Races-Americans Are Big
Money Getters in France.

When Jockey Fator of Twin Falls
rade Sam Hildreth's Mad Halter to
victory in the $4,000 champion stake
race for three-year- olds at Latonia,
Kentucky, last week, followers of the
sport of kings were given a nice little
thrill. 1t was over muddy track, the
distance a mile and three quarters, and
the time not SO fast, sos. Sway. with
Van Dusen IN, was second, and Stock
well third. Seven horses started and
Fator did some tall riding to pull up
from behind. pass John D. at the mile
and half post, and win by eight
lengths.
Kentucky has finished good trot-
ting season. A two weeks meet just
finished at Lexington has decided
Thomas w. Murphy as the leading
money winning driver of the year in
harness events. He won the conclud-
and has six other wins to his credit
Three of them were with Geers horses,
among them Sanardo.
Sanardo stepped mile in 2:0os on
his first entry, and in the second look
ed as though he could have beaten
two minutes over a heavy track II
there had been anything to carry him.
The San Francisco gelding now looks
as though he would scintillate in the
free for all events next year,
Murphy's score at Lexington brought
his winning entries for the year up to
So, and his cash receipts to $IS,049.
He came close to winning the $500
first money in the Kentucky futurity
with Brusiloff, but 1t was taken in the
fifth heat by Dodge's Periscope. That
was one of the best trotting races OF
the season anywhere. Brusiloff took
two heats, one of them in 2:04h, the
fastest time made by any three-year-
old colt this year. Incidentally, the
Futurity will never again be extended
to three heats out of five.
The Transylvania was another great
race at Lexington. won by McDevitt
with Prince Loree in 2:03A. Murphys
Royal Mack was second, and might
have won but for making a break, the
second charged to him during the three
years Murphy has driven him. 1t was
Prince Loree that Royal Mack defeat
ed in the last race of the meet.
Jumping again to the running races
and jumping at the same time across
] the Atlantic, we find w. X. Wander
bilt heading the winning owners in the
French racing season. He has taken
$4,000 francs in winnings, and has
entered three horses in the Municipal
Council handicap for 100000 francs
purse. Frank O'Neill American jock
ey who has been abroad several years
is the leading winning rider, having
been up on IS winning mounts during
the season.

Greatest Since Jeffries, Says
Frisco Promoter, and Better
Even Than He-Let's Look
EN- All Over Again.
BY FLETCH.

When asked the other day to name
the greatest fighter he had ever seen,
Jim Croffoth, San Francisco fight pro-
,moter, answered very quickly that Jack
Dempsey was the one. JACK ne salo,
was the best fighter and hardest hitting
champ that ever stepped into the
squared ring and would have defeated
any of the former champs.
According to Croffoth, who has seen
every champ from John l.. Sullivan
down, Dempsey would have put John
L. to sleep IN two rounds. In addition,
he SAYS that Corbett would have taken
the referees count in six stanzas; Fit
zimmons would have hit the mat in
one or two rounds and Jeffries would
not have lasted longer than eight
gongs with the present title holder.
Jack Johnson, according to CroHoth,
would have lasted longer than any of
his predecessors, because of his de-
fensive ability, but he too, would have
been tucked away in 16 or IL rounds.
JOHN l.. Sullivan would have been put

known at the time of his ring career,
was d hard hitter and able to stand a
lot of punishment. After taking the
championship of the world from Paddy
Ryan, he toured the country. Offering
$1,000 TO any fighter who would stay
four rounds with him. Jim Corbett
was the only boxer in the United
States to stay full time with this ter
rife hitter. Finally John l.. went the

heavyweight title holders. Being light
for a heavyweight, he was forced to re-
ly entirely upon his science with the
gloves and stiffness on his feet. In
this way he held the title until Ruby
Bob Fitzimmons knocked him out and
gained the belt. Fitzsimmons was an
Englishman by birth, but went to New
Zealand when young and for this rea-
son is classed as a native son of the
Antipodes. He came to this country
in 1890 and Immediately went after
Corbett, the champ. Finally, when his
turn came he proved equal to the &C.
casion and succeeded Corbett as title
holder.
During the two years Fitz was champ
he swept everything before him. He
too, Hike John L., toured the country
and he fought all corners. Peter Ma

greatest fighters of his day, was put

as having said that "Fitz was the devil

simmons finally met more than his

from California.
