SPORT SPICE
DIAMOND GOSSIP

LONDON: With the sport under
Jockey club rules past, we shall
hardly see contest without jumps
this quarter. There is a strong
desire to revive these flat races,
on the ground that they give anna
tours chance of riding in public
in an unambitious manner, and
that some of them may train on
and take to riding over a country,
as it were. These events got a
very bad name, and 1t is to be
feared that the name was deserved,
but there is a much stricter super
vision of National Hunt sport now
than there used to be, and If p
vein of amateur talen Is to be tap
ped, many would be glad to see a
revival Of the once discredited
stakes, Notwithstanding that a flat
race usually appears a bit tame in
the midst of races over a country
and over hurdles. The diminution
in the number of gentlemen riders
is mainly due to the discourage
ment of the sport by the military
authorities. They prefer book
soldiers" to practical horsemen.

He went to Wonderland, In
Whitechapel, and begged for a

with curly hair and the face of a
scholar, whose name they had
never heard. He was matched with
Corporal Brown, burly, heavy,
rough-and-tumble fighter, with
more ring experience than boxing
science.
Brown went to sleep in the first
round.
Eugene CORR, the referee of the
National sporting club, heard OF
Wells, who boxed several times for
him ia private. Then CORR said :
"We have found at last in Eng

81 see," said Clarke Griffith-at
least Clarke Is credited with say
ing it-"that the scientists have
traced the game back to ancient
Egypt"
"That right" queried big Larry
Mclean. Il thought it started In
1912 in New York"
Nope" said Griff. ut merely
came to life. The inscriptions on
the pyramids and on tablet found
in the tomb of Sesostris prove
baseball was played $500 years
ago, and that the championship OF
the Egyptian league for 1913 b. C.
was settled by five-game series
between Memphis adm Cairo"
"Ah, come on Clarke, what d'you
think l am? Memphis is in the
Southern league and Cairo's Is in
the Kitty. They amt even in the
same circuit and never was"
And Clarke Griffith fell into the
handiest chair with q moan that
caused scurrying among the bell
hops for restoratives.
Greatest OF his day was Tim
Keefe, the pitching sta rof the
Giants when they deserved t9e
name-the same being in the days
of Ewing, Keefe, Tiernan, WEIGH
and the rest of that great aggre-
cation. Speed, control, change of
pace, fast breaking curves, nerve
Tim had them all-and slow bail
that caused more backaches than
hod carrying.
According to Pop Arson, Tim
Keefe had in his repertoire a ball
that acted like spitball. But 1t
wasn't a spitball. When Keefc
was coaching the Harvard pitch
ers he showed them this slow ball,
which he held in the palm Of his
hand, gripping IT. with his thumb.
How he controlled the ball is a
mystery, for while he tried to show
it to the sons of John Harvard, not
a man could make it behave.
