ferred to the big four is noteworthy.
The resource of these four men Is
what / fear They are never twice
alike, and always come out top for
some new and unexpected move. If
our men could read their minds they
would probably beat them, but they
have to be occupied in trying to read
minds while the Americans are scor-
ing fast Obviously the form in the
first period was not the form of the
game. Nor was 1t necessary that 1t
should be. The first period had won
the game
The above version is wrong in al
most every essential, although the
English cannot be blamed for be-
lieving that something was doing
when the betting beforehand indi-
Gated an English victory and the
game itself showed an American
triumph. But all this was pure I'M
adulterated lack Of good Judgment.
England showed us hashy polo and
we took it for stability. America
showed us no fiourishes and we took
1t for lack of quality When the
teams met on the polo field, though,
the spirit, the dash, the certainty
were so apparent, so much in evil
dence, that the English were not only
surprised, but they were put COM
pletely to rout. Betting doesn't mean
anything when the game is on the
level and this has been proved time
and time again.

fale's defeat in the baseball cham
pionship game by Harvard was to be,
that's all there Is to it. 1t was known
beforehand that the Crimson would
beat the Blue, but it was kept a dark
secret until after the contests were
over Now, however. the cat is out,
and the bag is empty. 1t came about
in a dream, and Bernie Tommers. a
former Yale pitcher and one of the
present coaches, did the dreaming. He
dreamed that Harvard would win
the final game to 5, and Harvard did
win to D. What story that would
have been to have been told before
hand!
@
Yale, it seems, has had other dream
ers in other years. Tad Jones, for in
stance, saw In a dream the Ellis going
down before the Crimson but Jones.
so the story runs, prayed so hard and
so feryently that the dream was over
come and Yale won the game. A
yarn was also told how Coach Ken
nedy with weak crew escaped de-
feat in the race with Harvard. Ken
nedy's sister, anxious for victory,
prayed night and day Tor the success
of Yale. She told her brother so, and
he, good man, replied: well, Har-
ward could have all your prayers my
girl, II l had eight huslSies in our
boat like the Crimson crew has in
her she'll" Dreams come true and
they don't come true, and prayers are
not always answered Luck of a
game is much of a game, but the big
man and the better man will win as
a general thing.

With thoroughbred racing in no
particular propitious prospect, the
prices secured for the horses owned
by the late Charles Kohler, who was
a resident of Newark, were rather
astounding. OF course Mr.. Kohler
had good stock, but even at that the
prices were very much on the high
side. Just twenty head were sold in
the paddock at Belmont and $32, 225
were paid for them. 1t may mean
several things. 1t may indicate that
the racing game is on the boom or it
may mean that good horses will
bring a good price at any time. The
top price of the sale was $500,
which sum was paid for Tranid, a
dandy filly, by Voter-True Love. Mr.
Kohler was on the road to build up
a famous stable and he probably
would have been one of the leading
turfmen in the country if he had
lived. During his early residence
here he always liked the horses, and
as he amassed wealth he eventually
became an owner. His death robbed
the turf of a grand sportsman. Mr.
kohler, it is not generally known.
was related to William Weingarth,
the bowler.
Mr.. Baretto, the official timer at
Belmont, Is certain that he correctly
timed the great Whisk Broom II. in
his victorious race in the Suburban
Handicap. Although the doubt is
rather general that Whisk Broom II.
made the mile and d quarter in 2:02
fiat, Mr.. Baretto has submitted the
fractional quarters made by the horse
in the Brooklyn as well as the Subur-
ban. After studying the times, 1t is
just as likely as not that the official
