"gt Aoea not wither nor cuatom Juet
now pernicious turf and betting legislation
clala the demand for the light harness
hor," remarked a follower of thorough
bred racing at a recent vendue of trotters
and pacers. He had just aeen a 2-year-old
trotter sell for S3.G0O and sixty-four In
cot slgnment of that age average despite
a bunch of tailenders that brought $200 or
under 1500 apiece. "There seems to be
more vitality In harness than In racing
Hock."
"Well, both trotters and pacers are horses
of utility, you know," said the relnaman,
"tot -only as roadsters end for delivery
wsgons, etc., but there Is also a demand
for 'hackneylsed' trctters for gigs and in
heaty harness. Now your thoroughbred.
except occasionally as a saddle horse or
hunter. Is of not much use except to race
and occasionally to put a crinkle In a book
maker's roll." .
."Utility be hsnged!" cried the turfmnn.
'.'Men don't pay $3,500 tor a 2-year-old to
make him a roadster or delivery horse.
The colt's stake eng&gimcnts of this year
amount to 167,000, besides what the Cham
pion Stallion and Matron stakes will figure
cut, while many a bet can' be risked on
him If only on th nod. That colt has been
bot ght as a racing proposition pure and
simple, and you can't . tell me anything
else." ...
Good Yoaagsters Worth M.atr,
"Those youngsters are worth all they
brought if they never ln i stake, and
most of' 'em won't," rebutted tha reins
man, "for many are called for entry 'fees
In such events but few sre chosen for
draw back. There are colt and filly over
night purses snd stud earnings. , As a 4-year-old
to Its aged days It has also a
dlctinct racing value at little or big meet
ings, according to the class the colt or
filly develops as aids to get tne purchase
price' back, t'ntll the shrinking op under
the chill blasts of anti-bctting legislation
this was true about New York of thorough
breds, except that a racing colt as good
as this 3,yOO trotting colt with $67,000 fn
stake engagements would have then sold
for $20,000 or more.
"The wide demand for the light harness
horse is due to the existence of some
sixty distinct circuits of meetings through
out the United States snd Canada. The
Great Western Circuit has the dignity an
a better attendance than the Grand Cir
cuit, besides the chance to get a bet down
at every track, and the small tracks afford
good sport, too. There is a propensity
among .turfmen to hold too much racing
In a limited area; that Is, In one neighbor
hood. ' While successful, such strings of
running meetings Inflate the values of
horses and race courses, but to non-horsemen
such sport, with the betting end al
ways to the front, becomes a nuisance.
Hence, the reaction and summary shut
downs, as about Chicago, In New Jersey
and recently In New York state. Too
much prosperity makea these limited and
successive race meetings overripe; the fruit
is too Jutry and tender and drops at the
first frost. Trotting has Its own troubles
with legislators In many parts of the coun
try, yet ft Is so widespread that some
where a flourishing meeting Is always un
der wsy.'1 , ... i
Telllaa; Ezperlesieea.
The two had now Joined a group of
breeders and track stable backers at a
quiet table near the far rails of the minia
ture track. There was a United Slates
senator, slouch hatted and bearded, a
gray haired multimillionaire baker who
made his own loaves to start with, a Stand
ard Oil magnate; with a man who owns
as many city flats and ' lota as he has
horses on his Kentucky stock fsrm in the
party. The city flat man wore a fur great
coat and a golf cap, as he had arrived
In an automobile. 1
"I am opposed, even for city use, to the
product of a factory In place of the noblest
product of the farm the horse," observed
the senstor, casting an eye of disapproval
on the motorist's raiment.
"Fudge:" rejoined the amateur chauf
feur. "Ever since you let that Carpet colt
go for $1,800 which won $20,000 in 1907 and
the world s record for a 3-year-old of
!:0ti, as General Watts, you have been a
pessimist. Cheer up! There may be other
world beaters In the home paddock."
A cheering thought, indeed." joined In
the gray-haired baker. ' To dwell In an
ticipation over the records our young
colts and fillies should make on their
looks and breeding, although dream pic
tures adds to the pleasure of raising
horses. Your remark hits me. too, for
it was I who bred Csrpet, 2:2$, to Ax
worthy and unluckily sent the mare to
auction before she had foaled General
Watts. The breeders, through sentiment
and to. test their theories of breeding,
do much to keep up the value of the light
harness horse."
The senator drifted off - toward the
auctloneer'a stand and the motorist had
the floor. "The seal of amateurs to breed
the faateat and most atalwart light har
ness horse is not confined to. this coun
try. I have on my Kentucky farm three
mares aent from Russia to be bred to
my best stallion and then shipped back.
we all know that for some years at
leaat $150,000 worth of light harness
horses have been sold to British or con
tinental buyers annually for racing and
the stud. This is another factor to main
tain values here."
Real Activity la Market.
"There is no question about the activ
ity of the market." added the relnaman.
"Besides all the apeclal aales In Chicago,
Indianapolis, Cleveland, Louisville and
Boston in the spring, summer and fall,
during tha present winter the two auc
tions of light harnesa horses at Madison
Square garden brought In $4(,72i for
1.1(1 head.
"To return to our mutton," broke in
the thoroughbred follower. "How will the
country fair folks aland the gaff this com
ing season? Instead of tJOu.OuO being di
vided among them from the special tax
paid by the running meetings In this state
the fairs themselves will have to pay I
per cent tax on all race meetings held by
them. With meetings at but few fairs In
sight and poorly attended Grand Circuit
meetings, is not a slump due in light har
ness horse values?"
"The out market. If I may use such a
term, will save tha situation." explained
the relnaman. "Readvllle and Providence
are lost to the Grand Circuit, but If neces
sary Syracuse and Poughkeepaie will be
kept going by popular subscriptions. Char
ter Oak. by cleverly adding horse ahow and
fair attractions to Its Grand Circuit card,
will always thrive at Hartford. Regarding
the other placea of the Grand Circuit meet
ings, Detroit. Cleveland and Columbus are

th,e newcomer this sesson, will have to run
off Its fixtures without open brttlng. lAke
all new. ventures, the projected Grsnd Cir
cuit meeting Is sn experiment."
"Sana legislation regarding thorougiihred
racing also would benefit light harnees
sport In New York state," . spoke the oil
magnate for the only time. "Texas has
passed such a law In specifying rsce meet
ing to be limited to fifteen days annually
under the auspices of any one association
and to thirty days within sny one county,
with only parl-mutuel betting. This Is the
tolerant and modern stsnd to take and far
more wise than a policy of extinction1 to
racing and all forms of betting."
"But big bettors regard the parl-mutuel
as too trivial, only kindergarten betting,"
commented the turfman.
Can Make "the.TVod" Go.
"Then they may wager on tho nod, as
they do now," the oil magnate continued,
"or else establish private betting stands as
In England. But sumptuary legislation that
bestows Joy on a fanatical minority should
not deprive tho majority of favorite recrea
tion or Jeopardise the horse breeding Inter
ests of any state."
"Continuity, after all, has kindled the
fires of animosity against rsclng in this
state," began the relnaman. "If the meet
ing were on the plan of the Texas law the
scenes would shift often, and no one neigh
borhood would be bosed to surfeit with
racing. Each ' meeting would then be a
holiday looked forward to with pleasure
by tha home people, and before the sport
would pall, or any fault-finder be able to
wave the red flag, the meeting would be
over and all hands off to the next stop of
the runners. . , -
"That Is one of the holds of light harness
racing. As with a moving picture show,
there Is entertainment In the quick coming
and going. Now' for two or three weeks
before the trotters and pacers arrive for" a
brief meeting in Detroit, Terre Haute.
Cleveland, Hartford, Columbus, Lexington,
or where you will, the men begin to 'talk
horse' snd the women and girls to prepare
new clothes, just as New York women mako
ready for th opening of the opera. There
is plenty doing in society and sport through
out the meeting. It is""a novelty and appre
ciated, but ninety days of It would be a
nuisance, and from what has been said per
haps you csn dig out why the light harnesa
horse does not depreciate In value."
YALE ROWING POLICY CHANGED
Easter Week Tralalng Is Solved by
Peaasylvanla Game.
NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Feb. K.-Nnthlne-
has changed Yale's rowing policy more in
recent years than the arrangement of a
race with the University of Pennsylvania,
and the chango may bo permanent. In case
xne race la made an annual affair the
question of Yale's Easter week training
will Da solved and a fine preliminary con
test to the Harvard reaatta will be as
sured.
There are Yale men who think that tha
program outlined under the present ar
rangement Is Ideal. Yale has had nothing
but high winds and rough water at home In
ner annual Easter recess rowina. and the
coachea and directors have realised con-
ustently that there waa little to h oin
from a stsy hero to train durinsr that
week.
This year tha fortnlaht's vacation nv
a chance for a chance, and tha crew will
not only get a two-mile race with the
Viuakera, but will have a ten-day training
spell on the Schuylkill, where th.
Is a fortnight ahead of that In New Haven,
as rar as the earllnesa of the season is
concerned.
A thorough canvass' of the unlver.it r h.
been made to get out every promising
candidate. For the first time In many
years more than 100 were registered. There
are not accommodations for this number,
even on the rowing machines in the gym
nasium, and not more than sixty of the
'varsity can be taken to the harbor. The
reduction of candidates haa hesn air...,
begun.
Captain Howe of Yale crew says:
"Ths greatest athletic need that
has today Is new and 'adequate equipment
In this depsrtment of athletics. I am not
looking at the question solely in the light
of producing a winning crew, slthough
there Is no doubt that, unless something
Is done. Yale is going to be more snd more
handicapped in competition with other
Institutions with better equipment. I do,
however, want to let the alumni know
what a good effect a house lam .nm,h
to accommodate aa many men aa care to
use me training would have on the physi
cal developemont of men at Yale."

AMERICAN-BOXERS ABROAD
Many Famous One Hare Fought in
Foreign Lands.
HAVE ALWAYS SHOWED UP WELL
Joaa C. Heeaaa First to Fight la
EaglaaoU la tha Battle with Say.
erw--9alllvaa-Mltrhell At-,
fair la Frasee,
American fighters snd ring champlona
have won honors In slmost every clvlilsed
part of the world In England, France,
Australia. South Africa and the West
Indies. Borne of the fistic battles between
American sailors and those of other
nations, principally those of the English
nsvy,' have been contested In China, Jspan,
East India, Spain, Italy, Germany and
other countries.
Tho first American champion of . the
prlao ring to cross the Atlsntlc to compete
for the world's heavyweight title was
John Carmel Heehan, who was born In
West Troy, N. Y., on May 1. 18SI, of Irish
parents. He probably waa the handsomest
msn thst ever pulled off a shirt Inside
the ropes. It wss his fine appearance and
excellent manners thst led Heensn to be
come tho husband of Adah Isaacs Menken,
the . most noted actress of . thst period.
Their' meeting and courtship smacked of
romance. One afternoon they saw each other
in the lobby of the old National theater
In Cincinnati, and there was mutual admir
ation. , The msn In. the box office, taking
in the situation at a glance. Immediately
Introduced them and a. marriage soon
fallowed.
Mrs. - Heenan possessed some literary
talent and wrote numerous poems extol
ling her spousa as a gladiator. But they
quarrelled after a while and finally separ
ated . forever. Heenan' afterward . married
Sara Stevens, another actress. In England,
while Mrs. Heenan No. 1 supported ths
young tragedian, Edwin Booth. Afterward
ahe went abroad and became a favorite
of. Charles Dickens snd Alexsnder
Dumas, ar.
Heeaaa Created a geasatloa.
It was Heenan's International notoriety
which brought about the battle with Tom
Bayers, the champion of England.' This
match created great excitement on both
sides of the Atlantic. There waa- more
money wagered on the result than on
any other event In the history of pugilism.
Bayers waa a hot v favorite among all
classes In Great Britain, but when Heenan
arrived In London he found himself the
lion of the hour, although he tried hard
to remain unknown and in the background.
He 'went Immediately to his training
quarters at Sslisbury -and refused to see
strangers, though some of the nobility
cslled Just to get a peep at the American
champion. m '
The battle between Heenan and Sayers
took place at Fart borough, England, on
April 17, 1880, before the "swellest" crowd
ever seen at a ringside. The stakes were
pnly. $1,000 a side, but the amount bet
around the ropes must have been all of
$200,000, the Americans grabbing all the
money In alght witr. the odds on Sayers,
In spita of the fact that Heenan towered
above the Englishman and outweighed him
by at least twenty-five pounds.
It was a rather tedious fight- of forty
fcur rounds, lasting too long to suit the
Britishers, who saw the American cham
pion walloping Sayers to' certain defeat.
Sayers, however, deserved credit for his
clever generalship In - prolonging the mill
for two hours and - twenty' minutes,- al
though re was no match for the American.
In almost .evtry. round Heensn either
ftocted him or wrestled him to the turf
because of superior bulk and strength.
British Fair Play Exemplified.
In the thirty-seventh round the referea
left his post, so thst he was not on hsnd
to rule over or decide on the seven rounds
that followed. In the forty-fourth round
the mob cried: "Draw! Draw!" and then,
Jumping Into the ring, cut the ropes. Say
ers was drsgged out snd finally carried
away by his friends. Heensn, in the ex
citement, cslled to his opponent to come
back and fight it out. But, aa he ssw
no chance for fair play, Heenan jumped
nimbly over the remaining ropes and ran
about 600 yards to the railroad nearby.
. After this f litis Heenan used every
means possible to arrange another match
with . Bayers, but the "robbery" ,was com
promised by returning the stakes to each
man and presenting to esch facsimile belts,
which, however, were never paid for, and
Heeaan waa obliged to hand his back.
Sayers was wined and dined by all sorts
of persons and hundreds of pounds were
subscribed for him. But the unfair result
of this International match disgusted the
square sportsmen In Englsnd and the
prise ring, aa a result, received a knock
out blow from which It has never fully
recovered In John Bull's land.
In December, 1863, Heenan and Tom King
met at Wadhurst for a stake of $10,000,
the largest ever fought for In England.
One of Heenan'a seconds was Tom Sayers,
so that the American felt sure there would
be no foul play. In the eighteenth round
Heenan fairly won, s he had King down
and out. but the referee, who feared the
gang, of rowdies and thugs at the ring
aide, refused to rive the decision to the
American. . In the twenty-fifth round,
after much wrangling and bulldosing, thi
referee gave the battle to King, thereby
making him champion of the world.
With his old seconds. .Jack McDonald
and Jim Cuaick, Heenan returned to this
side and proceeded to give exhibitions
throughout the country, making a pot of
money. America has never knowa a more
popular priseflghter than Heenan.
Cohara-Mace Fiasco.
Joe Coburn was the second big American
champion to croaa the Atlantio to meet an
English champion. Coburn sailed from this
city on October 4, 18K4, accompanied by Jim
Cuaick and Jim Dunne of Brooklyn. Coburn
was matched with Jem Mace, the British
champion, the fight to take place In Ire
land, but Mace never put In an appearance
and Ctoburn, disgusted came back to
America. Mace afterward visited this
country and fought Coburn a so-called
draw in 1871 at Port Dover, Canada. The
foxy pair met again in the ring at Bay
St. Louis. Mlaa., in another alleged draw
ths same year. The general opinion at the
time was that each affair was a fake, and
after the second ons neither man took part
In another Important battle.
Jake Kllraln In 1SS. under the direction
of Charley Mitchell, laid claim to the
heavyweight championship while John L.
Sullivan, suffering from gastric fever, hov
ered between life and death in his home In
Bootoa. It was Mitchell who matched Kll
raln to fight Jem Smith, the recognised
champion of England at that timev The
battle was for $6,X0 a side under London
prise ring rules with bare fists. It took
place on the Isle dee Souverains In the
River Seine, France.
Kllraln probably could have won but for
the tough English mob at the ringside,
which delayed the fight until it was so
dark that after 106 rounds George W. At
kinson, who was (he referee, declared ths
mill a draw. ,
It was simply Impossible for Kllraln or
any other American to gain a victory over
jam Smith with ths rough and ready mob
at his back. Frank r. Slsvln had the
same Smith whipped to a stsndntill at
Bruges. Belgium. In 1M, when Jem Csrney
Jsck Baldock, Dick Burgs and others of
the London and Birmingham gang broke
Into the ring and beat Slavln with clubs
snd knuckle dusters. Incidentally robbing
him of certain success. Squire Abingdon
was expelled from the Pelican club of Lon
don for complicity in this dlsgrsceful af
fair, while the best sportsmen in Englsnd
declared Slavin the champion.
Salllvaa Caaght Klasr Edward.
John L. Sullivan, who had recovered his
hesith meanwhile, sailed for England in
October. 1S87, with the Intention of meet
ing the best man on the other side of the
big pond. He got a great reception in I-on-don
and waa Invited by King Edward VII,
who waa then the prince of Wales, to give
a private boxing exhibition before him with
the late Jack Ashtou. The bout waa a
very select affair.
"I'm very happy to meet you!" said Ed
ward when he waa Introduced to Sullivan.
"How are you, prince?" replied John L.
aa he shook his host by the hand. Sulli
van's slambang style pleased Edward im
mensely, and the latter aald:
"He'a the quickest big man I ever saw
box. What a wonderful physiquel"
Plr Chsrles Beresford, who wss in charge
of the little private bout, called Sullivan
aside after the exhibition and thanked him
on behalf of the prince. He also offered to
pay Sullivan and Ashton for their services,
but John refused any money consideration
whatever.
"If the prince wlahea to make tt rate n f
I shall accept It with pleasure." said the
Dig Boston slugger. A few days later Sulli
van received a rather flaahv eoM ha,iri
cane with the prlnce'a compliments, Sulli
van looked It over carefully, reading h.
Inscription on tho hsndle and then suddenly
turned to Asnton, saying:
"Jack, take this out to a hock shop and
see how much you can gft on It!"
"Why, you're not going to sosk it so
soon, John, are you?" asked Ashtnn in
astonishment.
"No!" replied Sullivan. "But I want
know the value of the stick!" So Ashton
went out with it only to return with the
Information that all he could r.nii.. nr
the cane was 3. Sulllvan'a eyes flashed
nre.
"Is that all?" he roared In snger.
"Here, take it back to his roval nnha
and tell him he may need It himself!" But
Ashton and others lauched John nut r it
so that he brought the oane back to Amer
ica to illustrate to his friends "the cheap
ness of his hobs," as he expressed It.
About this time. When Sullivan we. ihn.

Moore for Mitchell.
Had "Posy" Sweating Blood.
It took three hours of wraneiinar hefnr
ths men signed articles of agreement. Dur
ing these proceedings Sullivan and Mitchell
came near having a-"rouarh house" then
and there, but friends kept them apart.
jne rignt took place on Baron Rothschild's
estate at Chantilly, France, on March 10.
188S. Sullivan wanted a sixteen-foot ring,
put Mitchell Insisted on a twenty-four-foot
arena, so he could do a little sprinting. Ths
referee was B. J. ngle, the veteran, who
has presided at the National Sporting club
of London for ao many years.
'One of the most anxious spectators wss
Pony Moore, Mitchell's f sther-ln-law, who

and knocked Mitchell down, Moore ex
claimed: -"There goes my boy!". ...
When Sullivan scored snother knock down
soon after, .Moore yelled:.. , .
"There goes my blooming house and all

In fact for the first five round. It wa.
all Sullivan, and the Britons thought their

nis me miserable. From the constant foot
work by both pugilists the turf In the ring
became soft and sloppy .with mud. and
Sullivan waa soon leg weary. The rein
soaked crowd began to be uneasy and
nnauy tne notorious Jack;Baldock took
the center of the ring and cried out:
onaae nanas and call' It a draw!" As
nobody made a strong protest Referee Angla
declared the batUe a draw In the thirty
ninth round.
As Sulllvsn and Mitchell left the ring snd
were on the road to Paris they were both
arrested by gendarmes, who held them up
with their revolvers. They were admitted
to ball, but they skipped across the English
channel, each forfeltlna $1,800 bond.. nv.

to DO going blind. Mitchell went over to
Boston and handed him a $50 bill. They are
the best of friends in their old age.
Carroll Cat Dovra a Woader.
It was along about 18SS that a sea cap
tain came- to this city from Barbados to
hunt up an American fighter who might
bo able to lower the colors of a colored
heavyweight who hud been beating all
comers on thst island. This dusky won
der celled himself Prof. Graves, and he
was really a acientiflc scrapper. The sea
captain finally Induced Brooklyn Jimmy
Carroll to undertake the job.
At that time Carroll welarhed nnlv 1XA
pounds in fighting trim and when the
oarpaooo sports looked him over they sild
he was too small for the sluaelnar uro-
feasor. The match wa. mail.
;nd every man of note on the Isl.nri
at the ringside. Graves was a 2 to 1 favor
ite In the betting.
It was a hurricane battle from start to
finish and the way Carroll hammered the
professor fairly stunned the natives. Car
roll cut Ms man to ribbons, for it
a fight with bare knuckles, snd Jimmy
used his fists like a meat ax. In the
tenth round Carroll aent Graves to sleep.

across the ' Atlantic In 1&36 and m. ti
Whito. then the middleweight chamilon
or raigiana. oerore tne National Sporting
club In a ten-round mill. The decision went
against McCoy, although he won by a mile.
This so disgusted the Kid that he went
to South Africa, where he knocked out the
middleweight champion of Australia, Bill
Doherty, In 189. McCoy landed In London
again In 1J04, where he knocked out In
quick order Dave Barry, Jack Scales and
Jack Madden.
Lavlgas Sarprliws Barge,
Probably ths btn l".ile msn who ever
left American soil to do battle abroad was
Kid Lavigne, the former lightweight cham
pion of the world. In 18M he was matched
with Dick Burge, the Engliah champion.
When Sam Fltspatrick introduced the Kid
to the Jate John Fiemmlng. Lord Lons

"Why." said Fiemmlng, looking the
American champion over, "this csnnot

Rheumatism is caused by an
K..uiijr cia into me circulation oecause 01 Indijrcstion, constipation, weak
ktdncv action, and other irregularities of the system hich are sometime
considered of no importance. This uric acid causes an inflamed and irritated
condition of the Mood, and the circulation instead of nourishuifj the different
portions of the body, continually deposits into the nerves, muscles, tissues
and joints, the irritatinjr, pain-producino; acid with which it is filled. Rheu
matism can only be cured by a thorough clcansinjr of the blood, and this is
Just what S. S. S. does. It pocs down into the circulation, ahd by neutral
izing the uric acid and drivinjr it from the blood, effectually and surelr
removes the cause. . S. S. S. strengthens and invigorates the Mood so that
instead of a weak, sour stream, causing pain and agony thoughout the sys
tem, it becomes an invigorating, nourishing fluid, furnishing health and
vigor to every part of the body and relieving the suffering caused by this
disease. S. S. S. being a purely vegetable blood purifier, is the surest and
safest cure for Rheumatism in any of its forms. Book on Rheumatism and

"Oh. he's so small, only a bit of a lad!
I fear he Is not half big ' enough for

"Don't worry about hla size," said Flts
patrick with a grin. "I think Burge will

1W and Lavigne at 134. The Englishman
was a hot favorite at $ to 1. They fought
for the world'a title, a purse of $3,500 and
$1,600 a side. In the first round Lavigne
dashed in and landed heavy blows. He
tried the same tactics In the second round,
but Burge dodged and the Kid went head
long Into a ring post, injuring himself
severely.
But this did not stop Lavlgne's aggres
siveness, for ho drove Burge all over the
ring, never letting up In his attack for a
moment. The American's wonderful fight

hands in astonishment. In the seventeenth
round Burge was knocked out by a right
hand punch on the jaw.
