WHAT IT COSTS
TO own winner

New York, Nov 22.--The ambition
to breed or own the winner of a clas-
sic has been the incentive of running
and harness racing men from time inn
memorial. In Europe to breed or
race a winner of the famous handi-
caps, such as the ST. Leger at Dom
caster; the Derby at Epson Downs,
the Carwich at 10000 guineas, at New
has been the ambition of kings and
gentry for years.
In this country wealthy breeders
have expended millions of dollars for
the honor of breeding or owning a
Futurity winner or winner of one of
the many classic events. To win the
famous Merchants and Manufacture
ers Stake at Detroit, the Charter Oak
at Hartford, or the Pennsylvania at
Lexington, would satisfy the majority
of horse admirers in this country.
Only a few can claim the honor of
owning winner of the triple or dual
events.
Until 1904 only a single horse, Bor-
alma. won the Kentucky Futurity and
Pennsylvania; seven were double win
ners up to 1904 of the M and M, Char
Ter Oak and Transylvania, in single
year, Anderson's Nightingale won tho

Relma the M. and M. and Transyl-

vania in 1898, Lord Vincent, the same
stakes in 1899, Eleata the M. and NJ

of the disruption of the National
Hockey league and the formation OF
an outlaw combine are in the air. The
situation is tense and must be handled
most delicately.
All the turmoil was caused because
of proposition to limit the salaries of
hockey players to $500. This is ridicu-
lous when the wages of past seasons
are considered. The star puch chasers
of the Dominion have been in the hab
it of receiving as much as basebalrs
best performers for the amount of
work they do. They threaten open re-
bellion. Men like Fred Taylor, the
Patrick brothers, Bruce Stuart, Ernie
Russell, Pud Glass, Art Ross and
Riley Hern will never stand for the
cut. Last year some of them drew
four times $500, the proposed limit. 1t
is said that if the promoters do not
drop the idea, disgruntled players
will form league of their own.
Speaking of the situatioa, Russell
says: 1T is ridiculous, and the real
good players will never stand for it,

gerous game we do, and is able to
draw the thousands that we draw, he
will have to be well paid for it, or
they will have to do with the players
who will not be able to draw the
crowd
Hern is equally emphatic. He de-
clares: "They are foolish, and the
measure, if carried, will cause all sorts
of abuses thus far unknown. Men VIII
pretend to accept the small salaries
offered, and the clubs will pretend tt
pay them and then give one anothe
the double cross, and some private
person interested in the fortunes Of
the club will present the players with
sum Of money as great again as the
supposed salary, the money presum-
ably being taken of his personal es-
TEEN, but really coming out of the
clubs exchequer. Hockey players who
attract thousands are worth a certain
salary and they will have to get 1t
some way or another, or they won't

sold at a profit at that certain price.
THE thing that has hurt the motor
business more than anything else has
been the poor machines, half baked
manufactured with the best intentions
perhaps and are really the pride of the
designer and maker, that failed to de-
liver service in proportion to the cost
after they reached the public. There
has been an overproduction doubtless
ly in the medium priced and cheap
car field. However, even among the
costlier cars there have been offered
machines which failed to satisfy.
This condition was expected by all
who were in the industry on sound
basis and call it the automobile
business rather than the automobile
game A great many men played the
game and are getting called to a
settlement. On the other hand certain
makers have, from the beginning.
maintained a conservative policy.
While their growth has not been spec
tacular 1t has been sure, positive,
steady. These conservative manufac-
turers mostly found among the cars
selling for $4,000 and over are going
right ahead with extensions for 1911.
1T Is the cars of spectacular origin
and growth which are suffering most
at the present time. Our concern is
only one of several old and soundly

and now some of them appear to de-

ANOTHER DEMAND
| FOR GIL. DOBIE

The Duluth Herald has an article
touching up Coach Williams of the
Minnesota football team and concludes
with a boost for Gil Dobie, formerly
coach Of the A. G.. and now of the
University of Washington The Herald
says:
On the Pacific coast there is young
man who has achieved wonderful
success with every football team he
has handled This man is graduate
Of the University Of Minnesota. He
has gone forth and compelled srecogni-
ton, and slowly but surely he is be-
ginning to win recognition at home.
This man is Gilmore Dobie, and 1t
is high time that the athletic authori-
ties of the University Of Minnesota al
least paid some heed to the growing
fame of this young man. There are
those who proclaim this chap a second
Yost. His success at every institution
he has coached at would indicate at
least thorough understanding of the
game, and that is something that com
pels success.
There has been a cry at the univer-
sity for Dobie before. He has a large
Following among the students. But the
student voice does not control at Min
nesota. Williams is better politician
than coach, and he has dealt with
the athletic board automatically.
1t might be winning move to give
Dobie trial. With the wealth of ma
terial at Minnesota this man could
defeat Chicago, Wisconsin, Nebraska,
Indiana, Ames and the other teams
that Williams has sometimes succeeded
in defeating, and il he failed to bring
home the highest honors to Minnesota
he would not be doing any worse than
DIR. Fl. l.. Williams
At least the selection of Dobie would
not be overlooking a. chance to choose
a man who is coming, who has made
good, and man who has graduated
from the schools of this very state.
Authorities at Minnesota overlooked
the chance to get Yost as a coach; it
might be possible that Dobie Is an
other Yost, man with a personality
that inspires confidence, respect and
fight in his men. He is worth the
chance-at least. his record would SO
indicate.
