The 3-year-old pacing colt record was set in the Tennessee, in which Frisco June took the last two heats in fast time, having finished last in the first mile. She was driven by W. W. Fleming. Peter Manning, favorite, took the Castleton cup for 2:07 trotters in straight heats. Best time, 2:03. The contest developed in the Ten nessee was considered by horsemen to be the best ever paced by a 3-yar-old horse. The times for the three heats are the fastest on record for 3-year-old pacers.

The thor oughbred horse championship of the continent rests tonight on the Amer ican side of the border. Man o' War, the great 3-year-old of the year, galloped home with the equine honors of 1320 at Kenilworth Jackey club track this afternoon, a full eight lengths in front of Sir Bar ton, the great 4-year-old from Com mander J. K. L. Ross' stables. The time was 2:03, more than a full sec ond faster than the old Canadian rec ord for the distance. .Samuel D. Riddle of Philadelphia, owner of the victor, is richer tonight by the purse of $75,000 and a gold cup valued at J5000. The race was over a course of a mile and a quarter at weight for age, the winner carrying 120 pounds to the loser's 126. A $2 ticket on the win ner paid $2.10. Attendance Is 29,000. Between 29,000 and 30,000 persons paid to see the two great horses race, the attendance figures and gate re ceipts setting a new high mark in the history of Canadian racing. The time, 2:03 flat, was more than a second slower than the record of both horses. Sir Barton has a mark of 2:01 4-5, which was later tied by Man o' War. The slow time was partly due to the fact that the victor was never In danger from the time he took the lead at the first sixteenth pole. Sir Baron drew the rail and was away with a jump, but the lead was shortlived. Jockey Clarence Jvummer sent Man o War alongside and then ahead. When the stands were reached at the end of the first quarter the Riddle horse had a two lengths' lead. Frankie Keogh, who had the mount on the Canadian horse as the result of a last-minute change, when Com mander Rose withdrew Jockey Earle Sande. rode a hard race, but was un able to cut down that distance. Man o' War Kept In Check. Kurnmer kept Man o' War in check to the three-quarter pole, then let out a wrap and the great 3-year-old re sponded with a burst of speed that left Sir Barton eight lengths behind before the stretch was reached. The I MRS. last quarter mile down the stretch was an easy gallop with Kurnmer visibly easing up his mount. Thousands of race fans surged onto the track as the victor cantered back to the judges' stand for the weighing in and treated him to all the homage due the new king of the turf. Sur rounded by his admirers, Man o' War posed for the movie cameras and ac cepted the huge gold cup from the hands of Mr. Riddle. With the curi osity of the race fans satisfied, the big chestnut horse trotted back to his private bungalow and went into re tirement surrounded by his retinue of servants. His special railroad car was held in readiness to carry him back to the home stable. Result Is N Surprise. The result of the race was no sur prise to track followers, who had held the American horse a heavy favorite, despite the facf, that his racing ex perience is a year shorter than that of Sir Barton. The sudden decision of Commander Ross to displace Jockey Earle Sande, the riding ace of his stables, as an nounced in a cryptic message to the press stand shortly after noon, was the one sensation of the race. Sande was considered the premier horseman of the Canadian's camp, and In fact Clarence Kurnmer, who rode the winner, and on whom Ross had first call, was released by Sir Bar ton's owner that he might ride the Riddle horse. In his announcement of the change to Keogh Commander Ross explained that "Sande is not in good form, as his recent performances will show." "My action is taken without preju dice to Sande, and I am only exer cising my prerogative as owner of Sir Barton." The new champion raced his last race today, according to a previous announcement by Mr. Riddle, which stated that Man o' War would be re tired for breeding purposes after this season. In his two years on the track. however, he has piled up for his owner a fortune that far surpasses the total won by any other American horse. With today's purse and cup his win nings total more than $250,000, as compared to the $199,550 won by Dom ino in three years. Man o' War was purchased by Mr. Riddle from Major August Belmont as a yearling for $5000. He has been beaten but once.

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman. Oct. 12. (Special.) With the annual gridfron classic with the University of Idaho less than a week in the offing. Coach Welch's Cougars today rehearsed for three hours on the rain-soaked surf of Rogers field. The squad is none the worse for the clash with the Gonzaga team Satur day and the eleven will take the field against the Idahoans with every play er in fine fettle and keyed for the occasion. The battle with Idaho promises to be one of the fiercest contested af fairs of the season. The Moscow institution has not won a contest from the State college since 1914. Idaho has been practicing .behind closed gates for ten days and nothing Is known here of their strength, for they have not appeared in a battle this season. Eldon Jenne, last season a star punter on the Cougar squad, has at last appeared on the campus and re ported in football togs ready for prac tice. It is doubtful whether he will be seen in action against Idaho, for Welch has a wealth of backfield ma terial and Mike Moran is booting the oval in excellent fashion and easily excels Jenne In advancing the oval. Jenne will be used later in JLhe sea son, when he is in better condition. Moe Sax, the quarterback find from Portland, will direct the team's play in the Idaho game with Curly Skadan ready to replace him should he find the going too hard. Two special trains have been en gaged to carry the entire student body to Moscow Friday afternoon to the contest. Although the game with the Oregon Aggies here on November 13 is to be the annual homecoming for all alumni, nevertheless the Idaho game this season is creating more than usual interest and enthusiasm. 3IAYS LOW GOLFER Card of 113 Wins Qualifying Round of Waverley Meet.

OREGON FOOTBALL TEAM TO WORK BEHIND BARRED GATES. 4 Two Weeks of Drilling on New IMuys Listed for Eugene Grid iron Warriors by Coach. BT DICK SHARP. Set yourself for five battles tonight at the Miiwaukie arena, providing that some of the maulers slated to swing into action do not break any legs or arms this afternoon whillng away their time waiting for the gong. Johnny McCarthy, . the San Fran cisco slugger of fame, will try and slam his way to a decision over Har vey Thorp of Kansas City in the main event of ten rounds. Muff Bronson, Portland's most pop ular lightweight, who has never failed to give the fans a run for their shek els, will tangle with Eddie Shannon. the Los Angeles mittman, in the eight-round semi-windup. Dick Morris, a punch absorber who can take more on the point than Ping Bodie will entertain Johnny lske in the top six-round special. Jack Berry, the most likely looking youngster that has battled at the Miiwaukie arena since its opening. will take up where he left off in his career after beating Nell Zimmerman and Carl Martin. This time Frankie Crites is his meat. Frankie likes to fight and they say he can hit. They are slated to go six rounds, but It looks like less. Mickey Dempsey will try and make it the end of a perfect day for "Babe Rico, a recent arrival from San Fran cisco, in the four-round curtain- raiser. Sol Levinson, boxing glove maker of San Francisco, arrived yesterday to second McCarthy against Thorp. Johnny is Sol's pet. Thorp has fought his way to the top by beating the best men in his di vision, and figures on his record to beat McCarthy, but on his record only does he loom as a winner. Take the two men side by side and judge them from the ability that they have shown in matches here. McCarthy would be elected the favorite. Old Scores to Be Wiped Out. Eddie Shannon and Muff Bronson have been achrng for a crack at each other for months to settle the ques tion of supremacy between them selves. Each boy has said a lot o' harsh words about the other, and a few old scores will be wiped out to night. Chick" Johnson, Harvey' Thorp's I manager, brought Dick Morris out I from Kansas City with him and Is confident that his protege will make good in his first start at the Miiwau kie arena. Tom Loutitt will referee all of the matches, with the first bout sched uled to get under way at 8.3C o'clock this evening. Sam Langford and Frank Farmer will headline tonight's fistic card in Seattle. They are scheduled to go four rounds and many of the Puget sound fans are giving Frank the limit. Farmer is in good condition after a three months' rest and al though he will be outweighed 10-or 20 pounds, he has a good chance. Marcarlo Flores, Joe Waterman's Philippine 130-pounder, will meet Earl Baird in what is billed as the lower half of a double main event. Flores is the biggest fighting sen sation that has hit Seattle in years and although a youngster and not polished boxer, he is expected to make a creditable showing against Baird. Harry Schuman and Willie St. Clair will box the six-round main event of a boxing card slated for George Shanklin's club in Tacoma, Wash., October 21. Aberdeen fans are agog over the scheduled six-round battle between Archie Story and Marcario Flores in the Grays Harbor metropolis Tuesday night. Nick Randitch, who is pro moting the show, looks for a sell out. Story is an Aberdeen boy who I is regarded as one of the best 133- pounders in the northwest. Carl Martin of Portland will meet some good boy at bis weight in the semi-windup. Toung Brown and Joe Coffey will battle four rounds in the main event of Friday night's boxing show in San Francisco at Dreamland rink. It will be Brown's first match since his fight with Johnny Noye at the Mii waukie arena last spring. -16 Hurt as Stand Crashes. JERSEY CITT, N. J., Oct. 12. Six teen persons were injured, seven seriously, when an improvised grand stand collapsed during the Carpentier- Levinsky fight tonight. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene. Oct. 12. (Special.) Secret foot ball practice has begun at the uni versity and will be .maintained throughout the season according to Coach "Shy" Huntington. A new practice field has been installed and no one is allowed near it but coaches and the players. Hard scrimmage is to be the programme from now on. Neither "Shy" Huntington nor as sistant Coach "Bart" Spellman. were satisfied with the workout against Multnomah club last Saturday. The team work was very poor, and none of the men looked too good. The game was a great help to the coaches in that it allowed them to look over all varsity candidates In action and to see what each one had. A few injuries resulted from Sat urday's game but none of them were serious. "Frankie" Hill received a "Charley Horse." and Bill Reinhart, Francis Jacobberger, George King and Edward Ward recived minor in juries. None of thewi injuries will keep the men out of the game for long, however. Earnest Hoisington, one of Oregon's best looking half backs, suffered a putled tendon at practice Monday night, but will be all right by the end of the week. Oregon will chiefly drill on new plays during this week and next. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene. Oct. 12. (Special.) F. M. Boh ler will act as mentor for the uni versity basketball team this season The athletic council last night chose Bohler as coach for the team. F. M. Bonier is a brother to "Doc" J. F. Bohler of Washington state col lege, who handles the basketball team at that institution. Bohler likes Oregon and says that it is the "most desirable college on the Pacific coast." He has had a good deal of basketball experience, having played guard with Washing ton state teams of 1912, 1913 and 1914. He was chosen assistant instructor in physical training at the university and will handle gym classes, as well as coach basketball. Bohler does not expect to call for the varsity men until after the foot ball season is over. Intermural bas ketball will start at once, howe.ver. He plans to have the inter-fraternity league begin practice at once. There will ajso be teams from the various military companies and interclass basketball. By having so many or ganizations produce teams practical ly everyone that wishes to play the game may do so. WILLAMETTE WORK IS STIFF Coach Driving Squad Fast In Prep aration for Chemawa. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Sa lem, Oct. 12. (Special.) Coach Math ews Is working his football squad at a harder pace than ever this week in preparation for the Chemawa game Saturday afternoon. The Indians are expected to present a formidable eleven. It is expected that no material changes will be made in the line-up for this game, for the regulars of the initial contest performed for the most part in a satisfactory manner, and none of the cripples will be able to I the world. play for more than a week.

Lewis caught him off balance with a hard left and almost put the Frenchman through-the ropes as the gong sounded for the end of the second round. Lewis kept pound ing him the last four rounds and Thomas was bleeding from the nose and mouth at the end of the sixth round, but had fought back pluckily throughout. It was Lewis' fight nearly all the way. Carpentier with his seconds enter ed the ring at 9:55 and received a wel come of hearty cheers to which he responded by bowing gracefully sev eral times. Levinsky followed two minutes later I and then the men were formally in troduced. Announcer Humphries stated that they were to fight 12 rounds for the light-heavyweight championship of injured ankle, while Les Day is ex pected to be out of the game for the season as a result of a wrenched knee. Day is also a guard and a letter man. A game with Albany college for October 23 is a certainty, according to Manager Bain.. This contest, which will be played in Salem, fills the only open date in the Willamette schedule. Duniway Park Issues Challenge.
