PETER STEVENS REMATCHED.
Joe Boy TO Race Him at Reading
Next Thursday.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-Another match
race has been made for the Peter Stevens
PAGER which was defeated Thursday at
Narberth by r. n. Brett in four-heat
race. Joe Boy, OF Dan Leary fame, Is
the horse that seeks to take the measure
of the upstate sidewheeler.
Dan Leary was present at the Brett
match Thursday, and no doubt he was
impressed with the fact that HIS old cam
paigner. Joe Boy, could outfoot the Peter
racer. Arrangements already-have been
made for the race, which is to take place
next Thursday over the new Reading
half-mile track.
Joe Boy is q consistent performer over
half-mile rings, but whether he can show
speed enough to cope with that OF Peter
Stevens remains to be seen. Ray Sue-

BIGENTRYLIST
Indications Point to Great
Winter Meeting at Juarez
Track.
LEADING RACER ON HAND

Juarez. Mexico, Oct. 23.-Informa-
tion daily received here from Latonia
ny, and other tracks indicates that
the usual large number Of horses will
be on hand for the big winter race
meeting at this track. which begins
Thanksgiving Day. Thursday. Novem-
Der IS, and runs for a period of 100 or
more racing days.
From Latonia will come the big spe-
cial train. leaving there at the close
OF the meeting now on at that track
the last of this month. On this spe-
clal VIII probably be this fall as many
horses as have ever before been
shipped from that point to this course,
ana those that have already booked
applications for cars on this train en-
brace stables that have at present
some OF the very best horses that are
in training.
\ great racing star and a performer
that is most popular/with patrons of
the JuareZ race track Is among the
horses booked to race at this course
the coming winter. That performer
is the great Iron Mask, which is once
more in charge of his old trainer.
Nose Goldblatt. and the latter ex-
presses the belief that he will bring
the great Splinter back to the form
the coming winter that marked his
running at this track when he set two
remarkable worlds records at 1--WE and
a half furlongs and six furloRgs
Iron Mask always did we'll in train
ing at the JuareZ course, and Gold
blatt thinks there is no question but
that before the winter Is over he will
be racing as good as ever on the Mex
leo course.
The famous Splinter is still owned by
J. Livingston, but he has turned him
over TO Trainer Goldblatt to take him
TO JuareE, as that horsemau is the
only American trainer that has evsr
succeeded in getting the big geIding
to race In this country to his besr
form. except when he was a 2-year-
old and handled by James Rowe.
Now that the pan-American diplo-
mats have succeeded in solving the
great Mexican question. which move
II IL believed will restore peace in this
republic, the outlook for brilliant ra-
cling during the long meeting of the
Jockey Club at Juarez the coming
winter is most rosy.
This country. however, favors ra-
cling as II does all other sports, and
to the race track II has always proven
little difference as TO who has been in
power when the big meeting has been
run of. At the present time the
city to Juares. Just over
the Rio Grande River. FL Paso. Tex.
is enjoying a great year of prosper
ity. and no city adjacent to any win
ter race track offers better accommo-
dations in every way to visiting turf
men and lovers of racing.
There have been winters at JuareZ
when between 700 to 800 horses have
been housed at the track, and not
single case OF sickness among them
vas in evidence. Moreover. the eli
mate at JuareE during winter racing
does not stale horses. which is proven
by the performers that go to other
tracks in the spring and campaign
the season successfully on
the Canadian and Kentucky and
Eastern tracks OF America.

scurrying into their cellars left London
slightly unnerved Saturday though the
government took pains to deny the re-
port that a German dirigible had again
visited the east coast.
Reports of a German aerial lombard

ed the feeling of nervousness here. These

ed that a group Of German aviators
dropped nearly 100 bombs on the French
coast towns, killing seven persons and
iniuring at least a score.
The report of the air raid on Dunkirk
was not officially confirmed here. Paris
dispatches said the news was given out
officially there. but at least one govern
ment official here suggested that the re.
port may have emanated from the same
condition Of fright that was responsible
for last nights wild rumors.

INTERVIEW WITH
DIR. GUENADIEFF

Rome. Jan. 24.-12.45 P. M.-Dr. n.
Guenadieff, formerly foreign minis
ter of Bulgaria, who has been entrust-
ed with a special mission by the Sofia
government at Italy, was interviewed
today by the Giornale D'Italia. The
Bulgarian diplomat said that Italy
and Bulgaria must agree in the de-
fence OF their respective interests and
in the maintenance of Balkan equi-
librium, without which lasting
peace in Europe would be impossible.
DR.. Guenadieff said that the origin
of the plan was the unstable situation
created by the second Balkan war,
which caused rivalries and jealousies
especially between the powers chiefly
interested in the Balkans, Austria and
Russia. Italy's influence will be direct
ed, he thought, with a view to hav-
ing the people of her nationality re-
spected.

A British squadron, composed of q
powerful and swift battle cruisers pa

tered German squadron presumably

That the revolutionary movement IN
