  Placed on the Shelf by Joe Patchen LAMENEss OF STAR POINTER THREATENED DISAPPOINTMENT TO THE CROWD Yale Football Players Given Great Surprise by Brown-Baltimore Suffers Another Defeat Associated Press Special Wire. Associated Press Special Wire. JOLIET, ILL.,, Oct 20.--Without any preparation for such trial, Joe Patchen the black pacing stallion, this afternoon reduced the worlds pacing record to four-wheeled sulky by nearly four Sec onda The record was established at ingalls, park before 1000 people who had been attracted by the announcement that Star Pointer would go against both the wagon and high wheel sulky records and that Joe Patchen would try to beat his own record of 201. A few minor races completed the program, but the attraction was the big PAGERS, and when it was announced that Star Pointer was lame and that Owner Murphy had refused to let him fulfill his engagement there was much dissatisfaction. But Mr. Marks, the owner of Joe Patchen, agreed to let the black against the wagon and high-wheel sulky records and this announcement was greeted with loud applause. Previous to this, after o’clock, the great son of Patchen Wilkes had gone a really remarkable mile in attempting to beat his own record of 2:01A Driven by Atkinson, he went the circuit in 2:02A, lowering the track record. Time by quarters was: 31%, 1:02. 2:322; 2:02al Several watches caught the time 2:02A. The horse was urged great deal in this heat, but as he did not appear again until o’clock to make his trial against the wagon or four-wheel sulky record, he was probably in well nigh perfect conditon for the latter trial. The wind, too, had died down to almost nothing and but for the cold atmosphere and the horses unfamiliarity with the vehicle, it being the first time he had been hitched to a four wheel sulky this year, the conditions for great performance were propitous. Oscar Ames was In the sulky in place of Atkinson, Owner Marks having made contract with the former trainer of Col. Taylor’s horse during the after noon. After scoring once Anles signaled for the word and away the big black went, with a magnificent stride and with the running mate trailing a length or two away. Ames rated his charge splendidiy, covering the first quarter in 321a, skimming along the back stretch with the stallion moving easily In 81. Around the far turn the PAGER faced the breeze. whatever there was Of it, but it was here that Ames urged him. 1t was here, too that the running mate drew along, and, responding to the call, the noble Patchen sped over the third quarter in S012. 1t was now foregone conclusion that the record would be broken and outbursts Of applause began before the horse was well Strengthened out for home. Ames knew the staying power of the horse and never relinquished urging him by voice and an occasional sharp crack of the whip. The result was the last quarter was made in S0A. the time of the last half being 1:01A, and the great PAGER fin ished strong and true In 2:O424 nearly four seconds ahead of the record The former record is held by w. w P, having been made at ST Paul in 1885. Joe Patchen was fairly tired after the trial, but nevertheless he was taken to the stable, rubbed down and prepared for his trial against the high-wheei sulky record. The general verdict was that he would not be able to repeat his record breaking, although the high-wheel rec ord held by Johnston is 2:06A, and the black would not need to go as fast as his mile to the wagon in order to win 1t was 5:15 p m when the horse came on the track hitched TO the big-wheeled 0ulky which had been made especially for Star Pointer. After two scores Ames signaled for the word and they Were sent away, the runner trailing as before. The quarter was reached in 321h the same time as made in the trial with the wagon but the second quarter showed a decrease of speed. the time being .O3sl The three quarters was reached in 1:35 fiat and the mile in 2:06%, half second short of the record. This, however beats the best efforts made by John r. Gentry this season against the same mark. During the afternoon Star Pointer was logged In front of the stand. His leg was injured at indianapolis some weeks ago and he hurt it at st. Joseph on October 7th. Another feature of the day was a trotting event in which the drivers ere vomen. Toxic r., driven by Miss Lottie Grimes, won the first and third heats and the race in 2:14A and 2:17%. Reuben S., driven by Miss Juanita Grimes won the second heat in 2:15. There were no other starters. LATONIA MUD DOGS CINCINNATI, Oct. 2O.-The track at Latonia today was deep in mud, but the sport was exciting. Results: Five furiongs-Conan Doyle won.

  A HARD FOUGHT CONTEST YALE DEFEATED BROWN BY A SMALL MARGIN. Brown Scored the First Touchdown After Almost Biggest Crowd of the Senson Present-Yale hooters Build ing Big Hopes. The long-haired Indians from Brown university yesterday afternoon came of Yale’s football team. AS it was, they practically played a tie game with the sons of Old Eli. The contest on the gridiron yesterday afternoon was a stubbornly fought one from start to finish, and until the ref cree called time at the end of the sec ond half the result was in doubt. Brown scored the first touchdown in just ten minutes after the playing began by a series of brilliant round-theend plays, mingled with several kicks. This achievement caused the spirits of the Yale supporters and rooters to drop considerably, and until Yale managed to make touchdown and kick goal the suspense was something awful. The score was then 6 to in favor of Yale, Brown having failed to kick goal. The threatening clouds Of the after noon caused many to remain at home but, however, the crowd was larger than at any previous game. Almost the entire new east grand stand was occupied. A goodly number of the fair sex were there to cheer their favorites. The Brown team arrived here from Providence at noon in charge of Wal lace S. Moyle 81 S., of this city. A score of undergraduates came up to urge their men on to victory. They took dinner at the New Haven house and then repaired to the field. In the first half the teams lined up as follows: YALE POSITION BROWN
