    Ak Racegoers Get Thrill When Miss Stineman
Breaks Bit and Runs Away
Thomas Makes
Brilliant Stop;
Leaps From Sulky
Superb Finishes Mark Every
Race—Another Great Day
for Marvin Childs With
Ribbon Cane.
By L. C. GRAHAM.
Beside providing all the customers
at the Ak-Sar-Ben track with close
finishes and excellant racing an un
: . heduled thrill was put on in the first
he t of the second harness race. Miss
8 peman, owned by George Boyn
ton, Aurora. 111., and driven by Henry
Ti'.omas, became frightened when the
bit in her mouth broke.
The bit parted as the horse swung
in‘o the home stretch well ahead of
Hie field. Miss Stineman drew against
the reins, felt no responding pull and
ran away. Thomas did everything
in Ills power to stop the horse after
the fnish was passed but was un
successful.
As Miss Stineman rounded the third
quarter pole for second time Thomas
leaped from his sulky to ifcr back,
took a firm grip of the over check
rein and stopped the horse. Old
trackmen spoke of the feat as as
tounding and declared that nothing
to equal it had happend but once be
fore. on a track in Illinois.
Straight Heats for Ribbon Cane.
In every race the finishes were
superb. Ribbon Cane, Marvin Childs
driving, took three straight heats in
the first. In every heat another
horse contended In the stretch and
made Childs drive Ills best to win.
Time of the heats was. :30 1-4,
1:01, 1:31 1-2. It was a 2:08 pace
over a three-quarter mile track. Hal
N. C. A., B. Shively driving, took
■second, and Dillon Reaper, Dennis
driving, came in for third money.
Miss Stineman .took first In the first
heat of the second race, making the
three-quarter mile course In :31li.
1:04>4, 1:37V4- She was considered dis
tanced after the second heat and was
not started in the third.
An extra heat had to be run to
choose the winner of the race. The
second heat went to The Worth. Earl
Hart driving, and the thlisd heat lo
Ellnore K, Dennis driving. Ellnore K
succeeded in easily capturing the ex
tra heat.
In each heat they ran: First heat,
Miss Stineman. Henry Thomas driv
ing; Maxey Beau, Douglas driving;
Altona, Hawley driving. Second heat:
Tho Worth, Ellnore K, and Maxey
Beau. Third heat: Ellnore K, Maxey
Beau, The Worth. Time: :31Vi. 1*4V4,
1:37%; :31»i. 1:03*4, 1:37; :32V4. 1*4,
1:37; In the special heat, :3J, 1:04V*.
1:40.
Evenly Matched Third Race.
The third race was the most even
ly matched on the card. Each time
the pacers got away to an excellent
start and held In a bunch all the way
around. The first heat went to Mary
March; time. :31. 1:02V4, 1:35%. Ben
Kitchen came second and Eva Spier,
third.
The Ftqpnd heat went to Eva Spier;
time, :31, 1:02Vi, 1:36. Larkspur took
second and Mary March, third. The
third heat was. taken by Larkspur:
time, :31, 1:03Vi, 1:36%. Eva Spier
raced a close second with Mary March
on her heels for third. The deciding
heat was won by Eva Spier.
Four running rai s v. .re staged at
the close of the harness events. The
jbckeys were no slower than the har
ness men in furnishing entertain
ment.
Eleven in Fourth Racn
A field of 11 horses started In the
first running race, the fourth event
of the day. Querulous, H. Doyle up,
got away to a good start and held
the lead all the way down the course,
finishing JUBt a ‘‘jump'’ atv ad of
Seth s Memory, J. Singleton up. and
Seth's Flower, H. Zander up, finished
% snappy third.
Dovesroost, J. Singleton up. came
up out .of the ruck 4n the next race
to Like first pplace; Moon Winks. E.
Taplin up, raced hl.n up the stretch,
but failed to start soon enough to
overtake the leader. Neg, L. Arm
strong up, made a rushing finish for
third place.
Full Moon, winner of tho sixth
event, was claimed off her owner, J.
B. McGinn, by D. A. Moore after she
crossed the wire a winner. She was
the only horse claimed yesterday.
Faithful Girl took a place, and Toom
beola, despite his sore legs, showed.
Donatello Wins by Dig Nose.
The closest finish of the day came
In the last event when Donatello and
Joe Campbell crossed the wire. Joe
Campbell, I*. Armstrong up, got
away to a good start and held the
had more than half way around.
Donatello, O. Button up, took things
easier until the three-quarter pole
was in sight, then he let himself out.
The two thoroughbreds came down
tin- stretch nock and neck and Dona
tello only succeeded In winning by a
nose. Bill Mead came In for a poor
third w.'tb Overstep, favorite, way
back In the ruck.
The truck waa fast and the clear
day and warmer weather attracted a
larger crowd than has attended the
meet previously. The crowd was al
most as large during the harness
races as It was for the runners. Other
days the early crowd has l»cen very
thin.

Crowds Make It
Hard for Police
at Polo Grounds
By DAMON RUNYO.
Stuff Corrmpondent The Omaha Bee.
Polo Grounds, New York, Sept.
14.—as early ss four o'clock this af
ternoon, wild-eyed dftlzons were tear
ing up toward the Polo grounds for
the Dempsey Firpo fight. At five
o’clock there was a snarl of human
ity outside the gates that required
the services of a big squad of police
to unravel.
A large number of men who had no
tickets, and no chance to get any,
were umong the early arrival*. They
knew they were net going to get In
side the yard, but they Just wanted
to be close at hand.
The old viaduct across 155th street
wa* festooned with idlers. Coogan’s
bluff behind the western end of the
grandstand, was decorated with both
ladies and gentlemen. For many
years past Coogan's bluff was a
great point of vantage for a free peek
at doings Inside the oval below, but
the new Improvements at the Polo
grounds have put the cliffs out of
business.
Grandstand Around Field.
The grandstand now extends alt
around the field, save in a short sec
tion of ernterfleld. where the bleacher
seats run slanting toward the sky
line. It Is not possible to see more
than a few Inches of the Interior of
the yard from the cliffs where the
gonts once played but the folks still
love to stand up there on the edge of
the excltment.
Inmates of the appartment houses
on Washington Heights overlooking
the ground took to the roof early In
the evening, but they too. have been
cut off from their old time free vista.
It seems almost an Infringement on
their rights
Weather l lear.
The weather was a bit cool, but
overhead the sky was sweetly rlenr.
It was n typical autumn evening. It
was also typical Rlrkard weather. The
luck of the famous promoter with
the weather has become proverbial.
He has yet to have a postponement
of one of his btg outdoor egents
through bad weather. Once or twice,
notably the Dcmpsey-Cnrpentter fight
and the milk fund show, things
looked dubious for him at the start,
but he had always managed to get
his gropram through without Inter
ference.
It was Just chilly enough to send
the excited ringworms td the Polo
grounds under light overcoats and
they felt very comfortable after the
aun went down, which was about the
time Jimmy Flynn, the little Irish
tenor, was climbing Into the ring and

who were presently Introduced as
Lou Brown, of Australia and Don
Bright, of England, the first weighing
208 pounds, the other 207. They oth
looked all their weight.
While the large young men were
sitting on stools In different corner*.
Humphreys began looking anxiously
around for someone. If developed
that he was seeking llllly Joh, the
official counting timekeeper.
"Where la he?" demanded Joe No

■'Well, we can't wait for him,” said
Joe. Then he began making vocl

Amid the babble you frequently
heard the soft sroents of the Latin

white trunks. As he seated h mself

by Joe Benjamin, Pacific coast light
weight, and Jerry Luvardls, his
trainer.

business representatives; Horatio La
valle and Guglielmo Widmer were in
charge of the challenger's corner.

tion when he was announced ns "out
own Jack Dempsey, champion of the
world. ’ Firpo also got a tremendous
reception when he bowed to the crowd
after his introduction.
Johnny Gallagher of New York was
named referee. He brought them to
the center of the ring for Instructions

the purple velvet of night.
Crescent Moon.
By 7:15 the crescent moon, usually
assoc..ited with scenes of lo\e utstead
of conflict, had ascended to a point In
the heavens where It was visible from
the ringside. One by one electric
lights were switched on In the upper
ti-jr of the grandstand.
Over the edges of the ramparts en
circling the diamond could be seen a
mass of non paying spectators atop a
sky-scraping apartment.
Most of the lights In the stadium
were twinkl ng their prettiest as the
hour for the first preliminary |p
preached.
The ring Itself was the scene of
the greatest activity. Two somber
workmen, quite tin mpressed hy the .
“erlousness of their task, dropped '
some great chunks of resin Into the
car.vased floor and then ground
them to powder with their heels. i

desired.
"Sock him: wallop h'm; kill him

This afternoon the champion to- '-t
a walk similar to the one he had th:s
morning and played cards when be

a luscious steak and a goodly portion

time after the champion. H:s bod;.

But Luis dlii not look hungry .
Jess Willard, a victim of both fight

a howl.
At S J " o'clock police estimated

that inside the arena. Those who
could get tickets and those ticket
holders who came late, poured into
the grounds from the mass as streams
of water from a bucket, flowing into
funnels L'p to the time of the big
scrap, throngs were still pouring in
and Ttx Iiickard was going around
the park trying to assure everyone he
would get his scat.
There did not seem to be a great
deal of d.fficulty with counterfeit
tickets.
