Millard Sanders says that In her races Lou comes to the starting point with a hop, skip and a jump, all wrong from the orthodox point of view, but all right for l.o j Dillon. "In unother horse such conduct would be most reprehensible, and would presage badly for steadiness in a race. Lou Dillon Is so high strung, so full of strength, that she simply can't hold herself; she must danee and prance. lut once in the race no horse . vei g es truer than Lou. The word driver. though the proper technical name, conveys a faise Idea eoncerning the person who si's behind Lou in her races.

She Is given her own wav. with the reins siaek on her back, and tho man behind simply Sires a word of advice at critical points. "Three years ago I found Lou in disgrace on account of what was supposed to be her JDJUBMr.ie frivolity. As acquaintance with Lou Improved I became more and more convinced that she was worthy of the higher education, and so the following season I brought her with my stable on the Crand Clieuit. which includes the tracks at Cleveland. Detroit. Buffalo. Boston. New York. Lexington. Cincinnati, etc. n the Grand Circuit there is a constant change and excitement, and Lou Dillon tried all track; and had bru-hes with all sorts of rivals, and all the time she was gaining in experience and confidence. She had all the benefits of racing and none of the strain. I expect to see her beat even the pacing horse record this year. She ha paring hnr" speed. As an instance of her cnuraa, steadiness.

One advantage that Lou has over most horses is that we can give her the utmost freedom. She wears no check rein or martingale. Her head Is not forced up like the heads of other horses Then, again, her legs are not swathed like those or other horses. She wears only at pair of shin boots and a light pair of garter boots, while her shoes are the lightest ever worn by a fast trotter, her front shoes weighing 4U ounces each and her hind shoes 2 ounces each."

George R. Tompkins, Cross-

Country Rider and Trainer, Apple J (Is the Sport. XO GOOD AMATEURS Gentlemen Riders of To-Day Are Vastly Inferior to Keene and Others. NKW YORK. Feb. 20.-Gwyn R. Tompkins, than whom th re is no greater modern author on steeplechusing in the best and the practical sense of the term, is inclined to be somewhat partl::l to the sport and the riders of some dozen or fifteen years ago. Making till discounts for the fact that Mr. Tompkins was an expert in the saddle ui the time of which he speaks, and making allowances also for the- fact that he now is one of the most exiert trainers of cross-country horses that this country ever had, his opinion still is worth very much and it is encouraging to find that he applauds the very worthy and successful way in which the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association is working toward improving this most int. resting and most picturesque branch of sport. Possibly In one particular, while he speaks with accurate known dg( , be scarce does justice to our amateurs, though possibly this Is due to the faet that our amateurs do not do sufficient justice to themselves by appearing so infrequently in public as they now do. There isn't any doubt that there is just as much and Just as skillful riding across-country, in our hunt clubs, for example, as there ever was; but, somehow, there has not been, up to date, the continued enthusiasm in public racing which prevailed at the period of which Mr. Tompkins speaks. That it will do so, and within a very brief space of time, admits of no doubt. Meanwhile, however, Mr. Tompkins's opinions are very interesting. In answer to the- question of the comparative merits of the amateur und professional riders of the past und the present, he is quoted: "The steeplechase riders, both amateur and professional, were much better ten or fifteen years ago than they are to-duy. We have no such amateur riders now as we hud fifteen years ago. Why, they were veritable giants of the pigskin then. There u i re Jack Cheever, George Work. E. C. La Montagne, Elliott Zborowski, Foxhall Keene, Captain Thorne and last, but not least, poor Harry liar wood. "The latter was, in my estimation, the greatest rider of cross-country horses in America. "Tie had perfect hands, a beautiful seat, and was an excellent judge of pace, in a finish he was a regular whirlwind, a la Garrison. He was brave to recklessness, and would not allow any horse to master him. It was the latter spirit which brought about his death. He determined to master Warre-nton, an erratic brute, and In forcing him over a fence was thrown heavily and killed. Poor Harry! His like has not been em in the Huddle since. The amateur riders of to-day are far different from the old set. In the clays of long ago a' man was willing to take any horse offered him tor the sake of the sport. Your presentday amateur is far different, however. Ho will not accept a mount unless he scans the list of entries over the night before and s. i. i ts th- horse which appears to him to have the best chance. Ho docs not care to ride for the sport of the thing, but is out merely for a grand-stand display. "The present-day professional, with one or two exceptions, is very bad. The majority are more like butchers than riders. At least half of them must have three or four drinks in them before they will accept a mount. Th y are poor judges of pace, and know little or nothing of how to assist a horse through a field. There are no auch riders now as George Sutcliffe, Harvey Welch, Hugh Qaffney, John Hyland, Pat Meaney. Charlie Sait, Mike Murphy. Jack Grtflln, William Mil ley, W. Fitzpatrick and others of their kind. "Jimmy Mara, who rides for J. W. Colt, my employer. Is the best rider in Alfirlf a Jimmy is a wonder in his way. He is thirty-eight years old and the father of ten children. He fairly bubbles over with enthusiasm for hard labor. He never complains, whether he has to work twenty horses or two horse.-. He takes everything that comes along with a cheerful smile, and is always ready to do a little more than is asked of him. "Mara is not only of a cheerful disposition, but he is a thoroughly competent horseman and Jockey. He takes excellent care of his horse throughout a race, never tries to interfere or impede another's progress, but is always ready to accept every little advantage of the race which will help him toward success. He is strong and fearless. and, as he Is strictly honest. I have no hesitancy in saying that he is the greatest steeplechase rider of the day." "How do the horses compare?" "In Lavator and Land of Clover, the two best horses of this season, we have two of the greatest thoroughbreds that ever went over a steeplechase course. Both are fast, can carry weight, and jump wetL I have seen horse run fast trials on the flat. They are fully the equals of such horses as Burke Cochran, Post Guard, Piavolo, Trouble. Dead Head. Highland Fling, Bertha. Lobelia, Milesian and Can Can. The latter I owned and trained, and I betters she was the greatest cross-country mare in America. No Journey was too long for her, no pace too fast, and she could figuratively speaking carry a ton." Itiub, .Scores flTClf . ST. LOCIS. Feb. 20. According to letters received by friends of Ben Rigby, the former St. Louis jockey and once a wellknown figure around the smaller tracks of this city, Benny has made a big success of his European carter and has put away a big sum out of his earnings on the continental tracks. Rigby is now settled in Paris, France, and is said to reside in a handsome Mat in a reasonably good quarter of the city. His wife has upward of f3MM hi her own name, it is said, the results of careful saving of money made by Benny on the various French traeks. and the couple art now most comfortably settled. Henny writes that he intends to return to this city in the middle of the summer and will spend a time h. re w itching the taeing of the world's fair period. He has engagements at the French tracks for May and June, but will get here toward the i lose of the latter mouth. Trotting t Worth. CHICAGO. 111.. Feb. 20.-Some of the leading light harness devotees in this city are urging Mr. Wagner and his associates in the Worth Jockey Club to give a trotting meeting at the Chicago Ridge plant. It is believed that should the dates. July 4 to M, be occupied some of the best (Jrand Circuit mau rial could be induced to co:ue here prior to the opening of the Grand Circuit at letroit the third week In July. There wis a time wlun the harness game was great in Chicago, and it is the opinion of the best -posted followers of the sport in this section that the tire. is ripe for a rc1 of it here.

TOM SHARKEY. Who Will Meet Jack Munroe at Philadelphia. SAILOR SHARKEY Nil TO 184 He Will Tip the Scales at About 180 When He Faces Jack Munroe This Week. MIXER IS COXFIDEXT NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Tom Sharkey, who will Indulge in a six-round fight with Jack Munroe at Philadelphia on Feb. 27, says he now weighs 184 pounds, and that he will tip the scale at 180 when ho climbs into the ring. The muscular sailor weighed exactly 180 pounds when he put up his memorable twenty-five round fight against Champion Jeffries three years ago. He says that although he has been training steadily for seven weeks there is no danger of growing stale, and that he expects to win the battle in two rounds. Sharkey realizes that in Munroe he will meet an antagonist who Is taller and heavier than himself, but he believes the miner lacks science, and will be unable to withstand his terrific punches. "Spike" Sullivan, at whose place in Shecpshead bay Sharkey will flnsh his training, says the sailor never was In better shape In his life, that he can hit harder, is faster in very way and better fitted to take punishment than at any previous period in his c:ir.r. "Hf will go after Munroe from the first sound of the RonR." Sullivan says, "and th.-re will be DO time for fancy sparring. It will be give and take and the tight will be quickly won by Sharkey. Then Tom will immediately post a forfeit for a fight with Jeffries for the championship of the world, his greatest ambition." Me"y, who 1h training: Munroe, is equally confident. The wily "Kid" says that Sharkey will he an easy mark for the reason that Munroe can outpunch him and outK.uiie him in a BTUellins; slugging match. Sharkey is essentially a "swinger," not a straight puncher. He has had experience with the best men in the world. Munroe, it might be said, is practically learning the boxing game from McCoy, which will be a disadvantage unless he possesses a remarkably cool head under fire. A big crowd will go from this city to see the mill. CRITICS NOT BLUFFED BY PRIZE FIGHTERS NEW YORK. FMB. 20. "The helpless man, whose fate is to beard pugilistic lions in their dens, is not always as helpless rs one would expect, and there are some instances on record whore a really good fighter and even a champion has had to back water to the 'pencil pusher,' " said a New York newspaper man recently. The talk started as a result of discussion over the effort of a New York actor to whip a critic. The former gave very little and took away much more than he had bargained for. Tom Sharkey was a spectator at the ringside of the Gus Kuhlin-Peter Maher battle in Philadelphia three years ago. Before the men got in the nag a newspaper correspondent was stopped by öhaikey as he was passing. "Idily Brady has just promised nie the first chance at Jeffries," said Thomas. "All right," replied the newspaper man and pnssed on to see Brady, who sat in a box at some distance. When Brady was asKed about it he was managing the champion at the time he declai ed that lie had not spoken to the saUor m several months. Returning to Shaikey the newspaper man said: "What's the use of telling me an untruth.'" Bü üy has not promised you a figiu with Jcr'trics. ' "D'ye mean to say I lie?" roared Sharkey, jumping out of ins seat and doubling up one of his fists. "II you like to put .t that way," calmly replied the newspaper man, "you certainI do." "I 11 punch you ii. the Jaw"' exclaimeu Sharkey. "I don't think you will," r.aid the newspaper man. never ehanging his msitiun. And Sharkey didn't. Early m his championship career John L BuulTaa did not take kindly to newspaper criticism. But he got over that after a while and never even growled, no matter what was sal '. about him. Away Imck in isv! Sullivan was billed to box at Croahelm's Tbeattr in Rotrtken. The authorities in evented the bout and John erroneously blaam-d a nespaper for the action of the police. P. J. Donahue "P. Jay" was then writInn pugilism for the New York World. He as on a Pennsylvania tram leavini; Jersey City one night when Sullivan and Billy .Madden hove on I m!. John bs h id been tilting the tulips :-!'ied D.-nahue and fiopped down in the seat b Ida him. "You're a tine friend, you are!" began Sullivan with a roar which usually scared ; . V ofi' tbeir feet. "Waat s the trouule now, John?" asked Donahue. "You stopped my boxing at Cronheim's, (!:ln't yen?' said John. Donahue began to explain that he hadn't flom anything Of the kind, w'uch was true, but Sullivan interrupted him. Tve a good mind to swat you one in the jaw." he growled, raising that mighty paw threateningly. Doc... line was n- xt the window anl was pockatad. Ho could rwt get past PuUiran to escape. It was Stimmer and Donahue had on a s h. nt jacket. He put his hand in the side pocket next to Sullivan and cooly said. . lb, no you won't John. You'll never let thnt hand fall. You are quick with it, I know, but not qu.te ao qujci as a buliet. If you .!'-:i't put it down now I'll pump some ie id into your ribs." Sullivan let the paw fall on Donahue's knee and laughed. You ie all right. Pete." he said. "You haven't any more gun than I have, but you're a game fellow and I like you for it. Shnke hands. Foil of courage himself. Sullivan idn't help admiring the same virtue In another, and Donahue's bluff no doubt saved him from a cluuting.

Shreve. Who Pitched for the Ok! St. Louis Clul). W as a Wonder in His Daw

FRESHEST BOY IX GAME ; He Had Awful Speed. Good Curves and Perfect Control of the Ball. CLE Vi: LAND, Feb. 20. "Among the many characters with whom I came in contact as a ball player," said Georg Meyers, the old-time star catcher of the Nailonal League, "there was probably none so unique as Shreve, the pitcher. Ht Joined our team while I was catching for St. Louis, coming to us from some college. My, but he was a fresh youth. For all that, he could pitch. He had awful speed and good curves and perfect control of the ball. His confidence and egotism were astounding. I remember one day we were to play against Detroit. It was when the big four Rowe, White, Rltchardson and Brouthers were on the team. Mr. Shreve. who had been assigned to pitch, strutted to the box with the swagger that would have made John L. Sullivan look cheap when John L. was monarch of them all in the fistic bosteessj. 'Just watch me, fellows, and see what I do to those swell-headed guvs from Michigan,' said the smiling Shreve. 'I'm going to make cm look like a lot of suckers.' "Hardy Richardson was the first batter up, und you know what kind of a hitter he was. " 'Oh, ho! So you are the great invincible Hardy Richardson, eh?' drawled Mr. Shreve. 'Well. Hardy, old chap, I'm going to show you that you are easy for a good pitcher; regular mince pie. I am going to fan you out, Mr. Richardson. " George, where did you get this fresh mug?' asked Hardy of me. 'He's a kid we picked up down the road." I replied. "Shreve let go the first ball and it went around Hardy's neck like a shot. He struck at it after I h;ol it In my hands. Bang goes the second, also a strike, and the third a wide, slow out-shoot, fooled the great batter completely ami Shreve said mockingly: 'Back to the bench, Hardy, 1 told you that you were easy.' MBtg Dan Brouthers. who was always a terroi to pitchers, came next and he had blood in his eye. Hee. Hee! So this is the terrible Mr. Dan Brouthers.' grinned the fresh pitcher. I hate to tell you. Dan, how soft a mark you are. I hope you don't think that you are going to reach first base; you'll be disappainted if you think so. You might hit some pitchers, but you are just my meat.' Dan missed the first two. which went close to his chin, and the next he hit like a shot at the pitcher. Shreve caught it in easy style and gave Brouthers the ha, ha. in the most tantalizing manner as Dan ambled to the bench. "Deacon White came next and Shreve killed him unmercifully. 'Deacon, who told you that you could hit anything?' was the greeting White was given. The deacon scowled and muttered ominously. 'Duck soup is what you are for me,' sang Shree as White missed the first ball by several inches. 'Oh, how easy,' was the next reJoinder, and Deacon smashed blindly at an outshoot, a moment later striking out on one of the speedy ones. "The big four could do absolutely nothing with Shreve's delivery, and the other members of their team were Just as helpless. We. won the game 3 to L This fellow Shreve was one of the best pitchers I ever met. but he was an erratic chap, and dreadfully hard to handle. "I recall another occasion when the Chicago club, which then led the league, came to play a series on our home grounds. Shreve, who had been missing for two or three days, came on to the grounds in uniform just as the teams were practicing. The manager, on seeing him, immediately assigned him to pitch. Shreve then came over to me and asked: 'Say. George, what team is this we are up against to-day?' "I immediately began to read him a lecture, telling him that a young man Just starting on his career as a professional ball player should not deport himself in such manner. 'The idea of you coming on to these grounds when the champion Chicagos are here, and you not knowing it. why 1 " 'The champion Chicagos.' interrupted Shreve. Never mind. George, just watch me. Oh. Just wait and see what I will do to that bunch.' And sure enough that crazy monkey went in and shut out that heavy hitting Chicago team. He was simply a wonder. "In another game he had Foster, the great base runner, at bat, and he took occasion to tell Foster what a poor base runner he was. He purposely gave Foster his baaa on balls and then turning to the speedy runner, Shreve said: 'Now, Mr. Champion Base Runner, let us see you get down to second. Foster led off a few feet from the bag, and like a bullet the ball went over to the first baseman. A moment later Shreve pitched one to me. and Foster darted for second. He really did prove easy, for Shreve g-avo him but a poor start. We caught him by ten feet going to second. I could tell story after story about this man Shreve. If he had taken care of himself he would have been the greatest pitcher in baseball history." IKK IO KOS WON THREE !N THE M. T. H. S. SERIES Standing of Teams.

O'ROL RKE S LONG CAREER

His Son Played on Vale 'Varsity Team and Then Joined His Father's Team. Twelve years cover the career )f an average professional baseball player. There are exceptions to the rule, but they are not numerous. George Van Haltren, who will not be seen in a New York NationalDengue uniform this year, but who will play ball on the Pacific coast, is the oldest veteran in active service to-day, barring Jimmy Pyan, Jim O'Rourke, who still catches, and catches well, for Bridgeport, and Jim McGuire, again to be in harness in the American League. Van Haltren joined the Chicagos under Anson nearly eighteen years ago. He came from California as a left-handed pitcher, and he continued to be effective when he played under John M. Ward in the Brooklyn Brotherhood club in lil). Always careful as to his habits, "Old Van" remained in splendid condition from year to year and was a shining example for other members of the profession to follow. O'Hocike has had an even longer career than Van Haltren. His son played on the Yale 'Varsity team two years ago, and then joined his father's Bridgeport team. It was a unique spectacle last summer when Father James made a quick line throw from behind the bat to second to h- ad off a base stealer and his talented son cauaht the ball for a swift put-out. Jim McGuire has been in the major leagues all of eighteen years, and is still one of the best catchers in the country. He was with Detroit last season and was as good as ever. Charley Farrell, of the Boston Americans, is still in harness, after a campaign of sixteen years, and a great catcher he has been, too, his work with the New Yorks when he handled the terrific bombanling of Kusie and Meekin in 1JÄM, the Temple cup year, being well remembered by the fans all over the country. Tom Daly, another veteran, is doomed to the minor leagues this year. Anson took him from Newark along with Pitcher Pyle In 188S and Daly was quickly pronounced the star catcher of the business. As a thrower and a catcher of foul flics he was in a class by himself, even excelling the great Ewing and Charley Bennett in this respect. Jacob Beckley is another veteran who Is still able to play up to major league requirements. He was first baseman of the Plttsburgs In 1S87, and at one time was the champion batsman of the National League. Another old timer is Jimmy Ryan, of last ysarS Washingtons. He Joined Anson's Chicagos as a pitcher, and was soon made an outfielder because of his batting. Last summer at the local American League grounds Ryan mude some phenomenal catches and throws, In addition to hitting the ball for keeps. He is mentioned as the manager of the Kansas City Western League club this year, provided he can get his release from Washington. Lave Cross, Jack Doyle, George Davis, Charlie Zimmer and Jack O'Connor are the other notable players who have been in the big leagues more than a dozen years and are still at it. As star players drop into seclusion and younger men take their places, so oldtime cranks give way to the rising generation of rooters. How many rooters of today remember the champion Detroits of IVnT? What has become of this great ball team? Charley Bennett, the catcher, who lost both legs in a railroad accident. Is the proprietor of a cigar store in .Detroit. Charley Ganzel. the other catcher, has retired, while his brother John is playing first base for the New York Americans. "Lady" Baldwin and Getzein. the two leading pitchers, have dropped out of sight. Dan Brouthers. the big first baseman and In his time the best batter in the world, is running a hotel at YVappinger's Falls, N. Y. Fred Dunlap, probably the most graceful and at the same time the most spectacular second baseman that ever played ball, is dead. Jack Rowe, the short stop, is a livery stable keeper in Buffalo. "Deacon" White, the third baseman, has retired, an3 is well tixed. Sam Thompson, who got out of the game four years ago, is living in Michigan. Hardie Richardson's whereabouts are not known, while the other members of this star outfit, Kdward HanIon. is manager of the Brooklyns. The champion Chicagos, who took the pennant in IbSö and 1SS6, have also been forgotten by a majority of modern baseball enthusiasts. Anson's finish was with the New Yorks in 1896. He lasted about twenty days, when Freedman let him go. Then he opened a billiard room in Chicago. He was the star baseball captain of his day. and he had the happy faculty of surrounding himself with brainy players. Death ha.removed several of the men who helped to make Chicago and Anson famous on the diamond. "Silver" Flint, the catcher who was behind the bat all the time, one might say; Mike Kelly, "the flO.OUO beauty;" big Ed Williamson and Tommy Burns have all passed away. Fred Pfeffer, the crack second baseman, is living in Chicago, and plays an occasional game. George Gore, the center fielder, is a railroad detective, with headquarters in this city. William Sunday, the right fielder, is a minister of the gospei. John Clarkson, the flO.OuO pitcher, is in the cigar business in Saginaw, and his brother Walter, another remarkable pitcher, is the captain of the Harvard 'varsity nine. Jim McCormick, another great pitcher in his time, is a resident of Paterson, N. J. Goldsmith and Larry Corcoran, also star pitchers under Anson, have not been heart! of for years. How many of the present stars in the big leagues will be playing ball in 1916, or twelve years from no and how many cranks then will be familiar with the characteristics of the Boston world's champions and the Pittsburg pennant winners of 1904? A OXE-ARMED PITCHER. Rochester Only Club in Country to Possess a Phenom. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Feb. 20.-The Rochester baseball club has a phenomenon in Pitcher Griffith, who has Just been signed in Philad lphla by Manager George Smith. He is without doubt the only onearmed pitcher of any prominence in the game. Griffith Is not signed by Rochester because he Is a physical freak. He is taken ui is merits as an excellent man at his posuiou. Those who hive seen him say that nature has given his remaining arm much of the strength lost by the amputation of the other. He is said t have all the speed and better control than most two-armed pitchers, and that the most startling features of his ability is his fielding. They say he stops batted balls with grace ?nd quickness and that his assists arc of the same order. Griffith is from Philadelphia. He has baea m receipt of many offers from minor leasruea, but refused on account of hiv family being opposed to his playing professional ball. He now has their consent. He weighs 1M pounds and stands five faet eleven inches high. His age is twenty-seven years. Rochester admirers of the game say that if he makes good he is bound to be a splendid drawing card to the team throughout the aaaaao. Jockey Uichnrd Will Sail. NEW YORK. Feb. 20. Jockey Joseph Richards, who is under contract to ride for Baron Bloch in Russia this year, has made up his mind that the best thing he can do is to start for the other side at the earliest possible date, and in spite of the fjM t that his cablegrams to St. Petersburg remain unanswered, he has engaged passage on a steamer to sail next Tuesday. 'The going or the staying of a jockey is not a matter of great importance." said a man. well versed in Russian racing affairs, in the Hoffman House "But I know I gave him good advice when I told him to get on Ids way. This talk alw.ut the war with Japan having the slightest effect upon sport in Russia is the most awful bosh. Every reverse that the Russian arms may receive, whether on sea or land, will serve only as a further incentive to the entertainment of the sport-loving people. Those high in authority in Russian affairs will see to it that the news of the war is not too widely disseminated, and it may be years before the elasses ever know what has been uoing on."

Corbett has set at rest the reports that he was thinking of fighting Bb Fitzsimmons or anyone else by stating emphatically that he had retired temporarily from the ririR. and would devote himself to the theatrical business for the next two years at least, unless someone would guarantee him a $50.000 purse, which h" did not think was likely. When seen Just prior to his departure for the West at his home overlooking Little N-ck bay at Bayside. L.
