Mathewson's Record.
Christy MathewsOn alone challenged
the supremacy of YOung-but the
mighty big Six fell far short Of the
record Of the veteran of bygone days.
Mathewson lasted only II years as a
twirler, during which time he scored
372 victories. His yearly winning av-
erage was % victories against II de-
feats for a mark Of .j64. In all those
II years Mathewson issued only 1T
bases on balls in 6:.5 games-a show
ing that eclipses anything ever exllib-
tied
Looking back over the records for
the three best consecutive seasons
shows that Joe Wood is the percentage
leader and that Walter Johnson and

tai trinmphs during such a period.

Helena. - Constitutionality Of the
act Of the Fifteenth legislative as
sembly in providing for the issuance
and sale Of bonds to the amount Of
$25O.OW for the erection of n terminal
elevator at Great Falls was affirmed
by the supreme court in an opinion
delivered by Associate Justice Mat
thewS. The bonds were advertised for
sale in January. this year. hut no bids
were received. The following month
f. F. Lyman brought an injunction
suit to restrain the state from further
steps in the matter on the ground that
the act was invalid.
The payment of the interest and
principal on the bonds were the points
considered. the court holding that the
provisions of the act are loosely drawn
up. but. proceeding to eliminate these
provisions which render the law uncer-
tain, finds sufficient remains to pro-
vide for meeting the obligations as
they may fall due. and therefore up
holds the law in its modified form.

BAR GELDlNGS FROM
BIG RACING STAKES
Expected to Increase Number of
Horses for Breeding.
Prooent.0ay Demand for Stations

sistent-Purchase Of Good Ami.
mails % Difficult.

The fact that geldings will he In
eligible for some Of the most valuable
racing stakes of the future, is expect
ed to increase the number of horses
for stud purposes in the United States.
While there Is strong undercurrent
against the movement to bar the geld
Ing from some turf classics. nevertle-
less the plan has the support Of many
progressive tnrfmen, who believe that
while the gelding has his sphere in
racing. he has no right to participate
in the greatest Of tests which are
given for the guidance Of the breed
ers Of the country.
The gelding Is unknown in many
foreign countries. and some years ago
when c. X. G. Billings champion trot-
ter Chlan, :5Sh, was shown in Rus
sia, the breeders Of that country were
indignant at his spoliation. and want
ed to know who had dared to deprive
future generations Of the qualities of
such a splendid horse. Stations and
mares work in the same teams the
year round in Russia. Usage has
made the males tractable. and it is
a rare thing to find vicious horse.
The present.tlay demand for stall
lions OF the type needed at the re-
mount stations Of the federal govern
ment is insistent, and members Of the
commission having in charge their So
lection are unceasing in their search
for the right type.
The fact that there has been hut
little money available for the pur-
chase Of g,vd horses has made the
task Of the commission exceedingly diff
ticult. and most Of the best horses Sc
cured to date have been gifts from
| hreede:s and turfmen in sympathy
with the movement to improve re-
mounts, and also from the Jockey
club, whose chairman, August Belmont,
gave the nucleus Of what is now the
Front Royal Stud in Virginia. Given
an appropriation such as Count Lehn-
orff of the Royal Prussian Stud had
at his disposal and the result would
he easy, as there are horses racing
every day on metropolitan courses that
would be ideal for the purpose. 1t is
related that the count. while on a Wis
it to England, saw the famous Splinter
IollypOp in action with big weight up.
Just the horse to give our German
cavalry horses more speed" was his
comment, and he straightway negoti-
ated the purchase Of the animal for
$4,000. 1t was the same spirit, back.
ed by plenty Of money, which caused
him to pay almost 100000 for the
English Derby winner Ard Patrick.
