Day of Annual Meeting—Crack
Runners Here for ‘Sport of Kings'
Inaugural handicap at six furlongs feature of this after
noon’s card—C. B. Irwin, Nesselhous, R. L. Baker,
Drumheller and Sims’ among notable stables here for
meet—Mud-runners will be out in full force today.
A muddy track curbs not the ardor of the lover of the
dashing thoroughbred and'-this afternoon will witness the
opening of the Ak-Sar-Ben summer meeting which is sced
uled to cover a period of 19 days.
Mud runners will be out in force. Wise old turfmen
scented the downpour in the offing and entered overnight
their best bets for a sloppy track. The public will there
fore have the opportunity of watching the speedsters frolic
- in soft going.
More than 450 thoroughbreds are congregated at Ak-Sar-Ben field.
The regular stable capacity was used up long ago and Incoming horses
from Kentucky, Maryland and elsewhere have had to find places under
the grandstabd where temporary stalls have been arranged.
The finest galaxy of cqulnes ever assembled at Ak field are ready
for the three-week campaign. These represent some of the leading stables
Ip the midwest. Notable barns whose colors will be flung into the wind
during the present meeting are the performers of C. B. Irwin. William
Nesselhous, Messrs. Cain and Sanford. George Drumheller, Milo Shields,
Col. R. L. Baker, William Sims and those of more than a hundred other
owners. Half a hundred jockeys are here to guide the various starters on
their speed yjourneys.
The opening day's card is head®-‘

six furlongs. A field of eight starters
have been attracted to the post by
the honor which goes with the captur
ing of the initial trophy an<| the luge
of attending purse. Abadane. king
of western throughbreds is slated to
engage In the battle. To him has
been accorded the honor of • high
weight, Racing Secretary Martin
Nathanson having posted a burden of
130 pounds on his back. Wolfs Cry,
a Kentucky crack. Delante, a Mis
souri bred tbree-year-old, and Wild
Heather, a former New Yorker, now
owned by W. Humphreys, a Denver
millionaire, are regarded as capable
of giving Abadane a battle. They re
ceive big weight allowances from
which they should benefit greatly.
The others will be outsiders—to use
the racing parlance..
There will be seven races on the
card. Two of these are at a mile
and for a better class of platers, three
are sprints of five and a half furlongs
and the opener brings out an octette

THE SNOWS OF
YESTER YEAR
They've Hone and They Hate the
Old Bleacliertte for
Company.
THERE haveV been many swift
switches in baseball of late sea
sons. The baseball has grown
everything but rabbit ears. The um
pires are guessing closer to decisions.
• • •
Home runs are becoming looser.
Complimentary tickets are tighter.
• • •
Doubleheaders are unpopular.
Rain Is no excuse.
• • •
Biggest change is in bleacher fans.
They are disappearing like cake at
a birthday party.
The old two-bit fan passed forth
several calendars ago. High price*
sunk his boat.
• • •
He simmered up from two-bits to
50 megs. Now he Is hovering between
life and 15 rents, wliicli is death to the
poor bleacher bug.
• • •
Have you ‘piped the Giants' and
Yanks’ new parks? Where are the
bleachers? They are with Moses
when the light went out.
• • »
There is just enough room at the
Polo grounds for a little second-hand
ed sunlight to filter through. Other
wise the grandstands are built up
closer than teeth on a buzzsnw. Name
at the Yanks. Name all through the
league. They are building their mez
zanine traps completely around the
parks, .lust leave enough of a crack
in renter field for a toy bleachers.
• • •
They would build the stands around
entirely, like a dislj surrounds soup,
only the batter requires some open
space back of the pitcher.
• • •
They will come close to making
baseball almost as intrlcste ns grand
opera by the time they get through
looping up the prices.
e • •
Philadelphia was known as a cheap
town because it was one of the last to
have two-hit baseball. Of course.
They still have U, nut they charge
more.
• • •
But If a town is called cheap be
cause It gives the hammer and*plck
guy a chance to see rich errors and
umpiring for a two hit slug, that's the
town where wo want to live In the
suburbs.
• • •
The hleacherite litis just about evap
orated In New York. They haven't
driven him Into the dollar stands. He
ha* given up baseball altogether!
• • •
You can't squeeze calorie* out of a
boiled tombstone.
The average working man cannot
afford to make mud pies even when
it rains.
• • •
And lie was the old hleacher stu
dent. When the prices go up like a
bam roof in a tornado. It naturally
wipes him off the cracked slate.

Kilbane Keady
to Swap Blows
With Criqui
Gray-Haired Featherweight .
Champ Will Defend Title
Today for First Time
in Three Years.
YORK. June 1 —
Grey-haired John
ny Kilbane of
Cleveland. hoMer
of the world’*
featherweight box
ing title for 11
year*, will defend
il tomorrow aner
noon at the Polo
ground!) in a 16
round match with
Eugene Criqui of
France, champion
of Europe at that weight.
Criqui, a wounded veteran of the
war. came to the United States buoyed
by 22 consecutive victories by knock
outs. Twenty-nine year* old. rugged,
a clever boxer and a stiff punch< r
with either hand, he has hopes of
wearing down the veteran and taking
the title. It is the same sort of cam
paign that carried Kilbane to victory
'over Abe Attell for the title in a Cali
fornia ring In 1912. Criqui today Is
about seven years beyond the age of
Kilbane when the Ohioian defeated
Attell, but the gruelling test of the
trenches during the war has made
the Frenchman a relentless fighter.
Criqui suffered serious wounds at
Verdun. After his recovery he re
turned to the ring and became a ter
ror to featherweights all over Europe.
Before the war he had been a fair
boxer with no punch—after the war
he was a great fighter and soon be
came champion. ^
Kilbane has had little ring work
duiing the last three years. In
preparation for tomorrow's engage
ment. he has. however, shown a good
deal of speed and all his old time
prowess with the glovSs.
Kilbane's long period of idleness
has been due to a great extent to
the refusal a? promoters to meet hi*
demands for large purses. The cham
pion refused to risk his title unless
he was guaranteed a purse of 1100 -
000. He will receive that amount for
boxing Criqui, It is reported. Five
preliminaries, including one four, two
six. and two eight-round contests,
will precede the championship con
test. The preliminaries will be started
about 2:30 o'clock eastern standard
time. Louis (Kid. Kaplan of Meri
den, Conn . and Babe Herman of Los
Angeles, will meet In the semi-finai
of eight rounds.
Kilbane and Criqui, In so far as
physical makeup is concerned, am
about evenly matched. Kilbane, how.
ever, is five years older than the
challenger.
