CONEY ISLAND STAKES.
Great Trial Event Worth $25, 900 This
Season.

Judging from the character of the stake
entries to the Coney Island Jockey Club
Juvenile events excellent sport is assured in
that particular branch Of racing. Reports
from the race courses adjacent to New York
are all to the effect that the inmates of the
great racing establishments are all doing
well, there being no sickness of a serious
nature. At this time last year there were
almost daily bulletins of illness in the stable
OF William G. Whitney, and the whole his
tory of the turf of 1902 was probably chang
ed when his splendid collection Of three
year-oids one after another was attacked
with influenza.
By far the most important two-year-old
stake to be run at the spring meeting of the
Coney Island Jockey Club is the S25 600
Great Trial. entries for which closed on
January and have just been made public.

Gates how fast the interest in racing is
growing and affords a guarantee that the
liberality of the various racing associations
in response to the suggestions of the Jock

AFTER YALE MEN.
Middies May Change System Next
Fall

A special from Annapolis says that there
is said to be feeling there that change
in the system Of foot ball coaching would be
a good thing. Some experts incline to the
opinion that Annapolis. unlike the army,
has not kept pace with the times in the
offensive tactics Of foot ball and that d
more up-to-date attack is needed by the
middies to make them able to cope success
fully with the West Pointers.
Princeton men have been coaching the
middies for several seasons. and 1t Is con-
tended in some quarters that Princeton's
attack is behind the times.
There are two players, either Of whom.
according to the report, the navy would
like to get for head coach. One is Chad
wick, the Yale captain last fall, and the
other is John DeSaulles. the former Yale
quarter back
Capt. Chadwick is considered the most
likely man for Yale's head coach next fall.
There is little doubt that the position will
be rendered him. and II he does any coach
ing that he will give his services to his
alma mater. De Saulles coached the Uni
versity Of Virginia team last fall, and sue
cessfully. He knows the Yale game. Yale
men have been prominent factors in the
rise of West Point to a front rank in foot
ball. '- @'.- ~ s-'t' t''f

VALUABLE GOLF BOOK.
Massachusetts, Man Writes of Scotch
Game With Unusual Comprehension.

1d1ue VIII OuuSua1 SOIupTeutuS1Ou.
One Of the most valuable additions to
golf literature is a new book entitled
Hints to Golfers written by a Massa-
chusetts man, who signs himself "Niblick."
It Is one of the most comprehensive trea-
tises on the game that has been published,
and, notwithstanding the fact that it treats
Of the popular sport In scientific manner.
yet the book Is usually entertaining even
to the uninitiated Golf Is discussed in
minute detail and with a degree Of clear
ness rarely found In text or reference
book on sport.
Balls. clubs and technical terms are con-
sidered in the first chapter. and the sub
ject is then taken up fully. The writer dis
cusses the use Of the sticks the stance, the
different strokes and various minor intrica
Giles OF the game. the knowledge of which
Is necessary to the finished player. The
conditions OF the wind during the play are
made the subject Of an interesting chapter
and the reader Is informed how to utilize
the wind and other unfavorable conditions
to the best advantage The suggestions on
the game and numerous Illustrations and
diagrams form notable features Of the
volume.
One Of the most interesting features Of
the book is the reference made to the men,
tai part Of the game. THE fascination
which makes golf the game Of all games"
says the author. rs because the mental, as
well as the physical, makeup Of the player
enters into 1t, no man excelling In 1t I'M
less his personal characteristics are a part
of every stroke he makes" The writer
divided the mental part Of the game into
four parts-carelessness, thoughtlessness,
lazineSs and nervousness. Under this chap
ter many golfers who do not understand
why they do not get beyond a certain pro-
ficiency may find valuable information.
The book is printed for private subscrip-
ton.

horses.
