SAL vIDERE RANKS
WITH THE GREAT HAMBURG

"Salvidere is equal to IL not greater as a
race horse than was Hamburg
Charley Patterson recently said this to a
reporter for the New York World. This
high opinion of the quality of the champion
two-year-old of last season from the man
who mad much to do with the mighty Ham
burg's training speaks volumes for the
merit of Salvidere.
Patterson for the last four years has been
John E. Madden's chief assistant and con-
fdential agent. He owned and trained Or
nament when he defeated Ogden, Futurity
winner. He was with Madden when Ham
burg swept every fast colt out of his path
and ended a great seasons work as a two
year-old by winning the great Eastern
Handicap with 1874 pounds up.
Patterson knew just what that great colt
last summer, and at times had complete
charge of Salvidere, he is fully competent
to tell just how the horses compare
II believe now" continued Patterson.
that Madden thinks Salvidere Is just as
good as Hamburg was in his best days.
Saividere, you know. just grew upon us.
Madden. from the day he bought him for
S.7O0 claimed he would develop into a
great horse, but even he was not so san
guine as to believe that he would become
top sawyer like Hamburg.
'Salvidere's grea tness just forced itself
on me. 1 didn't fancy him at first. But
Tie Udy he WOn Cn6 StEatOSa special /
had to take my hat off to him. Previous
to that race l asked Madden to give Salvi-
dere ratfng-by comparing him with other
great horses. John thought several minutes
and then replied:
g He is better than Irish Lad Such an
opinion opened my eyes and l said: Well,
if he is that good I'm going into the ring
and bet all 1 have ON him. And l did.
Everybody remembers what great race
Salvidere ran and how he Won after many
obstacles We're placed in his path in the
shape of jostling horses.
''Salvidere steadily improved with each
race he ran. He seemed 70 learn something
every time he started. He was regarded
asI a slow beginner at first. but in the
Junior Champion at Gravesend he could
have caught De Mund before the first
Quarter-pole was passed.
1T is not generally known that Madden
regarded him as both a Splinter and a
slayer. In a trial one morning he stepped
furIong in eleven seconds. His action
was so fine we did not realize his great
speed until we looked at our watches.
After that Madden knew he had great
horse, as Saividere had proved that he was
a slayer par excellence. He thought so
highly Of Belvidere's son that he said he
was willing to match him a quarter of a
mile against any colt provided the start
was made while the horses were in mo-
ton.
During Sa1videres retirement he has let
down and spread out considerably. He is
at least 125 pounds heavier than he was
when racing. If he meets with no mishaps
this winter he ought to win all his races
next season, from Sprints to long Journeys"

BASE BALL, RACING
AND OTHER SPORTS

League. President johnson of the latter
organization said last night that 1t was
almost physical impossibility for his
league to open that early in the season on
account OF having three lake cities in the
west. which are too cold to permit of base
ball that early in the year. and he intimat-
ed that his league would decide upon a
later opening.
The stand the old league took at its re-
cent New York meeting. in declaring I'M
qualifiedly for a 154-game schedule, was
unexpected by the American League execu-
tive, who had proposed the plan of having
committees from the two leagues meet and
talk over schedule matters before the de-
tails were settld II is possible now that
Mr.. johnson will not appoint schedule
committee at all as long as the National
League has gone ahead and voted for the
long schedule.
There won't be much for a committee
representing the American League to do II
it meets the National League schedule COM
mittee. said Mr.. Johnson, now that the
other league has taken a definite stand In
the schedule matter. There is no chance
for arranging details if the other party has
already made up its mini on the PROPOSE

MANY FOULS PULLED
OFF IN PRIZE RING

When is a foul not a foul? Is a question
fight followers have argued over and over
again. Seldom does a ring battle take place
that there is not one or more palpable fouls

gets away with it he Is considered fair

Nelson tried fouling and was caught with

Up to the very day before Mr.. Per-
kins wrote his letter to Governor Cum

was to undertake to decide all contests
of delegations before the state central
committee, which is standpat. In fact,
on the very day before the Perkins let
ter was written, Mr.. Perkins published
in his paper a long editorial making
contests to the state central committee.
The sudden change Of plans excited

was so certain that it was proper for
the central committee to decide these

trolling the committee, why abandon
that plan for arbitration by outsiders,

of the seven standpat members Of the
