ACCIDENTS IN HUNTING FIELD
Most Of Those in England Come to
Experienced Riders.
Lord Chesham, W. j. Smith, and
Other Huntsmen Prominent in
Saddle Meet UntimeIy Ends.

| From the London Field.
| It is a regrettabie fact that the present
season has been productive of more than
the average number Of fatal accidents.
and perhaps the most curious fact in con-
nection with these accidents. taken as a
whole, is that majority OF the unfortu-
nate victims were men OF the Tipest ex-
perience.
Lord Chesham, for example, had been
leading light of the hunting field for more
than q generation, and had had expert
ence both as master Of a fashionable pack
and as a huntsman. He was a fine horse
man in every sense OF the word and his
death was due to the fact that MS horse
rolled on him after falling at q fence,
with the result that the riders neck was
broken. Oniy few weeks later ". J.
Smith, Of Churchland, was thrown from
his horse while following the Pembroke
shire hounds ard his neck was also
broken. The deceased had made a name
for himself as cross-country rider and
was accounted the father" OF the hunt.
Here again it was a case OF ripe expert
ence and long practice in the saddle
meeting with fatal accident
That a majority of these accidents were
OF a sort which could not be foreseen or
provided against is quite certain Lord
Chesham, Mr. Smith, and Mr.. owen were
all killed owing 10 their horses falling at
fence, but Mr.. Jones was a victim of
wire, and the girl who was killed at Col
chester might not have lost her life had
she been wearing hunting apron skirt
instead of a habit and a safety stirrup
1t Is quite common for a horse which
bolts to lose all command of itself and TO
run anywhere, carroming against any
thing which may be In its immediate line
of progress. At such times a horse viii
attempt 20 jump an impossible place, or
will, if there is nothing in the way. run
on until Il is too much exhausted to
travel farther. For a horse which bolts
in the hunting field TO jump into a wood
and bang about among trees until Il loses
its balance and falls over is not an un-
common occurrence, and even the most
accomplished borseman may be bolted
with at times.
Aud as regards the accidents which
were due 70 horses falling at fence,
blame can hardly be attached to men VINO
have been hunting more nearly forty
years than thirty, but 1t may be suggested
that men who have passed middle age.
who are, in fact, nearer sixty than fifty
years of age, fall nuch more heavily than
younger men. Though many riders retain
their nerve until they are quite old men.
it is impossible that they can retain their
activity. They may ride almost as hard
at sixty as they did when they were half
that age, but when a horse makes a mis-
take they are far less likely 70 be thrown
clear than the younger man, firstly. be-
cause they are In the habit of sitting
very close and gripping their horse with
their knees, and, secondly, because they
are heavier and sitter in proportion TO
their weight than they once were.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Credit 10 CantiiIon.

Reflection upon the results of the hrst
month Of the season strengthens the con-
viet.on that this year promises 10 be the
most successful Washington has ever ex-
.perienced since the American League took
this city into its circuit
When Joe Cantnlon assumed charge
here last year. he confronted one Of the
worst situations that ever faced a ma
jor league manager. Washington had long
been a tail-end town. and. as the club
was on a paying basis. none OF the league
powers showed any particular disposition
TO help Washington out of the rut.
Things went from bad TO worse and Jake
Stahl, an inexperienced college graduate.
with no managerial ability. was placed ia
charge OF a collection of worn-out vet
erans and a lot OF youngsters whose
chief recommendations were their records
In the minors.
Realizing that the principal fault was
the lack of a competent leader. the local
owners signed Joe CantiliOn ana gave him
absolute power TO do just as he saw ft
IN releasing, selling. and signing players.
AE II Vas rather iaAt 10 AANEIlDA 10 EEt
together whole new team at that stage
Cantillon commenced 10 slowly weed out
the older players and supplant them by
the bsst he could find in the smaller
leagues.
In one year he has built up a whole new
team, and every move he has made has
strengthened the club, until Washington
can now be really considered something
more than a joke so far as the race is
concerned.
Only choice few Of the men who
were here under stahl remain, and the
strongest team that Washington can pos
sibly put IN the field is made up entirely
Of players who have been obtained by
Cantillon.
Canulion's contract with the Washing
ton club has one more year TO run. and
II he can continue at mis- present rate
this city has every reason to expect a
team well up In the first division by the
end OF the 1903 season. In the meantime
Washington is to be a thorn in the side
of many a manager with pennant aspira-
tons

Jones VS.. Pickering.

No trade since the present manager
took charge aroused such a storm of pro-
tests as the swap OF Charley Jones for
ollie Pickering.
Like Lave Cross. Jones was immensely
popular with the fans. who forgot all OF
his other weakness IN admiring his
wonderful ability as a fielder. Jones is
one of the greatest outfielders in the
business-speedy, a sure catcher, and,
withal. is without superior in long-dis-
tance throwing. But the fielding end let's
Jones out At times he hits rather free
Iy. but he is not a reliable, consistent
batter. and. considering his speed. is a
failure as a base runner.
In fielding. Pickering IS not a wonder.
but he Is just ths type Of aggressive,
brainy player wanted by Cantillon. and
the showing made by the respective play
ers in the series last week was q tribute
TO the judgment Of the Washington man
ager.

cornelps Crew Troubles.

The stern methods Of Coach Charley
Courtney has brought about another out
break at Cornell. According TO reports
from Ithaca, four men have refused tc
report at the training table, and are
out of rowing for the year
To say the least, Cornell men must
be embarrassed by the failure OF the
powers that be TO maintain harmony in the
ranks OF the oarsmen. Hardly a year
passes that there is not some sort Of dis
ruption. either by Courtney summarily
dismissing one or more promising men,
or without warning. some Of the men who
arc picked for seats In the varsity shell
suddenly leaving the boathouse, not &c
return.
Where the trouble really lies. Is hard tC
discover. Courtney has long been consid-
cred one Of the strictest disciplinarians
in the annals Of American sport and
those who favor his methods point to
his many victories over the crews OF
other colleges where the number OF candi-
dates TO be drawn from is as large as
at Cornell. That strict adherence to the
rules has had much TO do with the
Ithacans' many tTiumphs cannot be
doubted. Neither can Courtney's ability
as q coach be questioned, but the cold
fact remains that If grumbling and dis
satisfaction are necessary to victory, a
change of some sort should be made.
Courtney does not believe In captains
He maintains that the absolute power
should rest with the coach, and the re-
suit is that not since 1900 have Cornell
oarsmen been allowed to honor one OF
their shell mates with the highest Office
in the most important sport In the uni
versity.
If Cornell IS TO be forced to upset all
traditions of college athletics by abolish
ing the Office Of captain, and be forced TO
blush each year when some of her students
refuse 10 represent the university under
existing conditions, 1t seems almost time
TO pass up the victories and take another
tack that might tend 20 build up better
spirit in every quarter.

LAYING PLANS FOR REGATTA
Annual Interclub Canoe Meet Set
for May so.
Event Marks the Opening of the
Local Boating SeHsOn-1Rny
Entries for Races Assured.

Although there is considerable canoeing
early In the spring on the Potomac. and,
in fact. all the year round, among the
real paddlers yet the season is always
opened formally by the Interclub Canoe
Associations annual Decoration Day re-
gatta which VIII be held as usual in
front OF Sycamore Island, in Broadwater,
Upper Potomac.
This association has been the official
organization OF the canoelsts since its in
ception in 1902, and starts the season this
year stronger than ever in numbers and
plans for the summer
A more delightful sight than the May
regatta is hard to imagine. The banks of
the beautiful island and its smaller neigh
bors crowded with friends of the contest
ant: the dozens Of canoes dashing in and
out among those lazily rolling near the
shore. paying visits 10 the different groups
on the banks between the events; the ex-
citing races, always closely contested;
the rustic camps built by the canoeists
along the banks of the river or on the
numerous islands, all goes TO make a
scene never to be forgotten by those for
tunate enough 10 be there.
A cordial invitation TO all paddlers is
always issued 10 attend, either as. active
participants or as ''rooters,' and a ma
joTity Of those able 10 be on hand accept.
The L c. c. A. has but one object in
view. as its name indicates. the bringing
together of the water dogs" and their
friends, so that the delightful sport may
not be confined TO small parties who are
strangers 10 each other, but rather that
all ships that pass may shout a cordial
greeting to one another and feel that they
are bound together by the common tie of
good fellowship and the most popular of
aquatic sports.
Those desiring 10 participate in the Dec
Grafton Day regatta are warned to send in
their entry blanks at the earliest possible
moment. Last year there were too many
entries for the best results, and the re-
gatta committee, not being able to ar
range for a long series of trial heats.
which viii consume too much Of the
afternoon, viii be obliged to limit the
number Of craft in each race.
Application for entry blanks should be
made to Commodore Adrian Sizer, chair
man of the regatta committee, room $50,
Colorado Building.
The Sycamore Island board of governors
met last Thursday evening and formally
extended a cordial invitation 10 all canoe
lists to make their headquarters there for
the day. Notice of the final arrange
ments, hours, &c, will be paslished later.
Several open-air concerts and ladies
smokers" viii be held along the banks Of
the Potomac during the season, and a
more beautiful scene than the many ca
noes proceeding to the spot selected for
the evenings entertainment, decorated
with lanterns and filed with happy devo-
tees Of the river. is hard to imagine
A regatta committee composed of the
following well-knOwn sanoeists has been
selected TO arrange the details OF the
meet; Adrian Sizer. chairman; ". ".

It would have been a risk, however. to
ave attempted third set of as smash
ilg play as the first and second without
a rest, and the American let his British
pponent win set, while he took things
sasiiy.
The spectators did not manifest much
enthusiasm. but their Indifference was
Cue rather to the tacit admission that the
match was too One-sided to be interest
.7g than 10 national prejudice or un-
sriendliness TO Gould.
For the high type OF the young Amer.

5rilliancy Of his playing, there is Moth
!lg but the Warmest of commentator.
It is everywhere conceded that Gould
Eas improved vastly in the past year
While Miles form and condition were
both below par. The score was; 60,

Gould won the English-practically the
world d's-championship from Miles last

lie is victorious for a third time. They
