CORNELL WILL LINE UP STRONG ELEVEN AGAINST COLGATE AT ITHACA. President of tho Pittsburg Club, Who Is Close to Fraedman, the Fears of the Local Fans at Rest the Brooklyn club's share. I have not (Special to the Eagle.) Pittsburg, September 28 Much has been written anent the probable location of the Brooklyn club next year.

It has been sent to 'Washington times innumerable, a berth has been provided tor the city in the American and Eastern Leagues, while, on other occasions, it has been scattered to the four winds and wiped off the base ball map altogether. The fact is that Brooklyn will be in the National League next year and as big a factor in the pennant race as ever. No less a personage than President Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg Club is authority for this assertion. As owner of the championship team Mr. Dreyfuss carries considerable weight, but, as a close supporter of Freedman, his remarks to the Eagle correspondent last night may be taken as an absolute forecast of what Is to come, "The league will not be dissolved at the coming meeting," said Mr.

Dreyfuss, "the eight clubs now comprising the organization will remain intact. It is only the Indianapolis agreement, made In 1891, which will be withdrawn. The only change which will be made is to adopt a resolution making a three fourths vote necessary to alter league conditions, instead of a unanimous vote, as now exists. "We could not force Brooklyn out it we wanted to. In the first place, where could we place the club If we wanted to make the change? Nowhere, so far as I can see.

In the second place, we cannot drop it without charges and the Brooklyn club has violated no rules or regulations. "If we threw the Brooklyn club out it could hold up the league in the courts, not only on its rights as a member, but also because the league still owes Brooklyn for the Baltimore franchise. That debt has not been paid yet. It would have been paid had not Freedman refused to contribute his share. It will take at least two months of next year to liquidate SUMMER CYCLE RACING TO NIGHT AT MADISON SQUARE GARDE, Jimmy michaei, major layior Give Farewell The racing to ntght at Madison Square will close the summer season, and the now famous skimming dish will be laid away until December 8, when the annuai day grind will commence.

The programme will be made up so as to bring out all the exciting features of cycle racing and at the same time make the crack riders do their best in order to gain first honors. It will be hard picking to find out which event will prove the most interesting as three of the numbers are of the kind that will make history in the cycle game.

PROVOST HARRISON TELLS QUAKER STUDENTS TO KEEP ATHLETICS PURE (Special to the Eagle.) Philadelphia, September 28 The college year at the University of Pennsylvania opened at noon yesterday with an increase of 200 students over last year. In his opening address. Provost Harrison took occasion to severely reprimand the ath letic authorities of the university for trying to put Tewksbury and Baxter on the intercollegiate track team last year when they were not doing the required amount of work. The provost said: "I would not have a man on an athletic team as representing the university if he were not here fairly and squarely and primarily as a student, and went into athletics as a secondary purpose. And if I were you.

and knew that there was any one here representing the university upon an athletic team who managed to get in here solely because he was an athlete, I would get rid of him from that performance at least. And you will not be alone In the effort. And there is no student who has been here who does not know of all forms of college life in which we may go about matters in the same spirit." The speech was heartily applauded by the students. PENNSY WILL OPEN FOOT BALL SEASON WITH LEHIGH THIS AFTERNOON. (Special to the Eagle.) Philadelphia, September 28 The foot ball season will open at the University of Pennsylvania with a game against Lehigh this afternoon, and it is then that the followers will see a more radical variation of guards back than the Pennsylvania teams have ever played before.

The Red and Blue will have practically a green team in the field, and there was considerable anxiety among the undergraduates last night lest the Bethlehem team scor a touchdown and give the Quakers a scare as they did last year. The line up of the two teams at the beginning of the game will be as follows: Pennsylvania. Position. Lehigh. Ludes Left end Butlr Mltchell Left tackle Barnard Baird Left guard Kelly Jordan Center Burrows Plekarskl Right suard Hall Donaldson Right tackle Johnson Gardiner Right end Hemphill Howard Quarter back Dow Bennett Left half back Fuller Dale Right half back Sinn Davidson Full back Plerson The Quakers will have practically a new team in the second half, but in neither half will the team be at its strongest, as a sprained thumb will keep Butler out, and Snook's broken nose will prevent him playing.

The coaches met last night and appointed T. M. Howard, '03, temporary captain. He will act until the regular 'varsity squad is picked, when the eligible men will elect a permanent leader. Howard prepared at Andover and was scrub quarter back last year.

Gardiner was on the defenive all tiio time, but won much applause from the crowd, whose sympathies he retained by effective blocking and Bide stepping.

Gardiner seemed willing to mix It up at the start, but they had hardly started when Walcott slipped under one of Gardiner's leads and Bent his right to the jaw, putting Gardiner down for almost the full count. After this Gardiner kept away, but he never had a minute's rest, the negro's arniB working like windmills and preventing Gardiner from getting the desired opening for his hitherto dangerous right.

Pittsburg, September 28 In a see saw game, which was replete with brilliant plays and solid hitting, the PlttsburgB beat the Brooklyns yesterday by the close score of 5 to 4. The victory of the Pirates was achieved this time entirely on merit, the Champions being outgeneraled in the hottest kind of a struggle, which brought forth the best there was In both teams.

The Pirates proved that they are real champions by playing steadily in the face of Im pending defeat, and winning out at the last. It was one of the hottest fought contests of the year on the local grounds, an ideal strug gle between the present and future cham pionB, and the crowd of 4,000 was keyed up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm through out. Twice the score was tied. Then the visitors forged ahead, only to be passed again by the home team. The margin of lead was always of the nar rowest, and the game was not decided until the last man was out.

Brooklyn was the first to score, Daly start ing the' second inning with a double. After Dahlen had beaten out a bunt, however, Daly was forced at the plate by Irwin. Kitson brought Dahlen in with a slashing single to right. The Pirates tied the score in their half on single by Wagner, a steal and Dahlen's wild throw after beating down Leach's liner in a sensational style. Pittsburg assumed command in the third, when ZImmer scored on his single, Phillips' sacrifice, an out and Beaumont's scratch hit.

Brooklyn tied the score again in the sixth on Kelley single, a steal and Dahlen timely hit. The Hanlon men forged ahead In the sev enth, when Kitson's bunt, Wagner's fumble of Keeler's grounder, and hits by Sheckard and Dolan scored two runs. Faulty base running by Sheckard and Dolan probably prevented more runs. The Pittsburgs won the game in the eighth. Davis led off with a triple to deep He would have circled the bases but for the fact I that he stumbled between second and third.

Clark got a free pass, but, on Beaumont's grounder to Kitson, Davis was nailed at the plate. The other two runners moved up during the play and scored on Wagner's single to center. wagner took second on Dolan fumble and scored the winning run on Bransfleld's sale hit to left. Brooklyn died hard in the ninth. Irwin was safe on Burke's fumble and Farrell singled to right.

Kitson bunted lust within Zimmer's reach and Irwin was forced at third. Keeler filed to Wagner and Sheckard sent. a grounder to Ritchey, forcing Kitson at sec ond. Kitson and Phillippe were about equally effective, each allowing ten hits. Kitson gave tne only Dase on balls, and this, as usual proved costly.

Dahlen played sensational ball at short while Burlte did clever work for Pittsburg Burke succeeded Leach, who twisted his ankle running to first base in the second inning. Kitson left for his home in Michigan last night and he will probably not rejoin the team tins season. McGuire will quit at Chicago to morrow. Gochnaur will play short in place of Dahlen against the Remnants to morrow afternoon. MAXWELL STEVENSON NOT SERIOUSLY HURT BY FALL Report That Polo Player Was Badly Injured at Meadowbrook Is Denied.

(Special to the Eagle.) Hempstead. Ij. September 28 Maxwell Stevenson, the brother of Mrs. James L. Kernochan, had a bad fall while playing polo at the grounds of the Meadowbrook Hunt Club yesterday afternoon.

In making a sharp turn his pony crossed his legs and fell, throwing his rider heavily and stunning him. He recovered in a short time, however, and was not seriously hurt. On Saturday night he will give a farewell bachelor dinner at Sherry's before his approaching wedding, which will take place shortly. He will marry Miss Livingston. LARRY IS FOTJND.

King of Retrievers Returns to Hi Home at Dexter Park. Larry has returned. Larry is a setter dog and Is looked upon as the king of all the retrievers at the Dexter Park trap shooting grounds and it is a question whether his equal can be found on Long Island. Larry, Jees and the other dogs are left in the sole charge of Henry Clay Zipperian, who is Known to.au tne snooters as Zip. Zip is a walking encyclopedia on the game laws of this state and can tell in a moment when the open season for this or that kind of game is due.

Strange to say, however, he never fired a gun. Larry managed to get out of the park the other day and started out for a ramble. When he was misaed, the police of the Jamaica precinct were notified and Captain Hickman's best sleuths were put on the case. Zip drove all over the country in a buggy looking for Larry and yesterday he struck good luck without knowing it. An he was drlying slowly aloug Fresh Pond road he was hailed by his friend, Dohn Little, a farmer.

Zip told the story of the loss of Larry. Then Little told him that neighbor had made him a present of a setter dog and offered him to Zip. "No, no." replied Zip, "1 don't want any more work at training dogs and nono could ever fill Larry's place." To oblige Little. Zip took a look at the dog and at once pronounced him a mongrel. The farmer differed with him and finally induced Zip to take the dog and see what he could do with him.

The dog was placed in the buggy and Zip drove for Dexter Park. As he turned out of Fresh Pond road Into Jamaica avenue Zip was surprised to see the dog Jump out of the wagon and run like mad. Zip whipped up the horse, but the dog kept the lead. At Dexter Park tbo dog ran up on the porch and Into the hotel and was immediately welcomed as the lost Larry by a dozen who knew him. Zip reached the scene a minute later and when he saw how blind he had been he held his peace and modestly accepted the congratulations heaped upon him for bin recovery of Larry.

WOMAN'S NATIONAL GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP WILL DEVELOP INTERCITY RIYALII London, September 28 The Field, which thinks that "past experience should have taught the advisability at this time of the year of starting the races earlier in the day, so as to minimize the chances of a breeze falling off," says: "Although It would be imprudent to form hasty deductions from the result of a fiuky and Inconclusive trial, it is impossible to disguise the fact that during the time when the wind was fairly reliable the performance of the Shamrock II. was distinctly disappointing to her supporters. "For our own part we must admit that she performed quite as well as we expected in the uncomfortable swell which prevailed." "To be seen at her best the Shamrock II needs a light wind and smooth water." The Field quotes the opinion of C. P. Clayton of Southampton, tnat tne main miestion at issue between the Shamrock II and the Columbia is whether the extra sail area of the former will be sufficient to overcome the extra wetted surface in her Mr.

Clayton suggests tnat the additional wetted surface Is about 200 square rof nnrl exrjresses the opinion that, while sailing to the windward, the Columbia, with her small surface, will be successful, and that the extra sail of the Shamrock II will only avail her when running free. In conclusion the Field says: 'We cannot help feeling that victory will rest with the vessel having the more moderate form of body and lines better suited to sailing in a rolling sea and a fairly fresh wind."

L. September 28 Justice Keogh, who has been holding court here this week, left yesterday afternoon for hfs Brooklyn home. To day he will be the guest of Sir Thomas Lipton on the latter's steam yacht Erin to watch the international yacht race. tates the use of a small stop to overcome the confusion of the marginal rays caused by the extreme curves. Thus extreme width of angle is always acquired by sacrificing speed and illumination.

In the new anastigmatic lenses speed and width of angle are combined to a much greater degree than was possible in the older constructions, for the reason that in the latter the curvature of the field and the confusion of the marginal rays caused by astigmatism made it impossible to use a large aperture, while in the anastigmatic lenses both of these difficulties are overcome and a sharp image is obtained with a large opening. A contemporary gives the following formula for sensitizing ivory: Water 10 parts Silver nitrate 3 parts Uranium nitrate 30 parts Alcohol (Atwood's patent) 100 parts Apply this solution to the ivory with a camel's hnlr brush. After sensitizing the Ivory should be thoroughly dried in the dark. Care should be taken to apply the coating evenly, so that a fine grain will result. The printing is done In daylight by contact, the same as a printing out paper.

The image is fixed by immersing in a weak bath of nitric acid, after which the ivory is washed In clean water and dried. This method pioduces some excellent results. The chief precaution to be observed is to have the ivory perfectly clean and dry before applying the Bensitizing solution. Any grease or moisture on the surface will cause failure by giving a spotted image. Freckles frequently cause considerable trouble in taking portraits.

They are a different color from the rest of the face and show up in the negative as deep spots, which are often hard to retouch. Their effect on the negative will be very much lessened If the face Is carefully gone over with a powder puff Just before making the exposure. Any powder will answer, but yellow is preferable, because it photographs about the same shade as the freckles. Another good plan is to bathe the face In warm water for several minutes Just before the exposure is made. In extreme cases the face may be thrown a trifle out of focuB.

Where any cutaneous blemishes are involved, It Is best to give a longer exposure than usual, thus diminishing the contrast between them and the general appearance of the face. A luminous Ink for writing labels on dark room bottles may be made as follows: Oil of cinnamon part Phosphorus part Put the Ingredients in a test tube and mix by applying It is best to keep the test tube corked. A bottle will answer in the absence of a test tube. The following formula for restoring faded prints is taken from the American Annual of Photography: Crlorlde or mercury 5 grains' Harochlorio acid ...1 minim Water 1 ounce Bicarbonate of potassium 10 grains Salt 15 grain Hydrochlorio acid 5 minimis Water I ounce Remove the faded print from the mount and immerse In the above bath until thorough ly bleached. Then wash for an hour, expose to the light and redevelop tne image wnn metol or some one of the new developers.

For ordinary prints such a course is too bothersome to be practical, but when a person has but one picture of a friend or relative who is dead it is frequently desirable to restore the faded image at any cost of time and trouble. A filter tor varnish may be quickly Improvised by making a cone of some clean glazed material such as writing paper. Secure the edges with paste a short strip of lantern binding is better If at hand. Cut off the point of the cone so as to leave an opening about a half inch in diameter. Place a wad of cot ton in the cone and filter the varnish into a clean bottle.

The cone may be thrown away away ne kind lids. as. after use. in an emergency the same kind of a filter may be used for other liquids, E. Big Coups Made Over Victories of Bobs and Bessie McCarthy.

COCHRAN AND MCCAFFERTY OUT Interference hy Jockey's Father Is Re sented hy the Texan Owner. The ninth day of racing of the autumn meeting of the Brooklyn Jockey Club will be long remembered by the layers of odds as one of the worst of a very disastrous season. While only two favorites were successful, all of the winners, excepting King Hanover, were made the medium of strong support, and the superior speed of Bessie McCarthy and Bobs, which enabled them to cross the finish point iu advance of their respective fields, cost the layers a very large sum of mone3 Two better planned coups than were made on the aforenamed pair of thoroughbreds have seldom been carried through. It was on Bessie McCarthy that the ring lost the largest sum. The filly started In the five and three quarter dash for maiden 2 year old fillies.

In none of her previous starts had she finished in the first three, so. the layers, discounting her ability, laid 15 to 1 against her chances of winning. This price remained in the silicate slates but a few minutes, and at post time so strong had been the play on Bessie McCarthy that the best price obtainable was 6 to 1. The Ally ran In the colors of John H. Carr, a young Canadian, who has Wonderly under his protecting care, and that Jockey was astride the filly.

Carr bet liberally on his entry and a number of his friends also took his tip. so that when she came home a good length and a half winner there was much jubilation among her backers. The victory, however, was not easily won by any means. Under the vigorous ride she received Bessie McCarthy got to the front a short distance from the finish and responded to the call of her jockey in the gamest manner. Fortunately for the layers the even money favorite for the race, Early Eve.

ridden by Spencer secured the place, and they had but comparatively little place money to pay out on the Keene representative. Wild Bess, who, on the occasion of her only previous start, had not shown a particle ol speed, was third only a neck behind the favorite. When Bobs last performed he finished, in race track parlance, "up the stretch." It was his first start in over two months and he was plainly short. Yesterday, however, there was a steady play on him from the opening of the betting on the race until post time, and his price fell with rapidity from 15 to 1 to 8 to 1. It was no easy victory that Bobs secured and it was only in the last jump that his backers felt secure of cashing their bets.

At the head of the stretch it looked as if Elegy was a certain winner, while Somerset appeared to have the rest of the field beaten. In the last furlong, however. Mounce brought Bobs up with a rush and he won on the post by a head. Elegy was second, hall a length in front of Somerset. The latter was interfered with just after the start and O'Connor was forced to pull him up and go to the outside on the far turn.

This extra effort undoubtedly cost Somerset the race. Much surprise was expresssed when Cochran, who is under contract to John I. Mc Cafferty, was posted on the jockey board as the rider of Bold Knight, while McCafferty's horse, Potente. who was a starter in the same race, had H. Michaels for a pilot.

McCafferty has been dissatisfied with the riding of Cochran, so he says, for some time, and he further resented the attempt of Coch ran's father to give the hoy riding orders In direct variance to what he gave him. As the elder Cochran refuses to refrain from interfering McCafferty has decided to ride other Jockeys in preference to his own. Bold Knight was a hot favorite for the race In which he met Potente, but not a few of the ring habitues, not knowing of the cause which led to the displacement of Cochran, refused to wager on Bold Knight, and either played Potente or one of the other starters, or else stayed off the race altogether. There was no ground for the suspicions that the race would not be run strictly on its merits. Bold Knight and Potente got off in front, raced in close company to the first turn, where the former shut the latter off and forced Michaels to pull up.

In the run down the backstretch, Michaels, having made up the ground lost, retaliated, and Cochran. In turn, was forced to pull up. Potente was plainly the best horse and, when it came to a battle through the stretch, he easily disposed of Bold Knight and won eased up by half a length. Kinnikinic was third, four lengths away. Cochran is still under contract to McCafferty and the latter has no intention of releasing him from his engagement.

The boy will ride for William C. Whitney next season and will receive a salary of $10,000. Naturally, the boy is a very valuable piece of property, and it is likely that his father, In his anxiety to see that the boy does nothing wrong, which might place him under the ban, has been giving him riding instructions, which, while contrary to those given by McCafferty, will be less likely to get him into trouble. McCafferty has always been partial to winning with long shots. His is a betting stable and when a horse carrying his colors succeeds in winning the ring Is generally hard hit.

Cochran's ride of FenieBOle on Tuesday last, when she was beaten off, and her perform ance on Thursday, when ridden by H. Michaels, when she won in record time, has caused considerable criticism, but it should be remembered that on the former occasion the filly was used up in the innumerable false breaks which occurred at the post. Cochran on the occasion made every effort to get off in front, but when the start came, after twenty five minutes' delay, she was one. of the last to leave the post, and thiB, coupled with the fact that she had exhausted herself in the breaks, caused her to perform so poorly. On Thursday there was little or no delay.

Femesole was away from the post flying and none of the field were ever able to get near her. It is unjust to condemn a boy on one race. The work of Cochran in the saddle bu been excellent throughout the season. Ogden had to be a real good horse to win the mile and a sixteenth race. For a mile the two year old Fly Wheel led by from two to five lengths, and not until th laBt sixteenth did It seem likely that Ogden would get to the Belmont entry.

Stamina, however, told in the final drive. O'Connor at the whip is a very vigorous person and Ogden is a same horse. The combination was too much for Fly Wheel, and at the finish the black, white sleeves of Billy Lakeland were a good length in front. Ethics, the only other starter, was last throughout. O'Connor scored an easy victory on Belle of Troy in the handicap at a mile and a sixteenth.

The mare, who was at even money in the betting, laid well up with the leaders to the stretch, where O'Connor lot her down and she went to the front and won galloping by three lengths. Knight of Rhodes ran a good race under his impost of US pounds and hung on much better than in his former races. He was second a length in front of Tho Amazon. The play in the first race of the day was directed on Chilton and Pentecost, while King Hanover was so neglected that, from an opening price of to 5, he receded to Shi to 1 Xeither of the two horses so heavily played was the contender at the finish, as Turner landed King Hanover home in front in a fierce drive with Rockwater, who was four lengths in advance of Pentecost. Chilton started to break before the barrier went up and his Jaws got caught in the lower mesh of the barrier.

He tore through it and lost but little ground. He is evidently going off. as he did not show any startling flight of 3peed durtng the runnins of the race. The no recall system of starting wan used in all the races and it was unqualifiedly successful. Every start.

The race will take place on the track at Dunton next week. The focal length of a lens is the distance from the lens, to the point where parallel rays meet on of the lens. When a single lens is used in the camera the focal length is obtained by adjusting the focus on some far off object and measuring the distance from the center of the lens combination to the ground glass. This distance is the focal length of the lens and is generally known as equivalent focus. In the case of a double lens the focal length Is measured from the diaphragm to the ground glass.

Rays of light which come from distant objects are called parallel rays. In reality they are not parallel, but are so nearly such that all rays beyond a certain distance are converged by the lens to the same "point of focus. Nearer objects form a larger mage and a larger focus as they approach the lens, owing to the fact that the rays of light strike the surface of the lensatagreater angle. The various focal points formed by objects near by are known as the conjugate foci. These foci form the basis of the graduated scale, which is used on nearly all hand or snapshot cameras.

Parallel rays are marked by the letter on the scale, while the conjugate foci are marked by convenient numbers, which represent the different distances of objects from the camera. Thus It is possible to adjust the focus without the aid of the ground glass. The aperture of a lens is the area of the largest stop through which the lens can correctly transmit the rays of light. Depth of focus is that property of a lens by which near and distant objects are brought to a focus upon the same plane. It depends upon the concentration of the rays of light or, in other words, upon the smallness of the opening.

Rapidity depends upon the amount of illumination or the quantity of light that passes through the lens and the distance II has to travel before coming to a focus. Stops are the different openings which control tho amount of light which Is allowed to pass through the lens. Thus they control the illumination, the depth of focus and the rapidity of a lens. The area of each stop is usually twice as great as that of the preceding smaller one. The above definitions and explanations form the basis of the following practical rules: 1.

Depth of focus depends upon the relation of the aperture to the focal length and increases as the local length increases and the aperture decreases. Thus it will be seen that depth of focus is not the property of some particular makes of lenses, as Is often supposed, but depends entirely upon mathematical relations of aperture and focal length 2. Rapidity depends upon the relation of the focal length of the aperture and increases as the focal length decreases or the aperture increases. Consequently all lenses Vhich have the same opening and the same focal length are of equal rapidity. The only exception to this rule would be where the glass in the lens was slightly colored, which would diminish the actinic properties of light as compared with perfectly olear glass The' popular belief that rapidity, as Influenced by the size of the lens, is a mistake.

3. Depth of focus and rapidity are opposite quantities in a lens, and one decreases as the other increases. It Is mathematically impossible for extreme rapidity and extreme depth nt fnnu to ayI any iens construction, for the large opening will give great speed and no depih, while the smsii opening will give excellent depth but no speed. i. The focal length of a lens determine the angle of view which Increases as the focal length decreases, and vice versa.

In the proper sense of the word, there is no such a thing as a wide angle lens for all lenses which have the same length of focus have the same angle. The term "wide angle" simply means a lens which Is hichlv corrected, so that a sharp image is formnrl clear to the edge of the circle of illumina tion. This is accomplished by a greater curva ture of the glasses in the lens and necessi Curtis of Boston Give the Event an Element of Uncertainty. The reflection that the woman's national golf championship is now but nine days away brings to the golfing mind a realization of the fact that never before has it been so difficult to get a line upon the players In this event. It is known that Miss Frances Grison, the title holder, has spent a busy season on the English and Scotch courses; it Is reported that Miss Genevieve Hecker Is playing better than ever before, and it is said around Boston that Miss Margaret Curtis haB been much steadied by her year of play since the last championship.

Since the inter city Philadelphia New York women's team match, in the spring, when Miss Hecker defeated Miss Griscom, none of the three foremost woman, players in the country has met other players of knTbusrwRkh the championship at Baltusroi to begin on October 7, any reliable evidence of an improvement or otherwise the games of these three is entire ly 'g'suc.

SBUDIKQ HORSES ABROAD. Seasick Equines Are Given Frequent Draughts of Whisky. There are, no doubt, few people who realize the extent of exportation that goes on in the horse trade, but one has only to visit some of the large transport lines to fully realize that almost half the horses sold in foreign markets are American, and some two thousand odd horses of all sizes and ages leave their own country every week.

The Atlantic Transport Line has excellent accommodation for horses and cattle. It Ib an Interesting thing to see the stock being taken aboard at night.
