New York. Sept. 27-The thor oughbreds at AqueduCr ran strictly to form" yesterday and as a result the thousands of racegoers present reap ed a harvest. Six favOrites finished in front and ir five of the six events heavily backed second choices fin ished at the heels of the popular ia vorites.
 The feature was the DiabIo Han dicap at one mile It was won in a galIop by W. R. Goes imported three year old colt over There. He was much the best of the small field which went in quest of the purse. He took command in the first furlong and galloped to the judges to win bv two lengths. A. K. NIacOmber's War Kiss finished second and James Buffers BalIy was third, while Spur brought up the rear.
 For the second time this season one of MT Buffers representatives carried wrong coIors. There was only one set of White and Cherry and this was used by Bally. Spur was compelled to carry something that resembIed them. Over There was an odds on choice and well play ed at the short odds of to 1.

CAPT. CALLAHAN OF YALE ELEVEN
 HURTS HIS LEG

New Haven, Sept. 27-Capt. Tim Callahan of the Yale eleven has sus- taIned muscle bruise and probably will be out of the coming practices in order to get in shape for the Springfield game next Saturday. His place in yesterdays serimnlaee against Dr. Bulls sO-called first coI- lege team was taken by Acosta. This scrimmage, which lasted for only five minutes was scoreIess, but quite complete with features. Bob L.av tore off twcnty-s=ven yard end run and Gaillard, quarterback on the col lege team, tore off ten yard spec tacular advance.
 Chester Laroche got in his daily feature with a clever twenty-five yard quarterback run. The scrt-u- mage ended with the ball on the col lege teams ten yard line, where Ne vile had punted. The varsity gained possession of the ball through a fum- ble, but Dr. Sharpe decided not to let the big eleven attempt to carry the ball over, but called on the second varsity to line up against the second college team. This scrimmaee also was scOreless.
 Kempton furnished a substantial thrill by running forty yards from his own thirty yard line to the college teams thirty. AlCrich's twenty yard run should have resulted in a touch down, but the second varsity lost the ball on a bad pass and the pigskin was pupted out of danger by Peterson of the second college aggregation.

 DURING RAGE AT

Havre de Grace, Md, Sept. 27- Jockey Phil Nusgrave had his life snuffed out and Andy Schuttinger re- dent which occurred during the run ming of the sixth race here yesterday afternoon.
 The spill happened while the thor oughbreds were tearing down the back stretch and was precipitated by Dolina, which was ridden by Schut- tinger. The horse crossed it's legs and went down while running well up in the big field.
 Silk Bird, with Musgrave up: Artist. ridden by Bernard, and Cain Spring with Obert in the saddle, went tumbling over thep rostrate animal.

JIMMY WILDE
 MAY BOX PETE
 HERMAN IN BPT,

New York, Sept. 2T-Whue there has been no great lull in boxing in tcresr during the last summer there should be greater activity from now on. The argument between Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard helped to keep interest alive and the outdoor battles of Jersey City and Philadel- Uhia provided topics of interest. Now, however. the real season for boxing Is approaching and there should be any number of battles that have a cham piouship rating.
 Prospects of an international match for the bantamwetght laurels between Pete Herman, the title holder, and Jimmy Wilde. the sensational little Britisher, grow each day. Wilde is expected to come to this country within three weeks. He has been of- feroJ S2O.O0o to sign articles for a bout with Herman, to be held in New Haven or Bridgeport. This af- fair would be for twenty rounds with a decision at the end and would be the first real international champion ship affair held in this country since Jim Driscou came over and spanked the best featherweights we had.
 That Wilde has a fortune in store for him in this country is certain. None of his British friends have bet ter advertised the little boxer than have the managers of Joe Lynch and Pal Moore who returned 10 America, with their beaten charges and offered excuses galore for the beauugs.
 While Americans always have ques- toned the referee decisions handed out in England, there must be some worth to Wilde. who has wased war against all rivals with success He is widely advertised in this country, and would be big attraction where ever he went

taught several lessons to the heavy weight stragglers. Roberts, who halls from Staten Island and has lived that down to the extent of building up a knockout reputation that has no equal in pugilistic annals, wants to take another crack at Weinert, since Weinert is one of men that Roberts has faced who has been able to stay the limit with the young Staten Isl ander. Roberts has seventeen knock outs to his credit of nineteen engage ments and now he is seeking greater opposition.
 Just who will be brought into the ring. to face O'Dowd is not settled yet, but it may be that Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, or Jeff Smith, of Bay onne, will be offered the task of halt ing the champion.
 O'Dowd has been active since re- turning from the other side and has not refused to meet any man who displayed a desire to dispute his title ability.
