NO ORDER TO PENN.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1s-Up to last night the University of Pennsylvania had not been advised by the War Department to suspend plans for foot ball this fall. At a meeting of the University Council on Athletics yes terday Major Charles J. Griffith, com mandant of the students army train ing corps at the university, explained that he desired to encourage athletic competition 50 long as it did not in- terfere with the intensive training schedule outlined for the members of the corps.
 Athletic competition, 1t was an- nounced by the council, would depend upon the time left for such activities which begins at the university Oct. 1. Graduate Manager Edward R. Bush- nell was instructed to exercise the op- tional notice of their suspension as university games, but to suggest to other institutions that they reserve units of ,the institutions. The extent to which this can be done will depend on the elasticity of the military pro- gram laid down by the War Depart ment.
 Preliminary football practice scheduled to start Sept 16, has beer postponed pending determination O. the final policy with regard to thi' sport.

SPORTING GOODS BUSINESS
 CLASSIFIED AS ESSENTIAL

The Federal attitude toward sport has been undergoing change for the better. The dispensation for the ball players and the second period of grace in favor of the worlds series indicated that the War Department realized tho importance of sport particularly in var time. Now we are an essential industry. Any other classification would have brought a howl of protest both from the service and men in civil life. Alex Taylor, who went to Wash ington to argue in favor of the sport ing goods business, said yesterday:
 "A special conference was held be- fore Chairman Baker of the commit tee representing the War Industries Board and a very strong plea was made for the sporting goods manu- facturers, number of whom were represented at the meeting. The ar guments advanced proved so convinc- ing that the War Industries Board finally decided to list the sporting goods industry in c class, which means that it is recognized as an essential

JACK RANDALLs LAST BATTLE.

It was 97 years ago today, Sept. 13, 1921, that Jack Randall defeated Jack Martin in the first round in England This was the final ring battle of the career of Randall, the original "Non pareil," who was the greatest middle weight of his time. He fought a dozen great battles in all, and was never de- feated, retiring from the game with all his laurels still intact. Only five feet six inches in height, and weigh irs at his best only 150 pounds, Ram dall was considered one of the great est fighters of a century ago, and one of the best in the annals of pugilism. Jack Martin, his last opponent, was | also a good man, but not good enough to cope with the "Nonpareil" In their first meeting, pulled off in 1919, Randall put Martin to sleep in 19 rounds. At the second bout Randall rushed in and landed a blow almost
 immediately, which put Martin on
 the blink After quitting the ring
 Randall opened famous sporting re-
 sort in London called "The Hole in the Wall" which was for many years the favorite gathering place of the sporting gentry of the English me- tropolis.

PLAYERS POOL . OF WORLD SERIES
 TO BE GREATER

Chicago, Sept. 13-The players pool, derived from the world series, will be increased in the near future by action of the National and Ameri- can leagues, members of the Chicago National League team said today, for the purpose of giving the man who competed a larger remuneration than they received under the arrangement framed last winter before it was known how serious an effect the war would have on baseball.
 Both the Red Sox and the Cubs claimed that they were subjected to an injustice because the New York Nationals and the Cleveland Ameri- cans, second teams in their respective teams, will receive under the new system of division almost as much as the Chicago Nationals, contenders in the world series.
 The Chicago Nationals, who re- turned from the East last night, dis banded today, most members of the team entering essential employment.

The formula is: powdered saxolite, one ounce, dissolved in witch hazel, one half pint Use daily as a wash lotion
 The beneficial action of this wash is felt at once There's an agreeable re- freshing sensation and feeling of ex hilaration. Flabbiness and all wrinkles are immediately affected, and the skin soon becomes firmer and more youthful looking. No one need hesitate to get the ingredients at the drug store and make the remedy her. self, for there are no harmful effects whatever.-Adv.

PEN ROSE CREDITED
 WITH NEW RECORD
Timer Says She Sped Five Furlongs in 55 3-5 Sec.- Other Watches Register 58 2-5.

New York, Sept 13-Penrose, the little bay Ally owned by the Triple Springs Farm, was officially credited with hanging up a new American record at Belmont Park yesterday afternoon. The official timer said she sped five furlongs in 55 3-5 sec onds, but he was the only man at the track whose watch timed her in better than 5S. Hundreds of expert horsemen, including veteran train CTS, held stop watches on her and all agreed that she went the distance in 5S' 2-5. They accounted for the of- ficial time by saying the timer had mistaken an assistant starter run ming across the track for the fall of the flag.
 Although the official time was wrong Penrose will be credited with the record and her figures will go down in turf history with the 200 for the one mile and a quarter cred ited to Whiskbroom 2d in 1913, when hundreds of horesmen timed in 2,05. Yesterday was the second time this season that Penrose has been awarded a mark that she did not earn. In the spring the late Matt Allen timed her in a five furlong dash on a sloppy track in 57 1-5 seconds. The Ameri- f can record for the distance is 56A | made by Maid Marian at Morris Park in 1894.
 While Penrose's time was question | ed few doubted her ability to run al a terrific pace. She defeated half a dozen of the best juvenile Allies in l training and earned herself the title 1 of queen of her age. She followed | Harry Payne Whitney's Pigeon Wing | to the head of the stretch. Then she came away and won rather easily by length and a half. Pigeon Wing finished second, half a length ahead | of John E. Madden's Looking Up Mrs Joseph E. Davis Ophelia was ] fourth, half a length behind the Madden miss.
 While Penrose undoubtedly was the best there is a question as to which was second best. During the last hall mile Pigeon Wing, Looking Up an6 | Ophelia raced stride for stride witf Ophelia in the midle where sh couldn't do her best.
 The days sport was marred b! rough riding and horses bolting al over the track.
 As a result of the bad riding Ton McTaggart, which finished third il the fifth race, was disqualified ana Jockey Bell, who rode him, was sus pended for the remainder of the meeting. While entering the homo stretch Tom McTaggart ran out and carried A. K. Maconber's Star Mastei with him. When strengthened out fol home Bell guided his charge in iron of Star Master almost all the way tt the judges. Despite this handical Johnny Loftus managed to get Sta1 l Master in front of McTaggert, but his efforts were in vain. for while he wa! being carried wide Sun Flash slipped through on the rail and landed stellar honors by a head.
 In the third race Jockey Lyke wal severely criticized by the crowd. Ht was riding Wise Man. His noun bolted at the head of the stretch ant

JONES IS EvENs' PARTNER.

Word was received last night to the effect that Charles Evans, national amateur and open golf champion, would have Bobby Jones as part iner in the Red Cross exhibition match at the Baltusrol Golf club tomorrow.

 St. Isidore won the Nassau Stakes, the feature of the program. His only opponent was Whimsy, and this gelding was no match for him. St. Isidore sped to the front and quickly opened up big gap. Entering the homestretch he boltedHto the outer rail, but he had sufficient speed to regain the lead and win by two lengths. 5f%iisS
 The Flushing Handicap for two- year-olds went to the Brighton Stables Lord Brighton. Question naire finished second and Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Tableau d'Honneur third. Vindex, Harry Payne Whit ney's Futurity candidate, led for half mile and then quit and finished last.
