But for no apparent reason ? whatever, as the field was rushing- to ] the first bend. Taplin took Kaahmlr ; up sharply. He took him op so ; aharply that the colt's head bobbed ; 'back almost to the Jockey's snout, j and Kashmir folded from a contend- ? ing position to a trailing one.

MCAULTFFE CHAMP OF CHAMPIONS WILL ENTERTAIN TROOPS IN FRANCE L To the younger generation of box ing fan? the mime of Jack McAullffe mean? very little. And It is not strange, as the only light-weight .'ham,;ion of the world who retired undefeated has not been MM in the ring for twenty-six years,, with the exception of a six-roundl ex hibition boxed some twenty-two years ago. In ?pite of hi? fifty-two years M? - Auliffe has decided he should do: something for his adoptfMi country in this war and has signed up with the Knight? *? Columbus for duty In, France. *. McAuNffe has changed a? much as the style of lighting ha? changed ?Ince | his day- The former 130-pounder has , put on thirty pound? or more, but his broad ?boulders and deep chest still bear witness to hie former prow ess, when men battled to a knock out with bare nut* for purse? cheap pork and beaners would laugb at to day.

Two hich spots loom out of Mc Aullffe's record, his T-t-round draw with Jem Carney, the British champion, -ind his 64-round draw with Billy Myer. It was in 19*7 that sportine men <.| New York and New ?n-rUnd ar rancad the meeting between Mc Aullffe and Carney at Revere. Mass. Th?> fight wa." for ??.G.0? a side and was to go to a finish. The men fought bare fisted.

Regrettably, newspaper illustration ha? its limitations. When a Los A'n geles bea^h resort recently held an aubuffi-hcaded chis carnival. Mis? G?raldine Gerald won readily?in fact Tithuily.

Toward the end lt( looked as thou uh Mc Au I iff** was getting: the worst of it. and a crowd of rowdies who hau bt large .-urns on Mt Aul iff e broke into the ring and ???nded the flght. which waa called a draw. It goes without say^n;; that Mc Auliffe. always a clean sportsman, had nothing to do with the affair. Perhaps the mo?t dramatic inci dent in McAuliffe's ring career oc curred at North Judson, Ind., In 18S9. McAuliffe and Billy Myer were matched to fight for the champion ship and $-.*?Wt a side. About the fortieth round McAuliffe broke his arm. but he continued fighting until the sixty-fourth, when the contest was declared a draw. McAuliffe did thia to protect his friends, who had wagered large sums on him. In 1S1-.-J McAuliffe won from Myer In fifteen rounds. The next year McAuliffe retired un defeated and Kid La vigne assumed the title, although McAuliffe did not officially announce his retirement until three year? later, when he boxed a aix-round exhibition with L-avlgne in New York. PENN PUNTERS BEING COACHED BY GREENE Philadelphia, Oct. 22. ? Kddie Greene, captain of the 1906 Red and Blue eleven and one of the best punters ever to represent the Quaker College, was on the field to day for the first time in a number of years. The acting coach is none too well pleased with hie punters, and wants one.of Penn's greatest to tutor the youths in getting distance and speed in their kicks. McNichol. Braun. Peter and Wlthington are the Penn punting candidates and took a three-hour course under Greene today.

HAVANA READY FOR HORSEMEN Racing Meet in Cuba Sched uled to Begin Thanks giving Day. New York, Oct. 22.?H. 11. Brown, president and general manager of the Oriental Park track, where rac ing i? conducted each winter for a period of some 100 days, will return to the United States from a flv ing trip to Cuba during the cornine week and will ?our the Western States to confer with horsemen who may b*? planning to race their stables in Cuba during the ap proaching racing season, scheduled to -rt^en on Thanksgiving Day, No vember 2S, and continue for 100 or more days. Manager Brown wen ? to Havana a week or two ago to look over some Important improvement.?*, that have been made during the past summer at the club's beautiful racing plant in Marlanao, a suburb of Havana. Upon his return detalla of the ar rangements for the transportation of American stable? to Quba next month will be announced. It 1? ?* pected that they will closely follow the arrancements of last season. Manager Brown having made the announcement that horsemen may count upon their being as good ? last season'?. In spite of war condi tions, and possibly better. The recent announcement of the stake and pure? program [er the Cuban season lias made a most favorable impression upon American horsemen, and indications ire not lacking that the movement of -stable? to Cuba from thi? country next month will be a record-break er. With thirteen stakes, ranging ln value from $1.200 added to $2,000 added, and many overnight purses of $.?nii to $800 daily offered by the Oriental Park management, horse men who have been in the practice of racing ln Cuba since the estab lishment of the sport there under its present auspices in 1?-1S are plan ning to return there this winter to a man, and they will be reinforced by many a newcomer. Including some Important Hastern stables whose presence will tend to improve the quality of the racing. Last winter the minimum purse value at Oriental Park was |400. During the approaching season there will be no pump of less than $500, Manager Brown having de cided upon this substantial increase both on account of the growing im portance of Cuban racing and to en able the horsemen who take part In the meeting to meet tbe increased expenses of transportation and other mounting costs of maintaining a racing stable growing out of the world war. FOLWELL OUT FOR SEASON. Philadelphia. Oct. 22.?Bob Fol well. Penn's football coach. who wa? stricken with influenza ?ome time ago, is believed to be out of the game for the remainder of the season. Immediately after Folwell had re covered sufficiently he went to hf? sister'? home in ?Lansdown*-. Ha suffered a relapse, and for a time It was thought that the pneumonia which set In would be fatal. Folwell rallied, however, but his ?condition Is such now that his physicians do not believe he will be able to resume active duties at Penn again this season. It i? thought that "Big Bill" Hol lenback will continue with Folwell'? duties, as the former Penn star has been coaching in the regular men tor'? absence. Hollenback will take hold in earnest as soon aa tt is definitely known that Folwell will not return. He has been reluctant to make any radical changes while under the belief that the regular coach might return. * SERVICEWILL FURNISH STORY Ball Players to Come from Army After Big Hos tilities F?nd. The war ha? broug-ht many changes In American Institutions but it 1? doubtful if baseball magnate? In the past would have thought of looking to the army for diamond recruit?. Such is the case at present, how ever, and It I? not unlikely that after the close of hostilities many youths who have worn the khaki of Uncle Sam win change for the uniform? of the major league clubs. Reports from prominent l>asebalt men now serving oversea? are that there are plenty of young men. play ing the game behind the lift es in their spare hours, who are worthy of a trial with the big clubs. In fact ?everal have urg?ed their former managers to come over or send a scout across lo see the type of man who is being uncovered in these games which many times are played ! within sound of heavy guns. j They are superbi > train?0??', fiom a physical standpoint. and hardie themselves, both at bat and in th? field with the perfect confidence and ?poise which alone coimes from er j cellent condition and discipline. While [ but a few are at present qualified J to enter hi?? league plav there ar? 1 ?cores, according to the reports, who are right now better prosp >ct.-? than . the ?averase minor league? of recent ? seasons. A few weeks drilling under ? the eye of an experienced baseball coach with some instruction in llh?i finer points of mdlvid Ml and te:,m play some of the soldiers may have the makings of Ty Cobbs, Hans Wag ner? and other heroes of the dia mond. ? In addition to attaining fine physi cal condition every man ha? learned the leason of . instant and explicit obedience to commands, an well a.? the necessity for team work in the complete sense of the word. Given this groundwork in addition to the ' natural liking of the American youth for sport competition and W? adaptability It can ba\ seen there will ? be a new and splendid field for the recruiting of baaeball players after the war. Teams composed to a 'great extent, of young men who did not hesitate to gc* half* way round the world to flght foi the honor of their 'country would -ir? far toward re ?tor i ? e ? he popularity of profes sional baseball. y Seventy-eight thousand Ameri can soldiei s weie f^d in our monti I at on?; lt*-d Cross ? anteen near th? j front.

Not one game of the originai schedule i? to be played. As can be seen, all but one of the Midshipmen'? opponent? will be ?erv ice team?, and the effort to secure the unquestioned supremacy among? them will be a sufficient guarantee of the interest which will be taken in the playing of tbe ?chedule. But one college game appears on the Hat, stnd it is not certain as to what teams will fill the two open dates?whether college teams or service aggregati one. T'ndoubtedly the Midshipmen would like to stand at the top in the serv ice and then try conclusion? with the strongest of the college team? of the East. But the college team? have shown no desire to play at Annapolis this year. Of the games now scheduled, the greatest Interest is taken in that against the eleven of the Great Irak?s Training Station. The station is re- i ported to be wild with interest in I the game. There are over G.-00 candi- j dates for the teams and more than ? thirty teams. The management pro- j posed to play thr Midshipmen in, Annapolis on November 23, and to have a return ?ame in Chicago on Thanksgiving Pay. The first game ' ha? been settled, being in no way dependent upon a return game. The management fears that official per mission to play in Chicago cannot be obtained. It may be ?aid. however, that while the Naval Academy authorities con not take any steps to secure permls sioon for the souad to take the trip to Chicago, certain powerful In fluences are at work to ?ecure the game, and many arguments are used in it? favor.
