FAMOUS PACING CHAMPIONS
ENTERED IN FREE-FOR-ALL AT
THE GREAT WESTERN RACES
Hal Boy, 2:01; Ben Earl, 2:J0y2; Lillian T, 2:02,2,
And Seven Other Stars Nominated to Start in
Classic Event of Next Week's
Meeting.
BY RUSSELL PHELPS.
At Youngstown, a few weeks ago 15,000 harness
horse fans assembled to see a match race between Ben Earl,,
Edward Peterson's champion pacer, and Single G., a Grand
circuit phenom.
In Omaha a week and a half hence, Ben Earl and nine oth
er "big time" steppers will battle in free-for-all pace- but one
of fourteen events on a four-days' program universally con
ceded by horsemen to be the strongest card ever presented on
a half-mile track in the United States.
The Omaha Driving club's Great
Western circuit meeting at the Ben
son racing plant August 21 to 24, in
clusive, will be the most convincing
argument to the Nebraska metropolis'
claim as the "Lexington of the west."
Never before has such a galaxy of rac
ing stars been lined up off the Grand
circuit. The Omaha meeting will be
the headline week of the season on
the Great Western circuit, which takes
in Peoria, Burlington, Des Moines,
Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Sedalia.
Just as there are but two really big
baseball leagues, so there are but two
really big horse racing circuits. The
Great Western loop is one of them
and the Omaha Driving club will of
fer the strongest card on the circuit.
Grand Circuit Horses.
Nearly 250 stars have been nomin
ated to start in the fourteen events
on the four-days' program. More than
$12,000 in stakes and purses is to be
distributed among the winners. Every
race scheduled is a classic in its class.
There are several events alone which
would draw the pick of the eastern
horse racing fraternity on any Grand
circuit track.
Otis M. Smith, superintendent of
speed and one of the directors of the
driving club, and Edward Peterson,
president of the organization, issued
the followinR statement yesterday:
"The Omaha Driving club and the
sportsmen who comprise its member
ship have done their part to give
Omaha and the surrounding country
the greatest program ever attempted
in the west. It is now up to the pub
lic whether Great Western circuit,
metropolitan hatness racing can be
supported here The expense of pro
moting the coming meeting complete
ly overshadows any previous horse
racing effort in the history of the mid
dle west." 5
) Stars In Free-for-All.
The free-for-all pace, feature event
on the opening day's program, will
bring together the cream of the coun
try's stables. Each of the ten cham
pions entered has repeatedly thrilled
thousands on , "big time" tracks.
Horsemen and sport followers will
come to Omaha from alt parts of
the country .to see this race alone,
for probably never again will such
an aggregation of stars be seen on a
half-mile track.
One of the entries of Hal Boy,
2:01'4, the biggest money winner in
the United States in 1915 and recog
nized by experts to be one of the
three or four best pacers in the coun
try. Hal Boy is owned by Stoeten
Fletcher, millionaire Indianapolis
sportsman. This famous son of Hal
B., also the sire of Hal McKinney,
won more than $30,000 in 1915, cop
ping the $20,000 historic pacing stake
at the San Francisco exposition as
a prize achievement.
It will be the first time in Hal Boy's
sensational career that he has started
in a Great Western circuit meeting.
For the last three years his racing
has been confined solely to the Grand
Circuit and "big time.
Ben Earl, champion pacer of the
country last year and the biggest
money winner, needs no introduction
to racing fans. He is owned by Mr.
Peterson of Omaha and is as widely
known as any star in the land. Ben
. Earl's mark is 2:00. His winnings
on the Grand Circuit last year totaled
more than $17,000.
Expects Shattered Records.
A match race between Ben Earl and
Hal Boy would draw thousands on
any track in the country, and the
addtd attraction of eight other step
pers in the free-for-all should make
Omaha the mecca of fans from coast
to coast. It is a certainty existing
state pacing records will be shattered
and a possibility that half-mile marks
will be appreciably lowered.
Another entry in the free-for-all I
and a horse feared by the best pacrrsj
in the country is Lillian T, a 2;Q2Vi
stepper, who recently went a mile
over a tw ice-around track in 2:05'j.
The dinner of the Omaha free-for-all
will probably have to step faster
than 2:05.
Hat McKinnev. famous pacer re
cently sold to Homer Ross of Mil
waukee by Tom Dennison. will likely
start in the free-for-all. Hal McKim
ney is reported to be as good as ever,
a fact, which, if true, should make
the race a hard one for either the
three favorites.
Famous Trotter Entered.
The Grain Exchange purse of $1,
000 on the third day of the meeting
will bring together the cream of the
country's 2:14 trotters. Of the twenty
entries, including such stars as On
ward Allerton, May Harriman. Heir
Keaper, Sweet Aubrey and Winnie
I-ockhart, Spriggan, owned by W. J.
Lowry of San Francisco, is the out
standing favorite.
Spriggan, a 2:08 trotter, won the
$20,000 trotting stake at the San Fran
cisco exposition and earned a national
reputation ss super-star.
Omaha horses made a gratifying
liowinsr In the opening races on the
Great Western circuit at Peoria last

I winners the same horses who will

CHICAGOAN HURLS '
DEFI TO CHAMPION
.
William Mussey Tells Willie
Hoppe to Put Up or Shut
Up in Three-Cushion
Challenges.
Willing to admit that William F.
Hoppe is champion of the balklincrs,
but unwilling to concede him similar
honors at three cushions, followers of
the angle game do not take kindly to
assertions made by R. B. Benjamin,
who for the last two season has man
aged Hoppe's tours.
Benjamin frequently has claimed
that Hoppe can defeat any of the
angle experts, but has failed to re
spond to offers ot matches made by
backers of several of the leading three
cushion stars. On a recent visit to
Chicago, Benjamin hinted that alt the
three-cushion men had been driven to
cover.
Backs Kieckhefer to Win.
In response to this William P.
Mussey of Chicago offers to wager
from $500 to $1,000 a side that August
Kieckhefer, who will represent the
Mussey room in the Interstate league
next year, can defeat Hoppe in a
three nights' match of 150 points. Mr.
Mussey will post part or whole of
this money at any time and Kieck
hefer is ready to play next week or
wait until the opening of the season.
Hoppe is spending the summer in
Los Angeles and is expected to start
on his annual tour some time in Octo
ber. If the match were staged in
September it wouid give Hoppe time
to practice.
Benjamin Too Sweeping.
Kieckhefer played such great three
cushions the latter part of last season
he could get backing for several thou
sands more if necessary, and many
local fans also would be willing to
back Charley Ellis or Pierre Mau
pome against Hoppe.
Local players believe Benjamin
oversteps the mark in his desire to
boost Hoppe, and will await eagerly
his response to the challenge made by
Mr. Mussey.
Amateur Sport Flourishes
In the Mexican Capital
Mexico City, Aug. 10. That ama
teur sport is flourishing in the Mexi
can acpitat is shown by the fact that
there are 102 organized amateur base
ball nines in the city and its suburbs
and over fifty soccer foot ball teams.
The season for all varieties of sport
in .Mexico lasts twelve months a
year, as the climate permits play at
all times. Even during the rainy sea
son the mornings are almost always
clear and sunshiny and the nature of
the soil and the high dry atmosphere
makes delay on account of wet
grounds almost unknown.
No regular league series are play
ed by the base ball clubs but short
scries between three or more selected
teams are arranged from month to
month. The games usually are played
Sunday morning or on feast days and
holidays and as a general things no
admission is charged.
Many of the larger athletic clubs
and colleges and professional schools
have three or four teams each, the
first team drafting players from the
lesser teams as they are developed.
Rickard Sidesteps Bout
Competing With World War
The managers of certain pugilists
recently tried to interest Tex Rickard
in the staging of a proposed bout be
tween well known glove artists, but
the famous promoter of championship
ring contests quickly sidestepped with
a remark to the effect that he had no
intention of endeavoring to compete
with the present world-wide fight

KILBANE BLAMES
MANAGER'S HASTE
Johnny Says, However, Defeat
by Leonard Will Not
Cause Retirement
From Ring.
Johnny Kilbane, featherweight
champion, who went out of his class
to meet Benny Leonard, and was
knocked out in one of the most sen
sational ring battles in history, tle
clares'that the defeat would not cause
his retirement. Incidentally, although
he did not deny Leonard's superior
ring craft, Kilbane criticized his man
ager, Jimmy Dunn, for throwing the
towel into the ring in the closing sec
onds of the third round.
"I was certain," Kilbane said, "that
I woudl be on my feet at the end of
six rounds. I never before had been
knocked off my feet, and it was dif
ficult to realize I was down. It was
the first t'me that Dunn ever saw mc
wobble, and probably that is the rea
son he believed me through.
"But my brain was clear and I was
strong. Dunn evidently thought oth
erwise. Leonard a Great Boy.
"I have nothing to say as to a re
turn fight with Leonard. He's a great
boy, ha3 a great defense and is the
hardest man I ever tried to hit. He
has speed, is clever and possesses a
wonderful head. I still believe I have
a great many fights in my system and
after resting for a few weeks will out
line my plans in the future."
Dunn made no effort to conceal
Kilbane's poor showing. "I knew he
was ticked," Dunn said, "and couldn't
bear to see him take a beating. I saw
that he was not the Kilbane of old.
He acted like a novice instead of a
champion. I don't know what hap
pened unless he had an off night.
Why, anyone could have beaten him."
Leonard says he really won the
fight in the first round. "After I
opened the bout with a straight left,"
said the lightweight champion, "I
know I would win the battle. 1 had
Kilbane's number from the start."
Asked whether he would meet
Dundee, Charley White, Joe Welling,
Willie Jackson and other leading
lightweights in the near future, Leon
ard had nothing to say.
Ed McGoorty Comes to End
Of His Rope as a Fighter
It looks as if Ed McGoorty is done
as a fighter. At Sydney, Australia, the
other night he met Al Llovd of Mel
bourne and was defeated in twenty
rounds. McGoorty got into the ring
at catch weights, and had rolls of fat
around his waistline. He was slow,
did not warm up until it was too late
and was all but knocked out in the
fifteenth rqund. The day after the bat
tle McGoorty was taken ill and re
moved to a hospital in Sydney. On
being admitted he was told that he
had a double rupture and in a very
bad and advanced stage.
Rube Fan Didn't Like
Murphy's Bunting Play
Outfielder Eddie Murphy of the
White Sox tells this one about a
rube critic: "The Pacific-Hawaiian
barnstormers were playing at Man
don, S. D., last fall on the day that
Grover Alexander struck out twenty-one
American league batsmen.
The teams played at an adjoining
town named forsythe the next day.
A fan in Forsythe laughingly
showed the players a postcard he
had received from a friend in Man
don. It read. 'Dear Pete: Don't
pay money to see them bushers
play. I seen them pull awful things
and make it a farce over here. Why,
even seen one guy named Murphy
try to sacrifice without nobody on
base.' "
BEN SHAW TAKES
LEADJHWESTERN
Acting First Backer for the
Rourkes Leads Sluggers of
Dickerson Circuit, With
Mark of .333.
Ben Shaw, acting first sacker for
the Rourkes, now is leading the
Western league in hittnig. Ben is
now busting the pill at a .333 clip and
has drawn away
from Tex Jones
of Wichita, with
whom he was
tied for honors
a week ago.
Jones is hitting
.324.
Shaw is the
only Rourke hit
ting .300. Marty
Krug ranks sec
ond among Pa's
hirelings, with a
mark of .299.
Grover G i 1-
BbN SHAW.
morc of Sioux
City continues to lead the run-getters,
with 91, while Butcher of Denver
leads in home runs, with ten, and is
at the head of the total base column,
with 212 bases.
Ewoldt of Des Moines, with fifty,
leads the sacrifice hitters, while
Cochran of Joplin continues to show
the way to the base stealers, with
thirty-three thefts. Denver is lead
ing the league in club batting, with
.295. Musscr is the league's leading
pitcher. Merz leads the Omaha
hurlers.
Cobb Adds Point.
Tyrus Cobb has added another
point to his batting average and now
is fifteen points from the .400 mark,
according to averages published to
day, and r.hich include Wednesday's
games. Cobb is hitting 385 for 105
games. He has made 155 hits, in
cluding thirty doubles, twenty-one
triples and five home runs. This
slugging had given him the American
league lead in total bases, his total
being 242.
The Georgian also is leading the
league in runs scored, with eighty,
and is creeping up on Chapman and
Roth of Cleveland for stolen base
honors. Cobb has pilfered thirty
two bases, while the Cleveland pair
have stolen thirty-four and thirty
three, respectively. Chapman, with
fifty-five, is far in front of other sac
rifice hitters.
"Happy" Felsch made the best
show among the leading batters. He
jumped from .291 last week to .304,
and is the only hitter on the leading
White Sox team in the select .300
class.
Roush Increasing Lead.
In the National league Roush of
Cincinnati is hitting .341, and has
pulled away from HornsSy of St.'
Louis, who was pushing him for the
lead last week. Hornsby, batting a
.325 clip, clings to second place, al
though he dropped three points. The
St. Louis shortstop increased his lead
in total bases. His 109 hits in ninety
five games have been stretched into
176 bases because of nineteen dou
bles, twelve triples and eight home
runs.
Burn of New York increased his
lead as a run-getter. He has scored
seventy-two times. Carey of Pitts
burgh, with a mark of twenty-nine,
continued to top the base stealers.
The triple tie at twenty-one for
sacrifice hit honors, held by the Chi
cago trio Doyle, Deal and' Williams
remained unbroken.
