New York, Dec. 6.-There was every
reason for the youngster to get excited
Forty thousand spectators in the
Princeton stadium were beseeching the
Tigers in vocal din to increase their
z to lead over the threatening Har-
ward eleven.
Over a score of substitutes, huddled
in blankets on the Tiger bench, were
looking in the direction Of Coach Sill
Roper, watching for his lips to frame
the words that would send one of them
in for an eleventh hour cha ice at
glory.
Jack Strubin% quarterback and one
or the main cogs IN the New Jersey
machine. had been carried from the
field in the last quarter The team was
sadly off balance without him. they
were tagged and going dead on their
feet after SO minutes terrific fighting.
The Crimson was being pushed back
steadily but the Tigers needed new
blood TO prime them for the figh. tina I

backed against her own goal.

stride up and down in front of the

Shaking not so much from the cold s
from the nervousness of his first big
moment, Murrey hardly waited for the
last word of the coach's instructions.
He dashed out on the field and COM

Golf is an old mans game If only
the number of old and young men
playing the game is taken into con-
sideration. Viewed from the other
angle, of the difference in the golf and
the number OF matches ana cham
pion ships won, II is decidedly sport
for the young, contrary to the conten-
ton OF the sports opponents.
OF the 1875 players who entered the
district tournament at the Detroit
Golf club probably more than so per
cent of them We're more than 40 years
old, well past that mark, too.
Yet when the reckoning came for the
match play, out of the Is in the cham
pionship fight IA were under 40 years,
all but one or two of them in the
twenties.
And 7. Worden Hunter, who won
the championship. is only 22 years
old, one of the youngest, If not the
youngest. to enter the tournament
Youth must be served.
Coghill. Australian heavy champ,
who was stopped by Fulton in London,
has an excuse Tor his defeat. A Brit
ish critic says
while one must admire the truly
sporting spirit of Coghill which in
daced him to come forward to give
Fulton a match, one must deprecate
the practice of any one who is not
perfectly sound physically engaging in
a serious contest.
NO doubt most of those who saw
Coghill in tn. ring thought what
fine figure of man he looked--which
he certainly did. But | wonder how
many were aware of the fact that Cog
hill was lighting with jaw which
had been shattered in war and which
by marvellous surgical skill was mend
ed and made to perform its functions
by the aid of springs.
"This must have rendered him cas-
lily susceptible to a Knockout The
fact must not be lost sight OF that
had ANYTHING serious happened as
result OF this knockout Fulton would
have been apprehended and held re-
sponsible for this. And we must
guard against any possibility Il such
happenings with all our energy. 9TH
erwise the game will soon get into bad
odor."

Considerable has been said of late
in regard to the breeder of light har-
ness horses being given a more prom
inent part in racing affairs and as
such become factor in molding the
rules OF racing as well as planning
race programs for the leading meetings
This cooperation between the track
manager, horse owner and the breeder
has always existed, although the ma
Jority OF the last named have not been
very active in race track management
during the past twenty years.
There is but little in common be-
tween planning and delivering a race
meeting or fair and breeding or devel-
oping race horse. In the business
world they cover almost the same
ground as the retailer and manufac-
turer. The breeders produce the rae
ing material while the racing or fair
associations provide a place where IL
can be displayed and raced, while in
addition to that the latter must plan
their affairs so that the race meeting
can be conducted at a profit in order
to pay the premiums as We'll as current
expenses.
HAMLiN IN BOTH FIELDS
c. J. Hamlin was the only large
breeder OF trotters that was active as
track owner and promoter of race
meetings. He was the leader in Buff
falo for years and never failed to make
Doth ends meet. Up to about 20 years
ago almost all of the leading. breeders
of trotters developed and raced a num-
Der OF horses. Fairlawn and Wood
burn farms in Kentucky being the only
prominent exceptions. Leland STAN
ford and William Corbett both made
an active market for the products of
their California farms by displaying
them on the eastern tracks just as
Stoughton Fletcher is doing with the
Peter the Greats from Laurel Hall to-
day. They showed what few win
ners will do to boost the product of a
stock farm.
At the present time il is the excep-
tion to find breeder very active in
building or equipping race tracks or
fair grounds. That is left to individ-
uals, town or county enterprise, and
when completed those who were re-
sponsible for their existence select the
officers to manage them like any other
venture requiring large expenditure
of capital.
BREEDERS ONCE PROMOTERS
There was however, day when the
breeders were promoters of race meet
mss II was SldTteu Dy the National
Association of Trotting Horse Breed
ers in the 70s. In addition to giving
series of colt races this organization
had for about 10 years a shadowy con-
troll over Wallace's American Trotting
Register. 1t faded in the latter part
OF the sos and was revived for few
days in 1891 to give a semblance of
authority when the Wallace pubiica-
tons were taken over by the American
Trotting Register association.
In the interval there were also a
number of state breeders associations
the list including New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin. All of them gave meetings, few
of their events being limited to the
state or membership. In addition to
these there were three splendid organ
1zations known as the New England
Trotting Horse Breeders association,
the Northwestern Breeders association
and the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse
breeders association. The last named
