TNHE disintegration of a champion ship baseball team does not start as a rule, until, say. two years after the championship has been won, but here the 1915 campaign has not started and we find that four of the leading factors in the success of the Athletics in 1914-Bender. Plank. Collins and Baker-have been allowed to depart, while several Of the Braves who help ed win the worlds championship will be found with other clubs this season.
 Three Braves Gone.
 At least three members of Stallings' team who took part in the memorable clash with the Athletics in Shibe park and FenWay field will not be found in Boston uniforms this year. Whitted. the hard hitting outfelder. who was sent into the lineup when a southpaw was -hurIing for the opposition, is now with the PhiIlies. Pitcher Tom Hughes and Infielder Dugey are also gone from the Braves Charley Deal. former American league discard, who did the pinch third basing in the worlds series. and Leslie Mann. an-

strings of horses Both are stewards of the Jockey club, and each has some valuable animals being conditioned for a number of stakes. Jockey Loftus is ly he had a look at the animals and was very much impressed with his em- ployef's stable. There is KaskasHia, a three-year-o that is well worth a. hier whenever she starts. Distant Shore and Forecast are two more three-year- olds that should do well. The veteran Yankee Notion also is in the stable, as are High Chair and Flute two promising babies.
 Sheepshead is not the only Brooklyn track that is the scene of early spring training. Gravesend also has it's full quota of thoroughbreds, and, if any thing. the horses at the latter track are even better than the ones at the fla nous American Ascot. RoaTner, con- ceded to be the champion of the 1914 season, is being put into condition for his 1915 campaign under the watchfu1 eye of Trainer Jack Goldsborough, Roamer has dIled out and developed dimculty in maintaining his reputation of being the greatest racing gelding since Raceland was the king of the turf some twenty years ago.

 Imagine the efforts of a batsman to wait him out" until Walter wasted nine balls.
 And picture the chance a runner would have to get a lead if there were no penalty on the pitcher for false motion to first.
 The miracle would be if any batsman ever got to first at all if such pitching conditions existed today. Handicapped in almost every way, pitching from fifteen foot greater distance and labor ing under increased strains due to more scientifically developed attack at bat and on the base lines, it is no wonder the modern hurler is not able to work more than once in four days.

a string of two and three year olds that should win many fat purses for the man who once fought the Jockey club with the Empire City track. There are so many horses in the Butler barn that it is next to impossible to Tecog- nize and tabulate them all.
