Black Go'd a good looking little bt fellow with a heart full of run and legs with wings of the wind, came to fame on the back- wash of a turn in luck that con- verted his owner, Mrs. R. M. Hoots, a cherokee Indian woman, from a poor widow, into a millionaires. When her’ husband Cied he left her a scrawny Uttle co't turned to- day into the hero of the turf and not so long ago the papers turned her into a millionairess when oll was found on the “no good land.” Behind Black Gold is a record that the cld hardened railbirds of the big time tracks would read in fiction and call the author a poor mut. Several years ago Hoots who had a love for horses that was be- yond his pocketbook campatgnec through Mexico with a poor old wornout mare named Useett. name caused the smart ones to and that let it out.” One day Hoots red her In a cheap selling race and she was bid in for $600. Hoots refused to give her up for the claiming price and when she was ruled off the turf he took her back to his little place in Oklahoma where razed on the weeds nur- tured n unknown fortune in oll oll shi Hight years ago when the mare began to ent herself out of a we! come around the place she wan bred to Ivan the Terrible. The nine year old dam produced a selling plater named Tulsa, which fs still running on the “Merry Go Rounds” and which never brought credit to the dam, sire or owner. The next year she produced a filly named Tuscola by Jack Atkin, which turned in a track record at New Or‘eans and then went bad, When the oil boom had taken in the little Hoots placa and when for- tunes began to gush out of the ground at thelr feet, the owners of old Useeit, thought they would give her nee at the royalty that hard times had kept her away from. Mrs. Hoots sent the family fa vorite to Kentucky an¢ had her bred to Black Tongy and Black Gold way the result. Black Go!d was turned over for development tg a Cherokee Indian named Webb, who was one of the picturesque products. of the half mile tracks in the middle west and who had Ideas about training that the high brow trainers of the big time regarded as distinctly of “bush league” character. Big trainers belleve that a two. year-old should never be started un- til mit-season, but Webb put some of his ori ideas into uae and ent Black Gold to New Orleans to be started=during the first week of January. The colt won, and they said he would be ruined by a crazy trainer, but the youngster went right on running and right on win ning. At the end of his two career he had won $29,000 set a track record at His first real bid for year ol and had ferson Park. ame came last March when he won the $10,000 Loulsiana derby at New Orleans. In training Black Gold the In- dian violated every rule followed by eastern trainers, and when the colt did not break down they accepted him as a freak. Webb worked him to death and when he developed a 'ttle foot, the trainer ran it-out of him. When all other trainers were wrapping up their charges, Webb would leave his black youngster out in the cold and rain without cover. They, al! said that Webb neglected the animal and that something should be done about it. Webb never exp'ained or ad- vanced any of his theories. He went about his business. The sharps did know that he slept in the barn with the colt. When Black Gold was shipped to Louisville he was loaded in a cheap box car and Webb was accused of being tight in not getting a fast express to maké the journey short for the thorobred. Webb did make a reply this time. “It's my own business," he said, slow trip that will get my colt ac- customed by degrees to the change in climate conditions.” Mrs. Hoots is not a racing ‘en- thusiast like Mrs. Payne Whitney and ether women who own and op- erate stables. She inherited Black Gold and she fs racing him in mem- ory of the husband who never lost faith in the old mare. She did not have a bet down, but when her trainer told her that it was a ¢inch she passed the tip on to. the home county and the whole district went down on the pride of the community. Today was the first time that a colt wholly owned by a woman has won the great classic. a eer 220 HURDLES IN 23 FLAT ‘BY BROOKINS AMES, Iowa, May 17.—{United Press.)}—Brookins, star 220 hurdler of Iowa university, lowered his present record at the annual uni- versity and college track meet here today despite -a drizzling rain and poor conditions.

Umpiresy-Dineen and Connolly Time—2:10, By HENRY L. FARRELS (United Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, May 17.—(Unil Press-}—Selection of a referee with a name and a reputation big enough to assure a strict observance of the rules and a fair break for both fighters will be one of the hardest jumps to take in the completion of arrangements for the Dempsey- Wills heavyweight championship fight. : It will be recalled that the heavy- Weight champion, quoting: past precedent, assumes that it is his privilege to have 90 per cent of the say about the referee and it will be rememebered also that the cham- pion is very particular’ about the man shoved in the ring to order the breaking and to pass judgment upon the blow: Dempsey has no fear of an ad- verse decision in the proposed fight. because Tex Rickard has decided upon Jersey City as the scene of the battle and decisions are not pernfitted in the state “of New Jersey. When Dempsey was signed to meet Tom Gibbons in Shelby last summer, he demanded the right to name jis own rules and appoint his own referee. He had to go to a decision in Montana and he wanted to take no chances on. a cowboy referee. He also was to fight thé cleverest heavyweight in the game and he wanted no rules that would be of assistance to a clever fighter. He won every point he held out for, simply because Gibbons was most eager to get him into the ring at a sacrifice of all rights or privileges. Already, althought it has not come directly from Dempsey, the warning has been sounded that the Standings | American League. Team W. L. Pet.

Brooklyn at 8t, Loul: Philadelphia at Pittsburgh. American: Chicago at Boston, Detroit at Philadelphia, St. Louls at New York Cleveland at Washington, 2 en ee eee New Jersey boxing officials must exercise the utmost zealand caution in appointing a referee who‘ will not allow Wills to- hold and hit. Wills has the name of depending almost entirely upon a body punch that is scored by getting his long left arm around an, opponent’s neck and pulling his rival's body into a hard right to the body or an upper- cut to-the jaw’ Wills has been harassed greatly because of the: be- ef that he has-to foul to de his most effective fighting. ’ Perhaps Dempsey will say noth- Ing. He will not be consictent if he does, because ~he should know that Wills and his manager can say to the New Jersey commission: “You get someone in the ring who will not allow Dempsey to hook a couple of rights to the jaw after the gong sounds and who will not let him hit while his man is down, as he did ‘against. Firpo. ‘Wills can also ask the referee to brush up Dempsey’s mind on the exact location of the Ines on the anatomy below which it ts foul to strike. Tom Gibbons went out of the ring at Shelby with a blue mark as big as a tin cup very low on his groin. It was the lowest and the most painful blow of a number that Dempsey landed below the belt. When Dempsey went into the ting with Gibbons, the referee (one of the champion’s most intimate friends), said: “You men have agreed to fight straight rules. You must take care of yourself at ‘all times. Foi: must break only when you cannot continue fighting. The holding and Hitting trick blamed on Wills was a creampuff stunt compared to the ones that Dempsey . pulled on Gibbons. He held and hit, pushed, shoved, wrestled and threw Gibbons around so that he could hit him with straight rights and lefts over the kidneys and on the neck. In one way it is to be regretted that the law in New Jersey will force Dempsey and Wills to follow a certain code of rules, more modern and _less savage, than the old straight rules demanded at Shelby. If the same conditions prevailed as existed at Shelby, we wonder if Dempsey would demand that they fight straight rules and) we wonder if the referee would give the same instructions that he dig at Shelby, when it was said in so ‘many words that: ‘Saverything goes.” It's a hundred to one bet that Dempsey would never fight Wills under such rules. He knew that Gibbons was not strong, enough to out-do him in « back-room fight and he knew that Gibbons wouldn't foul him if he got a chance and even if the referee told him to do it. If he is possessed of a good memory and he can recall somo incidents, that happened when the Dempsey-Carpentier fight was in the making, three years ago, Jack Kearns, the -champion’s manager, will hesitate before he advances any of the “champion’s rights” before the New Jersey officials. Recalling those incidents, an observer at the Ume, would predict that if he does attempt to do any suggesting around the Jersey officials, he will get the alr promptly and plentifully. When the question of a referee came up before the Dempsey-Car- pentier fight, Kearns said that he would have the first (and last) say about.the referee, becayse it had been the traditional right of the champion to dictate terms and. con- ditions for the defense of his title. Boxing was administered in New Jersey at that! time by a commis- sion and when the commissioners heard that Kearns had threatened to throw up the fight if they tried to tell/htm who would referee, they sald: “We'll name the referee and all the officials and Kearns will accept them. And Mr. Kearns will have. Mr. Dempsey in the ring at the appointed time, regardless of how he feels about it.” The commissioners also sala gom things unofficially that burnt up the champion's manager, but when the “me for the fight came, Dempsey was in the ring and Harry Ertle, the commissioner's referee, was there In a corner to get them going. It has always heen éonsidered very unusual that Kearns and ey were so unconcerned when ne came for the appointment eree to handle the Dempsey- fight. They sald they didn't who would referee and they care. Of course, they knew than to suggest to the Duke know didn’t better of Muldoon that he should counsel with them before the commission named the ‘referee, But, as it turned out, Dempsey couldn't have done any better if he liad beep call- ing the breaks himself. While it ts too far in advance now to make any predictions, it would be no surprise ii Harry. turtie is appointed to referee and there need be little fear that elther one of the fighters will get away with any- thing not allowed in the book, ——___ ,A Mew York woman of 46 years, uready the mother of ten children.
