The Syracuse Review Track company has Issued the program for n tour days' harness race meeting on October 9 , 10 , 11 and 12. This meeting promises to bo of unusual Interest , as .It Is to bo managed on a new principle. Ten entries are required to fill each class and no more accepted. In. case any class should fall to bo Ailed , the num ber received wilt be allowed to start tor the amount paid In , and the nonwlnners of money In such class will receive their share of 60 per cent of the gate receipts , the same DS they would had the class been filled. One hundred and fifty box stalls will ba furnished free to horsemen. Secretary D. T. Hill has made arrangements for special trains from Lincoln and Nebraska City on each day oC the meeting. The kite track. never was In n better condition , und with classes from 2:12 : up , and purses Irom $100 to | 1,000 , the meeting promises to be a success. There are three events on the program for each day , as folto\va ; October 3 2:11 : pace , $1,000 purse ; 2:33 : trot , J2UOJ foals of 1832 , trotting ; $200 ; October 10 3:00 : trot , $200 ; 2:23 : trot , 00 ; 2:38 : trot , J2SO ; October 11 2:23 : trot , ? 250 ; 2:30 : pace , $250 ; yearling trot , half mile heats. $100.

"Sweet Little AHx , " now enjoys , the undisputed championship by reason of trot ting a mile In 2:03 : % , lowering Hanks' record of 2.0-1. The record which has been belli by eastern men and horses for so many years , has come to the west , and will probably remain here for some time. Alls belongs to a. western stable , which has a list of such champions as Directly , 2-year-old champion , pacer. Expressive. 3-yuar-old champion trotter , and Flying Jib , ex-cham pion pacer , nnd she Is the pride oC them nil. The beautiful daughter of Patronage has made several attempts to reduce- the record mark , but she could not until she was sent on the GalesburR track. The time by quarters shows that she could have gone nearly a second faster If she hail not been , rested In the third , quarter la order to make a strong finish. Pa. Hamtln says that next year he will go after the new record with his wonderful 4-year-old , Fantasy , 2:07. : Robert J Is now reeling off miles Jn dan gerous proximity to the 2:00 : mark , and during the last month he has made wonder ful progress In time. He commenced his record breaking- career by pacing a mile In 2:03& . and It was considered * n grand performance. Then he got Into a race with Joe Patchen nnd had to go the- mile In 2:02H : In order to win It. And to cap the whole lie went ngalnst that swift old "hoss. " Father Time , and chased him under the wire at Terre Haute In 2:01 : % . Now the great little gelding nnd the stop watch nre lighting- see which can crc-ss under the wire Hrst In the 2:00 : class. The rivalry between the owners of Joe Patchen and John R. Gentry will un doubtedly result In a matched race before the close of the season , and under ordinary circumstances such a race would be worth a day's journey In a balloon to see , Joe Patohcn has traveled a mile In a race In 2:02i. : and Gentry In 2:0311. : Both arc pacing stallions and world beaters of their kind , white a jreldlns holds the record. Patchen was sent a mile against the ( Slock recently , but the best he could da was 2:01 : , nnd this mark has to stand as his record. Gentry s mile fi-oes on record , buti Patchen's fast time In Ills race with Robert J does not count , officially. The managers of several western tracks are rylnjr to Reoure1 the match between these great horses , and big money Is offered for their appearance. The Bee has .published 'n bl6craphy' of Joe Patchen , anil hereIB a sketch of Gentry : He Is n bright bay stallion , very handsome In conformation and attractive In sts'le , though of but medium size. He Is 5 years old , and was bred by H. G. Toler ol Wich ita , Kan. , who owns his sire , Ashland Wllkes. He was sold to John It. Gentry and his Into trainer , Ramey , after he hnd achieved n 3-year-oSd record of 2:13. He was sold In August to the Alimnnce Stock company cf North Carolina for 110,000. and put In McHenry's stable. His dam. Dame Wood , by Wedgewood , Is nlso dam of Myron E. Mcllenry , the trotter and Theo dore Shclton , the pacing 2-year-old. * * Directly , the king of the 2-year-old pac ers , made a mark on Charley Williams' new Galesburj ; track one day this week .hat made the people dlzzv to look at It. It was 2075J ; , within a half second of the world's < -year-old record , and he paced some of the quarters at a clip as fast as ; he world beaters * can make. Only once : hls season has Dlrectly's laurels been In lanper. That was when Carbonate low ered the mark on the Terre Haute track to 2C3 : a week ago. Directly then had a mark of 2:10Vi : , nnd Carbonate had reduced this mark to 2:10. : Directly was sent ngnlnst the clock and the best ho could lo was to equal 2:10. The same day Car- uonate went the mile In 2:09 : , nnd u was thought that Directly could not equal this record. But he fooled everybody by traveling eling- the mile In the unprecedented time oC 2:07 : . Here Is a little sketch of the 2-yenr-old which Is going the rounds of "hoss" papers : "Directly , 2-07i , the 2- year-old California pacer , was bred by1 I. D. Cunningham of Haywards. Cal. . a small town about fifteen miles from Pleas- anton. The story of how Mr , Cunning ham cnme to breed the black fellow Is , full of Interest. Three years ago Mr. Cun ningham , was employed on the fruit farm ot Mlle Knox at J lay \vani3 , and was the possessor of a brood mare named Mabel , a daughter of Naubuc , a brptner to Thomas Jefferson , 2:22. The dam oC Mabel was * " pacing mare of rare Individual merit , but of untraced breeding- . One day Sir. Cunningham suggested to Mr. Knox the Lhotitrht of breeding Mabel , and requested Mr. Knox's opinion rt" . . > r'I " WMI hiry * to select for the union.Tl.'rect ' , by all means,1 replied Mr. Knox , 'he Is the best liorse In the state.1 'But , ' said Mr. Cun ningham , 'I can't stand $150 service fee. It's out of the question. ' 'Well , ' replied Mr. Knox , 'that Is just what you caw stand. It won't pay you to breed to a poor horse , and the best Is always In the ; nd cheapest. ' The conversation ended here , but the owner of Mabel went to his work In the orchard thinking seriously. On his return to dinner he told Mr. Knox that he would follow his advice , and requested that gentleman to arrange with Mr. Salisbury for the service of Direct , which was done. " A race that has been exciting great In terest Is the $15,000 stallion stake booked for September 23 at Mystic Park during the New England Breeders' meeting. II now looks as If It would be drawn down to a race between Dlrectum , 2CG' : . ; , ami Arion. 2:0751Kremlin , 207tt : , Moquette , 2:10 : , and Nelson , 2:09 : , were entered , and. the latter may be a starter , but It Is certain that neither Moquetto nor Kremlin will. The former has been sent home , as his prepar atory work wns not satisfactory to Mc llenry or to his owners , and there nre great doubts that Kremlin will Etart , ns Trainer Blthcr says that he pulled up lame In his work this week. It will be a holiday event to New England horse fan ciers , ns Arion Is owned by J. Malcolm Forbes of Boston and Nelson by C. H.

PRINCETON WILL LOSE PHIL KING Monarch of tliDQanrlorbnel Will He Mltscil from th Tmiui Ynl HIM LlUlo lo Altar llnrvnrtl nnd Itixlljr Crlptiled. the collCBes ot the country will not open their doors for a week or two yel , the training season ot the foot ball teams ot many has been In progress tor some time. It Is hard to crowd Into the two months that elapse before the opening of college and Thanksgiving : day the hard trainIng - * Ing necessary to prcparo the teams for the Important gamca that take place on the lat ter day , no matter what the grade of the college from which they come. Especially Is this the case with the teams of tlie greater colleges. To get Into trim for the hard matches with which they end the season , It Is positively necessary , as the case now stands , for them to begin earlier than the opening of college. Consequently , the teams ot the big colleges have put In nearly a month ot practtca already. Most ot them began their training1 'In ' special quarters about September 1 , and In several cases the backs had put in L couple of weeks * work before that. Of the teams of the four big colleges- Princeton , Yale , Harvard and University of Pennsylvania three will ho practically un changed In their personnel from last year. Harvard Is the only one which will have to got new material to any great extent , The others will have to get new men for one or two positions , but suitable candidates are In almost every Instance ready to take them. Doubtless there will be changes. Under the new rules much more running will bo required than under the old , and it Is not at all unlikely that some of the Blower men of Ihe teams will have to give place to swifter. PRINCETON LOSES QTJAUTHrtBACK KING. Princeton will lose two men , Blake and King , fullback and quarterback respect.v. ly , To fllf BlaUe'H position should not be dim- cult. While he put up a very good nnd steady game on last Thanksgiving- can not be called more than an average full back. The two most promising- candidates for the position are McCormlclt nnd Vorhls. The former la only a fair kicker , but he may develop. He Is , however , a very good ground iatlner when he has theball. . He has been on Ihe scrub for two years and such experience Is valuable. But the thing that will effect the team most Is the loss of King. He was an lnval > - uablo player behind the line , and will be exceedingly hard to replace. His tackling was low and hard always , and for Inter ference he has never been surpassed. He was undoubtedly the strongest man of the team , Who will take his place Is a question Impossible to answer as yet. There has been tnTk of puttingSlorse In as quarter , but this move Is very doubtful. He has been , tried there before nnd made only n partial success. Besides , he Is too valuable a halfback to lose. Young POP , a brother of Johnny , will probably be given a trial. He Is very light , but hardly more so than his brother , tidgar Allen , or rather "Peter , " as he Is familiarly known , who has the rep utation of bclnR the best quarter that ever received the ball. \n the rest of the team there will probably be no change. The line last year was con sidered the strongest that ever stepped on the gridiron In the history of the game , and could hardly be bettered. They are all good runners , and as Individuals will prob ably not be surpassed by any In their posi tions this year. They line up as follows : Center , Balllet ; guards. Taylor and Whcelerr tackles , Lea and Holly ; ends , Brown nd Trenchard. Ward and Morse will hold their positions ns halfbacks with out a doubt. Morse has been on the team two years , nnd was substitute the year be fore that , while Ward made his reputation lost.year . , hlH first year on the team. BEA71EHS OP THE BLUE. Yale Is even better off than Princeton , as all her old men are back. Whatever changes occur will be made only because stronger men are found. The team lines up as fol lows : Center , Stlllman : guards , Hlckok and McCrea ; tackles , Murphy nnd Beard ; ends , , Hlnkey and Oreenway ; quarter , Adee : half backs , Theme and Armstrong- ; fullback , Buttenvorth. It Is practically certain that Armstrong will not play this year. He was elected captain of the crew and wishes to devote bin whole time to it. If he had played foot ball It Is doubtful whether ho would have made the team. His work against both Princeton and Harvard last year was poor , hardly gaining n. yard In either cose , although his defense was very strong. Do Witt , who pushed him hard last year , can more than take his place , and will probably do BO. Yale also has a multitude of substitutes , who may crowd out the old men In several cases. Sanford , who has tried for center agulnst Stlllman for two years , will be given another trial this year. Stlllman ob. talned the place on account of his weight and strencth. Sanford Is a much faster runner , and fast running- will be especially Indispensable In a center this year. He Is also a. much livelier man. Rogers , an Andover man , will give Murphy a hard rub for tackle , and may crowd him oui. Irf-tton , the heavy fullback of .Andover , will try for a. position behind the line. He Is n remarkably flne punter and drop kicker , but will not oust Buttenvorth. Another promising- candidate Is William Lander , who Is known through New England as a strongplkinglng baric. CRIMSON'S CRIPPLED CONDITION. Harvard Is worse oft than any cf the teams. She will lose several of her beat men. Lewis , probably the best center that ever played , will be gone , as will Newell , who has ealnect almost an equal reputation as tackle. The latter remains at the uni versity , but he has plnlyed four years. The two guards , Mackle and Acton , will not be candidates , but will remain at tljc uni versity , and may be called upon. They are only mediocre players , and It appears likely that their positions can be filled. Walcr . last year's halfback nnd captain , will not nil his old position. He may not play ni all on account of the dlfilculty he had last , year with the athletic association. If he does , he will probably play guard. Several years ago he was considered one of the best , while the same cannot be said of his work as full. Emmons and Stevenson , ends , and Manahan , tackle , are the only ones re maining In the line. Behind the line are : Beal , quarter , Wrlghtlngton , half , and Brewer , full. In the way of promising candidates Har vard Is not very well fixed. Pierce , who was on the freshman team , will be worked at center. He weighs 00 pounds and Is clumsy and slow. His play Is much like Stlllman's of Yale. Holt of Andover and a subfreshman nnmed Pierce are the best of the guards. The latter Is new lo the game. Hallowrll , a cnusln of Harvard's old end rush , la the moat promising can didate far tackle and Is very good. Gould and Connor are two other men trying for the position. For the vacant half Gouter- man , Dunlop nnd Gray are trying. The last named Is a veteran , but both the others are good and will push him hard. Pennsylvania will bo as strong as last year and can have almost the same team If she wants It. Thornton , however , has played four years and cannot play quarter. . Wngenhurst will probably be tried. Ho Is a heavier man and Is fully as good as Thornton , Williams Is another man talked of. Coachcr Woodruff Is also talking of ICnlpe for quarter , but this man Is too Rood a line breaker to change from half , The other positions behind the line will probably remain as Inst year , Knlpe und Osgood , half backs , nnd Brooke- , full back. There will doubtless be changes In the line. Wnarton will play one guard and Woodruff , the brother of the coach , the other. The tackles are do ibtfu ] , but prob ably lie between Bull , Stewart and Lucas. Both of the latter tire freshmen. The ends wilt remain as last year , -IlosetigurUii and Upton. HOW THEY MAY WIN. It Is hardly wise to predict so early In the season , haw the teams will wind up , especially under the new conditions , yet there Is no good reason why Princeton should not remain the champion , She will have as good a , line ns last year , even better , because of another season's play together , Behind the line the runners will be an good , If not better. Of course , King Is ponf , nnd the loss of his strong de- feniii J nnd offensive work will be keenly felt , yet not t , such a decreeas to weaken the team. Even with lila loss , the team iiromlces to be stronger. Yale will nlso be stronger. She loeen no good man , ana another season's work together will greatly strengthen her. The Anal contest between the two will see both stronger In dividually , tail not very much so compara tively , although Yale may have gained a Pennsylvania will defeat neither. She appears to lack tea considerable degree the spirit which animates them , although her team Is often aa good and has even been composed at better players In the past. The lack of college eplrlt account * lor her defeats more than anything else. Harvard appears ot present the weak est of the quartet. Her work In the past lof" .not jruorantcts the liopo that uho frill pick up In time to defeat the others. However , she may defeat Pennsylvania , ns the latter never exerts herself aa much iwnlnst Harvard ns he docs ngalnst the other two , especially Princeton. It Is n matter of regret that a mntcli between Harvard nnd 1'rlnceton could not be arranged. Princeton has made over- lures time and again , but the unsports manlike conduct of Hnrvnrd stands In tha way. A match , however , will probably laka place next year. INTEREST IN THE WEST. Of the Western Interstate lenjiuo very little can as yet be said. None of the teams liavo begun practice yet , nnd Iowa la the only ono that has shown nny signs of life. The members ot this team were furnished with foot balls the latter part of the summer nnd Instructed to spend as much time as they could In kicking. It In Impossible to tell yet how many members of the teams of the universities of Iowa , Missouri nnd Knnsns will be back. Iowa thinks , that almost all of her men will return. In the other two there will ba several vacancies. Of the Nebraska team five men will re turn. They arc Dern , half buck nnd captain ; Wilson , center ; Wiggins and Shoe , ends , nnd Otiry , tackle. Candidates far the other positions nre scarce nnd not very promising. In all probability thera will bo several changes In the men that re turn. Dem may change to guard. Oury Is talked of us half back. Ho Is a heavy man uml i vcs the Impression that he would make a very Rood plunging back. Fllppln will not return , and , an things now look , a heavy half -will be Indispensable to take his place. The prospects of the team am not very promising , as there la very little money In the treasury , A. coach will be hired for only three weeks , but u good deal can be done in that length of time. The high schools of the state have opened and their teams nre Kcttlng Into shape. At the meeting of the High School Foot Ball league at Lincoln on September 15 , eight schools were represented. The league was divided Into tuo circuits : Lincoln , Ashland , Nebraska City and Omaha com posing the northern , und Pawnee Clly , Wymore , Falls City and Beatrice the southern. Plnttsmouth , the old enemy of the Omaha High school , unfortunately dropped out en account of financial dim- cullies. The schedule for the northern circuit Is as follows : October C. Ashlund at Nebraska City ; Oc tober 13 , Nebraska City at Omaha ; October 13 , Lincoln at Ashland ; October 20 , Atthland at Omaha ; October 27 , Lincoln nt Nebraska City ; November 3 , Omnha nt Lincoln ; No vember 17 , championship game ot northern and southern circuits. The prospects for the season , financially and from a playing standpoint , nre prom ising. Several of the schools. Including- Oninlm , will have couches for n part of the season at leant. LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEAM. The Omaha High school team will have seven men back : Gardner , full back ; Pur vis , right half back ; Burdlck. left half back ; Cowglll , right guard ; Whlpple , left tackle ; Cross , center ; Clark , quarter back and captain. There nre a large number of candidates , some of Whom are prom ising. The Y. M. C. A. team has been practicing ticing- since the tlrst of the month. It was earlier thought that a large number of old college plnyera would form the team. Most of them , however , will not have the time , or will coach other teams. Therefore the team will be without them. The present candidates nre light ami know very little about the game. They have been Instructed by Charley Thomas of Ann Arbor and Henry Lyman of Yale. The prospects arc not for a strong team , chiefly on account of the lightness of the men. Other Nebraska nnd Iowa schools and colleges nre getting their teams ready and have secured conches. Some of them will undoubtedly have good teams. ARTHUR IRWIN'S LEAGUE. Professional foot ball will be given a trial this year. A league has been formed between Washington , Baltimore , Philadel phia , New York and Brooklyn. A code ot rules and a constitution have been pre pared on the lines of those which govern the National Base Bull league. A sched ule has been prepared which provides that six games shall be played In each city by each team. Itt \ proposed that an English team be Invited to make a tour of the cllys. The season well begin October 1 and last for six. months. In every case the uniforms of the home teams will be black , with white stockings , while the- vis itors will have white uniforms wul black stockings. The teams have already been secured nnd arc in training. It will be a matter of Interest to lovers of foot ball to watch the- results of this scheme. It has always been Bald that foot ball could not become professional , because professionals would never be willIng - Ing to undergo the necessary hard train ing , nor would play the game hard un- lesi something lieyond their salary urged them. Foot ball In Itself does not appeal to the general mass ot the people. That the teams bolonsed to such and such col leges was what first mode It popular. Much the same feeling exists yet. Those who go to see a. game because It Is a game of foot ball want good , hotly con tested matches , where there Is sclf-cvl- denf and Intense rivalry , It does not seem probable that professional foot hall will have such Inducements for the spectators , and If It does not U will never become professional. This Is the hope of foot ball players. It Is practically the only purely amateur- game played now In this country and it should remain such. Vl-.STJOISUAV't.
