player. Inflated figure are' being de.
flatel quite. rapidly, and eaclT team will
go Into the aeaeoii with salary roll
' very much lc8 than the total 'at the
coixr of laat aeason. It la wasting time
to debate any further the responsibility
for 'the condition of affairs as to the
great outaoof aport, x dear to the heart
of evory.American. HTow to , overcome
adversity and win back the alienated
patrons of the gome is the problem In
which, every owner and every player s
vitally "concerned. One thing la wry
certain: Little headway towards the
goal will be made by the continuance of
' the row that have marred the proceed
ing! tor the last two years. The sooner
the elub owners can come to an- under
standing among themselves, and ' the
quicker they can reach a working agree-
ment with- their players, j the better it
will be for all hands. And, in making
" any 'agreement, either , for tie control of
cluba or players, thu magnates will be
making mistake Mf they do not give
full consideration to - the rights ' of the
great silent partner Jn the game, the pub
lic. If people are going to be asked. to
patronage the1 game, they will want to
- know Just a little more about it than
they j ever have. Give them base ball.
give Ifc to them on the level, and without
any aide frills of lawsuits and clamor
overlay arles and purchases and. jumping
contracts, and the like, - and the old
crowd will be back In the stands, root-
' ing tot the home team, but eager to see
a ball' tame, no patter which aide wins.
8o Topeka la to be with Ma for' another
season;' well, that makes no difference,
If the Kanaana will Juat aupply a base
ball team and keep It amenable to, the
' ordinary discipline of the game. The
trouble with Topeka laat aeason,. both at
borne and abroad, was that lta orgaftlsa-
tlon waa a Joke t the players had no re
gard for themselves or anybody elae, and
tbe public' aoon found out that It was
more likely to be bored by' a lot of horae
play than tor aee a ball game .when To
peka i waa announced fo play, ' and the
result waa that people resolutely stayed
away from the grounds. Topeka should
fee a good ball town,' and within the pres
, ent very reasonable salary limit of the
(Western league ought to prosper finder
competent management ' Here's hoping
thatithe new owner gets a good team and
keeps It under atrict control. ; : ,
It is nothing to wonder at that Kansas
City .'lost its Federal league - franchise,
for he fans down there do not think
enough' of base ball to make two expen
sive teams profitable. ' One or the other
had to go, and as soon as an Oklahoma
millionaire was found, who waa billing
' to put his bank 'roll ' back of . another
team on Manhattan Island, it waa easy
enough to determine which one, of the
Kansas City teams waa gong to move
This leaves Indianapolis the distinction
of being the town where the next move
la likely to come. This la a tough protv
loin for both the Gilmore and the Tebeau
leaguea. And, by the way, the Tebeau
league hasn't thown much more sign, of
spreading out. Perhaps waiting for. the

The sxat American public attll refuses
to go wild over the game that is to be

it look too much like a plan te get hold

BILLS BEFORE LEGISLATURES
NEW YORK, Feb. 11 If those Inter
ested In the American thoroughbreds will
only lend air their energy toward reviv
ing the sport of , racing In all states
where once the 'sport thrived there Is a
good chance for favorable result. k The
feeling in favor of . racing Is growing
everywhere. Even In Texas and far off
California bills arj being prepared to
present In fthelr leglslkture advocating
aome aort of legislation which will cause
a revival of the aport under state Juris
diction. Jt only remains for those con
cerned to bring all Influence possible to
bear In each Individual case, and though
success may not follow the undertaking
It Is certainly worthy of effort.
In Mlasour things look very favorable
for the pausing of a bill to regulate rac
ing, and In Arkansas It is practically set
tled that a bill will be passed, aa the
measure la being pushed forward by the
business men ' of Hot Springs aa welf as
praotlcally all broad-minded organisa
tions. There Is not the antipathy to the
sport there, was by ,'a very large ma
Jority. The men 'of this country are be
ginning to realise that there la hot the
barm In racing that they have been led
to believe. ' ', .- . .,' , . ,
, The war, too, ha opened the eyes of
those who are concerned In horses of
every degree. . Tt has been statistically
demonstrated that this country has lost
a world of money on account o( lack of
material for remount purpose. ' Had
the breeding industry hot been! stopped
. by legislation In several states during the
last ten eara this .country could have
.supplied at least 100 per cent more horses
for., ww purposes than it has done. , The
loss that has accrued to breeders' has
been enormous. - . ' '. ' '
Plenty ef Tie. I
It I true there are plenty of horses In
this country still, notwithstanding the
drall ot the laat' aix months, but thou
sands did not pa muster on account of
lack ot quality.. Had these been Impreg
nated with the blood of the thoroughbred
they would no doubt have been accepted.
The breeding1 of remount will be . a
ertoua question In thla country ere long.
and that sterling blood .will be essential
la the opinion ot all-wpo are concerned
in the rebuilding of the Industry. . There
must be contests of speed and endurance
to determine the good horses from the
bad. and that means home racing..
There cannot be horse racing on a
scale great enough to settle such.' ques
tions unless there la some aort of specula
tlon. It is only the latur which needa
regulating In every', ststa. In nearly
every country In the world speculation Is
regulated and supervised by. the govern
ment , The men In power know that rac
ing Is an I industry as well aa a aport.
Thousands of men are employed I3 con
nection with racing the world over and
it affects hundreds of thouaanda in a
direct and Indirect way, from the new-,
sie' who sells' hi penny paper to the
trainer who collect a princely aupend.

Municipal-Owned t
V Ball Clubs Latest
;v'Of.EbbetsI)reams
NEW YORK, Feb. 1. Municipal owmetv
ahlp of base ball clubs la the latest theory
to be advanced In connection Vftth the
national disturbance now undergoing auch
wide reaching upheavals by, way of legal
eruptions. , , The . theory II; . virtually
amounts to a prediction I 'advanced by
no- lose an authority than Charlea II Kb
beta, guardian Of Flatbuah's baa ball, and
author of those 'cherished words, "base
tall is still In lta Infancy." ,
.Mr. Ebbeta sUted that thoae bf thla
generation could not appreciate in all lta
vastneaa the future of the sport -
"I believe -that at some future time the
publio wil own base ball," he said.
"Do you mean municipal ownership by
that remark?" he was asked.
"Feasibly that" he replied. "I cannot
say at thla time, tor It necessitate look
ing too, far ahead, but X do believe that
publio wants to be more of a part of baa
ball than tt la even now. Scarcely a day I
posse that I do not see a man who re-
marks, 1 would like nothing better than
to own atoek In a baa ball club.'
They feel thla way, not aa a business
proposition, but because the purj is be
ginning more and more te claim base ball
aa lta own. Tbe 'faua want' to be more
Closely Identified with, the game. I do
not mean by "thia. that the fans' are not
identified with It now, for they are th
biggest part of base ball, without them
there could be nq base ball. But what X
do mean ia thla: . They are are anxious
to have a hand In conducting the affairs
of the sport" : v V

Wind the Big Hazard
on English Courses
. NEW YORK. Feb. U-Aa the illustra
tion, which la given ' for th benefit ot
those American golfera who have never
played In England or Scotland, of how
the wind ' affects seaside golf In those
countries, a reminiscent story by Harold
II. Hilton may be quoted. lie apeaka of
the British amateur championship held
at Sandwich In 1896, on one day of which
old Boreas was master of the situation
Hilton proceeds: ; ,'
"The morning gave every Indication of
. p r , j.
the day turning out to be quite a re-f
spectable example of tine spring weather,
and until 'about noon ' Ihsre vcaa little J
evidence 'of what was ia come. Wbn
th wind did arrive, however. It .struck
the link like a tornado. The tents) In
the vlolnlty of . the laat green were flat
tened out at the first assaults, and al
though continuation of play waa not al
together impossible, as was proved by
the fact that Horace huiutilnson and Bal
four, Melville pursued their match to a
ftnltfh, the remainder of the competitors
Ceased hostilities and waited for better
times. Tbe wind had abated considerably
by the afternoon, but It la on record
that of th thirty-two player Who 'at
tempted to cross the haiard at th
'Maldon' hole only one' aucceoded."
Record run is made by v
. . ' maxwell touring car
. A message front Billy Carlson, driver of
one of the Maxwell racing ears the laat
seanon, tell of a remarkable run whleh
h baa Juat finished, front Los Angeles to
Phoenix, Art.
Carlson made .the trip in a 19 tl stock
Maxwell touring car. The distance waa
715 mile and th ear made the trip In
thirty hours. Including several atopa
along the route.
The Maxwell waa "tuned up to th
minute before th trip waa started, but
owing to the length of the Joumajr many ,
adjustments were prophesied. However,
Carlson's own words tell th tale:
"The Maxwell proved Itself equal to
the hard task, itome of the going waa
tough end would teet the atrength of
any oar. , 1 certainly waa surprised and
please-t .whan I arrived at Phoenix, to
look back over the trip and truthfully
say that I never made an adjustment
during the entire run. X know ot no
greater teat for a ear than the one
through which X have Juat put that Max
well."
