Improving Paddock and
Track at Belmont Park

Taking advantage of the fine weather
this fall Superintendent Pels of the
Westchester Racing Association has
carried to completion the resurfacing OF
the main track at Belmont Park and
has we'll under way other improvements
planned by the management.
That splendid job has been done on
the course is apparent at glance and
such experienced trainers as Thomas
Welsh and A. J. Joyner pronounce It
In perfect condition. No expense was
spared in securing the result which
earned this tribute from these well
known horsemen. Mr. PeIs first scraped
the course till the surface was as level
as billiard table The soil which was
removed he thoroughly screened, re-
moving all stones and grit. This
screened soil was Incorporated with top
soil secured on the property, which has
been treated In like manner. The new
soil was sandy loam. An amalgam
Of these soils was made and the footing
Is now light and. resilient with cushion
that breaks the jar and viii keep horses
going soundly in their work.
Within the next few weeks Mr.. Pels
will cover the track with manure for
the winter. This will not only stop
soil blowing. but when thoroughly rot
ten and amalgamated with the soil win
give the course life that will add much
to the safety OF training operations and
be "a contributing influence In the cstab-
fishing of fast records. A portion of
the track was treated this. way last
winter and Il narrowed like an ash
loAp in. the spring. With an abundance
of long straw manure available the
management determined TO continue the
treatment this fall

GROWTH OF RACING
REYIYES BREEDING
Registration Of Thoroughbred
Foals Has Increased 400
in Two Years.
BY G. j. FITZ GERALD.

With the registrations of thorough
bred foals for the current year virtually
completed there is chance to estimate
the growth of the bloodstock industry
in the United States; and at 2 same
time present a few facts foi ne con-
sideration of those who have in the past
contributed to conditions that made the
perpetuation of this useful type pos
sible.
The conclusion after scanning the fig
evitabe that it takes long time to re-
build an institution which has been $50
ruthlessly assailed as was racing in the
period from 1908 to 1912. When
thoroughbred breeding was at its height
the registration of foals for the season
of 1906-7 numbered 4,400 and they
came from practically every State in
the Union. the Dominion of Canada,
Mexico, Cuba and the Hawaiian Islands.
Kentucky and California were the
chief contributors. There were indi-
vidual studs which boasted of hundreds
of mares while one--the Rancho del
than 1,200 inmates. This was un-
doubtedly the largest institution of It's
kind In the world
The war of aggression waged in this
State by the reformers, which resulted
i'm the passage of the Agnew-Hart law,
closed the courses operating under the
Jurisdiction of the Jockey Club. 1t was
practically confscatory in it's provision,
as far as tho racing associations We're
concerned. II also beggared many men
and women engaged in the breeding of
bloodstock because it made all but ex-
ceptional thoroughbreds of the same
value as the ordinary cold blooded
horse. Racing properties maintained at
a great expense, whose owners were
committed to the fulfilling of stake OBJ
legations, were confronted with a con-
dition which depleted treasures and in
one instance led to bankruptcy.
The suffering endured In the period
between 1909 and 1912 Will never be
forgotten. Studs were decimated. Aus
tralia, the Argentine. France and Ger
many were the beneficiaries of the
policy, which drove from the United
States that element which had been
welcomed by our people $50 years be-
fore, and which had leavened the lump,
quickening the whole and bringing into
being a type unique to America in the
shape of the standard bred trotter
The loss to American breeding In
terests can best be told by the statement
that thoroughbred registrations for 1919
totalled only LAO. decrease of 1850.
The slowness with which confidence in
the future of racing has been won is
indicated in the figures for the current
year. for which 1895 foals have been
enrolled. This is an even 100 more than
in 1921. which In turn was 30i In ad-
vance Of 1920.
The maner in which progress has been
made may best be told by giving the
figures for the entire period between
1918. when racing was resumed in this
state. and the present time. The table
appended was furnished by Registrar
Andrew Herkert of the Jockey Club:

English and French Teams
Invited for Indoor Polo
National Championships to Be
Held Here in March.

The season of the rapidly growing
snort Of indoor polo Is about to start
under the auspices Of the Indoor Polo
Association The handicap committee
and the executive committee have held
their first meetings Of the season and
have prepared for an exceedingly active
season.
Following is the present list of MEM
her clubs: The riding Club. the Riding
and Driving Club of Brooklyn. the New
York Riding Club. Squadron A. the New
Jersey Cavalry. Polo Association (Essex
Troop), the 1O1st Cavalry of New York
West Point. the First City Troop Of
PHILADELPHIA, the Second City Troop Of
philadelphia. Yale University, Princeton
University, Norwich University. the
University of Pennsylvania. the Vir-
ginia Military Institute and the Durland
Polo Club.
The handicap committee has assigned
handicaps to several hundred men. The
executive committee has selected the two
weeks beginning with the first Saturday
in March for the nationaland intercol-
Ieriate championship tournaments, which
will be held in one of the larger armories
of New York city In these events IL il
expected that there will be about thirty
teams competing as against twenty-four
last March. Players In events this year
will be divided into Class A, Glass u
and Class c instead of being designated
seniors. juniors and rockies as In the
past. N
In connection with the big March
event a most interesting feature Is hoped
for. Negotiations are under way to
have a team from England and one from
France come over and compete In this
tournament The secretary OF this asso-
citation has been In France this fall and
reports that indoor polo Is firmly estab-
1ished In that country. Thus the tourna-
ment OF 1923 may assume an interna-
tional aspect for the first time.
A National Guard tournament will be
held, probably in ono OF the Brooklyn
armories, and there Will also be an inn
portant tournament In February In

-ORGEI Tor moment tne
charges and countercharges
q hurled about by Miners and
Mine Owners. Let's get to the
bottom of the situation.
The coal situation can be repre-
scnted by three shi pwrecked men
on a raft, parched and starving,
all ready to eat each other. The
three men are the Mine Owner,
the Miner, the Public.
AT this moment the husky
Miner and the well-trained Mine
Owner have sunk their teeth into
each others flesh. They have
done it before. Tough chewing.
Soon-as always before-they are
going to notice the fat and juicy
Public, not husky nor we'll
trained. And then Mine Owner
and Miner will turn and gobble
the juicy morsel. Just as before.
Now, the Public doesn't particu-
larly enjoy being portioned out.
He will holler as he always does.
But he will, as usual, be hollering
about the wrong thing. He will
denounce the sclfishness and
brutality of Miner and Mine Own
cr, or both. But, in Heaven s
name, what do you expect of men
starving on a raft!
The trouble is that they are on
q raft. 1t is not a modern means
Of transportation. Rescue these
three people from the raft, put
them on n modern liner, and the
problem is solved. They will all
be fed. They will be polite and
courteous gentlemen one to an
other. And on the liner they
will get somewhere instead of
drifting aimlessly around the sea
practicing cannibalism.
There's a liner in the offing.
If the Public will wave his shirt
he can call the steamer and save
the whole group.
In other words, stop calling
names and force reorganization
Of the coal industry to give regu-
lar employment to the men, pre-
won't the over development of
mines. stabilize prices to the coal
consumer.
Let's get off the raft.

week celebrating a third ol
a century of existence.
In Washington, practically the
entire city has united in cOngrat-
ulations to Manager Roland Rob
bins and to the Keith manage
ment in general.
Vaudeville is justified in cele,
hrating, and Washington is JUST
fed in entering into the celebra,
ton of this worthy institution
The local playhouse, under courte-
Gus and capable management has
been more than a mere theater
to this city-it has been, for sew
eral years, a public institution
When the United States entered
the war, Manager Robbins quietly
turned over his house, whenever
the occasion demanded, as a
meeting place for promotion of
anything that would help in the
prosecution of the war.
Throughout the Liberty Loan
campaign, the Keith management
worked and sacrificed increasingly
to sell bonds, and was no small
factor in placing Washington at
the head Of the list of bond-buy-
ing communities.
Times without number the use
of the Keith theater has been don
ated to civic and religious organ
izations of Washington for noon
day meetings.
And Keith's has received the
appreciation of grateful COM
munity. The remarkable success
of this theater is testimonial
not only to the high quality of
productions presented, but to the
good will Washington bears the
manager and his business.

Poor, Sick
Old Europe
AFR. MORTIMER l.. SCHlFF,
N the New York banker, just

Il
returning from Europe,
says that America must help
Europe sooner or later in order
to help herself.
We quite agree with Mr.. Schitf
that America must help Europe
sooner OF later in order to help
herself, because all the nations
are interdependent.
But there are ways of trying
to help Europe which will neither
help her nor help us. A sick man
doesn't always want what is good
for him. Europe is sick, and Eu-
rope wants things from America
that Are not good for her. Some
times it is very good for an ex-
travagant person to be obliged to
pay his bills and the interest on
his loans. 1t is also very good
for a country which owes a lot of
money to compel it to pay its bills
when it is going swashbuckling
around Europe rattling a sword
and looking for trouble.
What we want to do is to help
the nations of Europe when they
face in the right direction; so that
they can go whittier lie advan-
tages to themselves and to us.
Until the nations which owe us
money can reach a state of mental
poise and the sense of the fitness
of things which prohibits them
from acting like peeved and out
ragged children when they see
Germany and Russia make a
treaty of peace and agree to trade
with each other, when we see our
debtors in Europe cease to waste
their resources by unnecessary
ornaments, when we believe that
they recognize their need to go to
work and to be prepared to wei
come with pleasure every agree
ment of nations which puts peace
and friendship above war-then
we can talk about helping our
debtors.
We want to give our debtors
the power to trade with us, to buy
our things and to produce things
which we want to buy, and thus
to pay us their debts.
We want to help Europe to help
herself along the lines of our
common interest in a world of or
der and constructive activity.

that all the work in connection with the cars

A Common Need.

THE word that Cardinal O'Con,
nell brings from across the
q water is a pithy consensus OF
many observations:
Either Europe will join all
her forces and put aside hatred
and distrust or Europe for a
generation will sit amid ruins.
Yet this is large. order. Even
here in spacious America, tradi-
tionally the land of the free and
dedicated to equality Of rights
and opportunities, hatred and dis,
trust are rife and ruinous.
What else but they are causing
wasteful strikes, curtailing bust,
ness, .diverting human energy
from common creative effort to
class prejudice and poisoning
many souls with envy and un-
charitableness7
Europe surely needs great
baptism by the spirit of brother
hood, but in that need Europe
is not unique.
