The disbarment of th?- hero of two Olym?

that militai*) authority was brought to
i pon :i set of games other than regi?
mental The trouble dates hack to "Peer?
less Mel's'' dishonorable discharge from the
2.'?i Regiment, last year.
Major Klemyer said in reference to Phf-p
pard's disbarment: '?Bbeppard will n-n be
allowed ?o compete in this armory, nor in
any other hulldlng of ihe National Gunrd
Of the State of New York.''
The one-mi!?- evening recreation centre

night and was won J>y the flying four of
th? High School of Cr.mmcioe neutre. LeSSS
than a yard separated the ?'ommerce la-Is
from ?'entre No. M. of Rrooklyn, which
won second place by a comfortable mar?
gin from No. '." of the lower Ensi Wde,
Boyrrour Simpson, who at one time wa:*
one of 'he best athletes of the Hlph School
of Commerce, started the race for bis
almo mater. He opened a wide trap on his
relay, but his companions were not as
fleet, and Beck, who ran last for ?'om?
merce. broke the tape first only because
Oreenh^rg, of No SI, Rmoklyn, missed hil
stride in the last ten feet.
Abel Klvlai, the national one-mile < ham
ph.n of the New York Athleti.- Club, fig?
ured prominently in the victory of the
team of GlmtNel Brothers in the one-mile
drvfif.ods siore relay race. The teams of
YVfinrimaker and R. 11 Ifacy prei-sed hard
at ail times, and Klvlat tcoa up the race
on'v a half step In front of S. Rilry. ?.'
"aYanamaker's. The pace was killing, and
for a moment It appeared a* If Rlley would
pass the flying; leader. Klviat. howev? r.
was far from done, and on the last turn
he leaped out In a finishing sprint and
crossed the tape first l>v about two yard-.
Fred Kaiser, the indoor walking <?iam
rtf.n of the New York Athletic Chip, wan
the victim of too liberal handicapping 1n
the one-mile walking race and finished in
fourth place, beaten for third honors by
Kdwin Renz, of the Mohawk Athletic Club.
Ranz started with an allowance of ten sec?
onds, and. walk as fast as he could.
Kaiser was unable to cut down that ha.l
in time to gain a place.
Without the aid of their star runner, the
Irish-American Club was fortunate to se?
cure second honors in the Interclub relay
race, which the second team of the New
York Athletic ?"Iub won. Rosenherger,
running from scratch, started the race for
the Irish team, hut he was unable to make
up the handicap of his opponents and
Valentine took up the running in last
place, about four yards In the ruck. He
f?rouchy. Walther. both New York men,
and H?user, of the National Club, were
showing him the way. On the third lap
Richmond and "?Vood. of the New Yorks,
were out In the lead, with Terwllligr-r, of
the Irish club, trying his beet to hold
place. On the last relay the first team of
the New York Athletic Cluh failed to touch
off properly and was at on.-.- disqualified.
I'epls. running last for the Irish club, man
. t.? pass his rival from tb-^ National
Cluh, but Kdriie Prick, running well within
himself, finished a comfortable winner.
J. J. McNaVnara, of the Irish-American
Athletic Club, won the ten-mile road run,
?tartine at Bath Beach. The veteran
Irishman Started ftom scratch, and run?
ning a well judged race gradually worked j
himself up from the rear and swung out Into
the lead In th.- last mile and a half M
?amara was the first man t?. enter the
track of the armory and was royally re?

ME K LONG FIGHT
Beats Cornell at Hockey in Extra
Period Struggle.
HARMON SHOOTS TWO GOALS
Last Year's Champions Now a
Bad Last in Play for
College Title.
In one of the most protracted hockey
ramea ever played tn this city Vale defeat?
ed Cornell 2 goals to l at the St. Nicholas
Skating Rink last night. The reame was in
the Intercollegiate I?eague championship
series and the Yale team was making its
first appearance Cornell, winner of the
tile last year. Is now In a had way, being
charged with three defeats and no vic?
tories.
Last night's contest was unusual for the
reason that the opposing sides were corn
pi lied to play an extra period, which lasted
? trifle more than twcnty-flve minutes.
Team work appeared only In spots, and It j
xas also noticeahle that the collegians paid
more attention to checking each other than
they did in keeping their eye on the puck.
Carhardt. Vale's sturdy goal keeper, who
wears a "V" as a result of prowess on the
laseiiaii diamond, put up a great same at
the not. Clyde Martin, the speedy left
wine, also got Into most of the plays.
Martin was formerly a schoolboy champion
speed skater
So far as goal keeping was concern??d,
Vail, who guarded Cornell's net, did brill?
iant work, and If it had not been for his
rare Mocking and clearing the Blue's total
would have been much larg'-r. Hill. Cor?
nell's big rover, could always be counted I
upon to advance the puck when he got it .
in his possession, while Smith, at cover
print for the ?ame team, also worked like
a Trojan
Early In the first half Hill shot the puek
into the net for the Tihaca seven, bat the
goal was not allowed because of offside
play. Finally, after twelve minutes. More
made a goal for Cornell. It was a side shot
from a rebound off Mill's stick. There?
after In this period the battle waged mostly
in Yale Ice. not h sides, however, had no
trouble in breaking up the other's defence.
Vale evened the score almost Immediately
after the second half was started. In n
scrimmage close to Cornell's cage Harmon
shot the coal, the time being 1:03. A little
later Clarke, Cornell's point, had the wind
knocked out of him, and it was several min?
utes before he could continue. The play
became fiercer from there on. and Martin
had to take a minute's rest for tripping.
Howe retired toward th? end of the half in
favor of ICcCreary. When the second half
ended with the score a tie, 1 to 1. th? op?
posing captains agreed t?> continue "till
sudden d?-;?t!i," us Kniest Garr?n, the ref?
eree, was [timer* t?. put It. The term was
hardly appropriate in this Instance, for the
extra Fission proved "slow torture." Old
timers said they had never seen such a
long extra period.
Wallace, Sfho had replaced Chuncey at
rlcht wing for the Mue, became t?x> ag
grOSSive an?! received a rest. Much rough
work prevailed, players hitting the ice hard'
at short intervals. Means had his leg bad?
ly hurt and had to quit. The pa? e r.,n
tlnued with no let-up. which spoke well for
the condition of the skater.?
Suddenly the puck snot out from among
a bunch of players The rubber stopped
?il.out fifteen yards from Cornell'? .age. a
trifle to one side. Harmon reached the rub?
ber in a trice, missed the puck completely
on his first try, but recovered and shot it
past Vail. The victorious player? tl,.-n got
together in the centre of the rink and gave
their yell, ? trille faint, as none had much
breath to spare.

NEW LEAGUE PROGRESSING
Long Session of Baseball Organ?
ization Held Yesterday.
The third meeting of the Cnlted State?
\?agile was still In session at the Hotel
Imperial al S late hour last night. Pr?sl
denl Witmaii. who has been 111 at his home
in Heading for the last few days, was on
hand ami reported that the league was
progressing nicely. Since the last meeting
adjourned over two weeks ago Wltman has
been continually on th- road, looking after
the interests of th<- league.
The greater part of the meeting's time
v;?s taken up in the adoption of a sot of
by-laws Several clauses In the by-laws
war* objectionable i?. various members nnd
caused considerable argument. The New
York, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Washington.
Richmond, Reading and Plttshurg Inter?
ests had their reprt sentatlves at the meet
lng.
Th.- l.-ague had not deride?! at a late
hour last nlulit which would he the eighth
City granted a franchise. Seven ctt'es are
eaxiOUg to a?-<-uire the eighth fran?-hlse
namely Ctovslaai, Chicago. Philadelphia.
HufTalo. Baltimore, lamlsville and Newark.
TWO diff?rent parties have applications In
for the ?levcland franchise The league
will probably leave the eighth city va?
cant until the next meting, as all these
cities are offering good inducements
"W? are all decided to take In Cleve?
land. ' said President Wltman last night
"hut Buffalo Is putting up a proposition
that is hard to reject. The Buffalo In?
terests have as good financial backing as if
not better than, any cltv we have admitted
Into ?.ur circuit. It is hard to turn a city
like that down, and it seems we must find a
Place for them. It is possible that Reading

COMFORT OF CLOSED CARS
Almost Indispensable in Cities,
Especially in Winter.
Those who live in large cities ar? prob?
ably more in need of a motor car that lend?
ttself to winter use than residents of small?
er places. Weather condition?, the a I*1 s?? nee
of sleighing and the ofttimes poor condition
of the streets make the possession of a car
with an Inclosed body a constant deltgSt.
Those who have once enjoyed the comfort?
and luxuries that so with closed body typ??
are seldom satisfied with anything else. '
Winter life In the large cities, to a **re?t
extent. Is lived at night. The theatre? ar?
at such a distance from the homes of mm**
of those who patronize them that a to**?
car or limousine is a great help In getting
to and fro. When the streets are covaidl
with slush horses slip and fall, h peril that
Is overcome by the use of a motor car.
The owner of a Oarford closed body rut
Is always warm. Light and heat come frots
storage batteries and there fa no danger of
contracting cold. The uses of a town car
of the C?arford type are almost Innurrter.
able. In shopping, in going to the theatre?
and to dances and dinners such a car <*aa
be kept in constant use.
