1t is difficult to see why the jockey
club should be surprised at the lack
of interest Shown in its philanthropic
donation OF broken-down thorough
bred stations for use by the farmers
in breeding purposes. or what earth
ly use Is the thoroughbred cross for
farm work? 1t can produce nothing
but slow-trotting. irritable, small-boned
nondescripts. good neither for use un'
der saddle or in harness.
The American league clubs have
asked for waivers on 80 players--an
average OF ten TO a club, and hardly
one of them has donned a big league
uniform. why did the magnates ever
yank them out OF the bushes? Why,
lust because they were afraid some
body else might held hold of them
and get some good out OF them; that's
all.

are favorable to life of crime continue

The authors statement that this is "a
complete compendium of practical advice
to guide those who angle for all fishes in
fresh and salt water" is borne out by the
text. OF the thousands Of fish in Ameri
can waters he has selected only those best
known for gameness and economic value.
The novice can be informed of angling
methods and equipment without the ne
cessity Of searching elsewhere. The fish
have been grouped according to methods
of taking them. The writer has been, all
his life. much attached to the sport of
angling and circumstances have permitted
him to indulge in that passion to great
