WASH. GLEES AND ANNEX WILL PLAY
 FOOTBALL AGAIN

New Haen, Sept. 11-Manager Max Golden of the Washington Glee club football team announced last night that the 'fHilr' will be represented by an eleven again this fall. Coden has already sounded the sentiment of last years players and all favor a re- sumption Of gridiron activities. It is planned to hold a meeting within a week or two to map out plans for a strenuous season. No plans have been made for playing field.
 'Gees will have to do without the ser vices of Captain-elect Charles Schan- uit., Schaffnit's number was pulled early in the military draft and he ex- poets to be called to duty at any mo ment. Arthur Kapftzke and *.Osfaie'' KraM are already in the service at Mantle. They win represent their regiments in the football games to be played at camp.
 No definite word has been received from the Annex camp relative to its plans. There is reason to believe, however, that the maroon and gray will play. despite the fact that the war has cut down the squad.

Doncaster Has Only
 Municipal Plant for
 Racing In the World

Perhaps the only important muni- cipal racing plant in the world is that at Doncaster, England, where, before the outbreak of the war, the historic St. Ledger Stakes, worth $35,0OO, were run every year. This was one of the great classics of the English turf, and its annual recurrence on Sept. il, was the signal for the gathering of Eng lands foremost devotees of the turf.
 The town moor on which the St Leger is run has been the scene of horse-racing for over three centur- ies. and during all of this. time the meetings have been held under the control of the municipal corporation. Doncaster, therefore, has been a heaven for taxpayers, for the muni- cipa.lity, conducting the races, on strictly business lines, cleared on an average of $60,000 a year.
 For centuries Doncaster has been the most prosperous town in the king dom. It stands alone among English cities in having no borough. tax rate at all. Up to the outbreak of the war Doncaster had a great surplus in it's municipal treasury, said to have amounted to some three million dol lars. St.. Leger week at Doncaster always attracted tremendous crowds, owing in part to the annual sale of yearlings, the biggest sale of race horses held in England.

WHITE SOX WILL REDUCE PRICES TO
 WORLDS SERIES

St. Louis, Sept. 11-President John son Of the American League said yes- sterday that if Chicago wins the Amer ican League pennant plans for re- Sduction in seat prices for the Worlds Series will be carried out as far as the games played in the American League park are concerned.
 '-The new scale will be simply this D satd MT. Johnson. Seats will be just double in price those prevailing dzifing the playing season. If Chi caxo wins the American League pen- nant, Coiniskey will have 1000 bleach or seats at 50 cents. 5000 pavilion seats at $1 and the entire grand stand reserved for $1.5o. Box seats will cost $5.
 .-This. think. places the Worlds serAes games within the reach of ai1.tN ai F
 .'Of course I have nothing to say concerning prices at the National League Park fnzznzew sXork, but when the commission arranges details hope the other leaguem will accept these prices.
 If Chicago wins. I think there is little doubt that the series will begin on Saturday. Oct. 6, as that will en- able us to get in a Sunday game in Chicago."

GIANTS IN AWFUL
 FORM AND THROW
 AWAY 2 CONTESTS

New York, Sept. 1.-The Giants are supposed to be tuning up for the worlds series. They wouldn't even turn up for the worlds series if their playing yesterday was their regular style. They were out of tune. They lost two games to the Brooklyns at the Polo grohnd, 1s to 6 and to 1. They played bungling baseball They had to long a. 1ayoff, or 1t was too cold, or there was too much Brooklyn or something. Whatever 1t was there wasn't the slightest approach to worlds series form in their exhibis tion. #
 The first game was Host by axnalga- mated poor pitchiug-three twirleHs doing pooray-and wayward fielding; the other was lost by poor felding- two errors in the first inning. Dem.
 aree. Tesreau and Benton in the box in the first game were all mediocre to poor, but Anderson, who was in both games, pitched capita1ly in both,, and
 if it hadn't been expedient to sup plant him with a pinch hitter fin the first the Giants probably would have
 won it.
 Benton, after putting on a sorry pro- duction in the first game, did fine work in the second, but helped to lose it by, making one of two costly err TOTS, of which Thorpe made the ota1e: lone. Marquard and Benton were both effective. The Giants hit Pfefrer law ishly in the first game, and he too
 was poorly supported and pitched rag
 gedly. He was not. however. the
 --ncipal, in any such delfrfous inning such as Tesreau and Benton contrib l he fret xryTa 1o Dodgers assembled seven runs in the eighth round.
 The Chants bluandered with their
 hands and with their heads Kauff, for example, threw to the plate when
 such a throw wRs useless and allowed a base runner to advance His poor Judgment, however. cost nothing The
 prize dgla1ce play was made by Rari- den when he touched the plate fn-. stead Of the runner and gave the Dodgers a run because he forgot that it was not a force play at the plate It wasn't the first time the Giants have misbehaved with Q lot Of their
 soldier friends present Three regi- ments with their bands were guests, and with their rooting and thezr m1- stc they made it the noiseet game ot the year. M1he rival roofing was in- tenSeVthe Tweffth and Sewenty-first regiments being from New York and the Twenty thind from Brooklyn. The bands played dirges and taps and Hot Tfme'' and whatever else was
 suitable to the mpment.
 Clark Grff1th, the old timer who manages the Advantageous, including Walter Johnson, came up from the capital to carry on his work of pre- lsenting basketbail paraphernaIia to the soldiers. This is Grtffs hobby. He is heart and som in it, and is dos ing a fine work. He had whole truck load of bats and bases and pads and
 masks and gloves with him yesterday and between games gave a complete outfit to each of the, regiments He

OFFER BONUS TO
 BOSTON RED S0X
 IF THEY WIN FLAG

Boston, Sept. 11-A bonus of 1000 will be paid to every member of the Red Sox if Boston captures the Amer ican League pennant this year. This offer has been made by Harry Frazee. principal owner of the worlds cham pions, who is determined to land the third successive pennant for Boston if it is possible. No strings are at tached to the offer and the players will receive this extra prize whether they win the worlds series or not.
 $ This good news was imparted to the players during their series with the Mackmen last week and created quite a stir among the players. As Manager Barry and his players left for Washington Saturday afternoon after the final game of the series with the Athletics had been postponed, and President F'razee had left for New York before the news became public property, no official confirma- ton of the offer could be obtained, but it was gossip in the hotel corridor where the Red Sox made their head quarters and one or two of the play- CTS admittsdefhe truth of sthe rel6rt.

.H0URLESS READY
 TO TAKE PART IN REALIZATION RACE

New York, Sept. 11-August Bel mont's fleet three-year-old colt Hour less ran yesterday at Belmont Park It was his first appearance since July Ill., when he ran last in the Brooklyn Derby at Aqueduct. The track that day at Aqueduct was wet and slow. and the long striding son of Negsfo1 and Hour Glass II. could not extend himself in it. Sprawling badly in the going, he was so badly beaten by Omar Rhayyam, Rickety and Ticket that he finished pulled up. An attack of the skin disease which was preva- lent in August kept him from racing at Saratoga.
 Yesterday he appeared in fine fettIe and performed correspondingly. The track was not at it's best, as it had not thoroughly recovered from the ram of Friday night and Saturday morn ing, but it was sufficiently dry and, firm to enable him to glide over it. in friction1ess, sweeping strides. Inas- much as his performance was regard ed as preparatory to the Realization. next Saturday, his reappearance un- der colors was a. matter of more than ordinary interest to turfmen and racegoers throughout the country. < The fact, that. notwithstanding an ,impost of 130 pounds. he was an- neunced as a sure starter in the. Amityville Handicap, one mile, for three-year-ol caused the with drawal of James Buffers Wistful. R. T. Wilson Straight Forward, J. o. Keene's Basilius, Capt. P. B. Cas- satt's Blackboard and Clifford A Cock ran's Fairy Wand, leaving only A. K.

 R. F. Carman, who trained Omar Khayyam, was present to see Hour less perform. While he did not ex- press any opinion about what he had witnessed. he imparted information that Omar Khayyam, now at Havre de Grace, would be shipped to New York Friday and would be. at Be1- mont Park Saturday to meet Hour less and determine. the question of the three-year-oId supremacy of 1917.

 ZULU KID THIS WEEK

{ New York, Sept. 11-It, was defi-
 nitely decided yesterday that Zulu Kid, the sturdy Brooklyn middle weight boxer. will test the ability of Harry Greb of Pittsburgh, in the lat
 terss initial New York appearance at
 the St- Nicholas A. c. on Friday night.
 Manager. Jimmy Johnston of the St. Nicholas club, chose Zulu Jzid from
 the local crop of middleweights, as the one most likely to give Greb a stfr engagement for 10 rounds. The
 Pittsburgh boxer comes to this city
 with ap enviable reputation, his most recent Notable achievement being a decisive victory over the veteran light heavyweight, Battling Levipslky
 Two other interesting bouts of 10 rounds are scheduled, ini which the
 asdlitiss of the contending boxers give f1-fs card the promise of being the bsst held in this city this year. Ted Lewis of England. the we1terweight champion. and Jack Britton, the Chi caeo boxer who formerly held the welterweight title, are the other two
 prominent boxers scheduled to ap- pear. Lewis will box Jimmy O'Hagen the Albany middleweight. while Brit

THINKS WILLARD

 RELINQUISH TITLE

New York, Sept. 11-Ffght or for feft the titlei This is the u1timatum .'An Angry Fight Fam would issue to Je8s Willard. Mr4 Fan has expressed the sentiments of many thousands of boxing enthusiasts in this country. Willard has come to be regarded as champion in name only. But who Is there with the authority to strip Jess of his crown and award it to another heavyweight?
 Jess doesn't want to fight. Every one knows that He would like to retire, but doesn't dare because his circus depends upon his champion ship, But 1t is apparent the fans are getting tired of his inactivity Once since winning the title from Jack Johnson. more than two years ago, has Jess condescended tfor a paltry $47,5o0) to re-enter the ring That once was a year ago last March It's long time between bouts
 That champion is able to remain idle so long without defending his title proves that a governing body such as the National Sporting club of London. is needed in this country There is, an organization which was founded on the prospect of controlling boxing, in the United States, or rath. CT not controlling the sport, but gov erning it So far ias uniformity of rules and weights is concerned. with g view also to niAke champions in all divis- ions 1efsnd their titles within stated intervals.

 Were there a national fbody con trOlzing the. sport, not only would the degree, but 1t wouid>be possible to de- mand that Willard fight within a stated time or suffer the loss of his title. A new champion could then be crowned by holding an elimination td<rnament. s44yy z .s1s,
 E'.An Angry fan in his letter de- cI&res that the public should. have something to say in Wi1lards case pe- cause 1t was the public that has made him wealthy; that this same public 1s tired of his stalling. Quite right! .But the remedy at this time seems to be buried beneath the inability to forcfbIy retire Willard and crown an other as champion without holding a tournament that will be recognized as a champdonafiip affair
 However, it is high time Willard .reanzedl how public sentiment is turn Idng against him. No doubt he feels rtts effect in the box office of his cir GUS Perhaps the, glare of glittering gold is making him SD blind That he cannot see the handwriting on the wall. V

RAY FISHER AND MONROE HURL IN TANKS DOUBLE WIN

Philadelphia, Sept. 11.-AThe Mack
 men could do little with the pitching of Ray Fisher and Ed Monroe here tyesterday afternoon, and the Yankees scored victories in both ends of the
 double header with connie's team.
 The New Yorks hit the ball in timely fashion all through the double bill, took fun advantage of the home team s misplays, and won easily each time. The scores were 10 to 1 in the first
 game and to 1 in the second.
 A. pinch, hitter, injected into the first game after two were out in the ninth, robbed Ray Fisher of a shutout, much to the disgust of the New York box
 man Up to then .inth inning Fisher lhad allowed one clean single and a scratch hit. With one out in the ninth inning NlcInnis got the third hit off
 Fisher, and went to second on Pal
 from the Texas league, batted for Ha- Hey, and his single to right sent Mc- InIlis home.
 The Yankees settled all doubts about the game in the second inning, when they chalkei6 up seven runs. A poor throw by Witt started the trouble;
 then came doubles iby Baker and Pipp, single by, Nunamaker, and an-
 other poor throw by Witt. Passes to GiThooley and High, .Peck's single, and
 a sacrifice fly by Hendryx followed in
 quick succession, Schauer replacing ISefbold just before Peck singled. Schauer held the Tanks well in check, and with good support would not have scored upon. In the first Palmer missed Gedeon's roller, Baker
 doubled, and two infiend outs sent two
 more runs over when perfect play would have blanked the Tanks In the ninth Peck's pop fly dropped safely
 between three Mackmen and he scored on 'Gedeon's single and Pipp's sacrifice
 fly. The second game twas a pitching battle between Monroe and Myers for four innings, and then the Yankees lbegan to forge to the front It was Monroe's first complete game as a ! major leaguer. and he gave a fine ac- count of himself, though reached for 10 hits. The blows were well scat tered, and Monroe pitched fine ball will men on the bases, almost getting

TO TRY
 OUT RECRUITS IN
 GAMES AT HOME

New York. Sept. 1.-The Yankees will return to the Polo Grounds on Thursday and will remain there until the curtain is rung down on the sea- son of 1917. They will return to their home hearth to engage the Bos- ton Red Sox, Cleveland Indians,> St. Louis Browns, Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Athletics In that order. It will be a long stretch under the shadow of Coogan's Bluff, and during that stretch Bill Donovan proposes to lay the foundation for the rebuild ing and remodeling which he must do if the Tanks are to be among those present" in the campaign next year. / Soon after the Tanks return hcme the young players who have been picked up here and there through the bushes by .the scouts this season will begin drifting in for an .autumna1 trial. Much will depend upon the showing they make in these late sea- son workouts.
 Even if the battle for fifth place has not been decided by that time Donovan intends to give each rookie a thorough trial. There is no reason why he should wait until the spring lo put them to the test. FurCqer- more, spring baseball form is never substantial, whereas these players have been playing all season and should be at the top of their game now.
 Word has been received fom sew era1 of the scouts who are still in the ''wih and wooly'' trying to dig up loose material that might prove worth while that never before was there such a dearth of promising youngsters. This was to be expected. With the country at war the majority of the youngsters who might other wise have been available for big league service are now serving Uncle Sam instead.
