Capt Mahan and was carried from the
the finish from the sidelines on a
stretcher.
Harvard lost because of fumbling
and inability to follow the ball. Yale
lost for lack of defense against for
ward passes and Dartmouth was de-
feated by the long kicks of Griggs OF
Princeton. These are not alibis,
merely facts.
Capt Barrett of Cornell was in the
Harvard game only six minutes and
scored seven points. Capt. Mahan of
Harvard was in the game throughout
and his fumbling was instrumental in
allowing the opposing captain to score
the touchdown.
The Bellows Falls correspondent of
the Springfield Republican says:

SAYING that Plumb tries hard all the

Shiveriek of Cornell jumped into
fame Saturday as long distance
punter. In the first half Of the Cor
nell-Harvard game his kicks averaged

remarkable average of 80 yards to
only 80 for Mahan.

team defeated the team of Believe
Falls high at Bellows Falls Saturday
by = score Of 20 to 10. The score of
the winning team would have been

they are capable of, but lack of prae-
tiee is holding the team back.
Brattleboro kicked to Bellows Falls
to open the game and after two plays
GALLUP intercepted forward pass and
ran to Bellows Falls s fve-yard line,
but the team lacked the punch ncces-
sary to carry it over the mark.
The home team could make little
progress and the ball shifted back to
Brattleboro, and Winchester went over
finally on a double pass. Capt. Estcy
kicked goal
Again Brattleboro kicked to Bellows
Falls and the home team by skin
tackle plays worked the ball to the
Brattleboro 25-yard line, whore it was
lost. Brattleboro plunged down the
field by short rushes until Capt Esscy
went over. He kicked goal. No more
scoring was done in the first period
In the third Period Bellows Falls
soon recovered the ball after having
kicked off to Brattleboro and by end
plays and bucks carried the bail
straight down the field and over the
line for q touchdown.
Plumb featured immc lately aftcr
that by getting loose for run of 90
yards and the third touchdown. Eetcy
missed goal, making the score 80 10

The last period saw Bellows Fall
rush the bail to the Brattleboro three
yard line, where Moran recovered it
on tumble. Estey kicked, but it was
rushed back to the eight-yard line,
where in two more plays it was showed
over for the home team s second touch

MAX GARNER, LEADING JOCKEY FOR. 1915

Because of his winning mounts and his
ability to ride at light weight he is In
great demand. but he confines his
work, as rule, TO his employers, w.
]. Young and 7. Mcdowell, the Ken
lucky turfmen.
While Garner is the most successful
rider of the season, 1t must be said
that he is far from being finished
jockey. He is strong and willing to
take a chance" for the inside position.
but he has a poor seat, his hands are
none of the lightest on the reins, and
his Judgment of pace was largely at
fault many times during the Saratoga
meeting. With a free running horse
he is at his best, but with horse that
needs placing, nursing and good ham
ding he is not so good.
The present crop of riders seems to
have too much freedom and to be too
hard to manage. Many of them think
so much about automobiling that many
owners are seriously considering a
proposition to insert clause in the
riding contracts for next year that
jockeys must not own autos or ride in
them at night

Max Garner will be the leading win
ming rider of America for the season
of 1915. He is in the lead now, and
none of his rivals of the pigskin will be
able TO diSplace him.
Walter Lilley is his nearest opponent
for first place, with ]. Butwell and T.
McCahey running him a close second.
Garner has been riding only a short
while. He was developer at the
Juarez track and first attracted atten-
ton by his success when an appren-
tice rider. He is only a youngster,
having just passed his sixteenth birth
day. He rides at ninety pounds and

Coast Interested In Controversy as to
Whether 1t Should Be Used.

Whether 1t Should Be Used.
Pacific Coast league players and fans
have recently been interested in the
controversy as to whether the use of
the mud ball. should be allowed in
the hurting repertoire of the coast
twirlers. According to those familiar
with this form of delivery, it is the
most dangerous pitch yet discovered
to battle the batsman. 1t is easier to
control than either the emery or spit
ball and can be thrown with much
greater velocity.
Owing to the speed and break of the
ball it is said that this delivery en-
dangers the batter to an extent that
makes it imperative that the pitchers
be prohibited from using It,

officials jointly, would pass

Feeling dubious that the land
owners in their apparent power with
the members of the Legislature would
allow the repeal bill TO pass. and, put

reason why the landowners should

cast on the love of money and or

other evils-which was not apparent
