8 HORSE RACING ONLY SPORT FLOURISHING; TECH TEAM TOO GOOD TO GET OPPONENT Fighters in the Trenches Have Gay Sport Carnivals Th lull In sports Is only tempo rary, as any sane person might con clude from tha Intense concern taken In all kind of athletic activities among soldier#. This war has galvan ised millions who would never have had the energy to take an hour s exer cise per day. The result will he a general partaking In every kind of sport from croquet to heavyweight boxing. A sharp observer now on the other side, Thomas J. Kelly, prominent ath lete of New York and former member of the Irish-American A. C. and Paul lst A. C. track teams, who Is Mow a Y. M. C. A. athletic director with Gen eral Pershing's Army, writes an In teresting letter concerning his ex periences. Kelly has been In France for the past six months and has visit ed all of the battlefront and rest camps, as well as the various training camps back of the ltnes. "Athletics play a very important part In France," he said. "Every known sport In America Is being play ed in the camps here, particularly sports that tie up closely with mili tary efficiency. For Instance, take bayonet fighting: It Is practically 'box ing with a gun In the hand.' In fact. Army leaders have come to recog nize it as such, and boxing Is now In cluded as a regular part of the mili tary routine. Makes Better Soldier# "Thus athletics Is making much better soldiers; It is developing their spirit of aggressiveness, and is mak ing a real contribution toward the de velopment of our American Army. It Is. In fact, serving a two-fold purpose. The primary one, of course. Is to edu cate our soldier to be a better fight ing organism; the second to provide him with clean and invigorating rec reation. In my opinion good clean sport has perhaps more spontaneous followers than any other activity that I know of. "One hears a great deal regarding the moralitv of our troops over here." writes Kelly. "The protection of our Pitchers Were Long Time Developing the Curve Ball Three-fourths of all the male) Americans under 40 years of age who j have played baseball have been able at one time or another to throw a curve ball. Probably the estimate is unnecessarily conservative. Nearly everybody who can chuck the horse hide at all can perpetrate a round house outshoot. There are any num ber of young intielders who cannot j put any zip on the ball without twist- \ ing it. and must allow for that short- j coming when tiring at the first base target. The commonest asset of a voung pitcher nowadays is a curcej \hat swings out with a broad, lajty i bend. It is so common that it is worth- j less against even those persons who i are only ordinarily versed in batsman- I ship. Good pitchers use a delivery that insures a sharp and small break. A wide, slow curve —with a twisting course as apparent as the gyrations of a spiral kick in football or the i Knglish on a billiard ball —is a * c '"VfV achievement for grammar school kids. Blamed On Wind Yet it happens to be a fact that for forty years after baseball was invent ed there were many thousands of in- ; telligent men who did not believe that there was such a thing as a curve. Thev admitted that the ball might disport itself strangely at times, but blamed these eccentricities on the wind or weather or something like i that. They scoffed at the suggestion i that any human agency, other than a rousing thump with a bat. could change the course of a baseball after it once had left the hand of the pitcher. Professional baseball was born in ! Cincinnati in the sixties. The first j Reds were undefeated for more than a full season, and they toured the country from one end to the other, making the acquaintance of the skill ed players then rampant.

Boxing Bouts "For the Information of the rela tives and friends of our U. S. A. boys over here It may be said that ranking Army officers declare that the sobri ety and high moral standards of the A. E. F. as a whole have deeply Im pressed the French civil and military authorities." Kelly writes that he has been very fortunate to have had such boxers over there recently as Joe Lynch, Anguse Ratner and Leo Cross, and de scribes a recent outdoor boxing carni val that he staged as a most wonder ful affair. The main bout was be tween Ratner and Cross, and Major Barry, an old athlete, acted as referee "After the bouts the crowd sang songs, and It would do your heart goods to hea,r those boys." write Kelly. "There is something doing all the time, and we are all happy as the day Is long." Kelly tells about having recently met "Fat" Ryan, the giant weight thrower of the Irish-American A. C.. in one of the camps in and says he is "some soldier." Walter Hummell. 1916 national 440-yard hurdle champion, from Portland. Ore., also passed through Kelly's camp re- I cently. I later the famous Boston club, manag ! Ed by George Wright, went to Cincin ! natl" to play a game. The National I League was in its third season. If any such thing as a curve ball was at all common then, the Cincinnati Reds ! would have been familiar with it. Yet , on this afternoon in 1878—thirty-nine ' vears after baseball had succeeded townball as a game—an argument , arose regarding rumors that there ! lived a certain man who could curve 1 a thrown ball at will. The debate be i came heated. It grew so torrid that carpenters were called In. They built ; two ten-foot fences, about twenty i feet apart, and in the same plane. Mid- I way between them a post was plant ed. "Tommy- Bond's Triumph. Wright called "Tommy" Bond, a great Boston righthander of the cham pionship seventies, tfnd ordered him ito perform. Standing slightly to the | left of the first fence. Bond succeed ' ed—on the third of three trials—in j throwing a ball that passed the post lon the right and passed the second fence on the left. This feat he re peated several times. The skeptics j immediately blamed the 4vind for the miracle. To prove his contention be yond doubt, Wright- then invited in a lefthander of the name of Mitchell, i who stood slightly to the right of the first barrier and curved the ball i around the post to the right side of | the second fence. Then it was that curve-ball pitch ing was accepted as a scientific fact, j The demonstration was the big news ; of the day, and the feat of Bond and Mitchell was telegraphed to all parts !of the country. Knowing for a fact I that the thing could be done, experi menters in every hamlet afflicted with baseball inclinations began to prac tice bending the onion. Shortly there after all clubs had gay deceivers on the slab. GEDDES ONCE WAS U.S. RAIL MAN * # Britisher Learned Much of the 1 Human Side of Life on Pennsylvania Sir Eric Geddes. civilian head of j the British Admiralty, was once a railroader in the United States. "Sir Eric," he was asked, "it has! been variously reported at one time j or another that you were a brake-1 man, a flagman and a conductor I when you worked in the United I States. Would you mind saying just which it was?" "All three," replied the civilian j head of the greatest navy in the 1 world, with a broad grin softening \ the lines of a face as strong and res-' olute as many an artist might create j in typiflcation of the hard-fisted,' stand-up fighting man. It was as a young man that he had his most interesting experiences in this country. He came to the United States a very determined and earnest young man, who had to make his own way in the world and who felt that America was a land of broader opportunities than any other. In the lumber camps of West Vir ginia. on the Baltimore' and Ohio, land afterward for a time on the i Pennsylvania, he learned much that 1 has made him what he is to-day. He learned much of the human side of life as well as the practical, and |he gained a railway experience ! which, when he returned to England, soon took him to the post of direct ! ing head of the Great Eastern Rail- I way, one of the big trunk lines in the [United Kingdom. In a statement at Washington. Sir ! Eric declared another great effort by Germany's submarines is impend ing. He disclosed that plans of the enemy for what may be the final intensified U-boat campaign of ruth lessness are known and that the Allies are prepared to meet it. No details were given by Sir Eric, nor was further information to be obtained at the Navy Department regarding what the American and Allied naval chiefs ihave learned. There were suggestions that Ger many, in the midst of a peace of fensive and with her soldiers being driven back to their borders, hopes to strengthen her diplomatic drive for R peace by negotiation by send ing her submarines on a desperate campaign of destruction, regardless of measures of caution heretofore taken for the safety- of U-boats and their crews.

L. Bresler, Jamaica, L. I. Three i times her colors flashed home in ! front, and on each of her victors the ! fair owner, her husband, who trains ! them and a host of friends wagered heavily. After her blue, red and white striped silks had been borne to victory by Sherman A.. Ultima Thule and Hank O'Day in the first three races, Jock Scot, owned by her husband, finished second, only a nose behind Joseph E. Widener's ill tempered Naturalist, in the Kings bridge high-weight handicap, the fourth event on the card. "Buddy" Ensor, the little Jockey who is under contract to P. A. Clark and Richard T. Wilson, Jr., guided all of the Bresler horses. He also had the mount on Willie Sharpe Kilmer's Tableau d'Honneur, which won the last race. The four victor ies scored by Ensor was the best showing made by a Jockey this sea son, and when he rode Mr. Kilmer's colt past the Judges he was accord ed a great ovation. The Kingsbridge resulted in a thrilling finish. Harry Payne Whit ney's bay colt Out the Way, set a terrific pace for five of the six fur longs. but Jock Scot came with a. terrific rush and twenty yards from the finish stuck his head In front. Jock Scot held command, however, for only a few Jumps, for Mr. Wide ner's Naturalist, which had trail ed the field (Jurlng the early part of the race, displayed a great burst of speed in the run through the stretch and got up in time to win on the post by a head- Jock Scot took the second end of the purse, two lengths ahead of Out of the Way. Simultaneous with the Empire track opening, grand circuit racing began on the Lakewood Track at Atlanta, with a 2.09 trot and 2.04 pace. The former was won in a split heat battle by Miss Woodbine, owned by L. W. Buford, Franklin, Xenn., and piloted by Fitzgerald, and the latter by Directum J., Fred Kline's black horse with Murphy in the sulky. In the trotting event Selah Bair won the first heat in 2.04%. Jean ette Speed the second in 2.09% and Miss Woodbine the third in 2.11%. This necessitated a fourth heat in which only the three-heat winners started, and which was taken by Miss Woodbine in 2.09%. Selah Baird won second money and Jean ette Speed third. Directum J. won each of the three heats of the pacing event. This was the Coca Cola Stake for a $2,500 purse. The third heat decided third ind fourth moneys between Hal Boy nd Jay Mack. . The fastest half mile of the day was paced by Directum J. In 1.01%. The track was heavy following Sun lav showers, but improved as the ifternoon wore on. Paying For Equipment Big Railroad Problem, Who will take over and pay for $450,000,000 of new railroad equip ment? This question, concerning 3,100 locomotives and 100,000 freight cars, is now urgently before the rail road corporations of the United States through action of the railroad administration. It involves a very big present proposition' and a prob lem reaching forward twenty years. I-ast spring the railroait adminis tration. after deciding on standard types of equipment, placed rush con tracts for 3,100 locomotives and 100,000 cars, giving priority orders on the materials and supplies nec essary to get the additional equip ment at the earliest time possible. The equipment concerns have done remarkable work and already have delivered a large number of both cars and locomotives, with the others coming along fast. Some time ago the railroad administration made an allotment of the government-or dered' equipment to various compa nies. They also have been receiving cars and locomotives ordered for 1918 delivery, while the railroads were under private management. Within a few; days rather peremp tory telegrams came to the railroad corporations from John Skelton Wil liams, director of finances and pur chases, asking whether they are pre pared to \ake the cars and locomo tives as allotted to them and upon what basis they can arrange to pay for them. Some companies have an swered, others have not, hut have consulted together and with their bankers in a good deal of mental turmoil. Railroad Managers Ilalk ~~ With the railroad properties now in the hands of the BOH'i.uiaui, both as to operation and control, the companies and their managers are balking at what the railroad admin istration is now pressing upon them. On the general proposition, the company managers are stronglv averse to buying or committing their companies for more equipment than is required now—traffic is moving freely at this time —and more than they think may be required after the war Particularly, they object to the tyles of locomotives and cars now pressed upon them for purchase at top prices—two times or more nor mal cost as measured by pre-war prices—which they do not think well suit their traffic. While the federal control lasts it makes not so much difference to any company as the control contracts Standing of the Crews HARRISBURG SIDE rhlludrlphta DlDvlnlon The 112 crew first to go after 3 o'clock: 119.

Edward Wetzel, chief of police has received a letter from Mrs. Earl Fay, 336 Hulatt street, Schenectady, I N.

Few of the railroad corporations are in position under existing condi tions to finance equipment purchases independently of the government. Presumably the demands upon the $500,000,000 revolving fund at the use of the railroad administration have been so much larger than counted upon—half of it has been taken—that the railroad adminis tration is anxious to get the com panies to assume the equipment purchases. Mr. Williams has intimated that if any company cannot arrange to pay for all the equipment allotted to it, the railroad administration will arrange to lend against such equipment up to 75 per cent, of the cost at ti per cent, for two years. That would leave it to the corpora tion to provide the other quarter out of its funds. There has been some discussion of a general equipment trust, with the railroads assuming responsibility for the securities is sued under it. , Objection to Distribution Made Railroad companies are finding individual objections to the alloca tion of equipment as made by Rob ert S. Lovett, director of capital ex penditures, and Carl R. Gray, direc tor of operation. ' It is asserted, for example, that boxcars are foisted upon roads which need coal cars, as 500 to the R. F. and P.; that heavy mikado lo comotives are offered to the Chicago und Great Western, whose light rails and bridges will not safely take the ioad; that the Delaware and Hud son objects to taking more coal cars, as of what it now owns, 35 per cent, are off its lines; that the Santa Fe accepts boxcars, but objects to tak ing coal cars; that the Chicago and Eastern Indiana has been allotted equipment beyond its receivership ability.
