I V HIE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 19. 1910. WtiwiT IS THE BIG THING Match Well Made is Ilalf Won, Re cording to Authorities. SEVEBAL GOOD EXAMPLES CITED (Inns Conerdrd Weight to Nrlmn urnl l,mt List of Flahters and Thr Ir Wrlghta and , Classes. NEW. YOmC, June IS. Much of Uio bick ering between boxers has tcn due to the question of weight. "A match wrll made la half won" la an anion cloly followed try maiKiKvrs of pugilists, and as a result they UHually exert themselves to, secure an iJvanUiKo In the matter of welxht. If a bo.vr can bo brought Into the ring at a weight which prevents him from fighting . at liia beat it amount to a heavy handi cap, so that it has been the aim of many managers to arrang a match with a view 9t weakening opponents. The BtroiiRcst exompllflcatlon of these tactics was In the bouts between Joe Gans and Itattllris; Kelson. Although Cans was the lWMwi'iKlit champion he was so eager for Die flimncinl returns unsured by a flijht With the pane that he permitted Nel son to Jllctate 1:13 pounds, rlngnlUe, the men to wear trunks and shoes on the scales. This ..brought (Jans Into the ring at 131 pounds,, a weight at which the lialtlmore hegroYWa unable to show his best form, and It Is questionable If .Gans' ill health at tho prcBent time was not due directly to th weakening effects of his preparation for both scraps With the Battler. It Is comparatively easy for boxers and their managers to haggle over the weight question, fur the reooon that no authorita tive rules on the subject exl.Ht and the only guidance Is precedent. But even prece dent Is. frequently Ignored by. tltleholders, who tlx the weight at a figure favorable to themselves. In several Instances when . champions have outgrown ,i clans they have set the weight notch close up to the limit ,of the class above. Terry McOovern did tills. In the featherweight division when ' he fought Young Corbett at 126 pounds and afterHhe mill setting up the claim that he had no lost his featherweight title, as the weight waa 121 pounds, the accepted limit In this' country. McGovern, by the way, was a .victim of sharp practice when he met the late George' iJlxon, from whom he . won the featherweight championship. Tom O'Hourke, Dixon's manager, thinking that McGovern would be very strong at 121 pounds', set the weight at 118 pounds, ring side. 1 But McGovern happened to be strong enough at that weight to best the little colored fighter Into a atate of submission. Fight for Few Founds. Freddie Welsh, the English lightweight champion, after he had won that title at 136 pounds, scaling six hours before ring time, refused to meet Packey MoFarland unless- the latter agreed to scale at 133 pounds. AbeAttell, tho present American featherweight champion, was ready to meet Jem Drlsooll at 125 pounds, ringside, in the fight 'that was recently declared off, as Driscoll positively declined to make a match at 122 pounds. Johnny Coulon, who " ' says Ji la the American bantam cham pion, contrary to precedent has fixed the limit 1 V. I ..In-.. 11K -I I U thereby" shutting out Jimmy Walsh and other good boya who cannot get under 118, the recognised bantam limit on. this side of the Atlantic. In view of the fact that precedent Is the only factor In fixing the weights the poundago at which the cham pions In the various classes have defended their titles will prove interesting to stu dents' of pugilistic form. They are as fol lows:. Bantam Class Jimmy Barry at 105 to 115 rounds; Terry McGovern, 116; Harry Forbes, 116; Frankle Nell, U6; Jimmy Wlh, 116; Johnny Coulon, 116. International Bouts McGovern-Palmer, Nell-Ikwker, Bvans-Bowker and Walxh Btanlt', all at 116. Coulon's claim is with out basis and precedent overwhelming in favor of 113. Featherweight Class Cal McCarthy, 115; George Dixon, US, 118 and 122: McGovern, 122 to 136: Attell, 122 to 126. Majority of bouts at 122. lightweight Class Jack McAullffe, 133 to 138: Kid Lavlgue. 133 to 136 at 8 p. m., at which weight he lust his title to Frank Krne; Joe Gans won the title at 136 and lost It to Nelson at 13m; Nelson, 131ft to 133, ringside, losing his title to Ad Wolgust . at the latter figure. Precedent favors 133.

YORK, June lS.-Jt is reported around the local rooe tracks that it the racing billa go through In Albany and are finally ),vpheld by the courts tht several of the. most prominent stables will be ship ped abroad once more, but this time to Germany instead of England. In the matter of racing and the breeding of race horses, as in many others, Germany la working steadily ahead, which Is suffi ciently, demonstrated by a survey of last year's doings. Premier honors are due to the state stud at Grudits, which, during 1SW8. won an aggregate of 7G1.6DS marks, or ubout 190,000. of which 125,000 were won in Austria,' and which Is a record figure for German studs. YJe Gradlts stud is only sec ond to Vanderbllt In France, with, 1230,640, as farjas European wins for 1909 are con cerned Messrs. Weinberg had to put up with second place of German stables, only winning S42.T61 marks, but slnco they started their stable In 1883 their horses have won a total of 4,105,083 marks, or, roundly peaking, tl, 000,000. The aggregate of prize' money on Oerman race courses during 1909 amounted to 7,780, 000 murks. In addition to which there were 1,169 special prises. Of the money. 4.340,000 marks were for flat races, and 1. 440,000 marks for steeplechases. There were al together J70 rating days, with Z.168 events, and Il.tH horses starting. The attention paid to steeplechaslng Is evidenced by the fact that while there were only 631 races on the flat, with 4.W3 competing horses, there were L4V7 steplechaaea, with I. Ill horses starting. On the flat. The Marshal (Qra Oils) head the list with a win of 107,697 marks, halt of which has been won in Aus tria. This Is not a particularly high figure, not quite amounting to half of Faust's (M. Weinberg) win the previous year, which was 1H.JM marks, or close upon tii.M. ' Patrick has been the most successful sire as far as flat racing goes, his progeny Lav. tng won 436.000 marks. Uaueva Trtua Brlvlders. GKNEVA, Neb., June IS.

T. MOORK. The State Board of Education has elected W. T. Moore as base ball coach for the summer session at Peru normal. Mr. Moore was catcher of the Peru 1(10 champions and In his election the board has assured the normal a strong team for the summer session and has pro moted one of the hardest Working ot (Scott's pupils. Moore, who waa gradu ated from the normal this year, has played four years fin college teams. Tho first three he played with Doane college and this season was one of the chief mainstays in the Peru team that won the state college championship. He has earned the reputation of being the best catcher ' and team leader in, the college circuit, none of his pitchers ever being roughly handled by the opposing team. His knowledge of inside base ball made the Peru team this year Invincible and assured the championship from the start. His former pupil, Orth, captain ot the Doane team, failed to hold his own at the crucial moment and Peru won the championship from Doane. He has the good will of the faculty and students and enjoys the entire confidence at the play ers. Ho has a. heavy, schedule of games arranged for the summer and has already developed a strong team. He has been elected to the Latin department of the Bpearfish Normal school. South Dakota, for next year. He will have charge of the base ball in addition to his regular teaching work.

AUTO SPEEDWAY FOR OMAHA Dealers Hare Decided, Time is Bipe to Have a Track for Uie. OLD FAIR GROUNDS CONSIDERED Detestation Looks Over Proposed Sites Money for Track In Sight -Interest Is Keen for ( Baelns. Omaha is tw be tne canter of automobile racing ot the middle weet If plans sug gested by the auto dealers of the city and others Interested In the sport are carried out. Thoeo who want auto racing In tills part of the country have started a movement to secure land and make a race track which will compare with any in tha country for speed and acoommodatlime. For some time the sentiment In favor of such a move has been growing, but noth ing waa done until Friday noon, when a number of auto dealers of the city and others interested in automobiling gathered at the Commercial club and dlscumed the advisability of Incorporating and providing an auto speedway In mis city. As a result a number of those who are en thusiastic over the proposition went out to tba okl state fair grounds, southwest of Elmwood park, and looked over the ground with an idea of planning a speedway. The track that waa used when Otnaih had the state fair several years ago was gone over carefully and a great many were en thusiavtio over the Idea of converting the ground into an auto speedway.' Several other locations have been viewed by the promoters and a choice will be made according to the terms that can be made for a lease. Old Fair Grounds Best. If the proper arrangements can be made with the owner of the eighty acres of ground that comprised the old fair grounds it la possible that work will begin In the near future to construct a speedway for automobile races. It la expected that 1 10,oov will have to be expended to put either the fair grounds or the other locations In mind In shape, but the aurto dealers of tha olty, as-well as others who are willing to back such a venture, am ready to subscribe for stock. In cose a location should be decided upon, the Omaha Automobile Speedway associa tion will be organised and work will begin at once for the building of the track. Several auto dealers and enthusiasts are awaiting the word from those who have the project in hand to subscribe to the stock. It is thought that there will be no trouble whatever to raise a sufficient sum of money to put any project through that will be suggested by the promoters. In case the old state fair grounds should be determined upon It Is almost an assured fact that the street car company and the Missouri Pacific company will make ar rangements to transport spectators to the grounds. The lnterurban line between Fre mont and Omwha will pass the site If the old fair grounds are chosen. In case a deal is made for the lease of Che fair grounds. It is expected that the track will be In readiness within sixty days. Princeton Takes Yale Into Camp, Winning Series Tigers Lower 11 Colors. Seven to Fire, Before Record Crowd in New York Ball Park. NEW YORK, June 18. Before one pf the largest crowds that has ever witnessed a college base ball game, Yale went down to defeat before Prlnceon yesterday, by 7 to t in the deciding game of a series of three at American League park. Princeton played an uphill game, and her victory waa due to pluck that persisted even when it seemed certain the tiger would be dragged by the tall into the dust. . The Tigers began scoring la the opening stanza, getting one run after Ballin had gone out. Yale rushed four tallies across the plate in the second. Merrit's lnl(eld hit, 8. V. White's error, and a hit bats man filled the bases, and Stevens brought In three Yale runs with a three-bagger to right. Stevens scored on Badger's double. 'Princeton scored one run each in the fifth, and sixth frames, and in the seventh jumped Into the lead. Warrick was hit by a pitched ball, and .Woodle sacrificed.

Interest In the Froposed Baoe Track Deal The meting of Omaha Auto dealers at tha old race track at tha fair grounds last week will result In good things for Omaha, many of the dealers ray. West man, an old racing man. pronounced It the beBt track, with necessary work on It, that he evere saw, Dealers generally believe ' that a deal should be made with the owners of the property, and that work should begin at once to making a track. Many of the smaller towns around Omaha have held meets this year, and they have been won derfully successful. Omaha seems to be ripe for auto racing. A committee of auto dealers have the matter now In hand, and If they work fast and everything favors It, there will be racing "going on" before tho hot weather Is over. Application has been made '.hro'igh patent attorneys, Whlttemore, Hulbort, and 'Vrhlttemore of Detroit, for a patent on an automobile front door to be known as the "Dutch Detachable Forward Door." W. J. Mead, Secretary and General Man ager of the Olds Motor Works, is the In ventor of this door, which promises to gain Immediate favor among motorists. - The "Dutch" door is built in two sec tions, upper and lower. These, by means of dowels, are fitted together as a unlt, thus necessitating the use of but one han dle and lock, which Is fitted to the lower half. Somt-forward doors have been a dis tinguishing feature of the Oldsmobile for years, and now that the straight line effect la popular tha "Dutch door" is used to give this effect. At the same time It has an advantage over the ordinary high front door, because the upper half can be easily and quickly removed or the entire door can be taken otf without In any way detracting from the appearance ot the car. Mr. Mend is receiving congitatulatlos on all sides, as dealers and owners have quickly recognised the merits ot the new "Dutch" door.

'A native of Racine, having been born there on February 36, 1869, Captain Lewis has assumed tha great responsi bilities of directing the big manufacturing plants with the ardor and confidence that marked tha regime ot his father, W. T. Lewis, former president ot the Mitchell & Lewis Wagon company as well as the Mitchell Motor Car company and recently appointed chairman of the executive com mittee of the merger after rounding out half a century in building up one of Wis consin's great industries.

In an official tense the rules do hot provide a penalty for tire changes or Injuries on con testing cars In any way. So Ions; as the driver keeps his engine running he Is priv ileged to replace his tires all around, or make any repair desired. It Is for this reason that The Diamond Rubber company Introduced the practiced measuring tire results by the average mileage coat per car for tire equipment. All the tire man ufacturer, whose product Is represented on the competing or official cara. carry from point' to point a -reserve stock of canlngs and tubes to supply any demand that may be made of them. The Diamond company ships a score ot tires from control to con trol each day, and, as the local express of fices all have instructions from headquar ters to give these shipments Immediate at tention, there is not likely to be any rase of tires falling to be on hand when needed. The total requirements will be but a amnll number of extra tires, but the desirability of having at hand a fresh tire of the alse desired. If it should be needed, Justifies the expense.
