 The second accident of the day oc- cured in the third heat of the 2:20 trot, when Anna Maloney caught her foot in boot in the home stretch, throwing Deveson. He also escaped injury.
 The surprise of the day occurred in the free-for-all trot, when Lu Prince ton defeated St. Frisco. The Geers horse won the first heat handi1y in 2:G3 &, but went to a break on the first turn in the second heat. Lu Princeton also made a break, but caught quickly and St. Frisco could never reach him. The time was again 2:03%.
 Lu Princeton won the third heat by neck in 2:05. This was the first time Lu Princeton has ever beaten St. Frisco and the first time in three years any horse, with the exception of Mabel Trask, has beaten him.

MANY AMERICANS TAKING ENGLISH
 GIRLS AS BRIDES

With the American Army in Eng land, Aug. 24.--- When the American army ret to the United States there willWo with 1t, or at about that time, many women who, though Br-l- ish born, have become American cit izens. They have married American soldiers and the indications are that their example will be followed by many others.
 Marriage of men while in the ser vice is not regarded with favor either by the war department or by officers at Headquarters in England, but consent to a wedding has been given In more than one camp.
 So far the marriages have been be- tween the English girls and the en- listed men, and in some cases the bride has worn the uniform of one of the many women's auxiliary corps or the British army In such cases the girl has continued in the service or her country and the goodbyes when orders have come for moving have 1n- cluded the expression of the nope that they may "see each other In France

BIC THREE MAY RESUME ''CRID"
 TITLE BATTLES

New York, Aug. 24.-Reports from various college sport centers indicate an unsettled state of affairs so far as football dates are concerned when compared with 8 similar period of the season in normal years. In past au- tumns the opening week of August has found the coaches and managers with the majority of their preliminary work finished and the candidates awaiting the call for practice. In sharp con- trast, the present month finds some of the colleges without football train- CTS or coaches and schedules with from two to five open dates while many others have yet to decide wheth- CT football will be played or not dur ing the next three months.
 This is particularly true of several of the more important eastern institu- tions, including Harvard, Yale and Princeton. While there are indica> tions that football will be resumed and these universities represented on the gridiron by elevens, nothing defi- mite has been announced by the ath- letic authorities. If the game is play ed by these three it is likely that it VIII De upon d EeSITlCleu SCdle IHOS6 colleges which still support football and are annual opponents of Harvard, Princeton and Yale have prepared their schedules and unless there should be cancellations along the line it is doubtful if many dates could be given the big teams so late in the season.
 It is presumed that should Prince ton, Yale and Harvard decide to place teams upon the field this autumn they will meet in a sort of round-robin schedule as was in baseball and track athletics last spring. It has also been suggested that the elevens play only every other Saturday and if this inno- vation were adopted a few games with cantonment and service teams could easily fill out the curtailed schedule. The revival of the game by the big three may also have the effect of re- storing the annual Army-Navy con- test Both Annapolis and West Point will support elevens this season and each has reserved an open date for such a match, providing the govern ment authorities will sanction the game.

BIG SERIES DETAILS READY, BAN DECLARES

Chicago, Aug. 24-President Ban Johnson, of the American League, said last night that details for the world series, arranged at the special meet ing of the National Baseball Commis- sion in Cincinnati, probably will be announced tomorrow. The games, ac- cording to the tentative plans, will be- gin September 4.
 Chicago has practically won the National League pennant, as yester- days victory gave the Cubs a lead of ten and one-half games over New York, the runner-up. The curtailing of the season has resulted in an un- certainty as to the number of games the clubs in both leagues will play. There is possibility that Chicago could be nosed out as fourteen games remain on it's schedule.

GIANTS DEFEATED IN FINAL BATTLE
 WITH THE CUBS

Chicago, Aug. 24 - Cecil Causey weakened in the ninth inning of yes terday's game and the Cubs rushed two runs over the plate, giving them to 2 victory over the Giants in thel ast game of the year between these teams. For eight innings Cau- sey got by rather nicely, though only sharp fielding behind him pulled him out of one or two tight places.
 When the Cubs went to bat in the ninth and the Giants apparently had the game sewed up, Causey blew it away in short order. Phil Douglas hurled eight innings of the fray for the Cubs, retiring in favor of a pinch hitter in the Cubs half of that frame, and Speed Martin worked tho last inning for Mitchell's men. Rain fell intermitteptly throughout the pastime.
 The Giants were the first to score, a scratch hit by George Burns start ing them on their way to two runs in the sixth inning. Young followed Burns hit by drawing pass and Kauff slugged the ball down the left field foul line for two bases, scoring | both men.
 The Cubs pushed a run over the plate in their half of the same in- ming. After Douglas had been retir- ed F,lack doubled to left and went to third when Burns made a wild peg to | head hi hmoff at the far corner. Hollocher then hosted a sacrifice fly to Kauff, and Flack beat Benny's perfect throw to the plate by inches.
 The score remained unchanged un- til the Cubs half of the ninth, when Causey, who had allowed only five scattered hits. suddenly lost his grip
 He hit Merkle with a pitched ball and Pick singled to right. A single tc left by Charley Deal filled the bases and .O'Farrel rapped a double tC right centre, scoring Merkle and | Pick.

Baker Gives Final
 Sanction To Series
Secretary of War to Allow Extension to September 15 to Players Who Will Be Involved in Worlds Series Baseball Games.

Washington, Aug. 24-The Worlds Series will be played.
 Secretary of War Baker has finally put the seal of his official approval on 8 time extension for those players called in the draft who will partici- pate in the post-season games be- tween the winners of the American and National League pennants. In the course of his daily conference with the correspondents the Secretary said:
 '"The Baseball Commission asks me to give official sanction to the World s Series and my disposition is to do t. I will write to Gen. Crowder and tell him that I would be glad to have the local draft boards informed that I am in sympathy with an extension to Sept. 15 for such persons as will be involved in the Worlds Series"
 This means that the long anxiety of the baseball world is at an end, for while Secreatry Baker refrains from Issuing an order directing the local boards to extend the time of calling to the colors players involved, his wishes will be respected by all of them and the National Commission may now proceed with plans for the an nual diamond classic.
 Secretary Bakers decision did not come as a surprise, for he had already indicated that he was favorably dis posed to making the playing of the se- ries possible, largely because of the interest he was informed that the American soldiers at the front have in the national sport. It was his con- viction that events of this sort stimu. late the enthusiasm of the soldiers foI their own sports and are generally val. uable in maintaining morale.
 Chicago, Aug. 2-Professional base. ball players were made happy yester. day when Secretary Baker instructed Gen. Crowder to delay until Sept. IL enforcement of the work or fight or. der as it affects these men. Incl. dentally, Ban Johnson, president o1 the American League said that de. tails for the Worlds Series, arranged at the special meeting of the Nationa Baseball Commission in Cincinnati probably, will be announced today The games, according to the tentative plan, will begin on Sept. 4.
 Chicago has practically won the Ma tional League pennant, as yesterday victory gained for the Cubs a lead Q ten and one-half games over Nev York, the runner-up. The curtailinl of the season has resulted in an un certainty as to the number of game the clubs in both leagues will play There is a possibility that Chicago could be nosed out, as fourteen game remain on its schedule.

Another story of a golfer who played his way out of a peculiar "lie" has arrived from the middle west During a recent tournament one of the contestants drove his ball into a tree and after considerable search- ing it was discovered in a crotch of one of the branches, some 10 feet above the ground. In order to avoid penalty for lifting the golfer climb ed to the shoulders of two compan- ions and from this uncertain stance managed to drive the ball back to the fairway using a butter for the aerial stroke.

SPORTING NOTES

Reports from the Pacific Northwest state that Carl Johnson. the youthful hurdler of Spokane, will compete at the National A. A. U., track and field championship scheduled for the Great Lakes N. T. S., Sept. 20, 21 and 2S. Johnson, running as a member of the University of Michigan track team last spring, was one of the sensations of the season. At the Western Con- ference College championship John son won three firsts and was the largest individual scorer for Michi- gan, which won the meet. He won both the 120 and 22O yard hurdles and then leaped to first place in the running broad jump clearing 2S feet 11A inches. Johnson will in all probability compete under the colors of the Spokane A. A. C., and if in condition may create a new record for he will have plenty of keen com petition in his specialties.

NURSES NEEDED IN
MILITARY HOSPITALS
Surgeon General Asks Red Cross To
Supply 5000 Nurses

Surgeon General Gorgas Of the
United States army has called upon
the American Red Cross to supply to
the Army Nurse Corps five thousand
nurses between now and the first Of
June These nurses are needed for
service in the military hospitals botn
in this country and abroad Although
the Red Cross has already supplied
nearly 1000 nurses as a reserve for
the Army and Navy Nurse Corps since
the beginning Of the war; the impera-
tive need for a greater army of nurses
grows daily as the war progresses.
According to a statement made by
Surgeon General Gorgas, it is estimat-
ed that there are between eighty and
ninety thousand registered nurses in
the United States, and that approx
mately thirty thousand will be need
ed for service in army hospitals during
the present year. The immediate need
for five thousand Of these is empha-
sized.
Miss Jane A. Delano, Director of th4
Department Of Nursing Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross said:
mot only are we appealing to the
nurses to volunteer for this service,
but we also appeal to the public and to
the physicians employing these nurses
to aid in making it possible for them,
without too great financial sacrifice
on their part, to hold themselves in
readiness to respond to the call of
their country We wish also to bring
to the attention OF nurses the unusual
opportunity offered by the insurance
law enacted for the protection of our
army and navy, which applies equally
to nurses assigned to duty as members
Of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
"a great. responsibility rests upon
the nurses Of the country. They are
the only group Of women recognized
as a part Of the military establishment,
and should be looked upon as the rep
resentatives Of the womanhood OF
America at the front
Not only should the other women
Of the country encourage nurses to
volunteer for service. but they should
make every effort possible to protect
the nurses holding themselves ready
for service and share with them the re-
spnnsfb.1ty end sacrifices necessary"
