TRAIN TROTTING HORSES
 TO THE SADDLE

THEE versatility of the American trot-
 ting bred horse has been proved times beyond number in recent years. not Sonly in this country, but in Europe. South America and Australia, says an expert. Originally a horse used for general purposes of light nature and largely thoroughbred in and about 1880. when trotting races under sad d1e were the vogue. later being rele- gated to speedy work in harness on prepared tracks, the American bred trotter has developed along lines far removed from that of his proEenitor the blood horse, yet compares favor ably with the thoroughbred saddle horse under a variety of conditions where stamina and endurance are call cd for

Since the advent of the automobile there is but small market for roadsters- and it has been suEgested many times by wealthy horsemen and others that quite a num- her of colts should be trained to trot under saddle to meet the growing de- rnand. The parks in the large cities are today crowded with riders who ride for The exercise to be derived from it. mrd- they get this best when their horses move at a sharp trot.

They borrowed Pete Lavelle from the Pittsburgh Nationals to catch me in a couple of games, thinking it would steady me. AS a pitcher I was failure. However, while in the games as a twir1er I banged couple of hits over the fence, and they made me an outf1e1der, put ting me in, the middle garden
 The following spring the Pittsburgh pclub signed me, and w. W. Kerr, who then owned the Pirates, wanted to farm me out to Kansas City. but in sisted that it was too far from home, so he sent me to Paterson. N. J., in the Atlantic league. I played with Pater- son all of that year and until June 29, 1897, when the Louisville club, then owned by Barney Dreyfuss, my pres ent employer, bought my release The CoIonels were managed by Fred Clarke. and the secretary of the club was the late Harry c. Pu1liam, later secretary of the Pirates and still later president of the National league. Harry was one of the best friends ever had.'

Ians Wagner's Start Tn Baseball

NOW that Hans Waguers days as 8
 regular are about over his career
 might be interesting to the fans.
 Wagner the big German, was born
 in what is now Carnegie, Pa, on Feb.
 24, 1874. His father, who is still living, was a. coal miner in those days, and he
 decided that John P. should help him in his work. So Honus was packed off to the mines to help. dad every day. Hans was not lazy, but he didn't like the black darkness of the earths in tertor. and many a-. warming he re- cetved for playing hockey from the bituminous section and scampering off
 for game of baseball with other kids of the neighborhood. A correspondent recently approached the big fellow and asked him to tell how he came to break into baseball. Honus pondered for moment, and then spun the following yarn about his tsearly experience: 'T broke into baseball by posing as my brother AL We were playing ball around home. Al received an offer from Canton, O., before he was offered
 9 place with the Mansfield (O.) club in
 the same league. The day he got the

 baSernan, however, and Taylor decided to take a chance with me
 HIt so happened that Mansfield play ed Canton that day. My brother was in the lineup of the Canton team and the pitcher 'Toots' Barrett, was also from Carnegie. or Mansfield, as it was

Griffith to Change System of Getting New Players

MANAGER CLARK GRIFFTTRS de-
 termination never to make an- other attempt to strengthen his team by purchasing players which other ma 5or' league clubs are willing to sell means that he proposes to develop youngsters from time to time to take the places of the players who fail to make good
 The failure Of Pitcher RGul1in to come through decided Griffith on new poll icy. Last year he hoped to stop the slump the Nationals were in because of the weakness of the pitching staff by purchasing Vaughn and Pelty, and neither made good. This year he pick ed up AEu1lin, and, like the others se- cured from rival clubs. he did not prove of help to the team. Realizing that the Nationals chances for a good position in the race, without considering the pennant, depends entirely on the deveI- opment of several young pitchers, he has concluded to give these youngsters R chance by working them regularly. In due time he hopes to be able t& work Groom. Boehling and Johnson in the order named, with one of the youngsters sandWiched in between.

HOW A GOLFER WAS
 FOOLED WITH A SOAP BALL

For six or seven holes the joke was continued with the victim getting little more chesty as he went along. owing to remarks Hke thiss T have seen lot of golf halls hit, but never heard Of one ebreaking into bits Ike that" Lon certainly got into thaE stroke fine, and 1t would have gone mile if 1t hadn't broken" 'Tts a crime to hit golf ball as hard as that man ought to be arrested who would do tt.'
 Next came the parade straight acroEa the links, not waiting to hnish out the round. The tale was out, and the vic tim was toying with his pociletbooEs wondering what it was going to cost af the nineteenth hole.

HE brunt of every league base
 ball race falls on the pitchers
 of the leading teams. That 8
 team ia no stronger than it's pitching staff is strong may be said to be a baseball axiom.
 The tvEiTiers that have been instru- mental in carrying the New ' York Ma uonaIs and the Philadelphia Athletics into the lead in their respective leagues are an impressive galaxy of athletes. As long as they are in good form their team will stay out in front and gather in the plaudits and the sheIze1s of the multitude, but when the men on the firing line go stale or weaken their teams fall back in the ruck and the To- cal fans stay awake nights trying to invent new adjectives of an uncompli- mentary nature.
 It is somewhat of a coincidence that five pitchers have been responsible for the success of both the National and

the American league leaders this sea- son. On the New Works the quintet is made up of Mathewson, Garquards Demaree, Tesreau and Fromme. The Athletics five are Bender Plank Brown, Wyckoff and Bush.
 Matty and Bender.
 Matty is the .o1d reliabIea of his club. He is the rock that McGraw uses as the mooring for the Giant outfit And Bender is in much the same position in the Quaker lineup. Pitchers come and pitchers go, but. these two horse hide jugg1ers retain their cunning in spite of the onslaughts of time, and the strain of long. continuous work.
 Of course the Indian Bender must share part of his glory with the veter- an Plank. Seasoned timber is that Plank. He and Matty began to pitch lat about the same time, and, while the Phi1adelphian never showed the bril- liancy of the noted Big Six,'' he has proved a consistent winner and a re-

liable guardian Of the box at all times.
 That these two pitching staffs will meet in the worlds series there seems not the slightest doubt, and a com parison of them is particularly timely.
 SReeovsrY of coonbs:,
 As the teams stand now their pitch ing staffs are about equal in strength. on the sick list this season is, of course, a decided aid to the Mackmen, for this pitcher is a performer of the best cali- Der.
 Matty. Marquard and Ffomme, when Marquard> is going right. should prove the equal of Bender, Plank and Coornbs. The reserve list of the Giants is probably stronger than that of the Athletics. Tesreau and Demaree are abIer than Bush and Wyckon, the lat ter pair being young players who show decided promise of making good In fast company later on.
 - The staying qualities of Bender have been one of the surprises of the major league baseball. The Indian is not the type of a. pitcher that as a rule, lasts through long period of active service. He is not muscular, has not an ounce of surplus flesh, has, comparatively slight frame and is of nervous tenn perament. That combination of phys fcaI characteristics has carried woe fully few men along successfully in the pitchers box, yet today, after ten years of strenuous work of the most respon- sib1e sort, Bender is putting 'em over'' with all his old time speed and accu- racy. That he has the stamina to play successfully the chief role in a grueI- ing worlds series is of course well known to the fans.
 Tn Renders Favor.
 The big lead obtained by the sAth-- letics and the return of Coombs gives Mack an opportunity to ease up on Bender from now on until the worlds series, and this fact Snifttates against the chances of the team that will op- pose them. Bender will go into the contests in the fall in the prime of con- dttton, while the pitchers of the Ma tional league winners will be more or less overWorked owing to the necessity of working regularly up to the end of the season.

 Mu1lin is not necessarily through. It would not be surprising if he showed enough in the minors to warrant his being recalled by some major league club in the future but he is not good right now, when Griffith needs a pitch CT. Big George is going to Mon treal, and he may prove a star there, for, while he may lack the natural stuff, he knows how to pitch and may be able to get away during the rest of the season, and the winters rest may bring him back to his old form.

A CONTROVERSY in the Union asso- A iciatio1b over team and salary limits developed the fact that John McCloskey is leading the league with his Salt Lake team with but eleven players on the roster, without even a change catcher and but three regular pitchers. And John, when in the majors, was never satisfied unless he had about fifty broken down ball players hanging around drawing salary. but now he is working for himself.
