an hour to qualify and the number of starters is limited to thirty-two. Two of the favorites among the fans" are Dario Resta and Ralph de Palma. Neither needs any introduction. Both are known for their daring and skill. Ira Vail, Ruckstall and Pullen are oth- CT drivers who have attracted attention and are expected to help make the pace the fastest ever maintained for such a distance. This race will help to decide who is the champion driver of the year, a title awarded by the point scoring system. The Sheeps- head Bay speedway is the fastest track in the world, and the drivers, realiz- ing this, are bound to burn up the boards in their endeavor to better their official standing, which is at present as follows: Resta, 2,4OO points; De Palma, 1,79O; Aiken. TYPO; Rick ! enbacker, 1,570, and D'Alene. 1,12O. No car has as yet been built which | is too fast for the track so that it will
 simply be a question of the survival
 of the fttest, both in machinery, tires
 and men. Layouts show two of the prominent drivers and scene at Sheeps- head bay track. No. 1, Dario Resta;

M AUL|FFE IS VICTOR 'O| IN BOUT.
 WITH FAULKES

New Haven, Sept 30-Young Mc- Auliffe, of Bridgeport, clearly out pointed Buddy Faulkes, the Water bury colored featherweight, in the feature bout of IS rounds staged un- der the direction of the National Ath- letic club at the Arena last night. Mo- Auliffe earned Tonors in every round with the exception of the fifth when his colored rival made a short rally and carried the fight to the Bridge porter.
 Only the remarkable gameness of Faulkes enabled him to go the entire route In the second round the crowd was taken by surprise when McAuliffe shot volley of rights and lefts to Faulkes' body that sent the latter down for a referees count Of three. FauIkes in apparent dis tress, rose to his feet and was greet ed by another fussilade of blows. Be- fore the round closed Faulkes had made connections with the canvas eight times. McAuliffe. in his over anxiety to land a knockout. rushed Faulkes to the, ropes and deliberate ponent to the floor.
 
 big surprise Only once or twice during the bout did he display that old-time form that has made him a terror in the featherweight division. Usually fast on his feet, Faulkes last night displayed a brand of slow-foot- edness which is seldom seen by a box CT of his weight.
 His punches also lacked steam while he had no formidable defense to cope with McAuliffe's stinging rights to the body. All through the bout the fans marvelled at his won- derful stamina, especially after that stormy session in the second round. Faulkes complained of a sprained right ankle which proved a great handicap.
 McAuliffe in the best of condition. was master of the situation through out. At infighting the Bridgeporter was far superior while he always had the better of the argument when Faulkes saw fit to swap punches. McAuliffe had several good opportun- ities to put F'aulkes away but when the crucial second came, he got over-' anxious and excited, many of his swings going wild.
 F'aulkes was badly-beaten boy. His left eye was closed early in the fight, while he submitted to great punishment on the body. An old cut over McAuliffes right eye was opened early in the fight, Beyond this. Faulkes did no great damage to the Bridgeporter.
 Harry Williams, heg-fat and in no condition to box, was outpointed in the ten-round semi final by Jimmy Fasane.

New York, Sept. 30-Not sine the Giants started their unparalleled big ieageu feat of winning 25 straight have they encountered the i1l-fortune (which befell them yesterday when Train and darkness prevented them sfrom going to a conclusion with the Braves at the Polo Grounds. This game cannot be played, as the Giants schedule ends next Thursday.
 ., John B. Foster, secretary of the < New York club, admitted last night khat the Giants had little chance to carry of the honors. Besides the ! game that was sheduled for yesterday with the Braves, there is outstanding the game with Cincinnati that was < stopped by rain when the Reds were making their final appearance at the Polo Grounds.
 Foster said that even if winning these two contests would put the ' Giants in the lead for the pennant, played In case, by an extraordinary streak of luck, the Giants should be tied with any other team at the con- ciusion of the regular schedule, he said the tie would be decided by a game or games between the two clu bs tied and that the conditions of the play-off would be decided by the board of directors of the National league.

 The manner in which tie for first honors in the Tener circuit might come about is this:
 Tn the event that Brooklyn loses two games to Philadelphia today, and then drops four to New York next week, its total at the seasons end would be 90 won. s4 lost; Boston los ing two to the Giants and winning six

YALE DECIDES TO NUMBER PLAYERS
 IN ALL CONTESTS

New Haven, Sept. 30-Yale has de- cided that its football players shall be numbered in every game this season. Plans were perfected last might by Manager Olson for the numbering scheme to go into effect today in the game with Carnegie Tech.
 No Yale eleven has ever been num- bered and Yale captains have persist ently opposed the scheme. Captain Black of the present eleven strenuous ly objected to it last winter, but has since changed his mind.
 The following numbers which were handed out last night can be clipped by those who desire and used for ref erence. Players and numbers:
 Black. |; Zenner. 2; Carter, 3; C. Gait, 4; Baldrige, 5; Taft 6; Sheldon z; Coxe, &; Callahan, 9; Vorys, 10; M. R. Smith, II; Gates, 12; Moseley IS; Church, IA; Comerford, 15; E. T. Smith, 16; Ames, IT; Bingham, IS; Legore, 19; Jacques. 29; Hutchinson 21; Stewart, 22; Neville, 23; Waite 24; Metcalf, 25; La Roche, 26; Porter 27; Durfee, 28.

practice of the America Chain Co. eleven last night at Newfield park. The boys will get busy next week and nope to have a few practice sessions before they tackle the Tigers of HartA lord week from tomorrow.
 Although President Tener of the Ma tlonal league has generously spread the whitewash over President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club for those out rageous worlds series prices, the fans still refuse to take the curse off Eb- bets. The New York Sun states that ir no previous worlds series was more than $s Charged for a grand stand seat on the ground floor. In Philadelphia last year the manage ment was allowed to charge $5 for the first four rows in the upper stand but the Phflifes have a very small park. The prices quoted by Brooklyn are the highest since the worlds series was started. Ebbets is charging s2 for ordinary 50 cent bleacher seats. No wonder the fans are bowling for his scalp.
 The Yale football management took step in the right direction when 1t decided that all players should be numbered. Although Capt Black an- nounced recently that the wishes of the public would not be considered, somebody with more intelligence has evidently put a silencer on the cap- tain. The numbers the players will wear will be announced in the press so spectators can, follow the game with more enjoyment.
 Owner Lannin of the Red Sox is having the laugh on those who said he made a mistake when he sold Iris Sneaker for $50.00O because he could not meet the players salary demands. Lannin gave most oI his players sal- ary cuts because he claimed the Fed eral league had raised salaries too much. Tthis seasons experience has shown that Lannin was right. It is also said that this is the first season Lannin has made a profit since he l took charge of the club.

 TO COACH CREW

New Haven. sept. so-Head Coach Guy Nickalls of the Yale crew arrived in New Haven last might about 5 o'clock from New York city, where he landed Thursday evening. Fall prac- tice for the crews will start Monday afternoon, he says, although he has not yet had time to confer with Cap tain Cord Meyer with a view to de- termining whether the proposed race with Columbia shall be rowed or not.

Detroit Eliminated

Detroit's last chance to take the American league pennant went by the board yesterday when the Red. Sox beat the Yankees. If the Chicago White Sox lose one of their games to Cleveland they, too. will be eliminated. The Red Sox need two more vic- tories to assure them of the flag. AS they close the season with the Ath- letics their chances look bright. It is still a tossup in the National league, although many think the Giants are apt to put Brooklyn out of the race by smothering the Dodgers next week.

WORKMEN Celebrate
THEIR MEMORIAL DAY

Despite the fact that the weather
was most unpromising, large audi
ence assembled before the speakers
stand at Hanscom park Sunday to
listen to the program prepared by the
local camps, Ancient Order of United
Workmen and Degree of Honor, for
the celebration of their annual Floral
day. About five hundred persons
were present.
The program was opened with a
selection by the Ancient Order of
United Workmen No. II, military
band, followed by prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Cornish. Following the prayer
DR.. A. G. A. Buxton, rector of the
St. Paul's Episcopal church, Council
Bluffs, pronounced eulogy which
will be long remembered by those
who heard him speak.
In the course of his talk, DR.. Bux-
ton portrayed most wildly the value
of a memorial day, not to an or
ganization alone but to the nation as
we'll. In speaking of fraternalism he
said: "What the world needs is fra
ternalism, not lodgism, or churchism,
and fraternalism is brotherhood as
taught by Christ"

FOUND IN RESERVOIR

Chicago, June 1.-THE body Of
Tohn V. Steger, president of the Steg-
er and Sons Piano Manufacturing
company, was found today in a huge
reservoir in the town Of Steger, Ill.,
near here, which he founded twenty
five years ago.
Members of Mr.. Steger's family
said that it was his habit to walk
down to the reservoir each Sunday
afternoon to feed the gold fish and
that he must have slipped, falling into
the water.
