INSTINCT AND REASON.
An Interesting Illustration Of the Two

An Interesting Illustration Of tho Two
Traits of Monkeys.
An illustration showing the differ

naturalist. At one time he had two

as we'll with he first egg as with any

BOSTON, Feb. 9.-Readville Is to
be saved to the racing game. The
famous two-minute track is not to
pass, even If the followers OF the
sport around Boston do not make an
effort to save II. Help is coming from
outside, and before the week Is end
ed the property will. very likely be
under the management OF A. J. Welch.
The Hartford man believes that
Readville has a great future as rae
ing ground. and has been ready at
all times to do all in his power to
save Il. Had he not been In Europe
for the past few months he would
have taken over the property before
now
Whether he becomes the sole own
er or the head OF syndicate will not
be smade public until after a confer
ence with the breeders committee.
There is not much likelihood Of any
great amount of racing at Readyillo
this year, just enough to keep the two
minute course before the public, a
handicap or two and the American
Home Breeder futurities Another
year. however, IL will take its place
in line with a grand circuit meeting

ANOTHER CLOSE
RACE PREDICTED
Hy ALECk sULLIvAN.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Judging by
the present outlook, the coming East
ern league season will prove even
more prosperous than the one which
preceded 1t.
There have been many changes IN
:he arrangements OF the several clubs
since the close OF the 1908 season, al
OF which promise TO prove benencial.
"Will Baltimore win the pennant
again." is the cry heard all over the
circuit, but it seems to be the con-
sensus OF opinion that 1t won't. There
are too many frst-class teams for the
Orioles TO capture the bunting again.
or course, Baltimore Is naturally the
team picked to win by many close
students OF Eastern league doings, bit
Newark. Rochester, Providence, To
ronto, and, In fact, every other club
has a chance equally as good as Balti-
more TO win first honors.
Eastern league managers for 1909
are as follows
Baltimore-Johnny Dunn.
Providence-Hugh. Duffy.
Newark-Harry Wolverton.
Rochester-John Camel.
Buffalo-George Smith.
Toronto-Joe Kelley.
Jersey City-Hugh Mccain.
Montreal-Jimmy Casey.

Persistence Made Puny Lad
A Champion POle-Vaulter

slant study ard observation of his
work
He graduated from high school in
the spring OF 1903 and became a mem
Der of the Central Y. NJ. C. A. track
team. He was given some valuable
coaching while member of this team,
which greatly improved his work and
he soon became reliable point win
ner In every meet.
The best mark he made while
vaulting for the Y. NJ G. A. was IL
feet inches indoors and IL feet 6
inches outdoors. His gradual improve.
ment was due TO his mastery Of the
pull up and fling away" He had
learned much and the only thing he
lacked was the requisite strength In
the shoulders to pull himself up and
oyer the bar when trying for greater
height.
Under the watchful and helpful eye
OF Coach Stage, Jacobs began to de-
velop his shoulder muscles and over
came some bad faults in his APP
proaches, such as breaking his stride,
thereby losing the required momentum
TO lift him into the air. He was told
TO measure of his distance with his
pole and to run at the bar with the
greatest speed. He also was shown
how TO carry the pole SO that 1t would
not Impede his running and slow him
up TO any degree when about to stick
II into the board or ground.
These things Jacobs took to heart
and he worked hard TO overcome the
worst faults. He did this by placing
the bar at height which he knew he
could clear. When he had conquered
these drawbacks he gradually placed
the bar higher and higher until he
was able to clear II feet IL inches
at the western intercollegiate last
year.
Jacobs feat Of breaking the indoor
record was expected by those who
have seen him working this year. AT
the Bartlett gymnasium In practice he
has been doing close 10 twelve feet.
but there he is used TO the surround
irgs, which help considerably.
The new record holder is % years
old and weighs 1873 pounds. He is 5
feet inches IN height and slight OF
build. Aldtime vaulters who have
seen him In action are unanimous in
the opinion that he will be the world )
outdoor record holder before another
year rolls around.

That very considerable change IA
now In progress all over the country
IN the attitude OF the various states
toward Sunday bali is becoming stead
lily more evident. Sabbath games are
now regular feature OF the sport
in nearly all the large western cities
and the prevalence OF Sunday ball
throughout the middle west Is fairly
mirrored by the situation in Michi
gan where virtually all the cities OF
the major variety permit Sunday
games when In good hands and under
management which carefully prevents
any disorder or unreasonable demon
stration.
In the east, however. Sunday ball
has never been permitted, except in a
few localities. THAT CONDITION
Is NOT LIKELY. HOWEVER. TO
LONG REMAIN. In fact. II would be
no occasion for surprise II next year
Sunday ball games were scheduled In
at least two states where permissory
legislation Is now pending.
The most important Of these meas
ures 10 the one which 10 now before

This bill proposes to make legal on
Sunday such games as baseball, golf.
quolts and several other sports, though
carefully safeguarding any such
privileges by legislation which Will
prevent the abuse Of the privilege.
The bill IL introduced by Repre-
sentative dwell and Is understood I'd
be strongly favored by Robert Davis.
one OF the biggest politicians In the
state, who is also the owner or the
Jersey City club in the Eastern league.
It. chance for passage Is said to be-
very bright.
The importance Of Sunday ball In
New Jersey Is a matter SO great as TO
affect both the American and National
leagues. Sunday games could be
scheduled In New Jersey by both the
Philadelphia and both the New York
clubs, az the states boarders on op-
posite sides are within easy reach OF
both these cities.
Undoubtedly immense crowds could
be secured and the prosperity or both
leagues materially increased.
II has always been the claim OF the
champions OF Sunday baseball that the
privilege OF attending did far more
good than harm The local argument
which has always maintained that
Sunday ball hurt the Sunday saloon,
the Sunday theater and the lawless
Sunday outing more than II did the
Sunday church services Is greatly
strengthened by the perfect order
which has always maintained at Ben
nett park on the Sabbath. Although
the police, usually SO numerous during
the week, are entirely absent on Sun
DAYS. there has never been even hint
at any disorder.

PUBLIC GENERALLY TOWARD
SUNDAY BALL is oCCASlONED
