IMPROVEMENT IN HARNESS HORSES
SHOWN BY LOWERING OF RECORDS
Thirty Troters Entered the 20 List Last Season Opposed
TwentySix the Previous Year - Wilkes Produce Made
Good Showing Throughout

When the harness racing season os f3N
Rad reached the middle stage horsemsn
generally were Of the opinion that tine
trotters campaigning 10 the Grand Circuit
did not class with those Of recent years
Rather 4 poor lot OF horses our this
year was a comment frequently heard
among turfrren at the Grand Circuit meet
ings last August.
Whether il was because an extremely
la;e spring had prevented the horses from
showing their true form at the usual time
IN the summer may not be positively
known. bUt certain it is that until late
In the season the trotters OF 1904 appeared
to be an ordinary lot. while the competed
records OF the campaign show they were
decidedly the best ever seen in the Grand
Circuit.
In the last few weeks Of the campaign
sensational performances came thick and
fast. many horses that had trotted indie-
ferently at the early meetings racing bril-
Iiantly at the close. Though the average
time made at three of the first four meet
ings in the Grand Circuit was slower than
2:l9, that Of the last five meetings was
fast enough 10 bring the speed average for
the season down 10 2:os... a new low water
mark In harness racing.
Perhaps the best evidence OF progress
afforded by the statistics OF the campaign
just ended is the number OF trotters that
entered the 2:10 list In 1904. There were
twenty-sin additions to this list last year.
while the largest number OF additions in
any one year previous to 1904 was twenty
nine During the campaign now closed ro
less than thirty-two newcomers entered
the list. making a total Of 2s2 horses that
have trotted In 2:l0 or better since Jay
Eye-See first set the example twenty years
ago last August
The ability of the Wilkes triSs of trot-
ters IS eIaInplified by the newcomers in
the 2:1o list, nineteen OF which are de-
sce1ded in direct male line from George
Wilkes. and near.y all OF which carry the
blood of the old time champion OF trot-
ting stations through either sire or dam
or both. Only three Of the thirtytwo 2:1t

\ PREMIER BOWLER
Henry SchoIpp is president Of the Ries
League and is also its premier bowler,
having al average Of better than 1so for
the games rolled thus far. This Is fast
enough for the strongest league in the
city.
In former years the tenp:n bcwlers who
were not members of the St Louis League
or its Junior division, were usually found
rolling with private clubs. This has tax
en- a decided turn in the last few years
and mere interest IS being manifested In
the big ball game in the outlying dis
tricts OF the city. AT present there are
seven leagues. besides the ST Louis
ieagIse. and three or four more are be-
ing orEa nized
The Palace League Is rolling its first
seasons schedule and has developed some
very good bowlers. Like the baseball
leagues, some OF the major organizations
have begun to draft its players

has no very strong teams there are sever

their own in the fastest company.

HENRY SCHOLPP.

Growth of the tenpin game in bowling
circles, both locally and throughout the
country. has been marked in the last
year. Aster considering the good teams
nov steadily following the game in this
city it appears as II st. Louis ranked
only second TO Chicago in tho number of
frst-class players.
Two years ago .ile local division OF
tenpinrers included only members Of G.
twelve-ieaSue club, with a junior division
OF six. To-day. the number o: partici
pants runs well up into the thousands.
The st. Louis League, the oldest organ
izaticn OF this city. was started on a
handicap basis. but to-day there is no
limit to the strength of it's teams. The
Palace League, the next strongest Or
gantzatioa in the city, was formed two
years ago and at present its teams are
handicapped to 80 per game
This Is fast enough to make It a first
class organization. 1t rolls ell Of its
games on the Palace alleys, conducted by
Martin Kern. the national champion. The
Palace League has more members than
any other league In the city.
The smallest league in the city Is the
Ries League, which uses the Ries alleys
on Cass avenue every Thursday and Fri
day night. However small 1t may be,
its members are none the less eut.lusi-

on gas burner which. he says. will put a

1t is said by those who have made a

there have been 572 deaths caused bv IL

II plans of the athletic promoters ma
terialize. st. Louis will have plenty of
track and field sport during the coming
winter. Already four indoor meets have
been planned. and It is very likely that
more will be held. as the outlook is IA
vorable.
IL number Of meets are held, the en-
try list locally should be large, as many
OF the athletes would prepare to compete
IN three meets whereas they would not
bother about Sraining for only one con-
test.
While the lone Indoor meet Of St. Louis,
under the auspices of the st. Louis Uni
versity. has always been success. IT la
very evident that others could also make
their headway with athletics.
The annual meet under the auspices Of
this university will probably be held, and
Martin Delaney is already making prep
srations for the events.
Up to week ago. it was undecided as
TO where the contests could be held. but
Delaney stated that he has looked at the
West End Club and thinks this Is as good
r. Place as could be desired. although the
Coliseum. where the former meets have
been held, Is much larger
The Missouri Athletic Club will prob
ably hold an open meet in connection
with the club meets that are being ar
ranged. While it has not been definitely
decided. 1t is thought that SC the lead is
made, the NJ. A c. will follow.
Tho knights of Columbus are thinking
Of holding meet similar to the one that
is yearly pulled Off by the St Louis Uni
versity. Martin Delaney. being a K of C.
man, has been namea as the director In
case the meet Is arranged.
While they are thinking OF holding q
meet, the Knights of Father Mathew
will probably be in the field later in the
season.
-Four meets during the winter months,
and all held on first-class basis, should
make the athlete train earnestly for the
contests. and they would put him in fit
condition for the summer meets.
The st. Louis L. and Knights of Column
bus meets will probably be held In the
West End Club. on Charming and Easton
avenues. The floor is Of tanbark and the
seating capacity is large enough to accom-
modate a large crowd
The cost of board track in the club
ly that the tanbark can be rolled hard
enough to allow the runners to do good
time.
1t has also been suggested that a cinder
track be put in with banked corners.
1t is Delaney's intention TO have fast
track. whether II be board. cinder or bark.
The field sports could be held to better ad-
vantage on the bark floor than on the
wooden hoor. as the bark would more re-
semble the outdoor ground.
The meet under the auspices of the St
Louis University will be similar to the
former ones. although he intends to en-
courage more relay racing. He expects as
many. II not more. outside associations to
be represented In the coming meet than
in former years.
