WACOMBER PLANNING
BIG BREEDING FARM
Hearty Half Million Dollars Worth
of Sircs and Mares for Cali
fOrnia Ranch.

4. X. Macomber of Burlingame,
cal, who owns one of the largest
racing stables in this country, Is plan
ming to establish breeding farm.
Word has been received from Burl-
ingame that Mr. Macomber intends
to ship the best Of his horses, which
include some fifty or more English
and French thorobreds, to California.
He has expressed the hope to his
friends that the breeding industry
Will be placed on the same nrm basis
I'm California that il has been in
kentucky, Maryland and other places
in the east.
1t is estimated that the Macomber
horses, including some OF the cream
of the English sires and mares, are
worth more than 100000. His colors
will be worn in practically every stake
race of Importance in the east. Sun
bonnet, "A 3-ycar-old filly is one of the
favorites for the Kentucky oaks, and
her owner regrets that she Is not in
line for the classic derby.
The Macombcr colors will not lack
for royalty bred horses to carry them.
In the Kentucky derby he will have
North Star III for which he paid
some 100000; War star, Hollister, lie
Chevesne, Walnut Hall, Star Master
and Star Gazer, Star Hawk, Boots, Ed
Crump, Dodge, The Cock and others
will represent him In the all-aged
stake races.
II is probable that Mr.. Macomber
will ship one or more Of his imported
stations TO Burlingame when the
season here is a little further along.

While there was a lessening OF the
bllghting effects Of war on athletics
during the second week since HOSTILE
ties were formally ushered in sports
have suffered considerably during the
last week.
The most serious development OF
the week was the proposal to levy a
war tax on all baseball games. II this
proposal Is carried out, league presi-
dents, major and minor. declare it
means the suspension OF organized
baseball. as the game right now is in
no condition to stand n heavy drag
which would be necessary If suffi-
cient funds were raised by such meth
DDS to do the government any good
President Ban Johnson has decllred
It would mean the closing Of all
American league parks. President
Bell has said 1t would kill the West
ern association and number of mi
nor league presidents are going to
Washington to seek to forestal such
legislation President Bell has tele-
graphed Texas and Oklahoma repre-
sentatives in congress protesting
against the proposal.
Tax May Come Later.
Another question this has brought
up is that even should baseball
leagues suspend for the duration OF
the war. they may be taxed after the
war to help pay the debt
Here are some OF the developments
Of the week in the sport world, caused
by the war:
southern athletes propose general
preparedness meet as substitute for
the annual track and field meet Of
the Southern A. A. U.
Stanford university cancels all ath-
letio schedules
Military drills preceding the games
feature all major league baseball
games.
Possibility that all athletics OF the

ference may be called off.

Profits by Others Experience.
In deciding upon his policy. Al
Ncnn. manager OF the Midway. has
profted by the experience of others,
not only in Tulsa. but also in other
cities which have been boxing centers.
He has been studying the proposition
for months and he has come to the
conclusion that the classy little boys
who never disappoint and popular
prices are better than taking fliers
with the big boys and big moneys.
The boys who are in greater de-
mand than any others, and those
who put up universally good scraps,
are bantams The woods are full of
them. There also are many good
featherweights and lightweights and
these are what the Midway expects to
bring into Tulsa.

There are no better entertainers In
the business than Jackson and Cou-
lon. Both OF these lads are directly
in the running for the bantamweight
championship, each boastng win

Ertle can be located by that time and
induced to come here for the winner.
Ertle and the winner will be the match

Monday being the recognized boxing
night thruOut the United States The
reason the first show comes in mid
