ADVANTAGES OF FALL COLTS
Youngster Can Be Weaned in Spring
When Grass Is Beginning to
Come-Pasture Helps.

A very large proportion of all colts
are foaled in the spring. However,
some who have raised a fall colt or
two each year have found the advan-
tages are not all N favor of the prac-
tice of exclusive spring colt raising.
A colt foaled in September or early
October will get nice start before
the pasture dries up and winter ap-
proaches. Then the mare and colt
should receive a plentiful and nOur-
ishing ration through the winter. The
colt can be weaned in the spring when
the grass is beginning to come, and
the pasture will help wonderfully to
keep it in condition and to keep 1t
going.

Miss Melva Beatrice Wilson has
spent her summers for eight consecu-
tive years at work in Calvary ceme-
terry, one of New York city's great
est cities of the dead. She has
been engaged on the sculptural exte-
rior and the mural interior decoration
of the mOrtuary chapel and mausoleum
erected by Cardinal Farley for the
prelatcs and priests Of the archdiocese
of New York.
The chapel and the mausoleum are
situated on the highest point in the
cemetery, with wonderful view COM
manding the turmoil of the city on one
side and the wide eXpanse of Long
Island sound on the other. The chapel
and the hundred catacomblike sepul-
chrcs are early Byzantine in architec-
ture. The reputed cost is half mil
lion dollars. The structure is built Of
hard blue Indiana limestone.

DISPOSITION OF DEAD HOGS
Mighty Poor Practice to Bury Cholera
Victims or Permit Them to
Lie Around In Open.

Only too often, when an outbreak
of hog cholera is investigated IL Is
found that last fall or winter, pre-
vious tenant lost several hogs, buried
them about six inches deep and your
hogs dug them up. Other cases are
found to be due to some dog which
has been feasting "a dead, unburned
hog carcasses left out In the open by
some person mile or more away.
The dog brings home bone, a piece
of skin or chunk of meat, and
leaves It in the hog lot. The pigs
promptly consume the morsel, hog
cholera germs and all. The only best
way of combating this method OF
spreading disease is to burn every
dead hog completely. When reduced
TO ashes, there is left no ghost to
walk.

The shoemaker gathered up the bills

Then frantic woman burst into the

In Courtesy to Big League Umpires

that they saw Merkle touch second
base. The board of directors were
about to decide in favor of New YORK
when they came upon an affidavit they
had requested of Mathewson, but which
had been overlooked up to that time.
Matty told the truth.
If there was ever temptation to eva
ison it might have been expected in
Mattys case after that memorable tie
game. Truth meant the loss of a pen
nant and the rich spoils of worlds
series But il meant more still to
Big Six. Beaten In the playoff game,
he lost the pitching championship Of
the National League for that season as
well.
Do you still wonder why Mathewson
is succeeding in Cincinnati where other
successes failed? His manhood and
integrity have won over the unwieldy
board Of directors that hampered many
of his predecessors. For even the Gin
cinnati board of directors can recog-
nize truth.
Mathewson has whole lot besides
honesty TO recommend him, OF course.
There is no smarter baseball man in

Pimlico Races
Offer Several
New Features

Baltimore, July 1.-THE Maryland
Jockey Club, which conducts its racing
at picturesque Pimlico track, just or
the edge of Baltimore City, will make
the strongest bid this coming autumn
for the support of horsemen and OF
patrons of racing ever made by Mary
land racing association.
Indeed, the programme for the meet
ing Of the first fortnight of November
authorized by the Pimico board of d.
rectors and announced here for the
first time by William p. Riggs, the club
secretary, compares favorably with any
ever offered by the Coney Island Jockey
Club, which was always the most en-
terprising and liberal of the New York
racing associations, in the flush days
of racing at Sheepshead Bay.
The Walden, Pimlico's popular mile
race for wo-year-olds, will have a
value of $4,000 in added money next
fall and in the succeeding seasons. The
Bowie Cup, a handicap at one mile and
a half for three-year-o and over, in
stituted in 1909 and won on the occa-
sion of its first running by Fitz Her.
bert, will hereafter cost the Maryland
Jockey Club $4,000, as will also the
Manley Memorial. steeplechase at two
miles and a half for four year-olds and
over, inaugurated last fall and named
for the late William NJ. Manley, who
was president of the Maryland Jockey
Club during the last fifteen years of
his life. The Manley Memorial was a
$4,000 race last fall.
The Elkridge, Pimlco's comparative
ly new steeplechase at two miles for
three-year-old fencers, will pay $4,000
10 the winner, and a new race for fiat
running three-year- at one mile
and a quarter that will be known as
the Pimlico Autumn Handicap has been
provided for. The Pimlico Autumn
Handicap will have a value of $4,000 in
added money.
Stakes that will be renewed at in
creased values are the Arlington and
Monumental, the distances Of which
will be one mile and a sixteenth and
one mile and three sixteenths, respec-
lively, and the Pimlico Serial handi-
caps, Numbers /, 2 and 3, the dis
tances of which will be six furlongs,
one mile and one mile and a furlong,
respectively. The Maryland Jockey
Club will add $4,000 each in the Airing
ton and the Monumental, and 81 500
eaCn IN lne stIlhl HhHulChps. lheTc
also will be n brand new selling race
at one mile and quarter for three
year-olds and over, called the Pimlico
Autumn Selling Race, which will cost
the club 81 300.
In each of the bigger races there will
be money for four horses. The Bowie
Cup and the Manley Memorial-the
$4,000 events-will pay $4,000 70 the
second, $1,000 to the third and $500 to
the fourth.

Golf will have at least one week TINS
season beyond anything it has known,
even in the piping times of peace.
Starting a week from Tuesday, there
will be a golf gathering for the Red
Cross fund which promises TO outclass
even the average field in an open cham
rionship.
For this field will not only embrace
every leading professional in America,
but also most CT the leading amateurs.
The general scheme is this: On
Tuesday. July "a, there will first be a
36-hole medal round at Englewood,
n. J. Competing in this will be found
such star professionals as Gil Nichols,
Jim Barnes, Jock Hutchinson, Waiter
Hagen, Mike Brady. Tommy Mcnamara,
Alex Smith, Bob Mcdonald and others
known to the fame of the game.
Among the leading amateurs will be
Jerry Travers, Oswald Kirkby, Bobby
Jones, Perry Adair, John G. Anderson,
J. S. Worthington, Norman Maxwell and
possibly Chick Evans. who hopes 70
get away for the big event. Certainly
no open championship ever knew a
finer field.
Then for three days follow team
matches among the amateurs, English,
Scotch and home bred pros.
In this process each team is TO meet
each rival in a three-day tournament
at Baltusrol. Garden City and Siwanoy,
all championship courses.
These matches should be unusually
interesting to any one who follows golf.
For example: On the first day at Bal
tusrol, say, the amateurs face the Eng
lish team, while the home-breds face
the Scotch.
Here. then, may be a few pairings:
Ouimet VS.. Gil Nichols; Chick Evans
VS.. Jim Barnes; Jerry Travers We.
George Sergeant.
Under the arrangement Travers,
Evans and Kirkby would meet such
stars as Nichols, Barnes, Hagen and
Hutchinson.
The English also face the Scots and
the home-breds, where Nichols and
Barnes would be tossed against Hutch
inson and Mcdonald and against Hagen
and Mcnamara or Brady.
There Is not only great rivalry
