corporation organized la the leading trotting horse men tn tlie In this country it Is The Bird Catches the Other instances very many of them could be cited where the Northern trained horses proved to be tlie great money winners but those noted should be suf ficient to cause the owner mid trainer who will not race against the Southern trained horses to stop and pause and re llect on how much money they are pass ing up that ought to go into their strong boxes The big money at the early races goes just as far toward paying expenses as that won liter in the year If the money is won early then it is secure and no railroad wreck or other accident is going to prevent Its winning Tlie week of tlie Terre Hunte meeting there is no opposition from the big mile track associations and there is abso lutely no good reason whv nil of the stakes and class races opened by the as sociation should not fill and fill Weil Owners and trainers are alwavs com plaining because of the shortness of the season and the limited opportunity for winning out the cost of a good horse and bis training expenses and yet these same people fail to respond when the associa tions give them just what they are look ing for The average horseman will be surprised to know that there Is an "American trotting and pacing register" Incorported under the laws of the state of Indiana but such Is the fart The papers were Issued by the secretary of state on July IS 1908 on the application of Morris lora president: James Sullivan vice president: red Bridges treasurer Clin ton rins secretary and Albert Guriev Thad Banta

farm mare The American Trotting Register Asso ciation is a big concern and has published seventeen volumes of the register besides twenty four volumes of the Year Book the latter including all of the races under the sanction of the American and the Na tional Trotting Association and the breed ing of all horses both trotters and pacers taking standard records Of course it is patent that endless con fusion would ensue with two registra tion associations especially If Rule 8 should be taken advantage of Secretary Knight Is of the opinion that the copy right of the American Trotting Register Association has been infringed bv the new Indiana Association and will consult with the association's attorneys in regard to the matter It is worthy of note that while the In diana association has been incorporated some ten months it has never been men tioned or advertised by anv of the numer ous papers devoted to the trotting horse and that the first man to turn up with a certificate should hail from a state where there Is little breeding of this type of horse King's Victory ortunate It was an excellent thing for the British turf that Minoru owned by King Ed ward won the derby on

worked In the shortfleld Morlarity the Mainspring But the man 1 who seems to be the mainspring of the whole outfit is Moriar ity the snortstop bought from the Cin cinnati Club It is surprising what the 1 1 addition of one man will do for a team and Morlarity has been the cog in the wheel that was needed at Columbus The Senators already had a classy out field and it only remains for the pitching

backed up a little bit in their I antagonism toward Indianapolis It will I soon be time for the Western clubs to I come around for that nice little piece of I money they expect to carry away from I Washington Park and they are now will 1 ing to make a strong bluff at burying the I hatchet The ugly part of the schedule I from an Indianapolis standpoint will soon I be past and whatever damage that could I be inflicted by the early season handicaps I has been done So with the Champs pretty well down I in third place it was not such a great I concession to the Indianapolis Club to I Perry Werden Perry is a I big drawing card all over the circuit and he is a marvel at keeping the players keyed up to the fighting pitch With Perry on the bench again in uniform he will be a great aid to the Champs but the fans in all the cities will miss him I out on the coaching lines It is not a question so much of what Perry might or might not do to help the Champs win another pennant It Is a question of setting a money spending ex ample in the tight little American Asso ciation If Werden makes a hit with the fans and is regarded as a factor in the victories of the team some other club may be urged to follow the Indianapolis example and put some baseball warrior on the pay roll as coach Of course the coach must draw a salary and in this sixteen player bush league rule association it is next to a crime to have too much on the pay roll With Perry quietly on the bench the publfc will not be Inclined so much to believe that he is of great value to the team and this coach idea may not spread next year Hopke to Join Team at Home The Indianapolis Club is struggling ki along now with fourteen players on the trip away from home and Carr will prob ably stick it out unless some one is in jured in the games at Columbus Hopke will join the team on its return home and will take up the utility role Manager Carr was highly pleased with his work at shortstop and he probably would not have made a change in that position if he had not had a chance to obtain Monte Cross who is a great asset to the team aside from his ability to field his position ew if any men in base ball know the fine points of the game any better than Monte and although he has played professional ball nineteen years he has not fallen off in his fielding He is not hitting the ball very hard but he is getting more than his share of bases on balls He has strengthened the infield and that is no disparagement to Hopke Hopke despite his recent illness did some sensational work on the Western trip and the chances are that he will have many more chances to aid the Champs He has been batting close to250 and last year he was one of the best pinch hitters on the team O'Rourke will probably be sold and when Carr de cides on his catchers the team will be Wakefield may not be able to join the team for several days and in the mean time Howley will do the bulk of the catching Shaw has done good work for LI IC life into
