RACING MAN
WAS OLD PHIL DWYER
Tales of the Days When Butcher OMIT
Block to Back Fast Steeds and Get
Rich.
By H. C. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 21.-When Phil
Dwyer died in this city two weeks ago
of the best known men in the rae
ing game was gone. Known mainly as
president of the Brooklyn Jockey club
and the Queens County Jockey club. he
was known to racing men the world
over as a subtle power in the race
game years before horse racing be-
came tainted with bad betting and
crooked races.
With Michael f. Dwyer, a brother,
Phillip Dryer organized the Brooklyn
Jockey club and built the old Grave
send track, where the Brooklyn handi-
cap and many other noted eastern
classics we're run. When it finally
went out of existence Phil Dwyer took
over the Acqueduct track, then a mile
circuit, transformed it into a mile and
a quarter course, and transferred the
Brooklyn handicap and other classics
which had made the GraVesend track
famous.
In the Washington market for years
the two Dryers conducted a butcher
business, relinquishing it finally TO be-
come the owners Of Radamanthus. a
horse OF more than usual ability. The
butcher business soon was showed
completely into the background and
there was laid a foundation Of shrewd
horse judgment, business Judgment,
and honest dealing that has made

TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB
DONATES TO THE RED CROSS

A special meeting of Twentieth
Century club was called by the presi-
dent, Mrs. j.. L. Cooksley Tuesday af-
ternoon, June 10, at the high school
auditorium for the purpose Of making
definite plans for assisting the Red
Cross. Three suggestions were offer
ed by the president, as follows:
First, that the Twentieth Century
club swimming pool fund, together
with the money in the club treasury
be donated to the Big Red Cross fund.
The donation amounting to $245.
Second, that the club membership
be divided alphabetically into six di-
visions for the purpose of sewing for
the Red Cross, each division in charge
of a chairman.
The first division consisting of the
letters A. B and G, with Mrs. F. R.
Cox as chairman, will meet Tuesday
afternoon, July 3rd, at the Red Cross
sewing rooms at 2 o'clock.
Third, that the Twentieth Century
club meet in general session the last
Tuesday in July. and August, so that
the club may be prepared to meet
any emergency, that may arise. All
three suggestions were heartily re-
ceived m unanimously voted upo
The members of the club requested
that their president call a meeting
Of her advisory committee to form
plans whereby funds may be raised to
replenish the treasury. Before adj
journment the president urged all
members to attend the coming club
meetings, and bring with them their
mite as a nucleus to a fund for fu-
ture calls. All meetings for the sum

ROAD SUGGESTS THAT COAL Be
STORED EARLY THIS YEAR
The Union Pacific Gives Reasons
Why 1t Is Wise to Lay in n Store
Early This Summer

The Oregon Short Line. as part of
the Union Pacific system this last
week sent out the following circular
urging the early storage of coal:
A few reasons why dealers and the
public must store coal now:
The situation Is far more serious
than it ever has been in this section
with little promise of improvement.
Producers are unable to keep pace
with the situation on account of be-
ing unable to secure miners, and nat
urally CONSUMPTION will further cur
tail available men.
Australian and Canadian Goa prac-
tically discontinued to coast cities re-
sulting in heavy demand for western
coal at these points.
Fuel oil is being curtailed and price
rising further increasing demand for
coal for steam purposes.
Sugar plants and factories increas-
ing causing larger consumption of
coal.
Mobilizing of troops will mean
heavy demand for equipment to move
government stores and impedimenta.
Large crops will soon begin to move
which will tax transportation facili-
ties to fullest extent, which also re-
suits in increased use of coal for
steam purposes.
Under above conditions, the general
public, as we'll as the dealers, should
be impressed with the necessity to
now store all coal possible, as we'll as
practice economy in it's use to the full
est extent.

their name a synonym for racing in
the east.
When the Gravesend track was es-
tablished the brotherly partnership
that had existed from the time the
Washington market stall was aban-
doned. Michael made a disastrous
trip to England after this, and later
became connected with a stable which
sent Ben Brush to victory in the La
tonia and Kentucky Derbies in 1896
and in the Suburban handicap the fol-
lowing year.
Handspring was the last horse of
any repute under the ownership of
Phil Dwyer. This horse won the
Withers stakes at the Belmont track
and later captured the Brooklyn
handicap.

place it on the floor beside the little
stove. One of them, who is a priest,
leans over him and asks his name and

many other tragic nights, he douses
his head in a bucket of water. Then
he turned to the wounded man. He
looked long at him, gently felt his
nose and lifted up his closed eyelids.
Then, at his nod, the stretcher is again
lifted and the wounded man carried
