Ralco>Defeats

Bud Fishers Entry Makes
Good Showing EARLY i'm
Race, but Falters at Finish
BY w. !. Macbeth

The victory Of Mrs. T. o. Webber's
three-year-old black colt Ralco in the
Glen Cove Selling Stakes at seven fur
longs, with $4,000 added, the feature
race of the card at Aqueduct yester-
dsy afternoon, was scant solace for
fosgy and drizzly afternoon that ran
very strongly to upsets. Ralco, the
favori;e of seant field of three, paid
such dismally small odds, in spite of
the very spirited play on Bud Fishers
Vice Chairman by the sharpshooters
VINO hoped to knock down an odds-on,
that there was little more than a pass
ing cheer for the winner when it was
all over.
This Vice Chairman. by the way, was
Just about the best meant thing the
human mind can conceive. and seemed
to have every accoutrement, including
the kitchen stove. He was so much
different from his last appearance his
closest acquaintance could scarcely
recognize him. All he lacked to make
his connections a Roman holiday was
that rare class which distinguishes the
stake horse from the selling platter.
Everything broke in his favor, but still
he was not quite good enough.
Buxton Beats the Gate
Happy" Buxton, who had the leg
up on Vice Chairman, beat the gate by
q couple of lengths. R. T. Wilson's
Round Robin, with S. Bullman in the
saddle, bucked right at the start, and
as result never figured. He was badly
outrun all the way. Buxton sent Vice.
Chairman right along in order to main
tain his early advantage. Shortly after
the start it seemed as if Vice Chairman
might spread" his field, SO full Of run
ming was he.
Ralco was somewhat slow 60 find his
foot, and as Vice-Chairman hit the
first turn and sprinted round the bend
like scared jackrabbit he opened up
q lead of fully four lengths.
But Callahan Immediately went to
work with Ralco, and by judicious ap-
plicaton of the whip reused his mount
so that he set sail in earnest for the
pacemaker. Vice Chairman swung wide
coming into the stretch, but Ralco
swung even wider, Callahan evidently
taking no chances of being pinched OFF
on the rail- For almost half the dis
tance down the long stretch Ralco
could make no appreciable impression
on Vice -Chairraan's lead.
And then, furlong from home, the
front runner began to tire. When
Vice Chairman began to choke up he
stopped as suddenly as rundown In

Fordham Eleven Prepares
For Came With Aggies

With the opening game of the season
less than week of, Coach Joe Dumoe,
Of the Fordhan football squad, started
the final drive yesterday by putting the
Maroon athletes through q strenuous
practice at Fordham Field. After about
an hours workout, spent chiefly in
tackling practice and signal drills, the
tentative varsity eleven was pitted
against the second team in scrim-
mage.
Those who will probably start against
the New York Aggies are German, cen-
ter; Duff and Farrell. guards: Fallon
and Walsh or Moran, tackles; Fitzpat-
rick and Banks, ends; Steele, quarter
back; Halloran and Kerns, halfbacks,
and Noonan, fullback.
In Steele The Fordham coaching staff
has apparently found real star. The
youngster is playing sensational game
at quarterback.

Women Again
Play for State
Singles Title.
Mrs. ,Hirsch Reaches Fourth
Round by Defeating Miss
Renee Christy, 60, 6-1
By Fred Hawthorne

The warmed-over tournament for the
women's singles championship Of New
York State was resumed again yester-
day on the clay courts Of the New York
Tennis Club, at 23Sth Street and
Broadway, after a postponement Of
some three months, with the two play
ers who reached the final round last
June" Miss Marie Wagner and Miss
Margaret Grove, again among the con-
tenders, but this time in the same side
Of the draw.
There was total of fifty-two play
ers entered, but thirty-one defaults
during the afternoon thinned the ranks
SO materially that one player, Mrs.
G. B. Hirsch, reached into the fourth
round through victory over Miss
Renee Christy at Go, 6-1, while
several others went into the third
round brackets.
Among the we'll known players who
failed to appear were Mrs. B. +. Briggs,
Mrs. Rawson L. Wood, Mrs. Frederic
Damrau, Mrs. Paul Martin and Mrs.
lingo Hartmann. Mrs. Edward V.
Lynch, Mrs. Edward Raymond and
Mrs. Samuel Waring received two de-
faults.
Miss Wagner and Miss Grove, If
there are no upsets, should meet in the
fourth round, and on the past records
of the two Miss Wagner should win
handily enough and go straight through
to the final bracket. Mrs. Raymond
and Mrs. Lynch look like the stronges st
contenders on the other side of the
draw, hut as Mrs. Raymond did not
show up yesterday it is possible she
also may default to Mrs. Lynch. This
means that Miss Wagner would almos st
certainly win the championship, for
she proved at Hoboken on Saturday
that she is superior to Mrs. Lynch.
Yesterday she defeated Mrs. A. Low
enthal at 81, 6-1 without being ex-
tended at any time. Miss Grove de-
feated Mrs. Nathaniel Dain at 60.
81 without difficulty. Two of the
matches in the fourth round were

than two lengths. Round Robin was
nowhere at the finish.

This was only one second off the
track record for the distance and
under the weather conditions-a pene-
trating fog and humid atmosphere

mances of the year. Sennings Park

quarters of the way and then breezed
through the final quarter. Pilgrim,

FIGHTING THE FLY

It may seem a bit late in the season Tor people to be urged to kill the house lies after having been at it all the past surmer and fall It is true that this is the time when they bite and bite hard. Hunger drives them 10 desperation and Inc heat In the home makes it much more desirable to be inside rather than out. Eo ii can be expected that the housewife win he as diligent as ever in keeping down the number of flies for the sake of comfort as well as cleanliness.
 But there cannot fail to be due con- Eideration given to the point made by ihose who are directing special attention to a crusade against the. flies at this season. that those killed now mean the elimination of just that many more which will be prevented through such Ewatang from contributing to the great numbers that will appear next spring.
 The housefiy nuisance has received widespread attention for a number of years. For some reason or other the num- Der of flies appears to have been greatly decreased during that period, much of which may be attributed to the active in. serest that has been taken in fighting the ny and some may be due to the fact that there has been an elimination of breed ing places as one of the effective mean, or ahating the nuisance. and it stands tc reason that the reduction in the number Of stables. where horses have been re. placed by automobiles has likewise con. tributed to the good of the cause.
 But because some success has been ob tained it should not mean any slacken Ing Of tho effort It is a timeAo proven the waste of effort that has been ex pended by declining to give the fly z chance 10 come back. If it has beer worth while to reduce the number it ii certainly quite as important that tn, swatiing operations should be continue, and increased benefits received in th, future. When the fly is recognized as . disease carrier it is certainly proper tha every means should be used to reduce i 70 the minimum. and every fly killed nov means a reduction of great numbers mex sear.

The country has seen quite enough of that. We are in the midst of emergen- cy, and the nations every recourse should coordinate in behalf of the things that are helpful"
 lt is good advice in keeping with the election results. The nation has become sick and tired of the efforts which have been made to go counter 10 it's desires. TTo years ago it let it be known that it did not endorse the manner inswhich the government was being conducted. When President Wilson asked that the country zee that democrats were elected to con- Eross he sought to keep the government in full democratic control for the putting through of his policies. The country at that time showed it's disapproval of dem ocratic stewardship by putting congress In the hands of the republicans. That. however. went unheeded and the coun- try has been obliged to get along with an inefficient conduct of federal affairs because of the stubborn effort to put through policies which had been disap- proved National welfare seems to have been given a second place to personal ef- fort even though the desire of the people was plainly manifested.
 it s therefore quite in keeping with tho existing state of affairs that Gov crnor Cox should recognize that the peo- pie have spoken again and spoken in a record breaking voice. It is plain that there is a demand for constructive effort and for dealing with important domes- tic problems as they should be dealt with. It would be folly to fail to rec ornize it or 10 attempt to block it.

POLAND AND LITHUANIA.

In the past relations between the Poles and Lithuanians have been of the best. They were in fact 90 we'll disposed to- ward each other that it was persistently maintained that there could be no war between them. That may have been based upon relationships of long ago ra- ther than those of today. At present it does not appear that the Polish govern ment favors making war upon the Lithu- ainans It is against it but there are those of the Poles who are not satisfied with the way Llthuania has been acting. There is feeling that they have been playing into the hands of the bolshe wiki of Russia, and for that reason there are those among the Poles who are ready to fight against them and have ambitions of taking larger slices of Li- thusnia and Russia than Poland now has. It is such that are fighting wfh the independent force under General Ze- ligouski.
 Such operations without the approval of the Polish government, cannot fail to mean more or less embarrassment for Poland especially while efforts are being made to bring about peace. While the
 
 opposing the forces of the Polish govern ment they do not view the independent army with any such fear. They are of fering resistance and for the time being appear to be holding their own against the plans of General Zeligouski.
 That serious results are liable to de- velop from the present situation must be apparent to both Lithuania and Poland. The two countries in view of the fast friendship and mutual admiration that have prevailed in the past, should recog- nize the disadvantages of undertaking to get along as close neighbors on any diff ferent lines.
 If it is the boishevfk spirit that seems to have, gained an upper hand in Lithu. ania that is responsible for the inde- pendent Polish movement it certainly cannot fail to give the Lithuanians good reason for deep reflection as to the wis dom of their course, and the contribution they have made towards the continued unrest in that quarter, while both coun tries must give consideration to the neeG of avoiding leng period of strained re lations
