BURKE-GoW BATTLE.

On this date in 1929 Deaf Burke defeated Andrew Cow in twenty-two rounds at Temple Mills, England. Burke was champion of England, the greatest fighter of his day, yet what do you s'pose he fought for? Five pounds-$25. And he wouldn't have received a cent had he lost. Cow was a Scotchman, a raw-boned Giant, and a formidable fighter, and no easy mark. What is more, in order to get a chance to earn that five pounds, Burke had to dodge the police of sev- eral counties. They had arranged to fight at Woolwich, but the police stopped the arrangements. Another site was found, but again the cops
 stopped the proceedings. The fight CTS and fans then crossed the river to Snaresbrook, but here, too, the minions of the law spoiled their games. Next the ring was pitched at Temple Mills, where the coast was clear of cops. Burkes ring costume consisted of green drawers with vel low braid and knots of yellow ribbon at the knees, while his calves were encased in brilliant striped stock ings Burke simply cut the Scotch man into shreds, but Cow stuck to the guns until the twenty-second round, when he had to throw up the sponge.

STEVENS DECIDES
 TO PLAY FOOTBALL

Colleges following their opening panic, are coming to earth, and foot ball is likely to play the part 1t should in the physical training of the Student Army Training Corps. Stevens Tech Is the first local college to find itself. Capt. Uhl, commander of Stevens s. A. T. C., has found that the curri- culum is not too stiff to prohibit his charges from indulging in the grid iron pastime. Recognizing footballs value both as developer of soldier ly qualities and as a means for need ed recreation, he has sanctioned the organizing of an eleven.
 Capt. Maulsby, commander of the S. A. T. c. at New York University, yesterday declared he would permit football on University Heights should the students desire to play the game. Major Robert Milburn, commander at Fordham, is not adverse to football, provided it will not interfere with military duties, and Capt. Farrar, who is at the head of the s. A. T. C., at Manhattan, expresses the same views.
 Col. John H. Finley, who controls the military situation at Columbia, has not actually prohibited football, and likely will sanction the organizing of an eleven as soon as thing get to run ming little more smoothly on Morn | ingside Heights. Before the season is much older Columbia is likely to have a team on the gridiron.
 | It was learned yesterday that those Interested in football at Columbia had intimated there was a strong chance of the Blue anad White playing foot ball and practically had assured Ste vens of game on November 16. | So far four games have been ar. ranged by Stevens. The eleven vii get into action a week from nex Saturday when 1t meets Rensselael Poly on Castle Point Field, Hoboken On the same grounds on. October. 1! the Springfield Y. M. c. A. Collegt eleven will be encountered.
 On November 2 Stevens will mee the Pelhom Bay Naval eleven. Sev eral prominent college football star are at Pelham Bay, and Eddie Der gin, the former Princeton star, i
 whipping together a formidable grid
 iron aggregation.
 November is an open date on tn
 Stevens scredule. Both Swarthmor l and Wesleyan have been asked t
 come to Castle Point on that date, an
 one of the two likely will accept. Tn

SINGLE c. SCORES
 FOR 'sPOP" GEERS

Lexington, ky, Oct 3-The Grand Circuit races yesterday furnished 9 fast field of pacers, but no very fast time was made, as the field saved the brush to the final quarter. The miles were disappointingly slow in the Phoenix Hotel Stake. In the opeAt ing heat Single G led the entire dis tance, Miss Harris M. trailing. She attempted to win in the stretch, but Pop Geers with Single G. won com fortably in 2:02 12, the final quarter being in 28 3-4 seconds. The second heat was a close one, as Miss Harris M. came up to the stallion at the eighth pole and in driving finish was beaten at the wire when she seemed to have won the heat. So close was the decision that all but the judges thought the mare had beaten the fa- vorite. The summaries:

PENN STATE
 AGAIN HIT

State College, Pa, Oct. B. Penn States sagging football schedule was dealt another blow yesterday when Lebanon Valley cancelled its game which was planned for Oct 26. The War Departments ruling against overnight trips during that month was given as the reason.
 Five games have been cancelled leaving only W. and J., Rutgers, Le- high and Pittsburgh on the Penn State slate. The management is d1ckering with Carnegie Tech for contest here on Nov. 2 and with Bucknell for late october date. No game has yet been arranged for next Saturday.

insistence upon continuance of our usual practice in these matters could only embarrass those charged with the accomplishment of the present great task. Although the men in all units have full schedules-some fifty odd hours a week-Saturday after moons will be free and it ought to be possible to have numerous inter-unit impromptu contests which would be fun for both participants and. the spectators.
 t'Af1 of our athletic facilities have been placed at the disposal of the commandant."

WAR PENNAN7T
 RUNS TO VICTORY
HTacomber Colt Wins the Remsen Handicap and Makes It Three
 fin a Row.

New York, Oct S-A. K. Macon ber,s brown colt, War Pennant, scored his third consecutive victory yester- day afternoon at the Jamaica track He won the Remsen Handicap at six furlongs impressively enough to take a place near the top of the JuVenlle cham pionship ladder. He carrleu t@| pounds and defeated seven high class colts and Allies over a heavy track III the fast time of 1:1S 1-5.
 For his great race Johnny Loftus deserves great credit. The noted jockey put up one of his best rloes and landed War Pennant home a length and a half in front or Lord Brighton. the renowned colt which 5. c. ,Hildreth recently bought from the Rrtehton Stable. w. R. Goes sweep On. which early in the season led the battle for the title, finished third,
 Lord Brighton had world of early speed and dashed to the front as soon as the barrier arose. He sped along at q terrific clip and rounding the turn was half a dozen lengths in front anu running easily. To the crowd it look- ed as if he would romp home. But I,oftus didn't wait until the home stretch to make his bid with war Pennant. Lord Brighton was so far ahead of him he became anxious be- fore the straightaway was reached and went to the whip.
 A Courageous Colt.
 The Macomber colt is a courageous colt and each crack of the rawhidf sent him nearer the leader. At the final eighth pole Lord Brighton stll was in front. He was two lengths ahead of War Pennant. but he wa! showing signs of distress. When h' began to falter Loftus began to WorE the harder. He didn't punish hl charge enough to hurt him, but whe1 he did strike his blows possessed string that made War Pennant sprint forward.
 sixteenth of a mile from hom MT. Macombers colt was on eVel terms with the leader and there wa no more use for the whip. The vet eran Jockey then sat down and pu up one of his strong hand rides. Un der it, War Pennant gradually dreN away. :.
 The Criterion Liberty Bond Handi cap went to Chief Lally, bay son O King James, owned by James Nc Manus. His victory was big sur prise. He was the outsider in tn three horse field, Lady Gertrude be ing an odds on favorite at to an Arrah Go On second choice at 9 to
 Chief Sees Namesake Win.
 Arrah Go On set the pace for half mile and then quit. When he faltere Chief Lally went to the front an held command until he earned tn verdict by length. Chief Lally, tn former fire chief of Brooklyn, afte whom the colt was named, saw tn race. He had wager on his name sake, too.
 For the defeat of Lady Gertrud Jockey schuttinger was severly crit cised. He held his charge undt wraps until an eighth of a mile frol home. By this time Chief Lally ws so far in front hew as unable to cate him. If Lady Gertrude had been lowed to race at her best clip sf probably would have won.
 For the first time in more than decade George Odoms own colo flashed home in front. They we borne to victory by Rhoderick Dhu = the first race.
 T. P. lThorne's Pfedra won the SC ond race and the Quincy Stables A sign, trained by James Fitzsimmor won the last event.

EYES become tired for one Of two
IL reasons: either they are overworked,
or there Is something wrong with the
mechanism Of the eye--somcthing that
prevents perfect adjustment of the two
eyes.
Eye tire is one of the most common
causes of headache--Some oculists go
so far, indeed. as 90 regard 1t as Nir-
tually the only cause. BE that as II
may prompt relief of eye tire viii be
found to he one Of the surcSt ways oil
preventing headache.
Eye tire due simply TO ovcruse should
have rest as the first means OF reliei'
Bathing the eyes in hot water Is also
good.
Sometimes the eyes are inflamcd and
there Is considerable pain. Hot or cold
congresses are best IN these conditions.
4 compress for this purpose may he
made by taking four or five thicknesses
of gauZe. or a single thickness of cotton,
Of size easily to cover the eyes. \
compres" thicker than that indicated Will
retain the heat and thus undo the benc-

The best top for a desk is just blotter
