blight that has fallen upon racing
and the decrease in the demand for
thoroughbreds may mean the pass
ing of those orincely domains in
the bluegrass, where the lords of
the turf have neld sway.
On a number of famous farms
the horses are being sold at auc-
ton. The land will be sold and the
bluegrass pastures, where royalty
bred youngsters drew stamina, will
be planted in wheat, corn or some
thing more marketable than race
horses.
The last of the famous McGra-
thiana farm, where Col. Milton
Young bred his racing strings, has
been sold.
The Senorita stud, where Capt.
s. S. Brown nurtured the horse
whose victories were his delight, is
to pass into history.
J. B. Haggin, owner of "Tlmen-
dorf," grandest of bluegrass es-
tates, has decided to quit buying,
and to sell instead. Haggin owns
10000 acres, but since the collapse
of the breeding interests he has
lost interest in Elmendorf.
When bluegrass land was at its
highest value the land of Elmen-
dorf alone was worth millions. This
is small part of the wealth repre-.
sented there, however. The man
sion, Green Hills" where Haggin
and his beautiful young wife have
spent a few weeks each year, cost
close to $500 900. The principal

, feet it is practically impossible to
get good grip on new ball. 1t is
absolutely necessary for pitcher
to have firm hold on the ball
when pitching a curve.
To show how this works to the
twirler's disadvantage. well say
for an illustration. that the man at
bat is weak on a curve ball. The
count stands two balls and two
strikes on him, when he fouls off
the next one pitched. The umpire
losses out a new ball to the pitcher,
and right here is where the box art
list is placed at disadvantage.
He knows the batter is weak on
a good curve ball, but he also
knows that, wit ha new ball to
handle, he is going to have consid-
cradle trouble in making it break
just where he wants it to.
He tries to bend up one, and
nine times out of ten, it does not
break just right, and the batter
whales it good and hard.
Many game is lost because the
pitcher is not allowed to discolor
the ball any more. The hit that
started Chicago's batting rally in
the last game of the season at New
York, which won the National
league pennant for the Cubs, &C
cording to one who should know,
was secured in this manner.
