Cost Him the Race.

They succeeded in their plans in this
| instance, and Geers was taken the over
| land route to the extent that il cost him
the race. II was after this act of Gus
sedness" that the veteran walked over to
| the stable of the driver who happened TO
he the ringleader of the plan to put
him over the fence" and directed the re-
| marks quoted above. Out of his sys-
TEN, Geers felt relieved, but 1t is said
that he later repented for using such a
strong expression.
He never before went SO strongly in
his expletive, and has never been known
since TO so far forget himself as to ad-
dress any of his associates in anything
but the most gracious way.
In regard TO the kind treatment Of
horses and the results achieved there
from Pop Geers is not unlike that pre-
mier jockey of the past, Tod Sloan. Tod
the most Skilled rider that ever sat
| astride horse i'm this country or i'm Eng
land. France or any other land, was
| never known TO abuse a horse in the
slightest, nor did he have any patience
with any person who did.
Early Training Important.
Tod Sloan could get more out of a vi
cious animal than any other knight OF
the pigskin. He did not bring about
these results by means of the whip or
spur. 1t was kindness alope that won
the day for Tod with these fractions
brutes. He further claimed that il he
had had the early training of these ami
mails they would never have developed
the savage disposition he found them
possessing.
Tod nursed his mounts along in their
races through 4 line OF kindly converse
ton. which he was ever indulginG In
during the course of a race. In the har-
ness world Pop Geers is just such an
other horseman with the Sloan ideas.
Geers talks TO his horses as he drives
along. and never resorts TO the whip
until il is absolutely necessary 10 do so,
and then in no brutal fashion The horses
under the plotage of these men appear
TO understand the meaning of the whip
more than do the animals which are in
discriminatory dashed by brutal and
clumsy Jockeys and drivers.
The Geers and Sloan treatment seems
best all around, especially in the light
of the victories achieved by the pair on
horses that did not accomplish anything
In winning way under the guidance of
others.

RICHARD A MAN
OF IRON NERVE
Rex Beach Tells How Tex
Prevented a Riot at
Tonopah.

How quickly every one closed up about
the possibility of the Jefries-Johnson
fight not being properly handled by the
third man in the ring when Tex Richard.
one of the promoters of the battle. was
selected as referee. IL was because OF the
confidence the west had in Richard. The
east knew little about this fearless gam
bier from Nevada. but western writers
soon told New York. Boston and Phila-
delphia scribes what to expect OF Tex.
1t is an old story now. but II is worth
telling again, how Richard averted a
massacre one night in Tonopah, New.
when a Eumber OF miners of the rougher
type were mad because of the spectacle
OF a white man being beaten by negro.
Ii is certain that the quick and cool
headed action of Richard averted the
shoot-up. Rex Beach. well known
writer, who was there, told the story as
follows.

Tonopah, and the main saloon Of the town
was packed with an excited mob, many
OF whom had witnessed the defeat of the
Chicagoan by the then all but invincibie
Cans. Richard and Ole Elliott who had
promoted the fight, were entertaining a
party of friends in the place, among the
notables being Nat Goodwin, Nate Lewis
and others.
They were having many labor Difficult
ties in Nevada at the time. and there was
an ugly feeling rampant. One big fellow.

to whip white men.
And l suppose you think JACK John

yelled in a menacing tone, gingering his
remarks with some names that caused
Tex to turn pale in an instant.

stead of quieting down the labor man

and made a motion TO draw weapon
