PRICES FOR CAVALRY
MOUNTS ARE RAISED
Major General Scott Advocates
Such a Move-Sees Need of
Horses for Army.

sportsmen generally are high in their
praise of Major General Hugh l.. Scotts
recent remarks anent the exporting of
brood mares and the failure OF the army
to recognize the proper value OF thorough
breds for cavalry uses. The chief of staff
of the United States Army has deplored
the fact that a maximum sum for the
purchase of army mounts limits the value
of horses to be used for The cavalry.
H. X. Knapp, a steward of the Jockey
Club and one of the most enthusiastic
thoroughbred horse men In the country,
expressed himself as quite willing to do
what he could toward furthering q Gov
ernment stud for breeding cavalry
mounts.
IT feel, with Major General Scott, that
the country is in danger of a depletion
of its horse market II measures are not
taken to build up the breeding industry
and retain the best broodmares in this
country" said Mr.. Knapp. I'm case OF
war the drain upon our thoroughbred re-
sources would be greater than we are,
perhaps, ready to stand under present
conditions. A ban upon the expectation
Of brood mares would not be a bad idea" I"
Schuyler L, Parsons, also an official of
the Jockey Club, was another sportsman
to indorse Major General Scott's atti-
tude. MIR. PARSONS reels that the placing
of limit upon the price which the Gov
ernment must pay for cavalry mounts
blocks the way for the army to obtain
good horses.
by placing a maximum valuation on
horses to be bought for the army" said
Major General Scott, 1--WE not only are
unfair to the breeder, who is thus not
able to find a market in the Government
of his own country, but we also impair
the uses of the cavalry. 1t Is obvious that
a horse worth $3.50 cannot be bought for
$175 and IL the latter sum be the maxi
mum the higher grade mounts are out Of
the question for the army"
Algernon Daingerfield secretary OF the
Jockey Club. said yesterday that he felt
Major General Scott had struck the nail
on the head in the matter
II don't believe there should be a limit
on the purchase price of mounts for the
army" said Mr.. Daingerfleld. las Major
General Scott has pointed out, 1t impairs
the efficiency of the service. A cavalry is
no stronger than its mounts and you can't
expect TO get high-class horses at low
class prices,
The chief Of stan declares the army has
need of 1000 cavalry remounts annually,
and a great many more in case OF emer-
gency.

JOHNSON HAS SAVED
100000 FROM FIGHTS
Ex-H Heavyweight Champion
Says He Has Not Spent His
Money Foolishly.

Jack Johnson, who at one time oceu-
pied the pinnacle OF pugilistie heavy
weight fame, has "'rainy day fund. A
small ltrlhe OF s1OO,OOO he says he has
slowed away just now, with the prospect
OF securing the mere pittance Of 100000
to $4,000 more through the mOvng-pie-
ture sales OF the Johnson-Willard films.
Provided the former hstio king isn't
seized with a mania for throwing away
his money in chunks. he win be able,
banking on the truth Of the statement
to live In comparative style and luxury
the balance OF his days.
II Johnson lived at the rate Of slO,OO0
a year (that Is about $50 a day Tor the
rest Of his nfe) Il would mean that he
could live about 20 years longer and leave
some money behind even II he never got
a dollar from the moving-picture sales
The 100000 that Johnson has now can be
depended upon 10 draw interest about 8
per cent. yearly. Johns0n's interest IN
come for the third year would be about
1880 shy OF his outgo, leaving him some
thing like 1900 70 begin the fourth year
with.

to be admitted that Germany was never

death of the only two Germans who ever

tlon half the distinguished members of
the German tennis clubs and find among
them men who have been killed, wounded
or are prisoners OF the Allies.
The fact that famous athletes have not
been figuring prominently on the casualty
lists as have the athletes of the other ma
tions is to be explained solely by the fact
that German athletes have not been toe
numerous in the past decade. Germany
had considered athletics to be childs play

COLLEGE GOLF EVENT
SET FOR SEPTEMBER 7
Annual Championship Will Be
Decided on Links of Green
wich G. G.

College golfers have at last settled on
plans for their annual championship tour
nament. The scene will be the links of
the Greenwich Country Club and the time
is set for September to II, inclusive.
There iR little uncertainty about condi-
tions, but 1t is the desire to avoid playing
on Labor Day, as was the case last year
at Garden City.
Although at first II may appear as con-
flicting with the national amateur cham
pionship. 1t happens to follow by week,
for the amateur does not always begin
Labor Day, as 1t did two seasons ago,
When the collegians gathered at Garden
City recently, Apawamis was voted as the
links for the 1915 event, but the Rye or
ganization has so much TO attend to with
the seniors tournament late in Septem-
ber, together with the metropolitan ANA
teur championship early in the season,
that the university players found 1t ad-
vlsable to seek another venue.
Greenwich is a popular spot. 80 It was
selected. The club is fortunate in having
quite a few sleeping rooms, so that nearly
half the competitors may be aeeommo'
dated there.
Incidentally Greenwich plans TO repeat
its ideas Of holding an invitation tourna-
ment on the first three days of tho week.
so It happens that September q to 20
have been chosen. These days. as was
the case last year, Immediately precede
the Tristate matches for the Lesley Cup
at Merton.
Thus competitors in the latter may tune
UP at Greenwich on Monday. Tuesday and
Wednesday, get In Thursday for practice
at Merton and be ready for the Lesley
Cup events on Friday and Saturday.

CHINESE TURF RULES
