RACING COMES BACK
INTO OLD-TIE FORM
Pre-War Popularity Seems
- Apparently Regained.
FOREIGN WINNINGS LARGE
English Turf Shows Old-Time Ac
tivity and Coming Season
Promises Well.
TCKVV YORK, Jan. 17. Reports from
various foreign countries indicate
that racing was one of the first of
the many spbrts to swing into its
stride again v.-ith!r. a few months
after the sipnins of the armistice.
Records and statistics gathered from
numerous sources at the close of the
1919 turf season attest the fact that
racing enjoyed a prosperous session,
and prospects favor a still greater re
vival during the coming year.
Lord Ulanely. who heads the list of
winning owners on the English turf
for the season of 1919, purchased the
Derby winner. Grand Parade, as a foal
for 420 guineas. The colt had a very
profitable 2-year-old career, particu
larly while racing over the Irish
courses, where he finished first sev
eral times. Dominion, a stable com
panion, was the more fancied of the
two for Derby honors by Lord Glanely.
and his trainer and even up to the
start for last year's blue ribbon, at
Epsom Downs, the hopes of the stable
were centered on Dominion, which
ran indifferently throughout the race.
Orand Parade is the son of a former
derby winner, Orby, which was owned,
bred and trained by Richard Croker,
the American horseman.
Remarkable Lock Is Had.
Lord Glanely's good fortune in se
curing such a wonderful foal for so
small a sum, extended in other direc
tions as his run of luck was remark
able. His colors were frequently seen
in front at the finish in many races
for platers and stake horses at all
sorts of meetings. Besides his derby
victor, which had been retired to the
stud. Dominion. Scotwell, Grand Fleet,
Skyrocket, the Mldshipmite and others
of less caliber were winners of 42
events, while his filly. Bright Kolly,
was one of the best of her sex in the
2-year-old division. Lord Glanely's
winnings, in purses alone, throughout
the season exceeded 30,000 $100,000).
Lord Derby as a winning owner was
second with about J110.000. and Major
D. McCalmont next with $70,000. King
George V won eight races during the
season and about $22,000.
The flat racing season of 1920 in
England will begin with the Lincoln
spring meeting on March 22 and the
first of the big handicaps, the Lin
colnshire, will be run on March 24.
The Liverpool spring meeting, which
Includes flat, hurdle and steeplechase
events, will take up the remainder of
the opening week, the principal at
traction being the grand national
steeplechase to be run on Friday,
March 26.
The dates for the English 3-year-old
classics have been announced as
follows: At Newmarket, 2000 guineas.
April 28. and 1000 guineas April 30.
At Epsom, the Derby, June 2. and the
Oaks, June 4. At Doncaster, St. Leger,
September 8.
Lady James Douglas, whose horse,
Gainsborough, was the winner, the
new derby in 1918. won the Oaks, an-
oiner or tne classic races, last year
with Bayuda at Epsom. This was the
only winner with which the filly's
owner was credited during the season
of 1S1, but it netted her a 6um of
$28,000.
For the sixth time in succession S.
Donoghue headed the list of English
professional jockeys last year. Dur
ing the season this popular rider won
129 races out of 532. He finished sec
ond 107 times, scored 70 thirds, and
rode unplaced in 223 contests. L'n
like many other jockeys, Donoghue
does not find any difficulty in keep
ing his weight down; in fact, he
scaled as low as 101 pounds in some
of the midsummer races. He rides as
a free lance and his services are in
great demand. Donoghue's winning
average is not quite as good as that
of the Australian. B. Carslake, but the
latter rode less frequently, scoring 106
winning brackets out of 328 starts.
The betting sheds on the Berlin
race tracks handled 200.000.000 marks
during the season just ended, which
comprised 67 days. The bulk of the
betting was on running races.
According to Irish racing statistics
the 1919 season was the most success
ful in the Emerald isle's turf hlstory
Never before had so much added
money been given for purses and plate
ab the different race meetings
throughout the country. The list of
w inning owners, however, was headed
by an English owner of thorough
breds, a Mr. V. Parrish, who main
tains extensive racing quarters at the
ITarragh of Vildare. Fourteen of the
Parrish horses won 24 events, the cash
value of the prizes amounting to
$28,300.
Among the Irish trainers, J. J.
Parkinson was easily the most sue
ressful, as 34 of the animals he sad
dled finished in front in 56 events.
Parkinson at one time was closely
identified with the care of Richard
Croker's racers both in Ireland and
England.
Joseph Canty, who rides equally
well over the jumps and on the flat,
led the Irish jockeys by winning 65
races, finishing second in 48, scoring
31 third and riding unplaced 75 times,
showing a percentage of 29 63. H. H.
F.eawley, a member of a family of suc
cessful jockeys whose fame particu
larly as steeplechase and hurdle rid-
eis dates back three generations, was
a close second with ."18 winning mounts
out of 217.
Gloaming, an Australian bred geld
ing, owned by a New Zealand turf
patron, is credited with having won
over 14.000 since he began racing as
a 2-year-old in 1917. As a 3-year-old
Gloaming won several stakes, includ
ing the Australian Jockey club derby,
the New Zealand derby and Grfeat
Northern derby, and last year he was
first in three events of a cash value
of over $11,000.

LEGE, Corvallis. Jan. 17. (Special.)
Three Multnomah county boys
Adolph Zinger, Grant McMillian and
Albert Zinger have made what is
considered a remarkable record the
past year in club work of the state.
The boys won first place on their sheep
at the county fair in Gresham and
Adolph Zinger and Grant McMillian
won first on club sheep at the state
fair. The students will get a free
trip to the college next summer for
the boys' and girls' short course. The
three boys represented Multnomah
county in the livestock judging con
test at the state fair and scored sec
ond. At the Western Royal livestock
show in Spokane the first week of
November the boys were one of the
three teams which represented the
state of Oregon and took third place
in the livestock judging contest. They
are members of the Gresham sheep
club. Miss Ethel Calkins is the coun
ty club leader and has been assisted
in the work of this particular club
by William Hornicker, a local sheep
man.
Grant MeMillian's father is so well
nleased with the record his 12-year
old son has made in sheep raising
that he has turned his farm over to
the boy, who is stocking it with the
choisest pure-bred Lincoln sheep. The
Zinger boys are twins, "as much alike
as two peas in a pod." according to
L. J. Allen, state livestock club leader.
Modern Football Is Tame,

w
ASHINGTOX, Jan. 17. Football
stage in colleges and high schools, is
considered a strenuous game, but the
style of play in this generation is
a mild and tame exercise as com
pared to the original forms of the
sport, according to a bulletin from
the National Geographic society.
The history of the autumn classic
is described by J. R. Hildebrand in a
communication to the society, which
follows:
"Running, throwing. hitting and
kicking are the fundamental muscu
lar operations of America's charac
teristic sports baseball, football
tennis and golf. The peoples of an
tiquity manifested all these instincts
in cruder form.
"Luzon hillmen. the Polynesians and
the Eskimo and Sumatra islanders had
games played by kicking a ball
Greeks played it and the Roman
game, harpastum, derived its name
from the Greek I seize, which is evl
dence that carrying the ball was
practiced by them. With shoes of hide
the mediaeval Italians played a game
which seems the direct ancestor of
the Anglo-Saxon college sport. Gaelic
scholars point to a football game in
Ireland before the time of Christ, and
until comparatively recent times
Shrove Tuesday was as distinctively
an occasion for football as is our
Thanksgiving today."
In old England football was even
rougher than most sports of .those
hardy times. James I. thought it was
"meeter for lameing than making able I
the users thereof." Henry VIII. and (
Elizabeth ruled against it. Edward t
II frowned upon it for its inter-1
ference with archery and also be- '
CAlltxA nf thA trrrmet inn it arniifid.
In those times it was played in the
city streets. A writer of the 16th cen
tury called it a "devilish pastime"
and charged it with inciting "envy"
and sometimes brawling, murther and
homicide."
Nevertheless bythe time of Charles
II football had become firmly estab
lished at Cambridge. It was ever held
ir. high esteem in Ireland. There, when
all other sports were prohibited for
archery's sake, "or.ely the great foot
balle" was exempt. Women joined
with the men in playing it on Shrove
Tuesdays. So many participated that
few knew the whereabouts of the ball.
An expedient which not so long ago
aroused a furore in the American
sporting world was adopted by a
player who shook out the shavings
with which the balls of those days
were stuffed and carried It under his
shirt to the goal.
Abandoned as a general pastime be
cause of its roughness, it was re
tained in colleges until, within the
past half century, it sprang into re
newed popularity in greatly modified
form.
The British carried football into
Jerusalem when they recovered the

sacred city. Missionaries have taught
it to heathen tribes.
The reason why it has become a
handmaiden of civilization and is so
popular among college men of Amer
ica was summarized by Howard S.
Bliss, writing about the Syrian Prot
estant college at "Beirut of which he
was president, in an article for the
National Geographic magazine:
"You will find the son of a prince
playing football under the captaincy
of a peasant or the sun of a cook. We
believe in football there and we have
17 or 18 football teams in college. The
game develops the ability to receive
a hard blow without showing the
white feather or drawing a dagger.
This means that when the men get
out of college they will stand upon
their feet as men."

Joe Tinker end Manager Clymer in
Conference Over 1920
Team Makeup.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. Jan. 17. Presi
dent Joe Tinker of the Senators will
leave here this week for Albany, Ga.,
where he expects to close negotiations
for the use of that city as a train
ing camp for the Senators.
According to present plans, the team
will leave for the southland on March
6 and Columbus will not see the
Clymer tribe in action until April 10.
when the team will return here fo
exhibition games, probably with the
Phillies and Cincinnati Reds.
Tinker hopes to arrange exhibition
games in the south with both the
Boston Braves and Detroit Tigers and
he also plans to stop off at Atlanta
or Birmingham, Chattanooga. Evans
vine and Terre Haute on the way
home.
Manager Bill Clymer is expected
here this week for an extended con
ference with Joe Tinker. There is no
denying that Clymer is far from satis
fied with the present makeup of the
team. He feels that the club needs
more pitching strength and some dis
tance hitters.
For a time he was hopeful of get
ing Vic Saier, formerly with the Cubs
and Pirates, for the first base job,
but Saier has announced his retire
ment from baseball, so the hunt for
a first-sacker is still on. He hopes to
land Bill Hinchman, but whether he
will get him or not is a question
Grover Hartley is averse to return
ing to Columbus, but Tinker and Cly
mer are hopeful that they will be
able to persuade him-to change his
decision in this matter.
In Dave Danforth Columbus has
some valuable trading material, al
though he probably will not be dis
posed of until the major leagues meet
in February. In exchange for him, Co
lumbus hopes to land some pitching
talent. Tinker and Clymer have
lassoed several youngsters, but the
main work of building up the club
is yet to come.

O'DOUL 18 TOUTED AS
COMIilG IMF
Scouts Report "Lefty Frank"
Has Great Winter.
FORM DECLARED GREAT
Double Dose of Strikeouts Given
"Babe" Ruth Cited as Proof of
Southpaw's Ability.
NEW YORK. Jan. 17. Judging
from reports drifting east from the
coast, the Yankees will do well next
spring to give "Lefty Frank" O'Doul
another tryout as a pitcher. This
handsome youngster has apparently
regained the free and untrammeled
use of his wing which was practically
hors de combat throughout the 1919
campaign, and. acceding to Scout
Bob Connery. is one of the slabbing
sensations of California's winter
league. Connery declares, in a letter
received at Yankee headquarters yes
terday, that 0'Ioul has never looked
better than he has this fall.
In one recent game, says Connery's
report, O'Doul pitched against Babe
Ruth's team and plastered two artis
tic strike-outs on the home-run king
himself! This was one engagement
in which the Colossus did not deliver
his customary four-ply sock. What
Huth has since, done to O'Doul's de
livery if anything Is to deponent
unknown.
As Manager Miller Huggins of the
Yankees will doubtless be influenced
to no small degree by Connery's re
port on O'Doul, it now appears certain
that "Lefty Frank" will be tried on
the pitching mound r.ext spring rather
than in the outfield. When right he
has a world of stuff, with fine speed
and brilliant curves attached to splen
did control. He does not take his
baseball as seriously as be might, but
he is still very young and the chances
are that he will settle down. In the
meantii.ie he Is a really good prospect,
a lad who appears to have a bright
baseball future ahead of him.
The Yankees have not yet aban
doned hope that J. Franklin Baker
will be among those present next
season, plying his accustomed trade
in the neighborhood of third base.
Baker said last summer that he will
not be back next year, but never said
it officially or to any of the club
officials, and Huggins has a notion
that maybe he didn't mean it. At
any rate, the mite manager is basing
his plans for 19l'0 on the assumption
that the Trappe mauler will try it
again, in which event Bob Meusel will
be tried in the outfield.
Meusel is the Pacific Coast leaguer
whose all-around skill as a member
of the Vernon outfit led many com
petent observers to label him the
"find" of the year. He's a strapping
big fellow, standing six feet two and
one-half Inches In his stocking feet
and weighing in the neighborhood of
200 pounds, and they do say as how
he's fast, very fast. He is a. third
baseman by inclination and played
96 games at that position last sea
son, but he can also range the out
field on occasion and did so in 56
games this year.
He is a splendid fielder at either
position, but is noted chiefly for his
hitting and base-running ability.
Thus, in 163 games on the coast this
year he compiled a batting average
of .337, stole 31 bases and scored 112
runs. He ground out 221 hits in 655
times at bat. among them being 39
doubles, 14 triples and 14 home runs.
a total of 67 extra base blows.
If .Baker does not return for an
other season with the Yankees, Hug-
gins will be obliged to use Meusel
at third. But the, Yankee leader is
rather hopeful that he can again in
veigle the Maryland farmer into re
considering his determination to re
tire and thus save Meusel for out
field duty. "Hug" is satisfied to
stand pat on his infield and his pitch
ing staff, but wants to remodel his
entire outfield and yearns for a
chance to try the slugging youngster
from the coast on the picket line.
Howard Ehmke and Ira Flagstead
of Detroit. Joe Judge of Washington.
Eddie Cicotte of Chicago and Babe
Ruth of Boston are all preparing to
kick over the traces, it is said, if
their several owners do not "come
through" with contracts to their lik
ing. Ruth signed a th.ee-year con
tract last winter but now repents of
his bargain and insists that this docu
ment be abrogated in favor of a new
and more lucrative one. The others.
it seems, are merely going through
the preliminary motions of a hold
out.
cicotte is reported to have nled a
claim for $15,000 a year and to have
threatened to quit if his demands are
not met. Ehmke and Flagstead have
also asked for substantial increases
and will insist upon being traded if
Nevin cannot see his way clear to
meeting their terms. Judge has is
sued no ultimatum that we know of,
but is supposed to have asked Grif
fith to trade him.
If Flagstead is thrown upon the
market the Yankees will go as high
as the next club in bidding for him
He is not only a clever fielder, but a
mighty hitter and a fair base-runner
He'd be worth almost anything the
Yankees might have to pay for him.
Clark Griffith is running around
talking trade to all who will listen to
him, but offering nothing that any
body wants, chiefly because he hasn't
much of anything to offer. He is
especially keen on grabbing Bobble
Roth of Boston or Ira Flagstead of
Detroit.
The Cubs are planning a long train
ing trip. They will leave Chicago on
February 28, and, barring wrecks
floods and landslides, should be In
Pasadena, their California camp, on
March 3. They will linger in Pasa
dena for about ten days and then set
forth on an exhibition tour through
California, Arizona. New Mexico
Texas and the Western league coun
try. Not more than 24 practice games
will be piayea.
Baseball on the Inside.
By Billy Evans.
BY BILLIE EVANS.
EDDIE COLLINS was put out of a
ball game last year, for the first
time in his big league career of 14
years. From that you might gathe
Collins was not an aggressive ball
player, but such is not the case. 11
you rate a player's aggressiveness on
the way he protests rulings of the
umpire, and the number of times he is
ejected during the summer, Collins is
not aggressive from your point of
view. I have rated aggressiveness on
the way a player battles the opposi
tion, on the way he keeps on trying
regardless of the score, on the way he
protests to the umpire when he be
lieves he had a kick coming, and can
get away with such a protest without
incurring the wrath of that official.
That Is the Eddie Collins type of ag
gressiveness, and it is the worth-while
type. He protests only when he be
lieves he has a kick coming. He
makes his protest in a gentlemanly
manner that wins the respect of the
umpire, rather than incurs his wrath.
Collins got the gate for the first
time last year, and it came within
thrae or four days of the close of the
season. That tended to make the pill
all the more bitter. It was in the
final game of the St. Louis series at
Chicago, if my memory serves me
correctly. That game and three nrc
remained on the schedule. To cinch
the pennant. It was necessary for the
"lite hox to win one more game. In
this particular game Collins started a
bit too late to try to score on a hit to
the infield, and was retired at the
plate on a close play. Collins believed
he was safe, while Umpire George
Hildebrand, who made the decision,
saw the play the other way and called
him out. Hildebrand was squatted
directly over the play as he gave the
decision. Collins, peeved at being
called out. and perhaps equally sore
at himself because of his late start,
picked up a handful of.dirt while lay
ing on the ground and tossed it away.
I don't believe Collins had the slight
est idea where that dust was going
when he threw it. Unfortunately It
landed squarely in the face of Hilde
brand. After that official had gotten
the dirt out of his mouth, ears, eyes
and nose and was able to sneak, he
informed Collins in no mild tone that
he was through. Collins apologized,
so did manager Oleason. so did prac
tically all the other Chicago players,
but to no avail. Hildebrand was in
no mocd to accept an apology.
Ordinarily visiting players rather
rejoice when an opposing home star
gets the gate, but none of them felt
that way about the Collins case. All
the St. Louis piayers sympathized
with Eddie in his plight. They re
gretted Hildebrand found It necessary

"It was the funniest experience I
ever had," said Hildebrand that even
ingr. "AM I could hear those plavers
saying was, 'forget it. George.' "'Let
him back.' 'He didn't mean to do it."
and a hundred other like expressions.
I really felt like reversing myself,
particularly when I learned it was the
first time Collins was ever put out of
a game."
That rather preyed on Hildebrand's
mind, for while we were at dinner
that evening he spoke of the occur
rence a half dozen times, and ex
pressed regrets that he waj the um
pire who had to spoil Collins' record.
About 14 years ago, 1 had an ex
perience somewhat similar to that of
Hildebrand's. I was breaking into
the big show. Lave Cross was play
ing third base for Washington. I
made a decision that Lave didn't care
for. and he told me so. 1 sent him to
the club house. I then learned it was
the first time In his career, extending
over 19 years, th.it he had been sn
treated. A recital of that incident
made Hildberand feel better.

tween picked boxing teams represent
ing Oxford and Cambridge universi
ties have been part of the annual
English sport schedule for many
years and similar contests are not
entirely unknown in the United
States.
it is expected that such meetings
will become more frequent as the
boom in boxing gathers strength. The
tendency in this direction is shown
by a number of recent reports of box
ing activity among the collegians.
Wod comes from I'eoria, 11!.. that the
"Little Conference" has Included box
ing in its list of major sports and that
a championship tournament would be
held next spring.

In the east the university of Penn
sylvania has long been an ardent ad
vocate of boxing for the college ath
lete and has several times suggested
the formation of an intercollegiate
boxing league. At the present time
both Pennsylvania and Penn State
college have the largest squads of
boxers trying for the teams In the
history of the sport. Both squads
are under the instruction of compe
tent coaches and there will be a dual
tournament earily In th.9 spring be
tween the two institutions, as was
the case in 1919. Dartmouth and
other colleges in the east have en
gaged boxing coaches and plan intra
mural tournaments, with the possibil
ity of broader activity within a year
or two.
The plan for a set of international
boxing rules to supersede the an
tiquated .Marquis of Queensberry code
promises to be a subject of consider
able controversy during the coming
months. The army, navy and civilian
board of boxing control in this coun
try recently sent a representative
abroad with the outline for new reg
ulations. Later it was learned that
the International Boxing Federation.

OLD ENGLISH SPUR
a European organization, was also at
work on such a set of rules. It was
further learned that' there was a wide
gulf between the proposed cjes and
that so far as the European authori
ties were concerned there was little
inclination to adopt the American
ideas.
The Amateur Athletic Union has
also issued a notice to all candidates
for places on the American Olympic
games boxins team that the contests
at Antwerp next summer will be con
ducted under the English amateur
boxing rules and that they mutt fa
miliarize themselves with this coda
if they expect to make the team.
These rules dirTer in a number of re
spects from the United States regu
lations and a point winner under the
latter might easily be declared the
loser in a bout fought at Antwerp.
In this connection a portion of the
report of the manager of the A. A. U.
team of boxers who recently returned
from a tournament trip through
Scandinavia is enlightening. All the
bouts were fought under English
amateur rules. The manager writes:
"America learned a lesson from the
tour which will be of great a.id in
preparing a championship combina
tion for the Olympic games. The rules
under which the Americans competed
in Denmark and Sweden are the rules
which will govern the boxing contests
at the Olympic games, namely, the
English amateur boxing rules.
"The judging and scoring of points
under the English rules greatly fa
vors the scientific boxer and no credit
is given for aggressiveness.
