GRAND STRING RACED BY
ED GEERS THIS SEASON
Cy Young grows old and retired, Tom
Morris died. Bill Earned finally began to
slip just before he reached the fifties, but
Ed Geers goes on and on. The "Silent
Man From Tennessee" made his first
journey into the North with a string of
horses in 1877. That was 35 years ago.
Yet he will be back at the old stand this
year and ready to lead the grand circuit
drivers, as he has been doing, off and on
for a scorer of years or more-
At the head of his string this year is
the little black mare Dudie Archdale,
2:06%. On her racing record Dudie lays
over all the other fast trotters In train
ing, for she has won more races, been a
faster mile in a race and won more
money than any one of the others. She
has never been unplaced in a single heat
in her life and has never been worse than
third.
Second to her among tbs trotters is
Anvil. 2:08*4, like Dudie. the property of
Frank Jones, of Memphis. • He won the
SIO,OOO M. and M. last year and had he
not been taken lame shortly after would
probably have been the largest money
winning trotter of the year. For Mr.
Jones he is also training Fuzz Johnson,
2:14%, and Eva Cord, 2:23%, both capable
of beating 2:10.
Other good trotters in the stable are
Bergen, 2:36%, the property of W. C.
Brown, president of the New York Cen
tra! lines; Dorsh Medium, 2:29%; Gordon
Todd, 2;09%; Eleanor G, 2:22%, trial,
2:08%; Funny Crank. 2:16%, and Loop
wood.
Among the pacers Akar is generally re
garded as the best the veteran will race.
Idol Chimes, 2:12%. about the last of the
Chimes family that will appear on the
grand circuit, has been a sensational
pacer over the Wisconsin half-mile tracks,
and as Geers has had much success with
this familj' it may be that he will prove a
hard nut to crack. Online Patch, 2:23%,
is a son. of the world’s champion pacer,
Dan Patch, 1:55%, out of a mare by On
line. 3:04. the world's champion 4-year
old pacer, and is highly regarded.
SOME GRAY-WHISKERED
NAGS RACE THIS YEAR
CLEVELAND, June 18.—Campaigning
this season will be several horses which
have been In the game so long that they
could take part in a G. A. R. parade and
not he out of place. Usually a horse
reaches the zenith of his career at from
five to eight years of age, but there is a
certain delegation that belongs to the
evergreen brand.
Among the perennial campaigners that
will be seen racing this year Is the re
markable Gray Gem in W. L. Snow's
stable. Gray Gem was foaled In 1898.
He started racing in 1903 and at the Oak
ley track. Cincinnati, that year, he won
two races the same day.
Another old campaigner that raced year
after year is Norman B, 2:06%. This old
horse participated in a number of great
races for Knop McCarthy and it was only
about two seasons ago he gave up the
strenuous game. Oro, also a member of
McCarthy's stable for a long time, like
Norman B, figured in some record-break
ing races. Oro was foaled in 1898 and In
1904 he earned a record of 2:19%. In
1910 and 1911 he did some of his best
racing and reduced hfk record to 2:05%-.
Two Canadian pacers that will appear
on the grand circuit this season and give
battle wherever tlfcy start are Major
Brino, 3:04%, and The Eel, 2:02%. Major
Brino is fifteen years old. while The Eel
is ten. Brino took a mark of 2:24% in
1904. while last year he clipped a second
off his record. The Eel has been racing
since 1908. While he has raced fewer
years than some of the other horses, he
probably has gone many more races than
some horses who have raced two or three
seasons longer than he has. The Eel
is raced from early spring to late fall on
the dirt tracks, while he is used in the
ice events in winter.
JIM STEWART DEFEATS
KENNEDY IN 10 ROUNDS
NEW YORK, June 18.—Jim Stewart,
the New York heavyweight, outfought
Tom Kennedy, also of this city, in a
ten-round contest at Madison Square
Garden. Stewart -weighed 210 pounds,
and Kennedy 197 1-2. The bout was
fairly even until the final rounds, when
Stewart was the faster.

Jumping Marvel Sure to Win His Event in Olympic Meet
HORINE IS GREATEST ATHLETE IN WORLD TODAY
NEW YORK, June 18.—With the
greatest athletic team the world
has ever known now speeding its
way across the Atlantic to win
glory for America in the Olympic
games at Sweden, is the greatest
athlete in the world's history. He
is not one of the all-around won
ders. he is not a tremendously pow
erful strong man, he is not one of
those gifted with phenomenal en
durance. His sole stock in trade
consists of remarkable agility, un
usually steady nerves, a great love
for competition-—and an unmatched
amount of “spring."
He is George Horine.
Why do we call him the world’s
greatest athlete when he does
nothing but the running high jump?
Answer, because he excels all rivals
tn his specialty more than any
other champion excels his partlcu
’ lar rivals. This applies to the
present, to all the years in the past
and bids fair to be true of many
FATE OF N. Y. TRACKS .
DECIDED-BY THIS SUIT
NEW YORK, June 18—In the little
village of Hempstead, L. 1., is being
fought today a legal battle which will
determine the fate of the race tracks
in this state. The action taken will
practically decide whether they will
throw open their gates and the patrons
bet among themselves without fear of
the directors being amenable to arrest
as accessories to violations of the law
against bookmaking, or whether the
tracks wil iremain closed because of
the conditions which helge In the anti
public betting laws.
The point involve.!, which is of so
much interest to the turf of America,
will be thrashed out in the case of the
people against Paul Shane, of Manhat
tan. Shane was arrested at the United
Hunts amateur racing meeting at Bel
mont Park terminal on Thursday, June
6, charged with violating the betting
laws. But, no matter what the de
cision on the hearing before Justice
Gittens, a final decision in the case by
the court of appeals can not be reached
before October.
WALTER EAST IS CANNED:
SAME FATE FOR MILLER
Walter East, the former Turtle captain,
who has been playing second base for the
Crackers, and Walter Miller, the big
right-hand pitcher who looked so good
last year, were given their unconditional
release today.
Manager Hemphill sent Miller to the
Elmira, New York .State league, under an
optional agreement several days ago, but
he failed to deliver the goods there, so
he was turned back to Atlanta. How
ever, as he had been waived out of the
league and had failed to make good with
Elmira, Hemphill thought It unwise to
bring him back, so his release followed.
The Atlanta manager had tn release East
to make room for Harbison, the new
player secured from the Carolina league.
AMERICANS TAKE PART

IjONDON, June 18.—The international
horse show opened at Olympia yesterday
morning and will continue until June 29.
Although some of the older American ex
hibitors are .absent, others have taken
their places. Judge W. IT. Moore, Walter
Winans and Miss Mona Dunn, a Canadian,

Judge Moore brought over from America
45 horses and will be a keen competitor in
all harness classes, in which Alfred G.
Vanderbilt is also exhibiting.
King George is displaying interest in
the snow, and beside exhibiting horses
from the royal stables at Windsor, Sand
ringham and Balmoral, has sent the fa
mous Hanoverian cream ponies, which
draw the state coach in royal proces

MISSISSIPPI TENNS

BLUE MOUNTAIN, MISS., June 18
Ixical tennis players have been In cor

first to ocour at this place during the

years to come, if not for all time in
the future.
Horine is such a marvelous jump
er that it seems hardly possible he
could be a human being. The best
jump he has made to date excels
that of the former world’s record
holder. Mike Sweeney, made in
1895, by almost three inches, and
is more than four inches better
than the highest leap of any other
man. Horine made this wonder
ful jump while practicing on the
New York A. C. field at Travers
Island a few weeks ago, and we
had the good fortune to be one of
the witnesses. The exact height of
the jump was six feet eight and
one-eighth inches.
Having been a high jumper pur
self in our younger days, and re
membering vividiy the amount of
effort, to say nothing of weeks of
assiduous preparation that it took
to get over 6 feet 2 1-4 Inches, we

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 18.—A
series of misfortunes is marking this

gatta.
Elms, the Cornell stroke, is suffering
from an infected foot; the boat of the
Wisconsin crew was smashed, and the
Leland Stanford university crew is still
minus a shell. A spell of bad weather
has also set in, hindering the work.
Despite all handicaps, however, regular
practice was ordered today.

phenomenal character of Horine's
feat. And we are treated to the
delectable sight of seeing a fellow
specialist soar over the cross bar
at an altitude of practically half a
foot more.
But it is not this one particular
jump, wonderful ns it is, that
strikes deepest into our cranium.
It is the fact that the creature —we
hardly can think of him as a hu
man being'—consistently jumps 6
feet 5 inches. Think of it con
sistently—he consistently jumps 6
feet 5. One year ago any man who
would speak of a consistent 6 foot 5
jumper would" be nominated for the
bug house.
If there is one event on the en
tire Olympic program that America
can count as already won by the
men sailing on the Finland, it is
the running high jump. The best
done in any previous Olympic meet
was Harry Porter's 6 feet 3 inches
at London in 1998. In the pre
vious one, at Athens in 1906, Con
Leahy, of Ireland, won with only 5
feet 9 7-8 inches. In 1904 at St.
Louis Sam Jones was first with 5
feet 11 inches. Hugh Baxter did
6 feet 2 4-5 inches at Paris in 1990,
and Ellery Clark won with 5 feet
11 1-4 inches at Athens, in 1896.
Horine's best Is more than 5 inches
better than the most proficient of
any previous Olympic vlctqr. He
will win hands down at Stockholm.
Hats off to George Horine, the
greatest athlete the world has ever
known! And if any man fails to
doff his kelly, let somebody sneak
up behind him and push it down
over his ears.

to win. $1,885.50 for $2; for place, $744.40,
and $172.40 to show. There were but four
$2 tickets sold on the horse.
