Hcadvlllr, Ma!.. Track.
The offer of a $0.0-0 purse for
trnners hy the Now Kngland Trotting
3 I or" Breeders Association has made
rvfry horman In the country sit up
n n d t a k e notice. No s uc h aimi of
inoniw hns pr been rompftrd for hy
'.ho light harness horses, so that right
t the start the Now England AmocIr
tton has established a world's record,
-writes George A. Ryan, an Kastern ex
J.crt.
This action marks a now era .n
racing in Amorka. for the race is to he
a handicap of a mil and a quarter, a
fttnalr. dash, and the winner will re
itIvp $:t.rtA. The winner's portion
-will he some $10,000 lartfer than any
purse heretofore "offered for trot tern,
nnd Instead of having to race all the
afternoon for the money the successful
liorse will have to go but a little more
tlinn once around the track.
This action on the part of the New
England Association was a brave
thing. Handicapped by exactly the
iame conditions that caused the mil
lionaires of Cleveland to nail up the
gates of the rtlenvllle tracks, the Yan
kees have eoine back stronger than
ever. The New Kngland Trotting
.Horse Breeders' Association and the
K cn tueky Breeders Association have
been the two leading ra-'lng assort a
tlons In ihe country. These two have
always stood for good, clean sport.
Kor years they barred hoppled horses,
at a great financial' loss to themselves.
At Readvllle, Mass.. 10 miles outldo
of Boston, the New Kngland breeders
have a fine mile track, and it was here
tli at the first mile better than two
minutes was paced, when Star Pointer
tinned the track In 1:R9-;. A little less
than a year ago the grandstand was
destroyed by fire, but neither that nor
the loFa of privilege money was suf
ficient to force the association Into
retirement. A -temporary stAnd was
erected and the Grand Circuit meeting
was held as usual.
The Hcadvllle Association has been
In the habit of doing big things. It
was at Its trark that a $20,000 stallion
race woo given, in which Cresceus and
Charley Herr fought a five-heat duel
that made turf history. Things were
booming then. For the last three or
four years the association lias been
heavily handicapped financially and
racing conditions have changed ' ma
terially. In an attempt to solve the problem
forced on it by the new conditions the
association not only renews the old
Ihm1c. Including the historic Massa
chusetts Stake for $9000, but offers
$.".0,000 for a mile dash. Whether this
Is the successful answer no one can
tell until after the race. There Is no
question, however, but that this die
play of gameness will win the admira
tion and support of every horseman In
the country.
Handicap Races Xot Popular.
Handicap races, while the chief form
of amusement on the tracks of Aus
tria. ItusMa and Australia, have never
been popular in this country. A few
half-hearted attempts have boon made
in this country, but the system never
had a fair trial, horsemen seemingly
preferring to have their horses handi
capped according to records and raced
from oejual starts In heats.
All the details for the race have not
ns yet been worked out. However, the
purse will he divided into slv portions,
as follows: $:.fl.000. $10,000, $5000. $1'500.
$i:00 and $1000. As the entrance fee.
wlfl be only 1 per cent, $300, even the
ith horse will win twice what It
i-nsts to start. No such liberal terms
have ever before been offered the own
ers of trotting horses.
Kvery trotter in the country will be
eligible to start, records being no bar.
The slowest horse will have to go a
mile and a quarter, while the horse a
second faster will have to trot that
distance phis 50 feet. At the start the
horses will be strung out along the
t rack from the th ree- quarter pole
hack, and naturally the start will have
to be from a standstill a scoring will
be utterly Impossible.
The handicaps will not be made up
until a short time before the race,
so as to allow the handleapper to make
his penalties according to the real
ability of the horses. For instance, if
Sweet Marie, 2:02, is entered, the of
ficial would not. on the form she
showed last year, make her handicap
in accordance with her record. Rather,
he would consider her performances of
IT 05 as showing her real form. Or. if a
trotter without a record had shown in
the early Grand Circuit races this year
ability to beat 2:07. the handicap would
he m;ide on that basis.
Of course, the handleapper will have
a more difficult task than would be
the case if races of that kind were
every-day occurrences in this country.
But that's one of the difficulties to be
expected when . a new plan of racing
is tried out. In Kurope, where prae
t 1 ly all the races are cond ucted on
t: 'at system. It is Immensely popular.
In this instance the size of the purse
will command attention and will guar
antee n big entry and a tremendous
crowd. The trouble with the American
sswm of handicapping by records,
isthe;- than distance. ha-s been that
w Ux i: a champion shows up. like Sweet
Marie or Major Del mar. there has been
in chuncc for them to race. This puts
a ffod horse out of the racing game
wlun they are at their best, when it
should be the time they should have
The most racing.
AiiffloU Has Good Year.
Last year Angiola. 2:. was better
t ian ever in her life, as on Julv 4 she
trotted" m mile In 2:04 over W. H. Smol
iingcr's farm track at Iron Mountain,
Mo. I'nfortunatcly there wrre no 2:06
ci.iss races for trotters and no chance
to race her. so her owner threw her
out of training. This mare In Europe
under the ha ad leap system, would have
heen able to get a race at least everv
week. Here she was a loss to her
owner, and Instead of being the most
valuable trotter in the country. as she
would have been, being the fastest, she
was worth only a brood mare's price,
unless some millionaire happened to
want to boast of having the fastest
mare in his stable for fun purposes
on! y.
If handicapped racing should be
made popular in this country tiien the
tupntchvrs would have a chant to
race. As it is now they have to be t
shown In exhibitions against time, as
was Sweet Marie last year. Possibly
this $r0.000 race at Readville will pop
ularize this system of racing.
Indianapolis will he represented by
at least one trotter, and possibly more
V. I Shut or has already announced
that he will Ktart his fast stallion
Sterling McKlnney. S:094. Of eoifrse.
he will have to race against Sonoma
Girl. 2:054; Highball. 2:t; George G.
2rK1i: Wilkes Heart. 2:034. and others
of that class, but this will be offset by
the fact that he will start ahead of
these unless. Indeed, he should show
in the early races that he can do 2:05.
when he would start way back of the
scratch.
Sterling MeKinney last year showed
that he liked a distance of ground and
was always faster after a heat or two
had been trotted, so that a mile and a
quarter should suit the Indian cham
pion. Some horsea will be all in at the
'end of the mile, .but Shuler's trottr
should be going faster then, and he
should be fresh and strong at the end
of. the race.
Much Depends on Start.
Much will depend on the start. Tots
of trainers will be schooling their
horses this year to get away fast.
There ought not to be much trouble on
that score, as the large number o
American trotters pew In Kurope have
all taken kindly to that kind of racing
and have been exceedingly successful.
A trainer could well afford to spend
all his time from now on until the race,
during- the meeting of August 24 to ?3,
in fitting a winner for this -event.
The net amount to the winner of this
handicap will be greater than the
gross won by any fritter or pacer all
last year. Sonoma Girl was the largest
winner, and she went Into Winter
quarters with only $36,250 to her
credit. From that should be abstracted
the large amount of entrance money
paid on her, some of It for races in
whteh she did not start. The next
largest winners were Highball, $21,750;
General Watts, $20,137, and Wilkes
Heart, f 1 5.1 25.
The other trotters campaigned last
year won less than $10,000 each, so
that second money in the handicap will
he more money than the gross earnings
of any of the hundreds of trotters
raced last year save the four men
tioned. The entrance fee in an ordinary
$10,000 stake Is $500. and as much more
Is deducted from the four money win
ners, and the fees In other stakes are
on the same percentage, so that. It will
cost the owner no more to enter and
start in the $50,000 handicap than to
enter and win a part of any $5000
purse. With such remarkahly good
odds, and with every trotter having an
equal show, regardless of records, it l
pretty evident that any owner of a
good game trotter can well afford to
take a chance in this event.
$50,000 lerby Great Tonle.
The $50,000 American Trotting Derby
is certainly the greatest tonle ever ad
ministered to any declining snort, and
rwhlle the game the country over is
more flourishing than ever, yet in New
Kngland the sport has. been languish
ing for several years and something
was badly needed to stimulate interest
In that section. It will not only do
that, hut will have a beneficial effect
the country over. And maybe the price
of a right good trotter that can beat
his record several seconds will not
soar.
The Prohibition wave that swept
over Illinois last week washed Off the
-racing map one of the members of the
Great Western Circuit. This was Dec
atur, which has always been one of the
popular racing points in the West.
The townspeople have always sup
ported the meeting loyally, going to
the extent of closing all the stores and
factories at least one afternoon during
the meeting.
The track Is owned and managed by
George Keller, who was also in the
wholesale liquor business. As Decatur
went dry It put Mr. Keller out of busi
ness, and he at once decided that he
would not draw thousands of people to
Decatur to patronize the other mer
chants if he was unable to continue in
business. Mr. Keller and his predeces
sor and father-in-law, Mr. Brenneman,
were always reckoned as among the
most substantial citizen of the place
and had done much to advance the in
terests of the city.
VARSITY IN THE VALLEY
DIKING VACATIOX THK TEAM
WILL FII.I- MANY DATES.
Strfnger Now Than at the End of
Last Season, and Expects to
Do Great Things.
V S I V ERS1TY OF OR BGOX, Eugene,
Or., .April 18. (Special.) The "Varsity
baseball team leaves Monday on a trip
down the Valley, on which it will meet
different Portland teams, including Co
lumbia L:niverslty and the Frakes. Man
ager Mount had games scheduled with
the St. John and Hill Military Academy
teams, but these were called off. Hill
Military asserting that they could not
make expenses and the St. John manager
stating that he could, not collect his team
In the middle of the week. The West
Portland date will take the place of one
of these.' coming either April 21 or 22.
April 23 Oregon will meet Woodburn in
that city. The Varsity trimmed that
bunch o ' to 12 In an early season game
and hope to cut the mustard a second
time. Cm the following two days the college
boys will play in Salem, crossing bats
with Salem High School April 24 and with
Willamette University next day. This
will conclude the April vacation itinerary.
The Oregon team is feeling quite foxy
after having trimmed the speedy Whit
man players in two straight contests, and
expects to make good and then some this
year. No long trips will be taken and the
Varsity will not be handicapped, as it
was last year on its Inland Empire trip,
by being travel-worn. I'nder the able
guidance of Coach "Leonard the nine has
rounded rapidly into shape and shows
more class than at the end of the season
last year. Oregon's regular pitchers,
Hurd and Clifford, are far better than
a year ago. as was shown in the way they
nao me v numan natters guessing.
The infield of the lemon-yellow team is
somewhat shaken up by the loss of
Clarke, who has gone to the outer pas
tures because of his lame foot, but Oregon
luckily has four star infield men for the
three positions of thied. short and second,
so' that one can be spared without great
inconvenience. At the present time Cap
tain Hathaway holds down third base.
Coleman takes Clarke's place at short
stop, and Houston is at his old stand on
second. Paine, the speedy first-baseman,
is longer in the reach than ever this year,
and guards the initial sack with j-pueh
credrl.
Taylor, the regular Varsity catcher, is
In a class by himself and is a tsrreat im
provement over any catcher at the uni
versity In recent years. He is a little
weak in batting, but is showing much
improvement over his work the first of
the year. Noon, Ersklne and Jamison
are likely material for the receiving posi
tion and will make good before they fin
ish college. Kestley, Ramp and Clarke
are filling right, center and left fields
respectively, and as they are all old play
ers can be depended on to deliver the
good;.

and the course will be out the Base' Line
Road to the Twelve-Mile House, across
from that point to the Section Line Road
and over this thoroughfare back to a
point opposite Montavilla, at the Inter
section of the Troutdale earline.
The course selected will necessitate each
machine makinp the circuit several times,
as the total distance over the route se

will constitute from six to eight laps to
the 100 miles.
Entries witl be received within the next
few weeks, and the contest will be open
for all who desire to enter, providing
proper ntr- blanks are filled in and sub

event.
. .
Henry H. Howcr. In the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, makes a legitimate and
creditable plea to his brother automo
bile writers to refrain from designating
the automobile Industry as a "Game. '
Says Editor Hower, in' part. "The use of
the word game has a bad effect, and an
unfavorable impression Is created by this
sort of reference to the automobile indus
try. Dealers, writers, salesmen and every
one else are equally to blame In this mat
ter. "It is high time that vigorous atten
tion should be paid to a habit which
has grown up In the automobile business,
and which, by reason of its presence, is
surely hurting trade. This is the' per
nicious use of the word 'game- in con
nection with the auto business. Until a
quietus, has been placed upon those who
continually refer to the trade as. a game"'
It will continue to be a game In one sense
of the word."
A short resume of the growth of the
auto Industry In the last 10 years, which
has been compiled by Charles ". Clifton,
of the George N. Fierce Co., manufac
turers of the Great, Arrow car. reads
like a fairy tale and shows that 10 years
ago the capital involved was only about
Jl.000.000. while today it reaches Into the
vast sum of Jl 70.000.000. . Aside from the
financial increase, the improvement In'
the automobile has been equally . rapid.

"In view of the fact that the hickory
supply of the United States is becom

hooves the automobile and carriage man
ufacurers of this country to be on the
alert for some suitable substitute." said
F. Ed Spooner. known to readers of
sporting columns as "On the Spot4" re
cently. "The .daily onslaught of the
motor car and carriage trade Is respon
sible for the decrease in the supply. It
may not be a matter of common knowl
edge, but the wood, which is one of the
most Important of all woods, since no
satisfactory substitute for it has been
found, plays a more important part
among the commercial timbers than
many people realire."
For wheels, where strenarth. toughness
and resiliency are essential qualities, no
other wood has been found in this coun
try that will take the place of hickory.
No steel or wire spoke has yet been
found that will withstand the wear and

Reports are mad? from time to time
of thft discovery of suitable nubntlt ut
for hickory in foreign countries. The
two woods whieh come nearest to having
the quality of hickory neem to be one

In the meanwhile American hickory
users will be obtiged to conserve the

There Is a general belief, and a good
one. that a' great plateau, lying be

trict, will be the scene. In the near
future, of some great air tests, and In
fact will be a great aeroiromo. , Mr.
J. B. Anderson, of the Mt. Washington
Hotel. Is very much Interested in the
lato success of those who navigate Ihe
air. There are exceptional facilities
for airship work at Mt. Washington,
and ascents from there over the moun
tains which completely surround the
plateau, will be very interesting. Mr.
Anderson has made Mt. Washington
the headquarters for a majority of ihe
tourists who tour In Summer, as shown
last Summer, when over 1-VO0 cars were
driven to the plateau. The automobile
parties invariably remain several days,
and the already large garages were in
creased greatly. An accurate record
was kept 4f the cars which made Mt.
Washington, and it was found during
the Summer that the better known
touring cars invariably won out.
J. D. Dubark, while out autoing re
cently, reports that he and his party
were submitted to considerable annoy
ance by a crowd of small boys on rTie
Macadam road, who threw handfuls of
small pebbles at each passing vehicle.
Mr. Duback states that several mem
bers of his party were struck in the
face and narrowly escaped" receiving
the missiles in their eyes, which would
undoubtedly have Injured their sight
had the pebbles struck the eyeball. Mr.
Duback also announces that he offers
a reward of $10 to anyone who will
give him the names or addresses of
the youthful culprits, and believes that
a few rewards offered la this manner
will result in the capture and punish
ment of the lads and thereby set an
example that wIM deter other young

CHANCE FDR THE BABIES
OREGON' FRESHMEN WILL HAVE
TRACK MEET.
May Be Three-Cornered Affair, With
Portland High and Eugene High
Competing Also.'
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Or., April 18. (Special.) Manager O. R.
Bean of the University track team has
given out the definite Information that
Oregon will have a freshman track meet
this year. The Oregon babies will lock
horns with the runners and jumpers of
Portland High School either on May 1
or 8. This date cannot be definitely set
tled until Manager Mount of the base
ball team finds out which date he has
open, for the Multnomah baseball team
plays here on one of the dates, and their
date must be settled first.
It is probable thav the meet will be
made three-cornered a.nd Eugene High
School allowed to enter a team. Bugene
High lias wanted to bring Portland High
up here, but if the freshmen meet them,
the Portland faculty probably would not
sanction another trip, so Manager Bean
wants to give the Eugene boys also a
chance to try conclusions with Portland.
A very strong team can be made up
from the members of the freshman class
at the University. In the sprints. Moon,
Robert and Swart are showing much
speed. Moon took second in the 2:20 at
Columbia and should give dart of P. H.
S. a close rub. RobertB and Dixon wi.i
probably take care of the hurdlers. The
former had good records at McMinnville.
College last year, while Dixon ran the
220 hurdles for Pendleton High. In the
weights. Struck and Taylor would likely
be Oregon"s chief point winners, though
other husky freshmen may show up later.
What strength the class of '11 will have
in the Jumps Is not known, for no prom
ising men have shown up in this depart
ment. Roberts will make a strong bid
for the pole vault, as he is good for more
than ten feet. Oregon"s greatest strength
undoubtedly lies In the distance races. In
this department three men from the 'Var
sity track team will go up against the
High School runners: these are Downs,
May and Sievers. Downs and Sievers
can both cut the mile close to 4:46, and
May has done the half under 2:04. Kestley
has .shown up best in the quarter for the
freshmen and will . probably represent
them in this event.
This meet will -be entirely a new de
parture In track athletics at the Univer
sity and should be the means of inducing
more freshmen to turn out for the track.
Such a meet will also give the High
School athletes a chance to pick up point
ers in regard to track work.

promise to excel the Exposition cortests
to a markod degree. The local aspirants
for the championship are decidedly bet
ter than at that time, and the Califor
nia entries, as well as those from the
Northwestern cities, are said to be of
high standing.
The coming of a team of boxers and
wrestlers from the Olympic Club, of Sun
Francisco, the club which developed
Jimmy Brltt and other notable prize
ring exponents, adds much Interest to
the aproaohlng bouts. The enthusiasm
with which the clubs entered for the
tournament made It necessary for th.
Multnomah Club to arrange for a three
night meet. Otherwise all the bouts
could not possibly be held.
Director Edgar Frank, of the Mult
nomah Club, who has charge of the ar
rangements for the meet, has not yet
received the complete list of entries from
Ihe California clubs, but has all the
NorthwestVn boxers and wrestlers clas
sified. From six to ten athletes will he
on hand to represent the Olympic Club
while Reliance and Los Angeles will
each send four men. Multnomah will
have ten boxers and eight wrestlers en
tered In the contests. Seattle will have
at least four, formidable .contestants and
may be represented by an additional
quartet, while Spokane will send a
splendid te.im of high-class entries.
Seattle's Boxing Entries.
Frank Vance and C. Venables will
prove hard men to beat at the 14Ei and
135-pound wrestling matches. Both these
men will represent Seattle In the com
ing meet and Secretary Will Inglls ex
pects to see them carry off the laurels.
Chester Brown, at 145 pounds, and Billy
Speck, at 125 pounds, are the two for
midable glove artists whom Seattle will
depend upon to capture the laurels.
Helney Rltter, the crack HS-pourd
boxer of the Spokane Athletic Club, :a
looked upon as the most formidable con
testant in the North for the honors In
that division. Spokane will also be rep
resented by Billy Creel, a clever man In
the 145-pound division. He Is a boxer
of note, and has made a fine record at
the Falls City.
Billy Miller will be relied upon to take
care of Multnomah's'chances in the 115
pound boxing event, while Olmar Dranga
and Harry Niecken will participate In
the 125-pound events. Both Neicken and
Dranga are classy boxers and can be
depended upon to make a good showing.
Gene West and "Hood Bottler will box
In the UB-pound class. Ted Rushton is a
promising man in the 145-pound class am
according to Boxing Instructor Rennick.
will not be found wanting when pitted
against any of the Pacific Coast star
in that division. Lawrence Madden ha.
been entered by Multnomah In th.
heavyweight division and he is another

Watch out for the signs!
Those little pains and aches that come and go; the spells of weakness; that feeling
of numbness, of lassitude; those restless nights; despondency, the occasional loss of mem
ory, that dullness of brain, drowsiness and lack of courage and energy are the true signs
that point to Physical Breakdown. ,
It is through these signs that Nature gives you warning of abuse, neglect. Through
these signs that she cries out for help. Help for the tired and aching body, the worn-out
and shattered nervous system, tlie wasted tissue, the weakened muscles.
It's a shame that so manrnen neglest these warning signals and allow themselves to
sink deeper and deeper until they become physical and mental wrecks, overwhelmed with
despair!

EXPLAINS VISIT TO CORFU
KAFSFH HASTKNS TO RKASSt RB
ITALIAN M ON ARC K.
Pur.K Correspondent Asserts That
Italy Felt AJarmed Over German
Ruler's Proposed Trip.
RKHMN. April 1 . (Speeia I. ) The
French have received gome utranjre
new about the Kaiser's visit to Corfu.
A eorrenpondf nc in Paris says that if
any special explanation were required
of Kmperor William's interview with
Kin? Victor Kmrnanuel, the t olio win k
would. prh;ip!. he nearer the truth
than any other. It is understood that
during the German Kmperor's stay at
Corfu he will go for a shooting; ex
cursion to Albania. When this first be
came known it caused some lilt 1 e stir
In certain Italian circles. It i no secret .
that Italy's hopes for her share in
the eventual liquidation of the "Sick
Man's" heritage are centered In Al
bania. If ever the Eastern question ti
solved, it will not be without Italy's
having an important voice In the chap
ter. Therefore, It is not surprising
that the report of the Kinperor's visit
to that part of Ottoman territory should
have caused a flutter In the circles re
ferred to. Its Importance- was magni
fied to the extent of comparing It to
the now historical trip to Tangier.
H would, therefore, not be surprising
If the Emperor had taken advantage of
his visit to Venice to reassure his
royal host as to the purely sporting
character of his excursion to Albania
in case he should carry out his orlgl- i
nal intention. Many Englishmen have
visited Albania with the same object,
and Corfu, though a delightful resi
dence for invalids and dreamers, does
not offer un limited recreation for an
active and alert mind like that of tne
German Emperor.
