Onorright, 19 faterns Pydhehing Co, ‘ork Evening World) IGHTING spirit, sand, grit, nerve, or whatever else you) care to term it, usually wins out where everything else is equal) im any kind of a contest. Fighters | outgame each other, and so do race horses, and victory usually goes to the one whose redeeming feature is sheer persistence. Many who watched the national singles championship at Forest Hills may contend that William T. Tilden knows more tennis than R. Lindley Murray, but the grand result proves | that Tliden didn't know how to cope | with the Californian’s aounvene ting spirit. Murray's aggressive- nies Mever permitted the Ihiladel- phian to use his great variety of strokes. Tilden was off form bi cause his slashing opponent wouldn't allow him to be any better. Reason for Murray's victory in the national singles is found more in his fighting tactics than in the stroko analysis of the match, Sand is gen erally the deciding factor in tennis and all other sport competitions, T'S ofd that The Jockey Club should frown on geldings and insue an edict, as it did recently, barring them from the important stakes and handicaps of next season. Seems to us like a weak attempt to convince the Government that racing, with its vast breeding interests, 1s of industrial importance rather than of sporting moment. ‘The racegoing regular won't be convinced of that, He is primarily interested in a fast horse. He doesn’t care a rap whether he is an entire horse or a gelding, as long as he can ecamper along with speed enougn to | least, that the fastest representatives of the breeding industry are geldings. Take Roamer, for instanca He is the best of the handicap division, a record breaker, who recently dusted the great Salvator's mile of 1.35% out of the turf archives by running the distance in 1.34 4-5, He's a geld- ing. The best two-year-old of the 2? Who is he? Why, Billy Kelly, a gelding. He recently cost $30,000. Imagine owning him and not be allowed to start him in the classic | Withers. Then there's Mags, about) the best of@™the season's sprinters, winner of nine races out of twelve. He's a gelding. All the steeple- chasers, hardy horses, known for their endurance, are all geldings, with the exception of Bet and one or two others, who are mares, Look back at the dope and you will find geldings winning day in and day out, holding their own with colts in GETTING AN EARLY ART For THE LINKS @EFoRE THE GANG GETS THERE THE EVENING woRLD THURSDAY, onP’ ‘EMBER 5 BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK« PICTURE OF A GOLF BUG YESTERDAY Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co.
