NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—The an-
nouncement that racing in this state
would come to Rn end August 31 at
Saratoga will enable horsemen to lay
plans for the fall and winter earlier
thnn ever before. Already It appears
that there will bo continuous racing
outside of New York state, yet -within
easy reach of the local tracks, where
hundreds of horses are stabled. When
Saratoga winds up it is probable that
Fort Erie, across the border from Buf
falo, will open for Tsix days. Mon
treal's Blue Bonnets course will follow
with seven days from September 10 to
September 17, after which in addition
to other meetings in Canada, the new
Marlboro track in Maryland will open
a week later for a session of twenty
days. Pimlieo la booked for a fall
meeting early in October—in fact,
earlier than usual—while the Kentucky
tracks at Louisville, Latonia and Lex
ington will provide plenty of sport.
The curtailment of the eastern season
probably means that the winter meet-
Ings will begin sooner than usual.
Juarez, Mexico, has planned a meet-
Jn\£ of 100 days beginning early in No
vember, and Oakland has sent out a
notice to horsemen that the sport will
begin there on November 12, to run
probably until April 1. Jacksonville,
too, will have a long season, opening
about the middle of November and ex
tending until some time in March.
Jamestown, Va., Is expected to fill in
the time bet\ .-en the close of Plmlk-o
and the opening of the winter cam
paigns, although the promoter of that
enterprise has not made known his
plans. When the Jamestown spring
meeting closed a loss was recorded,
but it was said at the time that an
other meetin<* would be held about No
vember 15. Los Angeles may also be
on the raclfTg map again.
ra« in<; in plkntt
Although the New York tracks will
be closed after this month. It can be
seen there'll be plenty of racing else
where, which the country will thrive
as usual. As P. J. Dwyer put it the
other day: •
"This anti-race track legislation has
helped the' poolrooms instead of sup
pressing them. The tracks have lost
hundreds of patrons because of the
restrictions placed on betting. While
it has been impossible to wager cash,
or record transactions inside of the
tracks, persons have been able to bet
their heads off in the rooms. It stands
to reason that a man prefers to save
his price of admission to a race track
where it is hard to make a bet if he
can enter a room for nothing and
wager as much as he pleases. Sup
pressing poolrooms is a difficult mat
ter, because of a lack of evidence,
while race tracks have JSeen made a
mark for the enforcement of the law.
The New York tracks two years ago
were able to spend money in keeping
back the information from the rooms
and thereby reduced outside specula
tion to a minimum, but under pres
ent conditions betting has become
more widespread than ever before,
even though the tracks in this state
mus| close their gates. As long as
there is rating anywhere the rooms
can do business. As far as I can see
the new laws about to go Into effect
will do more harm than good."
It seems to be accepted as a fact
that Sheeps iead Bay, Gravesend and
Brighton Beach will never race again.
The property owned by these associa
tions is valuable for real estate pur
poses and may be cut up into building
1-is in the near future. If racing is
resumed next year, therefore, it is
predicted that Aqueduct, Belmont
Park, Jamaica, Empire City and Sar
atoga will monopolize the time between
April 15 and November 16.

BOWLING TOURNEY TO
BE HELD AT BUFFALO
Ideal Situation for Next Congress
Will Bring Out a Great
Crowd of Fans
BUFFALO, Aug. 12.—1f half the. rosy
predictions as to the success of Buf
falo's big National Bowling- associa
tion tournament to be held here next
February and March comes true this
city's name will go down in bowling
history as the place of the greatest
convention of bowlers ever known. Ev
ery day, even this early in the season,
reports come to Manager John Floss
of activity of bowlers in other cities,
making preparations for attending the
btg Buffalo meeting. In many of the
towns the bowlers have organized
into clubs, anct by making a small pay
ment Into a common fund each week
will find a sum sufficient to defray
all expenses by the time February
rolls around.
Sam Karpf, for over 20 years secre
tary of the American Bowling con
gress and a man who has had more
experience in conducting , bowling
tournaments than any other man living,
was in Buffalo recently and in a talk
with John Floss predicted that the
Buffalo tourney woulud be the great
est the world has known.
"Buffalo is ideally situated for this
tourney," • said Mr. Karpf. "Three
quarters of the population of the Unit
ed States are within ten hours' ride
and you will have the added attrac
tion of nearness to Niagara Falls.
Thousands of those who will come to
the tournament will be attracted al-
most as much by the falls as by the
tourney. Every one has seen the falls
in summer, but every one will want
to see the famous ice bridge and win
ter scenery."
Mr. Karpf was enthusiastic over the
plans shown him by Manager Floss.
He declared them the mtist complete
and elaborate ever prepared for a
bowling tournament. He said every
bowler would be delighted with the
layout and would sing- Buffalo's praises
ever after.
"Buffalo has the name of being a
great bowling city, and its reputation
will be greater," declared Mr. Karpf.
"I have been visiting several large
cities during the past two weeks and
the bowlers are talking of the tour
nament already. My home town of
Dayton, 0., will send at least five flve
'men teams and lots of little towns in
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois will do
the same.
"The American Bowling congress
cities will bp as largely represented at
the National Bowling association. This
is because of Buffalo's central location.
The Canadians, too. will come in large
numbers, and I am willing to go on
record that Buffalo's attendance fig
ures will be greater than any ever
recorded at a bowling tournament."
This from a man so thoroughly in
touch with the bowling world and its
sentiments was pleasing to Manager
Floss and the Buffalo men behind the
big venture. It is seldom that, a big
is a financial success, but
the local people anticipate they will
pull out of the venture at a profit. In
the plans a place is left for many
booths and concessions about the body
of the hall, and these are expected to
yield a revenue sufficient to put a
balance on the right side of the
ledger.
A QUEER NOTION
"Some girls have queer notions."
"That's no empty dream."
"I almost eloped with the daughter
o a millionaire once, but she refused
at the last moment to run away with
me unless she could have a chaperon."
ON THE WRONG SIDE
"I once know a man." remarked the Ob-
Bervfr of Evi>nt* and Thing*, "who thought
he wan alwiiys on the right Ride of thins*
until on* day ho got on the wrong ski.' of a
row and tried to milk her."—Yonkem States

UNUSUAL PLAYS HOLD
BALL FANS' ATTENTION
Triple Steal Occurs for Fourth
Time in History of the
Big Leagues
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Unusual
games and freak plays are among the
thing's that make baseball popular. The
true fan will miss his meals for any
sort of a ball game, but let him see a
freak play that only occurs three or
four times in many years and no ties
of love or friendship, duty, home or
family will separate him from a con
genial listener until he has talked it
out of his system. Tell the veteran fan
a baseball yarn and then listen for his
swift and generous appreciation.
"Huh," he will remark, "I saw a play
made in '99 that was some play. The
bases were full and"—he's off. It
doesn't make the slightest difference
whether you listen patiently or whether
you do not. If you go away he'll tell
it to himself.
The present year in the major leagues
abounds in baseball sensations. Since
the season opened there have been two
no-hit games. There were six no-hit
games in 1908. In that year Joss of
Cleveland, pitching against Chicago
October 2, did not allow a man to reach
first base. Last year, April 18, when
the season opened in New York, Red
Ames held Brooklyn hitless for nine in
nings, but they beat him in the un
lucky thirteenth.
Five one-hit games have taken place
this year. There were sixteen in 1599.
The Philadelphia National league
team has worked the triple steal—a feat
performed but three times before In the
history of big league ball. It was in
the Philadelphia-Cincinnati game on
the Reds' ground May 10. Bransfleld,
Magee and Grant were the principals,
and they started the steal while
Fromme was winding up. Grant scored
by sliding under the throw, and the
other two moved up one station on the
play.
The three other occasions when the
play was successful, with the names of
the players concerned, were as follows:
September 26, 1905—St. Louis-Ath
letics game; Padden, Sugden and Bur
kett. «
April 27, 1908—Athletics-Washington
game; Davis, Coombs and Oldring.
April 26, 1909 —BoMon-Athletics game;
Lord, Speaker and Gessler.
Several triple play are on the scorers'
records for 1910. In fact, thus far it
has been a very busy year.
SANTA BARBARA AWAITS
GOLF AND YACHT WEEK
Large Entry List Expected in
Channel City Schedule and
Sports Are Enthusiastic
From August 13 to 19 Santa Barbara will be
the cynosure of all yachting eyes on the Pa
cltle coast, and of the golf enthusiasts as well.
Either even scheduled for that time would bo
sufficiently Important to insure coast wide at
tention, but the combination of the two places
the week's program In a class by itself.
The race from San Pedro to this port will
bo the opening of the largest regatta ever held
on the south coast. Over twenty boats have
male entry already,-and at least ten more are
expected. This will offer ample material for
all of the raeee, and each event should have
a well filled entry Hat.
The first raclns in' the Santa Barbara chan
nel will be Tuesday. August 19. the date of
the. close lit the Bolt tournament, which opens
on the Saturday previous.
Just now the Santa Barbara yachtsmen are
jubilant. They have a boat that will not alune
be a credit to Santa Rarbara Yacht club, but
one, if the opinions of the experts who have
.seen her are to be taken seriously, that will
be the strongest contender against the fast
boats of the South Coast club. With Don
Leach, her skipper, Roinis to San Pedro iti a
few days to supervise the finishing touches,
and with the remainder of the crew, which
will be Bid Oourley John Edwards, and her
designer, (.'allahmi, the local yachtsmen are
content to await the regatta and watch the
Alert cover Itself with glory.
The cream of the California golfers will be
present in the golfing event, anil the play will
be of the highest class. The bin event of the
tournament will be. the handicap for men for
the club elup. This will be over thirty-Hlx
holes and will be enforced by the champions
of nearly every club on the coast.
THE CHEAPEST WAY
A Scotchman and his wife were com
ing from Leith to London by boat.
When off the Yorkshire coast a great
storm arose and the vessel had several
narrow escapes from foundering.
"O, Sandy," moaned his wife, "I'm
na afeared o' deem', but I dinna care
to dee at sea."
"Dinna think o' deem' yete." an
swered Sandy, "but when ye do, ye'd
better be drooned at sea than anywhere
else."
"An" why, Sandy?" asked his wife.

NEW RULES BRING
COACH PROBLEMS
Many Perplexing Knots Are Being
bly at Harvard
FORWARD PASS IS A FEATURE
Open Formation Will Be the Rule,
and Quarterback Will
Lose Position
NEW rOBK, Aug. 12.— H. R. U<it<r. ;
the former Princeton player anil Wei
leyan coach, Bays concerning the new
football:
■■While the football world is await
ing the final codification of the new
rules there are gathered at the Har
vard summer school of physical educa
tion coaches, athletic directors, gym- j
naslum directors and students. All i
these classes are represented In the j
football work which Is being done un- ;
der the .supervision of Dr. Bargent,
The course comprises men from Har
vard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Wiscon
sin, University of California, Am
herst, Wesleyan, Springfield training
school, Bowdoln, Maine, University of
Texas, University of Vermont, Ohio,
University of Alabama, University of
North Dakota, Middlebury, Lawrence
ville, Jrfercerßburg and various schools
throughout the country.
"The greater part of these men have
had experience in coaching, and com- i
ing from all sections of the country |
they make the hour devoted to the j
theory and practice of football each
day a clearing house for the interpre
tation of rules and the possibilities of
the new game.
"Particular attention's being placed
on the possibilities of the new rules.
For the coming fall coaches will have I
to consider the following new elements
in respect to the offense:
"First, that tne player receiving the
ball from the snapperback may cross
V j line of scrimmage at any point as
(ppoted to the old rule of the neces-|
slty of running five yards out before
crossing the scrimmage line. This rule
will place a premium on heavy quar
terbacks,, should they assume the po
sition behind the snapperback. Under
the ne wrules the push and pull game
is dead, and the men to be of any ef
ficiency must be ahead of the man
weight as well as speed in the quar
terback.
."We have been experimenting with
the quarterback as a regular halfback
—that is, having the four backs In a
line, four yards back and using the
direct pass from center. This arrange
ment has met with much favor. An
other argument for dispensing with the
quarterback is the fact that he must
make a forward pass at least five yards
back of the scrimmage line. Thus the
short pass over the scrimmage line is
done away with. Thiß ruling will open
up the play from a spectacular point of
view.
"The second consideration with re
gard to the offense is the restriction
placed upon the offensive side in not
being allowed to touch a kicked ball
within the 20-yard zone or within a
space twenty yards from the spot
where the ball was put in play. This
ruling relates only to men who were
offside and does not include men who
were kicked. The object of this rule
is to prevent the scramble and rough
ness possible under the rule of last year
and to-encourage forward passiig under
the new rules.
"This means that the only alternative
of the offense on a bounding ball in
the 20-yard zone is that the men on the
offence must wait for an opponent to
touch the ball, or follow it -up and
watch the opportunity to fall upon it
after it has passed the 20-yard zone.
"The third consideration relating to
the offense is without doubt the most
important innovation that has ever
been made in football, that concerning
the forward pass, which must be made
at least five yards back of the scrim
mage line to any of the backfield men
who are at least one yard back from
the scrimmage line at the time the ball
is snapped, or to either of the men on
the ends of the line. This rule does not
prevent an end from shifting and al
lowing the tackle to receive the ball.
"A number of perplexing questions
have arisen in connection with the
forward pass, one of which is: Does
a forward pass to be legal have to
cross the line of scrimmage? As a
practical demonstration, suppose Yale
shifts all her men on the left side
of her center to her right side, can
the center snap the ball to any one
of his backs and immediately receive
it before crossing the scrimmage line?
Would the first man who received the
ball from the center have to be five
yards oack before passing the ball to
center If the center received the ball
on his side of the scrimmage line.
"A new ruling before the committee
this year in relation to an ineomplet
ed forward pass is that on first and
second down there is a loss of a down
from the spot where the ball was put
in play and not from the spot from
which the pass was made. No distance
penalty is added, nsiias the case last
year. On third dowVi, if an lncom
pleted forward pass results thr ball
goes to the opponents not on the spot
where the bnll was put in play, hut
from which the pass was made. This
ruling with tho allowance of the for
ward pass over the line of scrimmage
provided the pass was made at letst
five yards back of the scrimmage line
opens up a rich field of possibilities
to the strategist.
"One of the most fertile suggestions
worked out Ls the directing or tlie in
terference ahead Of the man with the
ball in one direction and the passing
of the ball to an end or halfback in
the opposite.
"In the execution of this forward
pass the spiral throw on a line the
shortest distance between the passer
and receiver has been found to be
the most satisfactory. The underhand
pass and the high throw have been
found wanting. The inference is that |
a premium will be placed upon tall,
rangy men in receiving and fast, ac
curate men in passing the ball.
"A defensive problem the coach must
think out is how to arrange his men
to meet a line plur.ging game and at
the same time to meet a forward pass
ing game and the onside kicks. One
way out of the difficulty has been
worked out In the summer school; In
stead of having one stationary de
fense, adopt a variable system to meet
tlic circumstances of the attack. An
other consideration in relation to the
defense is how to handle the offensive
end on a punt. Under the old ruling
an end alone or an end and a half
back could harass the opposing end
as soon as the ball was snapped. Un
der the new legislation he cannot be
touched in the twenty-yard zone,
are three alternatives open. The
first in to block him before he crosses
the scrimmage line, the second is to
let him go free and follow until the
twenty-yard zone Is reached. The last
is to play a respectable distance back

A CHINESE BURGLAR
The first Chinese aeronaut has marie
his appearance and probably it will
not be long before others attempt to
excel the feat of the pioneer. Thia
man had not made the idea of the
conqueit of the air his hobby, but
he had probably seen the descent by
Ivy Baldwin's representative in a par
achute, and had thus recognised an
other means of eluding: the police. He
gained entrance to the second floor
of a house in Temple street, Yaumati,
and was engaged in gathering all the
valuables he could lay hands on when
a woman entered the room. She
screamed for help, but the thief did not
wait for his arrival.
Opening a large Chinese umbrella
he leaped over the veranda and, ac
cording to the woman, landed lightly
on the ground, and jumped over the
praya wall into the harbor. The po
lice were early on the scene, but the
thief was not caught.—Hongkong cor

"First—That the season of necessity

should be the first to protest at their
removal. These two elements give the

LARGE ENTRY LIST
FOR A.A.U MEET
National Championship Track
Meet Will Be Lodestone
for Athletes
WEST HAS ABLE ENTRANTS
Rose, Plaw and Scott, Record
Holders in weights and Vault,
Will Be Competitors
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.— The national
championship meeting of the Amateur
Athletic union to be held In New Or
leans in October promises to surpass
all previous meets. Most of the prom
inent athletic clubs in the country have
signified their intention of sending
teams.
The Olympic club of San Francisco
will send Rose, Flaw, Edwards, Miller,
Snedigar, Gerhardt and in all proba
bility Scott, the Stanford pole vaulter.
Edwards defeated Forrest Smithson at
the Portola festival carnival in San
Francisco last October, winning the
120-yard high hurdles in :15 1-5. Re
ports from Tom Carroll, the old-time
weight thrower, state that Al Flaw is
consistently throwing the 16-pound
hammer 175 feet. Ralph Rose is al
ways good enough to win the shot,
and if necessary will establish new
world's record to do so. Snedigar is a
reliable broad Jumper, having occa
sionally gone over twenty-three feet.
Miller, the ex-Stanford college half
miler, is capable of 1:56 or better.
Scott is the holder of the world's rec
ord in vaulting. This spring ho
cleared nearly thirteen feet, and Ger
hardt, the veteran sprinter, is gener
ally good for even time in the 100
yards.
Tlte Seattle Athletic club expects to
send a well-balanced team to defend
the Amateur Athletic union title won
by them last year. Nelson. Courtney
and Martin are all good sprinters.
Martin won the 100-yard title last
summer, Nelson and Courtney finish •
ing second and third, respectively.
Gish is capable of running under :50
for the quarter, and Edmundson has
gone better than 1:54 for the half mile.
At the last championships Eiinund
son beat Harry Gissing by terr yards
in 1:55 1-5, very good time consider
ing the cold and rainy day. Malcom
son is a very promising low hurdler
and should come close to repeating
his wla of last year.
DAVENPORT TO COMPETE .
Among the men who will probably
be selected to represent the Chicago
Athletic association are Davenport,
the college middle distance runner,
who made such wonderful time in the
Western conference meet, winning the
quarter and half-mile titles. Daven
port is rated better than :49 for tha
double furlong and the westerners as
sert that he can lower the half-miln
figures. E. C. Brown, president of the
Chicago Athletic association, is en
deavoring to arrange a match half
mile race between Sheppard and Dav
enport at Chicago on August 13.
Frank Irons, the Olympic broad
jump champion, and Joe Homer, tho
University of Michigan star athlete
and candidate for all around cham
pionship honors, will surely be mem
bers of the team. The Cherry Circlo
organization can always be depended
on to have a very strong team, as tho
majority of the college athletes in the
vicinity are representatives of the club.
TOE MEETS HOSE AGAIN
The Boston Athletic association will
send at least six men, among them
being Bill Coe, the shot putter, and
Sherman, the ex-Dartmouth sprinter.
The Montreal Athletic association is
contemplating sending its best ath
letes. The Canadian club rarely misses
sending a few men to the American
championships.
The Irish-American and the New-
York Athletic clubs will send their full
teams. The winged fist delegation will
travel by way of the water route,
having engaged practically an entire
steamer.
The games should be a real national
meet, the location being so favorably
situated. When the meet is held 'in
the west the easterners cannot send
large teams, which is the same way
with western associations wnen the
meet is held in the east. However,
last year the New York Athletic club
and the Chicago Athletic association
sent a few men to Seattle, but most
of the athletes were pretty well used
up after the long journey. If a cham
pionship meet is held in the far west
a western club generally gets away
with the laurels. New Orleans seems
to be within reach of nearly all of
the prominent clubs. The meet should
be closely contested between the New
York Athletic club and the Irish-
American Athletic club from the east,
the Chicago Athletic association from
the middle west, the Olympic club of
San Francisco and the Seattle Athletic
plub from the Pacific coast. It 19
doubtful if the southern athletic clubs
are strong enough to defeat any of
these organizations.
