Many of the gridiron stars who have won
fame the elevens of the Shortridge and
Manual Training high schools have at some
time in their lives been members of the
Orchard football team. The latter eleven
is organized every season and is composed
of players averaging 40 pounds in weight.
The Orchards won the amateur champion
ship of the city in the season just closed
at the weight named and will doubtless land
many more championships in seasons to
come.
Captain Hezlep Clark of the Shortridge
football team, was coach of the Orchards
and under his watchful eye, they played a
wonderfully fast game and won or tied
nearly every game played. The hardest
fought games played by the Orchards dur
ing the season just closed were the two
played with the Anderson Juniors. The first
game was played in Anderson and resulted
in tie neither side scoring. The second
game with the Anderson eleven was played
at Capital City Park In this city and re-
suited I'm a victory for the Orchards oy a

ADVANTAGE OF SHIELD
ESTIMATED THAT 1T MAKES A DIF-
FERENCE OF THREE SECONDS.
Dan Patch and Prince Alert Paced
that Much Faster Behind Runners
Gossip Of Runners.

Dan Patch's many performances against
time this season afford the best line yet
obtainable as to the difference between
trotting and pacing records made in the
wake of a runner and those made without
this aid. After several unsuccessful at
tempts to beat Star Pointers long-standing
record of 1884 in the ordinary way the
runner was put in front of Dan Patch at
Brighton Beach for the first time and on
a cold, windy day, when his driver expected
him to stop the watch at 2Oz, ne ST the
record at l:5y. 1t was said the owner OF
the horse objected to this means OF making
a record. Be this as IL may, Dan Patch at
once went back TO the old way, and ior
nearly two months kept trying and railing
TO beat Star Pointers mark AT Lexing-
ton he was driven once more in the wake
OF a runner. and at the first attempt paced
by the runner in his trial at Memphis. he
paced in 1854 to sulxy. thus beating by
just three seconds the fastest time he has
ever been able TO make in the ordinary way.
AS Prince Alert's wind shield record Is also
just three seconds faster than his ''un-
shielded" record, IL would seem that some
thing like three seconds is a fair measure
of the difference between the old and the
new way OF making pacing records below
ZOO
The racing season has hardly closed. but
many horsemen are already trying to figure
and some of the other prominent three
year-old stake events next year. To base
their opinions on the two-year-old form is
quite unreliable. A great two-year-old does
not necessarily come back and repeat as
three-year-old- Some do. but there are also
poor two-year-olds that come out the fol-
lowing year and prove as good IL not bet
ter, than the horses which beat them the
previous year. There are several good ex-
ampies this year. Africander and The
Pickett. two OF the star performers of the
past year were very ordinary two-year-
olds. During his first year out Africander
