PARD PEARCE LATEST
SENSATION AT PENN
Southern Lad Regarded as a
Find by Quaker Coaches.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 11.-Out on
the field less than ten days. Pard Pearce,
star quarterback Of the Penn 1917 team,
is now the sensation OF the red and
blue camp. Pearce is out for either a
halfbach or quarterback post, and II
looks as though he might capture the
former. The coaches stuck the husky
Southern Lad in in the closing minutes OF
the Pennsylvania Military College game
and he tore up things In great shape.
A year ago rearce was calling the
signals for Coach By Dlckson's League
Island Navy Yard team and made such
a neat job OF IL that he was regarded
as one of the snappiest quarterbacls in
the service. Pearce stands a good
chance of busting Big Ben Derr, the
South Dakota veteran, who was
star on the red and blue team In 1917.
In all respect to the latter Il must be
said that he is slow rounding into form
this season.
Paired on with Pearce, Bots Drummer,
the former Lehigh lad, continues TO play
brilliantly at halfback. His punting

Washington and Jefferson coaches will
be directed toward shaping the team for
the important Syracuse battle, two weeks
away. The Presidents meet Westmin-
eter, 1t is true, next Saturday. but the
United Presbyterians should not cause
Coach Morrow's men a great deal OF
trouble Westminster Ia coached this
year by WimberIy, the old w. and J..
guard and captain, and his team can be
expected to do better here than It did
at Morgantown. for Wimberly knows the

men improve greatly Washington and
Jefferson should be able to use many
substitutes after the first quarter and
conserve its first string stars for the
contest in the Syracuse stadium.

The autumn meeting OF the Empirs
City Racing Association which will b.

October Is will bring to close the
most successful season Of thoroughbred
sport the State Of New York has known
in more than a decade. Horses OF super.
lative merit have been seen and many
time performances have been placed on
the record books which should remain
there for some years.
Those who remember Morris Park and
the quality of the sport enjoyed at that
popular course know that some Of the
very best racing of the year took place
during the autumn at that point before
the Westchester Racing Association
established a new home on Long Island.
Morris Park was the pride Of It's
owner. John A. Morris, aud no man was
fonder Of a good horse than he. He
came by his love of racing honestly. az
his father. Francis Morris, was sports
man Of the old school who was not con-
tent to win races in the United States
but furnished the sinews of war for the
famous English campaign in which Prior
and Prioress played such a prominent
part.
1t is a coincidence that the course

racing at the present time should be
controlled by single owner, James
Butler having no partners in the or

his intention to have 1t a model Of its
kind when the Improvements now
planned for its Identification have been
completed.
The programme for the opening day
Is designed to give the public a chance
to see the best horses In training The
Columbus Handicap at one mile and
furlong has an added value OF $500.
The pick of the handicap division will
no doubt be seen in this contest. As
all of the purses for the opening day
will have value of s1,361, the best
available material in training will be
sent to the post
More than $4,000 is hung up for
stakes and purses during the twelve
days Of the meeting. There are no
fewer than thirteen overnight events
having an added value of 81 900 each,
and the proof that horsemen like the
conditions framed for the races at tho
course and the track itself lies in the
fact that every available stable has
been taken.
1t has always been the policy OF the
Empire management to encourage bud
ding jockey talent. as there is a short
age OF good riders. With this end in
view a race for maiden riders will be

October 2S. The association will do
nate the sum of s25 to the rider of the
winner of this contest, which will be

There Will be an incentive for the
older riders to put forth their best
efforts during the meeting in the shape

reconstruction Of the Industrial life

Army life has discouraged the spectac-

The British Davis tennis cup team

Beckett is a simple hearted giant. A

boxing career in such a booth. Now,
like Beckett, he Is steadily amassing a
fortune. He sails for America in a few
days to fulhl two engagements at $780,

Wild's appearance suggests slowly ma
