use sum- cientIy long in the French army to prove that they are a useful protec- ton to infantrymen. They have saved a large number of men in the front trenches from being either wounded or killed by shrapneI fire and have effectively warded off the side-strike Of rifle bullets.
 The soldiers are enthusiastic about their use, and the delay anticipated in turning them out is partly over come by the fact that they are only used in the firing line and supporting trenches.
 It is officially stated that the thin chrome steel helmets cost less than seven cents each.

Once Great spftbal1er of the Champion
 Athletics Unable to Go the Route.
9Y MORGAN RELEASED
UNCONlDITIONALLY.

: a ' On one occasion, back in 1910, when Morgan was alternating with Iron Man Jack Coombs because of injuries to the rest of the staf,e Danny Murphy said: If Morgan had Coornbs' conf dence he would be one, of the grea test pitchers in the world. never saw a man who had more sfstuff on the bali than the minstrel. and if he thorough 1y believed in hirnself he would win 90 per cent of his games
 Seldom has twirler shown more ability than did big tCy during that period, particularly from July 2 to September 2,sMhen he won Il and lost three ganes-two of them by a single run. For two weeks, aided by Coon bs, tho iron hearted ohioan stood the gam alone, and earned all the applause he received.
 On November 10 Morgan will have reached his 35th birthday, and is of those years have been passed in pro- fesS1onsli baseball @s1
 After winning 22 games for St Paul in 1906 Morgan said good4by to the American Association and started on his major league career with the Red sox- Deacon Jim, McGsltre handled the reinS in thosa days and Boston floundered about in seventh place with a poor fielding. weak hitting club Old Cyss Young was the only pitcher on the staff who twirled better ball than Morgan did in the two years he sojourned in the City of Beans. The season Of 1909 found Connie Mack with a nearly completed team a team that was to become the wonder of the baseball world, and snbstan- italy increase Philadelphia's athletic fame. In Coombs he possessed an
 Iron Man;;' in Plank, a wonderful southpaw, and in Bender, the best
 money pitcher in the game But he needed still another first class man to round out his staffzto a perfect whole Vic Schlitzer, Jimmy Dygert and Rube Vickers failed to come up to Mack's ante-season expectations, so the canny pilot offered a trade with Boston for their spit tballer, Morgan.
 They say Connie has never been bilked in a trade, and he certainly had all the best of this one. aSchIftzer and big wad of money were sent to New England and the Ohio blonde reported ready for immediate service SchIitzer never did particularly well for John T. Taylor's club and soon went to the minors, while up until A912 Morgan re- paid Mack a dozen times for his pl1r- chase price.
 Just a year after Connie Mack re- leased him under the impression that he was all in, three biz, league e1u bs 1and one of them was the Athletics. according to baseball history), were bidding for his services Manager Charley Carr refused to let him go in face of many tempting offers, for, with the exception of Fireman Jim, Vaughn, not another twirIer on the staff appeared capable even of finish ing a. game. However, Cincinnati took Morgan through the draft at the finish of the season
 Right there matters wound up, with a tangle. Cy reported with a badly strained arm, and Garry Hermann @deelarfng that Kansas City was aware og the yeteran's Icondition) refused to pay the purchase price. So the big blonde found that he must travel the familiar way to Kansas City once again.

 Courtney, on June F. suffered fracture at the base Of the skuif, and until the night of June 28. after the varsity race in the Poughkeepsde re- gatta had been rowed and won by the Cornell crew. Then it was that Courtney collapsed. and it was dis covered that for 15 days he had borne intense pain without a word
 Those who were with Courtney in the Cornell training quarters at Foughkeepsie say he was the hearty, genial soul he always was. His eye was clear, his grip firm and his whole Bearing seemed to indicate that he was in the best of health All this was pose, done to deceive his ssboyss,' and to keep them from getting down cast on the eve of the big race Bet ter to sacrifice myself than the boys eeenis to have been C0urtney's the ory.

No wonder Hugh McKinnon of this city, quit his job as secretary of the Hartford, Colonial league club. He received word that his salary had been cut from $15o to $50 a. month despite the fact that R. B. Ward and Presi- dent Gilmore promised to take care of him when he was doing the gumshoe e act around these parts last winter. When McKinnon reminded the Feeder al officials of those promises he was given the laugh. The Colonial league is losing so much money that expenses must be cut to the bone.
 Jim Savage may be selected for Jim Coffey's opponent in the bout to be held in New Haven, August 20- Ar thur PeIky was first mentioned but the sport writers declared he would be a. chopping block for Coffey so the management went gunning for some body e1se..
