    Practice of “Doping” Track Horses
Bitterly Condemned by All Real
Sportsmen and Followers of Races

Copyright, 1st;.
No practice around the race tracks
I1* inure bitterly condemned or more
strenuously 4>attbd by ie*l sportsmen
than that of "doping" horses.
^ et in bygone days it was permitted
without a word of protest from racing
odlcluls or anyone else.
Through the earliest years, owner*
ever sag r to do something to stimu
late their anmals, conceived the Idea
of giving them *herry wine, cham
pagne or < old coffee. Thl* hsrl tho
expected effect at first. Hut increas
ing doses became necessary. Rventu
e.lly the stimulating value of wine
and coffee decreased, as the horse's
system became oc. ustomed to them.
And so the folk* began looking
■•round for something a bit more
powerful.
Sold Openly at Track*.
Soon "speed stimulating Elixirs"—
i toncoetion well loaded with stimu
lating drug* made their Appearance.
They were advertised by the manu
facturers. were sold openly at the race
trucks by denier* and given to the
hors*» without any effort at conceal
tient.
Hue there came a day when the evil
in the use of dope mixture* became
r'ibfully manifest. An owner gave
h’s horse a powerful dose cf the mix
ture. It look effect upon the racer
'ust as ho was burg led out of the
paddock.
Wlut a r ikl moan, lie Jumped into
the air, unseated Ills jockey, began
lashing out with his kgs—and then
tan amuck. Dashing blindly lie lunged
and plunged against pillars and posts,
I nocked over men, started a stam
pede among the other horses and
nearly wrecked the entire paddock
before tlio effects of the drug wore
away.
Cause oi Killing.
That incident brought about a rul
ing against the drugging of horses.
But by that time the speed stimu
lating power of drugs upon horses
had Veen so successful that certain
unscrupulous owners were loathe to
abandon it. Then under cover “dop
ing'’ began.
Horses were given dope secretly in
liquid form for a while. Later, the
practice of injecting it in hypoder
mic doses became general. All sorts
of stimulating drugs wore used In an
effort to find the ono which would
give the greatest stimulus with a
minimum dosage.
With increased vigilance among
track officials on the lookout for
“doped” horses, the owners, train- !
era or veterinarians have, of neves- :
slty, been compelled to devise ways
to administer the drug so that its I
presence In the animal will escape de- 1
sect Ion.
Most of the drugs used nowadays 1
are of the “bomb” variety. They are !
timed ns to the moment of "explo- j
slon,* the idea being to have them
take effect at the moment the race !
starts. Sometimes, owing to paddock :
or barrier delays, the race does not j
start at schedule time, the drug "ex :
I dudes" before the race starts and lie I
either {rentes a commotion in the j
paddock, runs away while going to !
tho post or acts lik. a wild thing at j
tho barrier.
Must “Break" at Kiglil Time.
But if the dry bomb "breaks" at
tho right moment, it is a certainty
that tho horse will run a smashing
taco for the drug stimulates, excites 1
and fires him with an energy beyond
himself; affects hiiu Just as cocaine,
heroin and similar drugs affect liu
mans.
Tho animal system, just like the i
human's. Soon becomes shock proof !
to tho original dosage. Ho the quan
tity is gradually increased until the 1
time comes when tho "snowbirds" of '
the race tracks cannot be stimulated j
unless given a dose sufficient to kill
a hundred horses which never have 1
been doped.
Tho damage done by drugs extends
beyond tbe victim itself—if such a j
horao is bred. For it is an estab
lished fact no ‘ drug" horses e ver pro- ;
dueed a foul that ever was really
great on the turf. Offsprings of the
drug addicts of turfdom usually ate ;
undersized, or kick in truo conformu- ,
lion—are without speed, without |
courage and without stamina.
‘‘l>upe” Horses Not Welcome.
No breeder ever knowingly per
mits a "dope" horse in his stud. And
for that reason owners rarely dope
2- year-olds or 3-year-olds, in ease
such horses show flashes of great
ness and potential breeding value.
The "doping" usually Is confined to
geldings or to colts or Allies which
showed nothing wortli while as 2 aui
3- year-olds and appear rather worth
leas for stud purposes. ,
Fortunately for racing, "doping"
is done—mainly on tlie obscure half
mile tracks where discipline is some
what lax. Ilut Instances have ticca
uncovered, many of them, where
dope was used on horses in the sell
ing plater divisions of the big tracks
who usually term their animals "drug
store racers."
Hut to prove that suspicion, to "get.
the goods" on those owners and
trainers, is a rather difficult matter,
owing to tire fact that the "doping"
now is performed so skillfully that it
is almost impossible to detect the
trick either before the race is run
or afterward.
Cruel Practice.
No cruoler practice exists than that
of doping horses. For the animals,
like humans, soon cultivate a crav
ing for tiro drug. They become
either fretful or melancholic when
deprived of it for long. And then,
when they get it, the action of the
drug affects their hearts, their appe
tites. their entire systems. For days
afterward they are miserable, piti
ful and tortured; forced to suffer and :
endure the cravings for drugs created
through the practice of men who l
made them addicts so as to trans- |
form them into racing tools.

EW veterans of
| the past ever held
the grip on the
fans of the city
ns Fred Clarke
did In Pittsburgh
, when he was
playing 1 e f i
field and manag
ing the crack Pi
rate teams, which
won National
league pennants
for the Smoky ,
City in 1901. 1902, I
1903 and 1909. j
Even the pictur
csciue Wagner would have difficulty
in beating out the aggressive Bucan
eer chief in a popularity contest.
Clarke’s method of crashing into
the big leagues was typical of his
entire career. He broke in with a
lush. In his first big league game.
Clarke banged out five hits, four sin
gles and a triple in five times at
bat. This is one record which prob
ably will stand for some time, a rookie
breaking ill with five hits in ids ini
tial game.
Clarke got his five hits off "Can
non Ball” Oils .Weyhing. pitcher for
the Philadelphia Nationals, on June
SO. 1894, and those who predicted a
groat batting career for the young
Kansan did not miss their guess by
much.
Fred hit over .300 in 11 of his 18
seasons as a regular, rising to .406 in
189*. Five times in his career he
scored over 100 runs a season, his
big scoring years being 1897. 1898,
1899. 1901 and 1902.
The hefty Kansan is one of the few
big leaguers, who completed ills play
_ ing career with over 3,709 total bases.
He had the unique distinction of go
ing to bat 601 times in 1899. It is
very rare for any player, star or or
dinary performer, to have 600 official
times at bat. Cobb and Lajole each
appeared officially at bat 600 times
only once in their long careers.
Fred also could dash around the
bases, and it was not until last sea
\
son that Carey passed him as Pitts
burgh’s greatest baserunner.
“Scoop's” total steals now are 531,
against 527 for Clarke.
Clarke never led the Nationl league
in batting. Even Keeler l»eat him out
the year ha hit 40fi. However, the
Kansas took part In the most spec
tacular batting race the National
league ever put on. the leadership in
1003 remaining In doubt until the last
day of the season. Wagner, Clarke's
teammate, finally won out with .365,
leaving Clarke and Donlln tied at .351,
and Bresnahan only one point away.

Tints country lias produced some
unforgetable figures in the skat
ing hall of fame—Joe Uonohue,
1 Morris Wood, Fred Robson, John 8.
Johnson, Johnny Nilsson, Norval
Haptic, 8. D. Loo. Hobby McLean, Ed
Lamy and others. Tet it is safe to
predict that Joe Moore, present world's
indoor and International outdoor
champion, will rank with these, per
haps, even ns the greatest. Time
alone can record this distinction, still
Store has already beaten some of the
best efforts of Wood, Lamy and Nils
son.
Here are some of Moore's Ice ex
ploits:
Won every worth-while skating
championship possible in a single sea
son, Including the world's Indoor and
world's outdoor and Canadian na
tional.
Hu has won more international titles
than any skater in the world. Arthur
Staff of Chicago once won two—
Moore snared three in two years.
For four years lie has never lost
a scratch race indoors.
He made the highest point score
ever recorded in any skating meet.
In Milwaukee ho accomplished Hix
firsts in six starts. A total of 180
points (Indoors). Staff and Wood have
won four and even five firtsix in a
single meet—never six.
He bolds every world record, indoor,
from 220 to two miles.
In addition to skating Moore is a
Splendid ballplayer. Hans Wagner
once made him an offer to play with
a minor league team. Joe is strong
i'or bike tilling, too. lie often works
out with Alfie Goullet. the sixain.,
king. A couple of years ago Moure
won a novice race in Newark. Moore
and Joe I.ynch. the bantam champion,
were born in the same house in New
York City—a lucky address, both
having become world champions.
Moore worked as an office boy in
a rink where Nonal Baptie was train
ing. Norvnl befriended tbe lad. gave
htm a pair of skates and planted in
Moore tbe inspiration to become a
champion skater.
The Tolley Tec.
Cyril Tolley, the huge British ama
teur golfer, formerly amateur cham
pion of England, Introduced some
thing new in golf at the national ama
teur championship over the Brookline
Country club course—tho Tolley tee.
Many of tho players at Brookline
adopted tho Tolley tee and I have
been using it myself though it is a
question In my mind if the possibly
better results justify the hard usage
which the tee ground would of neces
sity undergo should golfers generally
adopt Tolley's method.
Tolley attracted the attention of
other players and of gallery enthusi
asts when they observed that on the
tee he never bothered to dip a pinch
of sand from the tee box. Instead he
picked odt a spot to his liking on the
tee, then drew back his foot and
stubbed his toe into the nod. This
pushed the grass, aiso some of the
dirt, forward, leaving of course, a
small hole in the ground shaped like
the too of his shoe. Immediately back
of the upraised point in the sod. He
would then place his ball on tills shoe
made tee—and hit it.
Tolley Is a terrific driver, so every
one began to speculate on just how
much his peculiar manner of making
his tee had to do with the great dis
tances he got. I-ike a lot of the other
players, f tried out the Tolley teel
myself when no one was observing. T
rather liked It. I should point out that
players can nearly always find a spot
on the tee where an iron shot has
scarred the sod and that they should
use that spot when trying the Tolley
tee Instead of kicking up a new one.
The course would suffer considerably
If all players suddenly adopted the
new Idea.
The principle value of such a tee
is largely psychological. This Is so
because the Tolley tee not only ele
vates the ball about as much as the
player would tee It up anyhow, but it
also places the ball so that there is a
depression in the ground immediately
back of it, which makes the ball
seem to bo higher off the ground than
it really is. Meanwhile the player is
making his drive while the ball, so far
ns his eye is concerned, is resting in
grass. That tends to accustom him
more to playing the ball from a gross
lie. Few golfers nnalyzo their gnme
closely enough to realize that every
shot except the too shot Is mode
with the ball lying In grass, and that
they should, therefore, mnko the tee
nhot as much a grass shot as possible.
That is wTiy the low tee has always
been urged upon golfers generally.
Another new wrinkle in finished
playing was observable more gener
ally at Brookline this year than 1
ever saw it previously—the practice
of addressing the ball with tlie club
head inside the ball* By this is meant
that the aim at the ball is seemingly
an inch, possibly two inches, nearer
the player than the ball in itself,
though the clulihead meets the ball
squarely when it comes down. Har
rison Johnston of St. Paul, was the
(list player I ever observed doing
this and when 1 asked him the why
of it he said it "excused pressing."
T§iat was a new one on me and when
Johnston saw that I still was unen
lightened he said he really didn't
know- why he addressed his ball in
his own peculiar maner except that
It seemed to allow him to press with
everything he had tn press with, and
still lie on the fairway. It then
dawned on me why this remarkable
St. Paul amateur star is such a long
driver. To press, the player must
dip the right shoulder—leading to
disaster ordinarily. IVith the ball
teed an Inch to two inches further I
away from hint he could press his I
hardest and still hit straight. All he
had to do, 1 could sec, was find out
just how much distance away from
the ball, in the address, ho had to
compensate for.
Johnston introduced a new method
into golf which may enable golf
teachers to help players utilize tliclr
tendency to press. Instead of trying
to persuade them not to press—a p
parently a hopeless task.

How to riuy llafcket Rail.
Shooting. No matter how well a team
can pas*, catch or dribble, if they can
not shoot they are not going to win many
games. Originally, the idea was to have
the forwards do the scoring, and this
tradition to an extent still remains,
though now* we expect the center ami
at tear* one guard to he as active In
scoring as either forward.
Shooting tohould not bo undertaken un
til the team has learned to rasa and
catch accurately.
It is a difficult matter to give a
graphic description of the only proper
method in which ro shoo*, for the same

where a player has some slight peculi
arity, which he uses to good advanteg#.
The method to be given tater is the one

one In which to shoot a goal.

Dear Mims:
Niki's claim that lie beat George*
Is what you rail the sauce of the
apple dumpling. Georges waa not
feeling with the Iwaltli that eve

black and blue from talking with
the fist. Now, my Georges, she
tight Niki again very sudden and
again my Nvetigali eye will tri

I hereby eliallenge The Glutt on
behalf of my hynotlc rye.
All of the time I am. without a

AND all of the time The Glutt
is without a doubt The Glutt.
If George*, she fight The Glutt,
then The Glutt. she will fight her.
Carp has about as much chance
as goose feather* In a pillow fac
tory.
This hipnuttic glim business
doesn't scare The Glutt. You
might K. O. him. You might F.
O. B. him. But you can't K. Ix. K.
hint.
When he fights Georges lie will
have special Instructions printed
on the canvas to read during his
leisure moments In the ring. Tho
Glutt is a great student and al

On the ring floor.
He has given many theories and
teeth In science. In fact, ho was
honored by tho Heinz Board of
Varieties. For his great efforts in
tho scared circle he was presented
with the Nobel I’eaco Prize.
\n matter what Ihc Boxing t orn
misii does about KiUl's title, The
Glutt will tight Georges for noth
ing and let Ike Dorgan hold the
purse.
There could lie nothing fairer
and wanner than that. The stove
buggers of Vermont are w filing to
bark The Glutt against Niki (or
plenty of red and black checkers:
They remember the day when tho
Glutt stood with his back against
the stove and sahl to < hrisly

Christy won tile game, but The
Glutt got his stiarc of tho cracker

Let Mon. Dcscamps stop his frac
