LAUREL TRACK WILL
OPEN TODAY WEEK
First Stake Races to Be Run
OFF on Opening Day Of
Meeting.

Laurel Park. washington's only race
course. now that Benning Is closed. will
open It's gates next Monday. a week
from today. and then will come contests
that will decide the championships In
the two-yesr-old and the aii-aged d.
visions Of racers. The steepiechasers
also will have their battles to decide
which Is the best jumper of the 1915 sea-
son.
The fact that The Finn, Fl. C. Halien-
beck's great son OF Ogden and Livoma,
who won the two big stakes at Havre
de Grace. has beaten Stromboli. Roamer,
Short Grass. and Spur, does not settle
the championship by any means. The
conditions and racing luck, and when
they come to Laurel Park conditions
will be different. The Laurel Park track
Is perhaps the fastest In the country. A
new top dressing has been put on since
last season and the track regarded,
which makes II. In the opinion Of train
ers who have horses now at the course,
the very best In the East. Harry r.
Breivogle, assistant to Manager VIM,
prophesied that miles will be run better
than 1888 before n week has passed.
The Finn, Roamer. Stromboli. Short
Grass, and Spur, not to speak OF lesser
lights OF the turf. will meet for the first
time at Laurel In the Baltimore Handi-
cap. to be run the first Saturday of the
meeting. Roamer has always shown a
great liking for the Laurel track. He
II is who holds the worlds record for a
mile and a furlong. made at the Laurel
course In 1914. Roamer was always
Strombolis conqueror at Laurel Park. as
we'll as the conqueror OF all others, and
Trainer Goldsborough still has faith
that the son Of Knight Errant can beat
The Finn or any other horse over the
Laurel course.

CHICAGO. Sept IA merry fight
for championship honors in the big
nine, otherwise known as the West
ern conference. appears certain this
year.
Minnesota, which was tied last year
for the title. loses only four men by
graduation. Chicago will have almost
an entire team OF veterans. Illinois will
offer strong opposition, although several
or last years stars will be missing

veterans.
Ohio State and Purdue however, have
sent out tales OF distress. but as they
rarely cut much of figure In deciding
the conference championship. their
teams will be about what Is expected.
Cleo O'Donnell, now coach at Purdue, is
expected to put a better team in the
field than that which represented the
Indiana college last fall. Indiana, with
team built around several OF last
years stars. and with Coach Ewald o.
Stiehm In charge, will be the dark horse
entry. Stiehm had wonderful success at
Nebraska University, and his efforts at
Indiana will be watched with more than
ordinary interest. Wisconsin, with a
good number of men left over. will be a

BOATS SHOULD COME TO
U. S. upon THE SURFACE
iSubmerging Against Policies OF
Nation, Declares Former Russ
Agent.

PHILADELPHIA Wharton Barker
former Russian financial agent in this
country, has written a letter to Presi-
dent Wilson, in which he urges the
establishment of a precedent with re-
gard to the entry and clearance of
foreign vessels from American waters.
He believes the government ought
to make a rule that no boat should en-
ter or leave this country's jurisdiction
except on the surface of the water,
and that submergence by any foreign
vessel should be forbidden within the
three-mile limit. Mr.. Barker writes
Il am of the opinion that when for
eign vessels, both war and merchant,
enter the territorial waters of the
United States they must enter on the
surface and not submerge That when
they depart from the territorial wa
tiers of the United States they must
not submerge so long as they are on
American waters.
"To travel submerged on the terri
torial waters of the United States en-
dangers shipping of the United States
of neutrals and belligerents, and gives
one belligerent an advantage over an
other belligerent the United States
cannot grant without liability to the
belligerent whose rights are so i'm
paired If my view of the situation
that now exists is correct, the German
ship now at Baltimore imposed upon
the rights of the United States when
she entered the territorial waters of
the United States submerged, and
Germany should be held responsible
for this"
