for II after the war. Stallings fig-

way the story OF the offer for Gowdy,
as Boston writer tells it, has these
features:
Stnllings laughed Mt the offer for
Gowdy, despite the comment, freely
offered. that he was crazy to pass up
such ensy coin for player In the
trenches. But the Georgian, by so
doing, saved the Braves thousands and
thousands of dollars. For when the
boys come marching home Hank will
be much-worshiped hero, and he will
bring In many, many thousands Of dol
lars for the Braves. lie could be sold
today for $4,000. ...
The Braves had the opportunity last
winter to sell both Maranville. the

REVIVAL OF CANADA SPORTS
Ice Hockey, Baseball and Other Ath.
ietie Events Premise to Be
Better Than Ever.

Revival In sports such as Canada
has never witnessed Is promised dur.
Ing the ensuing year.
Ice hockey, the great national win
ter sport. is OFF with rush. Clubs
that have been dormant since the out
break Of the war IRE reorganized.
Stars who have been at the front can't
wait to get out Of khaki before get
ting on skates. And at every match
the attendance is already double that
Of war days. The outstanding change,
though, is the new atmosphere. The
tension and anxiety Is gone. the sense
of repression which made every sport.
Ing event crowd In war days solemn
and even mournful has vanished. The
real holiday spirit has returned.
There is scarcely village In the
country that will not have Its hockey
team this year; and In the cities they
are forming by the scores. There will
be more hockey this winter than ever
before.
Already baseball plans for next sum-
mer are under way. Canada hopes for
the first time to be represented In one
Of the big leagues.
Varsity sports will scarcely get un.
der way until the autumn of 1919. For
five seasons the university athletic
fields have been deserted, as the rec
ord of Canadian universities In the
war was sweeping one.

Fewer Fatalities Mark Elimina-
ton of Brutality.
All Of Victims Were "Free Lance"

Football, Americas great autumn

Virtually all of the victims were

In games conducted under college and

THE figures will continue TO de-
crease until fatalities I'm Americas
toughest outdoor game have been en-
tirely eliminated" said A. A. Stagg,
the veteran football coach at the Uni
verslty of Chicago. He added that the
greatest menace to the game Is the
lack Of proper training and proper
physical examination.
The dangers Of dozen years ago,
when the old style, smashing game in
Guided hurdling, low tackling and vi
cious offensive tactics, have been almost
entirely eliminated by the new style Of
football play, followers of the game
pointed out.

from the local rules that one can gath

OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
FOR TROROUGHBREDS
Make Good in Time Of War and
Thrive in Days Of Peace.
Lovers Of Horses May Well coneratu.
late One Another on Great Things
In store--Advance In Value
so Per Cent.

With the victory and peace following
the worlds war, lovers of horses, and
especially of the thoroughbred, may
well congratulate one another on the
great things I'm store for the American
thoroughbred, says New York Tele-
graph. In the war the horse played no
small part, for IL was cavalry raids
that routed the Turks, as well as to
drive back the Huns on the western
front. This country has been de-
pleted of horses fit for cavalry re-
mounts, and the United States govern
ment has recognized the need of the
Improvement of the breed of horses by
acquiring thoroughbred stations of the
very highest type and placing them
upon government breeding farms. In
the years to come the United States
will have higher type of horse for
every purpose.
Especially are the owners Of race
horses to be congratulated, for today
their racers have advanced In value
probably 80 per cent more over what
they may have been considered worth
n week before the end of the conflict.
The reason for this Is that the million
aire owners, who were In the sport for
the sport to be had out of 1t rather
than for profit, will now be encour-
aged to purchase most literally of the
best to be had. Recently one Canadian
millionaire paid $4,000 for three
horses. The American sold because
he expected to have his time taken
up with helping the government.
Three days after he had sold he wired
his trainer to sell no more as he would
continue racing, and that trainer re-
marked that he would gladly give
100000 to get back the three thorough.
breds he had sold for $4,000.
1t now Is assured that racing will
be resumed In Canada next season,
for the sport was only discontinued
for the duration Of the war, and may
open automatically, without any iegis.
lation whatsoever. Across the Mexican
border are two racetracks which were
closed down on account of passport
troubles. These both will be open In
another year, and because there will
be great opportunity for thoroughbreds
to earn rich purses and stakes their
value must Of necessity be advanced
with their ability to show their real
worth In racing.

Mars and take the chance that the ath-

tie for democracy In such condition
that they could hop back into base

But Stallings, w. Il. Hapgood ct al.
were just az smart as those other base
