WANT UNIFORM CODE
FOR HARNESS RACING

NEW YORK, February S.-The rules
committee of the National Trotting As
ISOLATION, which is. in session at the
Murray Hill Hotel yesterday discussed
many of the changes In rules which are
to be submitted to the trotting congress
to be held in this city tomorrow. The
committee took up several of the proposed
changes yesterday, but there is such
bulk of suggestions this year that it will
take another days session before they are
all considered. Afl effort Is being made
this year to bring into closer harmony
the rules governing both the National
and the American Tretting Associations,
At times there has heen a wide variance
in the manner in which these two bodies
conduct the same sport, and many en-
thusiasts believe that 1t Is time there
was more uniformity about the light
harness racing.

There have been many suggestions
forwarded to the committee about changes
in the rules that it will be Impossible
| to consider all of them, but from present
indications more changes will be MADE
this year than in previous years one
rule discussed yesterday was that III le-
lation to the distance flag. The two trot-
ting associations place this at different
distances from the wire. and an effort Will
| be made to adopt a uniform distance. 1t
seems very likely that the trotting as
| ISOLATION will adopt a new system of TIM
| ing horses, and will adopt the scheme
used at the running tracks, timing the
performances by fractions of one-f1fth OF
| a second, instead of quarter seconds. Inc
suggestion to grant three seconds allow
| ance for a horse making a record on a
half-mile track over a horse making a
| record on mile track was one OF the
topics considered yesterday All the
grand circuit records were looked over
and the committee will have to be fully
convinced that such a difference really ex-
lists before change Of this kind is recon-
mended.
| The committee was in session all day
yesterday and last night and convened
again this morning for another ail-oay
session. The national trotting congress
will meet at the Murray Hill Hotel To-
morrow afternoon.

| ton Is again slated for reelection as head

QUAKERS UP IN ARMS.
Failure to Get in Golf Ranking
Arouses Some Talk,

NEW YORK, February S.-The fac;
that Philadelphia golfers as individual
players are not taken more seriously
by critics seems to have struck a tender
spot in the City of Brotherly Love. 1t
is matter Of record that for years those
who have been responsible for the unof
fetal rankings have with almost unvary-
ing consistency ignored the Philadelphia
amateurs.
Until the latest INST was compiled the
eastern golfers claimed most of the lead
ing places, but now the first sixteen is
made up from about an equal division of
eastern and western experts. In the east
the favored players represent New York
and Boston districts, while In the west
Chicago claims nearly oil the good ones.
s In defense of Philadelphia 1t has been
pointed out that collectively It's team has
on more than one occasion made a good
showing in the Lesley cup matches. In
fact, two years ago, at Brookline, the
Quaker city delegation eliminated Boston
in the preliminary contest, only to lose
to New York the following day. Last fall
Philadelphia met defeat In the contest
with Boston by the narrow margin of a
single match. while in the decisive clash
New York defeated Boston by only the
same scant margin.
This, then, would seem to prove Phla
Ielphia's strength collectively Where
there is more than ordinary collective
strength there is bound to exist a certain
amount of individual merit, which. if
given sufficient opportunity, might sue
coed I'm proving a right to national rec
ognition. AS it is Philadephians seldom
appear in tournaments outside their own
district, and this is more particularly so
with regard to the national fixtures
Therefore the inference is that If they
played more away from home they would
stand higher. When asked for their opin-
ions on the subject James Thomson, the
Philadelphia Country Club professional,
and Jack Campbell, the Overlook PRO, >
both declared that the Philadelphia anna
teurs compare favorably with those of
any other city. Here is Thomson's opin-
ion:

The basket ball team from George

attending practice the last few days.
His loss will be a severe blow to the
prospects for winning quint. but Man
ager Horn is feeling little more cheer
full since David Coyeli one Of the stars
of two years ago, and at one time captain
Of the team, has made his appearance.
Covell is a senior in college this year
and has been prevented from making a
try for the team owing to the pressure
of studies. 1t was only after learning
of Capt. Fowler's illness that he made
up his mind to appear-a decision which
entails a big sacrifice for him. He had
no trouble il making position, and,
along with Appiebaum, will hold down
his old job at forward. Marsh and Ellis
will play the guards, with Prince at cen
ter Lucas will be taken as utility man.
The team has a strenuous week before
it. After tonight's game the squad re-
turns, only to depart Thursday for the
game with Mount St Mary's. Saturday
night the contest with Virginia will be
pulled off at Charlottesville.

Jimmy Coffroth, who is at present in

decision to Matty Baldwin recently the
indications are that -Attell will decline TO
fight Moran and take on Driscoll.

Figure-Skating Championship.

NEW YORK, February S.-With the
American figure-skating championship to
be held under the same rules as govern
those of European contests, there will no
doubt be greater interest taken in them
from every point of view than ever be-
fore.
The fact that these rules will govern
will be welcome news to those interested
in ice skating in this country, for it puts
the championship here on the same level
as those of other countries. In fact, the
International Skating Union will this sea-
son hold the events under exactly the
same conditions as govern those of for
eign countries. This welcome news was
sent out by the secretary of the union,
who also announced that the champion
ship events will be held during either the
latter part of this month or early in
March, at either the st. Nicholas Rink in
New York or the new Arena in Boston.
