SOLDIERS TO PARADE

Big Demonstration Being Ranged for Greeting Camp Devens Football Eleven in This City Next Saturday.
 The announcement that the athle- tic committee of the War Bureau had | succeeded in securing the football team from Camp Devens, composed of New Britain boys, was hailed with great delight in this city yesterday Coming with the players are Captain Daily and about 200 local young men now in service.
 Arrangements have been completed with Rev. John T. Winters for the use of St. Mary's playgrounds to stage the game next Saturday after noon. Harry Ginsberg, who will select the local eleven. is now at work mak- ing his arrangements. Appreciating the fact that the soldiers are in fit condition for hard battle. Ginsberg will strive to secure a team that will put up @ worthy fight.
 The players and other soldiers are expected to arrive in this city Friday evening. Accommodation will be pro- vided for the visiting officers at homes of local people. Saturday afternoon 1t is proposed to have a street demon- stration, with band, the Camp Devens soldiers, City Guard and two companies of the Home Guard Mayor Quigley has promised to assist in securing the guards. An exhibition drill at the field during the halves will be arranged. The committee was arranging to secure Tad" Jones of Yale as referee, but the calling of the Eli football mentor in war service will necessitate a change. Ned Glass, undoubtedly the greatest guard on recent years at the Elm city institu- tion, will be asked to off1ciate at the game. Judge George w. Klett, former Yale athlete, will be the head timekeeper.

Dillon is now considering the ad- visibility of preparing her for the free-for-all trots at Hartford, Boston and Philadelphia. When she de- feated Real Lady at Columbus. she acquired a winrace of 2:03 1-2 after stepping the last half of the mile in 59 1-2 seconds, rate of speed that was never shown before by any trot- ter except Mabel Trask. St. Frisco, and Hamburg Belle, 2:01 IA, in her match with Uhlan. 1858.
 Other Noted Drivers.
 Of the others who have promised to participate in the summer series of champions, Dick McMahon will be seen behind the Oregon thunderbolt, Hal Boy, 2:O1, a horse that has taken the word on more mile tracks than any other in training, his field of ac- tion extending from San Francisco to Hartford, and Bud Murray will drive one of the Brook Farm stallions, Suldine, 2:06 IA, being his choice at present, although Al Mack, 2:05 3-4. is known to have a chance in any company. If his tendency to make be in the king row with St. Frisco Harrod's Creek, 8, 2:06 3-4. will in all probability represent Kentucky. Like great many colts, he has not been as good as expected in his four year-old form, but his trip down the line in fast company this season should put him on edge to race the champions next season.

During the meeting at Hartford Butt Hale snatched a heat from Russell Boy in special and the following week stepped a heat in 2:O2 IA over the new track at Syracuse, with MT. Cos den, an amateur. behind him. Also at Columbus during the September meeting Murphy shipped another star from the western sky when he won two races with Directum J., fol- lowing it up by driving him in 2:01 IA at Lexington. Before next spring he may also select free-for-all trotter for his stable. While it is reported that the double futurity winner, Real Lady, 2:03, is to be re- tired, her owner may reconsider, as she has chance to duplicate the per formance of Mabel Trask and also acquire a record of two minutes or better. Notwithstanding the sickness which kept her on the retired list until after the middle of September, she showed her ability to trot in 2:03, rate of speed that would make her factor in any company. With her and Miss Bertha Dillon, 2:03 1-2, added to the list of free-for-all trot- ters. the American public would have the pleasure of seeing the greatest series of races ever offered

CATION THE MIDGET.

Rabbit Maranviile of the Braves no longer is the smallest player in the National League. He has given way to Midget Caton of the Pirates, who is 5 feet inches tall. Caton halls from the Birmingham club of the Southern Association. The Pirates got him early in September and he played fast ball in the field. But like other minor league recruits the little fel- low didn't accomplish much with the bat. Caton will have a hard time to hold his own with the Pirates, but he did we'll enough to warrant another trial in the spring. Manager Bezdek, by the way, believes in small players.

of Ben Ali. 2:03 IA, has also exa pressed himself as willing to bring the Big Turk back to Charter Oak park next year and give him anothef opportunity to wipe out his defeat by Butt Hale on Labor Day.
 Charlie Valentine. who has three good pacers in his stable at this time, may also be induced to come east foe a whirl with the champions. The suc- cessful manner in which he handles a pacer makes the Buckeye Boy" q dangerous factor in any race, whilt his showing with Straight Sail, 2:0t IA. Sister Strong. 2:05 3-4, and many others indicates that he knows how to sight trotter, especially .. bad actor with flash speed.

This horse has never started in a race on the eastern tracks, his only appear ance being to wagon at Syracuse when MT. Billings owned him. This winter his owner, George Crouch, of Lafay- cite, Ind, expects that Marvin will get William back into the form which he exhibited as a four-year-old when he met Directum J., 1:56 3-4. at Grand Rapids and Columbus and finished heats better than two min- utes. If he does there are no horses now in training that can defeat him.
 And Murphy Too.
 The Poughkeepsie wizard of the sullxy, Thomas W. Murphy, will also be present at Hartford with Peter Chenault. 2:04 3-4. in the stallion race, and Butt Hale, 2:O2 IA, or Di- rectum J., 2:05 IA, in the free-for- all pace. Peter Chenault made his first appearance on the Grand Circuit ly unknown colt marched into the 2:05 class. With a years racing ex perience, he should in 1918 be able to carry his great flight of speed without making the skips which proved so expensive in few of the races this season. Butt Hale also is another Murphy pupil that literally fell from the clouds at the Columbus

ALL THE FAST ONES
 FOR CHARTER OAK
Midsummer Racing Series Should
 Produce Renewed Interest

A recent issue of the American Horse Breeder has the following to say concerning the proposed racing card at Charter Oak. July 4, 1918:
 The first step toward a midsum- mer series of harness races between the champions of the light harness world on the eastern tracks in 1918 was taken by the d1rec- tors of the Connecticut Fair as- sociation at meeting held last week, when they authorized the an- nouncement that $9,900 will be given for a days racing at Charter Oak park on July 4, 1918. This amount will be divided into three $3,3O0 purses for a free-for-all trot, free for-all pace and a stallion race for trotters eligible to the 2:O5 class. Each of the races will be on the three-heat plan, $1.000 being given for each heat and $500 to the horse standing best in the summary.
 w. H. Gocher, treasurer of the Con- necticut Fair association, attended the special conference oS the Grand Cir cult stewards, held at Lexington, Ky. two weeks ago. and while there fn- terviewed all of the owners and trainers of horses eligible to the classes selected. Upon his return he reported that all of them were in favor of starting at this meeting, while the representatives of the tracks at Boston and Philadelphia ex- pressed themselves as willing to put on similar races during the two weeks which will e1apse between the l meeting at Hartford and the opening of the Grand Circuit at Cleveland. The purses for the three meetings will amount to more than $25,o0O, which will certainly warrant the trainers of the horses eligible in getting them ready for this unique l summer circuit.
 l Gecrs Will Be There.
 Of the trainers interviewed, Ed. F. ! Geers promised to appear in the free for-all trot with his prize pupil, St.
 Frisco, 2:01 3-4. while Napoleon Di- l rect :59 3-4. or Russell Boy, ZOO
 IA, will be his mount in the free l for-all pace. St. Frisco is bothered i at the present time with quarter crack. which accounts for his poor
 showing at Columbus and Lexington.
 but before spring it will have grown
 down. and by next July the Tennessee champion will be himself again and ready to meet Walter Cox, with Mabel Trask, 2:02 IA, the most consistent and fastest race mare that has been seen on the turf since Goldsmith
 Maid. 2:14, stood in the spotlight of
 fame. In the other races the Cox
 stable will be represented by Lu

LEONARD TOO FAST <
 FOR JACK BRITTON
Lightweight Champion 0utbozes and Outhghts Heavier Opponent

New York, Oct. 20-Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, outpointed Jack Britton, American welterweight champion, in one of the fastest ten-round bouts seen in Now York in years at the Harlem Sporting club last night.
 Leonard scaled at 133 pounds an hour before ring time, and Britton, at 139, had a decided advantage in bulk, yet Benny handled Jack with ease in the clinches and outboxed his man in all except the fourth, which was Britton's, and the ninth, which was even.
 Leonard was a marvel of speed oh his feet and danced in and out from the flying Britton's gloves in a way that caused Jack to miss a hundred blows to one solid wallop landed.
 Uses Stiff Left Jab.
 Benny used stiff left jab to tho face that kept jarring up against Jacks jaw with bewildering speed anC often sent the welter champ back on his heels. =
 In the last round Britton was dan ,gerously close to knockout.
 
 feet on Jack at the end of the sew enth round. and in the eighth he was very wild as Leonard shot home jar ring rights and lefts to the jaw. BfTc- ton came back gamely in the ninth, and both landed with left jabs and short hooks to the head
 In the final session Leonard weni after his man savagely, and, backing To l. st ho k@v +, N>1 him fiercely with straight lefts anas rights to the jaw. Brittons knee5 sagged and it seemed as though ouei solid right to the jaw would send hid1 down for the count. X Old Master Too Cagey. But the old master was too cagey to leave his chin open to the finishing punch, and was able to hear the bell and shake hands at the end. In defeat Britton gave Leonard the hardest fight the little champion hes had since he won the title from Freddy Welsh. Jack was willing to make a stand-up battle of it most of tho wal Tn the fourth round he nailed Benny with raking rights and lefts to the jaw, and for a moment or two. in the wild furry of gloves, Leonard looked! serious. In this round Jack hit Benny low as the boys were coming out of 8 clinch and the big crowd hissed. From then on there was 8 lot of hard feeling shown and the verbal exchanges were almost as fierce as the glove work. The men were a great contrast iA their ring methods. Leonard advanced ] to the fighting line standing almoat . upright, while Britton edged in with q side crouch, keeping his jaw well pros tected from the fire of that deadly right of Benny's.
 Leonard's blows carried more weight and several times he spun Jack around with smashes to the jaw. Leonard wal a picture of confidence as the fight began, and he was never worried at any stage of the bout. Last night he proved himself one of the greatsyt fighters America has produced. The only blood drawn was from Britton's lips in the first round by a stiff jab.
 Before the bout collection WIS taken up for the American Ambulance Corps and Monte Attell, now blind. The fans gave up over S2,500. BenE,y. giving $150 and Britton $2OO.

One Cause Of Delay

The failure Of the Senate TO name
special committee, composed Of the
dblest members Of that body, TO prepare
and take charge Of urgent war legisla'
tion, is greatly 20 blame for the con-
fusion which has brought snch delay Of
the food control bill The Committee
on Agriculture was put in charge.
It is not representative oil the nation or
Of the Senate. II deals regularly with
an important phase Of our most import
ant industry, but even the larger queS'
tions that vitally but incidentally affect
agriculture are never referred TO 1t. 1t
is constituted as other general COM
mittees are, largely by luck. A new
conner may ask assignment, because Of
some particular value membership may
be TO him with his constituents, or
membership may De thrus, upon him
because there is no other vacancy.
Seniority does the rest. II he has good
political luck and the other members
do not, he may become chairman or
ranking minority member. This sys-
tenn is tolerable so lar as dealing with
routine legislation is concerned, but it
fails utterly in important legislation, ol
universal interest.
Nobody In the Senate cared partic'
ularly what the committee recommend
ed as 10 food control. Everybody fell
flee to offer any kind Of an amendment
that he iaucied. These amendments
have often been hastily or carelessll
drawn. Some have been adopted ant
: later on the Senate adopted other, tha
ueutraliEed them. The result Is
( tumble oil ill'digested matter. Th
bill was not called an administration
measure, in its details. That woul
u have helped some, although the admi
e isration's influence has waned muc

very crude proposals in the past. TIL
