TU RF GOSSIP
BY PADDOCK

Weights for the $4,000 added
Widener Challenge Cup Handi-
cap to be run at Hialeah Park,
Fla, Saturday, will be announced
today. The first running Of this
classic, at a mile and one-quarter
promises to attract sterling
field of older thoroughbreds.
Edward F. Seagram seems to
hold the winning combination in
this event when he nominated
Sablin, who won the Joseph Nc
Lehman Memorial Handicap at
Hialeah last Saturday, together
with Stand Pat winner of the
1885 McLennan Memorial. Both
campaigners are certain starters.
Jockey Wayne Wright, who
won the 100000 Santa Anita
last Saturday with Top Row and
the Santa Anita Derby with He
Did, was an arrival yesterday and
accepted mounts. Wright, when
questioned about the fouling, re-
fused to comment and merely
said that "The best horse won. I"
It was estimated that Wright
earned close to $4,000 for his
two weeks work in California and
should he win the Florida Derby
and the Kentucky Derby with
Joseph E. Widener's Brevity, who
at present rules the favorite in
both classics, Wright's earnings
for 1886 should be close to
100000.
Phil Reuter-, who has taken over
the horses of A. c. Ross Stable
and other consignmentS in his
charge at Hialeah, will ship his
large string to be rested up for
the Spring meeting at Bowie
which opens on April /.
The Santa Anita management
has received many congratulatory
kilograms and letters on the
broadcast of the Santa Anita
Handicap. The race was broad
cast by NBC, with Glenn McCarty,
turf writer for the Washington
Times at the microphone.
Walter e. O'Hara, who owns
the Araho Stable was satisfied
with the performances of his
thoroughbred Howard in the run
ming of the Santa Anita last Sat
urday, and will ship the horse
to Bowie for his stake engage
msnts.

WHITE SOX ONLY
CLUB WITH HOPE
OF CATCHING UP

NEW YORK, Sept. 9. U.H - The
Chicago White Sox, regarded by
preseason forecasters as one of the
weakest clubs in the American
league, was the only team in the
league today with even mathem-
atical hope of catching the New
York Yankees in the 1896 chase to
the pennant.
But that single arithmetical ray
of sunshine is in the realm Of
miracles. Jimmy Dykes gallant
SoX would have to win all the rest
Of their II games while the Yanks
would have to lose their remaining
18 for the Chicagoans even to gain
tie with the New Yorkers.
The White Sox yesterday obliter-
ated the Tigers last mathematical
possibility of tying the Yanks when
they defeated the Bengals, Z to B,
which broke the deadlock for sec
ond place in the only game played.
The possibility of nickel world
series" so-called because the sub
way fare to either the polo grounds
or Yankee stadium is five cents,
depends upon the New York Giants
ability to stand off the invasions
of the st. Louis Cardinals and the
Giants have five games to play with
those two clubs, both noted for
last ditch" drives, and their five
game lead could be wiped out in
| those contests.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9. UP)-The
| profeSSional-college football argu-
ment was right back today where ii
Giants. eastern pro champions, tri-
umphed over the College All-Stars
u to ?. before 30.555 spectators at
the polo grounds last night.
The experts were just about get
ting ready to admit that good
college team can lick a good pro
team as a result of the Centennial
All Stars 7 to 6 victory over the
Chicago Bears Monday night at
Dallas and the TT tie the All-Stars,
coached by Bernie Bierman of
Minnesota, played against the De
troit Lions at Chicago last week,
when the Giants popped up and
knocked off the collegianS.
Scoring two touchdowns through
the air in the second and fourth
periods, the Giants registered the
most decisive victory of the pro-col-
lege series. Two games ended in
ties, the pros won one on field
goal and a safety and the eollegians
won one on a point after touch
down. Until last night no team had
been able to score more than 7
points.
Dropped Ball
Ed Danowski, Giants 200-pound
quarterback from Fordham, and
Dale Burnett. bald-headed halfback
from Emporia. Kans.. Teachers who
is starting his seventh season in
the National Professional league, &C
counted for the Giants victory with
the ball on the collegians' two-yard
line in the second period, Danowski
dropped back and flipped a pass to
Burnett in the flat zone. He was
hit by Fromhart as he went over,
and dropped the ball but the Off
cials ruled that it was a touchdown.
In the fourth period Danowski
threw five yard pass to Burnett
and he streaked down the sidelines
for 35 yards and a touchdown. Bur-
nett intercepted one of Bill Shake
speare's passes and raced 40 yards
to the All-Stars' 45-yard line to set
the stage for the second score.
The All-Stars outgained the
Giants but were outplayed until late
in the fourth period. With defeat
closing in on them the All-Stars
came to life, and four times threat
ened to score But when they moved
into the danger zone, the Giants
huge line bottled up the speedy COL
lege backs.
Trailing by 10 points on safety
in the second period when Wayne
Millner. former Notre Dame end,
blocked one of Tony Sarusky's punts
and it rolled out of the end zone, the
collegians put on their best often
sive show Of the game. They lost
the ball on downs and then put on a
last minute drive which covered SO
yards and ended on the Giants g.
yard line as the game ended.

SOPHOMORE CARRIES
use. CRIDIRON HOPES

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9. UP)-
Upon the hefty shoulders of an un-
tried sophomore quarterback appar-
emily has been placed the burden
of guiding the 1896 University of
Southern California football team
from the grid masses in which the
Trojans have floundered during the
past two seasons.
The big IF man at U. S. c.
was Ambrose SCHNEIDER, of last
years frosh, who appears on paper
to have the stuff from which Coach
Howard Harding Jones moulded all
American quarterbacks in the by
gone days of Morley Drury, Russ
Saunders, Cotton Warburton and
Orv Mohler.
SCHNEIDER has speed, power and
shows promise of field generalship.
If he delivers as hopeful Trojan
fans believe he will, it may be a
big year-for SCHNEIDER will have
playmates alngside of him who look
good.
Chief cause for preseason cele-
bration is the presence Of the first
likely looking pair Of tackles since
the famous combination of Ernie
Smith and Tay Brown. The young
and husky hopefuls are Don Nc
Neil and Ray George, who played
together at Loyola high school in
Los Angeles. and who were out
standing stars on the potent Trojan
frosh squad o. 1885.
Mcneil is 10, stands feet two
inches and weighs 203 pounds. Even
tactiturn Coach Jones. grown overly
cautious by his sad experiences of
the last two seasons, grudgingly ad-
n1its Mcneil has about everything
ne usually expects in a tackle
George scales 1877 pounds and is
not as rangy as his mate. However
George is built close to the ground
is strong and has staying qualities
Jones also believes he has run
ming guard in the person OF Over
Hansen, who may stack up with
Johnny Baker and Aaron Rosen-
berg, Of all-Ameriea fame. Hansen
a blocking back last fall, was con-
verted during spring practice. A

San Diego was undiSputed leader
of the league today.
The Portland Beavers were
knocked out of a tie for first place
by the Seattle Indians in the only
game played yesterday, and as a
result the Padres became the new
pace settlers.
Seattle, occupying third place,
trimmed Portland 80 in free-hit-
ting game. Barrett and Liska each
gave II hits, but Barrett stopped
the scoring in the fifth and Liska
didn't apply the brakes until the
sixth, when the Indians scored the
winning run.
Portland's defeat broke the dead
lock and left San Diego in the driv-
er's seat in the league as the pen
nant chase started its final week.

BY HENRY hcLEMORE

tastic sum it must be is gained
from the fact that between SIS, 1000.
600 and S20,000.0G0 a week is wag-
cred on football alone
And the football season, isn't a
brief one. IL runs for eight long
months, which means that before
the league schedules are complet-
ed in April, England's citizens
will have wagered something like
S160.000,000 on the sport.
Betting on football is done
through pools. of which there are
more than 100 varieties operating
in London alone The English pools
bear only a faint resemblance to
our football pools, which are illegal
and operated in haphazard, catch
as catch can fashion. They work
on the same principle, namely that
the sucker must pick so many win
ners or ties to cash in on his in
vestment, but there the resemblance
ends.
The English pools are highly legal.
in the first place. Parliament saw
to that last year when, after stormy
debates, they were brought under
the protective wings of the law. It
isn't much Of a secret why pools
are legalized. The governments
revenue takes on postage money or
ders is a highly worthwhile sum.
In the second place. English pools
are conducted exactly like the big
businesses that they are. The Of
fices Of the bigger operators would
do credit to steel corporation.
They have beautifully appointed
reception halls. clerical Staffs of
hundreds and morning-coated Off
cials. They advertise extensively in
all periodicals and have scores Of
agents working in all parts Of the
country.
1t was brought out during par
liament's debates On the subject
that one of the bigger pools took
in between a half million and
million dollars a week. Under the
law. operators are allowed TO
make 10 per cent of the gross.
This 10 per cent constitutes clear
profit, for overhead expenses do
net have to come out of this. 1t
is taken from the remaining 80
Fer cent. What is left, usually
about so per cent of the gross, is
divided among the winners.
Pools are not exclusive, but aim
ed at the masses and bets as small
as two pennies are gladly accepted.
As result, no one is overlooked,
not even children with candy
money.
Pools are of all sorts. Some fur
nish list of so or more games with
returns depending on the number
of winners checked. Others list
only 10 or IS games and they pay
off at a higher rate, as only the
tightest and closest contests are
included Still others work on
some sort of point system whereby
the picking of home teams is good
for one point. visiting teams two
points, ties three points. In all
cases ties count as a loss and as
ties are much more common in
English football than in the Amer
lean game, the chances of picking
10 winners from a list containing
as many as so games are very
slight.
One outgrowth Of the pools is
football form sheets which are sup
posed to aid bettors in their selec-
tons. These are sold everywhere
and the English 90 for them just
as avidly as American race track
suckers for tout sheets.
