The week has been one of surprises in
the way of fast time. When John L. Mad
den of Lexington. Ky. forecasted through
The Star a Few weeks since that the pres
ent season would eclipse the season of
1896 in the matter of phenomenal speed at
the trOt and pace, many horsemen were
inclined to discount the optimistic Ken
lucky breeder. The weather for six weeks
past, however. has been favorable for
speed making, provided one had the goods,
and every one may confidently look for

At Point Breeze, near Philadelphia,

and PAGERS have been performing during
the past week weather conditions have

The special pace carded for Tuesday was

Discarded Race Horses.
By Clarence L. Cullen.

A few days ago The Star printed this
special dispatch:
LEXINGTON, KY, July 1.-THE ia
nous race horse and sire Inspector B.
was sold on Cheapside here this morn
ing for SIS to a farmer. Col. Milton
Young, proprietor Of McGrathiana farm.
next to James B. Higgins the world
largest breeding farm of thoroughbred
horses, owned the famous horse. He won
the Belmont, Tidal and other stakes, and
is the sire Of Endurance by Right and
other large money making horses"
For those who have been following
the old game for long time there is a
bit of an equine tragedy in these few
lines.
Inspector B. sold to farmer for SIS,
Ell? Presently, then, that sunny-tem-
pered, great hearted sorrel may be pull
ing a plough. Maybe he'll help to fur
nish the motive power for an old-fash-
toned threshing machine. Maybe hell be
assisting - hitched with some p;ebeian
dogan of a farm animal-in the vanking
of a cultivatOr or a harvesting machine
over Kentucky fields. On Sundays, be-
like he'll be hitched to a creaky surrey,
with some ornery equine churl for a
mate, to haul the farmer and his family
to and from the village church.
Performing these low tasks in his old
age, denoted and degraded to the rating
Of a farm drudge because his days Of
usefulness In the stud are over, one Won
ders. in a retrospective sort Of way,
whether old Inspector B. will fall to pom
dering the matter as he munches his
feed in the farmers barn. For, ii horses
really think, and have memories. as many
a horseman believes, what swell and
justifiable chance that grand old sorrel
will have to reflect unto himself, What's
the user"
And wouldn't 1t have been the fair
and the nice thing for the owner of In
spector B., himself remembering all that
the great old sorrel had done for him,
the races and the money he had won for
him, the fame he had helped 20 give
him, the horses he had produced for him
wouldn't it have been the nice and the
fair thing for that owner to have al
lowed the old horse, even If his days of
usefulness were all and quite passed, to
mooch around on the blue grass of the
stud farm of his nativity until the drum
tapped calling for him to cash in for the
journey to horse heaven?
One wonders.
There other instances even more ag-
gravated than that of Inspector B. In
recalling examples Of great race horses
neglected in their declining days, the name
of Banquet comes rocketing to the men,

Burns.
Referee Jefrries was. next to Tommy, the
closest man to Squres during the two min
utes that the fight lasted, and was there
fore in position to learn just what was
wrong From the beginning Of the storm
of harsh criticism he kept the hammer in
his tool chest and refused to knock
Squires. HE Is dangerous fellow said
Jeffries mo matter what others say
Burns caught him first crack out Of the
box and Squires was so eager to be up and
doing that he arose before his head cleared
He should have stayed down when he first
tumbled and taken the full count. He did
not recover fully after he got that smash
but / tell you when he rolled into Burns
and began throwing his right at the body
and the left at the head he looked to me
like fellow who knows how to fight and
has been in tight places before. Burns
had the advantage over him. Tommy was
cool and was not hurt, and he never gave
Squres a chance to pull himself together
If he had things might have gone on for
some rounds before the finish came.''
An awful wall comes from Australia
about the match. The subjects of King
Edward cannot become reconciled to the
fact that "Boshter Bill had a good chance
to show his qualities. and they are willing
to give Burns bonus of s., 500 and let him
take the entire purse, win, lose or draw, If
J he will only enter the ring with Squires
again Burns Is ready to go to Australia,
and a match will probably take place early
in December, and it will be easy money for
Tommy. 1t was not lucky punch that
put squires out of business, but a we'll
planned style of battle. Burns it appears
had been tipped off that Squires was going
to take 1t easy for awhile. 30 Burns sim
ply double crossed" him, and. rushing in
at the tap of the. bell, landed the blow that
finished poor Bill.

and kept on to the twentieth getting his.
1t was game fight Monte put up and he
only lost to Moran because he refused to
get himself into condition"
NEW YORK, July 2O.-Al Greenwood is
back in New York with a challenge to
Honey Melody. Greenwood would like to
fight Melody for any purse lying around
loose, anyhere and at any time. He thinks
he would have just as good chance with
the New England whirlwind as any Of the
other welters or mddleweight who are
trying to annex Mellodys title. For a few
months past Greenwood has been ruSticat-
ing at Schenectady. While there he jumped
into the river and rescued a little girl
from drowning. 1t took a long dive to find
the child and long swim to bring her
broken glass while cropping about on the
bottom But he has recovered entirely
and is ready to fight again. He isn't look
ing for medals. Purses are more useful.
Greenwood wasn't the first fighter to dis
tinguish himself in the life-saving line.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 2o-The
fight fans here are now taking a more le
nient view of Bib Squires defeat by
Tommy Burns. On July whenever
Squires' name was mentioned 1t was in
connection with some such characterization
as dub" "sizzer' or frost" but now.
having voiced their disappointment, the
sports have taken a more charitable view
of the Australian's performance. An
opinion is steadily gaining ground that
Squres was In very nervous condition
when he entered the ring win Burns for his
first really important match and that this
together with a lucky punch from Burns,
did the trick. Many say that If Squires
could have lasted long enough to regain his
GOODNESS and poise he would have made a
far better showing; but none Of these goes

1t seems. for long time by men who have
grown tired of the fakes and fukes that
nave brought pugtlism- into such disrepute
that 1t Is outlawed in three-fourths Of the
through the west SO that many editors of
sports, square managers of fighters and
clubs have taken 1t up.
Above all else these men would do away
with decisions OF referees In pugilistic en-
counters. Were there no decisions there
would be no betting, they argue. Were
there no betting there would be no robberies
perpetrated and none attempted, such as
the OBrien- Burns affair. Therefore. 1t is
insisted. boxing would become a pure sport
Ike base ball, at which the women and the
little children might sit in admiration and
cheer on each punch and jab and hook.
The giving of decisions in boxing bouts
has been in vogue long enough" says Mr..
heevln, Ito prove whether or not 1t has
helped the sport. So far as l have been
able to Judge. the only persons who de-
mand decision are the grafters who have
bought the referee and want to collect by
his nod. When you cut out these people
you cut out the grafters and there won't
be so many steals"
Sporting men here generally say that the
scheme outlined by Mr.. Keeyin is i'm
practicable.
NEW YORK, July 2O.-Although Bat
ting Nelson is willing to accept Tex
Richards offer of a $4,000 purse for an
other finish fight with Joe Cans at Ely
New. on Labor day afternoon. Billy Noiah'
his manager, says that the weight limit
for which they have been contending Will
be strictly enforced and may possibly be
raised He claims that no weight OF less
than 1873 pounds at 8 o'clock will be con-
sidered and that on account Of Nelson's
increased bulk they may ask for ia
pounds. Nelson seemed to be far above the
lightweight limit when introduced to the
SPECTATORS at the Burns-Squire go. 1t Is
Considered doubtful by some authorities
whether he can get to the 133-pound mark
again, and 1t is thought that Nolan may
demand even a higher weight than that
mentioned.
