Baltimore. Oct 2.-There Will be no va
cant stalls at Pimlico during the meeting
which opens at the old track week

Riggs has received so many applications
for stalls that he found II necessary to
build two large barns back of the grand
stand that will accommodate loo horses.
There will be upward Of 1000 horses on
hand when the Pimlico meeting begins,
ard the season will undoubtedly be the
most brilliant since the new Maryland
Jockey Club took charge OF racing at
the old track.
All the leading owners will be repre-
sented in the races at Pimlico. Applica-
tons for stable room have been received
from August Belmont, chairman OF the
Jockey Club, who will send over strom-

MORE COLLEGES CLEAN HOUSE.
Illinois, Southwestern and Chicago
Are Investigating Athletes.

Chicago. Oct. 23.-The threatened
sweep to clean out the semi-profes-
slonals from the football ranks of the
Mode West began yesterday. The
latest charges involve Pottsy Clark,
Illinois University's hashy quarter
back and Butch Scanlon. Chicago,
star guard.
It was rumored on the campus at
northwestern yesterday that every ef-
Tort would be made to keep Clark out
OF the game with Illinois at Urbana
To-Day. Reports were that Coach
Zuppke kept Clark out of the Ohio
state game last Saturday because Il
was known that Clark's amateur
standing would be Investigated. There
Is nothing definite against the star,
out Illinois preferred not to take a
chance on HAVING that Ohio State
game protested in the event Clark's
amateur skirts were not found clean.
Clark. 1t Is said, played summer base
oaii last summer at~Carthage, Bowen
ana Camp Point, Chautauqua- Whether
he received anything for playing or
not remains to be proven.
Scanlon coached HYDE Park High
School last fall. The Chicago Univer-
sity authorities promised yesterday to
settle positively before the season Is
much older whether or not he got any
money out of IL. Pending settlement
OF the question, Butch may be kept
out OF the game today with Purdue to
prevent complications .

Baltimore Fight Fans Eagerly Await
Clans Of Gong Tuesday
Night.

Baltimore, Oct a-Baltmore fight
I fans are excited over the coming fifteen
round decision battle between George
CLANCY, the Knockout king, OF this city
and Jack White. the well known feather
weight, of Chicago, which is booked for
Tuesday night at the old Monumental
Thester bsfore the American Athletic As
ISOLATION. CLANCY Is among those ex-
ceptions to the rule about q prophet be-
ing without honor In his own country"
He is Just as popular here as elsewhere
and George is generally reckoned AZ one
Of the best liked mitt artists Of today
all over. The reason for this popularity
is plain as whenever George is IN q battle
It's certainty there will be plenty Of
action.
Tuesday nights match will be at
weight so there will be no advantage
along that line. The fact that the bout
is booked for fifteen rounds affords the
boys ample opportunity to show their re-
spective ability. The distance Is long
enough for one or the other to display
superiority and the dopesters figure that
a Knockout will be seen before ten rounds
arc over. Naturally. the local contingent
Is behind CLANCY to a man. A number
of Westerners here for the Laurel races
have seen White 80 through his PAGES
and they are taking the foreign end OF
the bets that have been recorded.
White Is due to leave Chicago this af-
ternoon and will do only q bit of light
work after reaching here. CLANCY will
wind-up his training tomorrow and rest
on Monday and Tuesday. He is In SUI
perb shape as always for the contest and
able to so twenty rounds right now il he
were called upon.
The bouts will be started early and
the main event put on in time 50 that
even should II go the limit Washington
fight fans on hand will be able to reach
home by midnight.

these clubs are willing to toss in a bag

The Bowie Inaugural Handi-
cap to Be Star Attraction
on First Day.
CONDITION BOOK ISSUED

The condition book for the first seven
days Of the meeting OF the Southern
Maryland Agricultural Association, which
will be held at the Bowie race track
from November 10 TO 30. are now out and
will be distributed among the horsemen
within tho next few days. The feature
of the opening day will be the running
Of the Bowie Inaugural Handicap. u free
handicap for 5-year-olds and up, over the
seven furlongs route out of the chute.
The Bowie track is the only one in this
part Of the country having the chute at
seven-eighths Of a mile.
Work on the pari-mutuel plant being
installed at the track Is progressing rap
idly, and will be completed within the
next few days. The Bowie management
believes that its plant will be second to
none in use at race tracks, and claims
that every convenience will be afforded
the player. and that the method OF spec
ulation has been greatly simpliied by the
style of machine they will Use. Expert
accountants will tabulate the number OF
tickets sold on each horse in all the
races, which amount will be registered on
a large machine In the center of the
PAVILION. Larger numerals will be used
In the machine so that those who care 10
invest will be able to distinguish with
the naked eye from one end OF the bet
ting ring to the other the amount placed
on each horse and thereby tell approXt-
mately the price the winning horse will
pay.
The demand for stable room at the
track has far exceeded the expectations
OF the management. II seems that all
the horsemen racing in Maryland now
have determined 10 take in the Bowie
meeting.i 40 that the capacity of stalls
has been greatly overtaxed. Those whs
have not already made reservations will
probably have the stable at the Benning
track, as Supt. Strahan announces that
all the stables at the track have been
engaged. For the benefit of the horse
men who will have to stable at Benning
a horse train will be run direct to the
track daily.
