FAMOUS CHARGER
Is BURNED
TO DEATH

There have been some famous
equines, whose deaths CAUSED world
wide regret among lovers of the thor
oughbreds. Sysonby was mourned on
two continents, and now another
grand one has passed on to the horse
heaven. This time the army is the
loser, although the dead charger was
SO fine a product that he belonged
Just as much to the show ring as to
the barracks.
After nearly score of years of
faithful military service Joaquin
Col Charles G. Treats charger, per-
ished in fire which on the night of
April 8 burned to the ground the
stables of the headquarters detach-
ment, Sd Field Artillery, at Fort Sam
Houston, Texas Joaquin" or "Old
Jack" as he was generally called,
was perhaps the best known horse in
the Service, and was one of the few
American military horses to compete
successfully against European mill
tary mounts. In 1910 he won the
championship, all hunters and jump
ers against all American and foreign
COulpettlOISs dAlOnS WOhC oNSAA
horses as Black Paddy and Delibera-
ton. He won against all competitors
in the hunter class al Onwensia in
1908. In 1896, he won the. high jump
at the Kansas City Horse Show, clear
ing the bar eat six feet four inches.
Seventeen years later he repeated the
performance at Fort Worth Horse
Show Nav IA 1912. winning the high
jump in most impressive, style, clear
ing the bar at five feet six inches
with a clean foot to spare. He won
the charger class at Fort Worth,
Washington, and in fact won at near
ly every horse show he ever entered.
To enumerate all the ribbons won by
this remarkable animal would fill sew
eral pages; for nearly twenty wears
Joaquin competed against the best
horses of the world and was invari-
ably a winner and always in the rib
bons.

GOLF GOSSIP

One of the most noticeable tend
encies in golf since the introduction
of the rubber-cored ball has been
decrease in the Importance and guam
tity of wooden club play This, no
doubt, is the natural consequence OF
the simplilication of the game In the
matter of distance, but while 1t is
true that a hole of $50 yards is now
q mere drive and half-iron to good
player. 1T is rather curious that golf
crs in general have fallen into the
way of communicating wooden in
struments and promoting the iron
clubs to a position Of Overwhelming
numerical supremacy.
AT one time it was common to see
in golfers bag the baffy, the spoon.
and the wooden pulitzer, in addition to
The driver, to say nothing of the brass
lie. Nowadays, the driver is the only
wooden implement used by many
players. They include the present open
champion, Edward Ray, so that they
are a distinguished company. Still,
there is a certain fascination about
watching good wooden club shot
through the green. Ray sometimes
plays a beauty with his driver, but
he is such terrific hitter that a
cleek is generally sufficient for any
second with which he may be pre-
scented.
There are less powerful hitters who
might be the better for greater faith
in the efficacy of wood, but they live
in the iron age, and after the tee shot
they use practically none but metal
headed tools Indeed, there is reason
to wonder whether, few years hence,
the wooden club will occupy the hum
bile position of a handy tool with
which to thump the ball off pile of
sand and nothing more
There are some players who seem
TO carry brassie for mere appear
ance's sake. At least, they very
seldom use it, They are resolved that
ii is a difficult club with which to
execute an effective shot. and thus
satisfied Tor dissatisfied they keep
it for show and accomplish their long
seconds with driving iron.
The spoon is almost derelict, es-
pecially in England. With the excep-
lion of Alexander Herd and George
Duncan, there is hardly professional
of note who employs it. And yet. for
the ordinary player, 1t is probably the
easiest of all clubs to manage. There
are irons of every degree of loft. but
il is a growing fashion to regard any
wooden club beyond. driver as su-
Ierfluous. What is the reason? Ii
cannot be wholly the ball.
The above remarks in defense of
wooden clubs are taken from Golf IL
lnstrated
