MILLIONS SPENT
IN HORSE RACING
Over Two Thousand Tracks
Now Operating in the
United States.

Very few people who sit in the
grand stand at a race meeting or
fair and applaud the light harness
performers at tire finish of a closely
contested heat have any idea Of the
magnitude of racing or the millions
invested in race tracks or fair
grounds between the Canadian track
at Edmonton in the province Of AL
berta, where the horses appear in
the long summer days, and the sandy
tracks in Florida, or the perfectly
appointed grounds at Phoenix. Ariz..
where race meeting could be held
on any day during the winter
months. At the present time there
are over 1000 race tracks in the
United States and Canada, but only
about one-half of them are used
regularly for race meetings each
year.
Upon these courses and those
which preceded them, the develop
ment of the trotter and PAGER has
been in progress for over 20 years.
In that period a new breed of horses
NeNo NcNcLbiASAths MIlll6 thousands en-
joyed their spirited contests. Also
that the memories of those turf
battles never fade is evidenced by
the remarks of gray-haired men and
women, who had the pleasure Of see
ing the old-time champions over
courses that have long since become
part of the cities, near which they
were located.
The magnitude OF light harness
racing in North America may be
gathered from the fact that during
the past two years 1915 meetings
were held in the United States and
Canada. The returns for 1917 show
LOSS meetings, while in 1918 the
number fell TO $50. The reduction.
however, was not altogether caused
by the war, as many may surmise,
as while a few meetings were not
given on account of it, the actual
cause was the wet weather in Sep
TENDER when so many fairs are held,
and the epidemic of influenza, which
caused practically all of the fairs
and race meetings in the east and
south after the first of October to
be abandoned

Moreover the start of the season
is the time 10 make any changes In
clubs. for most players are reluctant
10 change their equipment durinp
the playing season and particularly
so II they do any tournament play
ing where dependable and known
clubs are at a premiem. The fact
that one dislikes 10 work under any
handicap even in a match with
friends causes most players whom
I have known to postpone a needed
change in their clubs until later
And later never comes.
During the approaching season
expect TO use eight clubs-a driver

lick, stopum and a putter, and they
are going to be just as near in
length, TO the clubs I used last year
as they can be made. The only
change that will take place in my
clubs will be that l expect to have
my irons about the same weight. In
previous years j have had quite a
difference in my irons-some light
and some heavy-but 1 believe that
this is wrong.

ANSWERS TO NIMRODS.
Ouestion-When attending the
grand American handicap last year
noticed the different positions OF
men at the trap? Also noticed some
men pointed their guns directly over
the trap house, low down, while
others pointed the muzzle of their
guns high in the air. Which is the
proper position at trap and which is
the correct method of holding a
gun?
THOMAS HENDRICKSON.
Louisville. Ky.
Answer-Take a position at the
trap, which is easy TO yourself, fav-
oring the bird or angle that seems
10 give you the most difficulty. by
turning your feet and body I'm that
directly 10 a slight degree. In my
judgment the best results are OBJ
tanned by holding just above the
trap house which enables one TO see
the target at the time Of its imme-
date start from the trap. Keep both
eyes open. locate the target as soon
as possible after its start and shoot
just as soon as you can pull your
self together for concentration.

''British Ship Adre''
Was Mix-Up in Radio
Port Chalmers Turns TO Aid the
AmmoDoosic, Said To Be
Aleak Fore and Aft

BOSTON, Oct l3.-Anxiety about
the British steamer Port Chalmers
which was reported on fire at sea Sat-
urday night was dispelled to-day when
radio message from the coast guard
cutter Acushnet said that the Port
Chalmers was not in any trouble, and
was proceeding with two other vessels
to the assistance Of the wooden steamer
Ammonoosic. The Ammonoosic, the
message said, was leaking fore and aft
and would be in danger Of sinking if
her pumps gave out. The naval COM
munications' office here ascribed the
report that the Port Chalmers was
burning to confusion of messages,
one of which said that she was sending
up rockets.
1t was believed here that the Acush-
net would keep on and endeavor to
assist the Ammonoosic, although the
exact location of the disabled vessel
was in doubt, three different positions
having been given in radio messages
that have reached the Navy Yard. The
last report said the Ammonoosc was
in latitude 39.11 north; longitude 6O.23
west. All the positions given were
said to be not more than twenty or
thirty miles from that of the Port
Chalmers.

227 American Cities
Have a Total Debt
OF $2,66l,45l,2l8,
New York Leads Them All
by Owing Nearly Three
fifths of That Sum, and
Philadelphia Is Second

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-Govern-
mental expenditures for the 227 Amer
lean cities Of more than 10000 popu-
lation for the fiscal year of 1918 ex-
ceeded revenues by S4S,6OO9S0, or 81 AZ
per capita, according to report of the
financial statistics of cities of 10000
and over by the census bureau to-day
In the report, Sam L. Rogers, di-
rector of the census, shows that only
80 of the 227 cities had excess of
revenues over their expenditures. the
excess totalling $22,323,06O, or $3.50
per capita, while for the remaining
TAT cities expenditures exceeded rev.
enues by $40 0,923,99O, or S3.4s per capita.
Among the cities in which revenues
exceeded all expenditures are New
York, st. Louis, Pittsburgh. Los An
geles, Washington, Portland and
Denver.
The net Indebtedness Of New York
City, 81 ,005,055,422, is more than three
tfths as great as the total for all
other cities Of over 10000 together,
and is more than seven times as great
as that for Philadelphia, which stands
second in this respect with a net in
debtedness of $136,183,943.
The aggregate population of the 227
cities was estimated at $34 100000 or
nearly 33 per cent OF the total popula-
ton Of the country. Ten cities were
estimated to have more than 100000

DETROIT, Oct. 13.-A resolution to
have the joint session Of the House of
Bishops and the House of Deputies of
the general convention Of the Protest.
ant Episcopal Church indorse the inter-
church world movement met with q
vigorous protest to-day from the Right
Rev. William A. Guerry. Bishop of
South Carolina.
Il cannot conscientiously indorse this
movement" said Bishop Guerry, "for
the reason that it aims at federation
of the evangelical churches. The ulti-
mate aim Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church is unity, not federation"
Reasons for Opposition
The resolution was referred to the
proper committee. Bishop Guerry sup
plemented his protest by formal
statement in which ne said:
II stated that l could not vote for
the recommendation because, In the
/ first place, from the official literature
which had examined, one Of the
avowed objects Of this interchurch
movement was to make it nation
wide campaign tor the spread of
Professionalism. That was my first OBJ
lection.
Second, they held up an ideal of
unity which fell far short of the great
reality for which our Lord prayed on
the eve Of his crucinxion.
II would have no objection TO taking
part In any movement for confedera-
tion and cooperation II it were def
initely understood that the ultimate
aim was visible unity; but II 1t was
INTENDED in any way as compromise
of great ideal as g substitute for
what our Lord prayed for and what
was fulfilled in the early apostolic
church ! would not take part in it.
Further, it was proposed that we
unite with them In q joint drive for
funds. l-saw in this serious complica-
tions which might arise later"
The recommendation for the indorse-
mcnt Of the inter-church world move
ment was made by Bishop A. S. Lloyd,
president of the Board of Missions,
in announcing the budget for the new
year. Bishop Lloyd also indorsed the
nationwide campaign Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church.
The Endorsement Of the inter- church
world movement as proposed contained
the proviso that it was to be under
stood that the Episcopal Church, by
cooperating, was not committed in mat
ters of ecclesiastical polity."
Echo of Kinsman Case
After routine business to-day reso-
luton was introduced in which many
heard an echo OF the Bishop Kinsman
case. 1t was the first time there had
been any suggestion Of the issues in
the Kinsman resignation since the
opening Of the convention. The resig-
nation of the Delaware prelate will be
discussed in executive session by a
special committee of the House Of
Bishops, and 1t is expected that moth
ing will be made public on the case
until the formal deposition, which Is
inevitable under the resignation, takes
place.
The resolution was introduced by DR..
Eckel, of Kansas. 1t asked for clear
statement of the position and princi-
