BARNETT WINS ANOTHER
BRITISH TURF. TRIUMPH

DONCASTER, England, September IL
P).-William Barnett, corn merchant
of Belgast, gained his second notable
victory on the English turf this season
when his horse Trigo, which romped
away with the famous EPSON Derby,
captured the st. Leger Stakes at this
fashionable north country race meet.
Princess Mary, Lord Lascelles and
other prominent persons in British
society, were present as guests Of Lord
Lonsdale, famous British sportsman and
racing enthusiast.
Trigo nosed past the winning post a
short head in front Of Lord Derby's
Bosworth, which, in turn, was three
quarters of length In front OF Horus,
owned by Sir Laurence Phillips.
Lord Astor's Pennycomequick, favored
in the prerace betting, and Mrs.
Glorney's Posterity were among the II
unplaced horses. Pennycomequick won
the EPSON Oaks this season.

Van Ryn Formidable.
Van Ryn, bracketed with Tilden In
the quarter finals today, defeated him
last Winter in an indoor match, but on
the basis of his recent play in singles
has only an outside chance to defeat
the old master. Van Ryn dropped set
in his match with Tamio Abe of Japan's
Davis Cup team yesterday, while Tilden
won in straight sets from Henry Culley
of Hard without even the necessity OF
removing his sweater.
If form prevails and Tilden uses Van
Ryn as a stepping stone to the semi
finals, his next opponent will be the sur
vivor of today's promising international
duel between Doeg and the English
Stylist, Austin.

that he had every confidence in his

PLAY FOOTBALL GAMES
 ON SIX DAYS OF WEEK
Only Sunday Omitted from 1929 Schedule, With Some Night Games
 Arranged Between Colleges.

New York. Oct 29 CUP)-College football, once strictly a Saturday afternoon sport, has reached the stages where games are no longer limited to one day each week. The United Press football schedule for 1929 shows games booked on % separate days between September 2l and December 2S, with Sunday the only day of the week unused for college games. In addition. night football has assumed definite place in the collegiate program and one or more night games have been played on almost every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night thus far this season.
 With airplanc transportation it would be possible for a football fan to attend over 50 important college games during the 1929 season. And as recently as 1924 the late Walter Camp. father of American foot ball' and originator of the All America team. pointed out that he was forced to depend largely on re- ports of his assistants in the selec- tion of an honorary team because it was impossible for any one critic 10 witness over a dozen important games during the season.
