BY FRANK j. BRYAN.
With the new year will come busy
days for the hunts committee of the
National Steeplechase and Hunts AS
sociation, for, one of the many depart
ments of amateur racing that comes
under their Jurisdiction is that OF
granting certificates to the gentlemen
riders. The indications are that the
coming season will bring into compe-
tition not alone the experts of other
years, but many new aspirants for
glory both in the flat races and over
the Hsteeplechase courses.
Great progress has been made dur
ing the last three or four years in
developing the, non-professional rider,
and fortunately the interest created
has been in all parts of the country.
In the old days of amateur racing
the list of those that could be found
rfding-that is, with a skill that could
be boasted of-was made up OF about
a dozen men located in one or two
cities in the East where races for
amateurs were provided. Little in
ducement was rendered for the new
conner, and as a result the handful of
experts came to an age when years
made their activity less, and it seemed
as if it would be difficult to recruit
the ranks. T. But fortunately at this
time came the splendid effort to re-
vive the hunt meetings, and the re-
suit has been to bring to the front
more than hundred really clever
horsemen-race riders If you will
who are enrolled on the list of quail
fed amateurs. This does not by any
means cover the entire list. In Nir-
ginia. Maryland, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, this state and New England
as many more are frequently seen
with the colOrs up riding in races
under local auspices or in those events
conditioned for the members of the
recognized hunts exclusively.
The skill of these men is something
well worthy of praise Experts. horse,

The development of this skill among
the non-DrCfessiOnal division can be
attributed to three causes-their nat
ural love of a horse, their ability to
give their time to sport in the open
and the many opportunities provided
for them at the hunt meetings each

RUDE WADDELL

NEW YORK = OF all the baseball
characters, the quaintest was George
Edward C"Rube'l Waddell. of St
Mary's. Elk county. Pa. the Billiker
and Peter Pan of the game.
! Waddell was a mine of fun for a
| 6pOrting-page humorist, a horrible ex.
ample for the temperance lecturer. Il
JOY TO the fans. terror to batters and
a nightmare to the managers who had
him.
| A boy who never grew up. the 81,
gantic WaG.1ell was a basebalrs Peter
Pan. At one time he was almost a
rational figure because OF his eccen-
| tTicities.
Baseball was more Joyous because
of him. He was a jester, but his COM
edy never harmed any one and he was
never vulgar. He was funmaker ex-
traordinary. He drove away gloom
like the sun dispensing a fog. He
made everybody happy. Millions
smiled at his antics. He was the Bill,
ken of the game.
Paying the Price.
| Now Waddell. victim of tuberculo-
sis, is paying the price of his years
of night-hawking and revelry, but
those who know him best say he will
greet the reaper with grin aId
joke. Z
Waddel went from one team to an
ether between 1897 and 1900, but in
1901 found himself and became a
mighty factor for Jim Harris Chicago
team. The day Waddell and Mathew
son fought their duel. which the
"Rube" won, he was a Chicago hero.
Waddell loved the lights. He liked
to Ion a bartender's apron and serve
drinks to a crowd Once, having wan
dered upon the stage of a ttheater
where an animal act, was on, he fool
ed with lion until the east\clawed

to a police station, and, while his
wounds were being dressed, unraVel-
ed a tale of being he'll up. and stab

bested. this story being intended to-
keep Hart from filming him next day.
Connie, Mack handled Waddell bet
ter than anyone else. Mack's way
.sgasts to make him believe the other
fellows regarded him as easy, where
upon "Rube'' would shoot them across
so fast they looked like marbles.
Has Good Record.
While with the Athletics Waddell
pitched the first game Of double
header. winning after IA innings, and
then refused to- leave the box, win
ming a nine-inning game. He won 20 !
inning contest from Boston against Cy
Young, and a Thinning game from
Bill Dinneen. He offered to pitch a |
four-game series against the White |
Sox, and won the first two games, but
vas knocked out of the box in thet
third.
Wa,lden tried football at Butler, Pa,
and when he walked upon the field
with a keg of, nails balanced on each

THE German Olympic committee. in
! its efforts to solve the problem OF
quarteriGg the hundreds of athletes
who will compete at Berlin in 1916,
has evolved the plan OF offering pri-
vate training camps to those nations
which will bear a proportion of the
expense necessary for the building OF
those quarters.
In order that the teams of the va
rious countries may reside in the de-
sired seclusion. with their own cooks
and training tables and with an ath'
letic field adjacent, the committee has
secured a large plot of land in the
Grunewald pine forest, almost at the
doors of the stadium, and is now ap-
preaching the participant nations with
an offer to pay a portion OF the cost
of erecting and furnishing the houses.
The draft of the program for sub
mission to the international commit
tee at Paris for track and field athlet.
les follows closely that drawn up at
the international federation last sum-
mer, and has been received faVorably
in the United States. II includes all
the standard events praetieed there,
eliminating the ''twohanded" weight
events. and adds only one walking
event, the 100.kilometer (62Ia miles,
walk .--. b..
The general rie contains proyiso
aimed at migrating athletes. Under
this an athlete competing at one set Of
games for one nation can not enter
later games from another country. al
though he may become paturalized in
the meantime.
The German committee also has
adopted new amateur definition,
much shorter than that drafted by the
international federation. 1t differs
from it and the accepted American
rule by Professionalism amateurs

If this occurs without the permission

HIS BLOOD DRAWN OUT,
PURIFIED AND PUT BACK

Detroit, Mich, May Ill. W.Add-
ley, of Detroit, has just had pint
of blood drained from him, frozen
for twenty-four hours, skinned of
germs, then heated to normal tenn
perature and injected into his spinal
canal.
After this remarkable treatment,
he seems to be recovering from an
ailment that has resisted for fifteen
months the best efforts of skilled
physicians.
His trouble was akin to paresis or
aphasia. 1t was caused by an affec-
ton of the brain covering. Aphaic
meningitis is the medical term for
It. 1t is a very rare disease, Add
iey's being the first case known in
Detroit. 1t is believed to have had
its origin in an accident suffered a
good many years ago, in which leg
was injured so badly it ought to have
been amputated. but Addley would
not permit it.
Five such publications of blood
must be gone through with. accord
ing to the attending physician. He
believes this also will cure acute ner-
vousness, with which Addley is af-
fiicted
