Credit Where Credit Is Due

I vlVCN opportunity, sport generally brings credit
~ to itself. Almost 100000 worth of Liberty
bonds purchased in one day at the Polo
Grounds recently. Boxers and boxing followers
boosted the Red Cross fund more than $4,000 at
Madison Square Garden Friday night. Clark Grit
hth's bat and ball fund provides our soldiers with
baseball uniforms and equipment. The tax
tickets turns over thousands to the Office.
One baseball owner who has turned fifty years, is
on the firing line in France. One of tho first en-
listed men was former worlds champion catcher.
And so on
The owners of major league baseball franchises
are not rich men, if they are, they have not made
their money in baseball. Some are continuing this
season in the face of eertain loss They are doing
their best. If in every other line of wartime un-
essential business the behind that business do
well those sponsoring commerciaEzed sport
they will have apologies to make.

Huggins's Reviesu of Race

r TITLE MILLER HIGGINS came here new
IL manager in league new to him. 1t is odd how
little the average National League manager knows
of the American League and vice versa After more
than ten years study Of the National League Hug
felt that he knew the senior major league body from
end to end He could call every skeleton in the closet
by it's first name. But the American League aside
from the St. Louis Browns which he had met from
time to time in spring and fall seres he knew moth
ing of.
1t was not until the Clevelands played the Yanks
that marvellous game Friday that Higgins had seen
the entire American League pass before him. His
estimate OF the league and the chances of his club
in it he withheld until he had seen the all of it,
1.-THE American League this season is possessed
of a balance that is unusual in the majority of
races, said Higgins, in reviewing the first five
weeks OF play. "The teams playing we'll matched
ball that isn't smooth it will be, but which is
exceptionally interesting. Later the pitching and
team-play generally will improve, and then we NAV
know more of the outstanding pennant competitors.
After seeing all of the American League clubs
l am confident | have first division team at the
worst and one that will be in the thick of the pen
nant fight if my pitching shows the quality it has the
past week, and if of our men are called into
service until the present is done. have a
run-making ball club in that it is hitting team and
such a club always has chance.
Inc DiSSeSC ulIIerenCe l observe the
leagues is that the American League race is not lop
sided. So far haven't had chance for a ]etdown
In most of the National League races there ALWAYS
came time when strong club could have a breath
ing space against weak one. In the American
League this season to be in the race means that a
club must keep fighting every minute.
From the managerial end I have not had to
reshape my game to any extent In fact the stve Of
ball team should play is that which is best adanted
to the men on it, and that is what have tried to do
on the Yanks l always have believed that the thino
to do is to let ball player play the kind of game he
thinks he can play best, rather than try to reshane
his style and sap his confidence.
Chicago and Cleveland look dangerous IN ma
even more than the Boston Red Sox. The Browns
are accumulating winning streak at the expense If
some OF the weaker teams at present but Doubt II
Jones's men are as formidable as the Red sox. The
indications are that the hottest fighting will he AMONG

Syracuse Fair Setting Pace
National Body Encourages
Colt Racing
By Frank S. Cooke

After the authorities had Knocked
out betting in the East it looked as
though this section of the country was
doomed to very stingy menu of sport
when il came to mile track racing. The
first operation to remove this appen-
dix to racing was in the instance of
Readville, then came Hartford after
that Providence and finally the drastic
legislation in New York. With it the
part that the Grand Circuit played in
racing dropped to the lowest ebb, and
it was matter of greatest concern
with breeders, owners and other Off
Gals just what could be done to re-
store the heart beats
Some of the tracks stuck to it. and
the strong hold that trotting has on
Americans is shown in the way the
sport came back. Entries have been an
nounced for the Poughkeepsie,R eadville,
Hartford and Syracuse meetings in
turn, and they are more abundant than
those OF the first three meetings, which
are at North Randall, Kalamazoo and
Toledo. AS matter OF fact, the East
has come back so strong that there
is perfect balance in the two sections,
foretelling a great season If transpor-
tation is at hand and no unforeseen
hurdles are erected
The New York State fair at Syracuse
is setting the pace for the East, and
the entry, generally speaking, is the
best of any Of the tracks. The stellar
event, the Empire State Stake of S10,-
600, is for PIP trotters. and it received
thirfy-two entries, quite the largest in
any event Of its value.
Many Strange Entries
1t is noted in the entry that num-
Der Of horses practically unknown in
the Grand Circuit are on the list, and
most of these are local. Among them
are Larkspur, owned at Syracuse; Lord
Talbot, from Buffalo, Prince Milo, from
Rome; Burleigh Girl, from Annandale,
n j., and Spunk, from Endicott.
Then there are Prince Vincent, VAL
entine's new trotter,, that is working
so we'll at Columbus; the Bay State
half-miler, Earlwood L.. and Jim Cat
combs Gay Audubon, that have tried
il before; Prince Loree, that is coupled
with Peter Mac, and number of
others.
The class Of the Empire State bars
a number of horses that are in the rich
2:0S stakes along the line, and some
of these have dropped down into the
Governors Stake Of $4,000, for 2:os
trotters, which has no fewer than
eighteen entries, making it stand out
among all trotting events of the sea-
son. The horses in it, with their rec
ords and sires. are as follows:

with marks of 2:05 or faster, while
others either have breeders records or
non win-race records, which make them
eligible. 1t should be a corking race,
and in conjunction with the splendid

Colt Races Promising
Right down the big line this year
it is noticeable that the early closing

tiers have been patronized better than

are such that Nella Dillon, Peter June.
Ruth Mainsheet and others that beat
2:10 as two-year-olds are barred, which
lends to the attractiveness of the races
themselves.
Halfmile tracks where colt events
are announced also have had a fine
response, indicating that this is going
to be great year for the juvenile
sport Also, there are signs which
point to more work for the three-year-
olds IN the future. Some states have
their own breeders associations and

the announcement that the event for

FIELD GLASSES FOR ARMY USE

Heeding the recent appeal of the
army and navy to the American peopis
for field glasses, the local Offices of
the Holy Cross and White River for
ests collected eleven binoculars and two
monoculars which have been in use OH
the two forests for the detection of for
est fires and have forwarded them to
Washington. Here is hoping that these
IL glasses may account for at least al
many enemy U-boats. Everyone trav.
cling in or near the forests should
show the same spirit of cooperation by
using the greatest care to prevent fires
in our forests SO that the lending Of
these glasses to the army and navy will
not be felt by the forest service. Per.

EXPLOSIONS AND FIRES

New York, March 26.-Fire following
series of unexplained explosions de-
stroyed the six-story building of the
Jarvis Warehouse company, Inc, near
the Erie railroad terminal in Jersey CITY
late today and badly damaged-the Erie
repair shops. No loss of life has been
reported tonight. The material damage
was estimated at close to $1,5O0,000.
The goods stored in the warehouse,
said to have included quantity Of
chemicals, were total loss.
The cause Of the explosion has not
yet been determined, although q rigid
Investigation was begun at once by

south, the Hoboken ferry slip of the
Lackawanna railroad was on fire.
The Erie ferry house was aflame
from the second story of the roof.
These fires were easily extinguished by
the New York firemen, many of whom
were ordered to Jersey City to fight
the bigger fire.
Employed in the Jarvis store house
were between forty and fifty men, but
the prompt sounding of the alarm is BE-
lieved to have enabled all to escape.
Scores of persons in the streets were
cut by falling glass. Hundreds of store
and tenement windows, some of them
mile away, were blown out by the
force of the blasts. Several small
frame buildings near the warehouse were
wrecked by the explosions.
Frightened women and children filled
the streets in the congested sections of
Jersey City and Hoboken near tho
scene of the explosion. The fire spread
with such rapidity that the Jersey City
fighters soon called for outside aid,
Fire apparatuses were sent from Ho.

stiff wind was blowing from the north
and for time it looked as If the en-
