GRAND OLD MAN OF
TURF PAYS ANNUAL
VISIT 10 COLUMBIA
ED GEERs IN CITY FOR A SHORT
VISIT TO HIS MANY
FRIENDS.
TALKS Or NAPOLEON DIRECT
Thinks Maury County Horse Is Sure
Two Minute PAGER This Season.
Etawah Will Also Step Close to
even Time This Year His Opinion.

Edward F. Geers, better known
abroad as the grand old man from
Tennessee" was in the city for q
short time Thursday. While here he
,dispelled the force of that sobriquet,
which he has gained in other states
as "the silent man from Tennessee"
for he was in very reminiscent
mood and talked freely to those who
met him.
M Reverting to "horseology," about
which he has more practical knowl-
edge than any other man alive, Mr..
Geers was especially enthusiastic
about Napoleon Direct, the great son
OF Walter Direct, who is owned by
Clark Jones and Hint Frierson, Of
Cross Bridges. He stated that he was
undoubtedly two minute PAGER, and
that he expected to drive him In even
time or better next year. OF course,
Mr. Geers is very partial to him, for
he Is a Hal, the tribe of horses with
which he made his reputation more
than thirty years ago. Furthermore,
his sire was driven by Mr.. Geers,
who still retains half interest in
him. Aside from this interest, how
ever, Mr.. Geers has been attracted to
him by his stamina and courage. He
said that Napoleon had that bull dog
courage in the stretch, when called
upon for a drive, that all truly great
race horses must have. Mr. Geers
viii campaign him next year in the
free-for-alls on the grand circuit and
expects to ride his first mile below
two minutes behind him. For while
ft is not generally known, yet it is
nm actual fact that in all of the years
that he has driven, the grand old
man" has never driven a horse below
two minutes.
Mr. Geers stated in the course of
his conversation that Etawah, the
four year old trotter, which was
bred and raised at Murfreesboro, was
the greatest trotter on the American
turf today. He will be a five year old
this season, just in his full maturity,
and Mr. Geers thinks that he like
Napoleon Direct, is good for a mark
I'm even time or better.
While he was here, Mr.. Geers called
upon numebr of his old friends in
the city, among them being DR.. Wal
ter p Woodbridge, John McGaw, Maj.
A. N. Akin and w. T. Chaffin. He
spent some time at the home Of the
latter, who is confined to his home
with Illness.
i In spite of his nearly sixty-four
years, Mr.. Geers is the picture of
good health. He was as lively, opti-
mistic and cheerful as young man,
and seemed to have taken a fresh
lease upon life. He expects next year
to be his best on the turf, as he al
ready has several sure winners and
Is expecting large bunch of promis-
ing green material to be trained next
spring.
