London, Dec. 2. The racing seasi
under the auspices of the Jockey Clib
closed with the king's stable as own
er of the year's best colt, Friar Mar
cus, which is regarded as the most
promising candidate for next year's
Derby. Friar Marcus went through
the season undefeated, a distinction
enjoyed by no other juvenile of note.
The list of winning owners is head
ed, for the second time in succession,
by J. B. Joel, whose dozen winners
captured an average of two races
apiece, worth in the aggregate about
$155,000, as against ?60,000 taken by
His Majesty, who ranks sixth in the
list. Three-fourths of the king's total
was won by Friar Marcus. Among the
first twenty names of winning owneis
there is not a man of moderate means.
Waldorf Astor, with only three win
ners, won over ?80,000, giving him
second place. W. M. Singer won $40,-
000; H. B. Duryea, $32,000; Mr. Fairie,
$29,000 and H. P. Whitney, $17,000.
Among the trainers, Alec Taylor
was the most successful, horses from
his Manton stables winning $160,000.
In the list of winning jockeys, the
Irish rider, Steve Donoghue, stands
easily first, with 129 victories out of
680 mounts. This is his first time in
top place, which has been monopo
lized for seven years by Frank Woot
ton and Danny Maher, both now retired.

(Correspondence of the Associated
- Press.)
London, Dec. 2. Most of the prom
inent cricket clubs in England show
an alarming financial deficit for the
season, as a result of the damper
which war put on the sport after Au
gust 1.
The Lancashire Cricket Club, with
an annual income of about $40,000,
had a loss of $6,500. The Northamp
tonshire club was able to finish its
season only through the receipt of a
gift of $2,500 from Lord Lilford, an
enthusiastic follower of the sport. The
club has decided to abandon the game
for the year 1915 and assess all mem
bers a sum sufficient to enable the
organization to start thel916 season
free of debt.
The Hampshire County Club, after
beginning the year with a large sur
plus, finds itself at the end of tne sea
son with a deficit of $4,500. Exact
fismres are not available for the other
prominent clubs, but it is known that
all have suffered severely.

Berlin! via A ms tarda
Dec. 17, 9:30 a. m. Concerning thej
shelling of Scarborough and Hartle-"
pooi ine iferiiner Tageblatt says:
"Again our naval forces, facing the
danger of the scattered mines in the
North sea, shelled English fortified
places." .
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung ex
presses satisfaction with the attack,
especially immediately after the naval
Dame on tne Falkland Islands.
The Berlin Neuesten Nachrichten
says: "This time it is not a daring
cruiser trick with the transitory throw
ing of a bomb, but a regular bombard
ment of fortified places which is a new
voucher for the gallantry of the navy."
ine Boersen Zeitung says the bom
bardment is possibly the herald of
greater events.
The Boersen Zeitung says of the
German bombardment of English
coast towns:
"The heroic spirit which animates
our army and navv alike has ' atipp
more been splendidly proven in the
attack on the English east coast which
our beloved English cousins cannot:
have believed possible in view of the!
vigilance ot their navy and the pro-!
tections afforded - by extensive mine
firing. The plucky German seaman
fears neither mine nor superdread
naught. The iron greetings thrown by
our naal pieces on the English coast''
are possibly n indication that-greater
events are imminent." N
London, Dec' 2. The East India
troops are giving no end of trouble
because of their fastidiousness in eat
ing. In the Netley hospital near
Southampton, Hindus and Mohamme
dan wounded almost came to-blows
over the question of how their goat
and sheen would he
been, necessary to separate them to
avoid fighting.
The Mohammedan wants the ani
mals' heads cut off, the Hindu insists
that the throat shall be cut and the'
beast allowed to bleed to death after
custom immemorial. At first the Brit
ish in charge of the hospital were, in
clined to weigh the matter Tightly,
but they found that it was of serious
concern to the Indian. After two or
three clashes between the factions
they were placed in different parts of
the hospital and their respective re
quests in the matter of how goat or
sheep should be despatched are being
carefully observed. '

Greensboro, Dec. 17. W. H. Rowe,
recently appointed manager of the
Greensboro Patriots for 1915, will ar
rive in the city Saturday and will
spend two or three days here conferr
ing with the directors of the club.
Considering the late date at which
Rowe received his appointment, he is
doing great work toward landing a
bunch of good players to represent
Greensboro next season.
t o Wtoi- in a friend hpro vester-
dav Rowe stated that he was firmly1
of the opinion that he had landed sev
eral good men for his club. The new
manager speaks inx high terms of
"Doc" High, signed for the outfield,
Welch, of High Point, signed to play
in the infield and "Dqc" Watson, who
comes in exchange for Perritt, Rowe
did not hesitate to put it down in
black and white that he thought each
of ' the three men mentioned . above
would prove towers of strength for
the Patriots.
Rowe afso writes that he feels posi
tive hp, will have a bunch of real
hitters to represent Greensboro and (
mentions tne average or tne inree men
named above. High hit .426, Watson
.313 and Welch .254. The figure made
by Welch is considered good as he is
only a youngster and last season was
his first tryout in professional ball.
