Trenton Races Are Poor; Officials Rather Sore 1 Trenton. X. J., Sept. 26. Only J three of the seven original entries in he $2,500 free-for-all pace race, scheduled for yesterday at the Inter- j State Fair grounds, scored for the j word when the race was called. Thu was an early closing even, the entries to which closed several months ago. , at which time it was thought so rich a. purse would assure a great contest. The results, however, did not come ! lupto expectations, as Roan Hal fromped off with the big end of the | rich purse as he pleased in three i heats which did not average much I better than 2.13. Horsemen gen- j erally and the management in par ticular were much displeased with the result of the race, as it was the j largest purse ever offered by a fair I association for such a race in Eastern United States, and should have pro- [ duced a memorable contest. As a matter of proof that the i horses could have paced much faster j and more closely contested miles, the , last half of the final heat proves, as Koan Hal paced that in 1.02, and the final quarter in 30 seconds, a 2.01 shot. Judge Ormonde was second in each heat, with Peter Stevens never a factor in the race at any j stt.se. The 2.14 class trot produced but three starters. Moho and Xellie W.. ] both from the Johnson stable, won j first and second money, respectively. Moho scored her fifth straight win in as many weeks; prior to that time | the game daughter of Mohonk had been ill and did not race. Xellie W. the contestant in this race, had also won five races this year. A field of eight well matched trot- | t-rs scored for the 2.18 class race. ; Mr. Oell, a Xew Jersey entry, won in straight heats, scoring a new mark of ! 2.17 in the second heat, forced to the wire by the Philadelphia entry, ; Joker D. Lake. R. S. J.. another s Quaker City horse, won second money ! in the race and was laid up in the final heat. "Pop" Kelchner Busy With Albright Team Myerstown, Pa., Sept. 26.—Coach Charley Kelchner yesterday devoted ( his time and energy to the correc tion of faults disclosed in the play of his Albright College varsity team during a hot scrimmage last night with the Scrubs. The fatter organi zation surprised the Red and White I team with both their attack and de fense, the work of Miller, Heisler and Hassler being particularly strong. Ball, at quarterback for the varsity, showed to advantage in his running of the team, his calling of the signals being both snappy and clear. The absence of four men who are on the hospital list, suffering minor! injuries, has proved a handicap to the first team's development in that there are but twenty-six candidates out and Coach Kelchner has but two elevens to work with. Homan, one of the promising first team men, willj be back again to-morrow. Coach kelchner plans one more scrimmage before the Carlisle Indian game on Saturday afternoon at Carlisle. Penn State Scrimmage Brings Out More Stars State College, Pa., Sept. 2C. —In a Bhcrt scrimmage with the second freshman eleven. Penn State's team yesterday began active preparation for the Red Cross benefit game with the Army Ambulance team at Allen town on Saturday. The Blue and White coaches sent the regulars through a thirty-minute workout, making substitutions after each of the three touchdowns registered against the yearlings. May, the fleet ■back from Dcjwningtown High School, scored first on a ffrty-flve sprint around right end. Conover tallied again for the varsity when he ran forty yards to the goal line. Dick i Rauch, last year's freshman leader, •who was playing left end, picked up . blocked punt and made the final score. The varsity lined up with: Rauch and Conover, end; Black and Tav ner, tackle; Czarneskle and Brown, guards; Griffiths, center; Wolfe, quarterback; Pond and Way, half backs, and Gross, fullback. COTFERKVCE CI.OSFZS The International Bible Conference, which has been in session at the First Baptist Church, Second and Pine streets, closed last evening with a recordbreaklng attendance.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, HXRBIBBURG TELEGRXPHI SEPTEMBR 26, 1917. ■ Tech will open her home foot'oall schedule Saturday. The opening attraction will he the Mt. Carmel High School eleven. Coach Ryan has his boys drilling for this contest and expects to start the season with a win. An abundance of good material responded to the call this fall and both Coach Rvan and Captain "Ted- Lloyd hope to fill the gaps in the team with experienced players taken from last year's scrub team and the rresnman candidates. The first scrimmage was held last Saturday, between the probable first and second team squads. Both teams displayed good offensive and defensive powers. Scrimmages are now being held dallv. In the above cut the most likely first squad is pictured below. n frn \ le ™~t tL r lK u t -,l he P ,a >' e ™ are: Front line—Ebner, Bafhman, Lauster. Frock. Frank. Brough. Bell; backlield—Beck. Wilsbaugh. Hoerner, Captain Lloyd (stooping). l ' ch , to regret of the whole squad. "Cyclone" Kelly, for the last three years trainer of the team, will not take charge of the players this year. Kelly has accepted a position with the Government at Newark, where he is employed during the summer, and he will be unable to come to Harrisburg this fall. Cvclone's pep will be missed by the squad both in practice and in the locker-rooms. PAOLI HORSE IS CIRCUIT WINNER Miss Bertha Dillon Hangs Up New Record on Colum bus Track Columbus. Ohio, Sept. 26.—One of the richest cards of the present Grand Circuit meeting was raced here yes terday. and before the $17,000 in | purses was distributed the spectators saw some wonderful trotting miles and two world's records hung up. [ Miss Bertha Dillon, owned by A. B. ! Coxe, of Paoli, Pa., won the American j Horse Breeders' futurity for three | year-old trotters in the fastest three ! heats ever raced by horses of her age and any sex. She also equaled the world's three-year-old trotting record of 3.02 H. now jointly held by Peter i Volo and herself, and broke the three year-old trotting filly record, made I here last week by The Real Lady, at i 2.04 1 4. Miss Bertha Dillon trotted 1 the last half of her great mile ol 5!'H seconds, considerably slowed up. so far ahead was she from the nearest cimpetitor. Early Dreams, winner of the Hos tcr-Columbus stake last week, re peated in the Buckeye 2.12 trot, purse ; 55,000, and reduced the mark for that stake from 2.05 V to 2.04>4- Lu , Princeton made Early Dreams step the last quarter of this mile in 29*4 i seconds to stave him off. The Savoy, ' favored to capture the Board of Trade 2.06 pace, purse $3,000, dropped the I first heat to Colleen before he squared i away and won as he pleased. Straight Sail had the better of Busy's Lassie in the deciding heat ot ! the leftover Chamber of Commerce 2.08 trot and won handily. The Real Lady was the only favorite that failed to win. She was a SSO-to-the-fleld sl4 seller in auctions before the race started. Lancaster Races Slow; Winners Have Easy Time Lancaster, Sept. 26.—The races at the county fair were devoid of any sensational features. In the 2.17 trot ting event Lord Oliver took the three heats easily, outclassing all the other horses. Dewdrop won the 2.23 pace without effort, the second horse being several lengths behind.

Which Is Ito say that Chick has reached the advanced and tottering age of twenty eight years. Twenty-eight years is not as old as the Pyramids. But it Is a trifle older than Holke is, and all things in the game are comparative. Gandil. compared to Holke, his Giant rival, is a veteran. He was with the White Sox seven years ago. has played with Washington and Cleveland since and is now back with the Sox again. It may be that some astute sightseer with an eagle-tinted orb can discern some keen difference in the comparative play of these two. We can't. fiekler nd ex P e^ e nce, is a timely hitter and a dependable in the job first class adjunct to any club, because he is always on 1 Holke is much the same type. He has been outbatting Gandil by a fair margin and is a steady, reliable first baseman. But he doesn't know quite as much about first base play, and in a big series this additional knowledge may come in tidily.

For com basebaU's history defense he is the greatest second baseman in tbis comparison was an all-time affair, there would be no argument. But ™ are other intricate spots to be considered. The Collins of Mackian days was a .340 batsman. The Collins of 1917 has been hovering around .280. To add to the complications of the case, Herzog has been in bad physical shape most of the year, has been forced to seek a rest and while he will almost certainly be ready forthe series, no one can say in just what uliape he will report for play. Tr , x IN CONDITION season . S av © one of the greatest exhibitions of second base at highest 8660 — exhibltion well u P on a P&r with oven Collins frivin^ t h? n „? arly seaso ". '"Jury removed a porUon of his 1817 steadiness, giNing his play an erratic tone. i If ~ H ,? rzog r e P° rts with all his pristine pep and fire he will be ready to gi\e Collins a fairly even fight. But even at his best the Giant infie'der isn't as dangerous at bat as his Chicago rival. Both men are fine base runners, both are eternally alert and both are more than likely to be at their best under the flare and frenzv of a cham pionship test. While Collins hasn't batted up to his average span, he is still one of the most dangerous athletes in the league for any pitcher to face, and he can still cover an abnormally large section of the plaving field. Collins sagged a bit in his last world series, back In 1914, but after the Brave avalanche struck the startled Mackmen a sagging movement was in order all along the line. - On a general average Collins has been at his best in tho post-season ! scrimmage*. On two occasions he has batted over .400. He has always fielded Well. Herzog's last world se-ries affair, in 1912. against the Red Sox, was an amazing combination. His batting and fielding were a scries of scalp lifting sensations. But it is hardly reasonable to suppose that even with a full rest Herzog can regain his best physical condition and reach his best play. In this re spect he is an uncertainty where Collins is a certainty. And unless Herzog is at his best the White Sox margin at second will be pronounced enough to give the Cook county battalion a decisive advantage. Taking all details into consideration, the Sox have the better of the debate at second—only a slight advantage if Herzog is in shape, but a big advantage if he isn't. Collins is almost sure to be one of the leading stars of the carnival. Herzog just at present remains a guess. (TO-MORROW —SHORT AND THIRD.)

Saturday, matinee and night, Septem ber 29—"Hans Und Fritz." Monday and Tuesday, with dally matinees, October 1 and 2 "Any Man's Sister." Wednesday, matinee and night, Oc tober 3 Charles Dillingham pre sents "Chin Chin,'' with Doyle and Dixon. MAJESTIC Last times to-day Five acts of vaudeville, headed by Clara Morton and company. COLONIAL To-day Emily Stevens in "The Slacker." Thursday and Friday—Harold Lock wood in "Under Handicap." Saturday—Earle Williams and Cor rine Griffith in "Transgression." REGENT To-day and Thursday Vivian Mar tin in "Little Miss Optimist." Friday and Saturday Wallace Reld in "The Hostage." A company even more brilliant than the hilarious organization that made the "Father" series "Bringing Up renowned through- Father Abroad" out the country, is accredited to this seasons interpretation of "Cringing Up Father Abroad," which Gus Hill is sending to the Orpheum this even ing. The company includes those that made the leading parts successful, and include John E. Cain, as "Father;" Blanche Newcomb as the maid. The mother of the new play is the popular Marion Benson. Another great favor ite in the company is the side-split ting Robert Rice, who in the piece ap pears as "Don," which in the text of the musicality is a metaphor for swindler. The chorus is said to be the smartest, youngest and liveliest of any of the former "Bringing Up Father" companies on tour. "Any Man's Sister," the modern melodrama in three acts, comes to the Orpheum on Monday and "Any Tuesday. The play tells the Man's story of the downfall and Slater" the reclamation of a young woman, and the story, it is said, is told with many thrills, with many stirring climaxes and with many good comedy points. It is a hu man play, in which some excellent types of modern life are depicted viv idly. The piece is founded on the fol lowing by Dorothy Dlx: "As a mat ter of fact, tens of thousands of wo men have 'come back.' They have re formed. They have retraced their steps on the primrose path. They have closed the books of their pasts and made of it a sealed volume." The I central figure is Madge Davis, a young ] woman who has come to New York City, and there has fallen Into the hands of a hypocritical reformer, who after accomplishing her ruin, sets her adrift to be the plaything of any man. Apparently none of their adven tures in New York caused more pleas ure to the committee of Chi '•Chin nese merchants who were Chin" touring America recently than their visit to "Chin Chin." . Even those of* the members to whom English Is an unknown tongue nodded and smiled and applauded as their brethren of linguistic ability ex plained the jokes to them. For the most part, though, they needed no ex planations, so much of "Chin Chin" is made up of sheer beauty of spec tacle and quick moving dlvertlsement. This really wonderful production in its entirety will be seen at the Or pheum on Wednesday, matinee and night, October 3. There isn't an act on the bill at the Majestic the first half of the present week that cannot boast of At the bright, snappy comedy. The Majestic Menards open the show with a comedy acrobatic novelty that pleases; the Valerie Sis ters jvin their audience from the start with their lively songs and comedy offerings; the Dining Car Minstrels furnish excellent harmony and intro duce a line of refreshing comedy; Rucker and Winifred score a hit with their big laugh producing skit, while Clara Morton and Company wind up the bill with a spectacular, scenic, singing offering thta Is pleasing. Theo and Her Dandles, a big musical revue, featuring the Balloon Girl, will he the headllner the last half of the week. On the same bill are Sylvia Clark, the Klassy Klawn; Delelr and Ter mini, in a lovely Instrumental offer ing; Maurice Freeman and Company, presenting a novel comedy playlet en titled "Double Exposure," and the Wilson-Aubrey Trio, comedy acro bats.

The Evangelical League opened last night with Interesting matches. Local pigeon fanciers will do their bit In furnishing flyers for Uncle Sam. This district has a registered list of 800 homers, and these birds all have records for long distances. W. C. Roberts, the local leader, will organize his forces and answer promptly any call.

"Bill" Coughlin, of Scranton, the veteran baseball manager and player, lias purchased a hotel at Scranton. He Is out of the game for good. "Whistling Bill" was one time a cap tain of the Detroit Tigers. John R.

Percy Haughton, president of the Boston Nationals, made a unique offer yesterday. The fighting leader stay behind. It is the mouthpiece of the nation. Emily Stevens, one of the most brilliant actresses this country has ever known, is the star. With the assistance of a capable cast and ex cellent photography, these have com bined to make a patriotic drama that Is irresistible. To-morrow and Friday, Harold Lockwood will appear in his latest Metro release, "I nder Handicap," a great drama of the outdoors.

Until a late hour last night no reply, had been made to the challenge. t Steve O'Nell, catcher for the Cleve land Americans, paid a flying visit to his home in Minooka yesterday. He highly praised the White Sox when he was asked to give his opinion of the chances the Sox have against tlio Giants in the big series. "I haven't followed the Giants closely this year, but I don't think they can win from the Sox," Steve said. "The latter club is well balanced in every depart ment. It has powerful hitters, great fielders and slick base rnuners/ The series, in my mind, will be hard fought, but 1 pick Chicago to win. The fact that they beat Boston and our club convinces me that they aro good enough for the Giants." President Johnson, of the Amerl can league, has decided to advocate a shorter playing season next year. He plans to begin the American League race on May 1 and wind it up on October 1. This means that the players' contract will cover a. period of live months Instead of six and that salaries will be reduced ac cordingly. The schedule will consist of 140 games instead of 154, John son's argument being that the uncer tain spring weather makes an earlier start inadvisable. When the National League club owners take this mat ter up it will likely receive their in dorsement, inasmuch as baseball ex penses in 1918 must be greatly cur tailed. Reid, one of the most popular male stars of the Screen, will be prsented in his latest Paramount attraction, "The Hostage."
