This has pro- duced peculiar condition of affairs, for while Colin is registered in the English stud book a sister or brother to him or their produce would be re- fused.
 This is the time for the American breeder to study the blood lines of the families he wishes to combinel He should not be carried away by brilliant top crosses. but should deIve into the female lines and see that they contain the qualifications he wishes to incor- porate in his product

DETROIT TIGERs NEED MORE THAN HIN

A STRANGE combination of cir
 cumstances has relegated Old Wahoo Crawford of the, Detroit Tigers to the bench after worthy and honor able career of sixteen years as big league swatsmith. His hits, it seems, are not as badly needed as the fielding and base running of another man. The Tigers still carry the punch, even with Crawford out.
 Having missed Crawford's name from the scoresI the fans assumed that he had been injured. Nothing but in juries had ever kept him out of the game before and he was noted as a fielder who pursued the even tenor of his clubbing way with few vacations. He missed hardly half dozen games a season.
 There is a saying among ball players that a natural eye never aims until long after the legs and arms give way. There are a few old timers who can still hit, and that's all. Cap -Anson can swing a. bat effectively to this day, and Gap is beyond sixty. Of the younger generation we have Mike Donlin, Harry Mccormick and others who can tear l into good pitching yet. They are through in the big show because they have slowed up in other ways. Sam Crawford is of this type. Prob

CANOE SAILING SHOULD SATISFY SEEKER OF TiR ING WATER SPO

EVER try canoe sailing? No? @ Well, go to it. That is if you are a good swimmer, for you'll get many a ducking. Canoe sail ing is not new by any means, but it is good sport and is becoming more popular than ever.
 The two illustrations here give a good idea of what it is like. When there is a good stiff wind blowing, canoe sailing furnishes good sport for the handler and amusement for the onlooker.
 With a fairly good wind to carry the small craft along at a good rate of speed, the sailor has his hands full balancing the boat, and if he is not an expert it is sure to turn over, and then the yachtsman receives a dip into the water.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-06-23

ably Crawford will be able to hit as long as he trains and leads an active life, but he has reached the stage where the flesh of middle age and the pound ing of sixteen1 years over the base paths and outfe1d stretches have over balanced his hittingA
 And there is one other such. Charley Hickman had to quit a few years ago because he took on flesh faster than he could train 1t off. Hickman was great natural hitter, and after long career in the big league he pastimed several seasons with the Toledo team. Finally Charley became too heavy to bear his weight. Those piano legs for which fe was famed would not support his huge bulk, and he could not cover any ground in the outfeld. So he quit, though he could still hit.
 There is a possibility that Crawford may come back as a regular, but he is through as an outf1elder. Jennings thinks Samuel is still fast enough to play an acceptable first base, and if George Burns falls down in his hitting Old Wahoo may turn dnf1elder. Burns was hitting so poorly on the spring training trip that he came near losing His job, but now he is one of, the Amer fcan leaders and. of course9 cannot be dislodged.

Leonard Fell
 Into Ring Game

BENNY LEONARD, the nineteen
 year-old New York boy who whip ped lightweight Freddie Welsh and who is looked uponl as a better ring general than Welsh ever was, literally dropped into the fighting game. This is the story told of Benny's, entrance.
 Two years ago Benny climbed to a window at a fight club and fell in.
 What do you want" demanded an attendant, seizing Benny roughly.
 T want to fight" was I1eonards ex- p1anation.
 He was showed into a dressing room and told to get ready. In a few min utes he found himself under the lights facing tough customer. He won.
 Benny has been in the ring almost constantly. He has fought 200 battles and has been knocked from his feet but once. His face has never been marked. Had it been Benny would not now be the prospective champion.
 In the early days his mother would have spanked him had she known he was boxing. So Benny would tuck his shoes into his hip pocket, his trunks under his shirt, explain that he was just going down to the corner and hustle out.
 Had he ever returned with face bat tered Benny's fighting days would have been over. The situation turned Benny into a wonderful man on de- fense. He was a popular prelim fighter and will be, the ringsiders say, a pop ular champion. Aggressive to the fin ish, a hard hitter. physically dexterous and mentally nimble, he always puts up dandy scrap. A Knockout is all ways in prospect when he is in the ring.

TUTTH some of the best thoroughbred
 families represented, the per- formance of the foreign two-year- olds which have been shipped to this coun- try during the past six months is be- ing watched with interest by all horse- men. Tn discussing the point recently W. H. Rowe, the registrar of the Jockey club and an acknowledged expert on blood lines, said:
 MO doubt there are many winning families represented in recent nnpor- 3ations and a satisfactory number of them will produce animals of merit. but American breeders should not lose sight of the fact that we have at home some of the greatest racing blood, viewed in the light of achievement. that turf history has recorded. Take, for example. the Maggie B. B.. Ballet and GaIlopade families. There is scarcely a classic in this country that has not been won by descendants of these mares, while they figure in the pedigfees of the winners of the Derby and other great turf events of Eng land and continental Europe.
 Despite their achievements we find that the descendants of Wanda and
 Ballet are barred from registration in the English and French stud books be- cause the female line, as recorded in

taining stamina as well as speed, will always beI the ideal race horse until breeders stop producing sprinters in stead of horses which are capable of going over longer route than six fur longs. There is little doubt that the American thoroughbred has the stam- ina, and if this quality were more fully developed it would not only give us better quality of race horse. but it would make our stallions more desir- able as sires, while at the same time they would compare favorably with the products of Great Britain and France.
 Speed must be served, of course. and it is the first essential which every great race horse must possess. If we speed and staying powers we then have real horses.
