After weeks of hard toil the stable folk have become like one big family, notwithstanding the sense of pride and competition that exists in each stable, It tg around the training section tha! the true sentiment of a race track is manifested.

Belmont Park is ready to receive the ; | army of racegoers. After weeks of hard the work the track has been restored to its ry hi £7) ul | Tey iF) i done that one now could hardly betleve that the famous course ever suffered from three years of idleness, It was a big undertaking that con- fronted Supt. Pels when he received orders to prepare Belmont Park for racing. A race course to be maintained in ite best condition requires constant attention. When the sport of kings was killed in 1910 Belmont Park was al- lowed to become @ prey to weeds and the elements. The extensive property soon fell into decay, Repairs were needed everywhere, It has almost been e hand of magic that lifted the forlorn looking +] waste into a modern race course with evrything in order, With the ald of sixty workmen Supt. Pols quickly got busy on the main track, which needed the most attention. A path only large enough to permit .| three horses to pass abreast had bren harrowed steadily during the last three years, The of the track wi »| completely turned and the broad F Rictket AG to a large force of men etarted to paint the track posts and rafiings. The posts were treated to @ coat of red paint and the rails to one of white The effect w Very beautiful. The outside fence, too, has been made to wok like new. A three years’ accumulation of rust was scrapped from the tall iron posts and many paile of black paint applied. One quad of laborere was kept busy fur weeks making repairs to the big stands and touching up needy places with bright paint. All the while many gardeners were Gradually getting the large lawns and Grives back to their former appear- ance. Nature lent assistance in this work, and the result has been some of the most handsome lawns on Lons Island. Yor fear that this wors might winning averages. Win and a thorough- bred is a champion, lose and he's a plug. This is changed around the sta- bles. There, whether he wins or loses, & horse is regarded at hie true worth— ®@ man’s best friend. The eanly morning hours are devoted exclusively to the horses'’s wants. Firat, the atable army must exercise the thoroughbreds, If reports are correct, there's many an exciting brush in the morning when tre animals are limbered up. It ls a big temptation for a boy to let his mount out if he feels like it, and the rivalry between the various atables ie so keen that many fast races are pulled off. WILSON HAS BIG STRING QUAR- TERED AT TRACK, BR. T. Wilson will probably have the biggest stable ut Belmont. Mr. Wil- eon, like other owners, preferred home racing to the hasardous swing around the Canadian circuit and ordered Trainers Tom Healy and Pat Dwyer to get his horses as fit as a fiddle for the local season. Fourteen of the Wilson thoroughbreds are at Belmont. The others have been at the Southern tracks, from where they are expected any day. Walking down stable No. 16, where the Wilson otring is eituated, Mr, Dwyer handed out @ hot tip, a little early for the tip season perhaps, but the trainer thinks so well of the Wil- son two-year-olds that he advised the visitors te watch them closely this year. Of these youngaters the Wilson train- er is very proud of Northerner, by Royal Gun and Yankee, and Unturl, « very promising filly by Unseen and Ouden, Going down the line Dungara, trom was introduced, as , by Janewood and Star Bhoot; Nailed, by Nahma and Og- den, and Fireside by Star of the West and Ogden. Two other youngsters, yet unnamed, complete the Wilson stock of two-year-olds. “There's a fine hor. of the Yankee-Roye! Gun strain is now a three-year-old and great things are expected of him. "Get up, you big loafer,” was Dwyer's welcome to Genesta, @ three-year-old of the Broomatick family and already hold- ‘er of a Canadian record of 6 MoGraw Realizes Giants Must Get Their Stride Within Next Three Weeks to Figure. By Bozeman Bulger. HH) fate of the Giants in the 1913 race depends largely upon what they show within the next three weeks. Time is too precious for them to be “in and outers” much longer. Me- Graw fully realized this when he shoved in a dig stack to get Arthur Fromme. He needs to get his machine on & mooth, steady basis and do it quickly. Unless the team strikes a stride oon- tent with ite natural strength by the iddie of June the Giants will have blown the pennant. {t will be remem-! in an inch of nippin, It was the enormou: that eaved the team of 1912, The team of 1918 has no such margin to fall back on, but has fallen just the same. ‘The failure of a championship ma- Chine to get under way after winning two pennants is not without precedent, After the Giants had won the World's Championship in 195 they cracked 90 badly the following spring that McGraw found it necessary to get rid of alx men and then the best he could do was to finish fourth. The Cubs also cracked after winning the big prize, but came back after one off ye ‘Then the machince went to pieces completely. The Pirates, Athletics and Tigers all had the same experience. There is a Aifference, however, between the New York Club of 1906 and 1913. The for- mer failed through outliving its use.) fulness, The players grew old and worn out. That is not true of the present team, The Giants of to-day are young and should be at their top form. Most any manager in the ocague will tell you that MoGraw has more natural strength on his club than has any team in the league. The problem is to bring it out and get value received. ‘The Phillie® have gone far enough now to convince fans throughout the country that they are not at the top notch through accident, Dooin has been Dlessed with the best pitching in the league. His m fighters at all stages and, while they haven't the hit- ting strength of the Giants, they are working what they have for all i worth. Philadelphia and Brooklyn have played consistent baseball since the race began. Indications are that Brooklyn has begun to crack and the playe:s around the cirouit are prophesying that the Phillies will take the toboggan as goon as they hit the road after next week, There ts no reason for delieving that, except that Pittsburgh and New York are still regarded as stronger elude. PIRATES APPEAR TO HAVE HIT THEIR REGULAR GAIT. Of all the clubs the Polo Grounds I LARRY M’LEAN REGARDS FROMME BEST PITCHER IN NATIONAL LEAGUE. Larry MoLean, one of the greatest catchers in tite business when he behaves himself, and who, with the rest of the Cardinals, left town last night after a series with the Giants, thinka that Pitcher Arthur Fromme, Just secured by Manager McGraw, of the New Yorks, for three players, is the best twirler in the National League. MoLean caught Fromme in Cincinnati for many years. Ball Dlayera aren't often inclined to boost each other, so McLean's estimation ot Fromme is good news. “Any time you catch MoGraw be- ing out-traded It won't be in a base- ball deal," said McLean. “My honest opinion f# that Fromme ts the best Pitcher in the National League, and I mean every word of it, too.” the alightest provocation, With two more good pitchers and a couple of .300 hitters the St, Louts club would be dan- jerous. The Cubs appear pitiably weak as -}compared with the wonderful machine led 80 many vears by Frank Chance. ‘They haven't the punch. Moreover, the Cubs do not go about their work with that smooth concerted action that for- merly made them appear we deadly against the Giants. Evers will have to start at the bottom and build up a new machine. He cannot expect to go very far on the remnants of the one loft by Chance. ON PAPER CINCINNATI TEAM LOOKS LIKE WONDER. On paper Cincinnati has a team that ought to be @ wonder. But it isn't. Joe Tinker has been unable to get anything like a machine organised. He has a good infleld and a really wonderful out- field, but for some reason they don't appear to get results out of the natural strength, The acquisition of Devore, Groh and Ames ought to put Tinker en his feet, P sod sivea him a fast out- flelder, a Mrong utility inflelder and a Pitcher who has always won more than | * half his games. George Stallings has one of those teama that seem to be organised for no other purpose than to upset the dope. The Hraves are liable to lose five straight to a weak club and then turn right around and beat the Ufe out of a champion, Stallings has hitting strength, but no pitchers, In Maran- ville he has one of the best shortstops in league and at second Bill ey is just about as good as they ‘These two men, however, are ball club, Stallings gave Mne on his club when asked him the other day where he thought he would finish, t worrying me,” replied George. “What I am worrying about is where wil we start?” Realizing that the scorn of all Brook- lyn will smite me I've got to say it just the same: From this neck of the Woods it now looks as if the race in the National League will be a triangu- lar one and the three clubs will be New York, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, junboat El. way in the thint of Oldtown, ‘The hout 4 | was scheduled for six rounds, | Fleming adminis. be up around the top within a ahort while. The chance is before the Giants to do the same thing, and they hed better jump in while the opportunity laste.
