Budweiser Oldest Racing Thoroughbred

INHE oldest horse racing in America
 at the present time is Budweiser, who won a couple of races during the Hot Springs meeting. He is sixteen years old and seems to be a marvel of the turf. The last time on record that Budweiser started before the late Hot Springs meeting was at New Orleans on March 26, 1910, and he ran eleventh in a race won by J. Ed Grillo. He was owned at that time by w. F. Walsh. At that time the horse was six years old.
 Many inquiries have been received asking where the horse had been dur ing this long interval. Lou and J. c. Calm raced the horse around St. Louis.

Says Women Coaches Are
 Needed

MISS HAZEL PRATT, director of
 women's sports at the University of Kansas, in Lawrence, has predicted that the days of men coaches for high school girls basketball teams are num- bered. Miss Pratt asserts that men do not know how to coach women in ath- letics and points to the fact that in the recent high school basketball tourna- ment there three of the four girls teams that reached the finals were coached by women.
 Men do not make the distinction be- tween mems and women's standards. said Miss Pratt. They do not realize that in most kinds of athletics wo- man has distinct and separate meth od ot doing things. A woman at tempting progress in sports by using a mans way makes me think of an aero

work of doubles and turning two bag gers into triples.
 In the east Bill Donovan of the New York Yankees is one manager who be- Ieves that speed is essential. Nearly every man on the team can travel fast Clark Griffith of the Washingtons is another About the only two mana gers in Ban Johnsons circuit who are not speed mad are Bill Carrigan of the Boston Red Sox and Connie Mack of the Athletics. Fielder Jones of the St. Louis Browns is a great advocate of sDeed on the bases
New Britain herald., 1916-06-26

In the National league it is a well known fact that Johnny McGraw of the New York Giants has always been keen for fast men on the bases, and this season is no exception. Manager Wilbert Robinson of the Brooklyn Ma
 tionals is another. Nearly every morn ing when the team is home one can see members of the Superbas practic- ing base running. Joe Tinker of the Chicago Cubs is strong for speed. George Stallings of the Boston Braves believes in speed, more speed and then some. Pat Moran of the Phillies, while

Speaker Aids Indians

THAT the Cleveland team has been
 greatly benefited by the acquisition of Speaker goes without saying. Now that the former Boston star has jump ed in and is giving the Indians his best efforts, the team will cut much more of a figure in the race than 1t has for some time. Chapman, Speaker and Gandil are a formidable trio of play CTS, and, if Owner Dunn is to be be- lieved, there will be other improve ments made to the team
 Manager Fohl is quoted as saying that the addition of Speaker to the team will make it 40 per cent stronger, and this, while not a conservative esti- mate, may be very close to the mark. for Speakers presence alone should count for much on the spirit of the other players, who, because of the im- provement in the team that the acqui- sition of the former Red Sox fielder

in baseball. Now there are any num- willing to bet all kinds of money that if Dave Robertson, the Giants out fielder, ever is of a mind to go against the circling the base record, which is now held by Lobert at 13 4-5 seconds, he can beat the mark easily.
 Robertson will make Ty Cobb, Max Carey, Bert Shotton, Clyde Milan and other base runners celebrated for their speed look slow. He probably could not only lead any of them by ten feet in going around the bases, but he looks foot faster going to first than any man in the big show today
 Bert Shotton of the St. Louis Browns is streak going to first. He pulls the average infield in ten feet when he is at bat This Is necessary because ont an ordinary bounder the infielder can not complete the mechanics of his play the fielding and throwing of the ball fast enough to intercept Shotton at first when playing back.
 Robertson, it seems, is faster than Shotton. A race between the two on the bunt and run to first would be en-. tertaining.
 each season that all the players might compete in running, throwing, batting, etc, would be a profitable thing. The records of the mechanical part of the game are poorly kept and seldom al- luded to. A baseball field day would be more interesting than a track meet

# ANAGER TINKER of the Chicago Cubs believes in a ball player be- zg finished in every respect. He does NJ like to see a man do a thing anna zlrishly when he knows he can do Utter with more practice. Tinker is Nj unreasonable in asking ball play to be perfect in what he does. He Sks man to do his best and at the Bne time strives to develop him and Rnove his faults.
 Pitchers in particular are the ones likes to coach. He does not care to we a man on his staff who knows #thing else but to throw the ball up the plate and to get big hook on He insists that every one of his #ngers be a bear cat in the field in Ayering first base and in handling

 Wants Fielding Pitchers. Before the Cubs went south Tinker &id he had the best staff of fielding Achers in the Federal league, because demanded that they be fast on their Rst in going after grounders, and also covering first. He will not have a san on his club who cannot get to the s sg for putout, and from the way he Nd the men working this spring they s low it. That he did have fast squad fielding twirlers is shown by the way Sendrix, Mcconnell and Prendergast NJ over to the bag on grounders bat #d to the first baseman.
 &nability to cover first base and field $ilely and accurately was one of the #ults of the Cub twirlers last season, Nd Roger Bresnahan, supposedly a $aart manager, failed to get the men do it. They either were slow on Aeir feet or did not care to hustle for

 George Moore, the present owner, bought him at Waco, Tex, from an un- known negro, who said he had raced the horse at Shreveport, Maringouin La. and other places.

Charles Ellis, Farmer, New
 Three Cushion Billiard Champion

A FEARS move so speedily and new
 champions are made with such startling frequency and records stand such a short time on the books that the announcement of another new title holder, as a rule, evokes but little sur prise and attention.
 However, another new worlds cham piOn was crowned recently, who prom ises to not only hold his title for long time to come, but also be a striking figure in the sporting world during that time. He is Charles Ellis, who dethroned the veteran Alfred De Orc as the holder of the three cushion carom billiard championship. Ellis is a youth, only twenty five years of age, stands about six feet in height, Is

broad of shoulders and of athletic build and great strength.
 His build would mark him as a wrestler or follower of some other branch of athletics but billiards. He carries himself with the erect attitude and grace of a West Point cadet, is strikingly intellectual looking and has an impressive bearing that marks him everywhere.
 This young farmer from Doylestownt Pa, has the cool nerve and sound health that made Willie Hoppe such 8 marvel in balk line billiards these many years. If the new title holder will observe the same rigid, abstemious life that Hoppe has followed all his career the three cushion title should mol change hands for a long period.

regard to IN necessity OF military
training for national defence.
There seems to be n popular impress
sion quite widespread that universal
military service would entail unusual
hardship, that it would take our
young men from their homes or their
careers for long periods OF time, and
that the training would extend over
many wears. Such Impressions are
u~nfounded in fact.
There are several proposed meas
ures for tho establishment of ma
tional military service, None OF these
conteRpiates a period of service and
training Of more than one year. The
simplest bill and the one which seems
10 me to meet the requirements most
satisfactorily is that drafted by Lieut.
Col. Mosely after consultation with
tho General Staff of the army.
This bill provides that all male citl-
gems of the United States must report
during the calendar year in which
their eighteenth birthday occurs for
physical examination for military
training. The training shall be AS fol-
lows. First period, six months In
tcnsive training IN military camp. or
upon military ships, the Government
paying all expenses. The following
year "A further military training period
Of thirty days Is required. There shall
he u proper credit allowed for mill
,ary training received at school, pro-
yidod that such credit shall not aggre-
gate. IN any event. more than six
months.
In case "A call To the colors becomes
necessary, those last trained shall be
first called. and then in order eoine
back uutil the required number have
been obtained. Experience has proved
that possibly six months intensive
military training VIII fit n man fol-
the duties of "A soldier.
Inasmuch as due credit will be al
lowed for training at school (and II
is expected that such training Will be-
come general, II not universal. in oui
schools and colleges) 1t will be seer
that the actual period Of service vii
be. in nearly all cases, considerably
less than six months. 1t would seen
impossible that anS one could serious

training are obvious. 1t VII develop
our young men and teach them how tc
train themselves, 1t will tit them bet
ter for their duties on the farm or II
the factory, They will be taught disci
pline and cooperation.
These considerations alone would
seem to bo sufficient. but they ar
apart from the imperative necessity o
universal military training as the onl,
practical means of giving to this coun
try AN adequate national army. 7,
