Kentuckians Favor Longer Races

Breeders To Train Heat Horses
y BERT 3. COLLYER.

- HICAGO, III, Dec. I7.-MaJor
Thomas C. Mcdowell, the young
~ Kentuckian, would welcome the
return Of long distance racing to this
country and be among the first to
breed, and train the old fashioned heat
horse Like Milton Young, another
Kentucky breeder, Mcdowell has al
ways had a penchant for heat racing,
and in Sudie AcNairy, he had one Of
the fastest three-quarter heat per-
formers TO be found in America.
Some Early Day Races.
Milton YOung's faFOrite mare was
Lizzie s., one of the best mile heat
mares to be found in the country, and
that in a day when there were many
heat performers about of the first
class. The race in which Kioba beat
her at Louisville, early in the eighties,
was one Of the surprises Of the year,
and one that cost both Milton Young,
and the late Sam Bryant a lot OF
money. KiOba was at that time owned
by John S. Campbell, who had become
famous as the driver of tie pacing
horse, Richball- Now man that drove
PAGERS in those days was not looked
upon as being any too honest. kioba
had been running some good mile and
an an eighth heat races around Chi
cagOs but so great was the fame Of
Lizzie S, that the Kentuckians did not

Connie Mack Plays Right System

Has a Heart" Holds Men Loyal
BY JOIN E. WRAY.

7. LOUIS, No, Dec. 17-While rival
managers are hunting the system
~ whereby Connie Mack is able
from year TO year to produce a team
that can win the pennant or be in the
flag hunt, it might be well for them
to overlook the baseball aspect Of Mr..
McGillicuddy and turn to his human
Mack is capable manager who
develops men instead Of waiting for
the minor leagues to turn them out
for him. But there is also another
factor in his makeup that contrib
utes to the teams success It is his
ability to keep his men satisfied and
in sweet temper. Mack was never
known for the large salaries he paid.
He has been known to cling with
tender longing to the iron man" OF
the mint Yet seldom has anyone heard
OF a holdOut on the Athletics simply
because Mack found some other ap-
peal to make to his men other than
the financial one
Mack is no Spendthrift.
It remained for catcher Ira, Thomas
to pay q tribute to Mack, when he
undertook the defence Of the club for
not signing the petition Of the Players
fraternity. Said Thomas;
Mack doesn't hold his players by
virtue Of signed contracts, but because
he is eminently fair and gives prac-
tically what his players ask We are
in sympathy with the Baseball frater-
nity's claims only because we know
other owners are not as cOnsiderate as
Mr.. Mack"

Bryant's Wager on LOzzie.
Just as the horses were going to the
post for the first heat Sam Bryant
m bet $500 to a 500 that Lizzie
S. wins"
Just at that moment they were off,
but little fellow standing near to
Bryant threw a hundred dollar bill on
the grass, and remarked:
III take you Put your foot on
that and hold the stakes"
Sam did so, and kneeIing down be-
gan counting out his two hundred He
had just finished the task when Kioba
dashed by winner of the heat Sam
looked surprised, but said nothing
The second heat was q repetition of
the first, and Sam handed the little
fellow the money who carelessly
stuffed it IN his pocket and walked
away.
Now. who is that fe1ler?e asked
Bryant.
That Is Johnny Campbell, the owner
Of KiOba, and the driver of RichbalI,s
answered a bystander.
Might ha' knOwed it." bIurted Sam.
I never yet touched anything con-
nected with a pacing boss, but what I
got the worst Of it." And the crowd
laughed.

soon find out they would have a team.
Because, after all, it's the men that
make the manager-in every case we
can recall except that Of John McGraw,
who last year had a team with no
players on it worth speaking Of
Why Deal With MeGraW3
Incidentally-Why any club manager,
Miller Higgins or other, should want
a mystery. The best he can get for
his pains is the worst of it. If Nc
Graw had a real baseball player you
would have to cut his throat before he
would yield him up. Anything that
looks like the material is carried by
John J. until both his own patience
and the players reSOurcefulness have
been exhausted.
It's q mortal cinch that If Britton and
Higgins get anything from McGraW it
viii be the worst of it." Further
more, any player Of merit who might
get away from McGraW for any reason
whatsoever would be useless to the
Cardinals, because man coming from
a championship team to a tail ender
is not going to have his heart in the
work It's like being sent back to the
minors
The Same Old Club.
Higgins is coming back to St Louis
with the same team with which he
ended the season, virtually. The only
move he has made to strengthen the
Jake Geyer. That helps some. The
probabilities are that as far as any
deal which may be made is concerned,
the Cards will open the year Just as
they finished the last season-weak
and with last place future.

LEWIS DEFENDS BRYAN IN
ADDRESS IN THE SENATE

Washington, D. c., July 19.-The
speeches in the senate yesterday at
lacking Secretary Bryan for accepting
chautauQua lecture engagements
while in the service of the
government were made principally by
Bristow and Townsend, while his de-
tenders were Senators Lewis, Stone,
Ashurst, James, Shafroth, and others.
The democrats largely contented them
selves with endeavoring to show that
it was a case of the pot calling the
kettle black A few of them sought
to defend the propriety of Mr.. Bryan's
conduct
The star in this connection easily
was James Hamilton Lewis, the Hi.
nois senator. With that ease and
grace which have distinguished his
utterances in Illinois, in Washington,
and in the house of representatives
he detained his admiration of Mr..
Bryan. When the junior senator from
Illinois finished his face was wearing
smile of real appreciation at what
he had done.

CENESEO man IN
WATER Fatality
William Ingram, a Carpenter,
Falls Into Water While Fish
ing in Hennepin Canal.

William Ingram, a Geneseo carpen-
ter, was drowned in the Hennepin
canal near that city this morning. The
body was recovered and Coroner
Johnson held an inquest, the verdict
being accidental death.
Mr.. Ingram, who was about 80 years
of age, went fishing in the canal this
morning, accompanied by his 15-year-
old son. After starting to fish, father
and son moved in opposite directions
along the canal bank. A little later
the boy, being unable to see his father,
turned back and went to the point
where he supposed he would be. There
was no trace of him, but after search
ing awhile the lad saw what looked
like shirt beneath the water. Prob,
ing with his pole he found that it was
the body of his father.
Help was called and the remains
brought to shore. A physician being
summoned pronounced the man dead
The presumption is that Mr.. Ingram
either slipped off the bank or STUN,
bled and fell into the water and, be
ing unable to swim, could not regain
the shore.
A widow and the one son survive.

NEXT THURSDAY
Unusual Interest Centers in Ac-
ticn Relative to Designat-
ing County Roads.
FIGURING ON STATE AID
Considerable Sum to Be Received IN
der ths Provisions of the
Tice Measure.

Much interest centers in the special
meeting of the board of supervisors
which is to be held Thursday after
noon at O'Clock for the purpose of
hearing the report of the committee
named at the recent session of the
board when the provisions of the Tice
good roads bill were considered.
The matter of securing state aid
for highways was thoroughly dis.
cussed at that gathering and a com
mittee named to suggest county roads.
Those selected for this important duty
were the members of the roads and
bridges committee; Supervisors Les,
lie Hanna. William Elliott and Henry
Ruben and two additional supervisors
A. L. Peterson and James McQuaid.
HAVE BEEN Busy.
Much will depend upon the report
of the committee. This county is en-
titled to a considerable amount OF
money for the improvement of high
ways but before the money is avail
able, the roads to be assisted must be
designated by the supervisors. 1t is
known that the committee has beer
conducting a systematic investigation
into the condition of the roads of the
county Under the provisions of the
law, IL is understood that it makes
little difference which road receives
aid the first year for the following
year, some other highway may be as
sisted.

JAPAN'S NEW WOMAN

Toxic, July 19-The New Won
an" question has come to the fore in
Japan just as it has in the Occident
and has aroused almost as much at
tention as the woman rights problem
in foreign lands.
The Japanese woman, compared to
her sisters abroad, has occupied a
modest place in the life of the empire
and has been held greatly in subjec-
ton. But advanced opinion agrees
that the Japanese woman is entitled
to greater freedom and wider intel
lectual activities than hitherto has
been allowed her.
A cry for emancipation of women"
from domestic slavery" is being
raised by a number of educated girls,
who call themselves Blue Stockings"
These new women do not clearly
specify what they wish to accomplish,
but in a general way they defy the
old order of thing laid down for the fe-
male sex. They have their own pub
LEGATIONS and occasionally arrange
public meeting for the propagation of
their ideas. They have a club of their
own, and gather for nightly womans
rights discussions.
However, these are the extremists
Their utterances and their mode of
life have shocked conservative Japan
In fact, some of them have been so
radical in their action that the author
tiles have invoked the law to restrain
them. Recently a number of maya
zines for women were suspended on
the ground that they were injurious
TO society
Dr.. Okuda, minister of education,
is of the opinion that the discussion of
the woman's rights question may not
be dangerous to the minds of women
who are well educated and have been
well trained in mind, but he added
HIS view that 1T will excite injurious
Z ly the minds of ordinary women, or in
other words, will encourage vanity
among them" He asserted that nine
out OF ten women who discuss such
problem are the victims of the
/ "cruel influence of vanity
