A writer in the last issue OF The
Horse Review remarks: Some drivers
cannot sit still when horse is doing
his best and let him alone, but push
and disturb him until he goes off his
feet because of their interference alone.
A class can never ride behind and
await the opportune time to make a
drive and forge to the front, when not
off in the lead, and they take the tuck
out of their horses at the wrong point
! to win at the wire. 1t takes a greater
refnsman TO ride behind than in front,
in some respects, and he is master
who never commits an error by pump
ing out his horse to no account so far
as winning is concerned. Some race
drivers too, are like a class of horses
that when collared become faint heart
ed and lose their grit and gumption
and give up, when If they kept up cour-
age and the struggle they would come
off victors. They are what, when APP
piled to horses. are termed CUTTERS; +"
and there are occasions no doubt when
the poor horse is blamed for quitting
that exact truth would locate 1t at the
other end of the reins that are fast
ened to the bit. Falling short before
the wire is reached also might be ac-
counted for in horses chargeable TO

Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles,
retired, who is q great lover of trot-
tiers, having driven frequently in past
years on the New York speedway, was

Cleveland has certainly won the ban
ner record for entries. No association
in the history of the trotting turf ever
received such magnificent entry list
to its early closing events. 1t is a
most eloquent tribute to the popularity
of the track and the president of the
association and splendid evidence OF
the industry of the secretary.
The Ohio stake of $4,000 for the
2:14 trotting class has secured levia-
thon list of f1fty-one and it certainly
includes nearly all the eligible mem
bers of the class. Nineteen are named

The 2:10 trot, has sixteen nominations

wards stake, has thirty-o one entries
and here the turf expert will have
plenty of room for speculation. The

wonder but he went ''off'' and was held

early events, SO we must presume that
he has rounded TO. Ian Bar is a Ca

concerned, is the greatest rec
ord breaker in the history OF the trot-

BASKET SHOOTERS IN
CENTER OF ATHLETICS

f! Basketball now occupies the center
of the stage and from now until the
early part of March the big collegiate
games will follow in rapid succession
and the hopes based on months OF
practice will be realized or shattered
| Basketball is unique in one particular
and that is, while being a game that
emphasizes most thoroughly the value
of team play, it requires at the same
time that each player be highly
skilled specialist
In football it is possible to win with
one or two weak members on the team
but in basketball, if there be a single
flaw or a weak member there is little
hope for success. OF all games played
by our American youth. basketball
holds the palm for speed. strenuous,
| aggressive, fighting speed The teams
must be trained to go for 20 minutes
without a letup. for to falter is to lose
in the great indoor game.
1t is surprising that game as young
as basketball is could find a welcome
place in the lives of American sports
men. When James Naismith nailed a
couple of peach baskets to the wall of
the old gymnasium at Springfield
training school, and taking a rubber
football urged his fellow students to
take a try at the new game he had
invented, none of the group who were
in at the birth of basketball, realized
what an immense place it would fill in
the athletic life of our people.
Thousands Play 1t.
This was in 1892 and since that day
thousands and thousands of American
boys and girls have benefited and
gained in physical strength by playing
the game While basketball permits of
marvellous individual skill and demands
superb teamwork, it has the added
value of being enjoyed by the novice
as we'll as by the expert 1t would be

The latest convert to Rugby is the
university of Southern California,
where it is almost certain to be Off
cially introduced this season. The stu
strong for it and President Baer is
also in favor of it's adoption imme-
diately.
1t is the general verdict down that
way, in spite of the opposition created
by a few old intercollegiate players,
that Rugby has come to stay and only
a matter of a very short time before
it will be played all over the continent.
The men at Los Angeles are already
planning to go out of their own terri
tory for games this fall, and there is
every probability of meetings between
the southern colleges and those fur

But year after year this same verdict

The real reason of failure in this re-

the coaches to abide by the decisions
of the committee, who, while agreeing
upon notifications and reforms, never
attempt to put them into practice
where their own individual work is
concerned. Then again. there is great
