A pair of barn swallows built their nest early in the summer in d cave at the rear of the cage of Dr. Nansen, the polar bear. The nest was completed and the eggs had been laid before the bear ar rived. the cage having been empty when the swallows appeared, The keepers have been wandering all along how the swal lows would manage to get their young out of the cage without interference from Dr. Nansen They had indeed expected to see the bear tear down the nest and devour the eggs upon his arrival in the cage. But in this they were mistaken. The bear discovered the nest a little while after he was placed in the cage, but all though he could easily have reached it by standing on his hind legs, he sat down at the entrance of the cave and seemed to take lively interest in the coming and going of the swallows
 A fortnight ago Keeper Dick Spicer took a peep into the swallows nest, and found that the eggs had just matched. There were four little swallows, their eyes not yet open. The keeper went away and awaited developments.
 If those swallows get the young ones past the bear they are wiser than think they are,' said Spicer 10 MT. Ditmars.

 When you have come 5000 miles with one certain plan in your head, that you will go to the top of the Peak that was named after Mr Pike because he did not climb it and look at the view, this sort of stops you up and makes you think bit. Anyway, you've seen Pikes Peak from the Garden of the Gods, rising up behind the mountains and popping up through the telescope with it's brd-caGe observatory on top. It does not look so very much bigger than the other moun- tains around, and you wonder why MT. Pike was so anxious to get to the top.
 This is a pleasure trip, anyway and what's the use of going on trip which is likely to maroon you half way up the mountain, lying on your back waiting to get your breath and a train? You re- member that lately your heart hammers after you have run up three flights of you go upon a fast elevator, and some you go pin a fast elevator, and some- times you get dizzy when you look down at the river through the cracks of the Brooklyn bridge.

That is when you decide you will not go up Pikes. Peak after all

JERSEY SOCCERS
DEFEAT TEAM OF
PICKED PLAYERS
The Game Played at Harrison
Yesterday Drew 1000
Followers.

The honor of New Jersey in soccer
circles was upheld yesterday afternoon
over in Harrison, when the Pennsyl-
vania association of football players
tried to wrest honors from the Jersey
ties before 1000 football enthusiasts
Barring the sharp wind which spurted
across the field, the day was an ideal
one for the game.
The Pennsylvanians came along with
a picked team in the hopes of carrying
away the game and the major portion
of the gate receipts, but they failed in
both, becaus the Jerseyites were the
better handlers of the ball. The visit
ors were the first to score, and for the
time it looked as if the visitors were
going to carry off the honors, but the
first score only spurred on the locals,
and they soon had a tally on their side.
By fast playing the locals added two
more, at the same time preventing the
Pennsylvanians from getting the ball
into the net, and the game ended 8 to 1.

jovial mood.

"Betless racing" is the situation that
Is confronting those who derive their
pleasure from witnessing contests of
speed and courage between w~ell-trained
horses.
Like baseball, horse racing is rapidly
approaching the time when the gam
bling side of the sport Will be elimin-
ated. The death of the gambler has
been sounded in many States and to the
improvement and betterment of the
sport.
That gambling will exist Just as long
as the American rae nc one will deny,
but the professional gambler is rapidly
reaching the end of his life. 1t is the
association of this class with any sport
that causes it's ruin. 1t is from this
quarter that the large percentage of
scandal originates. In many instances
the interruptions methods adopted by
the layer of prices are so apparent
that it causes comment from the other
bookmakers.
1t is seldom the player has an wen
chance with the man behind the slate.
He makes prices that are ridiculous and
the unsuspecting public is obliged TO
accept them. 1t is seldom that a book
maker gets in Dutch" to use the YER
nacular of the turf.
With the abolition of the professional
gambler, horse racing will ascend rap
idly to one of the greatest of American
sports. This was shown last season
when a betless meeting was held at
Readville, and judged from point of
attendance and the extraordinary char
acter of racing. was the greatest meet
ing ever held under the auspices of the
New England Association.
In the grand stand and on the lawn
were people who had not entered the
gates of a race track in years, and
many had never before. Why did these
people visit a ace rack when it had
beer we'll advertised that there would
positively be no betting? The answer is
evidently becase there would be no bet
ting. That the association is satisfied
of the truth of this is evident from the
fact that 1t is advertising another meet
ing for this year. 1t has also increased
the amount of the purses for the horses
to race for and has gone a step further
and announced a race for a $50, 600
purse, the first of it's kind ever at
tempted by a trotting association.
Such action by this association, one

good line on his throwing, but he can
block a runner off the plate well, and
hit-say, he will shine close to the 800
mark before the close of the season.
Then there is Old Jerry Hurley, as re-
liable as they make 'em. He will
strengthen the Broncos behind the bat.

ORANGE VALLEY
TW|RLER WAS IN
WINNING FORM
Jimmy Taggart Pitched a No=Hit
Game on Saturday Against
a Strong Team.

Jimmy Taggart, the Orange Valley
twirler, pitched a no-hit game Satur-
day against the N~orthvales from New
York. Although somewhat wild in the
early part of the game, which resulted
in the visitors scoring, Jimmy settled
down and had the heavy sluggers from
Manhattan guessing for the rest of the
game.
The gilt-edge work of Taggart has
been noticed before, and with a little
more experience he will no doubt at
tract the attention of some of the
minor leaguers around here who are
always willing to pick up a youngster
who has the goods, as Jimmy appears
to have. The Northvales are considered
a strong pro team and Taggart's strike
out of thirteen men is considered a feat
by his pals. The game ended 8 to 3 IN
favor of the Orange Valley boys.

time in its history, guess number two

Bucks indeld is much stronger with
the acquisition of Holly, the live wire
who cayorts about shortstop. Holly
will make a whole lot of errors in a
year, but he will spoil more base hits
for a opposing team than Moran ever
did. Mechanical ball players do not
help a team to success. Moran was a
mechanic, pure and simple, apparently
thinking more of his average than a de-
sire to knock down a base hit.
In the few games Holly has played
around these parts nothing but a good
impression can be had of his ability.

was trying hard to land this shortstop,
but Buck got in ahead of him.

"BETLESS RACING" WILL
ELEVATE THE SPORT

Of the oldest and most prominent in the
light harness horse world, is certainly
conclusive evidence of what the public
want. The liberal attendance last year
at a meeting where it was known it
would be impossible for the profess
sional gambler to operate, indicates
which way the wind is blowing. And
be it known that Boston and hat vicin-
ity has always been recognized as the
most fertile betting fields for the
trotter.
That light harness horse racing can
be conducted successfully without the
financial aid that has usually been de-
rived from the professional gambler is
becoming more evident each "a The
sport is sufficiently interesting to at
tract crowds for the pleasure gained
by witnessing the contests. Due evil
dence of this is seen in the crowds
who patronize the regular matinees
given by the Road Horse Association
of New Jersey ZACH year at Weequahic
Park. AT these events thousands of
the best citizens attend with their
families and remain until the last race
is finished.
True no admission is charged by the
association for the entertainment, but
that feature has little bearing on the
ability of the sport to furnish sufficient
interest to attract thousands to jour-
ney to the park. If the racing was
not productive of sufficient interest the
public would not spend the car fare to
reach the track nor waste the time.
1t is not so many years ago that
gambling was allowed at the Trenton
Fair, and when it was abolished there
We're those who argued that the racing
part of the fair would be 10 more. But
on the contrary the crowds who pay
the price to get into the enclosure
where they can view the racing is as
large, if not larger, thar ever as is
also the number of horses which start
in the events.
The trotter is an American product
and the racing of it should be one of
the leading sports. There was a time
when baseball was infested with the
gambling element, and at that time it
did not prosper. Immediately it was
taken from the management of this
class it grew, and today is recognized
as the leading outdoor sport. absolutely
free from scandal and attended by the
representative classes in every section
in which it is played.

POLICE To STOP

Louisville Jockey Clubs Opening
Today May See Trouble for
BettOrs and BOOkies.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 4.-The
spring meeting of the new Louisville
Jockey Club opens tomorrow, with the
historic Kentucky Derby as the attrac-
tion. There will be a large detail of
police on hand to arrest any person
who attempts to make a bet on the
races, either throl gh auction pools or
the Pari mutuel machines, which have
been installed for the meeting.
This policy of the Mayor and the
Board Of Public Safety was announced
yesterday. AS the 'r~acecourse is out
side the city limits, Mayor Grinstead
was in doubt as to the power of the
police to make arrests, but the city at
torney declared that the police had full
constabul3ly power within the limits
of Jefferson County to make arrests.
The charter granted the Jockey Club
by the Legislature legalized Pari
mutuels and auction pools, but had no
reference to bookmaking, the latter
form of betting not being in vogue at
that time.
