JACKLITSCH WAS ASLEEP.
Fred's Appointment in Navy Re-
calls on Old Story

Fred Jacklitsch. an old ball play
er' has been made athletic director
lot the Brooklyn Armed Guard, re-
calling to mind his championship as
sleeper. He is said to have had
something on Bill Burns. the old
washington pitcher, who could take
nap between innings of the game
ne himself was pitching.
When Walter Minor was manas-
Ing the Minneapolis club in 1900 he
was hard up for a catcher and bor-
rowed Jocklitsch from a big league
club. Fred arrived. practiced and
went to the bench as the game he
gan. Wilmot forgot all about Jack
litsch in the excitement of a battle
that went seventeen innings.
With darkness settling down. the
score to and the bases full and
two down, Wilmot suddenly remem-
oered the big league catcher. He
decided TO send him in to hit in the
pinch. But there was no reply to
his call.
Wiimot dashed away from the
bench and out around the stand.
There he found Jacklitsch Sound
asleep in the thinning game"
Wilmot sent the champion sleeper
away that night.

PITTSBURGH MAY
NEED NEW COACH

Pittsburgh has two of the best
football coaches in the college
world-Glenn Warner at Pitt and
Walter Steffen at Tech-yet neither
may be there next year. Warner
intends to >enlist in army work at
the close of the present uncertain
season, and Steffen will retire per-
manently.
Warner has been longer in the
game than Steffen, and is the senior
of the Plaid instructor almose 20
years, but he has not yet expressed
desire to give up athletics for all
time. He win probably be idepti-
fed with sports either in this coun-
try or overseas, as director or in
structor.
Steffen, like Warner. is q lawyer.
but is a councilman in Chicago, and
he finds he cannot devote any time
TO football in the fall and attend to
his business at home. although pc
culiar conditions have so shaped
matters that he can get away this
season. but he declares he Is through
with football when he closes his con-
tract ut Tech.
SO 1t looks as though Pitt will
have to look about for a coach for
next fall If the war continues.

OLD ROAMER IS
KING OF HORSES
Miller's Gelding Has Won
$95,0O0 in Stakes; Age
Is No Drawback.

No thoroughbred In the United
States has a more devoted following
that Roamer, the record-holding
whipcord and whalebone gelding now
nearing the close of his sixth year
Of racing. Rivals have come and
gone, but Roamer, the marvel horse
of the decade, is as sound and tire
less as in his 3-year-old career, when
he won twelve out of sixteen starts
and lowered the colors of every good
horse in training.
At an age when most thorough
breds are either broken down or have
lost their speed and powers of en-
durance Roamer Is fiourishing like
a green bay tree. To date he has
started in eighty-nine races. of
which he has won thirty-eicht: been
second in twenty-three, third in six
and unplaced in twenty-five.
His winnings are almost So, 600 and
in this connection 1t must not be
forgotten that many of his victories
were achieved during the lean years
Of racing, when the sport was kept
alive through the existence of a fund
contributed by a number of men VINO
believed in the thoroughbred horse
and refused to let him become ex-
tinct.
Bred the property Of the late Wood
ford Clay, he is Of purely English
lineage, his sire, knight Errant, be-
ing by Trenton, a son of Musket
while his dam, Rose Tree IL, is by
Bona Vista, by Ben dor. knight
Errant was little better than a good
platter. but he had the blood of ST.
Simon through his dam, st. Mildred
He ran in the colors of the late
Philip J. Dwyer. and the story goes
that Roamer owes his existence to the
fact that HIS dam. Rose Tree n,
was mated with him because the
premier stallion on the Clay farm
was blind. Rose Tree II. was her
self sightless. She had been the
medium for a tremendous betting
coup in England on the part of
Edward Corrigan and his associates,
who claimed her out OF a selling race
After being brought to the United
States she became blind.
1t is related that Woodford Clay
thought he had a good race horse
in the little gelding until old Rosebud
beat him, and the story runs that II
Albert Simons, who bid the gelding
up to s.. go after he had won a race
at Belmont Park, had gone a few

bagged the prize. AS It was Andrew
Miller bought Roamer privately for
$500 a few days later and straight
way won him out, as he captured the
Saratoga Special the second time he
went to the post in his colors.
An analysis of the big handicaps
shows that he was always in the first
flight forcing the pace, and he has
to his credit more miles in IS or
better than any other performer the
American turf has ever known. Add
to this that fact that Roamer requires
twice as much work to keep him fit
as any of his rivals, and one gets
some idea of the marvellous makeup
of this phenomenon in the shape of
u race horse.

SUNNY SLOPE
CAUSES UPSET
Defeat of Beach Stable Star
at Laurel Keeps 3-Year-
Old Champ in Doubt.

The defeat Of Sunny Slope by Ex-
terminator and The Porter at Laurel
last week renders the closing Of the
Maryland tracks more interesting
than ever. as both OF those who fin
shed in front of the crack OF the
Beach stable are Of his age. and both
are considered by their connection as
having some claim to be placed in
the front rank of 3-year-olds.
The race in which the colors of the
son OF Astronomer were lowered was
hy no means decisive. as he was Civ
ing weight to his opponents, and
those who saw the contest were Of
the opinion that Sunny Slope was not
ridden any too well. Carrying $50
pounds Sunny Slope was allowed to
90 out and follow the swift pace set
by. ENterminator, and II was little
wonder that ne gave way when the
pinch came. as the Kentucky Derby
winner was shouldering 11S pounds,
and was admirably nursed along by
that master hOrseman, Willie Knapp.
For The Porter it was also claimed
that he suffered from incompetency

any circumstances he showed that he
IS a much better horse than he had
been rated since he came East after

The Porter was in receipt of only
four pounds from Sunny SloTe. and
after the latter failed under his heavy
weight The Porter came on to finish
close up with Exterminator and four
lengths in front Of the colt. which has
been placed at the head of the S-year-
olds since Johren retired.
There Is little doubt that this trio
will meet again shortly. and il
would be no surprize to see a special
arranged for either Laurel or Pimlico
In which the contenders would be
asked to carry scale weight over a
mile and a quarter route. Those who
have Sunny Slope in charge are con-
hdent that he will redeem himself IL
he has the chance. There is no doubt
that he was not at his best when Ex-
terminator outran him, and the ex-
Dlanation is that he was coughing
