NEW YORK, June 28. — When I’hl
Dwyer died in this city two weeks ag(
one of the best known men in the rac
ing game was gone. Known mainly a!
president of the Brooklyn Jockey Glut
and the Queens Gountry Club, he was
known to racing men the world ovei
as a subtle power In the race garni
years before racing became taintei
with bad betting and crooked races
With Machael P. Dwyer, a brother
Phillip Dwyer organized the Brooklyr
Jockey Club and built the old Grave
send track, where the Brooklyn hand!
rap and many other noted eastern
classics were run. When it finally
went out of existence Phil Dwyer took
over the Acqueduct track, then a mile
circuit, transformed It into a mile and
a quarter course, and transferred the
Brooklyn handicap and other classics
which had made the Gravesend track
famous.
In the Washington market for years
the two Dwyers conducted a butche
business, relinquishing it finally to be
come the owners of Radamanthus, a
horse of more than usual ability. Ths
butcher business soon was shoved
• completely into the background and
there was laid a foundation of shrewd
horse judgment, business judgment
and honest dealing that has made thel
name a synonym for racing in the
east.
When the Gravesend track was es
tablished the brotherly partnership
that had existed from the time the
Washington market stall was aban
doned. Michael made a disastrous
trip to England after this, and late
became connected with a stable which
sent Ben Brush to victory in the La
tonia and Kentucky derbies in 189G
and in the suburban handicap the fol
lowing year.
Handspring was the last horse o)
any repute under the ownership of l’hi
Dwyer. This horse won the Withers
stakes at the Belmont track and late
captured the Brooklyn handicap.

ROME. June 26. — Premier Paolo
Bosselli is regarded as a good exam
ple of the way the war has speeded up
the working powers of men even in
Italy’s subtropical climate. Senor Bo
selli, despite his nearly four score
years, begins work at 6 o’clock in the
morning, three hours before the arri
val of the regular clerks, and he quits
work when he is done, usually between
6 and 7 o'clock in the evening. If par
liament is sitting he generally is found
there until the close of the session
about 8 o’clock, his ready wit and un
tailing good humor making his pres
ence necessary to prevent too violent
attacks on the government.
His early morning hours frequently
are occupied by conferences with For
eign Minister Sonnina, who, only sixty
eight years old, also is a very early
riser and a hard worker. During any
temporary absence of Secretary of the
Treasury Carcano, Premier Boselli at
tends to that department. Senor Bo
selli is very short and thin, bald, wears
white whiskers and spectacles.
When asked how he managed to do
so much work, he said: ‘T figure if
1 get started early I’ll just have to
keep going.” .

NEW YORK, June 2i — A baseball
club without at least one star pitcher
would be an absolute joke as a chain
pion of one of the two major leagues.
Ranging back over history discloses
the fact. Every one of the many clubs
which have risen to heights and retro
graded is featured by at least one
hurler of star proportions. Since the
American league came into being tills
fact has been more pronounced.
Inspect the record of the Chicago
White Sox of 1906, one of the most
remarkable world's championship feats
in the game's annals. Ed Walsh was
just about the entire exhibition in
those days, with the able assistance
of Dr. White.
The obstreperous Braves present an
identical caso, with forgotten Bill
James the mainstay of their endeav
ers. Connie Mack had his Jack
Coombs, tiis Eddie Blank and his Chief
Bender. Christy Matthewson added
grace and impetus to the Giant's pay
roll. Joe Wood drew much money,
both in the payroll and at the gate,
while he was doing championship duty
for the Red Sox. Wild Bill Donovan,
Ed Reulbach, Mordecai Brown, Phil
ippe, Babe Adams, Grover Alexander,
Jeff Pfeffer, all have had their fling
at fame as stars who have lajosted
clubs almost individually into a world
series cut.
The one man feature rests with
nearly every club. They all have some
man around who defense or offense Is
centered.
The Chicago White Sox would be a
IMt MU MAS UUNE
TO THE COLORS.
The patriotism and pathos of this
poem will find a response In many an
Fagle home, where the boy has an
swered the call and is “changed by the
flag to a man." The essential whole
someness and truth of the verses give
them a deep and lasting significance.
The Kid has gone to the colors,
And we don’t know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him a child, a baby.
With never a care at all; _
But his country called him man-sie—
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting.
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered,
“Come!”
The Kid, not being a slacker,
Stood forth with patriot joy
To add his name to the roster^
And God! we're proud of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In a truly martial style.
But now he’s a man, a soldier,
And we lend him a listening ear;
For his heart is a heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered.
His mother—God bless her!—cried;
Yet, blest with a mother nature,
She wept with a mother pride.
But he whose old shoulders straight
ened
Was grandad — for memory ran
To years when he, too, a youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to a man!
—W. M. Hersehell.

George draws pay for being about
