The Gardener
BY JANE MI4EAN.

There a magic garden; in 1t grew
Tall holyhocks and pink phlox dewy wet,
And canterbury bells Of azure hue,
With Glove carnations and some mignonette.
And in one corner bloomed a splendid flower
rose. with close. sweet petals folded in;
Like other flowers she had her short sweet hour,
As~ay upon green stem, long and thin.
stopped old gardener came at early morn
To tend the flowers. He loved the rose the best.
And while he pruned he noticed not how
And pale and dropping faded all the rest.
One morning as he passe down the way
He the crusted earth, the flowers all dead,
And Autumn winds were rife. the skies were gray,
While clouds scudding wildly overhead.
But there's my rose," he said my favorite flower
I'll tend her petals prune her tender stalk"
But It Fall-the had lived her hour,
And fluttering petals strewed the garden walk.

Pebbles, Last Coin and
Comely Among Others
Shipped to Fill
Engagements.

Eleven three year-olds. the pick OF
James Buffers stable, left Sheepshead
Bay yesterday afternoon for Churchill
Downs.
The decision TO ship to Kentucky
was a sudden one, as R. c. Benson, the
trainer had practically decided to give
his charges their preparation for
spring racing over the Sheepshead Bay
course.
On Sunday Mr. Butler, who is anx-
ious to win the Kentucky Derby. decid-
ed TO have his three-year-olds for that
race trained on the Kentucky course.
The recent inclement weather was
largely responsible for the change In
plans.
The horses shipped yesterday were
Pebbles, Last Coin, Kilkenny Boy,
Comely, Capra, Mask, Diploma, High
Noon, Doublet, Superhuman and Der
wish. Twenty-seven of the Butler thor
ough breds will remain at Sheepshead
Bay, and of this number thirteen are
two-year-olds.
Pebbles appears to be the most for
ward Of the lot shipped, and all indl-
cations point TO him as Mr.. Buffers
candidate for the Derby. Benson, when
questioned yesterday before his de-
parture, said he had not decided
which one Of the three eligibles, Peb-
bles, Last Coin and Kilkenny Boy, he
would send to the barrier for the rich
prize. He added:
81 will prepare all three, and the one
which shows the best trials will start
Many horsemen are inclined 10 believe
I have a lot Of three quarter horses,
but they will discover their mistake
before the season is over. All the
horses ! am shipping are in fine con-
dtion, and that's all"
Ten Of the eleven horses sent to Ken
lucky won thirty-two races and SOL
400 for Mr. Butler last season. The
eleventh member of the string, Mask
is a daughter Of Ultimus -Maskette,
which did not start last year This

FLY Is racy looking, and one OF Mr.
Buffers eligibles for the Oaks She
is by the young Commando stallion
which sired Luke McLuke, and her
dam was one of the smartest FLIES
that ever bore the Keene silks.
Diploma, another Oaks eligible, is
FLY whose racing form has been out
Swallowed by the spectacular perform
ances OF her stablemates. She is a
daughter of Hippodrome Degree, and
only faced the barrier twice last year
She was graduated from the maiden
class in her second start, over the mile
route at Laurel. when she defeated
some smart maidens. Thus far she is
the only member of the Butler stable
which has raced successfully at that
distance.
The form Of the other three-year-
Olds is too well known to turf fol-
lowers 20 necessitate mention. Ben
son left for Kentucky last evening,
while Charley Borel, the stable jockey,
will delay his departure for several
days.

81, with Twenty-eight
Teams in Action.

Divots will fly on April q, when
twenty-eight teams belonging to the
Women's Metropolitan Golf Association
gather for the first round of an inter
club tournament.
This decidedly novel innovation was,
to borrow the words spoken by Mrs.
Lawrence Swift, president of the as
sociation, Original with the executive
committee and evolved from necessity
Some system whereby n number of
clubs could take part without requir-
ing too much time was wanted, and in
order that all might have an equal
chance, handicap conditions were
agreed upon. II is understood that the
handicap committee will have the as
sociation's new list ready prior 10 the
date set for the first round.
AS fourteen matches are on the card
for the first day, seven winning teams
will be lett, which means that there Will
be one bye in the second round Apa
wants and the Siwsnoy first team are
at the bottom of the draw, and the win
ner of this clash will receive the bye.
SO keen are the clubs 10 take part in
this iuterclub match that some Of tie
organizations have entered first and
second teams. All disputes will be set
tied by the captains.
Other business at yesterdays e1ecu-
tive session was 20 elect three new
clubs to membership. They were the
Upper Montclair Country Club, Wood
mere Country Club and Great Neck
Golf Club. There are now nearly sixty
clubs members Of the association, the
largest in its history.
The draw for the first round in the
team tournament is as follows:
Westbrook VS.. Nassau, at Nassau
Country Club.
Century first team VS.. Scsrsdsle, at

Tuxedo VS.. Arcola, at Tuxedo.
Apawamis vs.. Siwanoy fist team, at

No open or invitation tournament
will be held this season by the Deal
Golf and Country Club. Some time
ago there was talk among the clubs
officials with regard to getting back to
the tournament game, but Herbert Hill,
the secretary, said last night that the
plan had been abandoned for the pres
emit. A complete club schedule will be
issued. as usual. and between now and
opening day improvements will be made
10 the course.
More traps are planned in the vicin-
itv of the eleventh green, while the
eighth hole, one-shot affair, also Will
be made more exacting. Willie Norton,
the clubs pro" will not move over to
the shore until after the Lakewood
tournament.

marked the venerable statesman.
One Of the official scorers selected
among hundred applicants IS George
Halter, former intercity champion.
The good natured George has a host
of friends in the world of tenpins, who
will remember him largely through his
peculiar method Of delivery.
Halter, once the anchor for the cham
pion Brooklyn interstate team. had a
way Of keeping his right elbow close
10 his body when delivering the ball,
ard was the most successful exponent
of the come back" method in the
country. Few of the regular hook ar
lists could hold their own with him.
Ernest Il. Luhrs is once more "on
the Job" as general assistant TO Major
Gage, and the tall fellow who knows
bowling so we'll will be remembered
for his part in the last tournament at
Atlantic City.

amount Of detail necessary TO keep

cient.
To-nigh.'s schedule calls for a

not entered in the tournament or who
have rolled their scheduled games.
Thus there will be few doubles and

at other times. IL is the method TO

WRESTLING MATCH
IN BOXING RING
Langford Outpoints Johnson in
Wearisome Bout at l35th
Street Club.

Sam Langford. the Boston heavy
weight, earned slight shade OF the
honors over Battling Jim Johnson
after ten slow rounds of boxing at
the One Hundred and Thirty fifth
Street Club last night. Almost from
the opening bell the men wrestled and
held on to each other. the referee be-
ing totally exhausted from his efforts
TO pry the boxers apart.
Battling Jim entered the ring weigh
ing 224 pounds, and whenever II was
possible forced his weight down on
Iangford, who touched the beam at
1875 pounds.
Langford was the aggressor most OF
the time. A hard right uppercut proved
to be Sans most effective blow. lie
landed it frequently at close range. In
the fifth round both men slipped TO
tho floor, after missing wild swings.
frankie Wagner, the Jersey City
lightweight, knocked out Joe Kid Allen,
also a skeeter boxer, in the seventh
round of a scheduled ten-round bout at
Browns Gymnasium. For six rounds
Allen held an advantage over his rival,
when. after the opening Of the seventh
session, Wagner landed hard right to
the jaw, which dropped Allen for the
full count
In the semi-fnal Mike Donnelly
proved too clever for Joe Tierney,
earning the honors in eight of the ten
rounds.
After ten fast rounds, Terry Mitchell,
the Brooklyn welterweight, had a slight
r,ar0in ovar Sailor Maher at the As
toria Boxing Club. Both men fought
at top speed, with Mitchell doing the
better work at close range.
The spectators witnessed an exciting
affair when Eddie Conway, OF Brooklyn,
boxed a ten-round draw with Andy
Coathes, of Philadelphia.

GOOD RACING AT
THE BOWIE TRACK
Harry Shaw, at Odds On,
Again Fails His Follow
erS and Runs Third.

Baltimore, April 6.-Some excellent
racing was enjoyed by a good sized
crowd at the Bowie track to-day.
Harry Shaw. favorite in the Inaugu
raj Handicap, on the opening day last
Wednesday, again proved a grievous
disappointment, and seems to have
sailed off as a result of his winter cam
paign.
It seemed to be the general opinion
that he outclassed his field for the
Brandywine Handicap at seven fur
longs, fourth on the card, and for that
reason he was held at the almost UNI
playable price of / TO 3.
Those who accepted these short odds
had reason for regret, as Harry Shaw
finished third, beaten by Joe Diebold
and Lochiel
Tommy McTaggart, only recently re-
instated after a long suspension for
rough riding, carried off the jockey
honors by riding two winners, Richard
LangdOn, in the fifth race, and Cock
spur, in the sixth.
The boy has lost none Of his old
skin and should be a welcome addition
20 the riding ranks this year.
Jimmy Butwel rode only one winner,
but his followers reaped a harvest. He
brought Little Alta, the Golden Maxim
FLY owned by Mrs. James Mclaughlin,
home in front of fair field IN the first
race at the get-richquick price Of 10

BASHTI DEAD AT
BROOKDALE FARM
H. p. Whitney Loses a Matron
for Which He Paid $4,000
as TWo.YearaOld.

H. P. Whitney spread the sad tidings
among some of his friends yesterday
that Bashti, one of the most priced
matrons at his Brookdale Farm, had
died a day or two ago.
Bashti was a daughter Of Adam, the
French stallion, which stood in this
country several years ago, and at the
time Of her death was in foal to Ham
burg.
Mr.. Whitney paid $4,000 for Bashti
at the dispersal sale of the Newcastle
Stable at Saratoga Springs in 1910 in
the hope of winning the Futurity. She
ran second to s. c. Iildreths Novelty
in that race, but later won the FLY half
Of the Matron Stakes, transferred that
year from Belmont Park to Pimlico.
She was ranked as the best FLY OF
her age and because Of her blood lines
