Are Sh Se PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1917. iti PPL TO HORSE LOVERS >=" S225 coorr The rumor of a race track being | built in Detroit this season is again being revived. It is said that sev- eral wealthy sportsmen are inter- ested in the project, and are aiming to interest Judge Murphy. There was a remarkable upheavel of form in premier soccer circles in Scotland on Saturday. Of the nine league games played, five scores of 1 fo 0 were returned, and these where least expected, Motherwell, who are far down the league table, came very close to tripping up the mighty Cel- tic at Parkhead, and it was a feather in their chaplets that the Fir Park brigade ran the champions to one goal. The. efforts of Hamilton Academicals to throw Greenock Mor- ton at Burnbank was none the less meritorious. . The only goal of the fame went to Morton, who had to show a full hand before they could claim victory, Hibernians made a big attempt to get further away from the "wooden spoon," d succeeded in putting a big dent ih the halo of the Love Laners, and incidentally winning their third game of this sea- son. Raith Rovers, the bottom dogs, also surprised themselves, but more 80 Third Lanark, by securing the points at Cathin Park by the odd goal. This was Raith Rovers' second win of the season, and Third Lanark never expected that the Fifers could | trivmph in the West. Liverpool by defeating Preston North End broke the tie in the lead- It is not all a picnic for the clubs introducing the mutuels. The Syd- ney Referee says: "Between build- ings and machines, the installation of the talisator at Randwick will probably cost the Australian Jockey Club mearly £40,000.7 | i | | Recent selling race activities at New Orleans resulted in the transfer of Squeeler to B.

The { first appeal made by the society was | answered by over $500,000, but even { this large sum has proved unequal to the task, and Canadians are now being appealed to to provide suffie- i fent funds to erect a hospital for the treatment of Canadian horses, Since the war started 924,255 horses and muleg have been shipped from the American Continent to the war area, where there are now millions, of animals within the five-mile fire zone, | eniefly because motor traction is im- possible there.

Major league presidents are in receipt of letters from several hogtelries at which their teams put up during the playing season. Ad- vising gn the rates will be hoosted from 5B cents.to $1 per day per man, As the club carries an average of twenty-five men while on the road during the championship season this addition to the cost of travelling will amount to quite a sum during thé course of a year. A dollar a day increase in the cost of hotel accom- modation means $25 a day to the club, or an advance in the expenses of about $2,000 in a year. Thus do things conspire to annoy the once plutocratic but mow shy and shrink- ing club owner. ------e ie A Bullet-Riddled Athlete.

In the meantime they are keeping in good physical condition by playing hockey and deserve every encouragement from the public. They showed a sur- prising good team against the River- sides and earned the applause of the fans for their plucky efforts against the champions. Like every other senior O.H.A. team this year, they also introduced a remarkably clever goalkeeper in Harold Lees. He made all shots look easy and the determin- ed attack of the Riversides was refi- dered harmiess by his amazing work. Purvis at centre also displayed fine form.

Replac- ing a wearied player by a fresh one is a reward for foul play, not a pen- alty. This condition exists because the rules are drawn by promoters whose purpose is not the encourage- ment of a sport, but the presentation of a spectacle. And it supplies a basic reason why amateur sport can never be properly served by pro- fessional direction. The aims are radically different, and marksmen aiming at different targets are not likely to hit the same one. Connie Mack Has Signed Bodie) Ping Bodie will 'be back in the' American League next season. Con- nie Mack has signed him. Mack is confident that he can get a .300 average out of Bodie by using Some of the famous Mack salve and diplomacy. Ping's previous failure in the majors is attributed to bad manag t. a Ping played in 206 games on the coast last year and had an average of 303. He secured more hits than any Sther player in the golden west re- glon. It turns out that only two of Tia el Juana's crop of bookmakers, Joseph Blume and Henry Hanf, emigrated Canada. .
