Much was done by the congress of the Ma
tional Trotting Association on Wednesday for
the betterment of the light harness turf.
Enough was accomplished 10 insure better rae
ing better control and better government The
demand for some reforms along certain lines
were not only listened to but acted on. and there
will be less opportunity in the future for scan
dals 70 arise, which work so much harm. II
the stewards OF the Grand Circuit would only
take the same strong initiative the sport this
year could and would be placed a higher
plane than ever before. The most important
changes, and those which will accomplish the
most lasting good. the appointment of
licensed starters TO act as general supervisors
OF meeting and watch out for any Irregular
ties; the barring OF the wind shield, thus avoid
ing confusion in the records; providing heavy
penalty for changing hopples during the prog
ress OF a race for the purpose of fraud; curtail-
ing the privileges of so-called record making
meetings; forbidding expelled suspended and
disqualified persons from all privileges and par
ticipation in harness meetings, and providing
that records made by horses will be considered
a bar unless made in race started by a IL
censed starter. The rules made to
correct evils which have served to keep the
trotting turf in more or less of ferment for
the last three years. That they will accomplish
the purpose in the main seems assured. If not,
however, more drastic changes can be made
another year. the powers that be have now
shown a laudable desire TO correct abuses and
TO make progress.

shs sectional associations and various clubs
which are planning 10 hold open tournaments
can make their plans for the season. From
now on announcements will probably come thick
and fast, as there is promise Of more activity
this year than ever before in the history OF the
sport in this country. The selection Of the
courses for the national championships has
met with the approval Of golfers, as a rule. The
choice OF the Englewood Golf Club links for
the amateur is a particularly good one, as
the course. when the improvements which are
planned are completed. will be quite UP TO
championship requirements IN every respect

metropolitan players and is near New-York and

made n plea at the same time for June dates

PROFESSIONAL BAsEBALL.

All is peace and harmony in the professional
baseball world The two major leagues met last
week and made few minor changes in the rules
and adopted the playing schedules for the sea-

members of the rules committee TO make any
change in the foul strike rule. This is cause for
regret, as the modification proposed by Clark

ELIGIBILITY CODES.

A long step has been taken in the right direc-
ton by the athletic authorities of Yale. Harvard
and Princeton by the proposed changes in the
eligibility rules. which will bar all freshmen
and members Of the professional schools from
the varsity athletic teams This will put an end
for all time TO proselyting. of the worst
athletic abuses. which has reached exager-
ated state in the last few years. PENNSYLVANIA
has also adopted new. short and simple code.
which bars first year men from taking part In
varsity athletics and Cornell Is likely to follow
suit. as at a recent meeting of the Alumni Foot
ball Association a resolution faYOring this plan
was adopted. There has been great and cry
ing need for reform in this particular line, and
one Of the chief evils which has beset football
has been done away with On general principles,
II does not seem right that any men in a college
or university should be legislated against and
prevented from representing their alma mater

play fair the innocent must suffer with the

Complished, but there is still room for more re-
form along the lines which the conference of the
big nine in this West suggested, looking to
the abolition Of professional coaches. 1t is not
likely that this will be accomplished at the pres

haustive report by the Harvard athletic commit
tee a few days ago the following pertinent para
graph appeared anent this subject which shows,
perhaps the way the wind is blowing:
The Harvard Athletic Committee has believed,
and still believes. not that there is anything bad
itself in a students taking athletic lessons
from q regular teacher, nor that the teachers
influence is necessarily an unfortunate one, but
they hold strongly that winning is not the only
or even the chief object of sport, and that the
spirit Of the best kind Of amateur-that OF sport
for sports sake-ineyitably suffers under sys-
tenn where each team is made up OF the obedient
tools OF a highly paid professional. Under such
a system contests tend to degenerate into the
triumph of this or that coach. The committee
is also convinced that the paying of great sums
of money to men who instruct youths in
what should be not their work but their play
tends to v1tiate the opinion not only of the stu
dent body. but of the whole community. as to
what is OF real importance in college training
and in the education of young man.
