NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN and The Nashville American, SUNDAY MORNING? SEPTEMBER 26, 1915. Some Live Gossip From All Over the Sporting World 12 BETTER RACING MARKS GET Opening Gun on Football Ready to Boom Forth. FASHION'S TYPES HORSES ARE OF SADDLE TO BE SEPARATED AWAY DAY AT STATE FAIR GROUNDS TYRUS GOBB LEADS IN FOUR BRANCHES OF NATIONAL GAME Is Best Batter, Best Base Stealer, Has Scored More Runs and Has Most Total Bases. rather easy picking: for Peter Billlken, who only started the job of showing types of saddle horses ore about am different nn light harness roadsters and high-stepping carriage horses, and to judc them together Is regarded by a great many ex-pertB as a good deal like mingling low going, long-tullfd trotters and high-going, docked hackneys In one class for harness horses. The directors of tho National i Ilorso Show association hove taken this view of tho matter in separating the two A types at the garden show this year.

How to separate them has boon quite s. troublesome question. Some horsemen have. favored the plan of classifying all walk- trot horses ns "park hacks" and all horses of tho thoroughbred or hunter typo as "road hacks." But the trouble with this plan Is that a good many men and women nowadays prefer to uso horses ot tho thoroughbred type for park riding. The only practical way that could be found of separating tho two types was by classifying saddle horses as either "docked or "undockod In other words, as lonr tailed or short tailed.

Of course, the length of tall does not or Itself determine the type of the horse. Sine nny one so disposed might dock a thoroughbred. Just as he might dock a trotter or light harness horse. But as a matter of actual experience nn ono does sucn a thing, and no good horseman, on the other hnnd, leaves a typical wulk-tr'ot saddle horse undocked, any more than lie-would let a high-stepping hackney of the heavy harness type carry a long tall when shown In a gig, stanhope or phnoton or victoria, It Is expected that tho sepsrntlon of tho two types will havo the effect of Increasing the number of saddle horses very materially at the November show In the garden. With both types shown together In the samo classes Inl post years It has necessarily happened that whenever a long-tailed horse- of the thoroughbred typo won a blue ribbon the owners of all the wnlk-trot horses were disappointed and sometimes disponed to say the Judges fa- vored that typo, as they very often did.

In the sincere belief that this Is the only true typo of saddle horno. When tho Judges were old school horsemen, partial to tho long accopted New York type of saddle horse, It often happened that exhibitors of "blood hacks' were disappointed onef. But the worst complaints of all came when the Judges took to satisfy the partisans of both types by rendering compromise decisions and sometimes giving prise to a docked horse, and placing an uiidocked horse, about as different In character os a thoroughbred is from a hackney, second in the same competition. An important decision affecting the future of American saddle horse types and the Judging of saddle horses at American shows has been reached at a meeting of the executive committee of the National Horse Show association, held to arrange plans and revise the prise list for the annual exhibition In Madison Squnro Uarden from Nov. to 12.

In Judging at the garden this year two distinct saddle types will be recognized nil through the show, and separate vlnsses will be made for each type Instead of Jumbling them together as in post years, to the confusion of the Judges and the dissatisfaction of tho exhibitors and spectators alike. In one series of competitions tho orthodox "walk-trot" saddle horse of the riding r-chools and the parks will be judged, whllo In another series recognition will given- to what Is variously known as tho English type, the thoroughbred type and the hunter typo ot riding horse. The walk-trot saddle horse, as It Is known among breeders, dealers and trainers, is ft full mn.de, finely nnlnhed, high-styled, flash-going horse, with showing, action and ahlllty to step along at a smart paco on a trot. The "blood hack," as his admirers love to call him, after the fashion In England, Is often a thoroughbred, rare horse, or a hunter with plenty of quality, and now and then a. polo pony ot bJoodJJko character hofl carried off the blue ribbon before Judges having a preference for this type.

Tho blood hack must have thoroughbred quality, or fineness of fibre with what the connoisseurs love to call rldl. shoulders, and prominent withers to keep the Buddie back where it belongs. Though quality and finish aro highly prized, the showy style nnd action which distinguished tlio walk -trot saddle homo are not essential In the makeup of a blood hack. On the contrary a good many Judges would frown upon a horse of the thoroughbred typo that carried his head and tail too high, or dlitplayed the peacock propensities which are wantod in the walk-trot horns, whether at reHt or tn action. As the trot Is tho most important gait of the wnlk-trot borne, the canter Is the malnstny of the blood hnc.k.

Few thoroughbred horses trot well, and those who ride them nre not generally get tho gait for coddlo work. On the other hand no other breed of hornc can equal the thoroughbreds at galloping slow or fast, and the canter Is merely a show gallop. In their distinguishing points the two Heller racing thaw for any day of the meet, and heats more bountifully supplied with thrills, nave, bright color to 'liut-uwiLy" day's program yesterday tit lie Tennessee state lair's speed curd.

For the fourth-, Lec eased up on bis Bonnie kid and was content to sail nlonif in the "stern waves" of dust fur back'. It was then that Thomas made his bid with Tally and as a result, Lottie was hurried from end to end. She was there ahead of Tally "by a half length, but the task she was put to told on her the last time out. She lead to tho flve-eights. but when challenged by Bonnie 13oy, who was greatly refreshed from his the heat before, she went "up" and finished a bud lust.

The 1915 football season probably will answer the I-year-old question: Was it the wizardry of Porcy Houghton, as coach, or was It tho Individual brilliancy of tho players that made Harvard supreme in the football wbrld? This year Harvard will have few of her old stars In thellne-up. Brlckley, Logan, Peu-noek, Krnncke, Coblidge, Trumbull. Of last year's real stars, Cnpfln Mahan alone remains. Soucy, Oilman and Cowan, of last year's regulars, will be in the llhe-up, but they were so overshadowed by tho lost stats that their work Is an unknown quantity.

There are several that will no doubt show promise U8erwane's line- should be the- equal of most any line In the south. Her -backfield Is now Inferior, hut may find Itself by the middle of the season. the loss of. these five men Is more than we can expect to offset In one season. Then, we have also lost from the backfield "Red" Ralney, one of the most brilliant halfbacks developed In the south In decade, as well as Callahan, who plnyed at half.

"To fill these gaps there Is considerable gfeen material on the hill, but the trouble Is thnt It Is green. Until after we have plavrd Clemson. on October 9. we won't really be nble to get a line, on the material and get a very reliable estimate of the strength our tenm Is going to show this year.

Cury Robinson will play center; he Is an aggressive player, hut only weighs 162. The other line candidates are of good size. Taylor will look after one position while Frlckey, Davis and others will fight It out for the remaining position. In addition to Jones and Williamson, the other end candidates are Steed and Bonner. Steed played end nnd tnckle last year, while Bonner Is a former scrub.

The backfield hns more experience than the line. Bldez, Hnlrston nnd Prende'rgast have had considerable experience, and are ehowlng Improved form. Congleman. an old Clemson end, is at present calling the signals. He Is fa at, though light, and has.

The University of Tennessee opened Its football season today by playing Carson-Newman collage, and as Is Its custom, swamping that team, 101 to 0, scoring fifteen touchdowns and kicking eleven goals. The visitors did not show sufficient strength to really give an Idea of what Tennessee -'coaches will have to show thin year, for the volunteers were never held for downs, and Carson-Newman made first down only once, and that was due to penalty. The Tennessee coaches sent In most of their substitutes.

The bncklleld was fast, and there Is no worry about It. The line (s heavy but green, as only one regular of last year's championship eleven was back on the line.

Mr. Slkes Is an excellent coach and says prospects look good to him. He already has the boys' team work running like a clock. It Is a pretty sight to soo them dart across the field running signals and never making a flaw, and then to see thorn burst into a wild scrimmage, showing tho steel nerve of them all on the gridiron path. High school Is confident of having one of the best teams on Its circuit this year, having with them several of the old stars of last Hcnson.

If a ball player makes a "boner" during an unimportant stage of the game, It la commented upon In the papers the next day and forgotten. But If It comes at a crucial time, his name goes thundering through the vay-leys of history with a label of "bone-head" attached. LARRY DOYLK'S CIASSIC "BONER." Larry Doyle, captain of the GInnts, pulled a "boner" eurllor in season that was classic. It's a safe bet that 99 per cent of the fans who saw It or read about it have forgotten It.

Burns, the Giant outtlelder, was on third. There was one out. Doyle- sent a long fly to right field which Moran caught. Doyle ran out the drive and waa just rounding first when Moran throw the ball to tho lutleld. In tho meantime, BurnB was shooting for home.

There wasn't a chuneo iu the world for a throw to catch Burns at the plate, and Moran didn't make a try for him. The ball came sailing close to Doyle juwt ns he was slowing up after rounding first, and Doyle, to the amazement of everyone present, reached out and caught It. The Braves at once rushed to tho umpire and claimed that Doyle's act prevented their making a play at the nlale for Burns. In reality, no play had been made, but the umpire could do nothing else but rule in favor of the Braves, and although Burns had Bcored and already was buck In the dug-out, the umpire nulled Burns' run and declared him out because of Doyle's Interference. Had Burns' run been allowed to stand the Giant would have won the game, as tho score up to that time was tied.

The Braves finally pushed another run across the plato and won the game. ONLY ELEVEN LETTER MEN Captain Tayloe of the.

"Boners" will be made nnd "boners" wllUbc but one that OUio O'Mara pulled in a recent Giant-Dodger -game ought to be written in Indelible letter, oir the pnges of baseball history. Jnck Coombs was on second and Outfielder Myers was on first. O'Mara stepped to the plato nnd bunted.

Catcher Dooin, of the Giants, picked up the bunt and tried for a force-out at third. He threw wildly and the bull went to left field, where Burns" tried to pick It up but bobbled with it long enough to permit both Coombs and Myers to score. Where was O'Mara all this time? Proba. bly rounding second you say? Not at all! Mr. O'Mara, having; bunted, refused to run.

He claimed that the ball -was a foul, despite the tact that Umpire Hank O'Day called it fair. Teammates from the Brooklyn bench grabbed O'Mara and hustled him toward first whllo. Burns was fooling with the ball in lert, but O'Mara broke awjiy and ran toward the umpire. "That ball was foul" yelled O'Mara. "It was foul I say, d'ya hear me 7" Then O'Mara started toward home plate.

Once again his teammates tried to hustle him to first, but O'Mnra threw them off. He kept yelling: "That ball was foul." By this time both the Dodgers ha scored and the ball finally was thrown to the Giant Infield. It wa? relayed to first and O'Mara was put out. Can you beat It? ONLY IMPORTANT "BONES" REMEMBERED. Fred Morkle Is charged with making the most famous "boner" In the history of baseball, yet Merkle's mental lapse.

In comparison with O'Mara's was as a mole hill compared to a mountain.
