Which is the greatest horse the running
turf has produced? AS well expect unan-
unity on the beauty of woman. the
greatness of a painting or the choice OF
a flower, for the qualities that go TO make
up greatness in a race horse are as elG-
sive of q standard as are these.
1t must be a source of unending dis
cussion to the lovers of the thorough
bred. and perhaps this is as 1t should be.
for what else brings out so strongly the
affection for the animal as an exciting
discussion over his good and bad quail
ties?
In such a symposium there is the ever
present danger that the proximity of some
hero of the track may blind his follow
ers to the merits of those that have gone
before him. This is especially true in the
case in point. since it is only recently
that America lost a horse that many pro-
nounce the greatest of his race. Yet each
man insists that in making an express
sion of opinion he was actuated solely by
the horse and his performances, tempered
perhaps in the most natural manner by
personal affection, unconscious, maybe,
but none the less potent.
Most Of those asked to express choice
found it difficult not to present plural
ity of choices as to the first question.

whose recent death his owner. James r.
Keene. took so much to heart.
Hindoo comes second in the estimation
of these judges. And then they are di-
vided in their choice for their position be-
tween Hamburg, Luke Blackburn and
Salvador. Henry of Navarro, that mighty
son of the Knight of Ellershe, has but

for observation, and his judgment must
necessarily carry weight.
There is no point too Insignificant for
attention in the consideration Of the
claims put forward by the champions of
the different horses. All things must be
considered, and that horse which comes
nearest to answering all the requirements
must be acclaimed as best. Speed, endur-
ance, conformation, soundness, temper,
ease of handling and gameness are a few
of the major qualifications which each
candidate must pass. Lack in any one
is bar.
So then, Domino. which in the opinion
of thousands, was the best horse the
country ever knew up to seven-eighths
of a mile, must be dropped from the cal
culations. Like Kinley Mack, whose heels

Lave Cross of the Washington team
is claimed to be one of the wealthiest

LIVE BASEBALL YARNS.
WaIsh's Success With the Spit Ball

Ed Walsh, the Chicago American clubs
great spit-ball pitcher and the lad who
is given the main credit for the showing
the White Sox made last season, was
educated in Scranton, Pa. the home Of
the illustrious Bill Coughlin. now of the
Detroit team, but of revered membory in
Washington.
The school which the Chicago tvirler
attended is still presided over by the
same old gentleman who once taught Ed
his A B C's, and when Walsh by his mas
terry pitching last summer was made the
subject of much comment on the part Of
the papers, his fame at last was brought
to the notice of his former teacher, who
is spoken of as a veritable bookworm,
and not at all familiar with the fine
points of the greatest American game Of
baseball.
When this learned person was told of
how his former pupil was engaged i'm
making baseball history by reason of his
cleverness in throwing the spit ball, the
ancient pedagogue seemed to awaken TO
the point of taking notice, for he said in

on the nose and the ball went whizzing
into deep center
A rainstorm the previous night had
left a good-sized puddle and of course
the ball had to roll right into 1t. Par
rott tore down to first, made the turn
end then hesitated IS he saw the fielder
stoop, as Tacks thought, to pick up the
ball.
II soon dawned on him, however, that
the ball had disappeared in the mud pud-
die and he scooted for second He paused
there long enough to see the fielder'l
frantic scramble had been unsuccessful
and then raced for third.
BY this time the crowd was whooping
and bowling in delight and Parrot, with
out backward glance, bolted on to the
plate. The fielder had finally found the
ball and hurled it to the plate, but Par
rott took to the ground and his run won
the game.
Tacks paid no attention to the laughter
OF the crowd, but, without waiting 10
brush the dirt from his clothes he hustled
over to the scorers box and demanded:
Say, dill you give me home run on
that hit?'

Astute Manager Planning Big Box

Summer.

gels. left last night for San Francisco
on the Owl. Whether Billy gathered
any change as a result Of the Nelson
Herrera fiasco last year could not be
determined, for the Danes manager re-
fused to be quoted on that subject.
Before he left Nolan gave out a great
deal of dope on the arrangements for
the big show he is contemplating in
London next August. From the plans
now advanced it seems that the Attell-
Bowker and the Nelson-Summers
matches will occupy the attention Of
the spectators the first night, while the
O'Brien-Moir and the WaIsh-Stanley
mills will hold the boards on the final
night of the carnival.

being all in and ready for the hook
should he fight again is taken by the
fans for what IL is woodworking

Billy will have a better hold on the
persona non grata seat heFea bouts than
he formerly had, and if anybody can
beat him for the honor they will surely
step some.
