Mary Coastman, a New Jersey mare, was right at her heels during the three heats paced and the time made was excellent, considering condition of trot. In the half mile chariot races Mel ville and Son, New York Hippodrome, won the two abreast dashes in 1.07 and 1.10, and the four abreast dash in 1.09. • BIG STAR GETS INTO GAME IN LAST INNING - igftfr \ m * *g 4 fi i J * * ■ > ; \ WIULIAM KtL-l-f F'ETR. s&P "Big Bill" Killifer was missed in the world's series games. This does r.ot mean that Eddie Burns was lacking. The Phillies' star catcher, who has been out with a bad arm, has had more experience with pitchers and a general opinion prevailed that had he been back of the bat the Boston hits would have been less. In the last Inning of yesterday's game when the Quakers came to the bat Killifer asked to get into the game. He batted for Rixey, but could not turn the tide. Uncle Sam's Employes on Isthmus Have Sport and Good Times Aplenty So much has been said about the giant task accomplished at Panama that one might think that Uncle Sam's employes on the isthmus had no pleasures. As a matter of fact, many of them are sportsmen. For example, on Gatun Lake are to be seen numbers of high-powered motor boats, and there are few places where the sport of motor boating may be more thoroughly enjoyed tnan on this great artificial laka with its numerous arms and estuaries reaching far into the jungle, where twelve-foot alligators doze beside tne water and deer come down to drink at sunset. Many of the employes and soldiers j are enthusiastic hunters and deer are extremely plentiful on the isthmus, I while alligators and tapirs are also ■ favorite objects of the chase. A few weeks ago, one of the soldiers sta i tioned at Gatun killed a tapir weigh ing 500 pounds within half a mile of his barracks. Alligator hunting is a ' sport of long standing and many tra ditions on Panama. The alligator story has somewhat the same status there as the well-known fish story in the United States. Every old hunter has some tale to tell you about a 14- foot alligator which he shot through the brains four times and loaded into his boat, only to have it come to life and slap him into the middle of next week with a single stroke of its power ful tail. One unique and wholly indigenous sport at Panama is that of tarpon fishing off Gatun Spillway. Below the great dam the Chagres river is a deep and narrow stream all the way to the sea. Furthermore, it Is filled with Spanish jack and several other small fish of which the tarpon are very fond. The latter run up from the sea and seem especially fond of feeding just at the foot of the great spillway. When the gates of the dam are closed, espe < ially on a Sunday, long rows of ang lers stand along the spillway waiting for a striffe from the great leaping same fish. They hav<j the very best equipment powerful rods which which they gouge in leather holders at their belts. Reels of European manu-i facture, worth fabulous sums of i money, lines that would hold a hors*\ j and tiny wire leaders. On a Sunday! there are often fifteen or twenty ang- i lers on the spillway, usually one or' two women among them, while on the] banks sit an eager and interested i crowd. Suddenly, one of the lines flashes '•aut and a silver fish five feet long flings himself out of the water, shak ing his head. A shout goes up from the crowd, they begin to coach the fisherman exactly as they would a runner at a basball game. Then there Is another strike. Two of them are going at once. With several of the giant fish hooked at the same time and everybody*thoroughly excited, the spectacle becomes one worth going a long way to see.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR' DOLLAR CHRISTMAS FUND j To the Editor of the Telegraph: | Tweleve months ago I made an ap j peal to Americans in behalf of the Dol lar Christmas Fund for Belgians—one I of the many efforts made here and in ; Europe to avert the threatened starva | tion of a nation. The response was prompt and generous. Not alone the i rich contributed, but even many of the ! very poor with the happy result that Iwe were able to send to Belgium a Christmas ship laden not only with Christmas good wishes, but with food i and clothing. Those were the days I when every shipload meant lives saved. ! Some of our best friends were news— | papers and even little children in Sun i day schools gave freely of their penny ; banks in behalf of other children less happy thin themselves, i To the American Commission for Re lief in Belgium—the saviors of Belgium ito quote Cardinal Mercier—has been ! left the vital task of solving the food j problem and though the future of Bel j gium in 1916 is beyond prophecy and i must apparently depend to a larger ex- I tent than ever upon American help, one ; may feel reasonably assured that the I prospect of famine —for this year at | least, lias been definitely removed. One third of a soldier's ration—enough at I least to keep body and soul together— i is now served daily to all necessitous ; persons in Belgium. | The task now undertaken by the Dol lar Christmas Fund is to collect money for shoes, boots and clothes, which are most urgently needed and for which special money must be provided. The necessity is appalling because at the ! present time there are roughly 3,500,000 j destitute people in Belgium and the number increases as the winter ap | proaches. The Belgians are unable to • buy shoes, boots and clothes themselves —many even of the former wealthy are now in the daily bread line. This year .as last, our fund has the warm approval and valued co-operation of a committee of representative citi zens, including Colonel George Harvey, Dr. William T. Hornaday, Victor F. Lawson. Adolph S. Ochs, Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn. William C. Reick, Melville E. Stone, Oscar S. Straus, [ George T. Wilson. All our workers are ' honorary, and all money collected will be expended by the American Commis i sion for Relief In Belgium. No better i guarantee can be given that every | penny subscribed will be wisely spent. i Mr. Percy Bull.fn, of 66 Broadway, New I York, has again undertaken the office : of secretary. [ There are ominous reports to-dav of ! greater hardships in store for Belgium, greater strain upon endurance alreadv so desperately taxed. Stimulated by this knowledge It is certainly our privilege and. may I not add, our duty to appeal to Americans doubly blessed in their peaceful Isolation and detachment from the vortex of horrors and bloodshed and agony of the battlefields of Europe to help those who are too poor to help themselves? This year, as last, our Dollar Christ mas Fund Is In complete sympathy with every other appeal in behalf of Belgian destitute and differs from other appeals only in the sense that the total sum received will be forwarded as a special Christmas contribution from the peo ple of this country to the destitute peo ple of Belgium, an expression of sym pathy with sorrow from one people to another and a tangible proof that Chris mas good will, even in these days of strife and bloodshed has not disappear ed fom earth. If, as many have forecasted. Belgians have heights of sacrifice and martyr dom so far unattained to scale this winter we can at least ensure that th* old men, the frail women, the little children—many of them "orphans of ■war"—shall not go unshod. And with out your aid.' as we know, the bare- I footed In Belgium this winter will be the rule rather than the exception. I ask therefore with great earnestness that you send along your dollar bill— and send more if you can! All corftrl butlons should he addressed to the treasurer and each will be promptly ac knowledged. HENRY CLEWS, Treasurer. Dollar Christmas Fund for Destitute Belgians. Broad Street.

BOSTON ROOTERS CHEER VICTORS No Banquet For Red Sox Champions Is Request of President Lannin Special to The Telegraph Boston, Mass., Oct. 14.—The word that this city had again become the home of the world's baseball cham pions, though greeted with noisy demonstrations-ln front of every bulle tin board, was received with mixed feelings by a multitude of enthusiasts. The victory of the Red Sox was a popular one, and Lewis and Hooper, heroes of the contest, were especially applauded, but, through the street crowds was voiced again and again during the gnjne the wish that the teams might return here for another contest. The termination of the series in Philadelphia will make noeessary a return of $70,000 to seat holders by the management of the Boston club. This sum has been paid in for reser vations for a possible third game here. Plans for returning the money to the ticket purchasers will be announced later. Proposals to celebrate the Red Sox victory by a banquet at which the players would be guests were discussed In several quarters, but under limi tations caused by a request of Presi dent Lannin that there be no such observance. Mayor Curley after the Red Sou had won, said that his intention to celebrate the victory with a banquet was abandoned out of deference to the wishes of the club president. Mr. I.annin had told him, the mayor said, that he members of the team probably would not remain together If they gained the title in Philadelphia, al though they would have to meet later to start on the trip west.
