The Three Great Ones.

Out OF the billions that have been
~ spent in improving the breed since
the American turf first was organ
lied there were developed three horses
whose names always will start the turf
followers to quarreling as to which was
the greatest. Thees are Sysonby, Man
O. War and Gallant Fox. And it is one
of those futile debates, resembling the
quarrel concerning the merits of John
L. Sullivan and Jack Dempsey.
The real old-timers will insist that
Sysonby, rated in his day as the perfect
type Of thoroughbred, was the greatest.
but then the performances of Man o.
War, the Golden Stallion" and of GAL
lant Fox, which holds the record for
purses won on the rich American turf,
were greater.
Man o. War was retired as a 4-year-
old after the strain of the race against
Sir Barton in Canada. For the sake Of
the improvement of the breed this was
fortunate, for the progeny of Man o.
War have done great things on the
track. Gallant FOX was retired after
his career as a 3-year-old, when the
impostS were being raised 50 rapidly that
he would have been carrying almost his
own weight If he had been kept in ac-
tive racing.
In the last few years the American
turf has seen some international racing
The English colt Papyrus was sent here
to race zev at Belmont Park, and little
Zey led the pride Of England's turf
home by many lengths. Then the beau
tiful French colt Epinard crossed the
Atlantic for q series Of races and did
not win one.
On this showing the American turf
has developed further in the matter of
improving the breed.

But they were breeding for stamina
as we'll as for speed in those days, for
the standard race was two miles. The
prize for the earliest races was a crown
or its equivalent in wheat. Today the
biggest stake Is the Belmont, Of 100000

After the establishment of the New
market track on Long Island the game
developed considerably in the South,
particularly in Virginia. One of the
most enthusiastic breeders and racers of
horses was George Washington. There
we're races between Northern and South
EN- horses, but there are no complete
records of these in the comparatively
brief history of the American turf.
Following the Civil War the interest
in horse racing appeared to take sud-
den boom. The first of the famous race
tracks were the Saratoga track and
Jerome Park, and there were big meet
ings in the blue grass country at Louis
vile and Lexington. Those were the

Appeared to Be Doomed.

WITHOUT betting there would be no
w particular general enthusiasm for
improving the breed of the thor
oughbred. This was indicated when the
Hughes anti-gambling law was passed in
New York by the. narrow margin of one
vote. This statute was supposed to be
lawyer proof, and for a time it seemed
that the racing game was doomed in
New York State.
But the celebrated Gaynor "golf ball
decision" paved the way for revival Of
interest in improving the breed. Judge
william j. Gaynor-later to be mayor Of
New York-in rendering decision in a
case involving the placing of bet on a
horse race, ruled that since it was no
offense to make wagers on the golf
course with friends or acquaintance for
golf balls or other considerations. it
would be legal to make oral wagers at
the race track with friends or acquaint-
ances. This started the revival of in
tereSt in improving the equines on the
New York tracks under what Is now
known as the oral system.
OStensibly, there are 10 more book
makers. There are only "oraliSts." At
any rate, there is more interest now in
improving the breed than there ever has
been.
Consider some of the developments
A generation ago the total amount of
money distributed in purses for horse
races in the United States was $5,000,-
900. Last year the racing purses totaled
more than $4,000, 900. and you will re-
call that there was supposed to be con-
siderable financial depression in 1880.
New race tracks have been springing
UP in all parts of the country, and there
is racing somewhere all the year around
with overlapping meets. Twenty-Five
years ago there were 1000 racing days
to the year, with $500 races. Today the
number has doubled. Last year there
were more than $4,000 races run in
America.

QUARTERBACK HIS
BIGGEST PROBLEM
Departed Master Didn't Hope
to Develop a Second
Carideo Quickly.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n JEW YORK, April 8 (CP.A.).
N The man who succeeds
1 Y Knute Rockne as coach at
Notre Dame will face a sit
uation which finds eight of the
regulars and six of the substitutes
who helped NOV down Southern
California out in the wide, wide
world. With the late great mas
ter at the helm, no Notre Dame
man was bothering much about
the loss of such outstanding expo
nentS OF foot ball as Carideo, Brill.
Mullins, Metzger, Kassis and Con-
ley.
Rockne always had the faculty of
dipping into a box and pulling out the
man Of the season or the man of the
nour as the case might demand. In
looking forward to the coming Fall
Knuts said that his real worry was q
quarterback. He had no expectation of
replacing Carideo at once. AS there
was quite gap between Stuhldreher
and Cartdeo, 50 inevitably will there be
a gap between the great 1880 quarter
back and the next field general Of equal
brilliancy.
The brief flash Of Charles Jaskwhich
at Los Angeles last Fall impressed many
observers with the idea that in him was
the future Carideo. Manualiy he GER
tainly gives great promise, but Rockne
saw in him certain drawbacks in the
way Of poise which he knew would have
to be eliminated. There is no doubt
that Rockne could have brought him
along in just the right way. But can
the new coach do this? If he cannot,
the difference in Jaskwhich will be that
lying between a thoroughly great
quarterback and a good one. That
Rockne was net placing his eggs In one
basket was rlade manifest by his ap-
preciative re'cren-cs to the possibilities
Of Carl Cron:n
To replace Ffertv 3-ill. Rockne had
Nick LukatS in mind. Lukats was a
basket ball ard track luminary as a
high school boy IN Indiana, but Rockne
worked on him a lot last Fall and had
him set to shine in the 1881 Notre
Dame backfield. Then Marchmont
Schwartz is Of course a back who re-
quires no further development from any
coach. Dan Hanley needs no grooming
IN the requirements of the fullback posi-
ticn and Staab should I'LL all require
ments as understudy. For other backs,
Leahy, Tobin, Branchesu, Dilling and
Banas, as well as Vehar from the fresh
man eleven, round out a most pTonis-
ing group. Host, KoSky and Mahoney
for ends and Culver, Hoffman, Kurth,
Karmody and Cousino as tackle candi-
dates all are better than ordinary,
while Pierce, Terlaak, Greeney, Harriss.
Kreuz and half dozen other huslIies
will be trying far the guard positions
left vacant By r1c. .zgcr and Kassis. Yarr
will h2 back at center and there are
ether CcSd nnFn SY2iiallie
All IN s-l. it wculd seem as though
the guard positions and quarterback will
be the problem the new coach has to
face-and, OF course, the great problem
Of co-ordinating his team.

Pitt, the Manor Club ace. Only Ever
EFT Eynon, the Columbia Club cham
pion and one Of the finest golfers about
the Capital, is one Of the few leading

Of steel-shafted iron clubs. Stevinson

curacy, but that is the only steel

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
By WALTER R. McCALLUM-

OVER ct the Washington Golf and
~ Country Club, funny things hap
pen. Because of the rolling ma
ture Of the ground and the general
contour Of the terrain, golf balls do all
sorts OF queer things which they might
not do on hatter territory.
c. T. Kingsbury told us of a funny
one which happened yesterday on the
eighteenth hole at Washington c. H
Pardoe. with whom Kingsbury was
playing, hit his second shot up on the
hillside parallel with the green, and
the ball hung up in the rough Along
came Pat Wood, one of Pardoe's op-
ponentS. and knocked his ball toward
the same spot. but instead of Woods
ball remaining up on the hill, it trickled
slowly down. As it came down, it
struck Pardoe's pill and took that ball
along with it. Down the hill they
rolled, Woods ball and Pardoe's bali.
and finally. at the end of the roll, in
stead Of Pardoe having an easy pitch
and run shot down to the green from
the hillside. he had a blind shot to a
green 10 feet above him. After a COL
loquy among the players, Pardoe re-
placed his ball in its original position.
Then there was Dore c. Gruver, one
Of the best players at Washington, who
gets so much backspin on his pitch
shots that the ball twice hit on the
putting green and rolled back into
hazards. At the fifth hole Gruver
pitched high ball with a mashie nib
lick which hit on the putting green and
then, taking the back-spin, spun back
into trap. At the eleventh hole, his
bau struck on the putting surface, took
the back-spin and ended down in the
water hazard.
THEN there was Charles r. Cherry,
l. who found himself without a
mashie as he started out to play,
and, borrowing one from Dave Thomp-
shot at the first hole, down ma" the trees
shot at the first hole near the trees
along the south side of the eighteenth
fairway, took the borrowed mashie and
nearly holed the ball for an eagle 2
from that difficult angle. The ball hit
the cup and stayed out only two inches
from the hole.
A meeting of the Executive Commit
tee Of the Women's District Golf Asso-
citation will be held tomorrow afternoon
at 3 O'Clock at the home Of Mrs. Frank
r. Keefer. president Of the association.
The initial tourney Of the women's golf
organization will be held at the Chevy
Chase Club next Monday.
the Goir committee OF the Army
Navy Club today announced series of
blind bogey sweepstakes tournaments TO
be held during April and May for the
purpose Of bringing the handicaps Of
the members Of the club up to date.
Tournaments will be held at the club on
April Is and 26 and May 8, % and 81.
Now that three or four Of the promi-
nent professionals at Washington clubs
have gone to full sets of steel-shafted
irons and abandoned the use of wood
en-shafted iron clubs, Is the same
tendency noticeable among the anna
teurs? Fred Mcleod, Sandy Armour
and Arthur B. Thorn are the pros who
now play with steel-shafted irons.
Our observation among the ranking
amateurs of the city Is that they still
stick to wooden-shafted iron clubs and

1t is perhaps typical of Rockne's sys-
tenn that his most famous product
should have been an entire back
field rather than an individual star. AS
fine back as George Gipp was, it is to
the -Four Horsemen" that foot ball fans
doubtless will refer when talk turns to
the great old days of Rockne at Notre
Dame.
THE -Four Horsemen" were a syn
i thesis of the Rockne idea of foot
ball. They had rhythm, fractional
timing and they embraced speed and
deception rather than cumbersome
power.
During their playing days none of the
-Four Horsemen" weighed over 165
pounds. But that they were heady and
knew foot ball is indicated by the fact
that each is now coaching: Harry Stuhl-
dreher at Villanova, Don Miller at Ohio
State, Jim Crowley at Michigan State
and Elmer Layden at Duquesne.
Rockne developed in each of the
backs a speciality that made them CO.
ordinate perfectly as a whole. Stuhldre-
her was the passer, Miller the broken
field runner, Crowley the blocker and
Layden the punter and line plunger.
T7HE backf1eld received its name after

BlaSco IbaneZ, dubbed them the -Four
Horsemen," the backfield became a
household word.
While Rockne realized the value of
the aura of invincibility about his
backs, he saw to it that they entertained
no deluSionS of grandeur.
He asked them to Show their clip
pings" after making blunders: he start
ed second string line before them.
And when they failed to gain he made
it very clear that the Seven Mules" UP
front led by Capt. Adam Walsh, center,
had something to do with their success.
THROUGH the -Four Horsemen"
l. Rockne was able to put over all his
ideas on what he though a back
field should be. Stuhldreher, the quar-
terback, in Rockne's opinion, made only
one mistake during his entire varsity
ccreer.
That was in his first game against
Georgia Tech. The quarterback ordered
peSs over the goal line, which re-
suited in touchback and gave the ball
to Tech on the 20-yard line.
In the huge majority OF games he
ran, Stuhldreher showed the hand Of
