"Must Have Road"
"We must have the road" was the
announcement of Supervisor Beal Of
the Brawley district. He said that
Imperial valley has already spent
$4,000 on its end of the road and
would invest at least $4,000 more.
More than $1,000 subscribed by I'M
perial valley citizens and organiza-
tions during the meeting was spoken
of by the Brawley supervisor as "a
small token Of appreciation of what
San Diego county did for Imperial
road" That $1,000 was subscribed
by the Imperial county people for
work to be done on the San Diego
county portion of the road.
The president of the San Diego
chamber of commerce, the Oceanside
board of trade, the northern San
Diego county chamber of commerce
and the Fallbrook chamber of COM
merce indorsed the project and
pledged their aid in the securing of
funds to have the road ready for
travel by July 1, 1920.
Supervisor Beal said that $4,000
citizens of Imperial valley will use

as a consequence and the value of the

as against the $4,000 of Potomac S

Saturdays event will total $4,000, so
that material progress has been made
in a twelvemonth- With the turf enter
ing upon new era of prosperity still
further improvement may confidently be
expected until the high tide of 1890 is
once more reached.
Fortune has been exceedingly kind to
the Keene and Whitney stables in the

won the prize, though on q number of
occa sions his colors have been in second
place at the finish, borne by Lady Vio-
let, Brigadier and Lord OF the Vale.
Campfire Won in 1916.
The experience of Richard T. Wilson
should put heart into every breeder in
the land. Mr.. Wilson secured Campfire
through the union of the young and
untrled sire Olambala and the young
mare Nightfall. 1t was the mares first
foal and as Olambala had not sired a
winner prior to Jan. /. 1914, Campfire
gained an allowance of five pounds and
carried 1876 pounds instead of 1870, which
would have been his burden had he
come from a family Of producers as was
the case of His Highness and Domino
both Of which won with the maximum
tmpost in the saddle. The fact that
both the sire and dam of His High.
ness were past the twepty-year mark
when he was sired is interesting.
AS an added fascination to the breed
ing problem which delights the student Of
the turf at every turn it may be re.
corded that Ornus, the grandsire OF
Campfire, was an outcast from the Nor
ris stable-sold to a negro for 500 and
raced by him at New Orleans more thar
twenty years ago. He was a lopearet
chestnut horse, bought in England as ,
yearling, and failing to stand the drill
ing of that most severe of taskmaster;
Wyndham Walden, passed into the dis
card.
When brought to New Orleans he wal
a hopeless cripple, but one day wher
the track was fetlock deep in mud III

off the course and was forgotten unit

LYCETT Is PRAISED
BY BRITISH CRITIC
Australian Tennis Player Is
Picked Out Above BrOOkes
and Patterson.

Charles Heirons, lawn tennis profess
sional at the Queens Club, in criticising
the play of the Australians in England
picked out Lycett and A e. Jones as
the most impressive, which impression
is In accordance with the Australian
form OF them all.
or Lycett he says: His doubles form
was really splendid, and he reminded
me very much of II. L. Doherty by his
brilliance overhead. The smash from
near the back Of the court, always beau
tifully timed, and sent at great pace
with perfect angular placing, seemed
like Doherty over again. And also like
Doherty he does not risk too much with
his service. What a pair he and A B,
Jones would make with the latter's per-
fectly timed ground strokes.
"As for Jones, his game is modelled
so admirably that it should be taken az
a pattern by all young players. Indeed,
II appears to me that ii is Just the
game a professional coach would seek to
apply TO all his pupils. II shows a gu
preme knowledge of the technique OF
lawn tennis and stroke production"
This criticism is refreshing in these
days when self-styled critics seem tC
think that the beginning and end of all
play is a spectacular service.
OF Patterson he speaks well, and save
that he is bound to go to the top very
rapidly How rapidly he did not guess
Thomas no styles "a very pretty player
whose grip is correct but his service
could be stronger. expect him to show
much better form than he did on the
covered courts"
AS a doubles player on Australian
form Lycett is the best of the lot; but
Of course one has to reconsider ancient
form in the light of recent performances
allowing for each players partner also
Thomas and Wood are the first
purely Australian pair to hold a dou
bles championship of all England
Brookes did so with Wilding in 1907 ant
1914, ther> latter hailing from New
Zealand. P.TO'Hara Wood is a Mel
bournian. r. V. Thomas comes from

ployed TO make the trip. which even by
train took an hour and half or more.
Conc are the potato fields and mead
ows of F1atlands and Greenfield, but
the memory of the days are fragrant
with the oldtimers.
The first Futurity was won by Sam
Bryant's white faced gelding Proctor
Knott, which had cost the tall Kentuck-
ian but a few hundred dollars. The big
chestnut was ridden by a dminutive
negro named Pike Barnes and defeated
by a neck Salvador, the pride of the
copper king, ]. B. Haggin.
Always Rich In Interest.
Thus at the very outset the event was
fraught with interest. For an outlay of
r. few hundred dollars an unsexed son
Of Luke Blackburn had brought his
owner a competency FOR life. There was
a rush to make nominations for future
runnings. From the $4,000 of Proctor
Knott the race grew to $4,000 in 1890,
when the Belmont pair Potomac and
Masher homebreds from the famous
Nursery Stud, finished first and second.
1t was fitting close to the racing career
of the great man whose personality was
one of the strongest elements in the
government OF the turf Of that period.
With Mr.. Belmont's death came the
dispersal of his stud, and His Highness.
by The I'll Used out of imported Prin-
cess by King Tom, fell TO the bid of
David Gideon for $4,000. This colt won
the Futurity of 1891, which was worth
$4,000. The following season, 1892
Morello, which had been sold as q
yearling for 800, was the victor, and
the breeders of the country, realizing
that there is no patent right on speed
launched out still more boldly and the
race became of international import.

No race that is contested by thorough
breds in the United States possesses
1.-THE of the sentiment which attaches to
the Futurity. 1t has done more to per-
petuate the blooded horse than any other
event ever offered. Designed on the
broadcast and most liberal lines by the
Coney Island Jockey Club in 1885, 1t
was a success from its inception, the
original running in 1888 bringing out a
field of fourteen starters, with a value
of the prize reaching the then unheard
of total Of 5000.
James G. X. Lawrence, the secretary
OF the organization. who was keen
student OF racing and natural horse
man to boot, was responsible for the
race There were predictions of failure
when the initial appeal was made to the
breeders of the country, 1t being a new
idea to nominate the produce OF mares
instead of the Individual.
There were so many saving clauses in
the conditions, however, that the race
won instant favor, and the response was
as spontaneous from the owner of a
single mare as from the millionaire with
hundreds of Inatrons in his blue grass
paddocks In Kentucky or the alfalfa
fields Of California Mr.. Lawrence made
II a condition that no fee should be paid
In case a foal was born dead, nor was
there an obligation II a mare dropped
twins or was barren. Special weight
allowances were conceded to the produce
OF untried slres and danes or those that
had failed TO produce winners
In addition there was a cash bonus
to the nominators of the htst three, the
total of s1,260 being divided into three
premiums OF $1,000, $500 and $3.50 re-
spectlvely. The permission to transfer
an entry was a still further appeal and

Old Questions Revived.

Our old friend the question of stand

accompanied by it's full brother, the
fate of the stymie. These two prob

for the world of golf. limitations have
reached this country from sources which
we consider reliable that there will be
a midway station taken in regard to
the stymie-namely, that If person
lays himself a stymie after both balls
are on the putting green he will be
forced to play It, This after all has
more than a modicum of merit in the
solution and will be acceptable we
fancy to our Western friends who have
done away with it altogether.
If an attempt is seriously made to
standardize the ball for everybody tAore
will be out and out failure. The opin-

Who was to blame? How shall such
action in the future be avoided If sum-

Firstly, from a strict golfing stand
point Sherwood ought to have taken
notice of the tiYe spent in hunting. and
if he had he Would undoubtedly have
cheerfully forfeited the hole and put
it down to the run of i'll luck or bad
caddy. Hammers duty was to see that
no more than five minutes was given tc
the hunting for the ball. but neither he
nor any other golfer would ever init
mate that the time was up.
That is one place where the rules
