GEERS' IMMENSE STABLE.


Dean Of Trottins Turf Has Forty ak
Horses In Training.
Edward +. Geers. the dean OF the
American trotting turf, as usual holds
the seasons record for the Billings
track In Memphis. Tenn. The grand
old man Of the sulky believes in lind
ing out early what a horse can do, so
he searches his proteges much soon
er than many other trainers. AS
result, when other candidates are be-
ing given workout miles around 200
and slower Mr.. Geers' horses are being
let down rapidly 10 miles close around
210.
When his horses have reached a con-
dition that suits him, ''Mars" Ed lets
mp the grueling prep until about two
weeks before the first race. Then with
little brushing the campaigners are
put right on edge and are generally
ready to collect at the conclusion Of
each race.
1t Il q very hard matter. however, to
keep a horse in racing condition from
early June. when they reach their
speed, as trained by Mr.. Geers, until
late in October. and In view OF that
fact other trainers go more slowly with
their horses, preferring to have them
attain their form gradually and rice
into tiptop shape. But Mr.. Geers has
his special system. and as he generally
wins lot Of money with his big stable
1t Is q good way for him to train them
This year Ed GeerS has forty-six
horses In his stable. Included In this
large number Of campaIgners are some
classy prospects, which make the sta

THE BOSTON AMARIoAMa
Louis for Catcher Spencer and $1,000.
Judging by the present form Of the
men, Boston got the better end Of the
deal. Chech has pitched grand ball
since the start, and Ryan has given
promise Of developing into q crack
tWirler.
On the other hand, Young has not
been the grand success he was ex-
pected to be, and Criger has not star
tied the fans with his great backstop-
ping. Before the season opened Man
ager Fred Lake declared that he could
whip together a near or possibly a
championship team with a band OF
youngsters. So far be has been sue
cessful. The Red Sox have been play
ing a sensational game and have been
running the bases and batting at a
great clip. Outfielders Iris Speaker,
Hooper, Captain Gessler and Catcher
Carrigan have been up among the
leading batters OF the American league.
BostOn's main strength lies In the
ability of the men to bat and run
bases, coupled with the consistent good
twirling Of the pitchers. McConnell's
playing at second sack has been the
feature Of many games. Wagner has
been playing an excellent game at
short, and II the youngster can keep
