Of the first chapter OF the book of
Isaiah which reads thus; Come now,

Lord With due reverence TO the in.
junction found in Holy Writ, We should
consider that there are various reasons
why human beings should be reasona-
bic ard considerable IN all things. This
being the case and other things equal,
we shall deem il worthy of our careful
thought, that man is never too old
to learn, and never reaches a point Of
efficiency in his life where he no longer
needs TO be a student.
The proper study Of mankind is
man. Whether this maxim be true
or not as to the race, il is certainly
true when applied 10 ourselves. In all
ages men have manifested the same I'M

a rare gift. We are here without our
will, but not without responsibility.

and happiness, is before us.

not the critic who counts-not the man

BIC RACE YEAR
Sport of Kings Returns to Its
Former Popularity.
Belmont Meet Closes Today
After Long, Big Run.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, Sept. 9.-Taps sounded
today at the Belmont track; the bugle
call that ended the most successful
season of racing in the entire history
of the New York turf.
The old-timers who used to shoot
folks full of stories about the "glor-
ious racing days of old find today
that they have been robbed of their
ammunition Never before has the
aggregate crowd been larger; no sea-
son ever has brought about the estab-
lishment of so many new records; the
1915 purses, in total, eclipse anything
of the bygone years
Record Crowds.
From the opening of the season on
May 18th until the curtain dropped
today at Belmont. each and every one
of the 80 days of racing has been a
success. The crowd rarely went below
1000 or 5000 even on the smallest
attendance days. At Belmont the turn
out several times has gone far beyond
10000. Jamaica had several crowds
almost as huge. The Jamaica track
on three or four occasions was peo-
pied by close to $4,000. The Empire
track in Yonkers drew capacity crowds
on four or five of its sixteen days;
while all the records for total attend
ance were smashed during the twenty
four days at Saratoga.
So great was the throng at Sara
toga that in at least a half dozen oc-
casions it was packed to its very limit
This has caused the officials to plan
an increase in the capacity of it's plant
before the 1917 season comes along.
Free From Scandal.
One of the best features of the en-
tire season was that it was compare
lively free from scandal. On only a
few occasions were winning horses dis
qualified on account of fou1ing-a
high tribute to the watchful officials
whose slogan was "clean racing"
The oral wagering plan in vogue
seemed to work out to the satisfaction
of all concerned. The state laws bar
open wagering. The folks who want
ed to gamble a bit skirted around the
law by depositing their money with
the layers before the exercises be-
gan. Then they either made verbal
bets with their layers or wrote out
their bets on slips of paper and pass
ed them to him. When the days fes-
tivities were concluded the customer
and the layer" would settle up.
From out of the smoke of the turf
battles energies Campfire as the great
est money winner of the year The
whirlwind colt, owned by R. T. Will
son, Jr., won seven out of ten races
and was unplaced but once. His total
winnings reach beyond the $4,000
mark, which includes the earnings
from the Hopeful Stake, at Saratoga,
and the great Futurity at Belmont,
which netted him close to $4,000.

FULTON WINS FIGHT
Rochester Hope Defeats "Porky"
Flynn in st. Paul Bout.

st. Paul, Sept. s.-Fred Fulton, of
Rochester, Mimi, aspirant to the
heavyweight championship title, was
given the ringside decision over Dan
(Porky) Flynn, of Boston, in ten
round no decision bout here by news
paper men. Fulton led in all but the
third and fifth rounds, which were
even.
At the very outset Fulton rushed
into a lead by sending Flynn to the
mat in less than a minutes fighting.
The Boston man seemed somewhat
dazed for the balance of the round
and during the second, but fought to
even terms in the third. Fulton gain
ed the advantage in the fourth. the
next was even, ant the sixth went to
the Rochester man by a shade.
Flynn was hanging on before the
end of the seventh round, and in the
eighth seemed in great distress. He
came back strong in the ninth, how
ever, and forced Fulton to fast mix
ing before the latter gained a shade.
Much clinching marred the latter
rounds. with Flynn again hanging on
in the tenth.

Savages Get Stronger at Bat

The results of the make-shift lineup
that Manager Engle has been COM
PEELED to use since his players got the
injury habit several weeks ago are
shown very plainly in this weeks Of
fetal averages of the league. In club
fielding Topeka has dropped to third
place, Sioux City being in first and
Denver having stepped into the run

Altho they have not been fielding
up to the early season standard, the
Topekans have made quite a squirt in
batting and now have several players
near the 800 mark. Cochran and De-
Fate remain in the select circle and
are likly to do so the rest of the sea-
son, and there are several others on
the upward climb. Goodwin has an
average of .299 this week and Engle,
Ralph Lathrop and Josh Devore are
up and coming, all being above the
.275 mark.

of Lincoln, are staging a real duel for

ever, Butcher has been in three times
as many games as Gregory, and this
gives him the honor in the eyes of the
majority of dopesters. Dyer, of Den

has increased his circuit clouts to six
teen, and Watson, of Sioux City, has
boosted his stolen base record to thir-
ty-eight. The club averages, 300 hit

CHI. AGAINST CHI.
Windy City Golfers Meet in
Final Match for Title.
Evans and Gardner Put Out Op-
pOnents in Semi Finals.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 9.-The ma
tional amateur golf championship of
1915 is prize assured to the west for
another season as Charles Evans, jr.
and Robert A. Gardner, both of Chi
cago, won their way into the final
round of the titular tournament on the
course of the Merton Cricket club and
meet for the championship over the
same sward today. Gardner came
thru to the final by defeating Jesse
Guilford, the Massachusetts, champion
5 to 4, while Evans eliminated D.
Clarke Corkran of Baltil-.ore, to ?.
In this meeting of Gardner and
Evans another chapter will be written
in American golf history, for it will
be the first time that a defending
amateur champion has ever faced the
amateur open title holder of the same
season. Chick Evans. one of the three
amateurs of recent years to hold the
open honors, as a result of his victory
at Minneapolis in June, has the oppor-
tunity to capture two national cham
pionships in the same year but in
Gardner he will meet a worthy adver-
sary, for the 1915 bearer is a fighter
in every sense of the golfing term.

YES, IT is AWFUL FOR
FAIR SEX To PLAY GOLF

A writer recently bemoaned the
fact that women have taken TO
golf.
1T has made them mannish to
an extreme, it has brought about
corsetless age, has made women
muscular and has hardened their
hands, robbing them of their fem
ininity.''
Isn't that too bad? Isn't it just
horrible when you think what golf
has done; that it has transformed
its feminine devotees from pale,
anemic house decorations to red
blooded, clear eyed women, with
buoyant health?
Was it doctor or a corset deal
er who inspired that condemnation
of golf?

Iistless performance was brought to a
close at the end of the seventh inning
by agreement.
A Fight for Place.
The Savages still have hopes of fin
ishing the season ahead of Denver, but
the Missourians are just as hopeful
that they will be able to finish above
Topeka, and, altho there is nothing
else to fight for, these incentives are
pretty certain to make the series at st.
Joe a hot one. And if Devore is forced
to stay out of the lineup, along with
DEBATE, it seems that the Savages will
have to struggle along with the odds
greatly against them.
The team will be home again We'd
