Lovers of Horses May Well Congratu
late One Another on Qreat Things
In Store Advance In Valuo
SO Per Cent
With the victory und peace following
the world's wnr, lovers of horses, nnd
especially of the thoroughbred, inny
well congratulate one another on the
Krent things In store for the American
thoroughbred, says New York Tele
graph. In the war the horse played no
small part, for It was cavalry raids
that routed the Turks, as well us to
drive hack the Huns on the western
front. This country has been de
pleted of horses lit for cavalry re
mounts, and the United States govern
ment has recognlred the need of tho
Improvement of tho breed of horses by
acquiring thoroughbred stallions of tho
very highest type und placing them
upon government breeding farms. In
tho years to corau tho United States
will hnvo n higher typo of horso for
every purpose.
Especially nro tho owners of rnco
horses to bo congratulated, for today
their racers have advanced In vnluo
probably CO per cent moro over what
they may have been considered worth
u week beforo tho end of tho conflict.
Tho reason for this Is that tho million
aire owners, who were In tho sport for
the sport to bo had out of It rather
than for profit, will now bo encour
aged to purchase most liberally of tho
best to bo had. Itcccntly one Canadian
mllllonulro paid 75,000 for threo
horses. Tho American sold because
ho expected to have his tlmo taken
up with helping tho government.
Three days after ho had sold ho wired
his trancr to Bell no mora as he would
contlnuo racing, und thnt trainer re
marked that ho would gladly glvo
$100,000 to get back the threo thorough
breds ho had sold for $75,000.
It now Is nsuured that racing will
bo resumed In Canada next season,
for tho Bport was only discontinued
for tho duration of tho wnr, nnd may
open automatically, without nny legis
lation whatsoever. Across tho Mexican
border nro two racetracks which wcro
closed down on uccount of passport
troubles. These both will be open In
another year, nnd because thcro wilt
bo great opportunity for thoroughbreds
to earn rich purses und stakes their
value must of necessity bo advanced
with their ability to ehow their real
worth In racing.

REVIVAL OF CANADA SPORTS
Ice Hockey, Baseball and Other Ath

Better Than Ever.
Revival in sports such as Cannda
has never witnessed Is promised dur
ing tho ensuing year.
Ico hockey, tho great nntlonal win
ter sport, Is off with ii rush. Clubs
thnt have been dormant since the out
break of the war uro reorganized.
Stnra u-hn linvo hnnn nf tint frnnf nnn't
wait to get out of khaki' before get-1
ting on skates. And at every match
the attendance Is already double that
of war days. The outstanding change,
though, Is tho new atmosphere. The
tension and nnxlcty Is gone, tho sense
of repression which made every sport
ing event crowd in war days solemn
und even mournful has vanished. The
real holiday spirit has returned.
There Is scarcely a vlllago In tho
country that will not hnvo its hockey
team this year; and In the cities they
nro forming by tho scores. Thero will
bo more hockey this winter than ever
before.
Already baseball plans for next sum
mer are under way. Cunada hopes for
tho first tlmo to ho represented In ono
of the big leagues.
Vnrsity sports will scarcely get un
der wny until the autumn nf 1010. For
live seasons the university athletic
fields have been deserted, us tho rec

war was a sweeping one.

All of Victims Were "Freo Lance"
Players and Some Had Only Lim
ited Knowledge of Game "Bad
Training," Says Stagg.
Football, America's great autumn
amateur sport, claimed tho lives of
nlno players during tho 1U18 season
three less than the 1017 toll, nlno less
thiui In 11)10 nnd seven under tho toll
of 1010. In 1011 there were 15 deaths.
Virtually all of the victlmi were
"free lance" players, not participating
In games conducted under college and
university physical direction. Some of
them had only limited knowledge of
Uie gnme.
"Tho flguros will continue to de
crease until fatalities In 'America's
roughest outdoor game' have been en
tirely eliminated," said A. A. Stagg,
tho veteran football coach nt the Uni
versity of Chicago. He added that tho
greatest menace to the gamo Is the
lack of proper training and proper
physical examination.
Tho dangers of a dozen years ago,
when tho old style, smashing gamo In
cluded hurdling, low tackling nnd vi
cious offensive tuctlcs, have been almost
entirely eliminated by tho new style of
football play, followers of the gamo
pointed out.
The list of victims follows:
Curl D. Snyder of New Philadelphia,

22 from a broken back; Injured In a

SEVEN GOLF GOLDEN RULES
Harry Vardon Outlines Regulations In
tended to Assist In Playing
Ancient Game.
Tho soven golden rules of tho golf
drive, na prescribed by Harry Vardon,
uro as follows:
1. Keep tho head, steady and do not
let tho left heel turn outward, then tho
body can only wind up when tho anna
go bnck.
2. Grip firmest with tho thumbs nnd
forefingers they nro not so well ndupt

of tnklng a strong hold, nnd they nro
tho most Important of all for tho pur
Pobo of tho golf grip.
B. Let tho club head lead, tho loft
wrist turning Inward, tho arms follow
ing tho club head, and tho light hip
screwing next.
4. Don't throw tho arms forward ns
you start to como down us though yon
wero mowing grass. Rather throw
them back, und let them como around
In their own wny from that point.
5. Let tho movement of tho right
shoulder bo stendy and rhythmic; It
should have nothing In tho nature of a
sudden drop or Jerk.
0. Dcm't bo afraid to lilt hurd; if
you aro swinging correctly, hard hit
ting Is uot "pressing."
7. Keep your head still until tho club
has struck tho ball.
When Boys Come Marching Home, Big
Catcher Will Be Much Worshiped
Hero Al6o Refused to Sell
Rabbit Maranvllle.
George Stallings Is nut with it story
of how he refused an offer of $15,000
for the rights of the Boston Braves to
Hunk Gnwdy. It seems tho offering
club figured Hank would be n big card
for It after the war. Stallings fig
ured he would he Just ns big a card
for tlm Braves. So there you nre. Any
wny the story of the offer for dowdy,
ns a Boston writer tells it, has- theso
features:
Stallings laughed nt tho offer for
Gowdy, despite tho comment, freely
offered, that lie wns crazy to pass up
such easy coin for n player In tho
trendies. But tho Georgian, by so
doing, saved the Braves thousands, and
thousands nf dollars. For when tho
hoys come marching home Hank will
bo a much-worshiped hero, nnd lie will
bring In many, many thousands of dol
lars for the Braves. He could tye.sold
today for ?2.",000.
Tho Braves had the opportunity lust
Winter to sell both Maranvllle,, tho
wonderful rabbit, who then wns In tho
navy, and Hank. There wero mag
nates smart enough to see thnt either
ono of them, particularly Hank, would
be a mighty Hue drawing card after

tho war. They were willing to gam
ble with the eccentricities of old man
Mars and take the chance that tho ath
letes would come through the big bat
tle for democracy In such condition
thnt they could hop hnck Into baso
ball and piny tho game with their old
tlmo dnsh and finish.
But Stallings, W. E. Hapgood ct nl.
wero Just as smart as those other baso
ball magnates and kept their clutches
on Hank and Itnhhlt. It was tho gen
eral opinion that the Hraves "wero
hnrd up" and would sell theso assets.
But It was n mistake, aud tho Braves
of 1010, possibly of 1020, will reap tho
advantage of Stallings' far-sightedness.
MYSTERY OF GOLF IS GREAT
Times When Player la Bound to Score
Well and Then on Other Days
He Simply Cannot,
Every golfer has days when ho Ik
bound to .seme well. No matter whnt
he does or how ho hits tho hall, the
result of the stroke Is good. Then
there are other dajs when, no mutter
how hard he tries, nothing will go
light, and II often seems as If tho
harder you try the worse things go.
Tho cuddle stands and grins when tho
hall that you I'ninily hoped would soar
through iho air and come to rest In
the fairway 220 yauls from tho tee,
scoots off along the ground and wrig
gles and squirms under a tuft nt
grass In the edge of tho rough, 40
yards away.
Crack or dub It gets every one.
What there Is about golf that it should
bo cursed with thin "now you lmvo It,
now you don't" spirit l.i hejond rea
soning, but It Is true of every golfer's
game.
What a grain! and glorious feeling
It Is when, altei ou hae lilt a coupli
far off tho mini; and feel that life has
no eliarms, you mop up to tin- ball, hit
it carelessly and It travels 200 yards
dead on the line nnd stops within n
short dlstniii'u of the hole. The Urst
two strokes aro forgotten In the thrill
which comes with the perfect shot
and once again the sun seems to shine
mid tlm birds to sing. Is It tho mys
tery of tho gamo that fascinates? Be
yond a doubt. And If once the mys
tery Is solved well, banish the hor
rible thought.
