USAACS PREPARING
FOR GRUELNG GAME

Allentown. Pa. Nov. 1e.-When the
news that the Georgetown eleven had
won the championship Of the South
Atlantic Division by defeating Wash
ington and Lee at Roanoke Saturday
reached the L. S. Ambulance camp.
here. it aroused considerable comment
among the football fans of "Csaac-
dom" in the light of the approach
ing game between the Ambulance
Service champions. and the wearers
of the Blue and Gray. at Washing
ton, on Thanksgiving Day.
The "Usaacs' regard the game
scheduled for the holiday at the
Capital as one Of the most difficult
undertakings that their eleven has on
its seasons schedule and are expect
ing TO see a genuine gridiron classic
when the two champion aggregations
get together. Some idea of their in
terest when the two champion aggre-
cations get together may be gained
from the fact that nearly every man
in the camp who has elected to take
his leave at Christmas instead of on
Thanksgiving Day. is preparing to
journey to Washington for the pur-
pose OF roofing for his team.

al M'Coy Denies 0'Dowd
Fight Not on The Level

Al Mccoy. who lost the middle
weight title to Mike O'Dowd last
Thursday, was in Philadelphia yes
terday and he denied that the bout
was a frame-up. He said he had
heard rumors that the fight was a
fake, but emphaticaIly denied that
the bout was anything OF the sort.
In proof Of this he SAYS that O'Dowd
did not have a cent before the bout
started and he is sure there was not
10000 bet on the fight.
He says that O'Dowd will probably
be able 10 retain the title for some
time, and while the new champion
is not particularly clever, he is q
hard hitter and he has a rushing.
tearing style that will spell disaster
to lot OF other fighters.
Mccoy says he is through with
fighting. He has wife and a 3-year-
old youngster. and his wife is very
anxious TO have him quit. He has
farm up in Maine and he intends
to retire TO the simple life.

LES DARCY LEFT
$4,000 TO FAMILY

New York, Nov. l9.-ACcordinE TO
Australian papers. Les Darcy. the
unfortunate Australian champion,
left an estate OF less than SO. 200.
Letters OF administration were
granted TO the father. Edward
Darcy, a Maitland farmer. The
value Of the estate was sworn at
1850 pounds and Is shillings. Of
which 1000 pounds was represented
by property. Darcy contended
when he arrived in America that
his object was TO make enough to
support his family and then he was
going TO war At the time he was
rated at being worm anywhere from
5000 TO $4,000. Il is evident
that he did not accumulate the large
sums that were credited to him.

JACK ROSS TO GIVE
WINNER A CHANCE

Joe Turner. middle weight wrestling
champion of the world. will be given
another chance at Jack Ross. the
Greek champion. on Friday night at
the Lyceum Theater. Ross left this
city last week claiming that he would
never give the local boy another
chance as it will be remembered that
Joe backed out meeting Ross after
Manager McGeorge had completed de-
tails for a return so at the middle
weight limit of 15S pounds
Manager McGeorge has been after
Ross since last Wednesday in an ef-
fort to have him again meet Turner.
but no encouraging word was received
until yesterday when he agreed to
give Turner another chance at l5S
pounds at o'clock. McGeorge was
compelled to offer the Greek title
holder special inducements, but local
mat fans are sure OF witnessing a
lively bout when these graPplers meet
Friday night.

BOWIE CLASSIC
TO COLD TASSEL
Hallenback's Entry Cap
tures Inaugural Handicap
From Brilliant Field.

Bowie. Nd. Nov. 19.-The gates Of
the Prince George County course
were thrown open today to- one Of the
largest crowds that ever assembled
at an inaugural of the Southern
Maryland Agricultural Association
meeting. General Manager James F.
f, O'Hara had the course in excellent
shape. and all those present thor
oughly enjoyed the afternoon sport.
Seven races made up the card,
three over the shorter route and four
OF the distant variety. Society from
Baltimore. Philadelphia, New York
and Washington were present, and
the enthusiasm displayed today as
sures Bowie the greatest meeting
since its inauguration.
The Bowie Inaugural Handicap, the
outstanding feature of the card, saw
H. c. Hallenback's Gold Tassel de-
feat Barry Shannon and Fenmouse,
while the fayorite, Highland Lad,
ran out of the money. 1t was no
fault of the latter that he did not
win. as Rowan. who rode Milkman

tending position. The latter was
forced to pull up, and this cost him
the race. Milkman. had heN won,
would have been disqualified. For
this bit OF rough riding the stewards
promptly and properly put Rowan
down for five days.
Richard F. Carman's consistent
Startling annexed the Hyde Park
purse, an affair at six and q half
furlongs, winning handily from
Water Lady and Tea Caddy. At no
stage OF the race was Startling in
danger and won with plenty of re-
serve.
Felucca came to life in the closing
race when he beat Judge Wingfield
and Vermont in handy fashion. The
winner paid the longest price OF the
day.
The weather was ideal for racing and
this was largely responsible for the
immense gathering present. The train
service was much improved over that
OF last year and patrons were back
home at 5:4S p. m, in plenty OF time
for their evening meal.
II Is the desire of General Manager
O'Hara to start the races promptly
at 1:45 p. m. each day and the last
race at AS p. m.
Capt. c. z. Duhain, OF the Pinker-
ton force, was on hand with his large
corps OF experts and the grounds were
thoroughly policed.
The mutuel machines were kept
humming all afternoon from the first
to the last race, and so thick was the
throng in the mutuel building that II
was alomst impossible to get near
the machines.
1t is the desire Of the management
to put on an attraction between
Omar Khayyam and Cudgel, provid-
ing the latter can ship here from
Kentucky. II Cudgel cannot be had
another suitable race will be held
probably on Thanksgiving Day. Gen.
eral Manager O'Hara wants to have
an added attraction for this day and
IL the race between these two horses
cannot be arranged. in all likelihood
a race of about three miles on the
nat will take its place. If the gather
ing today at the popular course is
any criterion to go by, 1t looks as
though the meeting will surpass
anything ever held here before.

JESS Willard WILL
Retire FROM ring
Prize Ring Has No Further Lures
For Heavyweight Champion.

The prize ring has no further lures
for Jess Willard. The champion Of
the world is about to retire. And
he will be the first heavyweight
champion who will leave the ring
still wearing the highest toga in
pugilistic circles.
Jess loves the circus. He went
into it after he won the champion
ship from Jack johnson. Then he
was only one of the side shows.
Lack Of suitable opponents to test
his merits in the ring is also one Of
the reasons why the champion wants
TO get out of the game. Another
thing Is his propensity for taking on
weight. Jess, at the present time,
tips the beam well over the 800 mark.
1t would require months of hard
training for him to reduce In a match
for the championship. Jess is an
easy-going citizen. He doesn't love
hard work. The strenuous hours in
a training camp is not to his liking
He doesn't have to fight for the
money in it. Jess has made his pile.
The circus added to it.
And in looking over the field OF
Ouo On
the list who would make a worthy
opponent for Willard. The champion
wants $4,000 for his end IL he is to
appear in the ring again. No pro-
moter would give that figure for a
contest between Willard and either
Fred Fulton, Carl Morris. Jim Coffey,
Bill Brennan or Billy Miske, the lat
ter light-heavy.
Outside Of Fred Fulton there isn'I
one Of this quintette who could even
make Willard extend himself.
And with Willard out of the race
there will be wild scramble to crown
another heavyweight title holder. 1t
will take months, maybe years, be
fore any champion makes his ap-
pearance.
Despite the fighting abilities Of both
Mike o'Dowd and Benny Leonard,
middle-weight and lightweight cham
pions. respectively. there are many
OF the present-day fgh.ers who are
hurting challenges at the two title
holders.
o'Dowd has held the championship
less than a week. He is the more
sought after of the two little fel-
lows" But it isn't likely that the
lighting Irishman' or the New York
champion will soon lose their hold on
their titles. Both are hard hitters
They have easily disposed of their
opponents in recent battles.
