Popularity OF Breeding.
An odd feature about the breeding Of

passed on to his grandchildren. Prac-

shown any real speed

phenomenon among turfmen. The
speed Of q sire generally passes from
one generation to another. But in
Peter the Greats case il is different
Among horsemen there is the belief
that the speed Of Peter the Great may
skip a generation-that Of his grand
children-and then return again to his
great grand children.
But whether It does or not; whether
the speed sweeps down through the
years that are to come, or whether it

COMMERCIAL league managers
meet at the office of the presi-

ming, to decide upon the admission
of two more clubs to the league. 1t
is to be hoped that consent will be
given by the army officers to enable
the Seventh infantry to take a fran
chise.
WHEN the Commercial league
" magnates meet tonight they
should consider a new rule which
will result in the first game of their
doubleheader being limited to not
more than an hour and 20 minutes,
unless the score be tied The teams
should play seven innings in an hour
and IS minutes at the most but they
can have five minutes leeway. If
the game is not finished at 3:35
o'clock it should be called, the score
reverting to even innings. It may
be argued that the game may not
start on time. However, that's up
to the two teams and if they don't
get off on time the fans should not
be punished. We suggest that the
first game should have the period
between 2:1S and 3:55 o'clock and
that the second game should start
sharp at $40 and be called at
o'clock, except in the event Of a tie
or unless the full seven innings be
played in a shorter period.
