Frederick Gebhard is the latest addi-
ton to the growing crowd OF Aperi-
cans who are ambitious TO win pounds
and glory on the English turf. While
most OF the others are content to take
part in the fiat racing. Mr. Gebhard has
announced his intention OF naming his
steeplechaser Olindo for the Liverpool
Grand National steeplechase OF 1899. to
the winner of which go the highest
honors in the world of cross country
sport.
olindo is looked upon here as stce-
plechaser OF rare merit. for he has de-
feated most OF the American cross
country cracks, and as a fence jumper
he has shown remarkable cleverness.
But steeplechasing in this country and
steeplechasing such as the Liverpool
Grand National calls for are vastly OH.
ferent.
The course of the Grand National -
over the stiffest sort of hunting coun-
try. across plowed fields and over
Brooks. UP hill and down dale and over
bitches and stone walls. The journey IS
a long one-about nine miles-and sucn
a race Is well calculated TO test tne
stamina of even the gamest and lon
eest distanced horse in the world In
this country steeplechases are usually
between 2lk and 4 miles long. and even
at that distance the field usually comes
in dead beat"
Mr.. Gebhard believes that In Olindo
he has the best cross country horse IN
the world. and that he can capture the
big English event unless the English
men are training better horses Tor
jumping than those he saw when he
was last on the other side Olindo X

they become stiff and are not so quick

Though handball Is known as an Irish
game. yet It's history may be traced
back 10 the days OF mythology. Ho-
mer's heroes knew the value OF hand
ball as an exercise TO improve the wind
and increase the suppTeness OF their
muscles and develop keenness and ac-
cpracy OF sight. In medieval times the
game spread over Europe. Tongue
paume. the French called It, One of
their kings died of a cold he caught
while overheated from his favorite ex-
ercise OF playing handball.
Not long ago a search I'm the ruins
OF Gurob. one of the most ancient towns
In Egypt. revealed a number OF hand
balls in an excellent state OF preserva-
ton. 1t was the unanimous opinion
OF experts who looked at the little
leather covered spheres that they had
been used In a game very similar TO our
handball OF today.

the beginner should learn is 10 strike
the ball properly. II wrong start Is
made. it is difficult to correct mistakes
afterward. The hands should be held
loosely and naturally, with the fingers
partly closed over the palm. This forms
a hollow receptacle for the ball to fit
into. In striking one must be careful
TO hit accurately. A rap on the knuckles
or the ends of the fingers will prove the
wisdom OF this advice. The eye should
be kept on the ball constantly, and in
returning the player should run well up
and deal a quick. sharp blow on a line
with the hip IL possible. The wrist and
forearm should be held quite loosely
and be brought around quickly with a
snap This will give a blow the proper
effect. Stiffness or straining Of the mus
cles should be avoided. Only by keep
Ing loose and unstrained Is il possible
to gather oneself quickly into motion.
Some players use gloves TO protect
their hands. but this is not a common
habit The best players never use a
glove or any covering for the hands. AS
they claim that control OF the ball is
lost In some measure by Its use.
There are numerous handball courts
I'm all OF the greater cities, but Brook
lyn excels all OF her sisters in this re-
spect In Brooklyn there are also more
players and better players than in any
other city. In one court In Brooklyn,
that of the retired champion, Phil Ca
sey. the wall against which the ball Is
served Is OF marble, and the side walls
are OF portland cement.
Handball is game that appeals
strongly 20 women, and many clubs and
gymnasiums have put their courts at
the disposal OF the gentle sex on cer-
tain days. Nor is this a recent inno-
vation Four years ago girls were ad-
