TRoTTING AND PACING.

The Ola Glory Eale Of light harness horses
which came TO an END on Wednesday, was gem
orally considered the best OF its kind ever held
in this country. IN spite OF the fact that the
grand total fell a little short OF two other years
The chief cause for congratulation In this is the
bearing it has on the breeding industry and the
sport which comes under the head Of trotting
and pacing. The closing Of some racetracls
and a restriction OF the sport here and there
Jed 20 the prediction OF dire things. but the
strength OF the market for breeding stock as
well as caZnpeigners can point TO only one con-
clusion-conunued prosperity and growing pop
ularity Over one thousand horses were disposed
OF et the sale for something under half a million
dollars. and the supply was even then none too
large for home consumption. Agents for foreign
buyers were on hand looking for bargains Tor
export but the demand here was so strong that
the majority Of the stock will stay IN this coun-
try.
The Board OF Review OF the National Trotting
Association disposed OF the now famous Gold
Cup case last week. and z. E. ETnathers was ex-
pnerated. II resulted IN the expulsion OF two
men, however-George Y. Spear and Ed Sanders.
while Q. K G. Billings did not OCCUPY an en-
F1sble position Turf scandals work more or less
harm TO the sport. and IT Is cause for conerat-

new rules; II was answer to the criticisms
that had been made OF the game throughout
the country. both In the press and from academic
chairs If the judgment Of the majority OF the
men who make the daily papers and who are
influential in university life counts for any
thing, football has been lifted out OF the rut into

BASEBALL IN ENGLAND.
PulEam Says Game Vas aided
There by Rhodes Scholars.

It's a far cry from the Polo Grounds to the
Vatican, but Harry Pulliam, president of the
National Baseball League. had to go that far
he said, to forget that there was such thing
as baseball. He arrived here yesterday the
American liner New York after a trip of two
months through Italy and England. He was
reminded OF baseball only once while abroad.
and that was when he heard American who
passed him in Trafalgar Square express a de-
sire for a highbaI
Baseball he said. "is such an exciting game
that one has to go to quiet places to forget IT,
That will. perhaps. account for my trip to Ju-
lets tomb in Verona 1 would have remained
away trlfe longer if had not had to get back
in time to attend the league election next Tues
day.
Il think baseball will soon be a big go in
England, but not to the extent Of supplementing
cricket. The game will not be made popular
through any games that may be played there
by third rate American teams These teams
have no influence whatsoever in the matter Of
stimulating interest in the game among the
British people The interest thus far has come
about largely through the enterprise of Nelson
Cook, an American. who has lived for fifteen
years in London. In measure, Cecil Rhodes
was responsible for the introduction of baseball
in England. l doubt If he ever thought the
game would become, popular through his pro-
vision of scholarships for American boys in the
British colleges. The American students coached
the association football teams in the game OF
baseball in the summer time. when the teams
were not playing football 1t was good thing
for the football players as the summer baseball
kept them in good form for their winter work
The association football player follows the game
eight months out Of the year. and practically
plays himself out in five years. With the aid
Of the baseball work in the summer he should
be able to hold out for ten years as a player
OF football
Mr. Pulliam said that while in Rome he had
an audience with the Pope.

AUTO NEU'S and NOTES.
MoUing Day at Grand Central Palace
FLORIDA Beach Races.

1t moving day at the Grand Central Palace
yesterday. All night long and during the day the
automobiles and motor trucks that were on ex-
hibiton at the seventh annual exhibition of the
Automobile Club OF America which came TO an
end on Saturday night, were being shipped from
the building TO their respective salesrooms
The officials of the club said they delighted
with the great success Of the show, and asserted
that the crowds that attended daily were be-
yond expectations. II announced that the ex-
hibttion held under the clubs auspices next year
will take place in the building With the
offered about the best advantages for a show OF
it's kind that could be obtained.
Numerous entries for the automobile meeting on
the famous Ormond-Daytona beach course are
being received daily by Senator" ". ]. Morgan,
and indications already point to the affair next
month being one of the most successful held on
the sand course.
More attention will be paid at this meeting to
touring car contests than at the former meeting,
and the number Of high powered racing is
expected to be larger than ever.
Senator Morgan says that the contests Will be
run off the day scheduled and he is deter
mined this point. the disappointment caused at
the previous meeting will probably not be expert
enced again.
"How some of the people who own cars able
TO do so?" asked at the Palace show. III

of of the banks I'm my tOwn-he's personal

FAVOR TEAM OF TWELVE.
Says Better Football Could Be
PIaged zcith One More Man.

Ithaca. N. Y, Dec. e.-Coach Warner Of the
Cornell football team declared to-day that he was
in favor Of having twelve men comprise the foot
ball team He said he had found it difficult under
the new rules this season 10 formulate plays with
eleven men, and he convinced that better
game could be played with twelve men.
Each time I had play figured out" said War
ner. t failed TO please for it seemed that there
always player missing"
He illustrated his remarks with a diagram show
ing how on the offence the drawing back OF a
Inesman for a plunge revealed the purpose and
weakened the line. On the defence he showed how
easy it was TO draw off the mesgre secondary de-
fence by fake play. An extra man iE the rear,
he contended would balance the defence, and make
the game more a match even terms.
'I would like TO all restrictions removed from
the forward pass Warner added THE rule CIV
ing the ball to the other side when it hits the
ground has made teams afraid to employ 1t, while
the limit OF two times and compelling
it 10 be passed five yards from centre have kept
the play from being developed its fullest extent

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

The annual fan meeting OF the National
League Of Baseball Clubs viii be held at the
Victoria Hotel IN this city tomorrow, while the
American League win convene IN Chicago on
Wednesday. Peace and harmony are likely to
prevail, although there has been some talk Of
opposition 10 the reelection OF Harry c. Puliam
as president OF the National League Mr. Pull
.am has worked hard IN the cause OF clean base
ball. and while in his enthusiasm he may have
gone too far IN one or two cases. and leaned TO
one side in trying to be fair. he seems TO be the
right man for the place The meeting will be
marked by the retirement Of Arthur II. Soden
known throughout the baseball world as the
dean Of baseball" Mr.. Soden has sold hts In
terest in the Boston club which he held for
thirty years. At the meeting OF the American
League a shortening OF the playing schedule to
l4O games viii be advocated. II will probably
come 10 nothing, however unless the National
League viii coincide President Johnson Of the
American League says that there is a public
demand for a change. He cites numerous in
stances where games IN April have been played
in snowstorms in wintTy weather-conditions
that have been a source OF discomfort 10 both
players and spectators. With a 154- game
schedule ia operation the season must open on
April 10 and wind up October l. or there
abouts. johnson says that with the season open
ing April % and closing on September % for
instance, uncertain weather would be avoided in
The spring, while there would be excellent
chance 90 play extended worlds series of
nine or eleven games in the fall.
