on exhibition a sample of all OF their
products and among them was the Otoe
Brewing company, who had a fine dis
play. Thursday morning they were ordered
TO remove II by reaEon of an order OF the

reason that County Superintendent r. c..
King, who had charge OF the exhibit OF
the county had filed a complaint and It
was backed by the parents Of the children,
from the western part of the county who
had made exhibits. Superintendent King
said that II IT remained that he would not
ask State Superintendent Bishop to speak
there that afternoon and next year none
of the children should take part In the
show. After considerable discussion the
exhibits were all removed and another
factory display took its place. The action
of the board has caused considerable COM

PUGs COME OF HARDY STOCK
Some Hail from Farms and Others
from Mines.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The meteoric
stars Of pugilism, in great measure, are
the raw, unhesrd-of youngsters who come
from nowhere, show class and quality
when they get their first chance in fast
company, and then go along the line whip
ping everyone while youthful strength re-
mains unimpaired by foolish dissipation.
Such was the history Of stars without num-
Der, and such will be the history Of many
stars who are yet to come.
Down in southern Illinois, in a little town
called Herrin, lives a piece of fighting tim
Der that, in the opinion Of the few critics
who nave been so fortunate as to behold
him, is the destined marvel Of the decade
in his own class, and perhaps beyond II.
This young fellow is an Irish blacksmith
and his name is Richard Terrell.
Billy Papke was a mining blacksmith and
a harness mender for the mules OF the mi
nois mines. Oddly enough Terrell held this
position in another mine, and II can be
taken for granted hat both Papke and
Terrell. brought up to this kind Of grueling
work, are OF herculean strength and vigor.
Papke got his chance first, and the fistlc
world knows how well he improved It.
Ferrelis. turn is yet to come. and all who
have seen the second OF the Illinois black

a swath as the German slugger.
Old Bob F1tzsImmons Is credited with
Finding Terrell in the obscurity Of the lit
tie Illinois village. The good old boy was
showing through that part OF Illinois a
couple Of years ago and when his p
played a one-night stand at Herrin young
Terrell sought out the veteran. Just what
passed between the blacksmith champion
of the past and the aspiring blacksmith
Of the present was never known, and
neither Bob nor Terrell ever told the story
OF their interview. Perhaps the great
Cornishman tried Terrell out In his room
at the village hotel-perhaps he only looked
over, took keen judgment OF his Won
derful strength and bulldog style and
judged him accordingly. However this
may be, Bob for many weeks afterward
told all the fighting critics whom he met
that there was "a blooming devil, a fight
ing wonder, my word" in the little Illinois
town.
A promoter, who was holding shows at
Peoria, heard old Bob mention the boy
and sent for him to fight one Billy May

MANY COLTS ARE WITHDRAWN
HOpefu stakes Have Lost by ship
ments to other Chimes.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Announeament OF
the declarations from the Hopeful stakes
to be decided at Saratoga next year show
that no fewer than 2sl eligibles have been
Withdrawn. This is the best 2-year-old flu
ture that is offered by the Saratoga assoc
citation, and for its running in 1910 a ban
ner nomination list was received. 1t was
one Of the many futures that were closed
when racing was on the crest wave OF
prosperity. and the declaration list, at the
first time Withdrawals were possible, re-
fleets In a great measure the number Of
American foals that were sent either to
the market or TO be raced abroad.
James B. Haggin. who was the most lib
eral ~nominator, was also the largest ship

sent mares as we'll as foals to England.

Harry Payne Whitney, who raced al
most exclusively in England, is next on the

OF these nave since been engaged In Eng
lish stakes n will undoubtedly be kept
on the other side. John F. Madden, who
sent a considerable shipment TO France,
has stricken out twenty-four, and James

denied him. 1t took a little less than two
rounds.
Since the fighting game shut down in
Illinois Terrell has been fighting in the
west and south. He had cleaned up a lot
Of third and second rate pugs and now,
yearns to meet real ones for real money
hence he is coming east. Some sensation,
too, when the fighters even get a glimpse
at this young man.
Terrell is the exact twin of Tom Sharkey,
face and body. only on a minor scale, os
he can do 142 pounds. This mass OF muscle
and bulldog ferocity attacks after the style
of Honey Melody, but comes in much
faster, while his blows are far heavier
with either hand. Imagine Joe Waleott

you have Richard Terrell, southwestern
welter champion. He ought to prove a good
one.

NO REAL OFFERS BEING MADE

Bids with Checks,

Bids with Cheeks
NEW YORK, Nov. N.-Accordlng to Bob
Murphy, who is stakeholder for the JEFF

that unless these offers are backed up
with the required forfeit before December
l they will be thrown in the wastebasket
to clear the way and save time for legiti-
mate club promoters to put in their bids,
When articles were signed the fact that
5000 must each bid as a guar
antee OF good faith was widely published,
so that II is safe to say that the bids al
ready received by the stakeholder are
worthless. As the time draws near to con-
slider bids the impression grows that Jack
Gleason and James Coffroth are the only
promoters who will be regarded seriously
by the puigilists and their managers, un-
less Thomas McCarey OF Los Angeles comes
across with al Unexpectedly big offer. In
private conversation both Jeffries and
Johnson have admitted that Gleason and
Coffroth are the only Frisco men who
know how to pull off a big mill, and as
these promoters have plenty OF ready
money with which TO meet conditions that
may be named by the pugilists It seems to
be a foregone conclusion that one or the
other will get the match. So persons who
never had a chance TO pull Of the tight in
Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Washington, Ken
lucky, Georgia, Connecticut and other i'm
possible places may soon realize that time
and postage have been wasted to no pur-
pose.
This offering Of purses has become a
mania with some persons, and the pugilists,
also their managers. are constantly an
noyed by queerly worded letters. A little
man carrying a cigar box under his arm
hung around a Broadway hotel the other
afternoon and told numerous persons that
he wanted TO see Jeffries.

at a time when it has been impossible to
determine whether or not the youngster Is
Of Hopeful caliber. Some Of those still in
America are in the declaration list, but
the original entry carried nominations Of
something like 900, so that in any event the
Hopeful Of 1910 will surely be one Of the
big 2-year-old prizes OF the coming year.
Declarations are also in for the United
States Hotel Stakes, the Grand Union
Hotel Stakes and the S~pinaway, all Of 1910,
and the Trawers Of 1911. In each Of these
the list is a moderate one and they in no
way compare with the oHpeful. which was
the stake that topped all others in the

NEONu EOAuH batNAe AOyal over Race
Horse Judges Decision.
VIENNA. Nov. T.-The other afternoon
the famous trotting course on the Prater
was the scene OF such scandalous excesses
as have never before been witnessed there.
A race course crowd is VIGOROUSLY prone to
give vent to its feelings, especially when
1t thinks that an injustice has been done to
its pockets, and 1t was this idea which led
to a battle royal, In which a good deal OF
blood was spilled, heads were broken, and
much miscellaneous damage done to prop
erty.
The cause OF this display OF violent pas
sion was q false start, owing to which the
first three horses to reach the winning
post were disqualified, and the fourth ar
rival was declared to be the winner. He
was a rank outsider, and to his fortunate
hackers the "totalisator' paid odds Of 90
to l. This decision did not find favor with
the public. who promptly began TO create
a disturbance. Stands were reduced to
mateh-wood, and stones, beer glasses and
other missiles were hurled at the heads OF
the judges. With cries of "Lynch them!"
tn Infatuated mob sentenced the Judges TO
death, but these unlucky individuals just
managed to escape before the sentence could
be carried out. The windows and door of
the imperial box were smashed.
Authority in the shape of the police ar
rived on the scene, but met with such a
hostile reception that the order Draw
swords!" was given. and many people re-
ceived a taste OF cold steel, some being serl-
ously injured. The riot put a stop to the
sport, and the remainder Of the program
was not carried out. After a brief struggle
the disturbance was quelled. fifty-four per-
sons being arrested. The remainder rue
fully dispersed. some counting their losses,
others their bruises, and on the scene of
the riot lay a heterogeneous collection OF
hats, sticks, match wood and broken glass.
