By HAIRY K. WHITTED.
Omaha's Great Westeui -circuit
meeting lor iyu is a thing ot the
past, as is likewise the Great West
ern circuit, which closed with the
uush of the fourth and final heat of
lue - 14 jnce at the Ak-Sar-Ben field
track ...! evening, just a' few
minutes aiur'.viir-iown.
Omaha people and the promoters
of the meeting have every reason to
feel prud of the records made dur
ing the four days racing, the first
mile track' meeting .held here for
oyer 20 years. . Plenty of horses,
good accommodations ' for the
crowds, fast time and closely con
tested heat made the meeting a
complete success from the time the
first heat was called until the horses
passed under the wire in the final
mm
I uteen races were decided during
e four, das. consisting of a total
. of 56 .heats,? 11 of which were on
, Tueifday, 13 on Wednesday, 15 on
1'hursdav and 17 nti FYirlav Of
lhese 56 heats, 3 were under 2:05,
29 were under 2:10, 14 were tinder
2:15, seven were under 2:20 and two
uifder 2:30. Two of the races, the
2:12 trot on Thursdayvand the 2:06
trot on Friday, took six heats to de
i ide; six of the races went to four
heats, and six were decided in
straight heats. This is not includ-.
jng the colt races which were two
in three affairs, the events for aged
Lories being raced under the old
three in five placing system, whereby
a hcrse nji'st win three heats to draw
first money. ' '
A total of nearly $15,000 was dis
tributed among the'-winners, $1,500
being the I'ainotwt ', of "the largest
purse, while $500 was the smallest,
offered in the 2-year-old events. A
total of 217 entries were received in
the 15 races, and out of this number,
79 horses were starters. The 2:12
trot onj Thursday afternoon drew
' lhe largest field with 11 starters.
, Omaha Horses Winners.
Omaha' owned horses goti their
full share of the money. Forty
three Omaha, horses were entered,
and out of this number 19 started
in races during the week, getting a
total of three firsts, thres seconds,
' three thirds and three , fourths. In
other words, 12 of the 19 starters
were in the. money.
Of the Omaha drivers who started
Marvin Childs got the lion's share
of the tnoney, starting in Six r&ees

by Sam ,Harris of Plymouth, 111. He
copped 'the 2:09. trot Tuesday after

;;'-' Fast; Track Record.
The track record now stands at
?:01Y, inade jn the third heat of the
free-for-all pace on Thursday after
noon by-..Single G7l:59, a son of
Anderson Wilkes, and driven by Ed
Allen oLIivdianapolis. This is also
a new. State -jrecbrd. The former
track record w9s 2:05'4,' made in
1896. aO the former record was held
bv Strathburv. made over the old
. Lincoln park mile trick at Lincoln
several years ago, and was ZuH-Ki.
Things laoked dubious for a meet-
t ine a week asro today. The grand
stand was" not more than half filled
with seats, and the workmen were
still nourintr concrete at the west
end. -'"But a 'biz force was kept at
work all night Sunday and all day
nd night Monday, and when the bell
rang on Tuesday afternoon for the
first heat of the meeting, every seat
was in place.' The track was in ex
cellent shape all week, although real
ly the fastest on the last day. The
horses were raced from a large tent
at the head of the stretch, instead
of from the barns, which saved much
delay in getting, the fields ready be
tween heat.' ' . k
The greatest need is a subway for
pedestrians, under the track from
the centcrffeld to. the grandstand. As
,ir was last week, all who parked
their cars- in the infield were forced
la cross the track to the Krandstand
or g6 back through the automobile
subway and' in at the west end of
the stand, which made a long walk.
Thursday thousands of people
crossed the track at the judges
stands, but this is dangerous .busi
ness with, horses warming up pr
. racing."1 It is altogether likely that

There is already ,lalk of "bidding
for Grand circuit dates in 1921 and
it is not at all unlikely that dates in
the big ring can be arranged. But
even if Omaha sticks to the, Great
Western circuit, which, by the way,
has been close on the heels of "the
Raging Grand" in point of racing
for at number of years, Omaha and
Nebraska people will have a chance
to see, first-classracing every year.

v
George Lamson, Indian Pugil
ist, and Andy Sclimader,
Navy Champion, to
Mix Here.
Omaha ring fans and Ak-Sar-Ben
visitors are preparing for a treat in
the boxing line . tomorrow night,
when George Lamson, the Indian
heavyweight, and Andy Schmader,
the Louisville .boy, mix in the city
Auditorium in a 10-round boxing
bout for the benefit of St. James or
phanage. It will be Lamson's second fight
in Omaha. Since the battling In
dian knocked out Johnny Sudenber
at Fort Omaha last spring after one
of the best scraps ever staged here
Omaha fight fans have been anx
iously awaiting his reappearance.
Schmader, who holds the heavy
weight championship of the United
States navy, has gained the confi
dence of many Omahans recently by
his ring ability.
Jack Lewis, who is promoting the
contest for the. . orphanage, an
nounced vesterdav that Tack Fitz
gerald, who refereed the Schmader-
leftry U Keilar bout at Jfort umana
two' weeks ago, would be the third
man in the ring tomorrow night.
In addition to two other prelimi
naries Lewis. has booked Eddie Hart
of Chicago and Kid Schlaifer, the
South Side welter, for an eight
round semi-windup. Hart will have
an advantaee in weight over the
Omahan, but local opinion is that
Sthlaifer will more than offset that
handicap witn nis punenmg power.
The semi-windup should prove as in
teresting as the main event.

Old Man Is Golf Star.
New York, Sept. 18. Hugh Hal-
sell ot. Dallas, Tex., is senior golf
champion of the nation. He added
a round of 82 made today to his low
record total of 80 on Thursday at
Apawamis for a winning gross , of
162, by several' strokes, the bst
ever turned in this championship.
Halsell's score of 162 perhaps is the
best ever scored in competition in
the world by a man who has passed
his 57th birthday.
He keeps popping in and 'out of
the office like a prairie dog watch
ing a hawk. About five minutes to
5 he washes his hands to make the
boss think they have ink on 'em,
and gallops out of the office like he
was going somewhere. He keeps
tab on the bulletin board until all
the returns are in, and then buys a
paper that has a freshly cooked box
score in it.

' He uses the same subway and
again beats the same two old ladies ,

He reads the base ball news in
the subway, during supper and be
fore bedtime. All work and no play
makes Jack a dumbbell. Which is
why the flase ball bug is the bright
est bird in the works. - .
He knows more about base ball
than his wife does about retrimming
her last year's bonnet. At thcyiov
ies he hoots the pictures of Lioyd
George, Santa Claus and Ponzi, but
cheers himself curly over a close-up
of Babe Ruth.
He goes home again, adds up the
runs for the week, and wonders
why fie.always draws Washington in
the base ball pool. '
After skimming the top off the
crock of home brew, and snitching
some sardines out of the ice box, he
falls off to sleep and dreams he is
the handle on the water bucket dur

4 Teach Lesson To
Yank Athletes
- '
United StjJCfcs Track and Field
Stars Learned Severe Leg- ,
son In Spite of
' .i Victory. ' -
By WALTER ECKERSALL.
With the track and field games ot
the seventh Olympic games now
matter of athletic history, the Unitca
States learned a severe lesson, de
spite its victory by an overwhelming ,
margin. ,
Veteran trainers and coaches of
American college and athletic club
teams were unanimous that the team
which sailed for Belgium was the
best balanced aggregation which
ever represented this country in the
world's gatnes. A victory 'by an
even greater margin was expected
by those in close touch with the ath
letes. Team Sent Too Late.
The big mistake made by the 5
American Olympic conunittee, ac
cording to men who have devoted
their lives to training athletes, va ,
in riot sending the team to Belgium
in time to become thoroughly ac
climated. After, the national trials
were held in Boston the selected ath
letes were' sent to Fort Slocum, "K. ,
Y., where little or no training was
done. 'They remainid in the eat
one week before sailing. Two weeks .
were spent on the ocean and less
than 10 days given the athletes to
get back in shapi for the start of the
ganw-s.
Allowances ar made for the dif-
ficulties experienced by the 'coinmit
tee 011 securing a, government trans
port. The ship as turned over to
the committee one week later than
scheduled, and then, according t
the athletes, was anything but a fit
vessel 011 which to keep in shape.
Our athletes, some of whom are .
temperamental,' vcre disgusted with
the conditions and did not even at
tempt to keep in shape. 4Some con
tracted sickness on the voyage, and
yvere of no assistance in the games.
Three Athktes Disabled.
When the athletes did land on the
other side the time- was too short
to- become acclimated. The low,
damp climate was not to the likinjr
of American performers. This lack
of training resulted in the pulling of
tendons by "Sol Butler, Joie Ray and
Walker Smith, not to mention tied
up muscles of other athletes.
According to reports, the athletes
severely criticised the work of the-.
committee, and right now there is a
strong movement on foot for, a
house-cleaning of the A. A. U., so
that athletes who take part in the
next Olympic games will receive
treatment to warrant excellent per-"
formances. '
Doubt Future of Games.
Butler, Ray and Smith are ath
letes of experience. None of them
had ever been troubled with pulled
tendons before. If allowedMhe prop-
ef time to trained loosen up, they
would have contributed more points
to the Yankee total Their attempts ;
to register points under tlve unfav
orable training condiions resulted in
the accidents. . s '
It is 3. certainty the athletes wilf
not mince their, criticism of the com
mittee's work on their return. Their
opinions will furnish plenty of food
for thoughtAfor those who may be
chosen 011 the committee ta handle
American affairs in the next Olym
pic, if there is one. At the present
time a number of nations, including
England and Sweden, have . ex
pressed doubts as to being repre
sented in the next world's games.
Weak in Distance Runs.
This year's games also showed
America's inferiority in distance
running more than any other Olym
pic. With the exception of the 400
meter hurdles, Yankee athletes were
absolutely unable to make a bid foiv
honors in any other race over 200
meters. Of course, some critics will
blame this poor showing on the
-short time allowed our men to get in
shape after they arrived in Belgium,
but the fact remains that our dis-
tance men were raced off their feet
by runners of other nations. : :
Earl Eby of the Chicago Athletic
association1 made a splendid effoTt
to. win the 800-neter event, but plain- i
ly showed the lack of training by
faltering in the closing stages of ihe
contest. Eby was carried along by
a terrific pace, hut lacked the stam
ina to defeat Hill, tW great English
racer.
' Yanks Crack Two Records.
Despite the poor handling of our
team, the men performed as well as
could be expected. Two' world's
records fell to the lot of American
athletes, both of whom are members
qf the Chicago Athletic association
te?m. Frank Loomis won the 400-
meter three-foot hurdles in :54, while
Frank Foss broke all existing rec
ords in the pole vault by clearing
the bar at the dizzy lwight of 13 feet
Sj-ii inches. v
Some members of the victorious
American team will take part in the
meets to be held in Paris and Lon
don, while others will visit places of
interest in battle-scarred Europe. ,
More than 75,000 workers who
back to work on the promise ot
President 'Huerta to firing their;
grievances 1 to a speedy settlement.
