It 48 also pointed out that the in- creased cost of automobile mainten- ance and the possibility of an ulti- mate restriction in the use of gaso- line for pleasure purposes, may Te- turn the horse to his old time popu- larity on the road. The horsemen anticipate a brisk demand for animals from Europe when the nations resume peaceful pursuits after the carnage, . There is an fappalling shortage of horses in the Old World. That this is a fact {8 known through the shipment of over 1,000,000 animals from this country to the armies of France, England, Italy and Belgium. It ap- plies likewise to Russia, where a gen- eral purpose horse now commands between $400 and $500 The announcement that no pro- vision would be. made for cavalry in the first draft army, together with the absence of any recent extensive use of cavalry on the western front in Europe, has given rise to a belief that the horse is no longer an inte- gral factor in modern fighting: The impression is erroneous, While con- ditions on the west have not per- mitted the use of mounted troops, the armies are retaining their cav- alry quotas. The little Belgian army has its two cavalry divisions ready to support its infantry. In the east cavalry ig playing an important role and has done so from the first in- vasion., The success of the airplane for reconnaissance has not supplant- ed the value of the mounted scout, Major General Sir David Hender- son, commanding the Royal British Flying Corps in France says: "The importance of cavalry reconnaissance is impaired in no way by the intro- duction of the airplane." But laying aside the question of cavalry, there remains a sufficient task for horses with every army. They still haul the guns and much of the stores and pro- visions, The last stretch between the supply depots and the trenches mist be covered by horses, for motor trucks cannot megotiate the shell torn. terrain. yThe pak horse and mule bear the bundem. The War department has already authorized the purchase of 250,000 horses, of whieh nearly 100,000 have been secured. It is estimated that some 400,000 horses will be in ser- vice by the time tlre army has reach ed 1,000,000 men, At the opening of the war the British veterinary corps mustered 425 men. It now en- rolls over 25,000, indicating the sys- tém devised for the care of animals at the front. While it is admitted that the pri' ces now offered by the government for army horses are ridiculously low, the State Horsemen urge every patriotic breeder to produce at least one colt the coming year. imppb---------- . War and Baseball. - When the United. States' first de- termined to enter the lists on the side of the Allies there was a con- siderable drop in the atténdance at the major league parks, and for a time it appeared as if the backers | of the sport would be heavy losers on the season. But once the flurry had died down the fans again turn- ed to the pastime which they have} made the most popular in the world, and, as the races in both the National and American organiza- | tions are exceedingly close, there no longer remains a doubt that there will be sufficient excitement to sus- tain p ar interest right through the world's series, and make the 1917 season a financial success. In fact so of the teams, sueh as the CineinnatiReds, the St. Louis andy, the Cleveland In= dians, give promise of making more money fqr their owners than in many moons, for trailers, ts they have been too often in the past, they have been display- ing unexpected dey for a com- YES, AND THE BOYS WERE TELLING THET 1 RUTH AT THAT. instead. of being' siderable time, and have been bat- ting' with the usual pennant con- tenders for high posts. Another thing which contributed to a clearing of the atmosphere was the practical certainty that the } teams would not be "shot to pieces" { because of the draft, for _fewgef those within the prescribed a limits are without dependents.' In addition those players who intend to Penlist will wait until the season is over to do so.--Ed. A. Goewey, in Leslie's. | Matty's Salary is $12,000. Salaries paid baseball stars was the subject of an examination of August Herrmann, owner of the Cincinnati team and chairman of the National Baseball Commission, in a suit of Vincent Campbell, 3 player, #&gainst the defunct Newark Federal League Club to reeover $84268 for breach of contract. Herrmann testified that the pay- roll "for the Cincinnati team lassi year aggregated $80,500, of whieh Christy Mathewson, manager of the team, got -$12,000; Herzog, whom he succeeded, $10,000, and Hal Chase $8,000. "Lou" Woods, the St. Michael College boy, is pitéching great ball for Carltons, having won his last four starts. He has won 5 and lost 2 this year, one of his defeats being a two-hit game against Osler, which he should have won. One feature of his work has been his control, hav- ing passed only ten in eight games. Léon J. Cadore, a pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers and last season with Montreal, has passed the physi- cal examination for! the - United States army. He waived exemption and is ready to quit baseball at once. Men's good black Sale price ~. .:. . SUSPEND FOR HARVEST. s-- Irish Racing Will Not Clash With Needed Work on Farms. The stewards, of the Irish Tur! Club have sanctioned further flat racing meetings up to August 25th, when the sport will be suspended for a month so as to have no inter. ference -made with the harvest. The English Jockey Club has ar- ranged a further meeting to be held at Brighton on October 6th, which completes the forty days' racing per- mitted by the Government. Horse-racing in Germany is being continued with hardly any differ- ence from 'the pre-war days. The German Derby, of the valie of $31,- 250, was recently run off and won by Landgraf, a brown colt by the English Louviers--iLandora, by four lengths from Ecco and FErah- sinn, who'ran a dead heat for Second place, VETERAN PLANK' RETIRES. Beginning to Tell on Once Great Southpaw. Plank, the veteran left- hander, has retired permanently from baseball. Fielder Jones, of the St. Louis Americans, made this known yesterday, when he announc- ed that Plank had left the team last Saturday and gone to his home at Gettysburg, Pa, Plank informed him, Jones said, that his reason for reti*ing was that the strain of baseball was. telllng on him, causing trouble with his stomach. Plank's last game was pitched in Washington a week ago Monday, when Walter Johnson defeated him, 1 to 0, in eleven innings.
