Louisville never got a game. 1t was
the biggest triumph for the Inter-

the dual series.
The Dixie series was won by
Dallas. The teams competing were

Perhaps the quality of base bali

it was in the season of 1926, and on

of the United States were very

FOALS SHOW GREAT
INCREASE IN A YEAR
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 25.-Regis-
tratien of thoroughbred foals of 1925
with the jockey club has reached the
3,500 mark, an increase of nearly 800
oyer 1925, and the highest figure in
20 years.
In making this announcement to-
day, the jockey club emphasized the
steady growth of the blood stock
breeding industry in the United
States and Canada since 1918, when
the foal registration numbered only
1740. That year marked the lowest
ebb in blood stock production in this
country, following period when
racing was outlaWed at nearly every
track In the country.
The largest years foal registration
on record is 4,al4. mark made in
1905. On the basis of present growth,
turfmen predict this mark will be
eclipsed in 1928.

Curiously enough. the great center

to q horse retired several years ago.
the great Man o. War.
When this greatest racer of all time
was sent to the stud at the height of
his career, having no more rivals to
beat, the action was regarded as an
experiment. For rarely do crack
racers reproduce themselves in such
manner as to excite special interest.
But Man o. War has done just
that. In 1924 seven of the first of his
drop won a. total of $29 1865. Next year.
with 21 descendants in training, the
total winnings were $213,S3s. This
year the winnings Of Man o. Wars
progeny attained a total of over
$3.50, ,000.
Two Sons Are Champions.
And two of his sons have won hon
ors this season as the champion two
and three-year-olds.
Crusader, of the three -yearold diVi-
sion, was easily the outstanding star
of his class. His winnings amounted
to $l41 ,5S3, which exceeded the 1925
figures of Pompey, $121.630.
Crusader was unplaced in only
out Of 13 starts, and in these de-
feats weight conditions rather than
racing form were responsible.
Among the two-year olds. Scapa
Flow, another Man o. War product
wound up the season as the biggest
winner and therefore champion of his
class. His winnings amounted tn $S1 :,
ASS. This colt won the Futurity as
did his father before him. In six
starts Scapa Flow was unplaced but
once.
The juveniles in 1926 We're on a pret
ty even level of ability. No horse
stood out as greatly superior to his
rivals and this is indicated by the
way in which the hest of them de
feated one another in various impor
tant events.
Much was thought of Sarazen. Mrs
W. II. Vanderbilt's pet. Although
Sarazen at times lived up to expecta
tions, it must be borne in mind that
this temperamental racer would racs
only when he wanted to, and when ht
didn't feel in the mood he simply
would not run. A great horse
though.

 ON kENAI FINE CRAFT

Seward residents, who are taking a few days vacation this year, should remember in planning their outing that it would be difficult to suTpass a trip down lake Kenai Recently, Wm. Lawing, of Lawing's Tourist Camp and Summer Resort, launched his fast motor boat and during the trial spins the vessel developed a speed of from 15 to IS miles an hour. And the motor is as silent as an automobile, it is stated, which will add much to the enjoyment of lake trips. The craft christened the Mid night Sun," will accommodate com fortably F people. A long distance phone call to Lawing from Seward is probably the most convenient me- thod of making quick arrangements, otherwise thru theregular mail chan nels. MT. Lawing will meet any par ty. who so desires, at the end of the Seward-Kenai highway from which point any part of the lake can be reached quite readily.

MOOSE PASS RANCHER
 MAKES VISIT SEWARD

Henry Couillard, well known ranch CT from Moose Pass, who conducts one of the finest farms in that dist rict arrived in town on the last train and while here, is having dental work done by Dr. Roberts, local dentist.
 MT. Couillard said the weather has been ideal for farming, he having planted his potatoes three weeks earlier this year than in previous years. The hottest day registered at his ranch last week reached SS degrees which helped the ground to dry out. The planting of potatoes earlier than heretofore is attributed to the light snowfall this winter turnout the district.
 When asked if he would be in for the Fourth of July, he said that he wished he could but with cows and chickens and no help available it would be impossible for him to do so. He said if he can manage a trip to Seward once a year and get some one for a few days during the time of his absence to care for his stock he is lucky.

WHEAT GOES HIGHER;
OFFERINGS LIGHTER
Firmness of Liverpool Quotations
Also Has Bullish Effect on
Grain at Chicago.

by the Associated PresS,
CHICAGO, December 20.-Wheat
prices tended upward early today, in
fiuenced by firmness of quotations at
Liverpool and by lightness of offer
ings here. Announcement that world
shipments of wheat were small as
compared with week ago was con-
etrued as a bullish factor. Opening
unchanged to Il advance, Chicago
wheat values soon averaged higher all
around. Corn, oats and provisions
were likewise firm, corn starting UNI
changed to Is better. and subsequently
scoring slight general upturn.
According to assertions by some
authorities today, the. wheat trade
has for several weeks been discount
ing Southern Hemisphere competition,
which will not be real for another six
weeks or more. Meanwhile domestic
cash wheat prices are strong on ac-
count of high quality of the United
States crop this season and because
of proximity to consuming markets.
World shipments of wheat for the
week just ended were given today as
amounting to 12,223,000 bushels,
against 1907 900 bushels for the
week previous. Aside from smallness
of general world shipments, a decrease
of 10000 bushels was shown in the
stock of wheat on ocean passage to
Great Britain.
