TROTTER
TICULAR PIECE
HORSEFLESH.
UHLAN IS PAR- I
OF
Uhlan, tho world's champion
trotter, Is a mighty particular
piece of horseflesh when It
conies to drinking water. Not
so very long ago Tom Logan,
who Is proud of being Uhlan's
valet, hit upon the plan of fur
nishing Uhlan with spring water
to drink. Tom figured ho would
give the gelding a treat for a
few days, but ho had no Inten
tions of continuing the practice.
"When Logan tried to change
from spring wnter to the old va
riety for Uhlan there was noth
ing doing. The star performer
positively refused to drink.
That's why Logan makes a five
mile trip on a motorcycle every
morning to provide Uhlan with
g spring water to drink.
STYMIE IS DOOMED.

Rumors arc now in circulation along
tho National league circuit that Jim
my Sheckard, the Cubs veteran out
fielder, will not wear a Chicago uni
form next season. Tho reports say
Manager Chance is anxious to land a
good twlrler and is willing to part
with ( his left gardener. Sheckard is
considered to be one of the greatest
lead off men in the game.
New Australian Swimming Phenom.
It took time to .get here, but the Aus
tralian mall Anally brought the fol
lowing, which is given nnblushingly:
"For several years Australia has
been remarkable for tho production of
fast swimmers, and the land ofthe
kangaroo has maintained its reputation
this season with another out and out
phenom. Unlike tho Cavllls, Klcrnan,
Wickham and Beaurepalre, who took
more or less time to develop into the
championship class, this new man, or,
rather, bay, has earned record fame
at almost his first header into the
brine.
"The name of the new wonder is W.
Longworth, and he halls from Rose
Bay, New South Wales."
Featurs of Golf Likely to Bo
Eliminated.
Tho gun fired recently in tho west
Intimating a renewal of tho attack
npon the much abused stymie has been
heard with conflicting emotions in the
east. Just because n well known
player in some Important match hap
pens to lose a hole at a critical point,
through being laid a stymie, falls to
change a situation or condition that
has existed for generations, say the
loyal supporters of tho old school.
When the rules of golf were drafted
the, stymie became part and parcel of
mo game, it is still sucn. nrven so,
there are those who go so far as to say
that tho Btymlo Is doomed, and that It
Is only a matter of a year or two ero
It will be banished in America.
BURKE HAS MADE GOOD.
Jem Driscoll Now Bookmaker
Jem Driscoll, England's feather
weight champion, has permanently re
tired from the ring to become a book
maker's partner on tho English turf.
In a resent Interview Driscoll said that
he didn't believe his health, would al
low him to, train again nnd that, fur
thermore, he was tired of tho game.
"Abe Attell is tho best featherweight,"
said Driscoll, "and he can Justly lay
claim to the world's title. Thero isn't
a boxer in Great Britain who can beat
him in a twenty round bout I beat
him by a shade in New York, nnd 1
can tell you that he made mo travel
at a fast clip."
Innovation For Cricket.
An interesting innovation was tried
In Edinburgh by playing cricket with
a time limit A team of profession
als brought together by Plowrlght of
the Academicals opposed a team com
posed of tho best amateur players in
that city, each side being allowed two
hours to bat, the highest score decid
ing the match.
Unfortunately tho amateurs were
disposed of In a little more than the
hour's time, and what promised to be
an Interesting contest had to be class
ed as somewhat of a failure, the pro
fesslonals winning comfortnbly.

about Ted Kelson, tho Australian bear?
Didn't the sailor flop him on two dif

pegged for a fine lacing by nearly every
sport in New York, nnd didn't he
make Papke look like a boob?
Of course Burke is not a Dempsey

Do Pitchers Toil Enough?
Now nnd then a little curiosity is
expressed as to whether tho modern
pitchers have work enough to keep
them in good condition. This doesn't
refer to their physical condition, but
to their pitching condition.
The custom has grown upon man
agers to shift pitchers in a hurry If
they happen to be batted hnrd when
the gamo is close. For that reason
almost all ball teams are carrying
more pitchers in comparison with the
actual work that they do on a ban
field than they ever did.
Tryouts For Olympio Aspirants.
Tho Amateur Athletic union commit
tee has practically selected San Fran
cisco, Seattle and Portland for the Pa
cific coast where candidates will con
test for places on tho American Olym
pic games team; Chicago, Cincinnati
and Cleveland for tho middle west,
nnd Philadelphia, Boston and New
York for the east Tho scenes of the
tryouts between tho nthletna of these
cities will probably bo Portland, Cin
cinnati and New York. It Is likely
only three athletes will be chosen for
each event
Fletcher Duplicates Racing Success.
The double success scored by J.
Clarence Fletcher of Toronto in his
Japanese racing last year, when he
.won the Emperor's cup and tho Cham
pionship cup at the Nippon Race club's
meeting with the Australian bred mare
Woodbine, has been duplicated this
season -by the young Canadian. A
mare called Bluo Bonnets won both
cups this year.

By tho truth tho world has learned,
By tho falsehood It has spurned,
Wo will vote and rise above the vanished

TO

fore Fact Is Discovered.
The fact that tho heart of eleven-
year-old William Stevens 'of Bloom-
field, N. J., Is on the right side of his
body was revealed recently.
Tho boy has been complaining for
several days of a pain In his right side.
It was at first believed by his parents
that the pain was duo to a summer
complaint nnd they ndmlnlstered
homo remedies. These failed to glvo
relief, and n physician was summoned.
Ho gave the boy a thorough examina
tion and declnred that ho found noth
ing wrong with his physical condition.
'There is Just one other thing I can
do," remarked the physician, "nnd that
is to make a careful test of tho heart"
Then tho doctor applied tho stetho-
scopo to the left side of tho boy's body.
The boy's breathing was regular, but
tberc was no heartbeat The physi
cian wns puzzled for a moment, and
then he tried the Instrument to 'the
right side.
'There are cases on record," ho said,
"where tho heart is on the right side."
It was then that he made tho dis
covery that the boy's heart was not
where It should be.
