NEW YORK, Dec. l6.-Down
through the years sage old John B.
Campbell has kept his own counsel
and with wary eye watched the
royalty of the Nations thorough
breds come to the racing wars.
It's detached, though painstak-
ing and expert, interest that he
has, and so it must be-for he is
official Handicapped for the Jockey
Club. Thus he juggles the weights
for the handicaps run at all five
Of the New York tracks, and that
is a ticklish job, to say the least,
with plenty Of cash depending upon
what he says
This summer smart old Col. Ed
ward Riley Bradley had a 2-year-
old son of Black Toney La Troienne
to sport his green and white silks,
the last son of that fine stallion,
in fact.
Six times he went postward, and
six times he was led into the win
ner's circle. that delight of all own
ers. Almost an invalid now, the old
colonel perked up day after day
through the tonic of this strangely
named colts winning ways.
Bimelech Should Garry 13O.
Jack Campbell has been making
up his experimental handicap-a
ranking for race that never is run
for only five years now, but he
has watched the colts and fillies
come and 60 for many more sea-
sons than that.
In none of the five years has he
laid eyes on a juvenile which he
thought the equal of Bimelech. Al
ways before the colt dts never been
a filly yeti packed 126 pounds. Now
he says Bimelech should be weighted
at 100. a tribute which won't 20
unnoticed by knowing horsemen and
the sharp gentry who quote win
ter book prices on the Kentucky
Derby.
His best juvenile hasn't ever been
the best 3-year-old, but that might
be expected. He merely is putting
down in cold figures what he has
seen the colts and fillies do in their
2-year -old form.
Back in 1885 he had Red Rain,
the great disappointer, up there in
first place, and Granville and Bold
Venture came along afterward to
garner the honors with Red Rain
kicking up dust somewhere down the
stretch.
Many Fail IS 3-Year-Olds.
The next year it was Brooklyn,
another B-branded horse. War Ad-
miral was well down. He hadn't
been too good as a juvenile. if you
remember, but nothing caught up
with him in the Derby, Preakness
and Belmont. Brooklyn went wrong.
A futurity winner, Menow, was
top dog in 1887, and this crop of q
year-olds went on next year to a
tumble Of winners so bad nobody
could say who was best. Lawrin
captured the Derby, Dauber splashed
through mud to win the Preakness

Pellet for Journeys
Is Almost Certain
To Be Specified
long-Distonee Hitting
Making Golf Courses
Obsolete, He Says
By WALTER McCALLUM.

A tall, baldish, serious-faced man
with a lot of energy and lengthy
background in golf is getting a
headache ready for the big slug
gers of the links game.
Harold w. Pierce, the Boston
financier who will be chosen presi-
dent of the United States Golf AS
sociation on January 6, long has
viewed with alarm the growing ten
dency of golf ball manufacturers
to put more distance into the pellet.
And after a term as chairman of
the Championship Committee
where he had front line experience
watching the stars of the game zoom
golf balls into the dim distance, he
plans to do something about it.
There may be something to ru-
more that the United States Golf
Association is going to prescribe the
an official ball, which all players in
the championship Journeys staged
by the U. S. G.. A. will be required
to use. Gene Sarazen dropped the
hint few days back, and now it
seems the thing may come about.
But how will it be made? That is
the big question.
Easy to Make Change.
Will the U. S. G. A. 60 back to
the silly balloon ball of 1881, or
retain the present outside specifica-
tions and cut down the length of
the ball by requiring manufacturers
to use only a specified tension on
the rubber winding over the core?
A golf ball can be given more
"umph" simply by increasing the
tension on the rubber string which
is wound over the core and under
the cover. The present ball weighs
1852 ounces and is 1852 inches in
diameter.
Long hitting now Is overempha-
Sized" Pierce said, in an inter-
view. Il don't see that a fellow
proves anything by being able, say,
to hit 4-iron shot 225 yards. Id
prefer to see him use a spoon for
that shot. That was the original
Idea of the game.
Meanwhile, our golf courses are
becoming obsolete. The boys can hit

taking the Belmont stakes, while
Nedayr did the same in the Ar
lington classic.
Undefeated Ell Chico had the spot
cinched last year, and what a flop
this ill-fated colt was in 1899. They
said he was just sprinter when he
was out there in front winging as a
juvenile, and perhaps they were
right. Anyhow, first hoof and then
a leg went bad this season. Not
long ago it was necessary to destroy
him at Santa Anita after a training
accident. Johnstown and Challedon
Of course, divided the honors this
year.
Bible Provides Name.
Now We come to the colt with a
Biblical name-the best, and as we
said last, of Black Toney's sons. You
won't find that name in the die
tionary or the encyclopedia either
There isn't anything in his pedi-
gree to give hint
But in the Bible there is an
Abimelech, son of Gideon king of
Schechem. The name Of Bradley
color-bearer must begin with B. Of
ten the grim old colonel will name
colt or filly for an old friend or
associate. This time it was a COM
bination of these methods.
John Harris. octogenarian broker
from down in Wall Street, is one OF
his closest and Oldest friends. They
were reminiscing one evening about
boyhood days, and Bradley found
out that his comrade, as a lad OF
S, had been called Abimelech by an
uncle, who obviously was a student
Of bibliology.
1t got so young John Harris liked
it, too. The tag stuck and even now
old friends and members of his
family call him that.
Colonel Confident Of Colt.
Sometimes veteran horseman
just feels in his bones that he has
good colt. and this foal of Black
Toney and La Troienne was a
splendid individual. He was sound
and of fine conformation, we'll
muscled and bred for distance as
much as speed.
Col. Bradley made his decision
He would name the colt for Morris
But how and still maintain the B.
branded tradition? Then he hit
upon it. Phonetics was the way
for didn't John Morris in referring
to himself say "Bimelech." The A
was silent.
The turf's richest race for juve-
niles is Belmont's Futurity. and 50
on that warm summer day this year
the two old cronies were there to see
Bimelech run, Col. Bradley with q
nurse by his side because for
months he had been confined to his
hotel room, fretting at the con-
finement. Several times they
wouldn't even let him see Bimelech
60 to the post.
1t was small but select field that
came out for the Futurity. Bimelech
and the colt that won't run straight,
Andy K. had scared out many an
owner. Then far down the Widener

Sweeping Tide Make,
Fast Time Scoring
Al Fair Grounds
Sets 6-FurIone Record
For Meet in Beotine
Proirie Dog, Choice

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 16.-Sweep-
ing Tide, greatly improved 4-year-
old colt owned by j. c. Ellis Of
Owensboro, KY, showed a clean
pair of heels to band of sprinters
IN the Garnet Handicap, 6-furlong
dash that topped an excellent pro-
gram at the Fair Grounds today.
Alertly and well handled by Appren-
tice Arnold Sorsen, Sweeping Tide
set terrific pace in the race, shook
of early rivals and drew out to win
by three lengths over the favorite,
Prairie Dog, which is owned by Mrs.
Emil Denemark. w. F. Mannagh's S
Carnarvon, was third, a couple OF
lengths behind Prairie Dog.
Sweeping Tide, carrying 104
pounds, reeled of the furlongs in
1:11.8-the fastest time of the meet
ing for the distance. He paid
1920.
Sorsen got the son of Sweep On
away from the barrier like an ar
row and Sweeping Tide quickly put
plenty of daylight between himself
and his pursuers. Nor did he ever
lose any ground, holding a 2-length
margin down the stretch and then
drawing away in the last 18th.
Prairie Dog responded to hard urg-
ing and tried bravely, but was not
good enough at the weights.
One of the largest crowds of the
meeting was out for the racing,
an excellent program being run over
a fast track. Though the weather
was cloudy, rain held of all after
noon.

Fierce Rivals Of Mat
Toll for Toy Fund
In Arena Bout
Hoder and Wagner, Twice
Principals in Lively
Draws, Try Again

Bob Wagner, who resembles a
fugitive lion, has been obtained to
tussle with Jack Hader, the local
"hate-man," on next Thursday
nights benefit wrestling show at
Turner's Arena.
Promoter Turner, already having
staged one benefit show for the
Christmas Shoe Fund, is turning
over a portion of the gross proceeds
to the Christmas Toy Fund for
Washington's needy kiddies.
Battled F;ercely to Draw.
Turner scanned a long list OF
candidates to battle Hader. and
picked out Wagner, because he be-
lieves the public wants to see these
two fellows wrestle again"
When Turner said again, he meant
that Hader and Wagner were resum-
ing a rivalry that sprang up last
September at Griffith Stadium
when, in the presence of 1900 spec
tators during the police field day,
they battled to a stirring draw. Un-
accustomed as they were to wrestling
in the daytime, Hader and Wagner
fought like a couple Of Dempseys
and when Referee Bortnick halted
hostilities they were slugging toe to
toe.
All Even Second Time.
And just as rough as that Sep
tember bout was the return meeting
between Hader and Wagner a few
weeks ago at the arena when they
wrestled to another draw. There
was plenty of flsticuf11ng. and the
bout was one Of the roughest seer
here in many moon.
Hader and Wagner are fresh from
victories on last Thursdays card
Hader bumped of Joe Maynard by
dint of his famous Turner crab,
while Wagner body-pressed into de-
feat Rudy Strongberg.
Turner turned over $82 recently
to the shoe fund, and hopes to pro-
duce more than that for the toy
fund.

this ball too far, and there is a
limit to the distance we can push
tee markers back. The par-5 hole
Is disappearing. And most courses
were not laid out for such long hit
ting"
Few Real Par IS.
OF course, If the men who build
golf courses could construct such
real par-5 affairs as the eighth at
Chevy Chase, they wouldn't find the
par-5 holes disappearing. But there
isn't any doubt that the Sneads and
the Thomsons, the Hogans and
Hines and other sluggers have made
golf into distance hitting contest.
Combine that with the fact that
there isn't any rough nowadays and
that the distance wallopers can poke
'em out into what used to be the
tiger country and still get home with
an iron and you have part of the
answer to the low scoring of today.
Back in June, 1886, the golf ball
manufacturers met with the imple-
ments and ball committee of the
United States Golf Association and
agreed not to increase the distance
of the ball. Yet the ball of TODAY
Is longer than the 1886 golf ball.
1mperceptibly the distance has been
increased, not by any radical manu-
featuring process, but by tightening
the winding.
Has Power to Act,
The U. S. G. A. has big stick
which 1t can WELD at any time to
cut down the length of the ball.
In addition to the accepted size
and weight limitations, clause in
the Rules of Golf" says "the execu-
tive committee of the United States
Golf Association will take whatever
step they think necessary to limit
the power of the ball with regard to
distance should any ball of greater
power be introduced"
There won't be any dead" ball
You can be sure of that. And prob
ably there won't be anything like the
balloon ball of 1890 and 1881. But
there will be considerable activity
In the implements and | all COM
mittee in 1910. Harold w. Pierce is
a man of energy. When he starts
after anything he finishes the job.
Just how far should a golf ball
ny on level ground with no follow
Ing wind? Roughly 270 yards carry
Is about maximum carry by golf
ball hit by club in human hands.
The driving machines, of course,
can knock a ball 500 yards without
half trying But no human can
get up clubhead speed equal to that
.of the whirling arm on the driving
machines.
Need to Cut Down Garry.
The whole thing has definite re-
lation to par and golf course yard
age. If golf ball can carry 270
yards and roll Is more yards, how
come par-3 distance stops at $50
yards? The answer lies between the
maximum range and the mean dis
tance a fair hitter can propel the
sphere, which probably averages
around 225 yards-carry and roll.
II the U. S. G. A. cuts down the
maximum carry to $50 yards they'll
have something.
They'll bring back some of the
flnesse Of the game. And if they'll
recommend that the rough be al
lowed to grow up they'll bring golf
back to something pretty near the
old standard.
