Julia M. Direct Takes All
Three Races in 2:05 Pace
* —Belmar Has Great
Day.
King Ak’s annual fall festival har
ness and running race meeting got
tinder way before a crowd estimated
at 4,500 at Ak-Sai Ben field yester
day afternoon.
Three harness races and a like num
ber of running events were on the
opening day’s prorfbam and in each
race thrilling finishes were reeled off
for the beneft of those present.
Vhe initial race on the card, The
Samson, 2:05 pace for a purse of
SI,500 proved to be the red-letter event
on the afternoon's harness program.
To the speedy little side-wheeler,
Julia M. Direct, went the race in three
straight heats. Driven by Marvin
Childs, one of Omaha's Grand circuit
harness horse pilots, went the honor
of holding the reins on this crack
little brown mare.
One might say that Childs had a
pretty good afternoon in the little
buggy. Besides driving Julia to three
first heat victories in the first race,
Childs came right back in the second
race and riding behind the trotter.
Gold King, owned by C. D. Bell of
Omaha, came in for three straight
second place divisions of the purse
in ihe Omaha "Chamber of Com
merce" 2:17 trot. Then in the third
race, 2:17 pace, hilled as "The Iowa.”
Childs drove Larkspur to a third, sev
enth and sixth place, all of which
wasn’t ro good. But Marvin held the
reins on tiie bay gelding and the
soil of Bon n Direct did his best, but
his best wasn’t good enough to take
away first money in each heat.
Yesterday’s opening races In the
annual fall festival harness race pro
gram mark the appearance of the
three-heat plan of racing In Nebraska.
Heretofore the majority of heat win
ners have decided races over the Ak
Sar-Ben track. But starting with yes
terday's program. Secretary Charlie
Trimble inaugurated the three-heat
plan, every heat a race, purse money
being on the rack for each heat win
ner.
While the Iirst flays program am
n’t race before the largest crowd that
ever graced the grandstand of an
opening day’s racing at Ak field, the
crowd was a sort of advance agent
for what will come within the next
three or four days.
Quartered in the stables at Ak field
are aome of the crack trottera and
paoera of the (‘Raging Grand," to say
nothing of the smaller harness rac
ing olrcults of this part of the coun
try. Then, there are runners; great
gobs of runnera. Some have been
ahipped to Omaha from Canada to
participate in the meeting before go
ing on to Tiajuana for the winter
racing aeason. Some have been ex
pressed up here from the Blue Grass
country of the south. They will per
form before Omahsns before leaving
for the southern part of California.
So, taking the Ak Sar-Ben meeting us
a whole there are mors high class
harness and running race horses here
this fall than ever before in the
history of King Ak'a career as a
promoter of race meetings.
Not one dull moment found Its way
in Tuesday’s program of three har
ness and three running races. Take
for instance the first harness race,
the 2:05 pace, known as "The Sam
son." Julia M. Direct, hy Walter
Direct, owned by R. W. Wright of
Nashville, Tenn., and driven by Mar
tin Childs, won each heat, but be
fore this speedy brown mare copped
the honors the fans were treated to
Writ clasay harness racing.
In the second heat of this race
Peter Daphne with B. Shively hold
ing the lines, closed in close to the
rail on the first turn and managed
to keep the lend until the last turn
when Childs gave Julia M. the reins
anil forged to the lead. Coming down
the stretch. Julia gradually Increased
her speed until she finished first for
the second time a good and easy win
ner of the second heat. Lady May
C, piloted by Henry Thomas, another
Omaha driver, finished second In this
heat and made It two. Henry took
liBdy out In second place at the word
where the daughter of Mitre Bearer
raced until the finish. Th» Ladv
tried hard ot put on a little extra
speed coming down the finish, hut
she couldn't catch the fast going Julia
M Direct.
Julia M. mane it tnree siraigni 11
the third heat when she paced th'
mile In 2:07 2-5 and copped the race
Childs didn't have much opposltlor
Until the last, turn when Eady Muj
C came up to second place only to
lose It In a tHrilllng finish drive to
Miss Marla. The latter finished the
first two heats in fifth place, but In
the third race got away good and
raced pretty well up throughout.
The Omaha Chamber of Commerce
2:17 trot, the second race of the day,
want to Belmar, bay mare by Mar
grave, owned by a Memphis (Tenn.)
outfit, Talor A Bowman. Taylor was
In the sulky and right well did he
know how to handle Belmar. Hlie
won all three heats In easy fashion,
although In the third race Oold King
with Childs on the other end of the
line* threatened Belmar ori the last
turn, but it was only for a short
time flold King finished second In
each heat, while Marguerite came
In third in the first race, fourth in
th* second and third In the final heat.
In the second heat Marguerite raced
In second position until she reached
the far turn where she broke and
fell back to third before Thomas
could get the daughter of Excellent
Axworthy down to earth.
Belmar took the third heat. In
rather easy fashion. He went to the
front on the first turn and was never
threatened for the remainder of the
Journey. Belrnar turned the mile In
1:06 3 5, 1:38 4-5 and 2:09.1-5 In
th* final heat. He trotted the first
mile In the best time, covering the
distance In 2:07 3 4.

THERE is a tendency in human
nature to overlook "the other
side'' of the story. Particularly
if our side of it is agreeable to the
forces of the will. Reason is some
times "the other side.” My philo
sophic friend. Ed Faust, takes up the
case for the poor down trodden fight
er of today:
"Is it true that all the world loves
a booster, the guy with the grin?
"Myself. I’ve usually found a good,
consistent knocker a whole lot more
interesting. In fact, It strikes me that
a good many of these grin-and-bear-it
people mostly do the grinning—while
I lie other fellow bears it. But if the
world in general didn't love a booster
what would the poor press agent do,
particularly the P. A. who specializes
in fight stuff?
"The wonderfully sportsmanlike—
at least that's what the sports writers
told us he was—Mr. Gibbons breaks
out In print (Journal please copy)
about what he would have done to
Dempsey if his hair hadn't got
mussed. Or was It that he left his
rabbit foot outside the ring? Anyway,
the fight was lost for any reason
other than the fart that the cham
pion was a better fighter.
"I^t Mr. Gibbons meet Mr. Demp
sev again—but not In the ring. Next
time Gibbons might not be fortunate
enough to be battling Jack Kearns.
And he might even be so unfortunate
as to have to stand up and fight in
stead of doing a Valentino for 15
rounds.
"Exit Mr. Gibbons, wealthier by
'27.000, deluged with theatrical and
movie offers and press agented into
a serious but unwarranted place as
a 'logical contender.* .
“ 'Sic Transit'—you fill in the rest.
"Why all the cry about boxers get
ting too much money? lines the man
on the street really care? Or Is it
sour grapes on the part of some
sports writers? I wonder. Ever hear
anybody complain that Ziegfcld
charges ton much for a ringside seat
at the Follies—or that Eddie cantor
earns too big a salary in that show?
Who was it said that Ford should
start making Ford cars for free dis
tribution, *r that all money makers
should quit making it? As the late
Bert Williams would saw NOB O D Y.
"If fight fans are entitled to see
the best men in boxing perform at
cut rates, then why not give Metro
politan opera at movie prices? Con
sider, please, the relatively short ca
reer of most boxers—10 years, about.
And the heartbreaking grind, to say
nothing of the physical injuries in
curred, that goes to make a champion
in any sport, particularly boxing.
How many boxers have gone blind?
How many have suffered broken
hands, ribs, etc.? The developed skill
of a Leonard, a Dempsey, a Britton
is surely well worth paying to see,
as a good many lovers of boxing will
testify.
"Why shouldn't such men get all
the money their drawing powers
justify? Not one good reason hns
been advanced, other than ths ingra
tiating plea on the part of certain
sports writers that ‘the dear public'
wants Its boxing—and wants it
cheap. Bunk. Personally I can't af
ford $50 for a ringside seat, nor $25
when it comes to that. But by the
same token I see no reason why I
should expect Mr. Dempsey any more
than I would expect Mr. Cantor to
entertain me at cut rates.
“Won’t some one have a kind word
for Dempsey, more decent by far than
many of his predecessors? What on
earth did he do to get all the knocks
he's received so far’ War record?
Korget it. I know dozens men who
were fitted to fight but didn't. All of
them wanted to go but couldn't. The
other was darned glad he didn't. But
nobody ever gives their cases a
thought. As a boxer—no, I mean
fighter—Dempsey has set the pace for
everybody In the game. Never be
littles a foe, never concerned in
scandal and r real credit to a dis
creditable profession.

Sale of Tickets
for Big Fight
Indicates fcS.R.O.’
More Than $1,000,000 Sold
Already—-General Admis
sion Tickets on Sale
Friday.
New York, Sept. 11.—Over $ 1,000,*
000 worth of tickets have been al
ready sold, it was reported tonight,
for the Dempsey Firpo fight this com
ing Friday night. There is no ques
tion of a sell-out. and indications are
that more than twice the 85.000 ca
pacity of the olo grounds could be
filled.
The. $25. $10 and $5 seats are all
gone, so tremendous has been the de
mand. and only $20 and 015 reserva
tions. roughly estimated at $200000
worth, remain, together with 20,000
general $3 admission tickets to be put
on sale at the grounds Friday after
noon.
It will easily be the second great
est "gate" In pugilistic history, and
if gome great arena was the scene
the record figures of $1,623,380.50 for
the Dempsey-Carpentler fight would
be hadly shattered.
The limit for the Dempsey-Carpen
tier tickets was $50. as this price
was allowed in New Jersey at the
time, whereas here in New- York the
boxing commission limits the top
price to $25.
Dempsey's share is figured to run
l>e:ween $400,000 and $500,000, while
Firpo is figured to cut in for between
$125,000 and $150,000 The champion
was guaranteed $300,000 for fighting
c'arpentier and demanded that much
for meeting Tommy Gibbons, but the
promoters of the latter event failed
to hand over the amount in full. It
will be Dempsey s greatest purse. Of
course, it will be Firpo's greatest.
Elsewhere you may read the story
of "Rahe" Cullen, the promoter who
gave Firpo $125 for his first fight in
this country a year ago. What a
jump up In the world for Ruis, erst
while bottle washer.
And for Dempsey, too, of course
fop it Isn t so many years ago sine*
Jack. Just s knockabout, would scrap
for little more than a week's board
1 ilt. It is Dempsey and Kearns—or.
better the latter, who has been main
!v responsible for such really astound
ing purses for fighting.

Nolan Fails to
See Any Merit
in Firpo’s Work
Larks Sheer Ability to Become
Champion in Opinion o'
Former Manager of
Battling Nelson.
By DAVIS i. WALSH.
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 11.—Add
to the oversupply of volunteer pall
bearers, who regard Lula Firpo an a
terrible mistake, the name of Billy
sfolan, celebrated reconteur, man of
the world and manager of Battling
Nelson in the days of Goldfield, Nev.,
and the immortal Joe Gan*. Mr.
Nolan is not much impressed with
the senor as a possible champion and
said as much today.
He is not particularly enamoured
of Jack Dempsey, either, Mr. Nolan
being what might be characterized
as a tough audience. He merely
thinks Firpo lacks the sheer ability
to become champion of the world, al
though willing to concede that the
Latin's strength and punch gi'e
him an outside chance on Friday
night, providing he is able and will
ing to take a beating in order to give
one.
"He is a big, powerful fellow
quoth Mr. Nolan with the air of
one who divulges a secret. "The
question in my mind is whether
he ran stand the gaff. He is sure
to take a terrible beating for I
never saw a challenger with less
defense than this man has. He
doesn’t seem to know what to do
when they start hammering him
in a clinch and I can't see how he
is going to avoid being hit often
with a hit hook.
' His own left Is a joke. He might
a* well tie It behind him for then
the temptation of trying to use It
would be removed.
However. 1 don't agree with you
fellows on the supposition that Demp
sey is a superman. Anybody that
can be hit can be hurt. If Firpo can
stand up under the punishment he
Is sure to receive for s few rounds
at least, he might be able to land one
good one with that right of his. Any
thing he hits with that is sure to be
hurt."
We hat n't the slightest reason
for doubling Mr. Nolan on that
point, sinre, less than 14 hour*
ago. we enjoyed the privilege of
matching hands with the I^atin
and finished an exceedingly poor
second. His fingers extended be
yond ours for a matter of an inch
and a half, and their thickness
through the knuckle was amazing.
Apparently we could have put our
entire hand In his palm.
Is Is said the challenger's hare
measures 10 1-2 Inches from thumt
tip to little finger and Is probably
the biggest and most compact paw
known to modern man It might be
mentioned, also, that a punch with
out an adequate hand is like a saw
without teeth.

•they say
it 's too good "
T HAVE heard it said that
1 La Paiira is too pood a
cigar for the price asked
Such a statement is non
sense, of course.
The real reason why we
nr sell so tine a near as
La Palina at the price we
do is because we are con
tented with a small margin
of profit Selling more than
one hundred and fifty mil!ion
La Pahnas tn a year, th.s
small margin enables us to
buy for La Paiira the ftre.'t
tobacco grown and to em
ploy only the finest methods
in its manufacture.
1 know that most smokers
would cheerfully pay more
for this eigar. Hut I would
rather hear a hundred men
say of la Palina. "It is too
good for the morey." than
to hear'one man say, "It
isn’t worth the price."
