MAN O. WAR RANKS
WITH GREATEST In
THE WORLD, BELIEF
SO Says Famous Trainer
In Commenting on
English Action.

John E. Madden. master Of Ham
burg Place, and the leading breeder
OF Thoroughbred horses in this coun-
ny comments in an interesting and
authoritative way in the current ic-
sue OF the Thoroughbred Record as
TO why the bar sinister is raised
against Man o. War in the English
Stud Book.
II is a convincing presentation OF
the right Of the American thorough
pred to rank with the best the
world can produce in the purity and
stoutness of its blood lines.
In response to inquiries by rep
resentative OF the Thoroughbred
Record Mr.. Madden said:
The blood lines Of Man o. War
are faultless. How could they be
otherwise when he has shown him
self to be such a wonderful horse,
and although he cannot be register
ed in the English Stud Book he is
IN excellent company on the outside.
Oroy, the English Derby winner
was fortunate enough to gain ad-
mission before the bars were put
up, but Man o. War, like his sire,
Fair Play, a great race horse, and
Derby, is an outlaw. This cannot
detract from the glory of his per-
formance or the richness Of his
blood ties"
Are the blood lines OF any thor
Oughbred strictly pure?
IL answer to this, it must be re-
membered that the origin of the
English race horse was not pure
but a mixture of the various breeds
That well-knOwn English writer
'Stonehenge,' tells US the race horse
OF 1900 was obtained from a mix
ture Of Turks, Arabs and Barbs
that even the best and purest thor
Oughbreds are stained by some
slight cross with the old English OF
Spanish horse, and therefore it is
only by comparison that the word
pure is applicable to them or any
others"
Another English authority. "Ce-
Gil" wrote on the same subject as
follows:
There are several examples trace
able in the Stud Book which lead to
the conclusion that during the
earlier periods of the turf mare:
used for ordinary purposes were oc-
Casionally selected (for breeding
purpOses) in case they showed
speed and stoutness, without ref
erence to their Oriental pedigrees.'
In the pedigree Of Eclipse, the
mCst famous ancestor of the Eng
lish race horse, there are no less
than ten dams unknown. 1 do moi
believe that the pure Arab woulC
have reached the same degree oi
perfection as a race horse had hi!
blood not been mingled with that o1
older and more powerful strains
The pure Arabian strain could never
have produced such a grand race
horse as Man o. War.
IF the foundations OF the modern
race horse were laid by the mixture
Of Arab and colder blood, then the
blood of Lexington, which we know
to be pure for several generations
could not have any harmful effeCt
on that of his descendants.
AS the records have been lost
there is no proof obtainable that
Lexington was a strictly thorough
bred horse. but his deeds on the
turf and those of his descendants
are the best evidence of the BLOOD
Of his ancestors.
"A horse like Man o. War cOulC
only have been produced by the bes
blood, Ineligible as it may be to the
English Stud Book"

Human Nature, Sport and Trouble.
Proximity. as a rule, develops one
Of two mind states = affection or
hate.
Hate rarely bothers sufficiently to
travel remote distances.
The war between Amrica and Ger
many has been over only two years,
yet nothing like the bitterness re-
mains which hung over the North
and South twenty years after the
last shot had been fired.
The North and South, in the civil
war, being much more adjacent than
America and Germany, seem to have
built up a much greater hatred
There Is no battle as bitter as a
family feud.
So II Goes.
We notice how the feud between
Ohio State and Wisconsin, for ex-
ample, still develops.
The bitterness of the feud seems
to be built around these incidents:
Coach Richards, of Wisconsin, once
coached Ohio State, and DIR. Wilse,
Of Ohio State, played on Wisconsin.
So it is family feud, and, there
fore, of far greater bitterness than
California University and Harvard
could ever develop, no matter what
might happen.
Did it ever occur to you how many
of our colleges and universities are
embroiled in either bitter feuds or
remembered grievances. mainly. be-
cause they happen to be fairly close
neighbors? This list is longer than
you might think.
A Few Examples.
Down in Georgia we have Georgia
Tech and Georgia University. They
should be natural rivals and fire.
quent opponents.
But what is the situation7 Afrer
several years of trouble, of and on,
all athletic relations have been
snapped off, completely and abrupt
ly. They are about as friendly as a
Frenchman and Prussian were
around 1915.
Several reasons have been offered
for the feud, but the main one is
human nature plus too close prox-
| unity.
And then we have Auburn and
Alabama University, the two lead
| ing institutions in the State of Ala
bama.
They haven't met in a decade. The
| feeling was so infiamed at their last
two meetings that all athletic con-
nections were promptly chopped and
the old hate fingers on.

PROMOTERS SUFFER
. BY COST OF BOXERS
High Purses Of Mittmen Cause
Financial Losses in Stag
ing Of Bouts
CLEVELAND MATCHES OFF
BY LOUIS ii. JAFFE

The path of the promoter in these
days of high cost of boxers isn't always
strewn with roses. Purses as demanded
by mittmen at the present time has
been making it a hard proposition for
the impressorio to increase his family
bank role, and it is probable that the
game will suffer unless the ringmen
permit their guarantees to be reduced to
pre-war days.
Out in Cleveland, o., early in the
week, match between the bantam
champion, Joe Lynch, and Young
Montreal made the promoter dig for
more than $4,000. The gate for this
contest, virtually a championship bout,
hardly totaled $4,000, and it was big
financial blow to the promoter.
The flivving of the Lynch Montreal
match has affected boxing so in Clcve-
land that the game is almost at y stand
still now. a match between Danny
Kramer, local southpaw, and Jack Kid
Wolfe, which was scheduled for April
Il, has been cancelled, not postponed
but called off entirely.
Local fans may not have known il,
but the special show at the National
here last Monday night failed to draw
sufficient funds to cover expenses. And
that was one of the best programs ar
ranged in Philadelphia this season.
Purses for the different boxers were so
big that 1t was necessary for the pro-
moter to take in $S400 in order to break
even. Phil Glassman found himself
poorer, by 5000 the morning after the
night before.
That boxing can be termed a poor
these facts, that is, citing only one
case II the National Club had been
sold out last Monday night the total
receipts would have reached about
$1,000. In other words n speculation Of
SS40O was made in order to gain $1,000.
