ADOPT SPORT
OF CANADIANS
Horse Racing on Ice Be-
coming Popular Sport
In States.

Trotting races on the fee. long
recognized as one OF the leading
winter professional sports in Cana
da, is finding a place in the United
States this year and from the size
Of crowds which are patronizing the
races IL is bound TO become popular
in those States where cold weather
make IL practicable.
In some OF the northern cities.
Cleveland particularly. ordinary
half-mile race tracks are utilized.
The tracks are flooded evenly.
glaze OF fee being left by the freese.
Horses are shod with saw-tooth
shoes which prevent the horses
slipping. the shoes being the same
design as those used in ice racing
in Russia. Ordinary driving sul-
keys are used.
The drivers contrast greatly with
those commonly seen in the summer.
Instead OF the brightly colored caps,
the silk coats and the light shirts or
sweaters. they are bundled in furs.
heavy shoes or boots and heavy
sweaters or wooden shirts.
OF course il is impossible TO make
record time over the ice. The trot-
ting record is held by PiluEa. an
Orion mare in Petrograd. thirteen
years ago. She trotted the mile in
2:14. The best time made in a race
is 2:16. made by Dave K in a race
at Montreal in 1908.
The pacing records are consider
ably lower. The Eel paced a mile
against time in 2:11 Ia at Ottawa,
Canada, in 1909 and Royal Grattsn
paced a mile in a race in 2:ls Ia
at Toronto in 1919

QUAKER FANS
HAVE NO KICK
Connie Mack Had Right to
Sell Stars as Fans Did
Not Support Winners.

Connie Mack has often been called
the brainiest manager in the big
leagues. His ability TO build up great
baseball machines together with his
generalship in managing those ma
chimes on the field have given him
that reputation.
Mack has had two great baseball
machines since the American league
began eighteen years ago and had
another on the way last summer.
Mack finished in the cellar, but he
had a club of youngsters who could
hit the ball and he had some very
promising recruits with whom he ex-
pected to force himself into q select
place In the league within q year or
two.
There probably was no more disap-
pointed man I'm baseball than Mack
when he found fifteen Of his men,
some Of them the hubs round which
he was building his machine, were
called by the draft. 1t meant that the
work Connie had been doing since the
fall OF 1914 had gone to smash.
There were two things Mack could
do. He could try to build up a club
around the few stars who remained
to him and lose money or he could
sell his stars and begin over again
and make up for his losses.
Mack chose the latter step and for
Q good reason.
Over a space Of four years Mack
had a winning team. winning the pen
nant three times and finishing second
once. In spite of the fact that his
players were not paid huge salaries
and that the club was operated econ
omically he lost money. On this ac-
count he decided to break up his club
In 1914 and get what he could from
the sale Of players.
His sales netted him s125, 900, enough
to cover his deficits and give him cap
ital to build up a new machine.
His late sales will cover deficits for
this year and perhaps next
Mack probably would have made
more money from baseball had he
not been SO heavily interested In the
Athletics. He owns half the club and
its losses are his losses. 1t Is well
known that Mack has received fat
! tering offers TO manager other Ameri-
can League clubs. 1t is said he was
offered $4,000 a year to take the Yam
KEGS the year Frank Chance managed
them and that Comiskey would have
paid him $4,000 a year the season
Rowland was secured But Mack was
forced to refuse these offers and stay
at Philadelphia. After giving Phila-
delphia i've winning teams II is not
at all surprising that he should now
be trying to repay himself for the
work he has done there.

SOUTHPAWSNOW
IN BIG DEMAND
Major League Pilots Have
Solved Problem of Ham
ding Lefthanders.

II the value OF a southpaw is doubted
the official averages of the National
League recently issued show conclu-
sively that the managers in the older
circuit have no doubt about their use.
The records show that no less than
81 port siders worked in the National.
probably the largest number ever
gathered together under one tent dur
ing a season.
Only a trifie over half cf this number
were pitchers. II in all. the rest work
ed in the outfield or on first base.
One manager, Fred Mitchell. could
have put an entire southpaw outheld
into the field had he wished to do so.
Williams, Wolter and Flack all throw
ing from the fork side.
The advantage of left-handed pitch
ers has long been well known. In the
days when they were scarce they could
usually be counted on to fool the bat
tiers with curves which broke just op-
posite to those OF the right-handers. AS
the game progressed some smart bat
ters learned TO bat left-handed so they
would be especially effective against
left-handed pitching. This also added
speed in the cases of fast baserunners
as they gained a couple of steps in
away IAdNC Oh q AAAs
A few years ago the switching of
batters to meet pitchers when a south
paw was substituted for a right-hand-
er was figured out.
Bill Carrigsn and later Jack Barry
used Del Gainor and Dick Hoblitzel at
first base. the latter against right
handed pitchers, the former against
the southpaws.
In the last world series both McGrsw
and Rowland switched to meet
changes Of pitchers.
Rowland used John Collins in left
field until the second game when Per-
ritt, a right-hander, was substituted
for Schupp, he sent in Leibold for the
balance OF the game. McGraw used
Thorpe on a change Of White Sox
pitchers.
Left-handers have always been won
ders at first base. Some OF the great
est initial sackers of today throw and
bat from the port side. Witness Hal
Chase. Jake Daubert, George Sisler
and Walter Holke.

Beginning with the Meadowbrook
games in Philadelphia the Penn
State trackmen will participate in

February and March, closing the
years work at Penn's relay carnival

worth looking at, as Western will be
out for revenge. The first meeting be-
tween these two schools resulted in q
victory for the Mt. Pleasant five after
hard fought game by the small mar
gin of Is to 9. Since this contest
Coach Morse has improved his defense
and with his scoring combination

Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in the
Richmond Market Armory.
Early in the season Central defeat
ed this quint IN the Mt. Pleasant gym
and the Baltimoreans will be out for
revenge. Central will have to fight
all the way to bring home the scalp
of Polytechnic.
Gonzaga will visit Baltimore tomor-
row to play the Loyola High School
in the Loyola Gym and a fast game Is
looked forward to. Gonzaga expects to
come home with the long end Of the
score. Gonzaga will use the same linc-
up that it sent against Georgetown
Prep yesterday IN this contest.
The game between Business and
Army and Navy Prep was called on
yesterday by the Prep boys, as they
played a hard game the day before
and wanted more time to rest between
games.
Business Is slated to play the fast
