Bet, Rank Outsider,
Wins Steeplechase,
Feature of Pimlico

: BALTIMORE, Nov. 5.-One Of the
most startling surprises of the Mary
land racing season developed in the
feature race Of the programme at Piu-
hco this afternoon, when W. r, Goes
e-year-old mare Bet, clcverly ridden
by Jockey Heating. galloped off to VIC
tory in the Manly Memorial Steeple-
chase Handicap.
This rich stake, which attracted four
teen Of the best timber toppers in
training to the post, was worth s10 900
and without doubt was won by the best
jumper of the big field. For Bet not
only won and won impressively, but
hung up Ii new course record in her
winning accomplishment. She stepped
the distance in the remarkable time of
4:49 fiat, slicing two and onc-fifth sec
onds from the former mark.
Because Of the wealth of jumping
talent TO which Bet showed a clean
pair of heels her victory was all the
more remarkable, and those who had
the good fortune to gamble against
fate and long odds were rewarded &C
cordingly. The "iron men" paid fancy
compliment to Bet when it was all over.
Two-dollar investments brought g kick
back Of $5S.30 each straight; $40 place
and S1110 show The outsider, The
Brook, finished second and Duettiste,
third.
Thunderstorm, which is likely to
start in the Walden Stakes Saturday,
won the first race at five and half
furlongs in the commendable time of
1907 So, beating field of pretension.
The Juvenile Handicap, at six fur
longs, was won by the sensational Billy
Kelly which was a pronibitive fayoritc.

Double Surprise in Store in
Games Played at
Ebbets Field
BY A. c. Cavagnaro

y crowd Of 5000 schoolboy football
1ans was treated to double surprise
at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. yesterday,
when Erasmus Hall High School
trounced its most bitter rival, Manual
Training High School. by score of
IL to Q, and Commercial High School
gave Boys High School its first dofeat
OF the season by score of r to 0.
The upset as regards the Bows
High Commercial game was totally un-
expected, as Boys had not had its goal
line crossed or been defeated ir its
four games to date. Manual and Eras-
mus were expected to mako history.
but the former was carried off its feet
by the Erasmus attack in the first two
halves.
1t was the greater offensive power
OF the Erasmus backheld, composed of
Franken, MeistreI, Mahr and Daniels,
that fairly smashed its way consistent

and Mahr, however, seemed to be in
every play, and frequently brought

holding its opponents on even terms.
However, in the first two periods Man
ual was on the defensive. and only a
strong resistance at critical times
saved it from having several touch
the ftllback, seemed to be the only
Manual player able to make any sub
stantial gains through the stronger
Erasmus defence.
Both teams used tho forward pass
for large gains, while open formations
also enlivened the game. During the
first five minutes of play Manual twice
stopped Erasmus from scoring touch
downs, once regalnlng the ball on
downs one yard from the goal line.
Shortly afterward Erasmus got the
ball on the ao-yard line and proceeded
to score its first touchdown. Franken
carried the ball around left end for
twenty yards, while Meistrel followed
with II cross-buck dash around right
end for the touchdown.
In the middle of the second period
the always alert Mahr intercepted
Manual forward pass and, warding off
several would-be tacklers, ran ffty-five
yards for a touchdown The last two
periods were evenly fought. although
Erasmus advanced the ball to the
S-yard line. where it was pcnalized tif-
teen yards for holding
The playing of the Commercial eleven
was indeed surprise. Its offence was
considerably weaker than Boys High,
which gained easily through the line.
However, the Commercial line was
stone wall when a score threatened.
In the second period off-side play cost
Boys High touchdown after Balish
had caught forward pass.
Downing tailed Commercials touch
down in the third period, when he
caught Il 25-yard forward pass from
Coburn to run ten yards for the score,
Downing also kicked the goal.

Wolverines Renew
Maroon Relations
On Saturday Next

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Athletic direc-
tors of the Universities of Michigan
and Chicago have extended a special
invitation to the members of the 1905
football teams of the two institutions
to witness the game here next Satur-
day. The occasion will be the re-
newal between the universities of foot
ball relations which were broken off
thirteen years ago when Chicago de-
feated Michigan, 9 to 0.
The rivalry was keen between the
schools for many years prior to the
withdrawal of Michigan from the West
ern conference, owing to differences
over the training table, and football
followers say the interest of former
years will be awakened when the teams
line up on the gridiron.
Athletic directors believe that eleven
men who played on each team during
the season of 1906 can be mustered at
the game next Saturday.

Bill HoHUNzollern, who is running
