DRIVERS MUST BE COOL.
John Splan Says Reinsmen Are Often
to Blame for Loss of Races.

John Splan. one OF the most famous
of the old school of trainers and driv-
ers of harness racers. says that a good
driver is as essential as a good horse
Il don't know" SpIan further says,
that good man could do much with
a. stock of a horse, but I have seen
many good horse defeated that would
have won if his driver had. known his
business. Just what makes a good
driver you can't tell. Such q man has
got to more than sit behind a horse
He must look out for the shoeing. must
get the horses head just right, and
know how he must be fed and harness
ed There are a hundred things be-
sides the mere driving that he must
have his eye on, and be studying.
Horses are just as different as are peO-
pie. Some are nervous, fretting and
stewfng all the time, and others are so
cool that a cyclone would not make
them jump. There is one thing a driv-
er must have, and that is a cool head.
He must not be all down when he does
not win, or all up when he does, but
he has to take it as he comes and go
at it again. / have seen men on the
track with money UP on their horses
who were SO worked up about it as an
old lady that has got to have her teeth
pulled out. That will never do

They Don't Know Fine Points of Ring

Boxing fans want to see somebody s

QUIET BASEBALL SESSION.
American League Magnates in Peace
fuI M0od-No Schedule Adopted.

Chicago, Feb 15.-The first days
session of the annual schedule meet
ing of the American league proved un-
eventful. No action was taken on the
adoption of the 1910 schedule, and the
adoption of new agreement to con-
tinue the league also was postponed
until tomorrow.
The adoption of a new agreement to
replace then ten year one which ends
in November of this year was discaSs-
ed at length. and there appeared TO be
some difference Of opinion as to the
length of the agreement All the club
owners agreed that the league should
continue, and many favored a perpet-
ual agreement
No Change in Spikes.
The report of the committee recon-
mending the use of the present style of
spikes on shoes during the coming sea-
son was adopted.
It was decided that the Philadelphia
club in future should settle on the same
basis as the other teams. Philadelphia
formerly settled on the basis of II L.
cents for every admission on it's home
grounds and received the same on the
road. In the future It will settle~on
the basis of IL 1-2 cents for each rs
cent admission and rs cents each for
all others. This will put all the clubs
on the same basis of settlement, both
at home and on the road.

The Bell Didn't Work
 A Very Narrow Escape
A Work Train Missed the Wells Fargo Wagon by the Fraction of an
 Inch.

There came near being a serious ac- cident on tine Mill avenue crossing of the M. X P. road yesterday as a di- rect result of the failure of the auto matic bell signal to work. Attention has been directed to this bell before and it has since that time been re- paired. There is something about it.. however. that tails to stand the wear and after working for a few days it again becomes useless. For some lit- tie time past now it has been out of operation and it was this condition yesterday that was responsible for the very narrow escape of c. A. Goodwin.
 Mir. Goodwin was driving in his ex- press wagon and had just left the Blinn lumber yard going to his office. He was unable to see up the track on account of the yard and did not notice that the work train was backing down the grade at a fair rate of speed un- til the horse was on the track and the caboose was within few feet of him. There was not time to complete the crossing and Mir Goodwin jamed on the brake and pulled the horse to the right, off the track and into the ditch. The caboose grazed the wheels of the wagon and passed by.

Schools Stay Closed
 Until Next Monday
Mayor Barnett and Prof. Robertson Canvass For Expression of Pop
 uiar Opinion.

Notwithstanding the announcer ient that the schools will reopen tomorrow, they will remain closed until the end of next week. The quarantine which was to have been removed tonight inn pinges upon the question of reopenihg the schools and concerning the advis- ability of that move opinions vary.
 The school trustees. thinking the situation safe, and relying further up- on vigilance and present fumigation. decided Saturday to resume the school work on Wednesday of this week. An nouncement to that effect was made public over the signature of Prof. II. C. Robertson.
 But it developed that some adverse opinion existed on the subject, some parents believing it might be better in the interests of complete safety to postpone the opening until next Mon day. Mayor Barnett was divided in his mind as to the advisability of re- moving the quarantine, and the prob lem finally settled down yesterday up- on that other problem of opening or not opening the schools. To obtain an expression of opinion he and Pro- lessor Robertson canvassed the town yesterday afternoon. In the meantime the latter had also become somewhat undecided. While he naturally wished the schools to get down to q working basis as soon as possible. he preferred a few days delay in case health req sons made it necessary.
 After talking with number of the business men around town, it was considered the part of wisdom to keep the schools closed until Monday.
