Echo Direct Is Winner
With New World's Record
Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 11.—A new
world's record for geldings was
written into trotting history yester
day at the New York State rair
Grand Circuit meeting, when, in the
2 07 trot, Echo Direct, the sturdy
son of Echo Todd and Victoria Di
rect, trotted the third heat in 2.05%.
In the fourth heat Ren M hite
piloted Easton to a mark when he
drove the big roan around the
course in 2.06 thus bettering the
mark which had stood until Echo
Rirect's performance to-day.
Echo Direct was hard pressed in
tho third heat by Easton, and when
the pair reached the lower turn be
fore breaking into the stretch a
blanket would have covered them.
The final quarter of the mile wits
trotted in 30'4 seconds.
More than 30,000 people witness
ed the performance of the two fleet
trotters and when it was announced
that records had fallen there was
prolonged cheering.
Chief Interest in tho day's events
appeared to center in the three-cor
nered pacing duel in the 2.10 pace
for the Syracuse state of $3,000, in
which Goldie Todd vanquished Se
nardo and Frank Dewey after three
sensational heats In which the trio
of contenders fought for mastery
from the moment the heats were
started until the finish line had been
crossed.
The Ka-Koo-No. 8-year-old trot
for a purse of $2,012.50 went to
Brother Peter. The winner took
the first heat in 2.09% but finished
third in the second which was won
by lAttle Lee In 2.08% with Grace
Drake finishing second. In the third
heat in which only the four money
winners started, Brother Peter
literally run away from the field,
trotting In 2.09%.
"Irish Voter won the 2.12 pace In
straight heats in hard stretch drives.

THURSDAY EVENING,
FORTY MEN IN
TECH GRID SQUAD
Work Hard on Island Field;
Good Material For
T acklcs
Forty Tech High School football
players were on the field last even
ing preparing for their opening con
test two weeks from Saturday. At
present tho Tech Alumni Is sched
uled to play the Maroon, but It is
possible that tho Allentown High
School squad may be brought to the
city If the Lehigh counttans will
consent.
Coach Paul Smith Is again In
charge of the squad, and Indications
are that another championship will
be brought to Tech. The heavy
scoring backfield will again be In
operation. Wilsbach will be at full
back, Beck at left halfback, with
Llngle at right halfback. These
three players constitute the heaviest
scoring machine that ever repre
sented Harrlsburg. It is a possibil
ity that Llngle may be shifted to
quarterback, with Garrett being
used at one halfback. He was a re
serve last season.
Good Material
Captain Frank and Arnold remain
for the two tackle positions. "Snaps"
Emanuel, "Zip" Mallck, "Bob" Lutz
and Shuey look like good timber for
the. end positions. There is lots of
opposition for the gunrd posts.
Eaton, a Soph heavyweight; Mar
cus, Foland, Comfort, the Terre
Haute lad; "Bill" gleam, Hoffsoni
mor, Aldinger, Ellinger and Derrick
will have a merry race for tho po
sitions that are left vacant on tho
line.
Last night Coach Smith usd
"Johnny" Smith, the tiasketball
guard, at the center post left va
cant by "Vic" Bihl, who enters the
first year class at Bucknell. Reese
will also get a tryout at center, as
will some of the fine material.
While Coach Smith had charge of
tho back field, Captain Frank and
"Johnny" Arnold coached the new
linemen.
Much attention was paid to charg
ing. Two lines of players were
pitted against each other, on the of
fense and defense. "Jim" Peifer.
one of last year's tackles, helped
with this work. About the middle
of next week regular scrimmage.!
! will be held. With plenty of ma
terial, and a large nucleus of vet
erans, the team this year should
make as good a record as last season
when Tech cleaned up everything in
sight.

be Johnny Gill the 28th Division

with Gill; and Billy Eogan of Allen
town well known throughout the
coal regions as a boy who is fight
ing every minute he is in the ring.
Manager Barrett intends to make
the reopening of his club a memor

World's Series Ticket Sale
Undergoes Some Changes
Cincinnati, 0., Sept. 11. —The plan
for distribution of the world's series
baseball reserved seat tickets in
Cincinnati, if the Reds are partici
pants, was slightly amended yes
terday.
Under the original plan of allot
ting the tickets through the lottery
system of drawing, as announced,
the Cincinnati Club's officials had
come slightly within the scope of
the Federal law as it relates to
tickets or prizes of chance.
The necessity for the changes bo
came known when August Herr
mann, president of the Cincinnati
Club, was summoned to the Fed
eral building by FT-rst Assistant Dis
trict United States Attorney James
R. Clark and Post Office Inspector
Morgan Grlswoid, who explained to
him Just what was wrong, under the

The officials pointed out what al
terations would have to be mado
and which Mr. Herrmann an
nounced would be attended to at
once. '
"Under the change which Mr.
Herrmann promised to make every,
thing will be all right," said As
sistant District Attorney Clark.
"Everything hns been satisfactorily
arranged," Mr. Herrmann said.
"There is ample time to make the
changes in the club's plans."
