NEW YORK, September ia rec
ord field has been named to start in

entered yesterday afternoon. This Is
one more than the record nero OF isoz.
when John A. brakes Savabla beat
twenty-threc colts and fi}lies at
Sheepshead Bay in stirring strug-
gle.
If all of those entered go to the bar
.ricr the stake will be worth $5S,4lo.
This is the largest sum hung up for
the stake since 1898. but it is not
record sum for the event. for in 1890

ner's share of today's purse will be
s47,.4o. the remainder being divided
among the second and third horses
and men who bred and nominated the
first three.
Since 1855. when Proctor Knott won
the inaugural, the contest has always
been one of the richest and most COW

diet the winner with any confidence

race ever held in the history OF the
stake. No horse stands out as the
probable winner. and only one or two
of them are outsiders with little
chance of victory.

BAN PROPOSES 0UTF|ELD
ZONES TO OCURB HOMERS

CHICAGO. September 16.-Home
records would be made more difficult
under an outfield zoning system be-
ing prepared by President Ban John
son of the American League for sub
to the club owners this win
ter. Only those drives in the center
field zone would count as home runs,
under Johnson's plan, and the parks
with short right field fences would no
longer be marks for the sluggers.
Lines would be placed several hun
dred feet inside the right and left
field foul lines, and balls within those
zones would count only as two or
three baggers.
The Polo grounds, New York, both
Philadelphia ball parks. the st. Louis
park, the Cleveland field and the Chi
cago Cubs field are among the parks
which would be most affected.
The rules now specify 235 feet as
the distance from home plate to the
fence, and all the park fences ex-
ceed that figure. but in the opinion of
President johnson and some club
owners, that distance is considered
far too short as home runs have be-
come common.
