CLARK'S REVIEW OF HARNESS HORSES Interesting Compilation Showing the Prepotent Maternal Speed Progenitors. WILKES FAMILY LEADS ALL OTHERS Great Sale at Trottlar-Br-ea Stack at liloa Stack Yard Next Werk-Uil at Beat Rerards for Ik Seaaaa at lMa.at Bath Galta. 1 wilt be readily admitted. I think, that altogether too much attention is paid by the breeder In the matter of the production of extreme speed to the blood that are moat prepotent in the male line. While almost any student of the breeding problem, and nearly all trotting enthusiast are more or less so, can tell offhand the families that hare been the most prolific in the, production -of speed in the male line, but rery few hare any conception of the principal blood factor on the female side of the house.

A an up-to-date test. I have carefully gone through the list of horses that have made records of 2:10 or better during 1903, and, curiously enough, there are only six tallions that are the aires of the dams of two or more in this select list, as follows: Alcantara. :23. by George Wilkea.

Maggie Yleer. dam of Walnut Hall Taking this select list of stallions that have shown their ability to produce extreme a peed through the maternal line, it affords an excellent criterion by which to judge of tho merits of the respective families, and is withal a substantially accurate gauge of what would be found should the whole list be taken into consideration, instead of thoae only of the past season, as showing the relative prei-otence of the various families. Three, or half of the entire number, are sons at George Wilkes, by Hambletonlan, and another is descended from Hambletonlan through Strathmore, Santa Claus. and Sidney, from whence comes the champion trotterLou The remaining two are from the Mambrino Chief family, being respectively sons of Clark Chief ana Woodford Mambrino, and the value of this family blood nicked with that of the Hambletonlan will be admitted when it is learned that the three Wilkes stallions are the direct result of the Hambletonlan-Mambrino cross. Deductions "of this sort could be continued further, but as I expect shortly to take the whole list for consideration in the column will defer the fuller explanation until such time.

A great event next week, of Interest to harness-horse enthusiasts, will be the sale of over 400 head ot high-class trotttng-bred took: at 'the Union stock yards. Chicago, which commences tomorrow, Monday, at 1 o'clock. The first horse to go under the ham-- sner will be the great race horse and sire race horses, Colbert, together with 11 the mares and youngsters from Colbert's court. The sale will continue during the weefcxeoneludfag with the 100 head from the Vihlein Brcs. Wisconsin-breeding establishment.

The Chicago National league baseball team has practically completed its schedule for Its training tour. The men will hike to the balmy clime of Los Angeles about March 14 and-will train themselves Into as good shape as possible upon those aunny shores. Games will be played with the California teams, which at that time of year, are usu ally pretty atrong, full of ginger, and most formidable antagonists for even the major leaguers. The team will work north. In all probability, as far as San Francisco.

Comiskey's men. wholly by accident, of course, will drop into town aboat the same time, so that there will be a margin of a week or more for ante-season gamea between the two local clubs. If such games can be ar ranged. It Is considered most desirable.

If possible, to bring off part of the local cham pionships before the opening of the regular season. Thia would make It unnecessary to play ao many games in chillsome October and would also put both clubs on velvet financially. The sore feeling which accom panied the unsatisfactory ending of the late series Is fast wearing away, and an exchange of deOances Is among the probabilities of the immediate future.

The advent of John Far son to the president's chair at the Chicago Automobile club jrlll mark the beginning of an Interesting future for the club, for every member expects the president-elect to -raise the club out of the lethargy Into which It baa fallen. From the plana President Farson baa In view the coming year betokene one ot activity, for It is the Intention ot the new president to make the Club very live one. His firs-t effort will be toward Increasing the membership ot the club, which at present comprises about 175, and before long President Farson expects the membership to Increase to 1.000.. Not only Is the membership roll considered, but It It the Intention of the president to have series ot entertainments, together -with talks by apeakera of national reputation upon subjects of Interest to all automoblllsts.

Dealers throughout the city have begun preparations for the show that will be held at the Coliseum during the first week' of February. Some dissatisfaction la heard among automobile owners throughout the city on account of tne way in wnicn tne enow ill be enanared. Three-fourtns oi tne automoblllsts Insist that they will not stand for the manufacturers coming to Chicago headed by one man to hold a show that is for their business Interests alone, ana not for the sake ot the sport. Last year the Chicago Automobile club co-operated with the manufacturers, ana, tnrougn tne as sistance of tbe club, the show was a success. Unless the club takes a hand in tne snow this year many claim that the manufactur ers will be frozen out ana an opposition show held.

'The Ormond-Daytona Beach tournament. which will be run each winter under tne auspices of the Florida East Coast Automo bile association over the Ormona-uayiooa Beach, promises to be a much larger affair than it was last winter. Alfred Reeves, formerly secretary of the Empire trotting track, has been at Daytona for several days taking a rest, and incidentally doing a nine work in the Interest of the tournament for W. J. Morgan, the racing representative ot the F.

E. C. A. A. Mr.

Reeves declares that in 100-mlle race on the beach he believes sixty miles an hour will be easy, and that a mile can be done In forty-five seconds without trouble. The Empire track is. he says, country road compared with the beach for automobile speeding. The committee in cnarge or tne race meet has begun to string two lines of copper wire over the twenty miles of the course. One of the wires will be used for timing the races with an electric clock and the other one ill be used for telephone purposes.

Mile posts were put up on the beach last winter. The board of supervisor at Santa Rota. CaL, adopted an ordinance regulating the speed of automobiles in that county last week. The horseless carriages are prohibit ed from running at a speed In excess of wen ty miles an hour on the thoroughfares. The ordinance Is simitar to that of Santa Clara county, and goes Into effect at once.

For some time past automoDiiuts have made apeedwaya of many- county thoroughfares. and this has led to a popular demand for the adoption of a stringent ordinance reducing the speed of the enthusiasts. The ordinance will be strictly enforced. L. J.

Phelps of Bostoa is to try to break the record for the auto climb up Commonwealth avenue hill, made by Mr. Eldridge last week. Mr. Phelps at present holds the record for the climb up Mount Washington. On the Commonwealth avenue hill ha will use his 15-horse power, three cylinder gasoline car ith toaneau, weight, 1,500 pounds.

He will be timed by the Chronograph club. The trial will be made on the first day on which weather and road conditions are favorable.

At the last meeting ot the club It waa announced that the French Au tomobile club had accepted the modification proposed. Count Sterstorporr Is starting at once lor Parla to arrange with M.

It being sufficient that they be nominated by It, and. second, to provide for an alteration of tne deed of gift for a slight diminution ot the distance. see Another auto firm has been launched Into the business world.

In an article to be printed In New York Colonel John Jacob Astor says: "As soon as It Is decided to what point the road Is to run it should be laid out as nearly aa possible aa tbe crow flies. While It Is Im portant to limit grades to about 6 per cent to prevent washouts and for the benefit of heav ily loaded vehicles and automobiles, these latter have perhaps the greatest advantage over locomotives In their ability to climb grades.

Therefore, on our transeontlnenta highway that will be used mostly by autto mobiles, if It Is not possible to produce per cent grade by cutting and filling, it would be preferable to have a considerably steeper grade, say ten feet to tbe hundred. thn to resort to curves.

NOTRE DAME'S Shaughoeseey, right end, BIG BILLIARD EVEliT FOR C.A. A. National Amateur Championship Balk-Line Tournament Likely to Be Held Here in January. If the plans of Moses Bensinger. Will Mus- sey, and others Interested In the welfare of local billiards do not go amisa the national amateur 11-inch balk-line championship tournament will this season be held in Chi cago, in all probability at the Chicago Ath letic aasociatlon and the rulea of the Amateur Athletic union.

A movement has already been begun to land the tournament, which, whether It comes West or not. will be held some time in January. Upon Mr. Mussey's return from the South next week the matter will be tak en up In earnest and an arrangement made with committee of the C. A.

which la yet to be appointed, to make the event the greatest of Its kind ever held west of New York. Last winter, after considerable Quibbling among the various clubs In New York and Brooklyn, the Hanover club of the latter city succeeded in getting the tourney. Wilson P. Fobs, the crack Haverstraw player, who Is probably without an e'qual among the amateurs not only ot this country, butof the world, proved' the winner of tbe emblem after a series of splendid performances, that fairly made lovers of the game boll over with enthusiasm. ru Seta st High Mark.

Foss showed wonderful form all through the He managed to amash the former record and averagea to smithereens nd set high mark that his rivals may have to shoot at a long time before The Haverstraw man met with but ono defeat, this at the hands ot the local expert, Fred Conklin. who. through a supreme effort. lowered the champion's colors in most surprising fashion. Conklin in this instance played bis best game of the tournament.

Foss got even with tbe Chicago man in their next meeting, defeating him. decisively. Fosa has expressed a desire to come to Chicago and defend his title should the pro posed tournament be arranged. With nlm will likely come the other stars of the East Poggenburg, Threahle, Townsend. Gardner, Dr.

Mial, Stark, and Gershel. Martin Mullen ot Cleveland, who many think the one man capable of making Foss extend himself, may or may not take part In the tournament. Mullen and Fosa seem to have so much respect for each other that they never get together. Just which one has done the dodging no one appears to know. The (act remains, however, that Mullen baa every opportunity to enter the championship tournament last year, but aldestepped the issue.

Then there are other players of note who may enter the tournament should It be held tn Chicago. The Northwest can boast of several amateurs of high clasa. while California may aend on a representative or two. Coaklla aaa Rela Best, Of the local men Fred Conklin. aa usual, and Ed Rein stand out la the light.

Now that Al Taylor baa gone abroad to Join the ranks ot tbe professionals, they are the only players, wlh the possible exception of Mc-Glnnis, who would have a chance in tbe champtonshlp race or could hope to hold their own with the Eastern brigade. Clem Ellison, who Is the acknowledged king of the local amateurs, would hardly be eligible to the championship tournament. Ellison, like Al Taylor, Is not considered a simon pure amateur, and his entry would thus be barred. The "ulederkrans of New York proposes to hold a tournament after the first of the year. In which Fosa.

Conklin, and practically the aame field that took part In the Hanover club event last winter will compete. Conklin has signified his Intention of going Esst. and promises to be in better playing condition when he starts than when he hurried away to Brooklyn last aeason. with little or no practice. Conklin Is in good form right now and la practicing regularly at Foley'a.

When at his best it takea a Foss to outplay him. Professional Matches Fall. Nothing definite ia yet known as to tbe professional matches still hanging fire in Paris. Tbe bottom has dropped completely out of the Schaefer-Sutton affair, while Vlgnaux and Sutton have not bound their match, by any means. Forfeits are said to bave been put up.

BOOM III GOLF Oil THE HORTH SHORE Skokie Country Club Plans to Enlarge Its Coarse to Eighteen Holes Next Spring. Golf will experience an assured boom on the North Side next season. The Skokie Country club of Glencoe has practically decided to Increase its course to eighteen holes next spring and a number of the other prominent organisations over whose links the lake breezes waft on sssn- mer afternoons are planning extensive im provements with a view to accommodat ing Increased, memberships. At present the Skokie club has only a nine-bole course and as tew of ita members belong to the class known- as "porch Its links are pretty well congested during the season. Dozens ot desiranie goners are anxious to Join the thriving little Glencoe organization, but owing to the limit which existing conditions place on the membership the directors have been reluctantly compelled to decline large number of ap- nllcitlona.

For some months past negotiations have neen under war with the owners of the property to the north and west of the third toa in order to obtain room for enough holes when tbe present links Is rearranged to secure the requisite eighteen, ana nave a regulation, course where championship inwtinn mar be held. The Dresent course at Skokie Is J.061 yards. When the additional land is secured tne eighteen holes will approximately measure 8,000 yards. Other Sarth Side Impravemestta. Amone- the other North Side clubs the new course at Evanaton will show the biggest Improvement next year.

Although the links was laid out leas than a aeason ago the members had some good playing this fall nd with tbe greens In good shape, as they undoubtedly will be br the opening ot next season, the Evanaton players who stuck by the club in face of the many trials ana triDu lations experienced at tbe old club will be well rewarded for their loyalty to President Clark anl the organization. While It is trifle early to discuss tho awarding of the national championships next season. It seems to be about the first subject taken up by golfers when the chill November winds make It painfully aware to the enthusiastic golfer that discussion must now take the place of actual play. One thing Is certain neither the amateur nor the womea'a championship will come West this year, unless the unforeseen bap- pens, because It was practically decided at Delmonico's last February that the big eventa of the year would "be assigned In geographical rotation to the sections of tbe country tributary to Boston. Chicago, and the district embracing Philadelphia, Balti more, and Washington.

Open Taaraey ta Go So. at this rate of figuring, the West is due to get the open championship, and it la safe. to say now. In face of previous experiences that the etent will go a-begging. In view of the conduct of some of the professionals at the Western open tournament at Milwaukee last year, when objectionable companions accompanied these professionals and ob truded themselves oa the members, there 1 no club In this section anxious to repeat the disagreeable experiences of that time.

Undoubtedly the majority of the professionals should not be held responsible for the misconduct of tbe few who unfortunately happen to be among the best players, as nobody re sented the scandalous conduct ot the quartet who took the liberty of bringing their tin welcome guests to the Milwaukee Country club than tbe hard-working pro who never forget that there Is line between the mateur and professional ranks which should not be overstepped. So far aa the award of the amateur even is concerned, that championship will prob ably be decided in the East, although Pre si dent George S. McGrew of the Glen Echo club of St. Louis and his associates are using all the Influence at their command to have the United States Golf association officials assign the championship to their club, in order that it may be one of the features of the World's Fair. Claims of Philadelphia.

When the Nassau Country club waa select ed lor tne amateur event last February a the annual meeting It was tacitly agreed tha the Huntingdon Valley club of Philadelphia would get tbe championship this year. Wirt L. Thompson was one of the delegatea from the Philadelphia club, and it was only after the promise that bis organization would ge the national amateur event next year that the Philadelphia and Atlantic City delegates fell in line tor isassau. It is known, however, that President G. Herbert Wlndeler of the National assocla tlon favors Myopia for the amateur event next year, but whether he will force an Issue with the Philadelphia people or not Is an other question.

While undoubtedly Myopia Is, from golf ing standpoint, beter suited to the big event than Huntingdonvailey, the accommoda tlons at the Bostoa club are wretchedly poor and the run to and from Boston -must tire some. Philadelphia is undoubtedly entitled to the national championship, as the event has never been held there, although the argu ment has beon set forth that Atlantic City where, unfortunately, the championship was held few years ago. Is Philadelphia or gantzatlon. a statement which the Quaker city players hastened to contradict. JOSEPH E.

O. RYAN, LITTLE CHANCE TO STOP PROSELYTING As Long as Prep Schools Develop Good Athletes Colleges Are Like ly to Go After Them, MORE STRINGENT RULES NEEDED Committee at the Cesftreses Colleges Walek Hceti la Chicago He v. S7 Coatroatea by the Serloaa Qaeatloa Pars Amateurism. At the meeting of the conference commit tee, comprising representatives from the col leges of the West, which will be held In this city Nov. 27, a number ot Important matters will be thrashed and some radical changes may be made tn the rulea governing athletics In the colleges.

Several days ago Professcr Jones of Min nesota wrote to Professor PattenglU of Mich igan, making several suggestions In regard to rules governing athletics' and other aporta college. Among the suggestions was onj in regard to the proselyting of athletes oa behalf of athletic associations of colleges and universities, and asking the best way to stop such work. Proselyting of athletes will never be stopped. It is part and parcel of the com position of Americana to secure the best In all conditions of trade, ana tne price is never too high. If the end Justifies the means.

Years ago this same suggestion waa made among Eastern colleges, ana tor a now appeared as If this method of securing the best athletes had atopped. Put later oeveiop- ments showed that It bad never been atopped at alL Probably the faculties of colleges will Issue edicts throughout the West, that the practice shall bo discontinued, and while It may aa far as tho governing bodies ot colleges are concerned, the ever loyal alumnus will -be on earth, ready to get the best for his college, and no sooner will a bright athlete loom up at some prep school than be will be ap proached wltn assurances ot tuition uiu bus or two more Incidentals, if he will but prom ise to enter certain college, or. It be does not. not to enter another school and com pete against the alma mater of the alumnus. Ko CoIIeare Free fresa Taiat.

There is not a college In the United States wholly free from proselyting students of high and preparatory schools. No matter bow innocent they may appear upon the surface. the a-ame is a-oina on lust the same, and so ciever- lv la the work accomplished that nothing can be found out that would incriminate the student or the athletic council oi tne couege. pientv of small rouies leading to the tuc- oessful entrance of students into college circles can be found in tbe most exclusive schools in the country. A student msy be given some kind of work around tbe college in exchange tor his tul tion.

and it anything is said by the eligibility committee of a rival college, the cry immedi ately goes out that Smith la working hia way through college, and in these dsys of itrenu osltv and fairness toward those who are'eh deavoring to' assist those who do not possess as much of the world's goods as others, the tale is believed, and thote who are really working their way through school are placed In false position, for should the real truth come out, honest men must sutler the penal ties that should be adjudged the wicked. Bat One Way to Stop EvIL The only way that colleges, cab overcome all guises of proselyting is to prevent every stu dent who is working his way. through col lege from participating In athletics, and then in the course of time there will be some way to get around whatever rulea are. made to that A student who Is working his way through college has very little time to devote to athletics of any sort. If he is conscientious in his desire for a higher educa tlon, he must forego many pleasures.

A man who works and tries to plsy foot ball very soon gets himself into difficulty. He must spend at least four hours a day on the football field, go away with tbe team when It plays away from home, and If he Is unfortunate and Is Injured he must lay off. If he Is working his way through school he loses all of this time, and, with no other source of revenue, how must he obtain sus tenenee? Why, only- through the athletic council of the college. Therefore, it is simply useless to undertake to prevent the proselyting of students, for It Is Just as well to allow the matter to go along open and above board. The Kllalbtllty stale.

Suggestion number two says that "venial offenses, as well as grave ones, are now pun-iahed by dropping offenders from amateur standing. It is proposed that for minor offenses one or more years be deducted from the four years of eligibility. This punishes fairly and encourages instead of discouraging amateurism." This suggestion Is the worst that was ever presented or mentioned by a college that Is supposed to support the amateur standing of athletes, and especially of college men. What Is venial offense against the laws of amateur sport? Is It the going out Into the West or some far aecluded spot In the country, playing professional baseball, either under an assumed name or In the guise ot a misinformed athlete, and then, it found out, pu up the cry of: did not know It was against tbe rules of amateurism to do what I have Is this a venial offense? There are no venial offenses against the honest Isws of amateurism. A man Is either a professional or an amateur.

Semi-professionalism Is unknown. It Is straight out and out professionalism. Rales Xow To Lealeat. The 'fault today 1 4s there are too many lenient men governing college athletes in the West, and the sooner the colleges coma together, form a strong set of rules, and stand by them, the sooner will the amateur status of every Western college athlete and not an Illusion become a reality. Tbe most common plea ot every man who violates an amateur law.

either as regards summer baseball, the unlawful acceptance ot. monetary rewards, or the competing at unsanctioned sports where money is offered as prizes, is. "I did not know it was wrong." or to term the plea more properly, 'Mgnorance" ot the amateur laws. There Is not a college athlete In. the country today who does not know the amateur rulea.

All should be treated alike. If a man violates law of the country or state he Is punlahed. no matter whether he pleads ignorance or not. There should be no venial punishment, so termed, against the amateur laws. There is a distinction, a time-honored one.

the world over, between atheltes who compete for honest prizes, and those who go skulking around during the summer, violating amateur A man must be either a professional or an amateur. There are no middle classes. Limit Right. Four years Is long enough for any collegian to participate in championship events. He should not bs eligible after that.

Should he not make the team in his freshman or sophomore years, then, after he graduates, should he return to school, or to torn other college, he should be entitled to represent his school. Some universities wo not carry on certain studies that others do, and some ars more complete In one branch of studies than others, yet a cue-year's residence rule will harm no one. If a fellow ltaves one school for another, and if his Intentions are honest, he will never object to a one-year rule. Athletes who come from high schools and prep schools; should not be allowed to represent athletic clubs or play on baseball teams during the space of time between their graduation from prep school to the time they have entered college, else the one-year rule should apply to them as well as men who come from other colleges.
