The temptation to let anything slide for
Emmys sake is strong, but must be re-
sisted. SO let it be registered that "Sowers

human graCes, save for the star, nor very
credible. It is that ancient formula made
up as follows: husband, loving beneath

the charm that Miss Wehlen can put into

st. Charlotte Wins
Second Race in Week
Belmont Park Terminal Crowd Electrified by One Of
Camest Exhibition Of Season-Nlaitre Corbeau
Had Big Gap Halfway up Backstretch
By Harriette Underhill

Every one who really counted in the
horse world was on hand at Belmont
Park Terminal yesterday to speed the
parting guest, and each man turned to
his neighbor, saying: Hasn't 1t been
a wonderful season."
Only three horses-St. Charlotte,
Maitre Corbeau and Cherry Malotte-
answered the bugle call in the United
Hunts Double Event Steeplechase.
The English bred horse went out at
the fall Of the flag. Taking his jumps
with long, rocketing bounds, he soon
opened mp a gap that looked formidable
enough. especially as 81. Charlotte bob
bled a little at the liverpool in front
Of the stands the first time around, and
Vincent Powers was content to rate
Cherry Malotte far out of it.
st. Charlotte Electrilies Crowd
Neither Smoot nor Powers made a
move till less than six furlongs from
home. and then, halfway up the back
stretch. st. Charlotte closed the pig
gap and then seemed 10 hang there.
At this stage of the running the mare
seemed TO hear the call, for as they
swung into the stretch she moved up
into second place so smoothly that her
hackers thought she would go to the
front. She made a bad landing at the
last Jump, and as they came up the DIP
the leader looked the winner.
Then st. Charlotte electrified the
crowd. He was half dozen lengths
ont of il a sixteenth from the winning
oil
Unbelievable burst OF speed, and his
mu=zle caught the judges eye as they
flashed past.
It was quite a feat, too. for st.
Charlotte. for he picked up l65 pounds
and gave weight to the other Two. TINS
is the second big chase that the ive-
year-old chestnut son Of ST. Savln--
Charlotte has won in less than week.
On Wednesday he captured the Ilplng
Rock Subscription Steeplechase Handl-
CAP, at three miles, and the S3,3OO IN

and was worth $4,000 and $500 piece

havior when they were saddllng nm
in the paddock, and Johnny Kermath
had his troubles saddling him before
the race. The geldlng kept the sroOhS
and his trainer jumping TO keep clear
OF his heels. and it was a good thing
that Kermath had the foresight TO put
q wire muzze on his charge.
The setting az the Terminal matched
the racing. Everybody who could
turned out to have a last taste OF the
sport. The weather was kind, too.
There was a nip in the air that made
heavy wraps and furs and overcoats
lust comfortable. There was plenty OF
khaki and navy blue, too, and half a
dozen aviators, and Colonel Lord Rob
ert Ker, of his Britannia majesty's
forces. The navy was represented by
Rear Admiral Usher and Lieutenant
Commander Wilcox.
All the races were over a distance OF
ground, and, although the fields were
small, were interesting. Mrs. u. II.

~ Y.U. VARSITY Rolls UP
Big Score Against Freshmen
Egan, Graham and Brinn
Star in 70 to 0 Victory
at Ohio Field

Now York Uniyersity's varsity team
defeated their strong freshman eleven
bv The score Of &c TO 0 on Ohio Field
Yesterday afternoon. This game was
scheduled because Of the inability OF
Manager Harry Guntzer to find a col
legiate eleven to take the place OF
Rochester. which was supposed to play
at University Heights, but cancelled the
engagement.
The varsity kicked of to the fresh
men, who ran. the pigskln back ten
Yards, but were then held for downs by
the stone wall defence Of the varsity
line. Egan, Christopher and Graham
took the ball over the line for the var
sity in a series Of line plunges as soon
as the pigskin changed hands. Egan
kicked the goal.
Thereafter, until the last quarter, the
freshmen frightened their defence ana
allowed TO more scoring.
However, in the last period the var.
sity tore through the line and around
the ends for long and consistent gains
until the whistle blew, ending the game.
The playing Of Egan, quarterback;
Graham. halfback, and Brinn, centre,
was the outstanding feature for the
varsity Trayate, bullback, starred for
the freshman.

One Of the hardest details to face in
any golf match IS heavy handicap
that seems 20 presago defeat.
ln football. baseball or tennis the de-
pressing effect Of being behind doesn't
figure 20 largely. for IN the rush and
smash of play there rs no great time TO
cons der this melancholy element. When
man is working ~ top speed he has
10 great opportunity 10 stop and con
siccr results
Bu' golf is different affair. Here
toe entrant has an the time IN the
world 60 become depressed or 20 lose
heart. II he Is down and 20 play, or
3 down and 10 play, ne has no rush
or speed of conflict 20 help him forget.
The tendency then is TO either try and
DO too much, or else 10 lag back and
fade rapidly out
Golf. on this account. is one Of the
hardest games 10 the world in which
one may overcome depression. You
can Try all the harder in football and
baseball But IN golf this added force
generally brings on pressing and at
tendart disaster.
In place Of moving 90 extra eXertion,
the best chance ahead is through cool
ness and restraint in nerve and muscu-
lar control.

From Behind

Vet this GOODNESS and restraint. minus
any extra eXertion, is needed IN any
rally
And those who can control their ner-
vous energies m such circumstances
have double advantage the adj
vantage belonging TO good play and the
consequent embarrassment TO an oppo-
nent
Take the Travs-Wlder match Of
some years ago.
Travis was 4 down and 70 play. He
went along evenly and won the If
teenth and sixteenth holes. At the
seventeenth he was down and 70
play. But here Wilder, who only need
ed a half 20 win. was three feet from

feet on the like Travis faced the
double handicap that so often arises
in golf lie not only had 10 sink his
putt but Wilder must also miss his
short one.
II is under this condition that most
golfers fade out. They figure u this
way: "Well, even If | sink mine IT
won't do any good, as he viii get his
down sure"
But Travis took just as much time
and care as II that putt meant the
match. He sunk h.s thirty-footer-

ENen More So

His recent play against Mike Brady
was an even greater example. Here,
against one Of the most spectacular
professionals IN the game, Ouimet was
: down and Is 10 play after fifty-six
holes Of golf. lie had the opportunity
OF his life here to sag or TO press or
20 break. But even here il was impos-
sible TO detect flicker Of depression
II was still. for him. just golf match
He merely continued hitting his shots
without extra effort. The result was
that he squared the match and came
within half-hair Of winning IT,.
Ouimet's philosophy IS this: III you
try 10 work too hard for results in
golf you don't get anywhere AT all. You
are liable then 10 break up your own
game. The only thing left 10 DO when
you are badly down is 10 keep steady,
let the result go and play your own
game in as easy and as natural q man
ner < possible. just keep on plugging
If this isn't good enough TO win there's
nothing 70 be done about il. The time.
of course, may come when you must
take some harder chance on long
carry. when you must risk trying for
greater distance. But this doesn't come
often. The best results are 10 be OBJ
tanned by trying 10 play your natural
came-by holding yourself In check.
Under these conditions you merely
want 10 be surer than ever Of giving
the ball q chance. No man, in putt,
should ever be short Of the cup. But
when you are down the sin OF being
short is greater than ever

To Defeat Dartmouth

MORGANTOWN, Oct. 13.-West Vir-

record 20 date, leaves here Thursday
for Hanover, y. H., where on Saturday
it will tackle Dartmouth on the grid

The first game between these teams
was played at Hanover last year and

bright for a victory this season.
II is doubtful If the Mountain GERS
ever had a more powerful aggregation
than that which will face Dartmouth.
The backheld, made up OF Rodgers,

best that West Virginia ever pos
