between the elevens of the naval and
military academies will be played.
The academy management wishes to
procure games for November 16 and
%, and for the I'd also, if Reserve can
not play Of course, West Point will
be played on the 23d, if permission is
obtained.s If not. the strongest team
rrocurable will be brought to Annap-
OILS tor a season closer. Upon whether
or not the Army game is played, will
depend the character Of opponents
which will be sought for November 2
ard is. AS strong a team as possible
certainly will be sought for the earlier
date, in any event, but the management
will not risk the team against too
strong an opponent, should it be neces-
sary to play the Army a week later.
Some of the strong teams in Pennsyl-
vania may have dates open due to
reorganization of schedule, while sew
eral of the strongest service teams will
be within easy distance
Match Unopposed by Chiefs
There are increasing hopes that the
game between the academies will be
upon the initiative of the Secretaries
OF War and Navy. 1t is understood
that there is no antagonism to the
game In official quarters. but merely
the instence that it shall not be
allowed to interfere with military
training.
Football has gone on for years at
Annapolis and West Point under these
conditions, and the game can be played
IN New York without keeping the mid
snlpmen and cadets away from their
stations for more than a part of full
day, which will be Saturday.
The number of candidates for tho
different positions and the spirit put
into their work by both the old and
new men are greatly encouraging. The
losses by graduation are substantial,
including Martin, fullback; Won Helm
berg, end; Goodstein, centre, and
Schildh.auer, guard. yet there is fine
connection for each position. Thus. a
splendid backfeld could be formed at
once from Ingram, Butler. Roberts and
Whelchel, of last years squad, but such
excellent newcomers as Rawlings. Sew
ern and Alvord make the final arrange
ment most doubtful At centre. Foster
Harvey and Arthur, of last years
squad, have found worthy competitor

Schedule Almost Complete
Balance Depending on
Army Game Fate

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 21.-The past
week has given Coach Dobie of the
Naval Academy football squad the best
opportunity he will have during the
present season of putting in hours with
mis- charges. Those of last years squad
who still are midshlpmen gave UP a
week of their short leave in order to
give football fair start and rcporte d
on the first day or two Of the week.
AS they are not yet under the strict
Naval Academy routine, Dobie has been
able to have them to himself whenever
ne wished, and he has required morn
ing and afternoon session of them. He
has also kept the big squad of fourth
class men intact and devoted himsel
to them later IN the afternoon. Mon
day the regular order of things begins
ana only the short recreation periods
can be devoted to football.
NO great change in the schedule or
any OF the Incidents Of the season is
expected. Arrangements were made
strictly in accord with the wishes Of
the Navy Department, and any changes
are likely to be from outside rather
than from the service. 1t is under
stood that Western Reserve, which was
booked 20 play at Annapolis on Novem-
Der :, will abrogate football this sea-
son, but there is no reason to believe
that any of the other games, which oc
cupy the Saturdays from October 5 to
November 9, inclusive, will be changed
In fact, the management of Colbv.
which Will have to make the longest
trip of all the midshipmen's oppo-
nents, has written to say that the game
will be played.
Hopes for Service Classic
AS matter of fact, the developments
Of the past week in regard to football
may greatly increase the interest in
the sport at the Naval Academy. and
have, in the opinion of some, made it
more likely that the great annual game

Co.. 'sDea1 Sir.
Bayar5o, Le2 ding
English Winner

With only a few big events of the
English racing season to be decided,
those who make a business of gath
erlng statistics have already begun to
classify the winning sres, owners and
Jockeys. AS might naturally be ex-
pected, the grand totals in all depart
ments of the turf will be away below
those of former years on account of
the war and the limited schedule that
was long anticipated.
The list Of winning sires has been
the FIRST to come in for recognition,
and unless something very much un-
1oreseen takes place the dead sire
Bayardo, owned by A. B. Cox, will head
the string with total of $52,125, fig
ures which are sure to be increased, as
Gansborough, his top notch get of this
season, is sure to do something in the
Jockey Club Stakes and the substitute
tor the St. Leger.
1t is noticeable that Spearmint, the
sire of Johren, Harry Payne Whitney's
great three-year-old, has gained no
nearer the top than twenty third place,
and with the moderate sum of $3.50.
Had it been possible to have added the
winnings Of Johren on this side of the
"".0i W OPedIIniut s COtal ne would be
giving the leaders a chase for first
place. but only the winnings of horses
IN England are included in the list.
Bayardo's Place Secure
Sun Star, sire of Sun Briar, has
landed in second place, with a. total of
S47, 025. but as none of his children are
likely for the big things to come he
Will hardly catch the leader.
or tho fprfv nv ,Ocro c+,JJ;.,s a.
ured the biggest number of wins is
credited to Dick Croker's Orby, which
came to a sudden end some months
ago. He is in sixth position, with a.
total of $23,050, but as he has few
smart youngsters in action just now
he is liable to climb little higher ere
the season closes.
Following are the totals Of the lead
ing TWENTY-FIVE:

intercollegiate Sport
SUSPENDED at Cornell

ITHACA. N. Y, Sept. 21.-Intercol-
legiate athletics at Cornell University
have been suspended for the duration
of the war. and the football schedule
arranged for this fall will be cancelled,
according to an announcement here to-
night by the athletic association.
The step, it was said, was taken be-
cause it was feared intercollegiate
sports would interfere with the pro-
gramme of military training at the
university. planned by the government.

Kennel Notes

The Danbury Agricultural Society
has announced that the sum of $500
will be spent in thrift stamps and will
be offered as prizes at the annual dog
show scheduled for October 8 to II.
Along with these there is a big list Of
specials and challenge cups for the
different breeds. In order to avoid the
least claims toward favortism or other
questionable methods in the judging the
society has picked the very best judges
in the country, and each has the extra
, advantage Of being a breeder of ex-
perience. The list so far includes Mrs
Mabel j. Riddell, for the Pekingese
and French bulldogs; C. II. Mower, for
Boston terriers. and others on the ex-
pert list are J. l.. rockingham, c..
Muss Arnolt, Mrs. Kate Carlin Myers
and NJ. c. Weller.
Some time ago a Federal proposition
gained ground to tax dogs at the rate
OF $3.50 head during the term Of the
war and that the owners should be
held responsible for the proper main
tenance of the animals registered. For
some reason, believed to be the farmer
vote, the measure never saw the light
nor isit likely that it will ever again be
introduced. Still big majority among
the enthusiastic fanccrs are of the
opinion that a light tax on all dogs
would help the war fund and that it
would not be noticed among the own
ers and breeders. 1t is wonder that
the American Kennel Club or the Dog
80
making itself heard on the point,
especially as both are in a position to
apply the proper remedy to the situa-
ton. For instance, in the neighbour
hood of New York City there are about
10000 registered dogs, and a nominal
tax on that number would amount to a
handsome sum for the Red Cross or
some other kindred war organization.
Another good the tax would be sure to
accomplish is the partial Punishment of
the useless mongrels kept in flats by
who are taken with the idea that it is
fashionable to have a "mut" around the
house
The premium lists for the Bronx
County show on October 2 were
mailed during the week and the list
OF specials is attractive enough to suit
the fancy Of the most exacting ex-
hibitor. From present indications the
Boston terriers and the Airedales will
furnish the heaviest entries, and in or
der that there will be no whisperings
OF favorltism among the former breed,
{. N. Grey. secretary of the Boston
Terrier Club of America, has been Sc
lected to make the awards. Superin-
tendent Purcell has called attention to
the fact that the entries for the ex-
hibit will close this coming Saturday.
Two expert judges added to the Dan
bury show list are Mrs. Mabel J. Rid
dell of Haworth, N. j., and A. Mcclure
HALEY, of New York City. Mrs. Rid
dell will don the ermine in the French
bulldog ring, while ."Mac" HALEY will
have the job over the English bulldogs.
Both rank high in the judging line and
have been noted for their impartial
distribution of the honors wherever
they happened to officiate. That HALEY
will be up to his eyes in work handling
the bulls is a certainty, as a heavy en-
try has already been promised.
