THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, SUlAY MOENING, DECEMBER 10, 1905 Page of Sports for Hors Socket 'Men EFFORTS BEING MADE TO HAVE WORK HORSE PARADE A W- ''It would seem but timely to begin arranging for an aunual work borse parade, such es we had in London and Boston. is none too early to begin preparations-for the same, and the writer thinks the Team Owners Protective Association, as well as the Drivers organization, should take up the subject, since if is of vital interest to both bodies, and at the same time such an annual demonstration would eclipse all former public demonstrations by the horse. By all means let us have an annual parade of the horse of profit and service, at the same time not forgetting tho steed of pleasure. Give the steed that feeds himself and many others a day of showing. A wtr.k horse parade is due in this town, then why not begin to arrange it or forever cease advocating such a demonstration? Blood will tell, and breeding lines how themselves sooner or later.

The following on the world champion pacer as a beginner in begetting speed ia very interesting; 'Oine of the get of the champion pacer, Dan Patch. 1.55V4. that will probably be raced In her sire stable next season is the pacing mare rl FajH T. Driving clubs are simplr nothing more or less that what enthusiastic members make them. In this city we have a number of tbem.

more than condition warrant, yet they seem to exist. If not live, hoping season in and season out for a betterment of conditions. Looking iu vain for the star of hope, and failing to see its light yet they live on. leading an existence largely borrowed one day from another. In this season of expectant realizations each and every driving club must remember conditions us tbev exist and reorganize ac-cordlnzlv for 1906.

Perhaps the comlnjr year will not give us the just recognition we exjpect. but let us not despair, since the time Is soon coming, and at that not far distant, when the horsemen of Pennsylvania will shake hands with those of Ohio in a Just battle won at' the polls. It is rather late to bring np this subject, but in the trend of general discussions don't overlook the horse and his Interest. Whether-raced for pleasure or for profit he remains with us king of our thoughts, and one that we love day In and day out. since he Is stepping for us devoteoly from sunrise to sunset.

Faithful with us in sport and at the same time loyal to us as a general servant in our every day business. In fact when one considers It the horse of work and profit be Is preferable to the steed of luxury and expense. Speedy animals have bad from time to time their innings on the track and speedway, but at no time have any of yon thought of the dear, good, faithful work horse. He speeds not on a track but only In ft hot effort to make trsln time and shipments. Surely such a faithful steed Is jnst as much deserving as the matinee performer with due rest In a -well protected box stall.

Let os all for the time forget the daintily nursed stepper on our racing tracks and turn our thoughts to the borse who makes our Hying. The horse of work, not the horse of sport. Is after all th. one who deserves to be nearest to our hearts, since the horse of work assures a certain Income, while the racing steed takes chances in the great struggle for the money. Put it down -as a fact the work borse buttered more bread and filled the family larder more than all the crackerlacks In the racing field.

Now the foregoing suggests but one thought from a viewpoint of the loyal lover ef the horse. Our aneedr steeds we must consider, but doo't overlook the arrival whose earning; capacity makes it possible for many of us to place money on pleasure steeds, namely, the work horae. our everyday equine servant. in warinna aocHons of the country we Bite 1 wie-2, I "f4 4. jr yr WENTWORTH, 2.04 1-2 The Greatest Trotting Gelding of the Past Season.

Hersey. who drives tan Patch, began working the mare in oriier to give her a standard record, and he found that she worked so cleverly for him thst be believes she will be a great race mare. In one race in which she was started to see how she would act she raced like a seasoned campaigner, and was separately timed in 2.13V&. and a little later she was worked in 2.10. If she proves to be in foal her foal will be taken away from ber and raised on a bottle, so that she may fo on and race later in the season.

With these wo pacers in his stable. Hersey thinks be will have an excellent chance to start Dan Patch's 2-05 list with two of his get next yesr." Naturally our track racing here and hereabouts has ended, but It seems the merrv whirl of speed must be kept up, no matter where or on what conditions our light harness steeds step. The following from an exchange gives us an idea of an ice racing circuit, which Is preferable to a home matinee in the teeth of a marrow chilling gale, such as we had on Thanksgiving "Canadian horses racing on the ice will open at Dufferin Park Toronto, in the latter part of December, and the season gives promise of being one of the largest and most successful In tne history of the sport. From the Toronto track the racers will go to Fort Perry. Lindsay, Peterborough.

Plctou, Belleville. Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal. From February 3 to 10 the Ice track on the Ottawa River will be the scene of some of the finest sport ever witnessed in Canada, for the Central Canada Racing Association will again put on ice races. The events under this association's management have without exception been the most satisfactory, for both com pe titer- and spectators, ever held In Canau." Among onr city driving clubs the nominating sea so a will begin to-morrow with the meeting of the North Tenn Trotting Association. At this meeting.

In addition to regulation routine business, the chief object of the call for the same will be to name officers and directors to serve for the ensuing year. It Is easy to nominate, and another question to eleat, but, aside from the question of subsequent election, name those only who if elected will faithfully serve. This saggestion applies not alone to the North Penn Association, but others due to name officers to serve for 190fl. Although the majority nominating meetings are yet to come, but tbev should heed the advance notice and name only those who II elected will be more than mere ornamental officials. The trouble has been in the past that the verv zealous officials make enemies in striving to "do their work, very frequently at the expense of time and money.

Few realize official responsibility, and perhaps a who have not tasted official honors had better serve during the coming yar. The new owner of Cresceus. 2.021,. the present king of trotting stallions, announces that this great horse will be trained next year with a view to further reducing his record.

Nothing succeeds like success, and that la the slogan of the Philadelphia League. Stamp out the smoking.

The sport is gaining friends and followers everywhere, and some of the critics agree without hesitation that within three years it will be generally ire cognized throughout the country as the popular winter Indoor game. The Philadelphia League is over a week old. and not yet disbanded. Not much livelihood that it ever will, either. Jasper has "lines out for Willie Dunn the old Penn Wheelmen favorite.

He is a student In the preparatory department, preparing for the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he should prove a valuable addition to the base ball and basket ball squads. The election received the approval of the Board of Coaches and the Faculty Athletic Committee. On Monday evening. December H. Centenary will line up against Yaleniar in a West Philadelphia Amateur League game at St.

Ford shot goals in such easy fashion in that Beacon game that the Kensington rooters gasped astonishment at the lanky De Neri forward.

The popularity of the Philadelphia League is even greater than last season. Fred Cooper will look after the Tigers at Princeton this winter. Fred has been coaching basket bailers at the college town for the last three years. Young Donahue shot foul goals' a la Jack Reynolds against De Neri. He is the man Beacon wants for that fifteen-foot line.

Jasper second has secured WThittaker from the Boys' Club to jump centre. The season of 1905-08 is surely going to be banner year, judging from the interest now the sport. The management of the Boys' Club should consider themselves fortunate in having a pair defense men like Johnny Gruber and Johnson. The forwards against these boys have great trouble In getting near their basket for shot, the result being a slim tally for the visitors. Tba management of the Boys' Club have everything in readiness for the game Wednesday evening between the Trinity first and sec-end, of the Interchurch League, and the Boys' Club.

Trinity feels confident of a victory, and will bring a big following to root for them. The Boys Club feel lust as confident as their rivals, and a hard game will ba the result. Bridesburg made no mistake in picking tip Hcnschel. The Philadelphia League scores made to date certainly indicate a close and exciting race. Eberle Is playing a rattling good game at forward for the Speedwells.

Seeing such names as Grisdale. and Batterfihv back in harness reminds one of the old Nice-town Y. M. A. days.

The Y. M. A. hart two r-lr i cr-w-rt man Hv 1 i awvr uauiv, ana 1 1 men play as good as their a a had much heralded and very liberally written tin descriptions of various road drivers parades. With no tboneht of detracting from these exhibitions stimulating, as they have, the purchase of speedy roadsters, the practical horsemen cannot overlook the horae of service when corsldered with the steed raced and driven larcelv for pleasure.

The work horse Is surely a bread winner, while the steed, that steps either In circuit, campaign, or matinee performances is anv uncertain factor with the certainty that win of lose he is an expensive luxury. Not so with the horse who works for us daily. He is forgotten In the daily stepping, not on our tracks, but upon our highways delivering rather hauling mine and everybody's shipments. Coming the season of gladsome recognition. It mav be verr timely asked why not at this t'me.

when you are not racing, arrange for a demonstration of work horses? Let Philadelphia be In line with London and Boston in a work horse parade. The demonstrations In both cities were great, vet the writer feels that with proper effort such a demonstration in this city would equal if not eclipse any similar demonstrations held elsewhere Among a few this subject has been casually discussed and while individuals have warmly idea, no concerted effort has been made to effect substantial exhibition of a very meritorious turn ont. Pleasure drivers we may have but work horses we must have. Then, w'hv "not give the horse of necessity one day of exhibition as egainst the horse Of everyday sDort and pleasure, remembering that the hore who hauls a truck Is Just as dear if rmt dear- er us than the well groomed steed who pulls' lightweight speeding wagon on out-tracks and Speedway. The work of one is that of daily toll, while the effort of the other is limited to mere exhibition performances.

It is due then. In all Justice to rive the work horse dav Just as well as the light driver, since the former wo must have, aud the latter sim- 1 ply a question cf whim and pleasure.

In cutting down the second team games to 15-minute halves the Philadelphia League did wise and sensible move. Basket ball spectators do not, care about staring in a hall until 11. 30 or near 13 o'clock for the sake of seeing a esme. An earlv start and prompt work-in getting the teams on the floor will do away with some of these tiresome delays. Players who jump away from a certainty for an uncertainty should not grumble a few weeks later about their lot.

No lover of organized ball cater to a "Hopper." and the sooner the leagues get together on this point the better it will be for all hands concerned. Mulllner. Mayham aud Marshall would fit In quite handily with some of those weak fellows, but the Trenton players seem to prefer independent ball to league strife. Basket ball Is certainly the popular Indoor srort among PhUadelphians. That th? championship of the Philadelphia Lee rue will be one worth winning this season is acknowledged even by the bitterest ene-rries the league has.

The fight for positions this season promises to be the greatest ever known in the snort. All followers of the major league are looking forth to next Wednesday night, when the rhlladelphians entertain in their first theatre benefit. The North Phillies' second have a pretty good1 look-in for the second team championship. The Kensington Stars that defeated East Falls on Thanksgiving afternoon had in its line-up, besides McGraw and Obenmler, of Jasper, two players from the Boys' Club team, Riley and Whitaker, and It was through these youngsters' scoring that Manager Hess' team was defeated. Riley dropping 6, and Whitaker 5 goals from field.

John "Pat" Riley. Kelly. Whitaker. Gruber. Johnson and Kay are the combination that is noon, to discuss matters in relation to the A.

Is taking a lot of interest in local bowling affairs this season. Quite a following of bowling will turn out on Wednesday to witness that Brooklyn match on the Central alleys. Dunbar will be up against Johnny Nelson again, and Smith will also accompany the team. The Church League. Sparta and Manufacturers knock out 200 scores regularly every week.

Plenty of hot air next Wednesday night when the Casino League opens. When Captain Dungan gets his string at strikes working there is no stopping him. Daymou's ten strikes looked like a S0O score, but he fell down on the eleventh ball, leaving up the 10 pin. getting 28B. Kelly rolled 221 and paid 2o cents.

Hard lock, KaL If you want to set the sweeps roc bsv got When it is taken into consideration that the Toronto University team had been traveling all the previous day. the showing the players made against All-Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day was very creditable. There was an attendance of 2500 at the Philadelphia Ball Park when the teams faced ei-ch other. Considering that It was a bitterly cold morning, it was more than could have been expected. The three to rothing victory of the All-Philadelphia eleven sent the people home on good terms with themselves.

T. Green's goal was a beauty. F. Hlghfield played a star game. O.

Strachen was the best man on the Toronto team, although Robert in goal ran him close. Williams, the Toronto inside left, was greatly at fault with his shooting. He should have scored at least a couple of goals. Campbell. Jamie and Masson proved a stumbling block to the Toronto forwards.

The All-Philadelphia team of eonrse came In for criticism before the tame. Not much fault was found with the make-up of the eleven after the game. The visitors were not ouite familiar with the F.nglish rules, and in i-onsequence quite a number of fouls were given against them. A surprisingly large number of ladies braved the wintry weather. One fair damsel kept herself warm by hugging ber escort by way of applause whenever a good piece of play took place.

There was quite a lot of good play. On Thanksgiving day afternoon the New York Caledonians, champions of the Metropolitan League, came to Philadelphia and conquered tht Hibernians hv three iroals to two. Another ir.justlee to Ireland, which the Hibs intend to put right ere loag. Another surprise. Germantown defeated 5Ie-rion on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day iu a Cricket Club League gaiue.

Germantown deserved to win. Belmont was unable to get the hetter of Philadelphia on the same day. A draw of two goals each was the result. The Canadians put it all over the Associated Cricket Club's eleven at Wissahicknn. At only one period did the Cricketers have a look-in, when they scored a goal In the first mlnute.

P. N. Le Roy. H. G.

Pearson and J. Gallagher were a way- the pick of the home turn. Robert. Blackwood. Strachan.

Stiver and Reesor played an excellent game for the win-nrs. The spectator were very enthusiastic, not numerous. Although beaten by five goals to one Penn put uo a surprisingly good game against Toronto University on Franklin Field last Saturday. The had state of the cround made accurate play almost out of the uuestion. The Toronto team admired the pluck of the Peunsvlvanians.

Manager Reid highly praised the manner in which the Penn ulsyers stuck to their aurts. In fact the whole of the Toronto team expressed themselves as delighted and surprised at the knowledge of the game shown by the Penn players. Howebin was the bright particular star of the Pen a team. He merit the kiebest praise for his brilliant nlay at full-back. His tackling good and his kicking always long and accurate.

H. H. James showed any stnocnt of rrlt. He entered the came with a shaky knee and after he was iniured coiitinnd playing aud had the satisfaction of scoring Penu's solitary goal. Penn was beaten but not disgraced.

Well 1 played. Perm. Penn should stand a splendid chance of winning the intercollegiate championship. The Toronto players exuressed themselves as delighted with their trip. They want to come again.

Merlon experienced bad luck in not drawing with Hibernians. The Hibs were three goals to the good before Merion commenced to score. In the last ten minutes the cricketers played np wondarfully and scared a eouule of goals in ouiek succession and experienced hard luck in not drawing level in the last minute. Christy Morris missed the net by inches onlv. D.

Pollock played a wonderful game for Hibs at fnll-back. In fact he was the whole team. Fnll-back is Pollack's proper place on the Falls, with two substitutes on the team, defeated Thistles at Sixth and Clearfield streets last Saturday by two goals to one. The all round nlar of Falls won the admiration of the spectators and at the close of the game C. Masson.

the Falls rieht back, was carried off the field hv an enthusiastic crowd of admir ers. Jensen. Ball and LeiUy played splendidly Tor tne wmners. Haverfonl College lost their first Ci'cket Club League game to Germantown by three coals to two. It is doubtful if the collegians will retain their hold on the cup tais season.

Taylor and Htghfield. of Albion, are probably the best lert wings in tne euy. Albiot ran American Eagle off their feet last Saturday. I he Kacles were not satisfied. however, and protested vehemently agaipst the decisions of E.

Waldron. the referee. It is best to take defeat eraeefully. The last of the matter has not been beard, ana in all probability trouble is brewing for somebody. Boys' Club of New York found the Philadelphia teams anything but easy.

Staten Island nlays Belmont at Elmwood on December 16. The struggle should be a hot one. J. M. Candlish was hurt earlv In the came between Albion and Eagles and was obliged to leave the field.

For the remainder of the me Albion plaved with -but ten Albion al ways had the game sare in hand, nevertheless. Trenton only just managed to snatch a victory from Tacony in the closing stages of the'r league game last Saturday. Tacony led at half time by two goals to none and within ten minutes of time still held a lead of two to one. but then Trenton put on a splendid spurt and seoring three goals, one by Copertale and two by Plant, ran out winners of a most sensational and exciting game by four goals to tvr0- M. Campbell thoroughly Justified his selection for All Philadelphia.

Not a fault could be found with his goal keeping against. Toronto University. If Merlon could find some one to fill the centre forward position it would be advisable to put Dr. Lester in the half-back line. It would undoubtedly strengthen the backbone of the team.

the Corinthians are an improving team Was amply demonstrated bv the game thev put up against British-Americans. To divide leaanie points with their doughty opponents was a performance to be proud of. The Boys Club, of New York, proved no match for P. and R. Railway and suffered defeat by five goals to one.

G. Anderson was in great form for the winners, scoring three goals. F. Tabor, the popular manager of the Boys' Club, scored their solitary goal. By defeating Columbia.

Boys Club retained their unbeaten record in the second division, of the League. Cambria also has yet to taste defeat. Protests seem to be the order of the day. The Vesper team is showing very good form just now. The forward line is excellent.

Belmont second accomplished a good perform-' ance in defeating tne neavy ueiaware county team, at aMnoa. Columbia and Cornell played a drawn game of one goal each In the first "soccer" game ever played between te two universities. Af-hton. Seed3 and Holildjy are putting up a great game for Tacony.

Aston Villa has climbed to the top of the English League table, but 13 oclv able to claim an advantage of one point over Sheffield Wednesday. Both clubs have played fifteen matches and Aston Villa has scored 2t points as against 19 by Sheffield Wednesday. Bristol Citv ia the second division leads the list with a wonderful record of 26 points out of a possible 2. Tottenham Hotspur holds pride of place in the Southern League with 18 poinrs out of a possible 24. Fulliam also possesses the same' Bomber of points, but their goal average is not so good as that of the "Spurs." In the Scottish League.

Hearts are easily first with 28 points outof a possible 32. The record of the New Crusaders, a club organized by the brothers Farmield this season, has in all probability never been equaled.

Five brothers Farnfleid are members of the team. Thistles have protested their league game with Falls ou the ground that there was not a plaving complement of the Falls team present at Sixth and Clearfield streets at when the game should have started. On the other hand the Fails management claims that the team came ou the fiell late because they were not notified where they were to change. The matter will be tbiesbed out at the next board meeting. It Is quite extraordinary how few are the number of drawn games played in the first division of the league this season so far.

Out of thirty-six games eiht only have ended in a draw' In the second division the reverse is the case. Out of twenty-four games played uo less than thirteen have been-drawu, or more than half.
