By Vincent Treanor. 1H Clarence Buxton benefit came off at Jamaica yoster- day. It was a !o.g time coming. Sasin, which has ...ed hard to win a race for him since early in this se: son, finally got home in a finish which was so close that half the crowd thought the judges were “in” with the race and gave the decision to the wrong horse. All this, of course, may have been improper. There isn't a reason in the world why the Jud; ould say Sasin won if he didn't, These men of the stewards’ stand don’t bet, and accordingly are entirely uninterested in the horse which gets home in front, The race looked to us like one of those things. Without imputing that Kummer on Monomoy had any wrong intentions, it seemed as if he could have won the race on the back~ stretch. Instgad, and maybe it w a matter of good judgment on the part of Kummer, Monomoy was held off the pace until well into the stretch. He’ hooked up with Sasin in the last eighth and in a drive which provided thrills aplenty, just barely failed to win out.

By Richard Freyer. NEW contender for pugilistle yn honors in this vicinity 1s Joe Palmer of the Trinity Club of Brooklyn, Joo is not exactly new insofar as boxing is concern While he has never had his moni record books and has nev or boxed in the East he has engaged in combat in Savanah, St. Louis, Kansas City and the Philippine Islands, In every one of these bouts the boxer has never received worse than @ draw, There- fore he ts no dumbbell. Joe's pugilistic career started this way: On Novy. 12, 1912, Palmer, along with several of his buddies were dis- cussing long distance walking, The rm R. T. was tssuing transfers on transfers at the time, and that was Lefore the railroad people made their famous statement “The public be hornswoggled” or words to that ef- feet. However, figuring on the future and to get some practice, Joe decided to walk from the borough of churches to San Francisco, starting with about two berries in his kick and a flock of souvenir postcards which he iritended selling on the way to help defray ex- penses. ‘Joe shook hands all around and the next day his pals were informed Pulmer had copped a mope and de- parted from this town, After 116 days’ valking he reached San Francisco with more weight, more experience and considerable blisters. The hiking appealed so much to Palmer that he decided to walk bask to Brooklyn, He reached Savannah on the way back when funds ran low. Joe always could handle himself In pattle, and after being informed @ poxing contest would be held that night at the neess ‘Theatre, ae eturted for that pisos and was put oa professional bout, and he came out with flying colors. A few nights later at the same place he entered the ring with Young Finn and disposed of him in two rounds. After this bout Atlanta and as Uni Palmer blew into Sam was look- ing for some “ighters at about this time Joe signed up. This was on Bt. Patrick's birthday in the year 1916.
