PETER POINTER
BIG SURPRISE
With Hopples Takes Rich
Stake in Grand Circuit
Races at Columbus

Columbus, o.. Aug. Peter
Pointer, who was given the hopples
a week ago and turned over to w. L.
Snow to drive yesterday by E. f.
Geers, his agent, because of Geers'
aversion to plotting a hoppled PAGER,
won the 5000 Elks' home stake for
2.05 eligibles after a six-heat battle
in which early favorites were top
pied one after another and only
Peter Pointer and Walter Cochato
were left for the final duel.
Walter Cochato twice paced 2.02 II &,
winning heats in staving off The
Savoy. but a break in the fourth
heat gave Peter Pointer his chance
to land. He was fresher and took
the fifth and sixth heats easily.
Drivers Valentine, Gray and NC
Mahon were fined S25 each at the
win.
Other Winners
The Woodman captured the 2.09
trot after making q break and fin
lshing fourth in the first mile. He
took a new record of 2.06A in the
second heat.
The Ohio colt trot for two-year-
olds owned in Ohio on April of this
year resulted in a neat little tilt be-
tween Ramco, the winner, and
Eleven Black, of the Pastime stables.
Ramco came through in the stretch
In each heat and outtrotted his RI
walls. The time of the second mile,
21215, was the fastest heat of the
two-year-old trotters this season.
Ramco is owned by Wilbur Myers,
of Springfield, o.
None of the favorites won and it
was a profitable afternoon for men
who play the field. The attendance
was good for an opening day. To-
day the Swisher and Shepard $4,000
stake for 2.12 trotters will be the
feature, with Busy Lassie and other
classy stake trotters entered.

President Farrell against the action
of Second Baseman Ezra Midkiff

Authorities of Washington and,
Jefferson College plan a change in
the control of athletics at the insti-
tuition, whoch, if consummated, as
now seems likely, will not only con-
stitute the most important step
taken since the establishment and
later repeal of the one-year resi-
dence rule some years ago, but will
give the alumni wider participa-
ton in the Institutions athletics, and
resultant larger interest in the
various athletic teams.

BUsH's BANNER CAMPAIGN

The umpire called the runner out
Who should have tied the score;
But no one rose with mandlin shout
Or countered with a roar.
No one called him a thieving bum
Or eke impugned his birth;
But that was after peace had come
Upon a war-sick earth.

A NIGHTMARE IN

To-day / drove the pigs of lead
Down where the t%ailor's goose
Was drinking from tie old spring bed,
As was its wont and use.
The sad-iron stood in sorrow by;
The weight had lost its scales,
But the harrow showed its grinning
teeth,
And the keg its ten-penny nails.
"The auger cried, "Life's one long
bore"
The pillow said, "I've my share"
The copper whispered, GAN is ore"
And the hair-spring tore its hair.
Though the monkey wrench nut aft
er nut
From the rods that tried to bolt;
Though the cross-cut saw bed-tem-
pered got,
Seeing the stop-cocks mott.
mo game the chains put on their
links,
Where the planes were smooth as
glass,
A heaviness fell on the zines,
A dullness on the brass.
what strange. hardwaring sights
there be;
The jack-screw turned away,
A saving thought came unto me
need not weight today.
'The thing l could not understand;
] turned my pigs of lead,
And drove them with an iron hand
Back to the smelling she'd"

LATEST WAR NEWS

The removal Of the commander of
the Petrograd garrison and the Rus
sian Minister of War, coupled with
the move for separate peace with
Russia ON the part of Turkey, Offer
ing, it Is stated, free passage through
the pardenelles, brings Russia to the
front as a portentious obstacle to an
early ending of the war. In Petro-
grad, addressing delegations from the
front, the Minister of Justice, in an
alarming diagnosis of internal con-
ditions, said that he feared the new
democracy, drunk on taste of free
dom, was doomed to disaster. The
news of the day created feeling of
apprehension in Washington, it is
stated, for the future of Russia.
That Great Britain is Immediately
to adopt more aggressive attitude
in the war with her navy is shown
by the appointment of naval staff
headed by Admiral Jellicoe, one of
her best sea fighters and naval tao
ticians. The staff also will have
charge of speeding up ship building
and carving out other details neces-
sary to the naval conduct of the war.
Administration plans for trebling
| within eighteen months Americas
ship tonnage available for trans-At-
lantic service were outlined before
the Senate Commerce Committee by
the Shipping Board, the initial APP
preparations to be asked amounting
to S400, 100000.
Orders to bring the regular army
to full war strength were announced
yesterday by the War Department.
and organization of forty-four new
regiments of REGULARS will begin
today. The Central Department in
fantry will be modified at Fort
Smelling, Mimi, and at Fort Douglas,
Utah.
On the front in France the British,
after days of fierce fighting, have
taken in it's entirety from the Ger
mans the village of Roeaux, and to
the east of Arfras ard north of Cav
rela have pushed their line forward.
No infantry engagements have taken
place between the French and the
Germans, but their artilleries are
still roaring in the great duels which
are always the forerunners of at
tacks.
