CONSIDERABLE RACE HOss.

Single G.. the phenomenal PAGER Of 1916,
is looked upon by many experts as one
of the few horses which may be able to
fracture the 1:55 mark of the late Dan
Patch.
The son OF Anderson wilkes upset all
calculations for the Grand Circuit during
its first meeting in Cleveland, when he
hung up two new worlds records in a
three heat race. Pacing in 2:ooA. ZOO.
-.ulh4, ne fractured all existing average
heats for a race, by making the mark 200
9-ly0. Also he broke the worlds record for
aevrage time for second and third heats
by the same horse
These who watched Single C in his
thrilling performance declare that he
wasn't called upon to loosen all the
wonderful speed in his legs; that he can.
and will go faster. II that be true, then
Single G ought to come mighty close to
Dan Patch's wonderful mark. If he ever
is turned loose in fight against time
with track and weather conditions in his
favor

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
Legless Man Is Best Trapshooting Referee
BY PETER p. CARNEY.

his Christian name, even though nine
tenths of those who go to the impor-
tant trapshooting tournaments through
out the United States know him. To the
trapshooters he is known at all times as
''Johnny-No-Legs." They all respect his
ability.
Johnny was one of the referees in the
Grand American Handicap He refereed
the most important matches He has
been doing this in the Grand American
and the other important tournaments for
years. He is not a youngster at the
game; in fact, he might aptly be termed
one Of the old-timers. He was associated
with the live pigeon sport when the Old
Red Stocking ball park was in its hey
dey In st. Louis. The Red Stocking Park
was the shooting grounds OF those days.
Mr.. Hoerman has probably handled
more live pigeons-wild and tame-than
any other man in the country. From
the pigeon game he turned to clay tar
gets, like all others interested in shoot
ing. He talks Interestingly of the first
Ligowski clays: then the Improvement
to the clays, the clays with the PASTE
board tongue attachment, and right on
down to the present day. Hoerman has
handled them all. He has seen the paste
board discs with the small balloons in
the center, red. black. blue and white
fiiers, glass balls, feather-filled glass
balls, wooden balls with explosive COW
ers, metal targets with wing attach
ments to upset their flight when hit,
come and go. and he thinks the present
style clay target will be with us for
many years. He does not think they can
be improved.
Mr. Hoerman is one of the best sted
men in the world on trapshooting. He
follows trapshooting like the baseball
bug follows his favorite batter's aver
ages.
He is the best referee. says Shaner,
because he Is capable. always on the
job and his low position makes it easy
for him to Judge targets

SOCIETY TO SEE BOUT.

Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. 26.-Indica-
tions today were that several hundred
women will be at the ringside when Char
ley White endeavors to lift the light
weight crown from Freddie Welsh on
Labor Day. A prominent society woman
OF the Springs herself has taken fifty
seats and requested the management to
set aside a block for the use Of women
spectators.
She was promised that this well be
done. and 300 seats will be reserved and
sold to women only or to those whose
wives accompany them.
Both Welsh and White continue to do
steady grinds of road work and boxing.
Neither man has to worry about the
weight, as they are within easy striking
distance Of it already.

CAR HAS
REDUCED ITS PRICE

Harry Munday, manager of the local
branch of the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany, yesterday received a long dis
tance telephone message from the
home office in New York stating that
the price of the model 4sO Chevrolet
had been reduced $50. The price of the
car now is $3.50, whereas it formerly
was $3.50. The car is complete to the
last detail. having electric lights, self
starter, speedometer and other acces-
sories which today are considered by
the great army of buyers as a neces-
sary part of their machine.
Mr.. Mundy stated that the reduction
in price was in accordance with the
ideas of w. c. Durant. president of the
company, who has always made it his
policy to give to the ultimate consumer
the benefit OF any factory saving that
might be possible.

REAL HARD-LUCK PITCHER.

Claude Hendrix, Of the Cubs. is 1855
most unfortunate hurler. In less than
ten days he hurled a one-hit, a two-hit
and three-hit game-and lost them all.
The earned runs secured of him during
the last six or eight weeks have averaged
less than one per game-yet Hendrix
has been beaten in the majority of his
starts.
The Cubs can hit and they do hit-until
Hendrix mounts the hillock. And then
they become as blind men afflicted with
paralysis and Claude has to suffer for 1t
in the won and lost column despite his
wonderful defensive work.

WHY WEREN'T BoTTLERs FINED

Bobby Roth, Indian outielder, endured
n shower Of pop bottles for several in
nings in a recent st. Louis game. A
number of them narrowly missed brain
ing" him. Finally, when the policeman
failed to put a stop to the cowardly
practice Of the bleacherites, Roth picked
up one Of the bottles and threw it back
into the stand.
And then Ban Johnson suspended Roth
and did nothing else.

The best referee In the country"
That is the opinion voiced by Elmer q.
Shaner, of Pittsburgh. Pa, about
"Johhny-No-Legs." To be called the
best referee in the United States is cutie
an honor-and Furthermore Shaner
knows whereof he speaks.
Shaner is the manager of the impor-
tant trapshooting tournaments for the
Interstate Association. He has held that
position for many years. Before the
trapshooting end OF the sport was as big
as it is today he managed the live-b bird
tournaments-so he knows his business.

ALL-AMERIcAN FOOTBALL TEAM
NOW DUE
BY Mark Shields

suffering public and a flood Of ALI
American football teams. The grid
season came to a close yesterday,
and the paper teams are now due.
Various experts will compose various
teams, and no one will be satisfied.
There were so many unusual
backfeld men during the 1916 sea-
son that picking four who excel all
others is impossible, Pollard, Casey,
Horween, OGphant, Vidal, Macomber,
Wyman, Harley, Driscou,. LeGore,
Gilroy, COfall, Berry, ShiVeTick,
MauItbesch, McCreight, Hastings,
De Hart and Tibbott are few men
who would be good enough for any
eleven. They come from east and
west, and do not begin to complete
the list of frstclass backs.
Pollard may be pushed aside be-
cause Brown was beaten by Colgate
yesterday. The result. was a big up
set Colgate was given a good
chance to win, but no one expected
the. Brown people to go scoreless.,
The game was played on a wet field,
which hampered the light and speedy
BrunOnian backs.
Joe Stecher proved himself the
best of present-day' wrestIers when
he Topped Charlie Cutler twice with
ridiculous ease at the Coliseum last
night. The big Nebraskan used his
deadly scissors hold for each fall,
combining it with a half nelson.
The first fall came in 81 minutes
and four seconds, and Cutler conced-
ed the second in z minutes and "A
seconds. Cutler was severely punish
ed by the pressure Stetcher eXerted
for the second fall, and three times
tried to call the referees attention
to the fact he'was ready to give up.
Stecher had him cIamped so tight
ly with his powerful legs that Charlie
could barely whisper. The referee did
