Ontario GNTARIO anng :‘HE DURHAM CHRUNICLE 1‘an The Press Association met on the lst and 2nd of June in the new Technical school in Toronto, and through the courtesyvof Principal McKay, all in attendance were taken through the vast structure to see the practical work that was carried on in its different departs merits. Hundreds were employed Ull wood-working and iron-work- ing machinery of all kinds, under. skilled instructors. Carpenter work. brick laying. plumbing, gas fitting, electrical engineering, and all kinds of me- chanical work are carried on prac- tically. The physical culture exer- cims and the swimming pool give hrawn to the students, and all seem happy in their several avo- cations. The printing office equip- ment was highly interesting to the press men, as the different rna- chines were in_ full operation. As We passed through the gym- nasium we met Ben Benton, Who is mm in attendance, and was about to develop muscle on some of the appliances. The Technical School is a truly wonderful institution.

HARNESS RACING GAME TAKES BIG CAPITAL Big Sums Invested in Horses and Tracksâ€"Some Costly Trotters â€"The Big Circuits The a1erage purses distributed in 1915 in the harness races were beyond 1 $5,000. The Grand Circuit, which is! the “King Pin” circuit of them all, has 13 weeks of racing. At each' meeting the a1 erage purse was $40, 000, which means that this one organiza- tion distributed $520, 000 in prize money in 1915. There are scores of other circuits, where the purses aver- age from $15,000 and $20,000 per meet- ing down to $1, 000. The Grand Circuit takes the biggest cities of the east and middle nest. Next in importance comes -the Great Western Circuit. This circuit distributes about $250,000 annually. Prominent among the other circuits are the following: Metropoli- tan; Lake Erie; Bay State; Kansas and Oklahoma; Ohio; Michigan Short Ship; Coal. Oil and Gas; Big Fair; ' Maritime Provinces and Northwestern Pennsylvania. In 1915 between 10, 000 and 11, 000i trotters and pacers either raced for': money or for records. Figuring thati each of these is worth a mere $600 shows that over $6, 000, 000 worth of: horseflesh was exhibited before the; public last season. The average of; $600 probably is low. Captain David? Shaw, of Cleveland, values one horse â€"Peter Macâ€"at $125, 000. William, I the pacing whirlwind, was sold during 1 1915 for $9 5,.000 E. D. Gould, of Ken-i ney, Nebraska, refused $35, 000 for his 1 great trotte1, Bingen Silk. And there i are hundreds of other horses that. raced then that are valued far into the thousands. The $6, 000,000 figure! above embraces only the horses that; were campaigned in 1915. It does not I take into consideration the thousands: :of stallions, brood mares and year-‘ lings. Th e fact that Peter the Great, 1 21-year- old stallion, was sold for‘ $50,000 will give some idea of the] value of stud horses. It seems safer to say that the total value of all the harness horses in North America to- day is $10,001‘nddu. . One Theusand Cities Each one of the cities where har- ness horses are racedâ€"and there are 1,000 of themâ€"has a racecourse, stands and other track en uipment. The money invested in these ranges down £10111 close to $2 75, 000 tied up in the North Randall, 0., track, to the $5,000 and $10, 000 tracks in the small- est cities. "l‘he statistics do not cover the annual expense involved in the upkeep of stables. Practically every horse owner has a driver, stable boys, veterinarians, etc. And then there is the cost of shipping the horses from one track to another. Yes, the light harness racing game is an immense one. It’s business in one senseâ€"and , a sport'in another. Many Non-champions Made More Than Did-time Title-homers If you merely seek money in the pugilistic world, it isn’t necessary for you to become a champion. Ring his- tory shows that aspirants, with good business heads, have snared as many, if not more, greenbacks than the title- holders. Packey McFarland never was a division king, yet the Chicagoan earned in the neighborhood of $200,- 000 in the ring. Mike Gibbons’ “shake- downs” in three years went beyond $100,000. Leach Cross, who grabbed off over $200,000 during his long ring career, never got out of the runner-up class. Frank Moran, as merely heir- apparent to the heavyweight throne, earned $50,000 during seven or eight months. Dillon never has been a fully recognized champion, yet his ring earnings have been tremendous. Bat- tling Levinsky, who fought almost continuously in 1915, earned close, to $50,000. Knockout Brown, the light- weight, never was much better than a good second rater. But during the five years he was campaigned under the management of Dan Morgan his earnings were $144,000â€"an average of nearly $30,000 a year. There are scores of other battlers who never :have been and never will be cham- :pions, yet they are earning each year sums that exceed those garnered by champions in other days. Left Hand Batters Get the Higher Percentages A perusal of the mace-wielding re- cords brings out a peculiarity; It un- covers the fact that the majority of the greatest sluggers the game has produced have been right handed hit- ters, yet the bulk of high percentage hitters are left handers. The left handed batting stars for the most part, are speedy afoot the light handers are clumsy to an extreme, most of the right handers have been big men; the left handers run to the diminutive on the average. 01d Cap Anson was a right hander. So was Ed Delehanty, whq copld drive a ball as far as any man in the game. Lajoie and Wagner, the veterans, are starboard clouters. “Cactus” Cravath, who 1ammed the fences ever and anon, is a right hander. Fred Merkle, the long-distance banger, is a right hand- er; “Piano Legs” Hickman, ‘famous slugger of a few years ago, was a right handed swinger. On the other hand, Cobb is a southpaw clouter. So are Collins, Baker, Kaufi, Speaker, Dau- bert, Luderus and Doyle. With ‘the exception of Baker and Luderus, all are fast men. Excepting those two. none can be classed as a terrific slug- ger; at least none is in the Cravath, Lajoie, Wagner, Delehanty division. They hit the ball hard and farâ€"but it is their speed that enables them to take unto themselves each year a husky average.
