Bennie McNeill comes to the froo*

and decorations. Those who attend
ed the labor temple entertainment
will recall the large amount of white
cloth that was used in swathing the
beams, wall and ring, and '.be gtar

the ring. McNeill says that the ex
traordinarily bright tights, together
with the pure white horizon, grently
bothered the boxers. When looking
up. he says, be was blinded, and
when he looked around, he saw nil

and would frequently strike at them

there was no need for McNeill to

Hope to Race Trotting Aristocrats In
Free-for-All as Climax to Big Line Season
The star event of the year's grand circuit meeting In all probability will be a free for all trot at Lexing
ton this fall. It Is hoped by putting on such an evenr to bring together the stars of the day—the real head
liners In the trotting division. As Lexington's meeting comes in October there is an excellent chance that
Etawah. 2:OS 1-4. considered the greatest trotting stallion regardless of The Harvester and Cresceua. wIH t>e
ready to go the race of his life. In that case the sucre-** of the match Is assured For with Etawah In line
there is an excellent chance that Peter Volo. 2 03 1-2. Lee Axworthy, 2:04, and various other fleet young trot
ters would be brought together. ‘
Early this month owner* jf the Pastime stable challenged W. E D Stoke*, owner of Peter Volo and
Frank G. Jones, owner of Etawah. to race Lee Axworthy at Cleveland during the grand circuit meet the week
of July. This was too early to get Etawah ready as he now Is out of training, while the owner of Peter Volo
probably thought the big Peter the Great would not be at top form then and did not accept. Ho the match
fell through No other attempt has been made to bring these trotters together and as Lexington come* «
the end of the grand circuit campaign when the horses *re ready for their best efforts. Lexington is the
logic*] place to stage such an important race.
From all account*, however. It will not be a race for Etawah, Peter Volo and Lee Axworthy alone There
are some other phenomenally fast trotters to be entered and owners of aom»* of these horse* are not willing
to admit that one of the big three will win the race. Captain Shaw of Cleveland has announced that he would
enter Joan. 2:<44 1-4. In a free for all trot at Lexingtor. while Bert Hhank. acting for Henry Stambaugh of
Youngstown, says that Rythmell. 2:04 1-4. will be a starter barring accidents.
Other probable entrants would be Newiel, 2 oft 1-4. owned by H K Devereaux; Omar. 2:OS 1-4, the trotter
that caused the 910.000 Paper Mills stake to be declared off when It was opened for 2:07 trotters; Margaret
Drulen. 2 Oft 1-4. the Cox entrant; Bur Winter. 2:OS. of Lon McDonald s string who has been wintered in
California, and Maymack. 2 04 1-4, another California resident.
Detroit Weak In U. of M. Football'
Next Fall, But Not a Year Later
ANN ARBOR. Mich.. May I— Although Detroit will have very little
representation on the University of Michigan football team next fall, the
year following should see the state metropolis pia< ed in the limelight by
two of its native sons. Both “Les" Clark and “Vic” Whit marsh are plan
ning to enter the University of Michigan next fall and both expect to play
football, a game at which they starred In high school. They will both try
out for the Ail-Fresh team this year, and It Is likely thst they will engag-
In a haul* for the same position-—quarterback, although it is probable
that another poaltlon will be found for one of them.
The fact that Clark won ten athletics monograms at Detroit Central,
captained four teams, and starred at Brown university last fall gives *'Ls*“
an edge over Whltmarsh in the matter of record, but the latter's perform
ance on the gridiron last fall waa spectacular In the extreme Both are
also crack basketball players and very fair performers on the diamond.
With this two available for Yost In 191«. Detroit will resume the place
of importance In Michigan athletics thst Craig. Torbett and Patterson
won for It a year or two ago

Get Racing: Started Earlier by Not

Baseball Is In full swing, yet the season for bsrnees racing will

ings in June. Delays In preparing horses for the season Is not be
lieved to be the principal reaaon. Tear of records on the pert of
drivers la given as the real dope on the sltuaUon. The relnsman try
to win as much money as possible without taking a record early In
the year, and early racing has thus come to be looked upon with a
certain degree of suspicion. In order to dodge this difficulty and get
harness racing started aa toon aa leather permits, E. J. Curtin, presi
dent of the Great Western circuit, haa suggested that a ruling be es

This plan would allow horsemen to race their horses Into condition

Mark gtva far Mr. Baker are t
Walsh schlsvsd his balk meUo
by long and painstaking efforts. 1
really was a balk, although it pro)
ably was not so-called half a dose
times In four ysars. He did It wit!
a queer hunching movement of th
shoulder that led the runners t
think he had started his pltoh. T
those In front of or behind him th
balk was not noticeable.
Spectators often wondered Wk
he caught runners. His throw t
first was easy and seemingly a b
delayed. He had tricked the rui
ner Into starting and the reel ws
easy.
One of the funniest things Y evs
*aw was s trick pulled by Ed Reu
bach. He had a green umpire werl
Ing behind him at Brooklyn one da
and he got that umpire's confidence
He asked the umpire to stand at on
side and watch how hts fast ba
was breaking.
For three Innings Reulhnch bet
that unsuspecting umpire etaadtn
two feet to hla right and all the tlm
he waa pitching sldearm en the be
ter'* only background waa the blu
uniform of the amp, wbe wee inm
oently helping Reslkech.
