"The public in enthusing over the

know what a great Improvement has
been made in the race tracks.
"Why, the old tracks were like
plowed fields in comparison with those
Of today.
"Contending against such condi-
tions, the wonder horses of the past
displayed phenomenal stamina and
speed.

mile, went the next quarter in % Sec

SILENCE APPRECIATED

Newcomers to the game or
golf should be Informed that 1t
isn't advisable to make audible
remarks about players. When
you see player miss the ball
or drive it into the woods, or
course there are numerous run
ny remarks which may be made
about the proceeding, but 1t Is
not always display Of wisdom
to do it. Once upon a time,
when a player missed the ball
on the tee spectator called at
tentiOn to the fact. After the
spectator got out Of the hospl-
tai he spent most of his time
advising against the practice,
until now it has gone out of
fashion.

GAME MUCH LESS SCIENTIFIC
Baseball Consists Largely Of Batter
Seeking the Too Sensitive Ball
to All Parts.

Is the world advancing? Baseball
isn't. The game Is more popular than
ten years ago, but not as scientific. 1t
is as scientific tactically, but not in
a mechanical way. 1t consists largely
of the batter socklng the too sensi-
tive ball and of vicissitudes for the
Helders in trying to stop 1t.
