FAMOUS HORSES
DO COMEBACK
Roamer, Old Rosebud and
Omar Khayyam Ready
for Spring Meet.

There are many interesting ques-
tions to be answered in racing this
season. 1t has been many a long
year since there have been so many
noted horses about which there was
doubt as there is at the present
time. There always is a great deal
OF curiosity to see how the crack
,-year-olds OF the season before
will perform. This season there
also are an unusual number of old
er horses that will try to come
back.
Anorew Miller's popular old geld
Ing Roamer. probably is the most
prominent of the lot. Roamer did
not actually break down last year
after his remarkable feat of run
ming mile against time in "a AS.
but he lost much of his form and
became so mean tempered that he
had to be retired for the season
earlier than was intended. Racing
followers are hoping that the old
fellow-who is about to begin his
sixth year of racing-will have re-
edihtu all Ills EtfndThdDlt spetu
and stamina. Reports from Graves
end, where he has wintered. are
that Roamer is looking better than
ever and promises to round into
form quickly.
Old Rosebud, that other famous
gelding. will make an attempt to
come back this season. Old Rose
bud did not race last season. hav-
ing broken down badly early in the
spring. He was fired and turned
out for the year and now he is re-
ported to be ready to resume train
ing.
Omar Khayyam did not break
down last year. but the winner of
the 1917 Kentucky Derby and B.
year-old champion. was away on
form all season.
Just before he was retired for
the year late in the fall Omar
khayyam began to do better, and
his trainer declared that he had
located the trouble with the son
of Marco and that he would be as
good as ever during the season of
1919.

REDS JUST CAN'T SPARE
OLD SHERWOOD MAGEE

Sherwood Magee's announcement
of retirement worries the fans" says
Bill Phelan. They don't want to
lose that aged bird. Mag was all
there with the stick last season. and
did his hitting at the time when 1t
counted most. He slammed that ball
on the muzzIe-slammed it when the
sacks were populous. and drove in
fleets of runs. A man who can hit
as he can hit, and in such timely
fashion, cannot be spared. Pat Moran
will doubtless scuttle to Philadelphia
and argue with him. If Mays re-
tirement is caused by a belief that
he rs slowing up Pat will reassure him
and If cut in salary is the real
reason. Patrick will argue for him
with the club. Can't spare Sherwood
Magee. that's all there is to it-and
especially not If whatever shortstop
the Reds get should be weak hit

May CHANGE
RACING DATES
Because of Conflict Belmont
. Park Terminal to Ask for
June Ia to Il for Meet.

New York, March 5.-Directiy il be-
came a certainty that there would
be a conflict In dates between their
projected meeting at Belmont Park
Terminal on May l and q and PIN
lico, the United Hunts Racing As
sociation concluded that it would be
advisable to ask the Jockey Club
for a change in dates, with the re-
suit that there is a strong likelihood
that June IA and 21 will be awarded
the Terminal sessions.
The fact that Jamaica does not
stage steeplechase events warranted
the Hunts management in accepting
the two days in May when 1t was
fancied that all the principal through
the field" events at Pimlico would
be so arranged as to give the metro
politan organization a free field In
the matter of prospective triers for
the banner events to be held at the
little brother to Belmont Park.
The Maryland events, however. have
been, so arranged as to preclude a
chance of other than a conflict and
while opposition to Jamaica would
be of a nature which would do little
or no harm to the attendance at
either that track or the Terminal.
the prospective loss of some of the
horses which may spin for the fea-
lures at the latter course virtually
demanded that the May dates he
tossed aside and two days in June
asked for.
With the running Of the Terminal
meeting on the dates mentioned above.
n h.. AxNa n
session Will split the meetings at Bel
mont Park and Aqueduct, where
horses of the type which spin for
the rich stakes of the United Hunts
find competition at frequent inter-
walls. with the United Hunts granted
the dates asked for, there will be
strong likelihood that the same stel-
lar fields will be seen in action for
the famous double event and the great
United Hunts steeplechases, events OF
the q, 600 brand.
Coincident with the notice that a
change of dates for the meeting has
become obligatory is the announce
ment that the time Of the closing OF
entries for the double event has been
set for May 3. up to which time sub
scriptions will be received for this
topnotch race through the field.
BY this condition it is handicap
affair, the first section to be run in
the spring and the second in the au-
tumn, with the distance two miles
and three miles, respectively. The
subscription is $500. which will entitle
subscribers to have a starter in e ach
event. Ons-half of the subscription
money goes to the winner of each
event.

The Christmas season is again
here, and let us not forget, in the
mad rush, that this is the anniYer-
sary of the birth of our Savior,
Jesus Christ, who labored, suffered
and died on the cross that we, even
you and l, might have the privilege
Of securing everlasting life. We
are prone to overlook the real mean
ing of this holiday, and tonight as
your servant penned the comings
and goings of the Christmas season,
he felt a sort of pang of conscience
when he found himself writing the
name of this holy day with an X
instead of the name of Him in whose
honor the holiday is given. Let us
spend at least a part OF the day in
being really thankful for some OF
the multitude OF blessings Christ
brought us by being born into the
world.

agency Of legislation hostile to horse
racing, state or national, with the con-
tinuOus production of runners and trot-
tiers, but that the government must find
a means, as was suggested by the bu-
reau Of animal industry as far back as
1911, of stimulating the production Of
running and trotting types.
Racing to be Encouraged. efa
If the running and trOtting types
were not the only light types available
for the work of creating special army
horse, it would be necessary to give
them the biggest roles in the scheme
of military horse supply because they
are tougher and more enduring than
other types. The life of the thor
oughbred runner independently of
casualties, in France between 1914 and
1913, was twenty-one days. The life of
the half-bred was about seventeen
days. The life Of the trotter was about
fifteen days. The ordinary cold-blood-
ed horse lasted no more than four or
five days. The trotter more nearly ap-
proaches the sO-called running thor
oughbred In quality than any other
light horse known in this or in any
other country, because the basic stock
of the trotting and pacing families was
thoroughbred. The trotting and pacing
families were founded about century
ago BY the lhoroughAed stations Mos
senGer and NIambrino, and their bottom
has been sustained from time to time
by fresh infusions of thoroughbred
blood, mainly on the G.staff side. Co.,
There are more thoroughbred run
hers and trotters available for this
work Of national defense than there
nre horses of other breeds because the
maintenance of running and harness
racing by individual enterprise, in spite
of the difficulties ill-advised and half
baked legislation in various parts of
the country impose, has served 10 make
the continued production Of thorough
bred runners and trotters profitable
TO farmers and stockmen. The farm
tractor and the automobile and the
motor truck have practically put out OF
commission the other light types which
formerly were considered serviceable
in a military sense. The only horses
farmers are breeding nowadays in con-
siderable numbers are the heavy
draueht types. because it is for these
types only that profitable market can
be found.-Advt. 'et ,..5Igng r
