Four of His Get Take All
Money in First uturity
Of Year
BY Frank S. Cooke

At time when so many stations are
string champions, when honors among
both colt and aged trotters are lib
orally divided, it is a wonderful tribute
to any horse to have four Of his get
take ali of the money in the first fut-
urity of the year. And that is exactly
what happened when the Champion
Stallion Stake, promoted by the Ameri-
can Trotting Horse Breeders Assoeia-
ton, was raced on the smooth oval at
North Randall last Wednesday.
When the training season was
launched in March and before any Of
the colts had been we'll sampled Nella
Dillon and Peter June stood out as best
in the three year-old division. They
had raced so cleverly as two-year- olds
that it did not look as though any could
wrest honors and money from them.
But with the inauguration of racing
Hollywood Bob knocked off heat in
2:04sa, and little later Chestnut Peter
tripped mile in 2:05A at Columbus,
and did it in such manner that he was
favorite in the Cleveland event last
week.
Murphy Retains Control
Tommy Murphy, who trained Chest
nut Peter this year, also owned him,
and after his first win at Kalamazoo
sold him to a Boston sportsman for
S25, 900 but retained control of the
colt. The Champion Stallion Stake was
little harder for him than his other

! Jamaica Club
TOT iiniish Links
After the War

The Jamaica Country Club has an
interesting nine-hole course within
easy distance of this city. 1t is within
walking distance of the elevated road
at the last station in Jamaica, and is
laid out over the hills composing the
backbone of Long Island 1t is north
east of the town of Jamaica, on what
might be called the outskirts. The
course is in the neighborhood of 5000
yards in length and is in good condi-
ton.
The club has sufficient property for
full eghteen-hole course, but the
second nine holes will not be laid out
until after the war. There is cosey
clubhouse on the property, and a per
son can spend pleasant days outing
on the course which is undulating and
gives a fair variety.
For sporty, natural eighteen-hole
course more beautiful spot can
scarcely be found than the public links
in Forest Park, Brooklyn. 1t is trifle
short of 5000 yards, with a par OF IL,
which is not often made. 1t is not q
hard course if one plays perfectly
stralght, Dut there IS no ldch o. tlouole
if one is inclined to pull or slice. Four
of the first six holes were cut directly
through the woods, while the other two
have greens bordering the woods on
the right.
Little golf is being played on any
of the courses in the metropolitan dis
trct in this extremely warm weather,
but there will be plenty after Labor
Day, which is about the beginning Of
the fall season,

English Golfers
Hard at Work
To Defeat Hun

According to the latest English
sporting exchanges, the golfers abroad
are lamentng the absence Of the great
triumvirate in golf, by which is meant
Harry Vardon, J. H. Taylor and James
Braid. The trio has been claimed by
the British government during the
period Of the war, and while they are
not ministers, controllers or generals,
they are doing their bit toward the
RELOCATION of the Hun.
Vardon is boss of large tract of
land in the neighborhood of the Tot
tenrdge links, and he is growing veg
ctables and other food stuffs for the
army. 1t is very suitable job for
Vardon, as he was a gardener in his
early days. He finds the return to
his old love quite interesting. Tay-

hon spoke Of the things needed by

There was close attention and evi-

icitors went through the audience

PROF. QUALHElm AND MRS. !.
J. G. MURPHY Al. PRINCESS
Miss 0oyle viii Speak Thursday, Or.
Hicks Saturday and Miss Cava-
naugh Next Tuesday.

Professor Qualheim's address at
the Princess Theatre on Saturday
evening last was the most interest
ing of the four minute series. It
was, perhaps, less scholarly than
some of his preceding efforts but
more interesting. It was full of en-
thusiastic commentator for the al
lied cause and vitrolic condemnation
of the discontented disturbers who
seek to infame the enemies of our
economic system into opposition to
the administration and to the war.
He said the man who calls this a
war of the rotten rich is a traitor;
that consumption of wealth as advo-
Gated by socialists would close the
factories of the nation and bring
about industrial bankruptcy; that
we must mobilize every effort to sup
press these insidious mouthings or
we will not long be free. He said
the socialist party was instrumental
in raising the cry that this was the
war of the rotten rich and that their
demand that the productive class
share with the non-productive class
is impractible in peace and intoler-
able in war.
Concluding he said this is a. war
for right and right will prevail.
Right crushed to earth will rise
again; that this country was the
first to establish the equality Of man
and will be the last to maintain it.
That this war will determine whe-
ther right shall prevail or wrong
shall prevail. That it takes red blood
and ammunition to win the war.
Red blood and money. If you cannot
give blood, give money. Don't stay
at home and holler "this is a war of
the rotten rich"
Mrs. ]. c. Murphy was the speaker
at the tuesday evening performance.
She recited a poem entitled "The
Boy Next Door," who grew up and is
now in the American army in France
fighting for you and for me, and urg-
ed everybody to help feed and clothe
the boy next door by buying Liberty
Bonds. She said there are some peo-
pie in Grand Marais who are ot~sup-
porting the Government and are even
talking against it. That there are
people here who are bowling about
the lack of sugar and -four instead
of saving food for the boy next door.
Miss Boyle will speak at the
Thursday evening performance, DR..
