Dec. 31. The racing season of 1916 should be notable in many respects, the entries for the stakes of the Westchester Racing association and the Saratoga association, which closed recently, reaching a total that was most encouraging, while a large number of new names men that should be a tower of strength in the future development of the sport appear among the nominators. This is the beest argument that the sport made friends in 1915, and that racing Is still held in high esteem by a large proportion of the people. Another feature which will make the season of 1916 noteworthy is that we shall have a chance to see in action the 200 or more English and French bred horses which have been purchased by various owners in the United States since the outbreak of the war.

Racing will have an added zest because of the appearance of these strangers. There will then, be an opportunity of determining A sacrifice of one of the most favorably known stocks of Men's Clothing in Central Kansas Owing to the recent unfortunate unavoidable financial crash suffered by this firm it has been found necessary by the receiver to quickly turn every possible dollar worth of this stock into cash. For the first time in the history of this store these famous valne-givinp garments will be offered at prices far below the one small margin basis on which they have built thejr most enviable reputation as the most marvelous, values offered by the clothing world in the past decade. Tomorrow and continuing until further action is taken the receiver for the 999 store will offer All $9 99 Overcoats for $5.65 not long ago. His remark opened up an old argument.

I am inclined to agree with this statement, however. It is my opinion that pampering is responsible for a certain decline. Too much rubbing and too much treatment hurts rather than helps professional ball players or fighters or golfers. Old Cy Young would never have his arm rubbed, and he didn't develop a curve ball until years after he had been pitching in the big league. He refused to use the curve to any extent until his I "V.Ts ZZF 'f lx A -r 1 i 1, 1 FRANK Si' v5.

"But you ought to see his curve ball," answered Bill Dineen, then pitching for the Boston Americans, "Curve ball," echoed Clarke.

how our horses compare with those of other countries when they have to race on foreign soil. Hitherto England has sent 4is few horses that were intended for the track, most of our importations having been for breeding purposes. A few English horses have appeared from time to time, but they were not of as high class as those we sent to try conclusions with the best in England and France. The contests next year should serve a definite purpose, therefore, besides adding to the glorious uncertainty which has always been a characteristic of racing. It will be interesting to note the effect our ciimate will have on the foreign-bred horses, and there will alst be a splendid opportunity of comparing the Individuality of the English and French with the American types.

Many of the leading turfmen would like to have seen more fillies imported, but it is only natural for the breeders to cling to their young mares to the last, as they will be needed when the war is over to replenish the breeding ranks. England has been the great nursery for thoroughbreds and she has benefited every country, her horses having left the impress on the equine product of all nations, none more so than our own. Unlike other European powers, England has never established breeding studs under government supervision; but it is significant that this is to be but it is significant that this policy is to be changed, and, with Col. William Frank Moran, the big blond heavyweight, is living in hope that the proposed Willard-Fulton bout will collapse and that he will be given the first crack at champion. Moran has the campionship bee buzzing in his bonnet and is confident that there will be a new world's champion if he ever gets a chance with the gigantic conqueror ot "Jack" Johnson.

"Well, he's got one now," replied Dineen. Clarke had a chance to look at the curve ball later, for, with Dineen, Toung did a lot toward winning the world's championship for Boston from Pittsburgh in 1908.

The old pitcher was wise enough to realize, when he began to lose his speed, that he would have to develop a curve ball or go back to the minors, and he set to work and produced a peach. Joe McGinnity was another pitcher who would never let the rubber tackle his arm with all sorts of liniment, and he thought nothing of working two games in an afternoon and winning them.

The war has demonstrated with fresh emphasis the Importance of the thoroughbred, for without it the cavalry of the belligerents would have played a small part In the titanic struggle. What Is true of Kngland and other European countries can be said of the United States, and racing should be encouraged and fostered in every possible way, if only as an element of prepared festival. Vigorous assaults on the Brown line and constant bucking tactics kept the Rhode Island athletics continually on the defensive. They held Washington scoreless in the first half of the game and even imperilled the goal of the Westerners on one or two occasions, but they finally were beaten back on the water-soaked field in the third and fourth quarters, Washington getting a touchdown and goal in each quarter.

Along about o'clock the sheriff arrived and ordered the bout stopped.

vard University. Johnny's greatest battle was in 1887. when he fought Ike Weir in Boston. Murphy and Weir were the chief candidates for the-feather-weight litle. then held by Tommy Warren, the Californian.

In those days the featherweight limit was 115 pounds. Johnny Murphy tipped the beam at only 112 pounds, and today would be light for a hantamwelsht. The Murphy-Weir contest was to be a fight to a finish, with three-ounce gloves. As such affairs were illegal, the sports sought to keep the matter a secret, and for a time It appeared that they, had succeeded. No blue-clad Eruardlan of Boston's peace was in sight when the bout began, and the sports who filled the clubhouse believed they had put one over on the "harness bulls." Many big bets were made, for Murphy bad a host of friends in Boston, while the Belfast Spider had not as yet gained his big following- of Boston fans.

As the mill proceeded it became plain to the most fervent of Murphy rooters that their man was doomed to take a licking. Johnny had the true Murphy gamene. however, and. although almost blinded, he was still in the ring when the police broke into the place. The seventeenth round was in progress when the festivities were Interrupted, and the refere called it a draw.

Tt was only a few weeks later that Ike Weir went to Minneapolis and captured the featherweight title by defeating Tommy Warren.
