Driftwood Blaze Repeats at Horse Show?Harvard May Play Columbia Here Tandem Class Honors for Miss Wanamaker I've and Netherhall's Pride * Outshine W. H.

Long ag? we -earned that ail oquines i srenot called horse* nor do you always ! ?fer to tnem ni' "ne" fney do not ?run" i? the roadster classes and they rlo not "prance" in the saddle classes. But this new reporteress knew none I of these things.

That was one ques? tion that we could not answer. Prob? ably no one could. n this particular class was some wonderful muterial and one was apt to m? enthusiastic, even if one were no longer in the novice clas?. \\ e are not "Wst, there was Mrs. Walter Hanley, on Driftwood Blaze, which was last viar's ehamnion at the show. This is tit first time Blu/e has appeared at \W ehqw and he was in wonderful ?edition. He had to be good to beat Cherrystone, the big Fading which SI?s Isabella Wanamaker bought from Jnepb Collins last season. The third choice lell on Mrs. Charles ! M Allaire's chestnut Ministre!, and j while he is a good looking gelding, with plenty of substance, he is such a dif? ferent type from the first two ribbon i winners that the rail-birds were rather surprised at the third choice of the Louise Beavor-Webb rode John Bow? men's Hurry, the chestnut gelding, which won with his owner up on Mon ii?y. But an H- C, in buch company was equivilant to a blue in most classes, and so Hurry waa not in the ?east disheartened. Other aspirants in the class were Miss'Clara S. Peck, with Winona, a list bav mare; Mrs. A. J. Lindsay, with Nancy IJright, and Mrs. James T. Schweiger, with Aloha. Also among the entrants were Mae Marsh, Louise Huff and Oh Boy. A Pretty Competition The tandem class was one of the prettiest competitions we have seen in Borne time. Miss Isabella Wanamaker handled Eve and Netherhall's Pride and we al? most wished there were four of them, if only that we might have the pleas? ure of seeing Miss Wanamaker hold the ribbons over them. Evo was" in the lead and the little mare is all quality and style. She is p. perfect leader. Netherhall's .Pride is ilso, Miss Wanamaker'a pride. He has Mibstance and dignity and is a splen? did foil to his more volatile companion. Ceorpe Chinchase sat behind William 11. Uten .-'s Whitehall Ariel and Rae torn ami he drove the splendid pair '?rr.ll they were worth. They put up s splendid performance, but could not rtlipse Eve and her mate. Third choice fell on Rainbow and Topper, with Barry in the driver's scat. George Watson owns them both. Top? per, which was in the lead, was bred by Watson, and Rainbow, the wheeler, is from the .stable of Walter Hanley. The white ribbon went to Lawrence Smith's Hamilton Star and Fairy Tread, with Frank Winterbottom at the helm. It was one of the most interesting elasscs of the day. The ponies under saddle brought out some good material. One of the con- I ?iitions of the elnss was that "each pony : aast be provided with a rider and the riders must bo neatly and suitably dressed." AH we can say is that the riders fulfilled all of the requirements. The two little Regan girls, Constance Md Jean, rodo Bantamite and Joy, and they were like little fashion plates in weir gray riding habits. Jimmie pehweigle rode Fire Light Bounce for Corinne Pot'.i, and every ono knows _hat Jhamie's sartorial effects always ??ve been the despair of all imitators. Bounce won over Bantamite, who took' ?blue in a similar class on Monday.

George Smith Breaks Record At Pimlico Son of Out of Reach Captures Bowie Handicap?Omar Khayyam Second BALTIMORE, Nov. 12.?George Smith topped off the racing season of 1918 with a brilliant victory in the historic Bowie Handicap at the Pimlico track to-day. The big black son of Out of Reach ran the best race of his career and joined the first division of thor? oughbreds when he carried 130 pound: and easily ran the mile and a half course in the new track record time of 2:811-5, smashing the old mark hung up by Westy llogan when he won this event with 120 pounds last year. Omar Khayyam, with his nose on a line with (ho hip of the winner, was second. Exterminator was third, half a length away. It was by long odds the best race of the fall meeting and a fitting climax to the fag end of the season. The race had a total value of $12,100. George Smith received $8,000; Omar Khayyam, $2,000; Ex? terminator, $1,000, and Coin Tassel, which finished fourth, ?-600. Fifteen horses tool; wart in the strug? gle, the biggest fiel'l numerically of the year. All the best horses of Amer? ica were entered eyci.pt Cudgel, RoBm er, Johren and Old Rosebud. George Smith had to be first class in order to win. Twice he was severely interfered with during tho running. Rounding the clubhouse turn at the end of five furlongs, he wns knocked back to next to last place. Robinson, wno had been trying to hug the rail position, then steered the big black horse to the outside, where he had a free path. The Porter was clipping off a fast pr.ee, but George Smith gradually picked up the horses in front of him as the field dashed down the backstretch. Just when Ex? terminator shot to the front on the turn out of the backstretch, George Smith electrified the spectators by fair? ly running rings around his oppo? nents. Ho dashed into the lead and opened up four lengths. Exterminator tried to catch him and failed. Omar Khayyam then came with a rush. He closed up, but Robin#or., realizing George Smith was racing strong and had a safe lead, sat still and permitted the black stallion to win easily on I1?3 own courage. Omar Khayyam just got up in time to beet out Exterminator by saddle girths. It was the first time in the history of the American turf where three winners of the Kentucky Derby have fought out the finish of a big stake between them. George Smith won the Derby in 1916, Omar Khayyam in 1917 and Extermina? tor in 1918. Omar Khayyam was favor its for this event last year. Recently he has been beaten so repeatedly by selling platers that be was bunched with the also ran division and sold in the mutuels as "the field." The Brook won the United Hunts double event steeplechase, worth ?'-. C00 and a silver cup worth $600. Ho raced head and head with Bet until the last jump, when she fell. He then beat out W. F. Knebelkamp,' the other starter, by eight lengths. Keating, the rider of Bet, wa? stunned by the fall. Johnny Loftus has signed to ride fer the Glen Riddle stable next year, and has given second call to Commander J. K. L. Ross. He receives big retain? ing fees from both men. Aeroplane Battle Over Polo Grounds Saturday An aerial battle, involving three squadrons of United States Army uir craft, eighty-four airplanes, will bo "fought" above the Polo Grounds on Saturday as the added attraction of the Princeton University-Camp Upton football game, to bo played for tho benefit of the United War Work Cam? paign. Major-General J. Franklin Bell, for? merly camp commander of Upton, and Colonel Sloan, tho present comman? dant, and Rear-Admiral Caspar F. Good? rich are the prominent Army and Navy officers expected to lead the cheering. From Princeton comes word thut Keene Fitzpatrick, the coach, has his war? time Tigers tuned up, while fvom Yap hank is hurled the reply that Captain Dan Hurley has an eleven which will be hard to beat. Jack Dempsey Ready to Box AnyOneatBig Garden Show By Fred Hawthorne Just because the canning season has ! closed in Germany and the Kaiser is ! in a pickle, don't imagine, Aunt Eleanor I Ann, that volunteers arc not still | wanted. If you have any husky friends i who know how to use their hands bet tor than their brains, and who are I not fussy about what they do with I their lives, just toll them to send their j names and addresses to "Sunshine" Jim Coffroth, chairman of the boxing committee of the National Sports Di? vision at GO Vandcrbilt Avenue. Any such person who desires to en? list, will get a chance to light, and Mr. Coffroth will guarantee that there will be no lack of action. There is a perfectly good chance to lose a few j teeth and consciousness and to be deco? rated with a black eye and a bloody j nose. What more could a patriot de- i ;?re, if he is after glory? Yesterday Coffroth and Charley Har- I voy, local chairman of the United War : Work campaign's boxing carnival at \ the Garden in Saturday "ight, were as- ? sured by Dempsey that he is willing ? to meet any boxer in the world on that j occasion, and that the tougher they j come the better it will please brother ! Jack. Dempsey has adopted for his ring motto that well-known slogan of I the tank corpr.. "Treat 'em rough!" and Fred Fulton and Battling Lcvinsky, r Jack's most recent victims, are ready to testify that his translation of tho I motto is a literal one. ? All races, creeds and colors look alike ; to Dempsey, In his daft, so there will j y<rf>b:ih!y be a long black and white, line waiting outside Jack's dressing room at the Garden next Saturday ' When Benny-Leonard and Jack Brit ton start their six-round battle at the Garden they wili have the satisfaction 1 of being "refered" by the world's roost i immaculate dresser in tho ring. Wo take pleasure, on this most AUSPICI- | i OUS occasion, Aunt Eleanor Ann, in presenting to you James J. Corbctt former heavyweight champion of the I 1 world, who will act as tho third man j ?n tie. ring when Benny und John start j to ">rk altering one another's maps.

Beginning Saturday morning, at ! 11:30 o'clock, the editor/and sole pro? prietor of this column will receive suggestions from its militant army of , readers as to just what is the best ; thing to do with Billy HoHUNzollern, the well known German, who is now "in Dutch" as an uninvited guest of ? Queen Wilhclmina of Holland. It is requested that all suggestions ' be limited to one hundred words, and that due regard be paid to the fact j that this is a family newspaper. ', Otherwise tho sky is the limit. Lot i ?er go! Always to the forefront in all patri- I otic movements, Aunt Eleanor Ann has ' sent in her suggestion by a mounted : courier. It is as follows: "Tie Willie's '. good arm behind his back and then i dress him in a prickly heat union ! suit, to be knitted by the female of the j species." I The editor himself, in order to help : along this G-R-E-A-T event, offers the ! following solution of the problem: "Make the ex-Kaiser spend all his summers on Barren Island, with gas I masks barred." Help it along, lads, H-E-L-P! The sports committee of the United i War Work Campaign is anxious to as-1 certain the exact amount of revenue the sporting world raises in the pros- i ent campaign. It has sent out word to every person , arid organization promoting sporting activities in behalf of the drive that the money should be turned over to? local campaign authorities, and that a report of the amount thus raised I should be forwarded to the eports com- j mittee. In order that the sporting world's responso to this call ma'y be definitely put down in dollars and cents, the committee now urges that a statement of the money obtained from each event be sent as soon as possible to Julian W. Curtiss, treasurer of the National Sports Committee. HO Vanderbilt Ave? nue, New York City. Don't send the money?send a state- i I ment. I Twelve Holes Halved in Par ?McNamara Has Best Individual Score A spirited four-ball professional golf I match was played over the St. Andrews ' Golf Cluh course, near Mount Hope, i yesterday afternoon, in which Tom Kerrigan and Tom McNamara, of j Siwanoy, defeated George Thompson, Mount Vernon Country Club, and Elija Hortoti. St. Andrews, by the score of 2 up, with a be?t ball of 71 to 73. No less than twelve of tho holes were halved in par. Four of tho other ? six were won in one stroke under par. and the other two in par. Tom Mc? Namara had the best individual score j of 88?37?75, with two holes of 2 each to his credit, although he also had ? his bad luck, as he took a 0 on the seventh hole, which was halved in 4 and a o 09 the ninth hole, which was won in the par of 5. Thompson and Ilorton teamed up well together, and had a trifle the best 1 of the outward jounrey, leading by 1 up at the turn. After halving the first two holes in par, Thompson got a "birdie" at the third hole and his side retained the iead up to the eighth hole, where McNamara ran down a twenty foot putt l'or a 2, all the other holes being halved in par. The eighth is a short hole of 150 yards, surrounded by a brook on the approach, a marshy ditch in tho rear, and deep sand traps on the sides. Thompson's tee shot dropped into the brook guarding the green and he picked up. Kerrigan overran the green and took 3 for the hole. Horton landed on the irreeii within three feet of the cup, while McNamara held the green, but was twenty feet away. Everybody regarded it as an easy hole in 2 for Horton, but when McNamara sunk his long putt, it. completely upset Horton, who missed his short putt. This squared the match, but Thomp? son took the lead again by winning the ninth hole in par, the other three each taking ? After halving the tenth hole of 581 yards in 5, McNamara gave his opponents another shock by win? ning the eleventh ucle with another sensational 2, which again squared the match, and incidently shattered the nerves of Horton and Thompson, who though perfect in their long game, were practically useless on the putting green. - But Thompson did succeed in sinking a large putt on the sixteenth irriten for a half in par. After the twelfth hole was halved in par by all hands, Kerri? gan and McNamara won the thirteenth hole of 397 yards, 4 to 5, both Thomp? son and Horton missing their putts for a half in rar. This gave Kerrigan and McNamara the lead by 1 up, which they main? tained, as the next four holes were halved in par. Playing the eighteenth hole of 224 yards, from the brow of one hill to the top of another, Kerrigan was the only one of the four who drove on to the green, although the other three were not far from the edge, Hor? ton and McNamara being close enough to run it up with their putters. They were all down in the par of 4 but Kerrigan, who did not play his second shot until they had ajll holed out. Then in a triumphant manner he lay his second shot dead to the hole and dropped it into the cup for s "birdio" 3, which incidentally gave his side tho match by 2 up. * - The best ball scores ?ere: Kerrijui ind MrNiBnra.,4 t 4 4 \ 4 4 ?

Al? though the many times champion failed ; to hit his strido until late in the sea? son, he led his other rivals with a per? centage of MS2, which was one point lower than his last year's mark. While Cobb did not register tho greatest number of hita (161), bis all i around ability was conspicuous He ] went to bat 4:11 times, scored S3 times himself, and drove out three home runs, Burns, of Philadelphia, leads with Hits, 178, and has a batting average o.( .352. : Then follow George Sisler, St. Louis, with .341, and Tris Speaker, Cleve? land, .319. The withdrawal of l.iany prominent players for service, abroad and war work in this country is responsible for the fact that only thirteen are in the .300 batting circle. However, some of these took part in comparatively few carnes, in comparison to those players mentioned above. The Boston Red Sox, world cham? pions, could only get one representative in this group. This was Babe Ruth, who compilod a percentage of .300. Wally Pipp, the Yankee first baseman, was the only member of his team to finish well up, hitting the ball for .304, to finish eleventh in the standing. | Cleveland displaces Detroit in tho i team batting, with an average of .261. St. Louis follows with .259. Washing ! ton is third with .25??. In the matter ; of hits collected, Washington leads with 1,143. Cleveland and New York are tied for second with 1,083 each. What will bo surprising to many fans ? will be the fact that Babo Ruth did not I have a clear title to the home run ?honors. He poled out eleven circuit ? hits during the season, but Walker, of j tho Athletics, collected the same num? ber of circuit clouts. !

The programme is a long one, with the other outstanding feat? ure being the match one-mile relay race between Loughlin Lyceum and Knights of St. An? tony.

To-morrow Pono1 . will endeavor to start practice go again, a? there has been no footl ! since Saturday and there are m; ] weaknesses to be eliminated. Harvard has lost one of its I l tackles in Crudup, who pulled shoul j ligaments in the Tufts game. The ba i field will bo shifted, and probably ! Manmun, formerly of Exeter and S) j cersburg, who has been playing tac ! wiil be taken behind the line. ; Manmun is tall, and Harvard ne more height in the baekfield for fen se against forward passes. Polo Grounds Would Be Scene Of Big Game Thanksgiving Day and Nov. 30 Possible Dates ?Re? ceipts for War Work By Charles A. Taylor New Yorkers may yet have the op? portunity to see a real college foot? ball game. Negotiations are in pro? gress between the Harvard manage ment anil Graduate Manager Tyson ot Columbia for u contest between the two elevens at the Polo Grounds either on Thanksgiving Day or Saturday. November 30. It appeared settled " few days ago that these teams would meet this coming1 Saturday on Soldiers' Field, Cnmbridire. but it was fourni that the Harvard field had been en. framed for that day, so the dickering for a Rame here was begun. A contest between Harvard and Columbia would doubtless prove tho biggest drawing caru of the treason so far ad New York is concerned. It has been fairly well determined that contests between service ttams or be? tween a service combination and a col? lege eleven do not appeal to the foot ball public hero. Tho Crimson and the Blue and White, on the other ham? would doubtless attract a larife crowd and the United War Work Campaign Fund, to which the receipts would lx given, would profit handsomely. It is many, many years aince a Hor vard eleven has visited this city, ami never ha.* the Crimson met a local col? lege team on the gridiron here. Thi? season, for more reasons than on?', would Eeem to he the logical timo for such a game. The two teams appear evenly matched, although Columbia has had the benefit of playing moi'' games than Harvard The lllue aiio' White has so far defeated Camp Mer ritt, Amherst and Union, while Ute Crimson has won its one con'e6t -thr.' with Tufts, played last Saturday. Cornell Also on Slate Graduate Manager Tyson and the United War Work Committee in an en? deavor to assure the New York public of at leant one big college football game liavo also opened negotiations with Cot nell, Brown and Syracuse. Cornell is already tentatively on the Columbia schedule for November ?JO, but the dato has not yet bren clinched. In any ever.' it seems certain that some college team which can be counted on to gi\i' the men who have been so ably COacned by Fred Dawson n real battle will be seen in action at tho Polo Grounds. The Columbia squad will be obliged to get along without tho services o< Dawson this we*k, as he has been 01 dercd by his physician to go to Atlantic City to recuperate from tho severe at? tack of the influenza from which, ho has been suffering. In his absence Tom Thorp will take the reins.
