DAN PATCH HAS
 MADE NEW RECORD

Minneapolis. March 4.-Dan Patch, l:55, did not lower any worlds track records in 1910, but he did nevertheless win a worlds record that is even niore highly considered by the expert horse men and breeders of the country.
 Through the performances of his colts Dan Patch became the worlds cham pion sire of extreme speed for his age and he won this honor in spite of the fact that up to the present time he has been trained and campaigned with out cessation and has never had the chance that a large number of the worlds great sires have had in the colt producing line.
 Some years ago M. W. Savage made the prediction that Dan Patch would some day rank with the worlds great est speed getterS. large proportion of the breeders refused to take this prediction seriously notwithstanding the fact that they admitted Dan to be in a class by himself as performer. Today, however. the opinion of the experts has been changed and now they are wondering just how much further Dan will go.
 Up to date Dan Patch has 39 colts that have qualified and have been reg istered Out of this number nine have been marked in 2:10 or better and there are at least five or six more on the International farm that would have been added to the list had not weather conditions made impossible a proposed meeting at the farm last fall.
 The horse that, for his age, comes closest to Dams record as a producer of extreme speed is Binger, who has the same number of colts in the 2:10 list as Dan. but is three years his senior. From present prospects, it seems almost certain that Dan Patch at the same age will surpass all of the great sires. even Mckinney, who at present heads the list with the phe nomenal number of 23 colts in the 2:10 list to his credit.
 Following Is a list of the worlds greatest sires, their ages and the num- Der of their colts that have paced or trotted In 2:10 or better:

Anniston, March cial)-President c. II.

 No ruling has yet been received from the National association in the contest between the Anniston- -Gadsden fac- tions of the league and the Knoxville Asheville MorristoWn contingent. Tho three latter cities, which withdrew from the league at the recent meeting at Knox vile, had their franchises given to Hunts vile, Selma and Decatur In the event they win out in the fight the name of the league will be changed by the south ern cities, and the organization held in- tact under new name. Otherwise the players of the northern cities will be di- vided equally among the southern cities ill the league.
 Manager B. R. Howard of the Selma team spent Thursday in Anniston. He states that the fans of that place are enthusiastic over the prospect of league ball and that he had no trouble in get ting the money to finance the Selma club.
