The American troops in their own particular sector have this week added very largely to their brilliant successes of last week. The British troops and the French have also made gratifying gains and we are now hearing of active progress of the Serbian-Greek troops against the Bulgarians, of the Czecho-Slovaks in Siberia and of the entrance of the Jugo-Slavs in their revolt against Austria. All these movements are but part of main plan of the Allied

PURCHASE BOLTS"
 AND LOSES RAGE
Aspirant for Juvenile Grown Runs to Outer Rail and
 Finishes Third.

Purchase, the big chestnut colt be- longing to the Brighton Stable which was matched to race Billy Kelly and Eternal for the juvenile championship was beaten half a dozen lengths by Major Robert L. Gerry's Balustrade and Mrs. J. E. Davis Ophelia in the last race at Aqueduct yesterday after noon. But the defeat did not put the renowned colt in the cheap selling platter class as host of racegoers would have it.
 At the end of the five furlong dash Purchase was staggering from fatigue but that was because of the amount of ground he had covered at tremen- dous speed. As in almost all of his races he bolted to the outer rail as soon as the barrier went up. This cost him at least dozen lengths. When strengthened out again Jockey Lyke guided him back to the centre of the track and sped him after the leaders at a tremendous speed. He ran much faster than his opponents, but he was unable to get within striking distance of either Ophelia, which set the pace, or Balustrade, which ran second until the last six teenth of a mile.
 By bolting Purchase did more than cause his own defeat. He struck Mrs. C. w. Starr's War Zone and kill ed whatever chance that gelding had of winning. Paradise, who rode War Zone, was nearly thrown from the saddle.

INA JAY, TROTTER,
 WINS CONSISTENTLY
Mare for 4 Years Has Been
 Taking Purses.

Every. patron of light harness rac- Ing has seen or read of Harvey Ern- est and his big trotter Ina Jay, 2:04A with which he has been winning regu- larly for four years. She made her first appearance on the half mile tracks of Ohio and Michigan in 1915, and after showing that she was above the average Harvey prepared her for genuine series in 1916 over the two lap courses as well as a few of the mile tracks,
 When the season opened-she bump ed into Wilkes Brewer, and these mares trotted a number of races that are still considered the best that were ever seen over the double ovals Heats were not only trotted below 2:10, which is something out of the ordin- ary among the two lappers, but no one ever knew who was going to win the odd heat until it was finished.
 That year Ina Jay also appeared at Hartford in the Charter Oak purse. She took the word in the memorable event that St. Frisco won after a six heat battle with Mabel Trask. Ima Jay went lame in this race and was drawn. Harvey Ernest at the time, however advised the association that he would come back in 1917 and win it. When the entries for 1917 closed his was one of the first received and Ina Jay was returned as the win ner. r-~-
 At the same time Ernest also ad- vised the association that 2:06 class would suit him in the 1918, and when the $5,000 Battle Royal purse for 2:06 trotters was announced his entry was the first received. On September Ina Jay scored up again at Hartford and was again returned as a win ner.
 Before the decision was announced Harvey Ernest asked W. H. Goche- the treasurer of the Connecticut fair for a 2:05 class in 1919 so that he could give the people in Connection an opportunity to see Ina Jay per form again. before she joins the free l for all brigade.

MIDSHIPMEN BEGIN
 FOOTBALL PRACTICE
Sixty Men Report for First
 Days Workout.

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 24---The first footbal practice of the season under the rules which prevail during the scholastic year took place at the Na- val Academy yesterday afternoon, be- ginning at o'clock. Schools which are going to maintain football under military regulations can take a leaf from the Naval Academy's book, for sports have never been allowed to in- terfere with the regular routine. On several afternoons of the week, how ever, a longer practice period is per- mftted. Sixty midshipmen started on the training table last evening, B of them from the new class.
 Pennsylvania State has been offered the date of November 2, vacated by Western Reserve. State has an off day on that date because Cornell has stopped football for theg season. The midshipmen also are very anxious to play West Virginia University, the only team which defeated them last season. West Virginia also has an open date on November 2, as it's game with the Michigan Aggies has. been cancelled.

U. outdoor track and field carnival at the Great Lakes Naval Station. Brundage had won the premier honors in the nation al games at Newark in 1916 and at Birmingham, Ala, in 1914.

 His triumph was achieved by stam- ina and versatility. He did not win as many firsts as B. J. Thompson 8 cadet in the Royal Air Force of Tor onto, Can. The Chicagoan, however, finished well up among the leaders in the ten events. He won the shot put and fifty-six pound, and scored a dead heat in the mile walk.
 Nine men competed in the gruelling seven hour test and all finished. Brun- dage scored 6,708 points on the basis ia possible 10000. J. Hellum, a Norwegian athlete, representing the Pastime A c. of New York, was sec ond with 6,419 points, although he did not win a single individual con- test.

 part be modified when the measure has received greater consideration in the Senate. The burdens of taxation as thus far arranged appear too sug- gestive of class distinction It is de- sirable to bear clearly in mind that it is from the wealthier classes we must expect the greatest support for the war loan. Meanwhile the bill taxes so severely the incomes and profits of this source of capital supply that little is left in the form of net income to be utilized for investments. Cheerful ness in investment circles is one of the most desirable factors to be main tained throughout the entire process of loan distribution. It will aid most effectively In promoting the success of the transaction.
