old system of bookmakers. The odds were
to win, $1,885.50 for $2; for place. $744.40,
and $172.40 tn show. There were but four
$2 tickets sold on the horse.

Jumping Marvel Sure to Win His Event in Olympic Meet
HORINE IS GREATEST ATHLETE IN WORLD TODAV
NEW YORK, June 18.—With the
gieatest 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 ail rivals
in his specialty more than any
other champion excels his particu
lar rivals. Tills applies to the
present, to all rhe years in the past
and bids fair io be true of many

years to come, if not for all time in

Horine is uch a marvelous jump
er 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 foutune 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 bur
self in our younger days, and re
membering vividly the amount of
effort, to Say nothing of weeks of
assiauous preparation that it took
to get over 6 feet 2 1-4 inches, we
are in a position to appreciate the

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 as 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 IJarry Porter's 6 feet 3 inches
at. London in 1908. In the pre
vious one, at Athens in 1906, Gon
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 1900,
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 victor. 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-.

CITY WANTS TO CLOSE
FORSYTH UNDERPASS
The state letfislature will have to
give permission before the city can
close the underpass at Forsyth street
or improv# the viaduct. A bill asking
authority to do this will be presented
in general assembly this session,
as the*council has approved the plan
for the change submitted by Mayor
Winn yesterday. By closing the under
pass the entire viaduct will be avail
able for passing over the railroad
tracks and will eliminate the congest
ed condition at that crossing.
