THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE JANUARY 16, 1910. RACING DATES ARE FIXED All Time Seems to Be Well Allotted Among Different Associations, RACES FROM SPRING TO FALL 'W tehester H Five Satarday Liberal Proportion for One Track to Mave. Decoration Day | NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—One of the very serlous problems before the Jockey club is the alloting of racing time to the va- rious associations during the season of 1914 ‘With Brighton Beach back in the field the matter is complicated to some extent and though the other assoclations have not, with the exception of the Saratoga asso- clation, made thelr wants public, it fs known that they bave been considering rac- ing time, and when the applications are recelved it will take some close figuring to satisty all the demands By a careful figuring of the time and value of meetings a schedule has been framed as a possible arrangement that would prove satisfactory. The dates show no contlict of time, the big days are well distributed and the meetings are from eighteen to thirty days in length. County Jockey club, April 15 to ten days. mpire City Hacing to May 7; ten days. Metropolitan Jockey club, May 9 to May 18; nine days. Westchester Racing association, May 10 to_June 7; seventeen day Brooklyn Jockey club, June § to June 27; seventeen dayi Coney Island Jocke: July 16; seventeen da Empire City Racing assoclation, July 18 to_July 21; nine days. Brighton Beach Hacing assoclation, July 25 to August 6; nine days. Saratoga Racing assoclation, to August 27; elgnteen days. Coney Island Jockey club, August Beptember &, ten days. Brooklyn Jockey viub, September Beptember 20; ten day: Brighton Beach Rac sociation, Sep- tember 21 to September ¥; nine day Metropolitan Jockey club, October 15 lo October §l; fourteen days. Westchester Racing assoclation, October 1 to October 14; thirteen days. Queens County Jockey club, November 1 to November 15; thirteen days. An analysis of this proposed schedule will show that the Queens County Jockey club is awarded twenty-three days, with four Saturdays. Empire City nineteen, with three Saturdays. The Metropolitan Jockey club Is taken care of with twenty-three days and four Saturdays, The Westchester Raetng assoclation Is provided with thirty days, with Decoration day and five Satus days. This may seem a very liberal allot- ment for this club, but the dates come early and late in the season and not during the most favorable racing season. The Brooklyn Jockey club s provided with twenty-seven days and there are five Sat- urdays in the allotment. The Coney Island Jockey club has twenty-seven days and they include the Fourth of July, four Satur- days and Labor day. The Saratoga Racing ussoclation some time ago made announce- ment that the entire ‘month of August would be requested, but that would be im- possible without a conflict and the arrange- ment of this racing time gives it elghteen days, with three Saturdays. It is a known fact that Saturday and the holldays are of great value to racing assoclations, and this distribution of the time Is made with the idea of treating each assoclation fairly. It is inevitable that such dates would not please all of the associn- tions, but with so many in the field to be provided for the date problems s a serious one for the Jockey club, and this arrange- ment Is one that appears to be fair. BILLIARDISTS ARE VERY ACTIVE Committees to Be Appointed to Ar- range Champlonships. sociation, April 21 elub, June 28 to August 8 2 to 9 to NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—A committee will be appointed shortly by the National As- soclation of Amateur Billlard Players to make arrangements for the class A na- + tional champlonship tournament and for a proposed inter-club champlonship to be held in this city. At a meeting of ‘the National assoclation held at the Liederkranz club the other night It developed that no bids had been received for the holding of the class A national champlonship. It is the first time’ in the history of the organiza- tion that such a thing has occurréd. The trophy for the event is now held by Charles P. Wright of San Franclseo, but it is cer- tain that it will be played for this season. The organization favors this city for the usual 14.2 balk line tournament it arrange- ments can be made. It Is sald that a Chi- cago club may hold the event. Persistent Advertising is the Road to Big Returns. LUNGHI CHANGES MIND OFTEN and May Eater an Army. NEW YORK, Jan, 15—That Emilio Lunghl, the great middle distance runner, is & man of contradictions is evident from the fact that Lunghi has written an Itallan friend in this city that he has no intention of joining the Itallan army, but will con- tinue “his studles” In Genoa. Lunghl has an idea that he can smash the existing world's record for 400 metres and will train from now till next March in preparation for the attempt. After that Lunghi wili run handicaps to keep himself in trim until the International games to be held in Turln, Italy, early in 1911, Lunghi Inclosed clippings from the Genoa papers containing interviews with himself in which he prases American sportsmen in the highest terms and says that he re- gards Lawson Robertson, the Irish-Ameri- can Athletic club coach, as the greatest trainer of athletes in the world today.

Ann Streots, New York, — Young Taral is Just Like Father is !fiin Be a Chip of the Old Block in the Saddle. Youth NEW YORK, Jan. ‘A chip of the old block.” That in every way describes Johnny Taral, one of the newest crop of Jockeys now riding at the Moncrief park track at Jacksonville. When the boy's name is posted on the jockeywboard old- timers must recall the days when his tather, Fred Taral, was winning stake after stake and running Into the reputation of being one of the best riders this country ever produced. When Fred retired after more than a score of years in the saddle, it was thought that the name Taral would be lost to the turf for all time. There was but one who could bid to uphold the name, and that was Johnny. True, the boy had already done some riding, but his father was wont to have him quit it He tried to set the boy studying law, and Johnny was the obedlent boy for a while He got along fairly well for a while, but then the truth of that old saying, ““what's bred In the bone will come out in the flesh,” asserted’ itself, and back to the ponies went Master Johnny. He hit the trall for Jacksonville, and there he is now trying to start in record that will compare favorably with that of his daddy's. 8o far Johnny has not shown to any great advantage, but that Is due to the fact that he has not had the opportunity. The few mounts he has had were completely outclassed. Young Taral has a good seat and a nice pair of hands, and racegoers predict that ere long he will be well started on the road to fame, ' But the boy is not a novice by any means. Ho rode a year in Austria at the same time his father was there working as a jockey, and he had a big share of good luck. The event that s today marked as his greatest effort was run at Budapest for a stake called the Szecheni prize. Johnny and Papa Fred had mounts in the race, which was of the best contested at the meeting. Countess Czechenl, who was formerly Miss Gladys Vanderbllt, was at the track that day, and when she saw Johnny beat his tather's horse by a short head for the prize, she was as vociferous as others at the course. Fred got the laugh from all hands, but it was a proud moment for the veteran rider. Other races Johnny won, and he got a goodly share of winning mounts. His early experfences earned him such a tidy sum that Independence blossomed in him, and without father's consent he ran off and got married last June. Later he got the parental blessing, and now father Fred Is 8oIng to do all he can to make his chosen career a sucoess. “Man wants but little here below."—The ROW ON NUMBER OF GAMES Ebbets Insists Schedule Be Increased in the National League. THREE CLUBS WANT THE SAME Boston, St, Louis and Cincinnati De- and that Number Be Left as Last Year—KEbbets Likes Double-Headers. ) EW YORK, Jan, 15.—There is sure to be a row over the playing schedule for the National league when the committee meets next month. Charles H. Ebbets has finished the schedule calling for 168 games, but when he submits it Barney Dreyfuss demand a schedule of 1564 games. In this he will be backed by the Cincinnatl, St. Louls and Boston clubs. The 168-game schedule is Ebbet's pet scheme. He sees in it a chance to add to the Brooklyn club's receipts. The who made the word “Infancy” famous practically admits that the Brooklyn fans want bargain attractions in base ball, or the patronage will fall off. He plans to play double-headers on Saturdays and Mondays or Fridays, when the attendances are usually weak. But the other club owners, at lesat four of them, do not agree with the Brooklyn man. East and West Sign Contracts Michigan and Syracuse Have Ar- ranged to Play Foot Ball for Two Years. NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—A two-year con- tract for foot ball games has been signed by the Michigan and Syracuse university gridiron magnates. This makes the third branch of sport between the two institu- tions on a two-year contract basis. Michi- gan will play the Orange in foot ball at Syracuse on October 29, 1910, and the 1911 contest will be held in Ann Arbor. The other contracts call for base ball games and two dual track meets, the events o alternate between Syracuse Ann Arbor. When one remembers that Michigan's contract with Pennsylvania has not yet expired and that the Maize and Blue ath- letes are to be found In eastern track meets and pitted dgainst eastern basket ball teams, it appears as if the Wolverines' eastern invasion would almost carry them out of middle western sports and so effec- tually tie them up with contracts that a re- turn to conference ranks would be impos- sible, it desired. The games under contract will make the most Interesting spots on the Orange foot best way to let It be known is through The Bee Want Ad columns. Hbrsemen Pleased ‘With the Outlook Many Entries for the Big Events Make the Race Promtoers Smile, NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Of the many en- couragements recelved by racing folk since the close of last season, there has been none that has given such great satistaction as the announcement of the entries at hand for the varlous stakes of the Coney Island and Brooklyn Jockey clubs and the Brighton Beach Racing assoclation to be declded next summer. Last year horse- men were pleased to have nineteen ent tries to the Brooklyn, twenty-two to the Suburban, with no Brightan,handicap at all. For the season to come, thirty-seven | thoroughbreds are named for the Brook- lyn, thirty-three for the Suburban and twenty-four for the Brighton. At the same time the class of the probable con- tenders is on a vastly higher plane. Fitz Herbert, Maskette, King James, Af- fliction, Sweep, Waldo and Olambala, great names all, together with Ballot and Pris- clllian, brought home from England, are among those named liberally. For the Sheepshead Bay meeting 300 nominations are made for the eighteen stakes. For the 2-year-old stake, the Grand Trial, there are seventy-five names, as against thirty-seven in 1909 for the Double Event, sixty-elght as agatnst Yorty-four, and so on. The get of 430 brood mares are eligible for the 1912 Futurity. These figures will all be increased when the western and south. ern racing points are heard from. The leading stables named are those of James R. Keene, August Belmont, H. P. Whitney, R. T. Wilson, jr.; the Newcastle, Silver Brook and Quincy stables, John A. Drake and, James B. Haggin returned to the game, and James Butler, a new owner. TICKET SCALPERS WATCHED Plans to Guard Sale for Big Harvard- Yale Games, BOSTON, Jan. 15.—Suggestions looking toward a solution of the problem of the distribution of tickets for Important foot ball games at Harvard, especlally for the blennial contest with Yale, are made In report of a special committee of the Harvard club of this city, which Investi- gated the methods employed at the recent game, The committee's conclusions are that there should be a reduction in the number of specially awarded seats; that tickets for members of the Harvard Athletic asso- cistion should be abolished; that freshmen and sophomores should be limited to one ticket each, and that university officers should be classed with graduates. There were 30,000 seats in the stadium for the game of November 20, 196, of which Yale took 16,000. There was an unusual de- mand for seats, running about 50,000, and many complaints reached the management affer the game from those who claimed {to have been unable to obtain seats, but who were apparently entitled to them. ICE RACING FAD IN CANADA Trott and l’.:_ Events Planned for Next Mont MONTREAL, Jan. 15.-Men who are inter- ested In ice trotting ana pacing meetings are planning to make the annual meeting on the Ottawa river, under the auspices of the Central Canadian Ice Racing asso- clation, the largest of its kind this year. In fact, the annual meeting is to be a car- nival of races—the largest of its kind ever attempted in the sport. The carnival will open on January 2 and will conclude on February 6. The amount of money to be distributed to purse winners will be the largest ever awarded by the association. There Is considerable interest in ice racing and pacing in this part of the coun- try, and many entries are assured. Invi- tations will be sent to the States' horse- men as well, in order to make interest more ball schedule and will afford with the Pennsylvania-Michigan and possibly Chi- cago-Cornell contests a good basis for Inter- sectional comparisons. Moreover, Syracuse’s rowing authorities have also closed a contract. The crew ac- cepted the invitation of the United State naval academy to row an eight-oared race on the Severn on May 21. The course will be two miles in length and the race prob- ably will be rowed down stream, This will be the third time that Syracuse has rowed Annapolis, the other two races having resulted in victories for the Orange. Last years race marred by rough weather, but the Orange oarsmen managed to finish about two lengths ahead of the Midaies. TIGERS TO MAKE SOUTHERN TRIP Princeton Puts Aside Old Rivals for Training Trip. PRINCETON, N. J., Jan. 15.—According to the schedule announced by Manager Donovan of the Princeton university base ball team the Tigers will shelve some old rivals and take a southern trip for the first time this spring. The team reaches the sunshine country on March 24, playing against the Richmond State leaguers in the historic city and meeting Richmond college the following afternoon. On March 2 and 2 games are scheduled with Georgetown university at Washington. The four games complete the warming up and tryout season and the attempt Lo beat the calendar. By way of contrast Princeton plays a team from the far north, Bowdoin, on March 30, at Princeton. Besides the innovation of a southern trip several comparatively new Princeton games appear on the list to take the places of the Navy, Dartmouth, Syracuse, Lehigh and Virginia university. They are Williams, Trinity, Dickinson and the New York Americans. The schedule reads: March 24—Richmond State Richmond. March Richmond college at Richmond, March 2—Georgetown university at Washington. March 28—Georgetown university at Wash- Ington. March 30—Bowdoin at Princeton. April 2—Dickinson at Princeton.

SWIMMING RULES IN THE AIR Committee is Not fied with Gaid- stk Cf NEW YORK, Jan. 16—The tancy diving code which has just been submitted by George Gaidzik of the Chicago Athletic assoclation to the swimming committee of the Amateur Athletic union does not meet with the approval of the governing body. Galdzik has taken almost in thelr entirety the rules which governed the diving at the Olymple games of 198, in England, and In some ways they don't seem to be just what is wanted under the widely differ- ing conditions in this country. Otto Wadle, for one, belleves them totally unfit for use among us and has decided opinions on the kind that is needed. He has already In- yited several of our leading experts In aquatic tumbling to hold a meeting, at which he will submit his views and sug. gestions, and it is likely that they will be sent to Gaidzik and other western men for approval, after they have been complled into a code. of an international nature.

BIG HORSE'S PHENOMENAL SPEED Vietory in Spite of Handicap Over a Mexlean Champlon——Racing on a Ranch—Economy that Lost a Great Horse. NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—"The proposition that I got into during my early racing career,’ said a man whose name 1s as well known In England as it is in the United States, and who has trained the winners of the greatest classics in both countries, “was when I was a youngster and owned only one horse in partnership with another mal The speaker, who has practically retired from active participation in racing, seated in the Paddock at the Hoffman house, and by reason of his many years of experlence in the game and the fact that he Is one of the cleanest and best liked of the old guard anything he says is always listened to eagerly by the rank and file of sportsmen, who think that racing horses is the greatest of all outdoor amusements. “I was & youngster then,” he went on, “and didn’'t have many ocarcs, and my partner was & good mate for me. We had picked up a quarter horse in the western portion of Texas that could outrun any- thing that I have ever seen in any country He could beat such horses as we have seen on our racecourses around New York the last twenty-five years about three lengihs in & dash of a quarter of & mile.” Remembering tne speed possessed by Domino, Hanover, Correction, Kingston, Voter, Roseben, Commando, Sysonby and many other turf idols that the speaker had seen race, to say nothing of the fleei sprinters of England and Vrance, and he had seen Eager, Royal Fiush, Kilcock, Vietor Wild and horsesmof iLhat class on foreign fields, the listeners sat up and took notice. One of them finally found his tongue long enough to say, “Do you mean that he could beat our best thoroughbreds three lengths in a quarter?” ‘“Yes, and he welghed more than any thoroughbred you ever saw, too. 1 have never seen a horse before or since that ap- proached him in muscular power. “His thighs and second thighs were de- veloped so that they bulged and swelled when he walked. He had as fine a head toughest was cold blood in a heavy mane and tail, the hair being coarse and harsh to the touch. “He was said to be by a well known quarter horse and out of a mare of un- known breeding—probably a close de- scendant of some of the wild horses which roamed that country in droves. We had heard of the horse and we were told won- derful tales of his speed. “Having a pretty fair mare at that time that we had beaten everybody within our part of the country, we made up our minds to try conclusions with the so-called thunderbolt of the west. We found no dif- ficulty in arranging & match on our ar- rival at the ranch of his owner and they found no more difficulty in beating us. That blg fellow simply smothered our mare, and she was good enough to have never tasted defeat before, you will re- member. “We took our medicine like little men and went back home considerably poorer In pocket, but a heap richer In experience. That fall we sold quite a bunch of cattle, and among the men we did business with was & cowman who had a story about an old Mexican in Chihuahta who had a quarter horse that had trimmed every- thing below the Rio Grande and that if | they liked him they were willing to bet on as any thoroughbred, but he showed his| anybody could go down there and beat him he could win all the old fellow had, cattle, land and money in-the bank. ““We put our heads together after things had been arranged for the winter, and I went out and bought the big fellow that had beaten our mare. We had to pay $5,000 for him and we had to sell our mare to get ehough money to finance the scheme, but we figured on making the | Mexican pay us back In one race. The next move was to make the match, and the first preliminary was a trip to the ranch where this wonderful horse was owned. “So one day 1 jumped on a pony I had that was tough enough for anything that came along, and after days of leisurely | welcome as a stranger and a traveler | who was seeing the cattle In that part of | the country, and I found that the tales told about the owner of the place had not | misrepresented either his wealth or his| bellef in the prowess of his horse. There | of thousands of acres and there was a | and going at headquarters. It didn't take | the horse, the subject “I could and one evening I broached of quarter racing to my host. speak enough Spanish to get along very nicely and it didn't take long for me to make a race for $5,000 a side. I wanted them to come half way to run it, but the old man, who was upwards of 50, urged his age as an excuse for not leaving home and offered us $500 for ex- penses If we could come and race at the ranch. I knew what that might mean. It meant that we would have to win the race decisively, and it might mean a fignt at the getaway. “Finding that the match could be ar- ranged In no other way 1 consented, and | we each put up a forfeit of $,00 and | agreed to run one month from that date. His horse, a big chestnut of the regulation quarter horse type, was ready to race. 1| could see that at a glance when he was shown to me after our forfelts were up. That was the first look 1 had had at him 00, as they were evidently afrald that the horse's formidable appearance would frightetn me and negotlations would be | declared off. “On my return home we prepared for | our journey, bringing three close friends | who could be depended upon and our Jockey along. We made the journey in easy stages, and it was a week before the race when we reached our destination. Quarters were assigned us. Young beef was killed and hung for us and nothing wus too good for us. “They all Inspected our horse, and while their own candidate, and when the day before the race came our party stood to win or lose more than $10,00. We could have wagered an indefinite amount, sol confident were our opponents, but we had reached our limit. “The evening before the day set for the race the aged Mexican and one of his sons came for us to look at the course over which the horses would race. There were two level paths about five feet apart lald out across the prairle and there was | really no choice between them, though we | went through the ceremony of tossing a | coln for a cholce. We won the toss and chose that on the left, so that our boy could use his whip if necessary without any charge of Interference on the part of our rival. We were In a strange country and knew that whatever we got we would have to get by the hardest sort of work and then perhaps fight to keep It “The race was set for 9 o'clock the next morning, and when I walked out toward the course about an hour before the time of starting I had the shock of my life. The Mexicans had raised the end of their path |by outting chapparal and banking it with earth so that for the first fifty yards thelr horse was on a veritable toboggan. “A great light broke on me. I then knew why the Mexicans were so eager to run the race at home. Our money was up and there was no chance for it but to run or fight, and after a consultation agreed to the former, “The news of the race had spread far and wide and there were fully 8,000 persons on hand to seg it, some of the Mexican sports coming on horseback many hun- dreds of miles to see it. These crowded around the course and the horses were to run between solid walls of men and horses, for every man mounted his pony In order to see the contest the better. “Our jockey was famous for his quick- we | ness at the post and our big horse, who | had a sleepy way of walking to the start was chain lightning once he got there, travel I arrived at the ranch. I was made | and he knew his part of the job so well | that time, but who has since got ¢ that nobody could beat him away at the | word everl if his ride by a bundle of straw. “The start was ‘ask and answer, and after a few minutes preliminary sparring, during which there was absolute silence had been replaced the champlons were maneuvering, the small army of cowboys constantly coming | horses dropped into position and the race | was on. The Mexican aided by the in- long to learn all I wanted to know about | clined path had an advantage for the | first 100 yards and his native rider plying the quirt he carried with all vigor he possessed in order to hold it. “Our big horse was tearing the ground up at every mighty stride and his tail was switching In a manner characteristic to him. The Mexicans were shouting themselves hoarse and you couldn't hear yourself think. Our boy, leaning far over his mount's shoulders in much the style that Sims and Sloan rode here years after- ward, never touched the horse with the whip. Spurs we had never used—cold- blooded horses won't stand for them—and when about fifty wards remained to covered the Mexican lead had been cut down to a neck and shoulders. From that out our champion had him and the chestnut horse’s nose was at our horse's girth when the judges were reached. “It looked like a fight at first. The Mexicans, beaten at their own game, were red hot, but when they saw our little party was determined they pald up with exceed- ing bad grace, and losing no time we hit the trail for the north and that night slept on Texas soll. “What became of the horse? Oh, won every match we made with him, and finally lost him In a railroad wreck near Salt Lake City, Utah, some years later.’ That brought up the story about the num- ber of good horses which had been killed through being shipped as freight instead of by express, where they have y care and reach thelr destination at the earliest possible moment, instead of being bumped around and often thrown down, when not more seriously hurt. “You all remember was the we v that good horse George Arnold that J. W. Fuller of Wills be | of that amount, even If he neve: Point, Tex.,, owned some years ago, don't you?" broke in one of the listeners. “I saw him run a mile over the old Crescent City treck at New Orleans In 1:39 with his weight up, and If you fellows who remem- ber the shape It was in those days you will know what that meant. “Arnold was sixteen hands apd an inch high, was by Sir Dixon out of Dione, by the French horse Mortimer that Mr. Loril- |lara brought out from France. There was | no better bred or better looking horse thyn | this fellow, and Fuller knew it. “Before coming to New Orleans Arnold had cleaned up pretty thoroughly around Chicago, and they tell a good story on one of our young New York millionaires who | was going Into racing pretty strong at 1 teet the ponfes and now accompanies his wife to the suffragette meetings “This young man, to quote John Mad- den, had ‘papa’s check book’ then and he saw George Arnold win one of Jim How- |ard’s big handicaps at Washington park. on were 40,000 head of cattle on the hundreds | with every eye trained on the point where | Walking out into the paddock after the ce when the big horse was being cooled off this young millionaire asked someons | to show him the owner of the horse. “They pointed to a medlum sized man with a drooping blond mustache and a sky- plece like all those Texans who want to g0 home again wear. Approaching Fuller, who was chewing a stem of timothy as he watched the apple of his eye walk about in the grass, the milllonaire sald: n; do you own this horse? was the ale? wus the next query. s, responded the Texan, stild looking at the horse with shining eves, ** ‘Give you $10,000 for him,' was the New | Yorker's next essay, | “No response from Fuller. ‘Give you $15,000 for him.' Still no response from the Texan, as h stroked the stem of timothy. | “'Give you $20.000. | “At this Fuller spat ont the piece of | timothy, looked full at the New Yorker for the first time and slowly remarked | “Mister, that horse next to my wife and childven; I've got as much land at home 28 he could walk over In a week |and on it there are 20,000 cattlo and 5,000 sheep: I repeat he is not for sale.’ Still, lking the horse the way he did, he shipped him home by frelght and the splen- |ala brute was killed. Fuller sued the | Texas & Pacific for $30,000 and there was a |red hot law suit threatened for some time. A number of the officials at the New Or- |1eans races were asked to put a value, on the horse and the sult was finally com- promiscd upon the payment of $18,000, “George Arnold was worth every dollar raced gain, and you can bet Fuller, who Is still acing, has given up shipping good horses by frelght, at least not urless they are well insure reply. comes SS, OLD SORES Every old sore is an external symptom of a depraved or polluted con- dition of the blood. in a state of irritation | them the impurities and morbid matters with which it is filled.
