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.

The Italian has agreed to put his man out in eight rounds. Gorman is In perfect condition for the melee and it is not thought locally that that Chicagoan can accomplish the task he. has set for himself.

J— I' HI II 1 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 IN OLYMPIA HORSE SHOW IjONDON, June 18.—The international horse show opened at Olympia yesterday morning and will continue until June 29.

TUESDAY, JL'NE 18, IDIZ 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 are in a position to appreciate the COLLEGE CREWS SEEM UNDER SPELL OF JINX POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 18.—A series of misfortunes is marking this year's practice of the intercollegiate re 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.

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. B. Y. P. U.
