    Curtain Rises on Ak-Sar-Ben Running and Sulky Meeting This Afternoon
-- _ _ ■ ■ —— ——
King Ak Offers
Royal Sport to
Lovers of Turf
Three Racing and Trotting
Races, and Three for Run
ners on Program for
Today’s Meet.
By GEORGE W. SCHILLING.
All roads will lead to the Ak-Sar
Ben field this afternoon, where the
fall harness and running race meet
ing will be ushered in to continue
for a period of 17 days.
The program for this afternoon is
a most promising one. Some of the
l>est trotters in the land will vie for
honors in the three feature races
that have been arranged for these
sulky stars. The runners will parade
after the harness events have been
decided. The fields in the two sprint
events are large ones and picking a
winner appears to be an arduous
task. There is contention galore in
all of the races and the ones that hap
pen to be on the successful horses
r should indeed consider themselves
lucky. oHwever the card promises
' racing of metropolitan flavor and
some stirring finishes should be the
result of each and every contest.
In the initial event, the 2:05 pace,
those who have a knowledge of the
side wheelers have a hankering to
support Peter Daphne to cop the
spoils. Driver Shively will handle the
ribbons and this gentleman of the
sulky knows his stuff when it comes
to steering in a winner. He should
find his main opposition in Julia M.
Direct who, with Marvin Childs sit
ting directly behind her tail, figures
a keen contender. Of the others en
tered to “take the word’’ Lady May
C looks the best.
Belntar 2:17 Trot Favorite.
If one listens to the men that “mas
sage ’ the sulky steeds the 2:17 trot
appears to be all over but the shout
ing. It is hard to find one “In on the
know" that likes anything to take
this event except Belmar. According
to them Belmar is "picking ’em up
and laying ’em down” of a morning
in a manner which signifies that the
mare is in extra fine fettle. Marvin
Childs, who will cock his legs up
behind Gold King, promises to give
Belmar a merry tustle for the long
end of the purse when he calls on his
charge for the supreme effrt.o Mar
guerite C is well liked by her stable
connections and should take some
part of the spoils.
The third event which is the 2:17
pace appears to be a toss-up between
Maud C, Bell edo, Betty Lou and
Larkspur. The rallblrds report Maud
C to be going along In a manner
which promises an early victory, and
such being the case I am going to
string T. E. Mann of Spencer of
Spencer (la.), who will occupy the
seat in the sulky. Take your pick of
the others,, it’s too tough for me to
select.
CAPONI KNOCKS OUT UIM
According to a report received
here, Tony Caponi, Junior light
weight boxer, knocked out Jack
Lawlor, Omaha lightweight, in the
eighth round of a scheduled 15-round
bout at Shreveport, La., Labor day.
Wausa.—Wausa beat Randolph 1n a
loosely played contest at the Cedar county
fair, 12 to 8. Conyers, who started the

the box In the second inning and was
replaced by Townsend.

And the conclusion win ths on*
that .tnrk Kearns hoped they would
tnke hwhv with them. lror Kearns
likes to have a little wager on his
champion every time Dempsey goes
to the fistic post, and U'lirns always
seeks ths heat odds.
Inasmuch as the i|tiotat|ons have
been hanging around 2 to 1 that
Dempsey will win, and Inasmuch ns
they have since broken J 1 J to 1. hi
Some places, 2 to 1. since the experts
decided Dempsey was not ns good ns

delight of Kearns and the Insiders in
the Dempsey camp who want to mnkn
a wagering cleanup on the battle.

Secret of Dark
Garage at Firpo
Camp Revealed
Goes Through Drill There
Every Morning With Right
Arm Strapped to
Side.
Atlantic City, N. J.. Sept. 10—The
mystery of the darkened garage
achieved the denouement today with
a semi authoritative statement that
Buis Firpo indulges in his morning
drill with his right arm strapped se
curely to hia side. The statement was
vouchsafed by a man who keeps his
index finger on the pulse of affairs
at the challenger's camp and is sup
posed to be the tru'h, wholly, entirely
and nothing but.
The object of this maneuver is ob
vious. Firpo has the right-handed
complex in its most malignant form
and only by restraining that member
with a strap can he give his left the
amount of exercise necessary to com
plete its education, if any. The Idea
Originated with Jack Kearns, who
cured Dempsey of an inept left hand
by the same method, but F.rpo seem
ingly has no diffidence about borrow
ing from his friends, the enemy.
In fail. I.uis lias very little dif
fidence about anything. It was
learm d that the "gate” out at the
dog track amounts to a snug (2,000,
two-thirds of which goes to Firpo.
And while Firpo is preparing to
take a flock of knuckles from Demp
sey and Slot),000 from Rickard, he
declines to pay his sparring part
ners for the days that they do not
obtain an actual bout with him.
They must, however, present them
selves, to training quarters In ring
togs under pain of being dismissed.
For upward of a week, old Jeff Clark
has been out at the dog track, re- .■»*.
tor work but It fcasn t got him any
thing except the trip in the street
car. Frank Koebeie, former Brook
lyn amateur, hasn't been invited to
step into the ring for two days and
athe Argentinian, Pera, has been idle
and consequently devoid of dinero for
ten days. They are piece workers.
This is not orthodox, but Firpo is
nothing if not umiEual. What the
public does not know, however, is
that the Argentinian, after eating a
meal that would goal any other ath
lete. usually lays down and falls into
profound
As for hi* alleged attempt to make
something out of a more or less
harmless left, we would say, offhand,
that the Argentinian hardly has the
time at hi* disposal to succeed in
that laudable endeavor. He would
reed upward of five weeks to achieve
anything. He has just five days be
fore stepping out against -lack I>emp
sey at tile Polo grounds. A* a matter
of fact, those five day* will be quite
worthless as far as they might con
tribute toward teaching an old dog
new tricks. Firpo has displayed an
inclination to cut down his training
during recent days and is expected to
reduce his amount of work in pro
portion as the hour for the bout
proaches.
It was rumored today that F.rpo I
left hand wag hampered by a touch
of neuritis, but the evidence has been
to the contrary. The member :s
gradually Improving as a weapon of
attack and our source of information
lays this fact acainst the morning
workouts in the deserted garage.
