'POP" GEEfiS DRIVES WINNER
Wlmn . lU'ii+uiMii . !>rlve« .*'Tlie
llarvet<tcr" to Victory at
Detroit Meet.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 3.—The Blue
Ribbon meeting just brougut to a
close at Detroit was among other
thing* remarkable for gamcness
displayed by man and beast. Prob-
ably no other feat was so re-
mark ible outstanding as that of
Pop" (Jeers, the veterau dean of
reiusuiuii, who, although forced to
walk with the assistance of a crutch
and cane, mounted the saddle h**
hind • The Harvester," "Tliw Abbe"
uud the M Ac M winner "Dudie"
Archdale. The ovation tendered the
"Silent Man," on his return to the
stand alter winning the classic C
of C and later the M & M will
long be remembered by those who
were privileged to see the homage
paid.
(ieers, it will be remembered was
Injured at Grand UapidB, to bucIi
an extent that it was at first
thought ho would not be able to
team his charges during tho re-
mainder of the summer. The in-
domitable courage of the man as-
serted itself at Kalamazoo, when
only the keenest persuasion on tho
part of Mr. Joucs prevented him
from mounting behind Dudie Arch-
dale after her defeat in tho open-
ing heat of the stake by Gamar.
Speaking of Dudie Archdale
brings to mind that the little black
mare with the winning of the M &
M did something accomplished by
no other trotter in the history of
harness racing. Within the space
of lift ({fen days she won these $10,-
000 stakes., and in all threo con-
gests only lost one heat. This Is
bringing home the coin with a ven-
geance, and Frank Jones, tho
Memphis street railway magnate,
who paid $ IC,000 for the little
mare a few weeks ago, promises to
realize handsomely on the invest-
ment.
Dudie raced first as threo year
old, two years ago, and gave an
inkling of the great form she was
later to display by trotting second
to .lusto in 2.10%. Last year she
did not figure on the turf, but dur-
ing the winter she was sent to
(Jeers, who was in winter quarters
at Memphis. She was named lu
all of the rich Grand Circuits
stakes to which she was * eligible
and in her early work showed so
fast that Jones determined to buy
her. This determination became
fixed when she worked the Mem-
phis in 2.07 \i, and when she won
an easy race at Terre Haute he
closed tho deal.
The little marc is the best of the
season's new trotters and if too
much is not asked of her Ts liable
fo go through the season without
defeat.
Geers, who has made such an
enviable record, and can hardly
boast of a bone in his body that
has not been broken, is in his six-
tieth year and has had a career in
the sulky stretching over a period
of nearly forty years. His early
racing was done in the south and
it was he who first was prominent
in bringing the Hal family to the
trout. Back in the late eighties he
campaigned through the Grand Cir-
cuit with the now famous pacing
sire. Brown Hal, 2.12% giving him
his record to high wheel sulky in
a race at Cleveland, the record at
that time being the stallion record
for pacers. Later (Jeers campaign-
ed that wonderful horse llal Poin-
er 2.04%, one of the greatest pac-
ers of his day. For several years
tho "Silent Man" was head trainer
for the famous Village Farm near
Buffalo and while there raced and
drove to fast records such famous
campaigners as Robert J., 2.04,
Fantas, 2.06, world s champion four
year old filly. The Abbot, 2.03%,
one time champion trotter and full
brother to the Abbe, winner of this
year s C of C The Monk 2.05% and
many others. Direct Hal, 2.04 *4
was another fast pacer which he
took through the Grand Circuit,
the white-faced stallion being re-
tired to the stud without ever hav-
ing felt the sting of defeat.
Since the passing of the Village
Farm, Geers has trained a public
stable wintering at Memphis and
has campaigned such well known
harness horses at Highball 2.03%.
The Harvester, 2.04%, Baron Grat-
ton 2.03%; Shadow Chimes, 2.0£,
and others.
PLAYERS ARE DRAFTED
MAJOR LF-AGIFH ANNl/X 115-
—CUUTCHFR IS AMONG
Till) LIST.
Cincinnati, Sept. 3.—One hun-
dred and fifteen minor league play-
ers were drafted by the sixteen
clubs of the two major leagues when
the National baseball commission
met here. Of th^se the National
League secured G7, whllo the Amer-
ican league got only 48.
A little less than $125,000 wan
deposited with Secretary Bruce of
the commission to cover the drafts.
Previous to the opening of the
drafts, the drawing of the lots and
awarding of the players, the coin-
mission held a long session in
which they placed a bau upon the
contemplated series between two
all star teams from the American
league and thv National league,
that were scheduled to fiake a tour
of the country after the world'3
championship series was completed.
All doubts that the world's se-
I ries would take place were banish.
led shortly afterward when the com-
I mission notified President Thomas
Lyucli of the National league to ar-
range his schedule in such a way
ab to make the world's series as
early as itossible.
Among the drafts made by tho
National league are Crutcher of
Knid aud Davis of Sapulpa.

FOOTBALL A IIKTTKR CJAML.
Glenn Warner, (lie Carlisle Coach,
• .Talks of |lu New Rules.
New York, Sept. 3.—Glenn S.
Warner, coach of the Carlisle Indian
squad is much pleased with the new
football urles. The old warrior be-
lieves that they will result In a more
spectacular game and consequently
will be more interesting to the pub-
lic and less dangerous for the play-
ers than the rules governing the
game in former years. Last fall
Warner did a lot of experimenting
along the very liues that have been
covered by the rules committee. He
said that the forward pass would be
used much more than ever before
and now believes that open and
"freak" formations will be greatly
111 vogue.
There will be a tendency to do
away with the former efficient lines
of work of the quarter back, Warn
er believes because of the institution
of tho direct pass, but he does not
think that tho rule against tha
making of flying tackles will ma-
terially interfere with effective
tackling of a runner, because flying
tackleaf have never been so much
used us is popularly supposed. The
new rule principally will affect
tackles made from behind, in which
case it will now be necessary to
pull a ruhner down by seizing his
shoulders.
Warner is of the opinion that the
rule changes remove the necessity
of having to play abnormally big
men on the line and figures that the
athlete of ordinary build will be
best adapted to football, consequent-
ly giving a better chance to develop
strong teams th'an formerly to th"
small elevens, which have had their
troubles in procuring big men. Tho
Indian's teacher 4hinks"that football
coaches will have great opportunities
this year to use their brains and in-
genuity, possibly a greater chance
than ever before in the history of
the game, because most of the plays
they have been taught or have
used are practically ruled out and
every football strategist will have
to depend upon his own originality
in working up an offensive Bysteiu.

i's, and could soon hear their roar-
ing. The tall, thick grass was like
tinder; and if we let the fires reach
camp we were certain 10 lose every-
thing we had. So Loring, Mearns,
Kermlt and 1, who were in camp,
got out tho porters and cut a
lane around our tents and goods;
and then started a back fire section
after section, from the other side of
this lane. We kept every one
ready with branches and wet gunny
sacks, and lit each section In turn,
so that we could readily beat out
the flames at any point where they
threatened. The air was still, and
soon after nightfall our back fire
had burnt fifty or a hundred yards
away from camp, and the danger
Was practically over. Shortly after-
ward one of the fires against which
wo were guarding came over a low
hill crest into view, beyond the Hue
of our back fire. It was a fine
sight to see the long lines of leap-
ing, wavering flames, advance to-
ward one another. An hour or two
pussed before they met, half a mile
from camp. Wherever they came
together there would be a moment's
spurt of roaring crackling fire, and
then it would vanish, leaving at
that point a blank in the circle of
flame. Gradually the blanks in the
lines extended, until the fire thus
burnt itself out, and darkness suc-
ceeded the bright rod glare.
The fires continued to burn in our
neighborhood for a couple of days.
Finally one evening the great beds
of papyrus across the bay caught,
fire. After nightfall it was splen-
did to see the line of flames, leap-
ing fifty feet into the air as they
worked across the serried ijiasses
of tall papyrus. When they came
toward the water they kindled the
surface of the bay Into a ruddy
glare, while above them the crimson
smoke clouds drifted Blowly to lee-
ward. The fire did not die out un-
til toward morning, and then, be-
hind it, we heard the grand booming
chorus of a party of lions.—From
"African Game Trails," by Theodore-
Roosevelt, In the September Scrib-
ner.

TAMENESS OF A SEA LION
Old Ben, Weighing Half a Ton, Is
Often Met on the Streets
of Avalon.
In describing the Islnnds lying off
the southern coast of California Fred-
erick Holder writes: "The feature
which will •♦•ally amaze the wanderer
among the Channel Islands is th
tameness of some animals. To meet
a bull sea Hon weighing approximate-
ly half a ton on the main avenue of a
town. 50 feet from the water, is a pos-
sibility of a startling nature, yet I
have seen Old Hen, the head of tho
Santa Catalina sea lion rookery, on
Crescent avenue, Avalon, surrounded
by tourists who snapped their cam-
eras at him with Impunity.
"At that, time Hen could be induced
to come ashore when tho lure was a
fat, long-finned tuna, but one day he
climbed upon the wharf, coming en-
tirely up the steps, following the man
with a fish. Then some unreasonable
person made a threatening demonstra-
tion; Ren started for the step, lost his
hold, slipped and fell, smashing them
and wounding himself. For a long
time he remembered thin, but gradual-
ly his faith in human beings has re-
turned.
"He Is good-tempered and never at-
tempts to bito. Rut he Is a savage
looking animal, and when ho comes
leaping up on the boat, landing, driving
off women and children by mere
ferocity of appearance, and seizing
their flBh, as he did recently, he makes
a very clever Imitation of a ferocious
beast."
WANTED PAY FOR HIS WORK
British West Indian Who Wanted Rec-
ompense for Building Hla Own
House, Materials Furnished.
An English naval officer tells of be-
ing on a war vessel which took provi-
sions to St. Kilt's, one of tho Rritlsh
West India islands. A hurricane had
left many of the inhabitants In a desti-
tute or even starving condition, linn
gry crowds gathered at tho wharf, but
refused to help unload the food that
was to be given to them unless paid
for their work. A similar story sheds
light on tho Jamaican negro. Five or
six years ago a hurricane devastated
the island, and a large relief sum was
rnlsed, much of It in England and the
United States. The committee having
charge of this fund sent a wagon
load of lumber to a husky black man
whose house had been scattered over
the parish. He and his family were
living in a rude shack, made out of
odds and ends.
"What's that fur?" he asked of the
men who were unloading the material
In front of his patch of ground.
"That's for your new house," was
the reply. "It's from the relief fund
and won't cost you anything."
"Who's goln' to build mah house?"
"You are, if anybody does."
"Who's goin' to pay mo fur mah
work?"
