Laurel, Md, Oct. 13.-Joseph E..
Widener's imported three-year- old,
Naturalist, the extreme outsider in
the Columbus Handicap, won the fea-
ture at the Laurel track yesterday in
runaway style. The sloppy track just
suited him and he easily opened up a
big gap from the start.
Tom McTaggart, the odds-on-favor-
tie because of his mud running ability,
was slow to "break'' at the start and
left the barrier next to last. Jockey
Schuttinger rode Tom McTaggart
hard all the way, but he was unable
to overhaul Naturalist, which won in
a canter by four lengths.
A cold, drizzling rain fell all morn
ing, and the track was ankle deep in
soft mud.

Easy for Boston College.

Boston, Oct. 13.-Boston college,
football eleven defeated Tufts college
20 to 0, at Fenway park yesterday af-
ternoon. Three times Boston college
marched down the field to within two
yards of Tufts goal only to lose the
ball on fumbles.
The famous Tufts line shift was a
failure and the Maroon line broke
through and smothered play after
play. Boston college scored it's points
on straight line plunging, with little
open play. This was opposite to Tufts
style, for the Medford team relied
mainly on the ability of it's backfield
to pass the ball.
