BR|TONS PRAISE
YANKEE RIDERS
Criticism From Court Brings Out
Large Number of Defenders

London, July 29.-Justice Darling's
suggestion i'm his recent summing UP
in the Wooton- Sewer case. that the
Jockey club prohibit Jockeys from rid
ing American style and to which he at
tributed a large number of the bump
ing and fouling disputes, does not meet
with much favor among leading own
ers, trainers and jockeys. Since the
declaration by judge of the king
bench division many leading jockeys
who have adopted what is known as
the monkey crouch" have been expcr-
imenting with longer stirrup feathers.
They do not consider it effective, cs-
pcCially when pulling up after a race
and II majority emphatically say they
much prefer the new style.
Among the leading owners and
trainers the opinion prevails that the
American style is far more effective
when used by a good horseman. as IL
not only enables him to run straighter.
but it enables him to run faster. They
also declare legislation will not i'm
prove race riding.
Lord Lonsdale is one of those who
thinks it is impossible To legislate "A
Jockeys seat or the length of the stir
rup leather, but he says: when bump
ing occurs the stewards should sus-
pend the guilty party in every case
for month until the boy has learned
that To ride with the American style
scat has its racing advantages.
AS it is adopted by many boys
however, it brings about the most det-
rimCntal results and causes endless
humping, which frequently makes it
impossible to distinguish between in
territorial or accidental foulinE."

BASEBALL VS.. CRICKET.
American Game Losing Out in Canada,
Say Australians.

Baseball is doomed to miserable
death in Canada, according To the
Australian cricketers who are now i'm
New York. Baseball was unwillingly
forced upon the people of the domin-
ion, say the visiting Australians. who
made the further startling assertion
that there is decided movement ON
foot in Canada TO GUST the great Amer
lean pastimc in favor of the English
national game of cricket.
Anyway, in a course of their mis-
sionary trip across the continent from
Victoria, Is, c., at every place at which
they played the Australians were well
coined with the widest enthusiasm. At
their port of entry the mayor even de-
clared a public holiday on the day of
the match and the whole town turned
out with bands and banners to watch
the local players battle with the col
onists.
The movement To popularizc cricket
in Canada emanates from the schools.
colleges and universities.

PREPARING FOR
GRID|R0N GAME
Increased Interest at Michigan
This Fall Is Forecasted

Ann Arbor, Mich, July 29.-Not
since summer school was inaugurated
at Michigan has there been the healthy
interest in athletics that marks the
present session. and this is true de-
spite the fact that the weather at this
time of year, and particularly this
summer has been such as would tend
to discourage anything more strenu-
out than lying in the shade and sip
ping cooling drinks.
Nevertheless, football, baseball and
tennis men are working out, and the
additional drill gained this season
should help these athletes when the
regular college season rolls around for
the best attendance, but this is only
natural considering that this is the
regular time of the year to beat a ball
to death with chunk of willow. Be
fore the regular season was ended
temporary committee drew tentative
plans tor the summer baseball league
and as soon as the formalities of reg
sration were over the plan was put
