From a Spectas Correspondent

BOWIE. Md, Nov. 17.-George W.

Bowie, this afternoon. Though the
weather had cleared it was decidedly
cold and rs result the crowd was the
smallest of the meeting to date. The
sloppy, uncertain conditions of the
track upset calculations and there were
any number of surprises. Tippity
Witchet was the only odds-on choice
that delighted the students Of form.
The field of four in the feature got
off we'll on a walk-up and WaK Note
was followed closely by Tippety.
Johnson held the favorite in restraint
to the upper turn, where the Loft geld
ing came away to win as he pleased
Tippity Witchet galloped the mile in
LAS.
A lot of long priced winners bobbed
down during the afternoon. No more
startling surprise was seen than in the
opening trial at seven furlongs, which
was won by Attorney. This winner
paid s69.5O for So ticket. NJ. J. Pot
at mile and a sixteenth, paid SIG 20
for 81. Frank FarrelPs Turf. which
won the third trial at six furlongs, paid
more than 4 to l. Danzig, winner of

Lucas, Scrub Player
T,co " eeks A 60, Joins
Penn Varsity Squad
From Special Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.-After a
two-day rest Coach Heisman took the
University of Pennsylvania football
team out on Franklin Field this after
noon for a long signal drill. The
slow recovery Of several Of the Grip
pied varsity backs indicated to-day a
change in the personnel of the Red
and Blue for the Columbia game. in
all likelihood this will take radical
form.
Whitehall, former Rutgers halfback
who played sensational football for
Penn at the start Of the season and
then slumped badly and was dropped
from the squad, returned to-day and
had back his varsity place. He will
start the game Saturday.
The other surprising change will be
the inclusion of young Lucas in the
b4ckfeld. This youth came out for
TIE scrub team only two weeks ago
Within few days he tore the varsity
squad to pieces and attracted so much
attention that he speedily was pro
noted to the first team.
Lucas was given the varsity signals
to-day, and if he is able to learn them
in time he will get a chance against
Columbia. This means that Joe
straus, who is recovering from his
injured ankle, will be on the side
lines and will be saved for Cornell
on Thanksgiving Day. Farrell also
will be out. Rex Wray and Thomas

Benny Leonard
Stops Ed Kelly
In Fifth Round
Lightweight Champion Puts
Out Harle1nite, Whose
Seconds Claim a Foul

Benny Leonard, the lightweight cham
pion of the world, scored technical
knockout over Harlem Eddie Kelly last
night, in the fifth round of the star bout
at the Commonwealth Sporting Club, of
Harlem. Kelly was helpless and on the
verge of knockout when Jack Skelly.
the referee, stepped in between the two
fighters and waved Leonard to his cor
ner. Kelly had to be carried to his
chair.
The lightweight champion, who ap-
peared to be in superb condition,
weighed in at 1856 pounds, while Kelly
moved the beam at 141 a. The Harlem
boy started matters with a rush, land
ing two long lefts to Bennys head in
the first round and encouraging his SUD- d.
porters to believe that he was going to
give the title holder hard battle for
the honors
But it was evident that Leonard was
simply biding his time, conscious that
he was master Of the situation. In the
second round, having thoroughly sized
up his opponent, Benny began to shoot
home damaging punches from every
angle. Kelly was taking a hard beat
ing IN the second, third and fourth
rounds, Leonard whipping wicked lefts
to the jaw and body. Kelly was un-
steady on his feet when he went to
his corner at the end of the fourth
round. w.
When they came out for the fifth
Leonard walked up to Eddie and start
ed furious assault with both hands
until Eddie was reeling about the ring,
trying to work his way into a clinch
IN the effort to avoid Lconard's fast
flying fists. But Benny was very cool,
and he timed HIS blows perfectly.
The beginning Of the end came when
the lightweight champion sent stiff
left to the head, followed by hard
right to the jaw. Kelly was weaken
ing so rapidly that he was barely able
to hold up his hands, and Leonard had
no difficulty in landing almost at will.
"A long left swing to the jaw that land :
ed with crushing force sent Kelly reel
Benny whipped UP terrific right to
the head.
Kelly fell in a heap, while his sec
onds yelled loudly that Leonard had
fouled their man by striking him when
Eddie was on his knees. Skelly refused
to listen to this protest and ordered
Kelly to resume fighting. When Eddie
struggled to his feet again Leonard
measured him deliberately and shot
another crushing right to the jaw,
sending his opponent to the floor for
the second time. Before any further
damage could be done Skelly storped
the fight.
In the preliminaries Jess Duffy. of
Chicago, a likely looking middleweight

Columbia Captain, Earns Place
As End in Final Came of Year
hienninger Supplants Pull
leyn as Left Wing; O'Neill
bolsters the Line Play

columbia continued it's intensive
preparation 2, for the Penn game at South
rletd yesterday afternoon. Despite the
TACT that Coach ONeill is handicapped
ry injuries to many members of the
squad, he nevertheless ordered q
lengthy scrimmage.
First O'Neill placed the backfeld
men and ends under the supervision
OF Assistant Coach Teller, and the lat
ter drilled the men in the fundamentals
OF forward passes. Meanwhile O'Neill
took charge Of the linemen and put
tfem through severe test in block
ing. Owing to the fact that Modarclli
and Walder were on the side lines,
substitutes in the varsity line. This
recessitatcd the calling in of two big
freshmen to fill the gaps on the re-
serve, as many of the men were COM
planning of injuries.
Hinch and Herman were the selec-
tions for the guard positions, while
Cellaway played left tackle in place
Of Modareili. Scovil appeared at the
other tackle. O'Neill again used For
syth and Captain kienninger on the
ends, and it looks now as if the varsity
leader will have the first call at left
end over Pulleyn.
In the scrimmage the varsity was
given the ball on the twenty-yard line
and O'Neill gave orders to try num-
Ter of forward passes. The ball was
wet and slippery, but Harris managed
to get away with number of good
throws.
After three e-quarters Of an hour the
ball was given to the scrubs, who were
equipped with Pennsylvania forma-
tions. Despite their unfamiliarity with
the new formations the scrubs rapidly
mastered details and kept the varsity
on the jump trying to break up their
nlars

 According to her story Miss Steele met a man who gave his name as Frank Brunette, of 762 Park avenue about two weeks ago and soon the couple became engaged Last Satur- day, Brunette asked Miss Steele for her Liberty bonds, and told her thai he could cash them for her at par value.
 He said he wanted to take her sig net ring so he could get the size for a diamond ring which he intended to buy for her, and then took the watch and chain under the pretense of talk ing them to the jewellers to be re- paired
 The girl waited until yesterday for Brunette to return When it became evident that the man had decansped Miss Steele reported the matter to the police An inquiry at Brunette s boarding house disclosed the fact that he came there a short time ago with out baggage of any kind He disap- peared Saturday and has not been sesn since that time
