EXPERTS PICK SALVIDERE
AS THE COMING CHAMPION
By ]. S. A. MACDONALD.

NEW ORLEANS. La. March 19.-
Though the winner of the City Park
Derby today may never cut much Of a
figure in the three-year-old racing
around New York next summer, still the
turf campaigners here on the ground
have had their attention drawn to the
three-year-oId problem of 1907 through
the running of this event and also in
a further way through the near ap-
proach of the premier three-year-old
fixture Of the winter. the Crescent City
Derby. on next Saturday, at the Fair
Grounds.
According to the opinion of sharp
horsemen like Jimmy Mccormick, W.
II. Snyder. Fred Burlew, and CHARLEY
Ellison. the coming champion is none
other than Salvidere.
OF course. this is TO be expected, for
on his Juvenile form Of last summer the
splendid son of Belvidere is outstand-
ingly the class. However, every spring
there can be pointed out one or two
colts or fillies which did not attain their
fun powers for some reason or other as
two-year-olds, and which may be
counted upon to eclipse some other
horse which had displayed superior
capacity in actual racing eight months
before.
However. none there is in the list of
present tfree-year-olds which can be
reckoned as liable to improve sufficient
~ 20 threaten Salvideres laurels One
of the greatest admirers Of SaIvidere is
David Gideon, one OF Americas real
racing veterans. Just before leaving foI
the East Mr.. Gideon said to the writer:

CLUB OF SCHOOLMASTERS
PLAN FOR WASHINGTON

There is a proposed plan TO form in
Washington a Schoolmasters' Club for
the purpose of bringing men teachers
OF Washington together in order that
they may become better acquainted.
Teachers in the universities and private
and public schools are much interested
and a preliminary meeting Will be held
on Thursday evening In Fairmont Sem

plans. II is understood that the mem

The game on Sunday in Houston
against the ST. Louis Cardinals showed
him something he didn't know, and he
has promised that he Will remedy the
defects. The base running signals
worked as well as could have been ex-
nected. but despite the fact that the
Cardinals were seldom able to hit the
ball. their discrepancies in fielding were
apparent 10 a trained eye like that
OF the new manager.
He was well pleased with the showing
al the victory. but realized thta Wash
ington won largely because the Cardi-
nails do not class at all Glaring mis-
takes IN fielding by Karger, the pitcher,
and Crawford. the new shortstop, were
responsible for four of the runs made
by the Cardinals opponents. and Can
tillon was we'll aware Of that.
The spirit animating team is largely
responsible for the doing of the right
thing at the right time.
The Cure for Slumps.
Most Of the more serious mistakes
made by Washington in the past have
been due to the fact thar the players
were disgusted with themselves. In the
early part of the season, when they
would get off with a rush, the fielding
teamwork was not so bad. Then, when
the batting declined. and the grand
slide for the bottom began, everybody
got discouraged, played his own posi-
tion as best he could, and left the rest
70 shift for themselves.
This indifference bred by failure does
not mean that the players were de-
liberately throwing the team and did
not want TO win. Nor did II mean that
they had a yellow streak. It was a
perfectly natural condition, well under
stood by any man who has ever mingled
with athletes.
What Cantillon Must Do.
A strong hand and an iron will on the
part of the directing genius is the only
Offset for such apathy. and that is what
CantillOn Will have to supply II he wants
20 make good on his job. He viii have
10 put heart and snap and ginger into
men who are becoming despondent over
successive defeats. for Washington will
have a tough Job to even finish in the
first division this year and the games
lost Will probably outnumber those won.
The leader who can make his follow
ers put up a bold front and keep trying
all the time under such conditions is the
one who will make a reputation and get
the money. Canullon has a reputation
for doing just that thing. and his career
in Washington this season will be one

VIII remain is not easy Goodwin prob
ably has the best chance of landing one
OF the most interesting features OF the
American League race.
Falkenberg. Patten. Hughes. Smith,

and all Will be carried into the regular
season. Also. there is no reason so far
why all should not make good. The
three youngsters are Goodwin. who was
with the team the latter part Of last
year, and Graham and Wilson. At least
two Of these recruits will have to go. as
eight pitchers are too many for a club

These are anxious days for the three
youngsters, and all are working like

Schlafly Should Improve.
Some players are absolutely ruined by
being made manager or field captain.
Stahl was such a case. Others are i'm
proved by the weight Of responsibility.
Schalfly should be in the latter class.
He is as busy as a bec at second, and
hustlcs all the tine. His uncertain hit

he is firmly of the opinion that the sea-
son in fast company Sharpened his eye.
and that he viii be higher IN the list

is right.

Blankenship's Arm All Right.
Blankenship's arm is almost in form,
and he has no trouble getting The ball
to second.
Smith is doing little pitching. He is
kept on the jump perfcctlng himself to
play first base for the colts. He is a
formidable hitter, when he does connect
with the ball, and may land a fielder S
position some day If he gives out as q
pitcher.

many pitchers, Charley Hickman among

stuck out his mitt. stopped II. and
caused II 20 bound into the air in front
Of him. Then ensued a juggling match
in which both hands We're used a dozen

Welcome TO our beautiful city" is
the motto Of the Galveston mosquitoes.
Cantillon does not thinl. much Of Hot
Springs as a training ground for bail
teams He says the work on the hard
mountain roads, and the violence OF the
exertion In running up and down the
hills hardens the men too rapidly and
tends to make them both stale and
muscle bound. Lave Cross says the
same thing. and tells horrible tales OF
men whose legs We're put out Of com
mission while training there with him.
Baseball players do not train for Il one
night engagement Ike a boxer, and
should take things much more easily.

CHANGES SUGGESTED,
BUT NOT ADOPTED
High School Faculty Athletic
Advisors Informally Dis
cuss Governing Code
of Rules.
Owing to Absence Of Two
Members No Official
Action Is Taken.

A regular meeting of the board of the
high school faculty athletic advisers
was held last night at the home of
Charles Hart. of Business High.
No business was transacted on ac-
count Of the absence of two Of the
members-Messrs. Matthews. of West
ern. and Mattern. of Technical. Mr..
Mattern sent a note of regret explain
ing his enforced absence, but nothing
was heard from Westerns representa-
tive
Quite a number OF important points
wrec purely informally taken up. One
or two suggested notifications of the
eligibility code which governs the par
ticlDation of students in inter-hlgh
school athIedc3 were framed up to the
satisfaction Of the members present.
and will in all likelihood be presnted %
the commit -ee at its next regular meet
ing.
Changes May Be Made.
Tho existence Of radical and con-
servative faction on the board threatens
deadlock, as far as any material
changes are concerned. but it is ex-
pected that a compromise whereby no
really radical changes will take place,
but some more or less important altera-
tions Will be reached at the next meet
ing.
The suggested notifications discussed
last night had to do with the participa-
ton in athletics Of students who Have
failed 10 oass on some subjects in their
courses. The general feeling seems tc
be in favor Of allowing them TO take
part. provided they have entirely drop
ped the courses in which failures are
hung up against them. Also II a stu
dent has good and sufficient reasons to
account for his faiure-that is. sickness
or any such cause outside Of actual
neglect or indinereuce-the case be
passed upon by the board with chances
favoring the student
While nothing definite is known as
to how these suggestions Will fare when
an actual vote Is taken, there seems 10
be Consensus Of opinion that thoy will
pass.
