FIERING'S MARK
Will NOT STAND

Marquette, Mich, March 1.-THE
slide of the Ishpeming club holds the
official record cor the greatest jump
ever made on skce hill i'm the United
States. This is the decision of Aksel
H. Hotter, of Ashland, Wis, secretary
of the National Skee association, and
an acknowledged authority on the
great winter sport of the Scandinavian
peninsula The leap which has set a
new official record for America was
made by August Nordby, of Superior
Wis when with other professional
riders he took part in Marquette
county's big annual tournament Feb
%, last. The jump was 140 feet. This
is two feet greater than the official

'FORKERS SWAMPED
BY 42-I7 SCORE

The Grand Forks Y. NJ C.. A. met an
overwhelming defeat at the hands of
the local association last night The
final score was AZ to IL. 1t is claimed
that the Forks did not send their reg
ular team, at any rate they didn't show
up well. On the whole, the game was
rather loose with some occasional
sprints and fast work.
Fargo had some excellent men and
they played good ball. Forth, Loft
house and Cruickshank all played great
ball. Hutchson stared for the visitors.
There was a large crowd, but the one
sidedness rather disappointed them.
Yet 1T showed good enthusiasm for ex-
ceptional plays. Conmy handled the
game in excellent manner as referee,
and Pollock did well as umpire. The
game was free from wrangIing and was
clean throughout.
During the rest between halves, a
gymnastic squad composed of oliver,
Heller, Ries. Cole and Pfaff put on some
clever stunts on the parallel bars. The
feats were warmly applsuded by the
crowd. Refreshments were served by
the Y. w. c. A.

LACK OF ENTHUSIASM
Officials OF Western Canada League
Are Active. in Starting the Ball
Rolling, Says Peg Paper.

Winnipeg Free Press: While all the
cities in the Western Canada Baseball
league excepting Brandon. are eager
for the opening of the season, the or
ganization itself Is badly in need of
stirring up. President Eckstrom of
Lethbridge, has done little or nothing
since his election. 1t is understood
he is not at home, while with the pres
ent lack of enthusiasm at Brandon, w
Weatherstone the league vice-presi-
dent, is not anxious to take the initia-
tive toward setting the ball rolling.
No successor to Jack Lamb as secre-
tary, has been appointed, but John
Cousins, who has been mentioned N
connection with the position, has rush
ed into the breach and Is endeavoring
to arrange meeting for Brandon next
Monday, when the league affairs can
be threshed out.
1t is certainly time something was
done.
Medicine Hats Good Support.
Medicine Hat, Alta, March 12.-Al-
most $4,000 has been subscribed within
the last two days to start the local
team off for the season in the Western
Canada league. Manager Billy Hamil-
ton reports that the contract signing is
going ahead steadily. The pitching
staff is promising material strength
and the additions to the infield will
help the team out in batting.

Italians Praise Leo.

Pittsburg. March 12.-Leo Pardello
is today being praised by local Italians
for the showing he made last night
when he proved the stumE block
which prevented Zbysczko. the Pol
ish grappler, from throwing three men
in one hour. Adolph Specht lasted two
minutes with the big Pole, and Paul
Pons of Massachusetts, in a pIucky
battle, remained over fourteen minutes.
Pardello remained over the twenty
minutes allotted to the three men,
causing Zbysczko to lose the match.

"Marque," in The Horse Review, has
an interesting article on Rating and
Its Value, from which the following ex-
tract is made:
A group of drivers were discussing
racing affairs during the recent Chi
cago sale, and while the gossip was of
general character, one remark that was
made struck me as being worth stow
ing away for future use. 1t was:
More races are lost through bad rat
ing than from any other cause" The
trainer who made this observation is
a modest fellow, not given to exploit
ing his own merits or attempting to
advertise his wisdom, so / will refrain
from giving his name. But his state
ment is correct, and IL drivers would
pay more attention to the rating feat
ure, many races that they have lost
would now be credited to them in the
summaries. Many races are lost
through the inability OF drivers to take
advantage of the fact that a foot lost
in starting away from the wire must
be made up, and consequently consti-
tutes that much of handicap. Driv-
ers who are of different temperament
get into the habit. of scoring several
lengths behind, and you find them con-
stantly cursing the starting judge for
giving them the word so far back.
True some horses cannot be taught to
score fast, but much Of the trouble
may be attributed to the fact that the
drivers lack the vim and dash neces-
sary to inspire their horses, and get
them away as they should. But it's
on the alf-mile tracks that speed is
more often squandered. PAGERS of the
hobbled brigade that chance to be driv-
en- by gentlemen whose previous ex-
perience had been confined to hustling
around livery barns, get some awful
drives. I recall an occasion when a
steed and driver of this description
started on a half -mile track, and when
the first circuit was made the remain
der of the field were so far astern that
we had to strain our eyes to tell
whether they were coming or going.
The driver, ex-chamber maid in the
Palace Livery, had set sail at the word
and with his arms high in the air. his
voice raised in whoops and yells, tore
around the track as il death and ven
geance pursued him. The first hall
was done in 1:021s, but in the tedious
process of crawling home on his hands
and knees, every horse of the field
beat the hobbIer to the wire. When
the driver dismounted he turned to the
caretaker, who happened to be an old
timer, and remarked: did you ever

The question of salt or mo salt"
for horses and cattle is being thor
oughly discussed in the horse papers
of late. Strong arguments are being
presented on both sides. There is one
point which appears we'll taken, i. e.,
that stock should be allowed to be the
judge-that is salt should not be fore
ed into them by being placed in the
food-but should be placed where the
horse can do as he likes-lick it or let
1t alone.

If George Gano and Minor Heir ever
beat Lady Maud G. and Hedgewood
Boy in 9. race for blood they will know
they have been to race. 1t is gener-
ally conceded the famous Lady Maud
and Hedgewood Boy are IS near the
perfect pole team as has ever been
hooked up and are of that disposition
that they can be gotten right up on
their tip-toes without the possibility
of going to a break-and that Is one of
the difficulties of the average pole
team. Minor Heir and George Gano
are of a more nervous disposition,
hence are more apt to go to a break
which in a pole-team race would be
very likely to grove disastrous. But
we shall see. AS attractions" they
will be par excellence.
With a continuance of the present
weather conditions horsemen through
out North Dakota will be busy Jogging
their horses preparatory to the races
later on. In fact a large majority of
them have been jogging moderately for
some weeks past. The old custom Of
pulling off the horses shoes in the fall
and freezing him out around a straw
stack has been relegated to the rub
bish heap OF antiquity, and the horse
man of today makes use of the winter
months to get his horse big, strong
and healthy so that he can be gotten
into condition to go to the races in
much shorter time than used to be the
case, when a horse was soft and fabby
when his work commenced in the
spring.
