English turf followers are of the
opinion that the coming season will
see an increase in the racing sched-
ule for while the Jockey clubs request
for further facilities for the 1916 sea-
son has not yet been acted on, but the
feeling is strong that the government
will not put any obstacles in the way
Of some bright turf sport, If Austria
could have a season during the past
year, argue the sporting men, then,
SUI ely England ought to keep up it's
traditional sport They further ad-
vsrce the argument of the service of
the track in breeding thoroughbreds,
which play an important part in the
PRODUCTION of the best class of cavalry
end artillery remounts.

[)REW'S RECORD
SHORTCUT
BRILLIANT
BY HAMILTON

! Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 11-Howard Drew,
the wonderful colored sprinter, who
was counted out of participation in
all future athletics a short time ago
when he suffered stroke of paralysis,
had a short but brilliant career before
he was stricken.
He held the worlds record for the
1OO-yard dash, 9 3-5 seconds, and
many times has stepped that distance
in 10 seconds, fiat, going under it
| time or two. Drew's record of 9 3-5
seconds is accepted as the only legiti-
mate one, although the record books
shows that Dan Kelly once did the
distance in that time His mark is
not accepted as genuine.
Drew pulled to the front among the
great American runners in the Yale
interscholastic championships of 1912.
He won the 100 there in 10 seconds,
impressing the spectators and officials
with his wonderful form.
Drew never lost his form from the
moment Of the shot which started the
race until the finish. He was a
sprinter who was off to a good start
always and never lost any of his
speed down the paths He was as
fast at the finish as at the start
After capturing the Yale champion
ship Drew took part in the eastern
tryouts for the Olympic games, which
were held in the Harvard Stadium,
and won the 100 metres in the record
time of 10 As. He went to Stock
holm and won his heat in The 100
metres event in II seconds, and quail
| fed for the final heat in the second
tries. But he pulled a tendon in do
| ing it and was forced to drop out of
the final dash. The race was we'll
taken care Of, however, for it was won
by Ralph Craig of Detroit, and two
other American runners, Alvah Meyer
and Don Lippincott, finished second
and third
Drew left the east more than two
years ago and went to California,
where he took up the study of law
at the University of Southern Cali
fOrnia. It was while taking part in
a western meet that Drew stepped the
100-yard dash in 8 3-5.
Drew took part in the A. A. U. meet
in 1912 and won the junior and senior
championships in the 100 He also
won the senior title in 1913. In 1915
he went to the Pennsylvania relay
meet and beat the pick of the country
in 10 seconds.
Drew has had trouble with the ten
don in his leg since it was injured in
Stockholm and in his races last Win
ter in New York, during which time

Attempted Suicide.

Considerable excitement was caused
here in the early hours of Friday morn
ing by earnest cries for help coming
from the river in the rear of the
DWinelI & Persons shop. Henry Whit
ing, who lives in the rear of the bank
block heard the call and thinking that
there was murder being done by the
Polish people hurried couple Of shells
into his revolver and started for the
scene of trouble. He found Mrs
Harriet M. Dubois in the river firmly
against the grating which protects the
Turnbull Company fiume from floating
rubbish. The strength of the current
against the grating was sufficient to
keep Mrs. Dubois from sinking into
water which was fully ten feet in
depth Mr.. Whiting was unable to eX-
tricate Mrs. Dubois from her pre-
carious situation and his cries for help
added to those of the suffering woman
soon brought G. S. Dodge, C, A.
Barney and j. A. Bates to his assist
ance. Mrs. Dubois was at once taken
to her home in the Ewombly building
ana doctors summoned. It was found
that the patient was suffering from
mental weakness and the case was
called to the attention Of the Probate
court Friday afternoon and an order
issued for her removal to Waterbury.
| She was taken there by DIR. Cleasby
on Saturday.
