# _ _ ■ Harry D Sensational Race Horse of Winter Turf Season HE sensational rare horse of the winter season is none other than Harry IT, ancient gelding, cast aside less than a year ago ns "just about utterly worthless." Eleven victories in lo starts—and still dashing along like wildfire. That's the old timer's record, with winter lacing hardly at Its zenith. The S year son of Barnsdale-Turnaway was quite a sired in his youth. But last winter he seemed to skid precipitately* His owner, C. B. Groves, concluded that he had outlived ids racing usefulness. Just as he was debating as to whether he should sell Harry I>. to a farmer or pass him along for laundry wagon hauling purposes. C. B. Irwin offered $800 for the old campaigner. Groves nearly knocked down Irwin in his eagerness to grab the $S0O and sign on the dotted line of the bill i)f sale. ' Irwin is one of the shrewdest judges of horseflesh in tiie world. But when raring folks learned he had paid $800 for a “broken down, all-in veteran" they shook their heads. Something doleful, they feared, had happened to Irwin. Harry Takes Vacation. • Hut Irwin just grinned at the com ments anil sent the gallant old geld ing on a vacation to Cheyenne, Wyo. All through the spring* summer and autumn, Harry 1>. did nothing hut loaf around to his heart's content— and rest up his tired legs. With the opening of the season in Tiajuana on Thanksgiving day, Irwin brought Harry l>. from the ranch to the race track, worked him out for a while, then saddled him and sent him to the post. Harry 11. lias been a "miracle horse" ever since. He had run 15 races up to the time this story was written, galloped home jn front 11 times and was second on two other occasions. He had run all distances, over all the various kinds of turf—dry, sloppy, heavy—and only twice has he failed to he in the money. Won Ills Purchase Price. fbe old gelding already has won kbout eight times his purchase price in purses for Irwin. Hike wise the Ir win stahlo connections, knowing his real greatness, has hacked him to the limit in his every start and has cleaned up hugely. Beatrice May Quit League dissatisfaction of business men and 1 asehall fans with tho management of tlis Beatrice, Neb., State league club last season may mean the trnns jter of the local franchise to some • ther city. The club finished the sea son with ttn indebtedness of some thing like $1,500 and this amount £iust be raised in addition to ^ sum necessary to finance the club through tlie season of 1923 if the franchise ia lctaincd. A change in managers in mid sea son last year cost the club a large sum of money. Ducky Holmes drained tlie treasury in an attempt to gather a galaxy of stars from the Pacific coast and other dislunt points, some of whom were released soon after their arrival. Then, too, ‘‘a fight a rlny kept the crowds away” and tho attendance at the end of tlie season wouldn't pay tlie visiting club's guar antee. Fairbury, champion of the 1923 sea son, is sure to be back in the circuit. Tho business men and fans of that burg are well pleased with their ar rangement witli George W. Sergrist, former Western league umpire, who j is handling tlie club on a monthly j guarantee and tlie gate receipts. Lincoln is sure to be in; ii^ fact, Manager Buck Beltzer has his team all lined up for spring practice. Tnc Beltzer brothers and Charley Moon built a nice baseball plant at. Lincoln j and are entitled to the success they are making of their club. While there is nothing certain about Hustings and Grand Island, Norfolk lias practically completed plans for the 1923 season. Tlie loss of Hunt Marr, who managed the club and won tlie pennant in the second half of the, split season Is regretted by the Nor tolk directors and fans. Marr led tho league ill batting and was considered the best fielding third baseman in the league. It was believed for a time that the j league would he enlarged to eight j clubs, hut this is rather doubtful. | Should the Sioux City Western league | club move. President Miles will try to induce the Iowa city to enter the Nebraska loop. It is rumored that George Scgrist has his eyes on Sioux City, and may plant a State league club in that city. What disposition ho would make of his Fairbury team is not known. Kansas Quintet Wins. Norman. Okd..

Champion of Women Bowlers Won’t Place Title in Classic Mrs. II. W. Huff, who Sunday ascended the woman’s state champion ship pedestal l>y virtue of her victory over Mrs. T. It. Jameson in a special five-game match at the' Omaha alleys, will not place her tide in a classic to bo contested for by Omaha women. Prior to the championship match Mrs. Jameson endeavored to make an agreement whereby the winner should declare tho title open in the near future and a tournament be staged to decide the championship. Mrs. Jameson believed tins system,t which is used to decide the men's singles championship, would augment interest in the game and afford many splendid bowlers in the city an op portunity to compete in a champion ship match. Mrs. Huff, who held the title one year, losing it in HI16, said she pre ferred to defend it against chal lengers as has been the custom in the past. Eventually, if successful in defending it, she may put the title in a classic, she sai£ Mrs. Jameson challenged her con queror immediately' following tlie match, buf a return series cannot be bowled until after another challenger has had a crack at the crown. Mrs. Huff clinched the champion ,J-. ship by staging a rally In the fourth and fifth games, after Mrs. Jameson, who was leading by 6 jdns at the end of the third, "cracked” badly.

Central to Plav Fremont Today * Omaha basket ball fans have a midweek rage treat on tap this nf’er noon at Creighton gymnasium when Central High and Fremont play. The Purple tossers were given their final practice last night and Coach Hill reports bis hoopmen to be in top shape for this afternoon's tilt. The out-staters come to meet the Purple with a fast bpnch of indoor court ar tist.*. The locals have been setting a fast stride thus far this season and are considered one of the strongest contenders for state honors. There are apt to he some new faces in the lineup against the visitors this afternoon on account of the excellent showing made by the Purple substi tutes last week. Galloway has been forcing Percival at the tipping post on the local quint and "Many” Robertson has showed himself able to hold a berth on the hilltop five. This new recruit played a good game against the BlufTmen at forward and also showed tip well in the Grand Island contest at guard. lie registered six of his mates’ weekend pointers. Andy Had Engbereg Picked as Cinch Jack Lewis and Andy Sclunader have returned from St. Paul, where last Friday night Sclunader was knocked out hy Emil Engberg in the first round. Schmader, according to Lewis, thought he was going to have a. cinch. Mike Gibbons was in the Nebraska heavyweight’s corner and informed Andy that Engberg would be duck soup. So at the opening bell Schmader charged toward the center of the. ring as happy as a school girl. Mr. Engberg met libn with one started from centerfield. Schmader walked right into it, and the fight was over. Billy Wells Is “Beau Brummel of Prise Ring” Nope, he's no Wall street broker. He’s Billy Wells, prizefighter, who meets Morrie Schlaifer In a 10-round bout In the Auditorium Friday night. Wells has all the earmarks of a business man, though, as his picture shows, a semi-cauliflower ear is the only mark he carries from nearly 200 ring battles. Wells could justly be termed the “Beau Brummel of the ring," for he is as fastidious a dresser as Georges Carpentier.

"Chuck" Knapp and Eddie Mack will race for the backward cham pionship next Friday Champion Is Worried Over Vi ills Battle Dempsey Wants Three Bouts ami Fears Go With W illanl as a Starter W ill Hurt Other Fights. K\V VOKK, Jan'. JO. —Sunday, a blizzard, ind tlie sudden de cision of Jack Dempsey to go to Lakewood and es cape the chatter and argument of the managers and pro moters left the situ ation unchanged and quiet. The situation, summarized is tills: Dempsey wants three fights, winding up with Wills in late June or early July. lie doesn't care much who the first two arc, hut is a hit disturbed about Willard, not because lie thinks him dangerous, hut because he fears if Willard makes a bad showing it will hurt the main bouts, and if Willard stays any length of time he will be accused of holding him up. Kearns, Dempsey's manager, wants three fighls, winding up witli Wills. He Is firm for a Willard fight and argues that the big fat fellow will make a better showing than any of the others. He states flatly that no one of the three promoters seeking to stage the bouts has any preference, but they must show him. He demands proof that they have ample backing, and that they can go through with matches after arranging them. Harry Frazee, backers unknown, has made a flat ofter of about $500,000 for a match between Dempsey and Willard, to be staged in the new Yan kee stadium about June 30. He has no lease or agreement to use the park, but evidently feels certain he can get it. Frazee was a backer of the scan dalous Willard-Johnson fight at Ha vana, lost a lot on it, and wants it back. Tnm O'Rourke, backers unknown, or under cover, (Stoneham, JMcGraw and others are mentioned) lias made a verbal offer on a percentage lasis for three fights to be staged in the Polo Grounds, winding up with Wills, the other two to he picked from W ilia I'd, Tom Gibbons, Firpo, Beckett, or other heavyweights agreed upon. Tex Rickard has suggested two bouts—Willard and Wills, and lias given $1,000 for six days in which to study tho situation. Kearns told me positively that Rickard would not stage Dempsey's bout, but may have changed ills mind. Rickard is firmly set for a Willard bout in spite of strong opposition in many quarters to allowing the big fellow to try again. He. and all oth ers concerned, excepting Willard, deny that there is any contract. Rut Wil lard had at least verbal promises of a return match and someone brought him here this trip. Puryear Returns from Coast. Earl Puryear. the bantamweight fashion plate, has returned to Oma ha after several months on the Pa cific coast, where he tried out the four-round game. Puryear had several fights on the coast and made a good impression up on tlie fans, hut the supply of box era of his weight is limited out there and he ran out of opponents. Thus his return.
