HORSE. RACING ON
THE PACIFIC COAST

NEW YORK, March 2.-The virtual wip-
ing out of racing in the middle west and
southern states appears likely to be follow
ed by Increased activity in the sport along
the Pacific coast. Tennessee, Missouri, Ar
kansas and Illinois are some Of the former
racing centers which have declared against
racing, leaving only Kentucky or the New
York and Canadian tracks open to horse
men during the summer months. Kentucky
may be confined to short meetings IL pend
ing legislation goes through. AS a result
of limited opportunities for ordinary per-
formers on this side Of the Rockies, many
Of the owners now racing at Los Angeles
figured prominently at middle western
meetings, have announced their intention
of remaining on the Pacific coast, with the
idea of participating in the Seattle meeting.
Racing in Seattle was signally successful
last summer and the outlook for the COM
ing season in that city Is very bright.
The Seattle track is said to be first class
as compared with most of the racing plants
outside of the Jockey Club circuit, and the
climate is wonderfully good for thorough
breds. Some of the horses that raced there
last summer showed extraordinary i'm
provement over their California and east
the climate. The increased popularity of
Seattle with owners will help to keep away
some of the horses that would otherwise
race on the local courses, but relief in that
direction will not be pronounced unless
some local owners Of large strings are in
duced to ship to that track. From present
Indications local races will again be crowd
ed to the limit. a state Of affairs that will
help to throw form out Of plumb.

ATHLETICS AT WEST POINT.
Col. Howe Thinks Too Many Big
Foot Ball Games Are Played.

WEST POINT, N. Y, March 2-The an
nual report Of the Army Athletic Associa.
ton has just come out Of West Point. The
president, Lieut.. Col. Robert L. Howe, sets
forth right at the start that in his opinion
the foot ball team played too many big
games in the past season. These large
games should not exceed three" says Col.
Howe, land there should be at least two
weeks interval between any two of them.
The season appeared too long, and every
proper effort should be made to play the
game with the Navy Saturday before
Thanksgiving. This is considered of vital
importance to the cadets and to the course
of study at the Military Academy"
The Army-Navy game of last year was
the last contest under the three years rule
adopted by the superintendents Of the two
academies, April Is. 1904. SO the question
Of arranging for the games in the future
is Of immediate Importance.
AS for the foot ball rules, Col Howe
says: 1.-THE efforts made to bring about re-
form in foot ball met with success and new
rules were adopted which, with a few minor
exceptions, have proved satisfactory to low
ers Of the sport. 1t appears an almost
unanimous opinion that the game has vindi-
Gated ITSELF"
Col Howe also speaks Of the Intercol-
lpgiate Athletic Association OF the United
States in the following terms: Capt. p. q.

TRIED TO KEEP WEST
OUT OF HENLEY REGATTA

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March ut has
finally come to light who the person was

officials slurring James B. West. a Phila-
delphia sculler who competed in England
last year, paying all his own expenses.
knowing from start to finish he had no
earthly chance to win the Diamond SOULS.
The fact developes that it was none other
than Fred r. Fortmeyer. secretary Of the
National Association of Amateur Oarsmen.
West alleges that Formeyer urged the
Britons to reject the entry Of West on
the ground that he was only Of mediocre
ability. If this is true, 1t is a most repre-
hensible piece Of business, and, it would
seem, surely adds to the contempt in
which the Henley stewards already hold
our national rowing body. The National
Association, recognizing the enormity of
the offense Mr.. West charged against Fort
meyer, appointed a committee to investi-
gate. Mr.. West laid before them all the
facts. He was then asked to prefer. charges
against Fortmeyer. This he refused to
do, saying:
you have been furnished with the
facts, which, / understand can be cor
roborated by Capt. Basker of the Argo-
naut Rowing Club Of Toronto, who saw
the identical letter when he was in Lon
don. I am no prosecutor, simply one who
rows for pleasure. The letter caused me
no little discontinue abroad, but tended
only to advance the feelings Of friendship
between the Henley stewards and myself.
1t is now up to the N. A. A. o. to prevent
a recurrence"
Mr. West is a representative American
amateur, successful business man of Phil
adelphia, a member Of the Union League
and prominent in social and club life. He
had no difficulty in convincing the Henley
stewards of his right to row for the Dia-
mond SOULS, as many London merchants,
correspondents Of the Quaker city firm of
which he is a member, quickly came to his
rescue. On his return to this country the
Philadelphia sculler complained Of the
treatment he had received at the hands Of
Secretary Fortmeyer at an open meeting

ENTRIES CLOSE ON 10TH
COMING BOWLING TOURNAMENT
AT ATLANTIC CITY.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., March 2.-En-
tries for the first national championships
OF the newly founded National Bowling
Association close positively March 10, in
order that the schedule may be properly
made out and mailed to each contestant
ten days before March %, the date set
for the start Of the tournament. The COM
mittee in charge calls attention to the fact
that although any individual member or
any two members OF the N. B. A. may
compete In the individual, or two-man con-
test. team to compete in the five-man
event must have been properly organized
as a club thirty days prior to the start OF
the tournament.
The Importance Of bowling clubs and in
dividuals becoming members of the Nation
nj Bowling Association prior to the ma
tional championships is made evident by
the number Of meetings being held in most
Of the big eastern cities for the purpose
of forming city associations. Meetings
with this object in view have recently
been held in Newark. Washington, Balti-
more, Buffalo, New Haven and Paterson,
and Of these several have already sent in
their application to the national secretary.
Elaborate plans are being made for the
scoring. An immense score board on which
the scores will be posted by means of
whitewash and brush will tell those pres
ent how things are going. BY carefully
prepared system the official record will be
so kept that a contestant may know imme-
diately the standing Of his rivals and the
scores he has to beat. The press will be
supplied with copies OF the official scores
as they are turned in. Bowlers are notified
that they must check their scores from
frame to frame as they go along, as no
questioning will be allowed after games
are completed.
In order that there may be no possible
question on the matter of any ties OF diff
ferences Of opinion as to proper interpre-
tation Of the playing rules, all such will
be determined by the board of governors
of the N. B. A., who will, in this instance,
sit as board of control or arbitration
committee.
Profting by the experience gained in the
tournaments In the west, the promoters of
this, the first N. B. A. championship, have
done everything in their power in the way
of up-to-date methods to insure the sue
cessful carrying out of the event. Prizes
will be cash, and will be based on the
percentage plan in order of merit, and will
be paid within twelve hours of close OF
tournament.
New pins each day.
Ball must be wholly Of one substance.
No practice balls on tournament alleys.

Orlando F. Weber, a member Of the Chi
cago Motor Club, is one Of those who think
that the contest for the Glidden touring
trophy should be settled by the speed and
endurance qualities of the competing cars.
In talking about this years tour he said:
ut is felt among automobilists in general
and by the contestants in the last tour In
particular that the course selected for the
Glidden tour last season was an fmprac-
ticable one, not SO much on account OF
the bad condition of the roads, but more
particularly because the route led into out
OF the way places where hotel accommo-
dations were poor and inadequate. Men
who are undergoing a severe strain, men,

OF each twenty-four hours should be given

forming similar duties in other lines OF
