JERSEY BULL A SPEEDY RACER Fall - Blood Animal Trained to Pace Mile In Less Than 2i40 Is Exceeding ly Docile. A full-blooded Jersey bull, which can pace a mile in harness attached to a sulky in less than 2:40, and which can be ridden in the saddle at even be'ter galnt has created quite a sensation in Pennsylvania. The bull is four years old. fawn in color and / A Speedy Racer. I weigh* 1.100 pounds. His owner says he frequently rides the animal and finds him as easy-going as a pacing horse The bull is exceedingly docile and seems to take great pleasure in speed ing and It requires no effort to keep him up to the top notch whether ridden or driven. Value of Silage. One dairyman says his receipts have Increased thirty per cent, since he be can to feed silage. This is higher than most of the reports, but we have yet to get one which said silage waa cot a paying dairy feed.

YANKEE JOCKEYS IN EUROPE i Many Knights of Pigskin, Unable to Make Living in United States, Popular in Old Country. The restriction placed upon racing in the United States has caused our greatest Jockeys to go abroad. The knights of the pigskin were unable to make a living here and they migrated across the pond to the turfmen that were eager to pay them princely sal aries. This season there will be on the race tracks of England. France. Germany. Austria and Russia the fol lowing American jockeys: Danny Ma her. “Skeets” Martin. Frank O’Neil. Johnny Reiff, Winnie O'Connor. J. Archibald J. Sumpter. D. Winfield. Guy Garner. Eddie Dugan. Milton Hen ry. Nash Turner and Willie Shaw. The ! average sum that each Jockey will re ceive will be $12,000. or an aggregate amount of $156,000. Frank O’Neil was the most success ful jockey in France last season. He 1 rode for William K. Vanderbilt, i O'Neil's work placed the Vanderbilt racers high up on the winning list. Frank won 153 races out of a total of i <>95 mounts. He won the most valu able race in France, the Grand Prix ' de Paris, worth about $3S,000. and ■ wound up his notable achievements by j capturing the Doncaster St. Leger. Although in the matter of winning mounts O’Neil was at the top of the list of jockeys in France, his success in the i>ereentage line was not close to the record of Johnnie Reiff. w-bo won one race out of every four. O’Nell will again wear the white and black i colors of Vanderbilt this season Reiff's success last season was bril liant. He won 115 races out of a total of 46S mounts. He was largely re sponsible for the success of Frank J. Gould's horses. The Gould stable won Danny Maher. more than $100,000 last year. Relit has been riding In France for many years and is one of the most popular American jockeys abroad. Winkfield. a negro rider, who won so many races for Edward Corrigan in the west, is one of the popular riders on the German turf. Archibald, wbo is now riding in India, is under contract to ride for Baron Oppenhelm this season. He won the Kentucky Derby last year. Eddie Dugan will ride in Austria. “Sheets" Martin will ride Harry I’ayne Whitney's racers in England. He had fair success last season with them. Danny Maher, wbo Just failed to win 100 races last season, will again be under contract to the Baron de Rothschild. Will Send Team to England. The Philadelphia Cricket club ln | tends to send an eleven to England : this summer, sailin' July 26. and re i turning in September ! FIRST BASEMAN NEW YORK HIGHLANDERS Hal Chase as Seen by Artist Cesare. By HOMER CROY. Hal Chase, the great billiard play er, is also captain of the Yankees. He would rather play billiards, after be ing out on a month's camping trip with nothing to stay the inner man except canned calf's tongue, pemmican and an uninterrupted view of the land scape, than have a plush-button, gold en-backed chair tn the dining room of the Waldorf with three waiters and a waterboy to heed bis beck. A three-cushion carrom is as easy to him as a pick-up. He was born In Los Angeles 28 years ago and began playing three-ole-cat 25 years ago come spring, and could look an umpire in the eye and tell him to go to (as the clever and lamented Shakeapeare would mildly put it) before be could pronounce Popocatepetl. At 14 he played second base for the home town team and when he had multiplied it by two he was the youngest and best looking manager between the Pacific seaboard and Mat ty's checkerboard. He has such good shoulders and leaps so gracefully that he has to have a penknife operated by foot power to open bis mashing notes. Ills wife stamps the date on the back while Hal, Jr., picks up the raveilngs. He went one year to college, mak ing a major of second base, a minor of handball and a bluff at calculus. The faculty couldn't see him with a microscope end full lights on. sigh ing with relief when he climbed In the chair car homeward bound; but ever since he made good they have been so kicking mad that they have been going about with their ankles strapped together to keep from pun ishing themselves. His hobbles are hunting and horse back riding. When he gets out of his baseball togs bis favorite outdoor diversion is keeping his heels tn. his elbows stiff and his thumbs pointing up. He can give a riding master the lag, nine buttons, and' pound on the floor for the cull'ed man in the white coat before the riding master gets his horse reined up. The gib-boom of the Yankees is mild and good natured until somebody asks him to make a speech at a baseball banquet, at which his finger nails nip into his palms until the blood spurts and he begins to look like Lady Mac beth at the Labor day matinee, with a perceptible grinding of his molars fol lowed by a pronounced twitching of his kicking muscles. He Is the greatest first baseman be tween the Canadian Pacific and the Gulf stream and owns a home in Leonia, X. J. There are hundreds of men who own homes there, but Chase admits it. When winter comes, though, Hal doesn't mind it—he can read "Para dise Lost." He would rather read Milton's great home run than have a box at grand opera with the presi dent and ice cream and lady fingers served between acts. He has read it three times and is now on the last lap of the fourth. When he wants to be deliriously Joy ful be puts on his bouse slippers and reads a chapter out ’oud to his wife, stopping now and then to close his eyes and quote in a dreamy, full throated tone: “High on a throne of regal state, which far Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of lad—" until Hal., Jr., begins to string spools on Tom’s tail. Then Hal, Sr., gets up. throws the cat out the window, and goes on with the full-throated! (Copyright. 1911. by W. Q. Chapman.! Moriarty Not For Sale. Clarke Griffith, new manager of the Nationals, is not having things run entirely to his liking. He is finding it harder than usual to get new men to bolster up the Washington team. Grif fith has now given up all hope of get ting Moriarty of the Tigers to play third base for bis team. Griffith hasn't any player to offer in a trade and realises that Moriarty cannot be secured for a cash offer. Jack Warner an Outlaw. Jack Warner, the old-time backstop of the Detroit, Washington and Bos ton American league teams, is looking for a Job as manager in the newly pro posed outlaw United States league. Warner used to be a shining star when with the New York Giants, but a weak leg forced him from active competi tion. He has managed several league teams since quitting the majors. SECOND BASE MADE FAMOUS. “Pop" Anson, Old Time Leader, Telia Story of Player* Who Have Won Renown at Middle Station. Pop Anson, the great old player, re lates the following story: “Four men have made second base famous." says Anson. “They are Lar ry Lajoie. Johnny Evers, Eddie Collins and Fred Merkle. “The kind of work they have done to make second base famous differs. Merkle's is far separated from that of the other three. Merkle made it fa mous by forgetting it “But Merkle had nothing on Kelly. Why. Kelly would often forget to touch it. He would cut across from first to. third when he thought he could get away with it. “Whenever we would start a series away from home Kelly would get in his best work. Of course, they had only one umpire then, and if he hap pened to see Mike ‘cut’ second and 1 called his attention to it, Mike would pass the matter off by quietly explain ing that the park was new to him and be did not know where second base was located." ELLER SETS WORLD’S RECORD Wins 100-Yard Indoor Hurdle Contest at Baltimore, Negotiating Dis tance In 0:114-5. A new world's record for the 100 yard hurdle race on an indoor track was made the other night by Robert Eller of Georgetown university at the Johns Hopkins-Fifth Regiment games at Baltimore. Eller negotiated the distance in 0:114-5. Bob Eller Is one of the four Eller brothers of New York, who are all athletes. Jack Eller, his older broth Bob Eller. er. was a member of the American Olympic team which went to Greece in 1908. Bob holds the world's record In the 75 yard high hurdles in con junction with his brother, and it ia said that he will be a member of the American team which goes to Stock holm this summer to take part in the Olympic games there. Yankee Stars at Paris. The passing through Paris of the American athletes on their way to the Stockholm Olympic games nest sum mer will be made the occasion of great sporting festivities, if plans out lined in a proposal to the American Olympic committee are carried out. The Marquis Polignac. a wealthy no bleman, will place the magnificent grounds of hts chateau at Rheims at the disposal of a French committee, with the view to promoting an inter national athletic meeting, where the American champions will be invited to participate. Watkins to Retire. W. H. \>a..vius, owner of the Indian | a polls club, has announced his retire | ment from baseball. It is learned on the best of authority I that Mr. Watkins has sold out his in | terest in the Indianapolis club, al though he will probably remain there i during the balance of the season, aft | erwards going to his farm in Mich igan. Mr. Watkins has been a noted char i acter in baseball for the past thirty years. . Harry Bay Holds the Record. It has been said that Fred Clarke, of Pittsburgh,- established a record for outfielders that has never been sur passed when in a game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Pirates, last year, be had 10 putouts In the outfield. Dick Ilarley, when playing centerfkjd for Springfield, made 11 pntouta, and Slagle, when playing for Grand Rap ids. in 1897, chalked up 12. Both of the*® records were, however, beaten by Harry Bay. when in a game be tween Cleveland and Boston Ameri cans Bay caught IS fly balls.

Jack Manning, laat season outfielder with Johnstown, has been made man ager of the York team of the Tri-State League. The New York American squad has been increased by three through the turning back from Atlanta of Outfield era Brown and Murden and Pitcher Coin. Clark Griffith is planning to make an outfielder out of Ainsmith because of that youngster's unusual speed. He is a fair hitter, with promises of de veloping. Harry Truby wants a place as um pire in the American Association. The veteran worked in the Ohio State last year. Since trading Eddie Phelps to Brook lyn it is reported Toronto will make a deal for Catcher Bill Byers from Baltimore. Baseball is 50 per cent brain, 25 per cent eye and 25 per cent arm and leg. according to Ty Cobb, and he Is Just about right. Once again Frank Chance Is go ing to play first base for the Cubs this season. He says so, and Murphy veriflea the resort Memphis has made Jersey City an i offer for Catcher Jack Tonneman. He I played under Manager Bernhard at i Nashville in 1809. Pitcher Bill Bartley, erstwhile Inter* j national and Southern Leaguer, will j try his arm in the American Associa tion this year. Columbus has signed him. Sacramento wonders what sort of a game Philadelphia is working on it. It thought it had purchased both Lehr and Downey from the Phillies, to find iater that it gets neither.

Umpires Fleming and Kennedy, who wer^ in the Central Association last year, will act as arbiters in the Cen tral League this season.
