Old Story About Snoozing.

THERE also is the story of the
American visitor who witnessed a
cricket match at Lords, and saw
everybody fast asleep, with news
papers spread over their faces, and
commented to an English friend:
II have seen your great churches
and cathedrals and they are certainly
awe-inspiring. But cricket match
at Lords beat them all for a really
reverential hush"
However that may be, here is one
sample of how American base ball
strikes London sports commentator:
The game. as a spectacle, is ruined
by pitching that is, to be quite candid,
Just too darned clever.
And while, in the States, where
extreme partisanship and organized
roofing are part and parcel Of the
game, this 'strike-out' business sends
sane men crazy and makes young
women hysterical. it just serves to
bore in this country"

Boys Club Americans Advance.
IF THE Boys Club Americans con-
tinue to advance at the rate they
have progressed in the last two years,
the unlimited championship of the
city likely will be theirs by 1899. This
team of l15-pounders which won that
championship by whipping the North

period game, is the same group that
won the 1OO-pound title last year.
Expecting to enter the 130-pound
class next Winter, the Americans have
visions of annexing their third
straight A. A. U. title. Two years
after that they should be fit for the
senior championship.
Only a champions ability to come
through In a pinch enabled the Ameri-
cans to win last night. Trailing at

came through with points in the last
two quarters, tying the score at 1928
as the game-ending whistle blew.
Shewbridge's final two-pointer in the

suddenly turned all thumbS-with

The gestures. at the moment. seem

harsh taunts, denials and challenges.

Hunter read a few choice remarks
by Gustavus Kirby, treasurer of the
American Olympic Committee, in
which Kirby was quoted as saying:
Britain played two Canadian stars
in her team on the ground that they
were born in England, and adopted
the attitude Of once an Engishman,
always an Englishman.' If they do
that, why not drag in Australians and
New Zealanders and South Africans

Af horses among the likely

v Steeplechase, to be run

Is stirring up enthusiasm wherever
racing fans gather.
There was considerable discussion
favoring a wider scope for the fandi-
capper of the big race, but nothing
came Of it. 1t was proposed that the
present minimum of lat pounds be
revised and the old standard of 1873
pounds be adopted, with the maximum
weight remaining at ITS pounds. The
argument was that under present con-
ditions it is impossible to make diff
ferences in weight among a large
number of horses at the lower end Of
the handicap, making it necessary to
bunch as many as 20 or more animals
with the minimum weight.
Qualifications to Enter.
OPPONENTS maintained that such
move might result in the old
complaint Of too many runners.
Regulations governing the entries
for the race, however, are substan-
tial safeguard against the presence Of
many bad horses in the field.
No horse can be entered which has
not been first. second or third in a
steeplechsse of 3 miles or upward.
value 81 900 to the winner, or in a
steeplechase Of any distance at Ain
tree. or has not won any steeplechase
value $500 to the winner.
1t still remains, despite these re-
strictions, as difficult as ever for a
horse to win the Grand National more
than once. No animal has accom-
plished this feat since Manifesto was
first under the wire In 1897 and 1899.
The reason for this Is perhaps best
expressed In the words of a jockey who
had National success to his credit.
when you win the Grand National
you need all the luck that Is going:
above all, you have to steer clear of
interference and avoid having your
horse being brought down through no
fault OF his own. You may enjoy this
luck once, but 1t Is odds against your
being so fortunate second time"
Two Seek to Repeat.
TN THE coming race only two horses
Dorothy Paget's Golden Miller
and Maj. Noel Furlong's Reynolds
town, winners of the 1884 and 1885
races. respectively-wili have chance
to repeat. Golden Miller indicated a
return to form with convincing win
at Newbury, while Reynoldstown gave
a brilliant display of jumping when
he won the Mapperly Steeplechase
over miles and so yards.
The American-owned Castle 1rweu
Is we'll regarded. He has shown him
self to be an ideal National" horse
as far as jumping is concerned, and
the only doubtful point is his ability
to stay Az miles. "a 'ezG>
Another American steeplechaser ex-
pected to do well is Bagatelle, sent to
England for the Grand National by
Alvin Untermeyer. The last horse
sent from America to compete in the
National was Troublemaker, which
completed the course in 1898. An
other, Billy Barton, was near to win
ming the great event in 1928. He and
Tipperary Tim arrived at the last
fence almost level-the only survivors
of 42 starters. Billy fell in jumping
this final obstacle. He was remounted
and finished second.

wick and Pasco Kiwanis clubs Tues

meeting of the year.
Mr.. Booth told of Lincoln's an
cestors and the influence he receiv-
ed in his home, his early education,
his business career and his early
entry into politics. That he step
ped from obscurity into the presi-
dency was declared entirely wrong
for he had been the most important
republican in Illinois. He was only
prevented from accepting an ap-
pointment to Oregon territory thru
the refusal of Mrs. Lincoln to con-
slider It, he said.
Music was furnished by ]. A.
