PETER MANNING
 LOWERS OWN MARK
Trots Mile Against Time in Two Minutes Flat, a New
 Record.

Readville, Mass, Sept. 2-The worlds trOttlng record for hve-year-old trotting gOldlngS was broken for the second time this season at the Grand Circuit meeting Monday when Peter Manning, driven by Thomas w. Murphy, trotted a mile aga1nSt time Tn two minutes flat, lower ing by a quarter of second the mark he hung up a few weeks ago at the North Randall, Ohio, track.
 Jeannette Rankin, the leading money winning trotter of the year, again showed her superiority over the shareholders and by capturing the big end of the purse in The Massachusetts, $5 ,OOO even for 2.O1 trotters, but not until after Betty Taylor, driven by J. L. Dodge, had won the first in 2 :O3 IA, the fastest time of the race.
 Driven by Walter Cox the Boston, owned pacer, Colonel BidWell winner of nine consecutive races over New Eng land half mile tracks this season, was not up in the task of bowling over the big line pacers, and had to be content with third money in The Pilgrim, $3,000 race for 2:lO pacers, which was won by the Tennessee mare, Ruth Patch, driven by Fred Edman.
 Cox won the first heat of the 2:O7 lIOl WILL .Jd1lc lIic 0Iedl, DuI tIle event finally captured by Selka, another daugh- ter of Peter the Great, driven by Harry Fleming.
 Fleming also figured in the winnings in the Boston Hera1d' purse for the two -year-old trotters, taking one heat with the chestnut colt Oscawana, but be- cause of breaks he lost the race to the New York mare Edith Worthy, in the stable of Lyman Brusie.

MANY YOUTHFUL STARS CROPPED OUT
 DURING THE YEAR
Every Section of Country Produces a
 Wonder in Athletics.

Many youthful wonders, represent ing every section of the country, have been developed this year in Ameri- can fields of sport.
 The names of Alexa Stirling and Robert T. Bobby" Jones, the golf marvels, and Vincent Richards, the New York tennis star, have been on the lips of sport lovers for several seasons.
 To this select group there has been added this year:
 Miss Helen Wills, 15 years old, of Berkeley, Cal, winner of the national girls singles tennis championship.
 Julius Saglowsky, IS years old of Indianapolis, winner of the national boys singles tennis championship.
 Elmer Harold, I6 years old, of Ash kum, Illinois, winner of the Ameri- can junior championship for marks men with score of 48 hits in 50.
 Dorothy Smith, IS years old, of Co., tuit, Mass, winner of the women's national archery championship.
 Miss Miriam Burns, .I7 years old, of Kansas City, whose sensational play in the western womens golf tourna- ment carried her into the third round. She was defeated by veter- an in brilliant match.

RECORD IN ENTRIES
 FOR TENNIS EVENT
Officials of Tourney May Have to Cut Down to Limit of 128
 Players.

Philadelphia, Sept 2.-So many en- tries for the United States lawn ten his singles championship tournament, to be held here beginning September Q. have been received at national ten his headquarters that officials are con templating a pairing of the list to a limit of I28 players.
 It is almost certain that all of the high ranking players of 1920 will play and these, coupled with the promised heavy entry of foreign players, has led tennis enthusiasts to speculation on the fortune of the draw.
 The same method of "blind' draw as used in the Women'S championship will be employed and 1t is not impos- sible, as in the case of the women S draw, which brought together in the early rounds Mrs Franklin l. Nal lory, (Molla BjurstedD and Suzanne Lenglen, that William T. Tilden, the of California, his most formidable rival, may meet in the opening play. Lawn tennis officials, however, point out that even should this occur and one of these players be eliminated early, 1t would not detract, to any great extent, from the interest in the tournament. It was said the entry list is so heavily filled with other great American and foreign players that there is no assurance, even should Tilden and Johnston be drawn in separate brackets that either would reach thel finals.
 List of Entries.
 Entries of the foreign players, it was stated at the Germantown Cricket club, probably will not be received until after final disposition of the Davis cup play. Among the entries already received are Rowland Evans, E. M. Edwards, Watson T. Knight, Percy s. Osborne, Stanley w. Pear son, l.. Harry Edwards, jr., Sydney Thayer, jr., and William J, Clothier, all of Philadelphia; Watson Wash Bruneau, H. G. M. kelleher, and Davies and Philip Neer, California Irving C. Wright, Boston; s. How ard Noshell of Brooklyny, the sen sational left-handed player; Robert | LeRoy, former intercollegiate cham pion; R. w. Gilmore, w. J. Gallon, B. D. Golden, Albert J. Gore, Wash ington, D. C.; Walter T. Hayes Chicago; Leon de Turenne, Harvard A. E. Peterson, Connecticut; E C. Oclaner, Harold B. Ingersoll, and J l.. Kerner, St. Louis; Tugh Tallant o. J. Sweet, L. 0. kamber, w. Stuart Symington, E.. Wilson, M C. Bags and Alfred D. Hammett
 Tilden, Johnston, R. Norris Will liams, Willis Davis, Chuck Garland Nat. Niles, Roland Roberts, Wallace Johnson, c. C. Gamer, Craig Riddle
 Richard Harte and F. T. Hunter, al of whom ranked in the first 25 last are almost certain to play.

Plan Subways 400
 Feet Under Ground
New York's Latest Scheme to Solve Traffic Is Beyond
 Imagination.

New York, Sept 2-Rapid transit lines 400 feet beneath the surface streets and with trains running straight as the bee flies to all points as a speed of GO miles an hour is the proposed plan to solve New York $ rapidly increasing traffic problem Engineer Reginald Pelham Bolton is working out the details for the tran sit commission and has submitted preliminary blue prints.
 The present subway system is in adequate to meet the growth of a city that has far outpaced transportation accommodations. The engineer says the construction of new subways at a depth of 400 feet will not be as diff cult as the average layman might suppose. In fact, it will be less haz- ardous and costly than it was to bore tubes under the Hudson river.
 The present subways, 1t Is explain ed, with their curves and irregular ities, could be used as thoroughfares for vehicles and pedestrians, thus re- lieving the congestion on the surface streets. Besides, the subways are cool in summer and sheltered from winter weather, The plan under con sideration would extend these deer subWays to all parts of the metropoli- tan district.

Sport Notes

A New York scribe referred rather sllghtlngly the other day to ""Methusa- lef" Max Carey. The Pittsburgh out fielder had had particular big day and the inference of the scribe was that 1t was remarkable work for such a veteran Possibly 1t hadn't occurred to any one else that Max really is in the "od-timer" class. It's hard to imagine him as that no one but a New York baseball humor- ist would have thought of it. To most followers of baseball Carey still seems to be at the top of his form. He cer- tainly is having a big year, and big years have been his habit until stunts that if pulled by other players would cause sensations are accepted as a matter of course from him. Maybe he is getting old and slowing up bit. He appears to be another wreck like Ty Cobb We'll, they all have to go to the scrap heap some time. Carey is playing his 11th season with the Pirates; it's time he began to fade. All the sloWed-up old 'spav' could do last year was lead his league in stealing bases-another habit of it-and top them in percentage of fielding chances per game. He's being this year, but he's hobbing around the
 
 in snaring flies-and he's only hitting 1925. Sad case is that of Carey and c.'ite unkind of the New York scribe to ol attention to his decline" as ball player. But pretty fair has-been at that we'll say.
 A little change in the rigging of a horse prior to or during race usually results in a defeat or bad performance. In 1912, w. H. Knight declined an offer of $1O.OOO for Fair Virginia the night before the Kentucky Futurity was trotted. She was fast and had perfect manners.
 The next morning Chandler took Fair Virginia to the shop. He had her shoes reset and put small calks on the hind ones. In the first heat of the race Fair Virginia went away stiffly.
 She made break, something that she | never did before, at the three quarter pole, and was distanced.
 | In 1919, Murphy started Direct C Burnett at North Randall with one blinc on his bridle He acted like a horse with brainstorm and delayed the star | for over an hour.
 l After one heat he was drawn. The
