MORE THoR0UGHBREDs SOLD.
Greater Interest in Development Of
Horses Indicated.

NEW YORK. February 2o.-A SUBJ
stantial gain in the sale Of thorough
bred yearlings in this country was re-
corded last year. when 39S were dis
posed of at public auction. The top
price in 1914 was $3.50. paid by T
c. Mcdowell for the chestnut colt by
Watercress-Pearl V. Five yearlincs
brought $4,000 or more ten between
$4,000 and $4,000, sixteen between
$1,000 and $4,000 and thirty between
$1,000 and 1000. Sixty-one yearlings
were sold for $1,000 or more, as against
1912. This comparison, therefore, would
seem to indicate the growing pros
perity of American racing and a re-
newed activity in the breeding indus
try.

sYMPATHizEs WITH MAGNATES
Base Ball Public Realizes Handicaps
They Are Under.

NEW YORK, February 20.-"There is
no doubt that the public is in SYM
pathy with the magnates." said Presi-
dent Ebbets of the Brooklyn Nationals
Yesterday. 1.-The enormous salaries
commanded by the players and the in
ability of the clubowners to meet ex-
penses have opened the eyes OF the
fans. Base ball, once a prosperous
amusement venture, has become pre-
cartous business. Yet some of the
players do not realize present condi-
tions. Men who have spent the greater
part of their lives in building up the
sport are opposed by persons who are
eager to commercialize the game. AS
a result base ball is bound to suffer
a lack of patronage that means tre-
mendous losses before the pastime can
be placed on a firm basis once more.
There was a time when the players
were backed by the public. but that
is all changed now. Patrons of the
game now know that the clubowners
are staggering under heavy financial
burdens and are. therefore. entitled to
sympathy"

time Anna Eva Fay called Lords name
and remarked: Harry Lord, you will
play ball with Chicago this summer.
Now don't be foolish, and hang around
the way you did last year"
The house was packed and Harry
was given a great hand. But the truth
of the matter is this-Harry didn't ask
anything about playing base ball He
has a hunting dog named BattieaXe,
with which he has hoped to catch a
fox. Just for the fun of the thing he
wrote on his question paper: when
will BattleaXe catch a foX?" Nobody
was more surprised than Lord when
Anna Eva Fay answered as she did
and Lord has been busy explaining to
his host of friends that he wasn't
around asking any mediums about his
prospects of base ball playing.

Suppose you do round of eighteen

The perspective is wrong.
George Duncan's idea of making the

cure this defect with a vengeance.
The man who couldn't sink a putt in

TANANA VALLEY RAILROAD |S
 SNOWbOUND

The snowbound condition of the Panama Valley railroad tracks across the big hill lying between Goldstream and Chatanika river withstood the at tack of two engines and a snow blow so well that the railroad crew could not get even to the summit. After six hours of driving work found them selves at least a mile this side of Ridgetop with the worst yet to come, and returned to Fairbanks late at night, bringing back the mail and few passengers.
 Next morning they started again but with small hope of getting the blow through to Olnes. On the sum init and over on the Olnes hill the snow lies from four to six feet in depth with a six-inch crust so hard that a man is easily supported and in many places a team could be driven over it. A pecularity is that the wind has driven fine dirt and gravel off the big dumps along the Chatanika river fight into the snow, hardening the curst so that from forty to fifty feet at a lunge was all the two engines and snow blow could possibly make at any time. Taking a start of from 100 to 200 feet. the blow outfit bucked into it continuously besides which force of men shoveled snow, both on the Fox side of the hill and on the Olnes side. It is a slow process of opening the tracks and with a gale blowing the outlook for the immidiate railroad re- lief of Olnes and Chatanika Is not very bright.
