CAPT. JIM WILLIAMS
OPINION OF RAMS HORN

NEW YORK, May 5.-Capt. Jim VIII
lams. the veteran owner-trainer of Ken
lucky, whose swift colt Rams Horn gave
evidence or such splendid form by winning
the Queens County Handicap at Aqueduct,
is one Of the most picturesque figures ever
seen at an eastern race track
His long and varied experiences at race
meetings all over this country has had
no apparent effect on his personality, and
he is today the typical southerner, just
as he was when he owned and raced the
famous Luke Blackburn in the late seven
ties.
Capt. Williams has the greatest CONT
dence in Rams Horn and believes the colt
will make a great showing when he lines
up with the speed kings in the big handl-
caps, but he does not pretend TO place the
horse in the same niche with Luke Black
burn.
I've been quoted as saying that L
thought RAMS Horn was the best horse
l ever owned, or, to be more exact, that
he was good as Luke Blackburn. Such
a thing is silly and L consider 1t retiec-
ton on my honesty or my intelligence to
be quoted that way.
No sane man VINO knew both Luke
Blackburn and Ram S Horn intimately
would dream of making such an assertion,
unless he wished to boost the public's opin-
ion of the horse with the view to a good
sale. AS / have said before, and repeated
1t just few minutes after the colt won
the Queens County Handicap l am not
considering selling him, and when l DO
decide to dispose of him III be willing to
take a chance on getting the right kind OF
q price on what he has shown, or will
show, that he Fan do.
ITO be perfectly honest, l do not think
Rams Horn Is within fiueen pounds OF
being as good q colt as Luke Blackburn
was Furthermore, during my forty years
experience on the turf, I've never seen a
horse which, in my judgment. could beat
Blackburn, ard I've seen all the cracks
this country has produced since CO.
don't know what there is for a man to
base a comparison or the two horses on.
Certainly not on anything Rams Horn has
done so far.
But don't get the idea that / think
Rams Horn is not q good colt and l firm
iy believe that he Will show the firSt-class
fiber in his makeup when he meets the
kings OF the turf in the big stake races
in which he Is entered. He certa inly has
shown exceptional speed ana / know that
q gamer animal never wore bride. He
showed that in mis- first night work, when
he was training for the Boston Club Han
dcap in February, at the Fair Grounds
In New Orleans.
"A horse who will work a mile with
12a pounds up in lao in the day time Is
a pretty swift animal, but a colt who ac-
composites this in the dark must have no,
only remarkable speed but phenomenal
courage, and that Is exactly what Rams
Horn did.

you, Mr.. Carroll to stand on your feet
and not to do-vot you calls umacropat-
les" And Carroll had to take the punish
ment.
Mike Kelly's Tricks.
To speak of great plays made by great
players, and not mention the mighty Mike
Kelly would be an objectionable oversight.
For this man won two world champion
ships by himself. The first was when he
batted out five two-baggers in the game
against New York all of which were re-
sponsble for runs, and the second cham
pionship he decided was when he threw
George Wright's arm up and caused the
ball 20 go over Joe Starts head at first
base. This play let in the runs that decided
the game, and took the championship to
Chicago. OF course, the umpire failed to
see the play, and although a howl was set
up it did no good, and Kelly got away
with the trick. as was usually his luck. He
was greatly liked by umpires, as it was rare
when he made a kick play made by
Shortstop Long a few years ago with the
Boston club is worth recording. The ball
was hit down toward short field, and
Dutch started for 1t on a run. He trip
ped and his legs flew up in the air just
as the ball made big bound While ap-
parently standing on his head he knocked
down the ball with his left foot and by
some wonderful chance grabbed it with his
right hand ere it had touched the ground
and while seated on the grass he shot the
sphere to Joe Quinn, at second, in time TO
make Il double play.

Some Notable Incidents in the
History of the National
Game.

The mention in the papers the other day
of the strong probability that Count
Campau, once a National League star, will
again manage Southern League club re-
calls the time that Campau established
record in professional base ball that stands
today.
1t occurred while the Count was u
member of the Detroit team, and this is
the way it came about. Campau hit a
measly pop fly in the direction of the
pitcher, ana the catcher, first baseman and
pitcher all started for the ball, only to do
the Alphonse-Gaston act when they stood
under the sphere. Campau had reached
first before the ball had come down and,
noticing how things were going, he kept on
toward second. By this time the ball had
fallen between the three players and, max
ing a sudden twist, 1t rolled foul-though
1t struck safe-and went pack toward the
grandstand, with the three players in full
pursuit. Campau, who in the meanwhile
had continued running, now dashed over
the home plate. beating the man who tried
to put the ball on him by about a foot
1t was, indeed, remarkable play, and
1 think the only one in the games history
where a professional player has made
home run on ball hit ten feet from the
plate.

Pat Tebeau used to tell story about
spring pitcher he had at Cleveland; He
trained In the spring by standing oak
boards against the grand stand and split
ting them with the base ball. He told me
he split all the kindling at home that way
so as to get control
I'VE opened against Cincinnati, and as
all the veterans were out of shape and he
had the speed l sent him in to start the
season. He hit the first four men, and put
two of them out Of the game Then
pulled him out Of the box. He afterward
contended that his control was all right
and he was sore. Control good? l asked
him in establishment. Why, you hit four
men IN succession 4 know it, he said
4 was aiming at them, and the idiots didn't
have sense enough to get out of the way. ."

Chicago turned up spring pitcher who
was a marvel for wildness in Doc Rice,
who dropped out of the business afterward
Doc had speed. he had curves, he had
everything. but no amount of training
could teach him where the plato was. He
was likely to put three over as straight as
a die and then let the next four or five
men walk, and he kept batters hopping all
around TO escape being punctured.
Arson finally let him go. Rice was pitch
ing and the grounds were wet on the day
that he got through" He couldn't handle
the greasy, slippery ball to any advantage,
so Arson between innings told him TO
watch his chance when the ball got slip
perry, pretend 10 let II slip out OF his hands,
and throw it out of the field so as to get a
dry ball. Rice obeyed instructions. He let
the ball slip. threw l. over the grand stand
and got a dry ball, but the trouble was he
did II with men on second and third.

few weeks until the hospital list Is full,
and all the real ball players are suffering
from wounds, ahras'ons and bruises. Then
the managers realize that the youngsters
won't do just yet and send them back to
the minors.
More batters are hit by pitched balls In
the FIRST month OF the season than in the
other five combined, which partially ac-
counts for the fact that good hitters seldom
fatteu their averages on bad pitchers IN
the spring. They don't like to have ribs
fractured or blocks knocked Off, so they
don stand up to the plate as they do later
in the season against pitchers they know
have some control Of the ball and know
where they are pitching.
