GRAND STRING RACED BY
ED GEERS THIS SEASON
Cy Young grows old and retired, Tom
Morris died. Bill Larned 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 hack at the old stand this
year and ready to lead the grand circuit
drivers, as he has been doing, off and on
for a score nf years or more.
At the head of his string this year is
the little black mare Dudie ~ Archdale,
2:06’ 4 Q n h er 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 rn& trotters Is
Anvil, 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 a 4, and Eva Cord, 2:23*,£, both capable
of beating 2:10.
Other good trotters in the stable are
Bergen, the property of \V. C.
Brown, president of the New York Cen
tral lines; Dnrsh Medium, 2:29'4: Gordon
Todd, 2;09 l 4; Eleanor G. 2;22 1.-2. l .-2. trial.
2:0814; Funny Crank. 2:16y 2 , and Loop
wood
Among the pacers \kar is generally re
garded as the best the veteran will race.
Idol Chimes. 2:12’4, 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 family it may be that he will prove a
hard nut to crack. Online Patch, 2:23’4,
is a son of the world's champion pacer,
Dan Patch, 1:55’ 4 . out of a mare by On
line, 2:04, 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 thai they
could take, part in a G. A. R. parade and
not be 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 19(13 and at the Oak
ley track. Cincinnati, that year, he won
two races the same day.
Another old campaigner that raced 'ear
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
str.enuous game. Oro. also a member of
McCarthy's stable for a but? time, like
Norman B, figured in some record-break
ing races. Oro was foaled in 181'8 and in
1904 he earned a re<<>rd of 2:19',. in
1910 and 1911 he did some of his best
racing and reduced his record to 2:05' 4 .
Two Canadian pacers that will appear
on the grand circuit this season and give
battle wherever tlfco start are Major
Brine. 2:04V 2 . and The Eel, 2:02>.,. Major
’Brlno is fifteen years old. while The Eel
is ten. Brlno took a mark of 2:24',*> in
1904. while last var he 'dipped a second
off his record. The Eel has been racing
since 1908. While he has raced fewer
years than some of the other horses, lie
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 be is used in the
ice events in winter.
JIM STEWART DEFEATS
KENNEDY IN 10 ROUNDS
NEW YORK. June 18. - Jim Slewart,
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.

BETTORS THINK CAPONI
WILL LOSE HIS MATCH
CHATTANOOGA. TENN., June 18.—
Odds of two to one prevail here against
Tony Caponi, in his handicap match with
Joe Gorman tonight. The Italian lias
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.
One lone and lonesome virtue
can never make a well round
ed man. It’s not special
features that make the Ford
a great car—but the perfec
tion of all its parts. Not
one virtue, but the happy
combination of an endless
list of virtues, makes the Ford
“the universal car.”
Seventy-five thousand new Fords go into
service this season—-proof of their une
qualed' merit. The price is $590 for the
roadster, $690 for the five-passenger car,
and S7OO for the delivery car—complete,

HORINE IS GREATEST ATHLETE IN WORLD TODAY
NbJw YORK, June 18. —With the
gjegtest athletic team the world
has ever known now speeding its
"'ay acboss the Atlantic to win
glory for America in the Olympic
games at Sweden, is the greatest
athlete in thfe’world’s history. He
is not one of the all-around won
ders, he is riot a 'tremendously pow
erful strong man. he is not one of
those gifted with 'phenomenal en
durance. Uis 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
nothjng but the running high jump?
Answer, because he excels all rivals
in his specialty more than any
other champion excels his particu
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
het among them,selves 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 1, which is of so
much interest to the turf of America,
will be thrashed out in the ease of the
people against Paul Shane, of Manhat
tan. Shane was arrested at uie United
Hunts amateur racing meeting at Bel
mont Park terminal on Thursday, June
6, charged with violating the betting
laws. Rut, no matter what the de
cision on the hearing before Justice
Giffens, a final decision in the case by
the court of appeals can not be’ reached
before October.

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 alrfiost three inches, and
is more thafi fofir inches better
than the'highest leap of any other
man. Horine rntrde thts wonder

had the'good fortune to be one of

the jump was six feet eight and

Having been a high jumper our

Elms, the Cornell stroke, is suffering

phenomenal character of Horine's
feat. And we are treated to the
delecta.ble 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 tor 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 1908- In the pre
vious one. at *\th<ns in 1906.'C0n
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 oft 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.

CINCINNATI. June 18.— Wishing Ring,
a 4-year-ol<l colt owned by J. B. Respess,
a Cincinnati turfman, won the sixth race
at Latonfa at odds over 900 to 1. This Is
believed to be the largest price ever laid
against, a winning horse either through
the pari-mutuel system of betting such as
is used on Kentucky tracks or through the
old system of bookmakers. The odds were
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.
