 IN BIG MATCH FOR TURF TITLE
Billy Kelly Favored to
 Beat Eternal in Red a Cross Race.

\ Baltimore, Oct. 28.---The greatest race of the year will be run at Laurel track today,t Billy Kelly. conceded to be the best two-year-old of the sea- son, will defend his title against Eter- nal in a. six-furIong dash.
 Each youngster will carry 122 pounds and will race for the John T. Mclean challenge cup, a trophy rep resenting the championship of the year and $S0,0OO in Liberty Bonds Sande will have the leg up on Billy Kelly and Schuttinger will ride Eter- nal.
 L Both colts will be doing their bit'' 7n the cause of humanity Under the yterms of the match the money that 1hangs on the result will go to the aaRed Cross.
 ! No matter which colt wins the Red Cross profits. So it will be seen from this that, aside from the fact that the greatest organization of the world will prove to be the beneficiary, this race Is a purely sporting event with no other motive behind 1t save that of pure sportsmanship---to decide the ! supremacy between these youngsters which are unquestionably the best TWo-year-oldS or the year.
 Billy Kelly will go to the post the favorite. He holds that position on past performances. His great num- Der of victories this year overtops his two defeats. He has not lost a race since his arrival In Maryland, and has defeated not only colts and fiIlies ot his own age but horses three, four and five years old.
 Tn the hotel Hobbies the betting among the patrons of racing was Billy Kelly to 10 and Eternal to 5.
 If Billy Rely wins, it's doubtful il the mutuel tickets will pay as good as ' to 10. The reason for this is ob- vious, when it is stated that hi: owner, Commander J. K. L. Ross, is ready to back Billy Kelly up to $50 900 If this amount Is placed in the mu. tuels, in one batch, it will take a grea, deal of the public's support on Eter, nal to balance it.
 At Saratoga last summer, Comman der Ross frequently bet from $30, ,00 to S5O00O on his horses.
 Both youngsters have worked fas isor the race. EternaTs trials havt been a trife faster than those O Billy Kelly, but the latter was alway withing his limit of speed, and neve was fully extended
 It is the consensus of opinion amoni the trainers at Laurel that Eterna will act as the pacemaker for fiv furlongs, and that Billy Kelly, a. not ed stretch runner, will then move UT and the battle will be from the fur long pole to the judges stand.
 James Mcclellan, the owner of Flter nal, differs with these views of tn trainers.

CHARLES PORES
 CAPTURES TEN
 MILE TITLE RUN
Defeats Kyronen in Race For National Title At
 City College.

Chares Pores of the Pelham Ray station won the national ten mile championship run yesterday, defeat ing Willie Kyronen and ten other runners over the cinder track of the City College Stadium. It was not so long ago that this welI-developed youngster won the national fve-miIe title at the Great Lake Naval station in Chicago.
 Pores finished about a dozen yards in front of the Finn after athriIltng race which was little less spectacu- lar than the race among Kyronen, flames KoIehmainen and Jimmy Hennigan at Macombs Dam Park two the last 100 yards through a lane of cheering humanity.
 Sharing the honors of the afternoon with Pores were Richard Remer the veteran walker, and Dan Shea, the versatile athlete of the Pastime A. c. Although Remer failed to establish "a new mark for the hour, he neverthe- less won the seven mile walk title by several laps from Kurt Zulch, of the American Walkers Associa tion
 Shea, by finishing first in the 100 yard dash, the 120-yard high hurdles the running high jump, the pole vault and the running broad jump, became the new owner of the Metropolitan all-around championship
 The fireman accumulated 5,4SC points. John Hellun. his teammate was second, with 4970h points an6 B. Lichtman, another Pastime A. C. third with 3,981A points.
 The end of tke 10 mile race was somewhat spoiled by the crowd urex. pectedly surging on the field an6 crowding about the finishing line Pores led practically all of the way and in the final lap was 10 yards ol so in front of his Finnish rival.
 As the pistol was fired, Kyroner moved his legs faster in an attemp to take the lead away from the win ner. But Pores also moved faster, ,anG l for 50 yards or more ran with all th' | power that their legs possessed. The1 i the Finn, seeing that he could not ge in front, began to drop back.
 Around the last turn the pair caugh up with the other struggling runners Pores was lucky enough to get b! them without losing ground. But tht Finn was forced to run around them thereby losing more ground and hi last lingering hope of retaining hi title.
 Pores time was 54 minutes and 1 l S-5 seconds. On account of the crowC no time was taken for the Finn. Ter ry Hapline finished third.
 Remer had no trouble in winning the walk. He outclassed the field He finished the seven miles in 5 tinued in the hopes of beating J. B Clarks one hour record of sever
 miles, 1918 ygds, made in 1880, bu failed. For the hour the veteran walked seven miles, 1,O42 yards.

The ffty-third anniversary of the death of the great British statesman Lord Palmerston, which has just been observed in England, recalls the eel ebrated Prime Ministers remarks on boring. In the sos, when pugilism was being rigidly suppressed in Great Britain, a hot debate on the subject added interest to the proceedings in the House of Lords. In replying to one of the critics of boxing, Lord Palmerston said:
 There may be a difference of opin- ion, as a matter of taste, whether pu- | gilism affords a spectacle one would wish to see, or whether it is calculat- ed to excite disgust. Some people i look upon it as an exhibition of manly | courage characteristic of the people | of this country I saw the other | day a long extract from French | newspaper describing a ring fight as | a type of national character for en- | durance, patience under suffering, ot | indonitable perseverance in determ- | ined effort, and holding it up as a specimen of the manly, admirable qualities of the British race.
 'Au this is, of course, merely 2 matter of opinion but, really, setting aside the legal technicalities of tho case, I do not perceive why any mum Der of persons who assemble to wit mass a prize fight are more guilty 0 a breach of the peace than an equa number who assemble to witness { balloon ascent. There is no breacl of the peace. They go to see a sight and when that sight is over they re turn, and there is no injury done t anyone.
 "As to the danger to those wh
 perform themselves, I imagine tn
 danger to life in the case of thos
 who go up in balloons is certainl
 greater than that of two conbatant who hit each other as hard as the
 can.

SPORTING NOTES

Benny Leonard is back at his post as boxing instructor at Camp Upton, and is showing much improvement in the lessons he is imparting after, his course of training at Camp Gordon, from which cantonment he returned recently. The War Department, some time ago called all camp boxing instructors to the Georgia camp and there gave them a course in bayonet fighting, the application of disabling grips and footwork in connection with hand to hand fighting. This knowi- edge they are now imparting to their pupils in khaki. There were about sixty other boxing experts at Camp Gordon with Benny Leonard.

LIBERTY BONDS AND PATRIOTISM.

Some people are under the impression
that they are doing Il great act of patriot
ism in buying Il Liberty Loan bond. True.
they are aiding the Government in doing so,
and they are also aiding themselves. The
buyer has the best security that can be
given, and he gets interest on the invest
ment There is no possibility of him losing
the money-thc bonds are issued by the
Government and the Government Is COM
posed of the people. The bonds are good as
long as the Government exists, and there
must always be Il government. \ person
cam of course. lend his money at Il higher
rate of interest than the Government pays,
but the security, in many cases. is doubtful,
with taxes added, and possible lawsuit to
recover the money loaned. In the case OF
the Government. no taxes are to be paid.
and the security is the best on earth. n
person may lose IL little in interest by buy
ing bonds but he is thus doing his Quay by
the Government which protects him ana MS
property Really, he is not making any sac
riicc in buying bonds. for his obligations
to his home and the Government outweigh
everything.
1t is the first duty of man to defend
his country. with his life if necessary, and
in so doing he protects himself, his prop
crty and his family. In addition, his prop
crty is thrown into the balance, for II his
country is overthrown, he will be doomed
to slavery, and his property confiscated by
the tonqucror. The peace offer of the
Kaiser was made ut this particular time to
discourage the sale of government bonds.
rather than Il desire for peace. The Kaiser
knows. full well the terms on which he can
get peace but he ignored these terms and
made another proposition. which he must
have known would not be accepted by the
Allies This should not delude our people
into the belief that a cessation of hostflities
will soon take place. and that the further
purchase of bonds is unnecessary. But they
should continue to buy bonds, and In
greater amounts than heretofore. The Gov
s. crnmcnt will need the money whether the
war continues or ends with the Immediate
collapse. of the Huns. The Kaiser virtually
amits that their government is weakening,
and uses this peace offer weapon to
weaken the Allied cause in halting the sale
of bonds. 1t is another Hun trick, and
should not deceive any one.

THE LAW OF RETALIATION.

The French National Committee in charge
of the rcparation and restoration of war
damages has issued declaration demand
ing that the Aiied governments invoke the
law of retaliation against Germany. The
declaration says that this law lis the ''Only
one that will maize I'm impression on the
German mind" All governments that unintc
in this crusade are asked to resolve to de
stroy town for town. village for village.
church for church. property for property.
md life for life.
Such IL policy is justice to the living and
rctribution to the dead. 1t Is founded on
the I.eviti,al law. and is necessary for the
protection of humanity. 1t is the only way
to teach the barbarian Huns to respect the
law of humanity Their brutal acts have
shown that they are devoid of humane SEN
tiricnts. and the only way to treat them is
by retaliation. matter how repugnnat
snch measures may be to humanity. No
nation, according to history, has been so
brutal toward prisoners and noncombatants.
Not even during the =" dark Ages did the
bnrbarouS nations commit such brutalitics
upon conquered people. True. captured
soldiers were killed or cnslavcd, but not SO
barharously tortured, and the women and
children were spared from death, and out
RACES worse than death. Retaliation will
have the effect of warning other barbarOus
nations that may wage war for conquest
that they cannot escape the consequences OF
their brutal deeds. BY not rctaliating on
the Huns other barbarians may, in time
wage Il similar war against the civilized
nations. The Levitical law should be ap
piled with all its severity safeguard to
civilization and Christianity.

IIindcnburg has ut last been heard from,
military staff and commander of the Hun
armies. 1t Is stated in the dispatches that
he had /: =" heated interview with the
Kaiser. in which he stated that a full re-
treat of the Hun army from what is left of
the :" Iindenburg' line was necessary. This
furnished the Kaiser with the " heat and
Hindenburg resigned. The Kaiser was under
the impression that his peace talk would
delude the Allies into Il suspension of hos
tilitics, during which time he could recon
struct the shattered Ilindenburg line. This
would be against the rules of war. which
provide that no war-like preparations shall
be carried On during an armistice. But
Kaiser I;iIl cares nothing for rules of war
and considers the violation of an honorable
agreement as Il very small matter For
the past several months Ilindenburg has
figured very little in the war news. At one
time ii was reported that he had been as
s;,ssinated, at another that he had died Il
natural death. and now the report comes
that he has merely resigned. This comes at
the time of the SCATTERING of his famous,
or rather. Infamous line. and is opportune.
Ludcnburg succeeds him, but. from present
Indications, his time will be short and he
must soon go with the remnants of the
battered line. Iudenburg has been made
the stape-oat, hut he will fall beneath the
great weight that the Huns have saddled
upon him.
