Thomas Discusses the Racing of
Autos on Circular Traces
R. R. l'Hommedieu
The eastern automobilists and manu
facturers are beginning to realize that
racing on a mile track is dangerous
•port. Driving a car at a mile a
tfclnute nearly always results In an
accident. Of late eastern men have
been running off 24 hour contests to
show the durability of their cars. Everf
In these contests there have been fa
tal accidents.
Up to the present time there have
been three winners in these 24 hour
•vents. The Thomas oar has captured
one event, the Renault has won an
othsr and the Fiat took the last event.
To settle the question of superiority
E. B- Thomas, head of the companies
that make the different styles of
Thomas cars, has Issued the following
challenge:
"In every race in which we have
participated we have had but one ob
ject; the perfection of our cars. We
have now reached the stage where the
E. R, Thomas motor company can with
draw from circular track racing 1 , but
before It does I Tra.nl to have our car
take part in one more contest: this
time for sport and for the honor of
America. I accordingly challenge the
Renault and the Fiat to a single car,
24 hour race with the Thomas flyer and
on Its conclusion I will retire perma
nently from circular track racing, as It
Is now conducted on tracks not suited
to Fuch events.**
In speaking of the accidents that
tave taken place on \he tracks during
the last season Thomas says: "Acci
dents from racing on circular tracks
are caused by the entrance of too many
cars; the entrance of care that cannot
etand the gruelinr? test of a long race
of this kind; the recklessness of Inex
perienced drivers and the unprepared
ness of the tracks. In the proposed
race none of thesp conditions would
be present. But three cars are entered;
they have each proven their stanch
ness."
While many persons who are Inter
ested In the automobile are putting
their stamp of disapproval on track
racing, there is another side to the
question. Priver Wagner, the great
French chauffeur, who won' both the
last Vanderbilt and the classic Ar
d'nnes races In one year, says:
"When a human being travels on a
racing car at the rate of two miles, or
even a 'mile a minute In competition,
depending entirely upon his five senses
and a mute, companion for guidance,
staking his nerve and judgment, his
experience or inexperience with the
course, against a thousand chances of
disaster or worse, he Is presumably
playing: with death. Does he realize or
remember it at the time? Never — if he
wishes to win. Accidents may happen
to the best regulated machines with
disastrous consequences, and to that ex
tent the driver must unquestionably
have and hold his life in his hand when
mounting his car for a great race."
From the above it is seen that, al
though It Is thought at. times that the
men who drive In these races do not
fully understand the chances they are
taking, the big: men in the game fully
realize how near death they drive.
A party of automobilists were ex
changing stories and experiences in
Oakland the other evening wnen Leon
M. Hall startled the group by making
the assertion that he would give any
man $1,000 who could show where he
had spent a five cent piece on his
Thomas car during the two round trips
It had made between Oakland and Vir
ginia City.
Dr. Reinhardt of Berkeley, who early

Tie Game Is Played
at West Point
WEST POINT, N. T.. Oct. 19. — In a
hard played line smashing game before
the biggest, crowd of spectators ever
gathered on the military academy
ground. West Point today held'' Tale
to a tie, neither side being able to
score through two exciting halves.
The weather was Ideal and ~ the
crowd, Btrong In army sympathy,
cheered the cadets to the echo when
time "after . time their line held the
bucking Yale players, and fairly went
mad when the game was called and
Yale had failed to score.
The cadets tonight are inclined to
give much of their credit for what
they, considered a victory to Coach
Forbes, who played end on tho Yale
team last year, and who was able to
teach the cadets many of the tricks 'on
which Yale depended to score.

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. 19.— The midship
men and the Harvard team met at foot
ball for the first time In the history of
the two institutions this afternoon. The
result was Harvard 6, navy 0.
The only scoring was done in the
latter part of the first half, when after
Captain Doyglas of the navy had made
a beautiful 120 yard run the navy failed
to get in further and he was forced
to try an onslde kick. This was inter
cepted by Butt for Harvard. The visit
ors immediately resorted to Butt's toe
for a delayed kick, which was covered
by ' Fish when Oague fumbled. This
was on the IS yard line and the crim
son then hammered Its way to a score,
with Pierce making the touchdown and
Butt kicking goal. The game was
fiercely fought from start to finish.
Although much the heavier, the crim
son men were unable to get through
the navy line for any ga.n, all 'being
on trick plays and. end runs. The navy
played the better straight football, but
the visitors easily excelled In variety
of play and open work.

Seals and Beavers Play Clever
Baseball at Recreation Park
W. J. Slattery
After -'. rallying as they never had
rallied before the Seals, In the ninth
inning of yesterday's -battle, set the
crowd wild by tieing the score.: But
the worst was to come. Prosperity ef
fected the benders of Mr. Henley and
the fielding ability of Mr. .Streib. \ In
Jig time the Beavers «Md their deadly
work in the tenth spasm. It was v a
veritable slaughter and ere it ended,
four of the husky McCredie contingent
beat It to the pan. Needless to say th<^
Seals could 'not do any good in their
portion of the round.
If the fans can forget the finish and
remember the rally, they will have nice
things to ponder over for some moons
to come. Two men had been safely
stowed away when Zeider singled into
center and Streib sent one beyond tho
reach of Johnson. There were cries tor
Raby Ksola. who responded as smil
ingly as ever and immediately dis
patched one of Kinsella's shoots on its
way to the clubhouse, chasing both
runners in. •
The crowd by that time had reached
the real old hysterical stage. In the
mixup that followed Johnson tossed the
ball away at the pan and \u25a0 the Baby
pulled up at third. It was Henley' 3
turn with the big stick and, after two
and three .were called on him, he re
sponded with a drive to deep center
and the score was a tie, when it seemed
a' few moments' before that the Seals
were doomed to a 4 to 1 defeat.
Th« reaction in the tenth was a dia
mond nightmare that will haunt Danny
Long for a while. After the flret two
men had perished by the infield out,
Streib booted Donahue's grounder, and
Rafferty bit off a double into center,
sending Pat through. McCredie feot a
pass, Johnson stung the leather for a
single to center and Rafferty registered.
Kennedy's double to^deep center, put
Johnson and McCredie past the danger
hurdles and so badly broke up the game
so that there was no chance to re
pair it. ':
The battle throughout was full of
the ginger that makes baseball what
it should be. Both pitchers were
pumped hard at times, but their field
ers were playing the game for fair,
and as a result runs were much scarcer
than they might have been. /Portland
played far and away the better base
ball^and, therefore, its victory was a
merited one. •
Portland broke in with a - pair of
runs in the^_jseoond round. Kennedy
started with a double to center.which
was followed by- another double from
the bat of Bassey.Mott followed' with
a single into right. These three juicy
hits, coming in quick succession, netted
two runs for a starter.
The Seals could \u25a0 not . do . any. good f ot
themselves, till the third. Then after
two had been stowed; away Hilda beat
a nasty one to v third and Piper, took
a walk. Williams planted a grasscut
ter into center and Hllde came air the
way around on it. Umpire Perrine
taw Williams interfere with the throw
in from the outfield and promptly called
him out Had the indicatorman over*
looked this there would have ; been
another tally for, the Seals, for Piper
was already at the plate. -^
The game rolled merrily along from
that time till _ the ninth, ;-\u25a0'. when . the
Beavers went for a oouple more. : Raf
ferty hit one to \u25a0 the j pitcher and :: Mo-
Credie bunted him along. /.Johnson
helped with a single and Kennedy com
pleted the good work by doubling to
the clubhouse. That apparently clinched
It iip, but 1 when the Seals came ln r with
that ninth" inning rally the -crowd all
agreed that the old": adage, "A ball
game Is | never over till the last man ?is
out," still goes double. The score: -i

Baseball Notes
The nine innings were reeled off in an hour
and 16 minutes. Jlt looked like a record came,.
but the last inning consumed about 20 minutes,
so t'oare was no chance to lower tbe mark.
.Johnson's bad throw, to tbe plate In the nfnth
inning; was the only error charged against [ the
Bearers. Johnson should not be blamed so much
for the mistake,, because the crowd was yelling
like mad. and he probably did not knew, whether
be was taking a spin In an anto, digging pota
toes or playing baseball. ' t \u25a0
Maybe that boy Kennedy did not lean agalast
the ball some. Three doubles and & single tell
the story. of Ms afternoon's work with the big
stick. And Rafferty . ..was a c]ose second, ."re
sponding with a double and ; three singles. ' Be
tween them they secured nearly half of the hits
made off Henley; ---."*
c- • c
: Had Henley got away with the game yester
day he would haTe made a clean sweep against
Kinsella for > tbe season. On eyery other occa
rlon that the, pair, have hooked up Henley has
beaten tbe northern slabster. * After \u25a0 tbe Seals
had completed tbelr ninth Inning rally It looked
awful good for Sitters, but it failed to. last.
Oscar Jones has a back flip pal In little Piper-
Fora' long time Oscar was the only man in the
league 'who could < torn -those fancy tumbles on

line, while Piper was finding it to the': fans
from . the third \u25a0 base coaching box. This work
made a great. bit witrr.'the fans, and when John

Coaches at Stanford University Are
Wording Players Hard
STANFORD UNIVERSITT. Oct 19.—
With the big game witn the University
of California but three weeks away,
the : coaches at- Stanford have settled
down to the taslflf whipping the var
sity squad Into fnape and putting the
finishing touches -en the chosen few.
The scrum is the center of attention
at present, as It has been changed con
siderably within the last week.
The only man in the front rank of
the pack who has remained at his posi
tion is Captain Bill Koerner. Koerner
Is a star performer. His booting of the
ball from the mass and dribbling, as
well as passing on forward rushes, are
features of the nightly practice. Shoul
der to shoulder with Koerner. Homer
Rhyne, the first choice for front rank
of the squad at the start, has been
placed in hot competition with C C
Terrill, a husky junior. They have
been alternated at the position and ap
pear to have an equal show for the
place. Terrill Is good at passing. Lut
has been out of the game for some time
on account of Injuries. He* shows a
disposition to hang on to the . leather
a fter it has been downed. In the posi-
I lon at lock Minturn and Crawford
* lave been shifting. Crawford up to
this time has been a fixture at side
rank. On several occasions Minturn
has been put on the second team and
Thprpe taken from the rear rank and
placed in the side rank, while Luke j
Smith, a junior, has been put at. rear (
rank. The other shift In the. scrum;
has been that of . Pv>mberton and Mil
ler, who has been taken from the wing.
"With Miller at side rank, Pemberton,
: '08, has been forced to the second team.
PEMBERTON GOOD AT WING
At wing forward Cyrus Pemberton,
a sophomore and brother of Pemberton.
the scrum man, has the best chance at
present. His fast, aggressive work
and careful guarding on defense hare
made his position very secure. On the
line out Pemberton Is an excellent
player.
At scrum half one of the most start
ling of all the changes has been made.
Kenny Fenton, the crack quarter back
of the old game, has been taken from
fullback, where he was the hero of tho
last Rugby game, and placed at the
trying stand back of the pack. Kenny
handles the ball like a veteran and will
probably enter the game against Berke
ley here. He Is just the man to kick
to touch In a pinch and stop dribbling
rushes of opponents, as well as get the
ball out of the field to the fives. Owen'
who played here on the varsity last
year, is taking: the position left vacant
by Vandervoort at center. Vandervoort
is temporarily out of the game because
of a wrenched ankle. Owen Is putting
up a fine game at his new place.

Baseball
nonar *10. the two sophomores who
played In those positions on their class
teams, are making things hum. Both
are fast and hit the pack at full speed
: wbea dashing for openings. Mitchell,
who Is strong at kicking, is second five,
while Ganong, who starts from his po
sition like a flash, takes the ball from
Ben ton. Reed, who played wing on
the freshman team, and Holman. th»
veteran wing of last year, are first
choice for varsity positions. Holman
Is recovering f r<?ro a severe sprain.
FRESHMAN BBOWN FLAYS WELI,
The one freshman who stands In the
shadow of the varsity, outside of Reed,
who is a "Christmas freshman" and Is
affiliated with the sophomore class. Is
F. C. Brown, the cool headed fullback
of the first year team. He Is the sur
prise and idol of all bleache rites and
coaches. His showing has been a
revelation to the coaches and the most
optimistic of the . undergraduates
imagine they see the white "S" already
emblazoned on the uniform of this
clever back. Kicking for, 40 yards
within six Inches of touch into touch
was the stunt which first put him in
lino for Fenton'a difficult position, and
his accuracy has been noticed In every
play. Both coaches consider the young
ster as a "comer." At present he boots
as far and as accurately as Fenton and
tackles like a stone wall, but In run
ning he is not as fast as "Kenny."
The men of tha first and second
•quads are undergoing the hardest sort
of training. Every night the two teams
are lined up and kept at It until tha
players are nearly exhausted.
