' THE EMfTV SEAT KmO.L pEAfX ( Jll ATthE fOEAV "NT THCY jg M X '7 i! 1. I - By HARRY K. WHITTED. It took six hard heats to decide the winner in the 2:12 Neb-ras-ka trot, for a purse of $1,500, the first race on the program at the Great western meeting here yesterday. ' fc-leven horses came out for the word in the. first heat and it was a great field of trotters. Miss Pin kerton, a bay mare, by Mr. Pinker ton, driven by "Billy" Taylor of Se dalia, Mo., drew the pole, but Alice 1. Woodford was out in front at the half, with nine of .the 11 starters bunched within a space of four lengths. - i They went to the quarter" in 3VA seconds and steamed around to the half in 1:03. Alicola, a bay f daughter of Bingen, driven by Fred Egan, sailed up in the last quarter. winning the mile, according to he first decision of the judges, al though they afterwards changed their ruling, giving the heat to Miss Pinfcerton, the decision being pro tested by Egan. In the second heat, Peter Dallas, a bay gelding, by Peter Kane, went to the front and looked to be a con tender until near the middle of the stretch. Miss Pinkerton was up in the front rank until the field reached the seven-tights pole, when she went ' to a bad break, Grace -Corning, a bay mare by Sorrento Todd, and driven by Roy Owens of Omaha, winning the heat ni a close finish. Mare Cuts Tendon. The affair was again, split up in the third heat. The field got ;yvay fast, going to the quarter in 32 sec onds and the half in 1:05. Business picked up after the half-way pola was passed and they steamed home in 2:08J$, with Dorothy Day, a chestnut mare by Peter the Great, leading when they passed the wire. i Grace Corning, winner of the second heat, cut her right front tendon just after she passed the wire and was drawn. This probably ends her rac ing career, as wery few ever recover y from this kind of an accident. All hforses not standing for money were sent to the barn after the third heat and Alicola, Miss Pinkerton, Dorothy Day and Peter Dallas were left. Dorothy) stepped out in front from the word and was never head ed, trotting the mile in 2:10J4. This gave her two heats. Only heat winners came back for thefth heat, under the rules, which sent Peter Dallas to the barn. Miss Pinkerton stepped out in front from the start, winning the heat by a close finish, Alicola coming in sec ond and the other mare third. vThe time was 2:10J4. It was Miss Pinkerton all the way in the sixth and final heat arid she took the heat in' an easy finish in , -2:14. , Money Held Up. Just why the judges awarded the v first heat as they did I am us yet un able to decide. Many others were also left in the dark. Mis-s Pinker ton won 'the hqftt by almost a length and the presiding judge and asso- l ciate judge also both admitted later that they caught them that way. Starter Stone called the numbers as they passed undej' the wire, but N his job is, strictly unofficial after he has given the word, -and it probably always will remain a my'tery just why the judges first decided to take his word rather than to render their own decision. As the race now ! stands, "the money will, of course, v be held up and the case taken be fore the Board of Review of the American Trottingassociation next winter. Seven starters came out for the v first heat of the 2:08 pace, and it wasgreat race in every heat; Hal liHayt, a sorrel mare by Charle" Hayt, driven by Fred Egan, stepped out in front by the time the first "eighth was reached, ' which she passed in 31 1-2 seconds. Hazel Kuestner, a bay mare by tyalnut Hall, driven by Ed Allen, pulled up to the leaders by the time the half was reached, and the race from then on was between her and Sil ver Maid, a sweet-going chestnut mare by . Peter Silver. Many again failed to agree with the decision of the judges in thi heat, seeing Hazel first under the wire, but the decision went to the chestnut mae. , Hazel Fights Hard. Silver Maid stepped out o the front in the second heat. Hazel Kuestner again put up a hard fight for first place down th stretch, 'but the chestnut mare Staved off het , rush, winning' by a throatlatch in - '' 2:0(--4. Egan took Hallie Hayt to the front from the word in the third hea,t with Gray Hal a strptig contender, " vbutjhe Omaha owned horse lacked just a little of the necessary brush to cop at the wire, the mare winning 4he heat and making a fourth heat necessary. , ' ' Johnston took no chancres, with Silver Maid in the fourth heat, taking her to the front from the start, and winning -the heat and race in a gruelling finish with Hazel Kuestner. The free-forU pace, the big event . on the progran. brought out Single G. 1 :S9 1-2, Hal Mahone 2:014-2 and Johnnie Quirk 2:03 1-4. They got y p. way on the third score, with Hal Mahone at the pole. Childs took his gelding to the fronand was lead ing at the, quartet with Johnnie 1 Quirk in second place on the outside and Single G. trailing next the pole. They remained in this position until after thev passed the half, when Allen pulled the lion hearted son of A.nderson Wilkes out, and started ; his drive. - Faster and faster they came i through the stretch, with Single G. on the outside, going the long route, but slowly but surely cutting down the lead of Hal Mahone. The crowd was on its feet, cheering like mad ' as they flew through the stretch, Single G. ripping the heat by-half a length. Johnnie Quirk was placed third and Hal Mahone second by the judges, although here, again, many differed, in that Hal should have had third place. The last half was in 59 3-4 seconds. Hal Mahone Wins. 1 am in still more of a quandry about the second heat, than I am over the first heat of the 2:12 trot, mentioned above, Childs took Hal jffix cTjf) jm jr'j lW V VX out in front again from the word with the other' two in the sam position. Allen pulled out for his drive . at" the three quarters pole, coming through the stretch and win ning the heat by a good half length. I say winning, although he failed to get said heat, the Judges announcing that Hal Mahone was first.Single G. second and Johnnie Quirk third.. J. he judges refused to give jmy valid reason lor so placingrfrthe horses, and I say here, as many others said, that they were wrong. There is some excuse for mistakes in a big field, when the horses pass under the wire close together, but absolutely none in the world for a field of three horses, al of which were racing close to the pole and with as much difference between them as there was At the finish- of the heat. It was very plain to be seen tha't the decision did not please the crowd As in the other two heats, Childs took his mount out in front in the third heat, with Johnnie Quirk on the outside, making Single G. go a long mile. They steamed over to the quarter in 31 j seconds, to the half in 1:01 J4, to the three-quarters pole in 1:3VA and home fit-2::014, with Single Gwell in the lead. It was a great race, and the last mils not only sets a track record at which they can shoot for some time to come, but is the second fastest heat paced this year.. The fastest heat was won by Single G. during the Grand Circuit meeting at Columbus and was in 2:01. "Omaha" Pace. Four nice looking babies came out for the 2-year-old "Omaha" pace. Harvest Worthy, a hay stallion colt by The Harvester, dam by Ax worthy, owned by O. M. Smith of Omaha, won first in two straight heats. -Anna K., a bay filly by Etawah, also owned by Mr. Smith, - ------ j " took second, with Worthy Silk and uoia isjng splitting tnira ana lourtn money.- The fastest time was 2:27,, made in the first heat. -Four runners were at""hte barrier for the Ak-Sar-Bne derby of a mile and one-eighth, for a purse of $500. Chesto, a bay gelding by Suffrage, won, with Ko Ko. Hi, a winner Wednesday, in" second place. Mahler's Symphony to Be Played Here This Season London, Sept. 16. Frederick A.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wir Salt Lake City. Utah, Sept. 16.- Gov. James M. Cox wound up t day's stumping trip across Utah witl a night meeting at the Mormon Tab ernacle at which he hailed the pro. posed world court plan put for ward yesterday as an added reasoi for America to join the league o nations. He declared that the world court proposal could not in any way b( regarded as a substitute for th league of nations. 1 He told the an dience that it might "confidently loot iorward to another frantic ffor from Marion to confuse the public jii the league issue. ,v Giving his hearty approval to tin world war scheme, formulated if part by Elihu Root, Governor Cot' characterized it as a sort of leaguf of nations "supreme court." It would amount to nothing, however) he said, "without the force, moral and otherwise, the composite powef of the nations of the world, if it il necessary to apply it to the decw sions of the tribunal." . "In an effort finally to offet some substitute to the people of this country who ardently desire vth blessings of. peace, the candidate of da the opposition on August 28, ma the suggestion, that a world court of justice be established for the pur pose of settling disputes" said Gov errior Cox."Later there were hints from Marion that such a court was being . organized by Elihu Root, which was to be a substitute for thf league of nations. "Today we learn that the comrnis sion, of which Mr. Root is a mem ber, has made jts report, establish ing a world court for the adjudica. tiou of questions according to rule of law. We find, however, that thiol court is a part of the league cove nant.' that Mr. Root and his coU leagues were appointed by the coun- cil of the league, and- that their re- port is now to be submitted to th various members of the league. "It is apparent, therefore, that this court of international justice which Mr. Harding- would substitute for the league of nations now appears as An essential part of the league, tnd one withont the league would have no standing whatever. . "This limb having been cut off, Mr. Harding sitting on the end, w may confidently look forward to an other frantic effort from Marion to confuse the public and to keep both Senator Johnson, who is against any" kind of a league, and Elihu Root, who is not only for the league, but has performed valiant services for the existing league, for the party candidate. x he " democratic nominee began speaking at 8 o'clock this, morning before a crowd at Pocatello, Idaho. Much of his day, however, was spent addressing crowds which came t ereet him at Losan. Brieham an Ogden. The governor's speeches were, somewhat lacking pn the ae customed fireworks today.
