NOW A RIVAL OF N. Y. A. C.

NEW YORK, July s.-Not sinss the
days when the old Manhs.ttans and
Kniekerbockers commended tooth and
nail for supremacy in games Of strength
and endurance has rivalry on track and
field been 50 keen as at the present time.
Never have the big clI.ss disSaayed such

so fiercely over the possession Of star
performers as they are dc.lg today. Tho
reason for the extraordinary activity In
evident
In the evolution OF sport in the last
few years the clubs have become more
evenly matched. and today no organi-
cation can be said to possess enough
star men to win premier honors without
the hardest kind of a struggle.
An Excellent Record.
For some time athletes of the New
York Athletic Club have had things
practically their own way, and In their
own line have been considered almost
invincible. Its individual members have
been decisiyeiy beaten, but whenever q
team prize Or point trophy was at
stake It was foregone conclusion the
palm OF victory would be awarded to
the clean-l1mbed runners from Travera
island. In almost every big meet OF
recent years the majority OF fnely-train-
ed youngsters who flashed across the
tape a winner in a cyclonic 100 or Q
grueling race of a mile. or who strained
their muscles to jump or hurl the weight
to victory. have borne the winged-foot
emblem on their breasts.
Not only did the pick of business ath-
Ietes competing in the vicinity elect to
strive for honors under the Mercury

which could offer them the manifold In
tocratic old body.
Rise of Irish-Americans.
Up to last year the New York Ath-
letic Club star was II the ascendant and
It's Iuster was undimmed. But since
then there has been rupture in the
athletic armament and new constei-
lation has arisen on the horizon. fully
al bright and as strong as the sister
body This galaxy OF stars which
flashed upon the athletic world was the
Irish-American Athletic Club. Many
other organizations are there which are
forcing their way to the front rank. but
1t would appear that the rise OF none Of
them has been SO rapid as that OF the
Irish-American Athletic Club.
Entering the realm of sport only few
years ago with athletes of little or no
repute, this club, by leaving no stone
unturned where the prospect of obtain
Ing good men was at all bright and by
dint of hard work and constant effort
has so augmented its ranks that today

Echo of Campaign in New York, Where

Undismayed by the thinly yelled
threat expressed in a terrorist" letter
10 do him bodily harm and to burn down
his handsome home just outside of
kenllworth. Allen w. Mallery, poesident
of the kenilworth Citizens Association
and one of the leaders in the prolonged
fight against the poolroom at the end OF
the II street. car line, has continued the
campaign with unabated energy
Apparently no effort has been made
TO carry out the dire promise to wreak
vengeance upon Mr.. Mallery if he didn t
leave that poolroom alone"
While the business Of making and re-
ceiving bets upon the races has gone
on without check, so have Mr. Mallery
and his associates continued their search
for ways and means to oust the gam
blers.
The skull and cross-bones did not
frighten the owner of THE Pines" and
he has frequently stated his belief that
the author OF the letter was too cow
ardly even to use the pistol or the da G.

Point for Citizens
Probably the most important point
scored by the opponents Of the poolroom
this week was the pronollncement of the
City Club. Of New York. in which John
and James Doe" made another expose
CT the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's race track information bureau.
This was a diree. outcome of the fight
waged against the Kenilworth resort by
citizens of the community and of the
publication in The Times OF the facts
OF the case.
Copies of this paper were, by request,
mailed to leaders in the City Club, and
On Friday the latter organization de-
nanded the designations of President
Clowry and other officials of the West
ern Union.
In the meantime the local opposition
has not been idle. New warrants have
been issued for the arrest of Messrs.
Wall and Punphrey, backer and owner
of the poolroom, and they will have
anethess hearing before Justice Behrend
at Chesapeake Junction on Wednesda.

If he can get land enough to farm in
this fashion and if Il strikes him us
more dignified and cornsortab BILE, besides
being equally or more profitable. why
should the American farmer break his
back raising beets7
That being the way he feels about it,
the Department OF Agriculture set about
70 produce beet that could be raised
and cultivated by machinery. The real
difficulty is not in planting or wedding
the beets: Rose two functions can easily
enough be performed by machinery. The
trouble relates to the beet's way of
growing.
It appears that what the unscientific
person calls ( beet seed isn't a seed
at all. but a cluster Of seeds IN little
fibrous formation that holds them to-
gether. Plant one OF these luInpy little
seeds" and each OF the half dozen
germs in It VIII grown up beet of is
own
In order to get good beets, it is neces-
sary that all but one Of this family
group be weeded out. and nothing short
Of human intelligence can achieve this.
This Is the sticlSir point with Mr.. Aris-
tocratic American Farmer He simply
declines to do it.
So the Department of Agriculture set
about TO produce beet with a one-germ
seed If that sort of q seed could be
produced the problem would be solved
The beets could be planted IN drills just
as corn is PLANTED by machinery. The
beets. placed at regular and proper in
tervals, ~o;ild come up singly, and could
be cultivated by machinery just as corn
or potatoes are
The task Of producing sueh a beet seed
was terned over to the scientists OF the
department and they have. 1t IS an
nounced, turned the trick The new
one-seedeo seed has not been subjected
TO all the experiments that may be de-
sired. but 1t has been produced. and 1:
is going to be q success.
When it has been turned out IN suhi-
cient quantities TO enable everybody &C
use it who wishes the beet sugar prob
lem will be solved and solved without
offense to the delicate susceptibi1fties
OF the farmer.

LONDON, July 8.-The weightiest Of
warnings has been delivered by DR..
James Goodhart, Ii. D.. addressed
both to the public and to the medical
profession, against the evils of treating
healthy hearts as diseased

in the course of his Vavendish lecture

Society at the Hammersmith Town

lit is harmful thing for anyone to
coddle his heart when there is no dis
ease, and I think we (tlle medical pro-
fession) are far too instrumental in
aiding and abetting this he declared.
Commenting on the way the terms
.-dilated heart" and heart strain were
abused, he said that the last case he
had was that of young man who COM
planned that he had strained his heart
while rowing three years ago, and that
the organ still ran away" Il he did
anything violent. The truth, however,
was that the man was a weakling with
no disease of the heart. The treatment
for it, If it cou'3 be adopted. would be
to send him rough riding over a cattle
ranch for q year or two, for his heart
and muscular system needed more work
and not less.
"One may well deal a little less ex-
travagantly with the principle Of rest.
l often see, as I think, this treatment
pushed too far. I see people absolutely
forbidden TO walk up hill, or exercised
in a bath chair or carried up and down
stairs.
