TO Movement and Want Two
in Three"

NEW YORK. Feb. 10.-The principal
topic OF conversation among horsemen
at the recent Fasig- Upton sale in Mad
ison Square Garden was the pros and
cons of the three heats a race" prop
osition. about which there is so much
could be heard for both sides. and the
question was sure 10 be under discus
sion In almost every one of the count
less little groups about the auctioneer's
stand
The one big argument which was adj
vanced by many is that OF the matter of
attendance. The advocates of the idea
assert that with three races a day of
three heats, in which every heat was in
fact d race. the attendance at the races
would be greatly increased. This they
say would come about for many reasons.
They. hold that there are many people
who. if they felt sure of seeing a race
completed that chanced to be last on
the card. they would go to the track.
No Laying Up by Drivers.
With ever heat a race and a purse
there would be no laying up by the
drivers for the mere fact that it would
be too expensive. The plan in the rough
and as talked over was 10 sandwich the
heats In SO that there would be a race
every twenty minutes This plan, they
say. would not compel man to start
a horse IN heats nearer an hour.
With every race being finished in the
day ii was started ii is said that the
public could plan for the same hours tn
the afternoon as they do now for the
running races. and feel absolutely GER
tain that they would see a day of fin
ished sport.
II is Well known fact that the plan
is looked upon very favorably all over
the grand circuit and many expressed
the opinion that this year would see the
two in three idea sll along the line.
Strong Objections to Old Plan.
Harry c. Stinson. who trains for the
Crookston farm at Gait. Ontario, and
James Weatherill. the manager. were

plan. and Mr.. Stinson stated that none

An Old Player Makes Good
Football Suggestion.
PENALTY Is TOO SEVERE
Loss of Ball After Third Try Hard on
Losing Team-Favors Greater
Distance.

NEW YORK. Feb, 10-Prominent
Harvard men in this city. who are in
touch with the athletic and football
situation at Cambridge, appear to be
convinced that the changes ordered by
the national football rules committee
are sufficiently drastic TO satisfy the
authorities of the crimson. and that
Harvard will receive permission to pro-
coed with the schedule for next years
games within a short time.
The rule changes, they say. are very
radical on the score Of brutality and
rough play. and if they do not prevent
such practices they certainly punish
them so severely as 10 make il almost
impossible to continue thom. Under
these conditions neither Harvard nor
any other college, they feel, can have
reasonable objection
Increase Downs
One prominent football expert. in es-
timating the effect of the present con-
dittons upon the game. said
Tt will be necessary to increase the
number of downs with the number OF
yards to be gained under these rules.
This is an advisable arrangement any
way, as il VIII remove one very obiec-
tionable feature Of the old arrangement
of FIVE yards IN three down, to wit: that
in case Of the failure to gain on any
one down places tremendous handicap
on a team on the other two downs.
which is, think, undesirable. 1t would
be much better to give three opportuni-
ties to recover lost ground even though
a greater average distance must be
gained on each of the four tries than
10 retain present conditions
Three D0wns-Then Kick.
Then there is one other suggestion
on this line that l would favor It
seems to me fairer to provide that
after failing to gain given distance
IN a given number Of tries a team
should be allowed to kick the ball 1t
is an awful penalty TO lose the ball
which means a loss of thirty-five yards
at least for falling to make the re-
qutTed distance, by say, a couple Of
inches, as often happens. Is II not bet
ter in case team fails 10 gain the dis
tance 10 then compel it to kick? That
is handicap enough. inasmuch as the
other team can be fully prepared for
the kick and can handle it to the best
advantage.
For my part, I would favor a ten
yard rule with four downs in which TO
gain the distance. and in event of fall
ure TO gain the requirement q compuI-
sorry kick

Pitchers Improving.

BY the way. did you ever take into
consideration the Improvement in the
pitchers in the last ten years? a bats
man who is hitting 20 nowadays is as
good a man as he who ten years ago
hit $50. In those days each club had
one or two good pitchers. and the bats
man would Law for the poor ones. hit
them all over the lot and fatten theiy
averages. But when two ffrst~clas5 ;
pitchers met in those days they had
low scores. too.
"Well. at the present time each club
carries four or five nrst-class pitchers
and the batsmau seldom gets a chance at
ANYTHING soft to swell his average. Why.
don't think we had more than six or

There are many hardshiDs about the

there is any chance TO have the rule

is some modification. Take. for IN

straight over the catCher's head. Now.
l don't think IL is fair TO call 4 strike

is evident that the batsman is trying 10
foul. But there is no man living so
clever as to be able TO tip the ball over

work are Milton l.. Cornell and a. l..
Willis. of last years varsity four
Coaching In singles will also have t.
be provided for, but there is no one
just now under consideration for the

able among the old varsity Oarsmen.
The work of the spring regatta will
not be begun for some time. Coach
Goodwin will first try out all the can
didates for the intercollegiate races.
but as soon as he has made his choices

the squad will begin work for places
In the spring regatta. from which var
stty men are barred \ much larger

WAR ON THE ICE Trust.

through its Attorney General the State
a OF New York has begun proceedings
against the American Ice Company OF New York
City known as the ice trust The authorities are
thus early beginning to disclose the ice situation
with the object OF preventing this odous trst
from repeating next summer such extorticu>
upon the public as it was guilty OF during the
last summer. The price of ice was steadily in
creased and the only reason advanced then for
the rise was shortage Of the crop. When this
pretended excuse was examined it was learned
that any shortage in the ice yield had been
brought about by the ice men themselves, who
during the previous winter refused to harvest
the ice
Ii was shown that ice houses i'll Maine had been
deliberately closed and the company had purpose
~ refused 10 gather the ice This management
was the theory that it would be better for the
trust TO have less ice and higher prices. But the
ice men overreached themselves. There is a
limit to cxtorton and when that is attained the
people revolt as they did last summer Some
OF the ice men went to jail others were prose
cuted and fined, and in several cities a conspiracy
to control prices and create a monopoly was re-
vcalcd.
Should the State of New York succeed in dis
solving the ice trust a lowering Of prices in this
necessity may be expected Osxt summer and
much suffering thereby will be prevented.
