 Pounds

New York, September 14.-Running straight and true from the rise of the barrier to the finish, F. A. Clarl1's chestnut colt, Dunboyne, by Celt- Woklaid, won the s3O,0OO futurity classic for two-year- over the six furlong traightaway course at Bel mont Park today from a field of IA starters. Sir Barton, owned by Com modore K K. L. Ross of Canada, was second and the Brighton Stables Pur- chase, a we'll backed second choice, finished third. The winners time was 1:12 4-5.
 Dunboyne, a we'll supported favorits in the betting, ran away twice before the start, covering two furlongs on his first break and about half. that dis tance on his second before Jockey Schuttinger got him under control AL though carrying the heavy impost of 127 pounds, Dunboyne had plenty of reserve speed once the barrier was sprung, and he dominated the running throughout, coming away easily in the final eighth to wit by two lengths.
 The Trump, Sir Barton and Pigeon Wing were chasing the leader in the early part of the race, while Thunder storm ran forwardly all the way, but Pigeon Wing stopped badly in the last furlong.
 The winners share of the stake was $2S,

Corbett's Daily Letter '
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETr

Among the romances of the ring is that which deals with Tom Molineaux' an American negro, who went to Europe more than a century ago, and gained a wonderful reputation. Molineaux was about the first American-born fighter to invade England, then the home of pugilism, and achieve success.
 Moiineaux was born into slavery on Virginia plantation and lived there dur ing his boyhood and young manhood. He 1natured at an early age and developed into a most powerful fellow. Although on4y 5 feet inches tall, he possessed uncanny strength and agility and soon became recognized as the king among the negroes in his own neighborhood. Tales of his strength and fighting power spread around the state.
 In another part of Virginia lived a negro giant who occupied in his own distric. a position similar to Molineaux. The tales of Molineaux's greatness an- noyed him. He wanted to prove that he was the greatest battler in the state. So he begged off a few days from his master, sought out Molineaux and chal- lenged him to battle.
 Molineaux obliged-and Molineaux, us- ing the rough and terrible style Of bat ting which was the popular American style of fighting in those days, almost annihilated his adversary.
 Molineauxs master was an interested spectator. And he was fond of pugilism. MoliIeauxs natural fighting skill so inn pressed the plantation owner that he hired a white man who knew about the London prize ring fighting tricks to teach the negro. Mo'ineaux proved to be an apt pupil After Molineaux had been tutored fer several months his master said to him:
 .'You ought to be good fighter now if you ever will be. 1 am going to try you out against a bigger man than you are And he's said to be a greater fighter than you. If you whip him you can have your freedom; if you don't you re- main slave"
 Molineaux won-with ridiculous ease.
 A few months later MolineauX, free man, and possessed of "stake,' which was given to him by his former master, sailed for London in quest of foemen England scoffed at MolineauxS claim as a fighter, and for a long time the negro, as challenger, was ignored.
 Just as his funds were about exhaust ed, the tide of fortune swung in Molln- eaux's favor. He got match with an unknown" in Bristol, England. The unknown in reality was prominent

It will be the policy of the committee, however, to strongly encourage athletic sports within each institution and with neighboring institutions, Colonel Rees said, in cases in which the distances are so short as to necessitate no interruption of the weekly schedule of academic and military training.
 Athletic sports as formerly pursued, involving extended trips and specialized training, are inconsistent with the sol- diers programme of drill and study, says the announcement. Athletic direc- tors and professors of physical education who are already in the employ of the students army training camp institutions can be used in connection with inter- mural sports, and for the assistance or military physical training.
 ''The commanding officer at each insti- tuition will be in charge of the physical condition and training of the men under his command, and will be responsible for ordinating the military training, rou-
