W|LDA|R WINS HANDICAP
Captures Metropolitan Over
Thunderclap and On Watch
at Belmont Park.

BELMONT PARK, N. Y. May Is
Harry Payne Whitney's three-year-old
colt Wildair yesterday afternoon at Bel
mont Park did what his illustrious sire
did seven years ago. He won the Met
ropoLtan handicap, one of the most
coveted prizes on the Metropolitan turf.
And as Whisk Broom finished SO did he
under a hard pull. He did not beat
much. for only trio of mediocre horses.
Thunderclap, On Watch and Corn Tas-
sci. opposed him. but he accomplished
his task in an impressive way and earn
ed the right to take a place among the
renowned thoroughbreds which have won
the famous stake since it was inaugu-
rated in 1891.
Despite a poor ride and hard tugging
on his reins almost all the way he passed
the Judges two lengths in front of
Thunderclap. which carried S. c. Hid
reth's colors home in second place. A
half dozen lengths farther back On
Watch. the little colt which George w.
Loft added at the last minute, stagger-
ed home in third place.
1t was a good race. but by no means
a great one. Wildair proved that he
was a good horse. but not a great one.
He did everything that was asked of
him, but 1t was the unanimous opinion OF
practical horsemen that it would have
been only a gallop for Man O. War
The track was not fast nor was 1t heavy
1t was dull and over it Wildair coursed
the mile in 1913 As.

quotes Percy Haughton, former Grim

breaches of discipline have been re-
sponsible for Harvard's defeats in GER
tain branches of sports.
Haughton's statement:
The common offense is the break
ing of training. both physical and
mental There have been serious
breaks in both these respects this
spring. especially in the latter. Near
ly every team is suffering from the
loss of men who are on probation"
Following Haughton's statement the

editorialized in this way:
The average undergraduate of the
present day is liable tc-~treat too
lightly infractions of athletic disci-
pline. The principal cause for this is
the lapse in the athletic tradition of
Harvard, caused by the hiatus of the
war. If every man in college could

POLICE NAB GAMBLERS
Drive to Eradicate Base Ball Evil
Nets Fifty-0ne in Chicago
and New York.

A concerted move against etnblers
at the major league base ball parks,
as planned last week during a con-
ference at Chicago, was started yes
terday in both New York city and
Chicago. Four arrests were made
at the Polo Grounds during the game
between the Yankees and Detroit
Tigers. and the Chicago haul netted
forty seven from the bleachers at the
Cubs park. Similar action is planned
for all other major league parks
where bets are offered or made on
base ball happenings. and even the
minor leagues have Joined in the plan
to rid the sport of the undesirable
element
Talk of action along the lines start
ed Yesterday has been frequently
heard, but it was not until last week
that the campaign was really launch
ed President John Heydler of the
National League and President b. B.
johnson of the American League de-
cided it was time to act. as reports
from various parks made it clear
that the practice was growing, de-
spite the efforts of the clubs to check
the evil. Presidents of various major
league clubs were called into confer
ence and the work now under way
will be continued until the ball parks
are free of gamblers.

Satterfield is the best college ball
player in the south. He can hit is a
good pitcher, is fast on the bases and
can go about far and get a fly
ball as anybody: he is a strong and
accurate thrower. His best work is
done as an outf1eider. Lucey and Har-
rington of c. L. are fine infielders.
perhaps the best in the section. Har-
rington seems to do everything well.
while Lucey's inability to come in
fast on a slow ball and make quick
underhand throw seems to be his only
drawback as fielder. Lucey also
would be able to hit curve balls bet
ter if he would choke his bat more
and get closer to the plate. Lucey is
the type of player who might become
a star playing the big time"
Riggs of Maryland State has
whole lot to learn about base ball,
but has much natural ability. He
worked out considerably last sum-
mer with the Nationals. and in the
hope that he would line the shortstop
around the circuit with him on the
last western trip. Kenyon of George
town is a real catcher and Murray of
North Carolina State College holds
the same distinction as a pitcher. In
fact. there is no pitcher in the south
ern colleges who has anything like as
good a curve ball as Murray. Rey
nolds of Georgetown, of course. is
stellar hurler, but he will not show
the improvement the others are GER
tain to.
One college ball player in this sec
ton who has not been given the
credit he deserves is Bobby Knode.
first baseman at Maryland State. In
the last three years of collegiate base
ball no player has shown greater
ability than he. In fact. statement

of the game with the following in
teresting letter:
"I notice your very good article
on the Pennsylvania Chicago basket

shot game is characteristic Of the

been fortunate enough to see many
basket ball teams play in both the
east and west in the last fifteen
years. and. as a result. 1 have come
to the conclusion that both the east
and west play similar games. which
vary only with the localities and
with the ideas of the individual
coaches I do not in any way wish
to reflect upon Chicago's style. be-
cause T am not so sure but that its
system of economic passing and long
shots will give them the most games
in the long run. I have seen Chicago

DU~ROC-JERSEY sow SALE

Several weeks ago a committee COM
posed of four breeders and Prof. A. II.
| Huffman Of State college, visited the
herds of Duroc-Jerseys in Brookings
county and selected sows for a breed
ers' sale. The owners of the stock
were not consulted as to their choice
but this committee said what should
be put in the sale. Thirty-one head
of sows selected from eighteen differ
ent herds and this was the Offering
presented in the sale, October %, at
the Barnett & Sons sales pavilion,
one-half mile south Of the depot.
II have had charge of details Of
some twenty-five different sales in
South Dakota, said Prof. J. w. Wilson
of State college, and | am frank to
confess that | never saw 81 many high
qualified sows from eighteen different
herds before. / consider this an ideal
way to select the stock for any com
bination breeders sale. 1t does much
TO advance the breed. 1t distributes
good blood. The breeders learn by
associating together in an enterprise
Of this nature. The prospective pur-
chaser is assured that he is making
no mistake in selecting for his founda-
ton herd or adding TO his well estab-
lished herd.
"The young ~auctioneer, Ray Barnett,
was up to his usual good form, but
was greatly handicapped because of
he small crowd of buyers" Professor
Wilson added. Seems the shortage
of money is having its influence at the
ale ring; but after talking with sew
eral of the contributors they seemed
70 be well pleased. l am told this is
to be an annual event with the breed
ers Of Duroc-Jersey swine in Brook
ings county. Now, when we consider
that part of this offering was under
one year old and that thirty-one head
from eighteen different herds brought
an average of $1,000 or about the
average price Of a fat steer, is there
any place where a man can crib his
grain to better advantage than in pure
bred livestock"

COAL OPERATORS
: ! HELP CUT PRICES
BlTUMlNoUS COAL OPERATORS
PLEDGE SUPPORT TO THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL
TO ELIMINATE UNREASONABLE PRICES
Adopt Resolution to Cooperate With
the United States Depart
ment Of Justice.

At an open meeting at Cleveland,
Ohio, of approximately one thousand
coal operators, representing 1000 soft
Goa operators in the country and
three-fourths of the total production,
a resolution was unanimously adopted
pledging their support to Attorney
General Palmer to eliminate unrea-
sonably high prices and unwise prac-
tees where such exist.
This action was taken, following
the receipt Of a message from the At
torney general requesting the bitumi-
nous coal operators of the country to
cooperate with the department of JUS
tice in bringing about elimination of
"unreasonably high prices" for coal.
The general meeting was called by
Colonel d. B. Wentz, president of the
National Coal association. The reso-
luton reads as follows:
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
bituminous coal operators of the
country refuse to ask or receive any
unreasonably high prices for bitumi-
nous coal and further that all unwise
practices in the industry where any
such exist be condemned and elimi-
mated.
