PRINCETON SHI
HEIR COMPLETION
Will Be Ready For the Annual Bat
tle With the Yale Football
Eleven in November
Princeton, N. J., Sept. 29.—Very
little work remains to be done on
Princeton's new stadium, the Kift of
Edgar Palmer. 'O3. The unusual
weather this summer was highly
favorablo to work of this kind.
Princeton's newest addition to her
athletic equipment is practically-com
plete.
The first concrete was poured on
June 29, at which time there were
many who predicted that it would be
impossible to finish the work in time
for the Yale game this fall. But at
the present time both sides of the
horseshoe have been entirely com
pleted and all of the structure is built
for the remaining curve which will
complete the work. All that remains
to be done Is the pouring of the con
crete on this curve. The engineers in
charg© state that this will all have
been done by October 10, which will
leave Just a month until its opening
for putting the finishing touches to j
the completed work.
Field Improvements
The playing field has been given
particular attention and is said to be
the finest of its kind in the country.
The seating capacity of the stadium
is •JI.OOO. It is 672 feet long by 82n
feet wide. The playing field Is 617
feet long by 250 feet wide. The height
of the promenade, which runs around
(he whole stadium at the top behind
the seats, is 66 feet above the level of
the field. Surrounding the playing
field is a 4 40-yard cinder track and a
220 straightaway is provided along
one eide of the field.
A new field house for the con
venience of the teams is to be con
structed Just outside of the stadium
at the cost of $20,000. The stadium
proper will be easily emptied and
filled by means of 26 exits.

More World's Records
on Columbus Track

Special to The Tclegrafh
Columbus, <*>., Sept. 29.—From ten ;
: heats on yesterday's Columbus Grand
| Circuit racing program, a time aver
■ age of 2:04 67-100 was made for h
I reduction of the world's record made I
| on the same track last Tuesday, when |
j 13 heals were trotted and paced in an ]
average of 2:05 1-5.
Etawah. the Ueers trotter, was the |
sensational performer. In winning the
I Chamber of Commerce Stake, he made j
' a world's record three-heat trotting'
' mark, regardless of sex or age. The I
I total, 8:13%, Is just two seconds below i
I that made by Hamburg Belle at Hart- j
I ford, in the Charter "ak Stake race!
in 190 S.
Of the three heats, the third was]
the fastest. Omar contended even het-f
1 ler than in the previous miles, fore-'
ing the four-year-old to take a record (
of 2.03 %. which is new time fori
trotters of this age.
Ktawah earlier this year did an ex- '
hibition mile in 2:03%. His race rec-!
ord was made here last Tues- !
I day in the fastest fourth heat ever:
J trotted in a race. The Columbus
Chamber of Commerce presented a!
j silver trophy cup to Driver Gecrs.

OLYMPIC GAMES M\\ BE
HEM) IN SPITE OF WAR 1 ,
New York, Sept. 29. —That thel
Olympic games of Ifllfi will be held I
111 Berlin, despite the European w ; ar, I
is indicated in a letter received by I
the American Olympic committee yes-1
terday, from Rarnn Pierre de Cou- J
hertin. president of the International ,
Tlympic Committee. The letter, mailed
from Havre and is addressed to the j
late James E. Sullivan, says:—
"The sent of the VI Olympiad re-1
mains what it was, and, contrary to!
what the American papers say, I will ]
not personally make any proposal in I
favor of a rhange. We never thought!
the Olympic games would stop wars,
and I feel perfectly sure that when
the present war is over, the Olympic
movement will begin again as strong '
and fruitful as ever." 1
On account of the war, it was sug
gested some time ago by English <
sportsmen that the games be held
again in Sweden. In commenting on
this suggestion, the late James E. Sul
livan said that if it becomes necessary
to shift the games from Berlin the 1
Fnited States would be the logical
place in which to hold them.
ARMY-NAVY GAME TO
BE FIXED THIS WEEK
Washington, Sept. 29.—Final set- 1
Ilenient of the controversy between
j West Point and Annapolis over the se
' lection of the place for this year's
■ Army-Navy football game probably
will be reached to-day or early to
j morrow. Secretaries Daniels and Gar
; rison last night agreed to confer then
j with the athletic officers of the two ;
I service schools to consummate an
I agreement. 1
Officials here are confident that this
i year's game will be played in Phila
j delphia, inasmuch as New York had
r the contest last season.
It is understood that the West Point
I Athletic Association is willing to play i ,
I in alternating years over a period ofj
ten years In Philadelphia and New! j
| York, but the Navy objects to the time I
I cluuse. j

'Hans Lobert to Be
Phillies' New Manager
I Philadelphia, Sept. 29.—1t is vir
tually assured that John R. Lobert
! " ill be named to succeed Charles S.
, Dooin as manager of the Phillies,
i Unless there is an unexpected hitch,
i Lobert will receive the appointment
I this week at a meeting of the direc-
I tors.
j This will come as a surprise to the
I fans, as Lobert's name was never
> mentioned for the post. There were
reports that John Ganzel, Pat Moran
or Roy Thomas might be picked.
Lobert began his major league ca
reer with the Cubs in the Fall of 1903.
The following winter he was traded to
Cincinnati, where he remained until
the Dooin deal fetched him to this
city.
The prospective manager of the
Phillies ranks among the greatest
third basemen of the game. He is a
hard hitter and a fast fielder. He is
one of the fleetest runners in baseball.
He holds the record for circling the
bases, performing the feat in 13 4-5
seconds in a contest at Cincinnati on
August 10, 1910.

MUM SEASON
! OPENS THURSDAY
Bear and Ducks Will Be Ready For
Shooting, but Hard to Find;
Small Game Later
One more day and then comes the
hunting season. Bears and wild ducks
will be ripe Thursday.
Harrisburg has a number of bear
hunters, but they seldom start after
the big game until two weeks after
the season opens. The river is low
and there is not likely to be very
favorable conditions for duck hunting.
Hunters, however, are a patient lot
of fellows. They are willing to wait
until they think it is time for bagging
game. Local bear hunters claim there
are too many leaves and bushes in

the woods and mountains for bears.
As soon as a hunter is sighted by a
bear bruin gets lost in the thickets.
As for ducks, they are very scarce
just now Later they are likely to
make their appearance in large num
bers. Hunters say ducks ought to be
plentiful because of the spring season
having been closed. Some local hunt
ers do not look for a large number of
ducks in this locality. They claim
that on the marshes and lakes where
ducks breed men rob the nests of eggs
to supply the egg demand in the
larger cities and that only in certain
territories are ducks protected during
the hatching season.
Fifteen days from Thursday pheas
ants, grouse and squirrels will be in
season. This will keep the small game
hunters busy. As in the past, small
game is plentiful, but hunters will
have to be careful where they trespass
in search of game.
Pocket Billiard Star
Gives Great Exhibition
Pocket billiardists in Harrisburg and
vicinity witnessed some wonderful
shooting at The Cav,e rooms, Market
street, last night. O. P. Ephardt, tha
Toledo champion, gave one of the best
exhibitions ever seen in Harrlsburg.
Ephardt is an artist. His fancy and
trick shooting is interesting and
difficult.
Ephardt will be here for a weelc
and is ready to meet all comers. His
exhibition program will be changed
every night. One of the shots Ep
hardt makes is to pocket three bails
on one mass shot.
The cue ball drives first ball to cor
ner pocket, then forces ahead and
sends the second ball to lower left
corner pocket, then takes English an«<)
comes along the rail to the thir wf
ball, driving it into lower right-hand
pocket.
