SPRING MEET
FOR JEFFERSON
New Orleans Race Officials
Will Run If Hot Springs
Fails.

New Orleans, Jan. L-Inclined 70
credit rumors coming from that town
that there will be no racing at Hot
Springs this coming spring. there have
been rumors here that Jefferson Psrk
may put on a brief spring meeting
following the close OF the regular Fair
Grounds session.
Hot Springs usually begins its meet
ing a short time after the close OF Tn.
Fair Grounds. but there seems TO be
considerable doubt as TO the Arkansas
gathering in 1913 and II Il does fall
through there will he a long period OF
idleness for the horses and horsemeh
before Latonia's spring meeting opens.
and il is this gap. or part Of IL, thar
some Of the Jefferson people are talk
ing OF filling in.
March is the ideal month for rae
ing in this climate" said one OF the
Jeterson directors, land ! am In favor
OF a short meeting at Jefferson during
that month. We haven't taken Up the
matter officially. but several Of us are
in favor OF it. We have had the tough
est kind Of luck during this month.
The weather has been even worse than
last year. when all the breaks went
against US and we were compelled 20
| lose two days OF our short schedule
| Our schedule is so short that when
we get in a spell OF bad weather We
have not time to recUperate, and 80
/ far racing at jefferson has been any
thing but a paying venture. Ny solu-
tion is to run for a week or two. no
more, in March, when the New Or
leans climate is at its very best"

PREAKNESS is
DERBY'S RIVAL
Pimlico Stake Increase IN
Value Has Made 1t as
Popular as Derby.

Now that the new year is here
racing men have begun to discuss the
probable candidates for the Ken
tucLy Derby, the first big event Of
the season. Although the Churchill
Downs classic. which is run in May,
comes at a most unreasonable time
for an important test over a dis
tance of ground. it probably IS the
most famous stake in the country.
Owners and trainers do not care to
take chances with their best horses
~ running them over the long dis
fnl - so early in the season. but the
n as of the Derby is so great that it
al .Fvs draws a good field. There is
" & ne slightest doubt that the fields
o'fl5 be better if the race were run
aslr in the year. but in that case the
Derby would lose Il great deal Of its
, prestige.
The Derby owes its prestige to the
fact that IL gets more advertising
than any other big turf event. ard il
gets that advertising simply because
IL is the FIRST important race DurinS
the dull winter months, while the
best horses are in retirement, turf
writers and racing enthusiasts have
llbl4llll- ~ lHtI ~ 10 tllFil ll~A sts.7 Tue
coming event. For months previous
10 its running the Derby furnishes Il
topic. and so it has become the best
advertised of all the stakes. There
arc better races later on in the sea-
son. but by that time there Is 50
much going on that no one race can
command undivided attention.
OF late years tn" Pimlico manage
meut has sought to place the Freak
ness Stakes on a par with the Ne0-
lucky Derby by Increasing the value
of the purse. and there is every pros
pect that before long the PreakneSs
will be first il importance. The
Derby is at a mile and a quarter.
while tho PrcaknesS is 1t mile and
an eighth. q strong point in favor OF
the latter event Su far aS the horse
men are concerned. as they have 81
little time TO prepare th"ir horses 10
go a distance.
Last yCaT the Prcakness attra cteu
60 many candidates that it was nrccs-
sary to divide it into two sections.
each having $1,000 i'm added money.
On the other hand the Derby Ir,w
a much smaller Held and the caIiber
Of the horses was not as great as was
the case i'm the Proakncss
lDlS year Inc iTgHkupSS VIII have
SEj.OCO in added money and will ne
worth close of E;Si.on0. making il the
richest stake run i'm this country. To
meet this increase the added money
for the Derby has been boosted con-
siderably. but its valu" Will be al -rost
5000 less than Inc Preakness.
As the PreakncsS and the Derby are
run within a few days Of each other.
hOrsemen may not care 10 try for
both events with the same horse. IN
TN last year the Prcakuess was not a
valuable enough attraction to MAXI
it worth while to Attempt the difficult
feat OF running a horse in the Derby
and them shipping him to Pim.,u
for another gueIliug struggle with
scarcely any time to recover from
the strain Of racing and travelling.
Now that both events are so vaIua-
BILE. however { may he that the win

When not fussing with football,
the British prisoners spent their

the Dutchmen in baking bouts. One
the Dutchmen in boxing bouts. One
huge Herr Placke. That mountain

BOXING IS DUE
SOME BIC BOOM
Public Interested in Battle
Between Gibbons and
Dempsey; Philly After
Bout.

Boxing matches on a scale un-
dreamed OF before the war. may
be one of the results of the world
war and its sudden ending. During
the war, at the front and in camp.
boxing has been the most popular
sport. With the return OF the SOL
diers, movements are on foot TO
legalize boxing in many States. 1t
is expected that the game will be
leEalized in at least three States
where IT is now barred.
A scrap with Mike Gibbons ami
Jack Dempsey the principals, is one
of the things that is likely to in
terest the public within a very
short time. Mike probably isn't so
enthusiastic about an early meet
ing with the demon" heavyweight
but he is thoroughly agreeable 20
a meeting and it doubtless Will be
held.
At present the Philadelphia pro-
moters are pulling for il, and a
weIl-knowp New Yorker also has his
hands outstretched. The Olympia
Club. Of Philadelphia. Is making a
strong bid 10 land the pair for g
meeting in February and has made
orers to both boxers. No reply
has yet been received from Gibbons.
Gibbons also is being made ready
for some bouts abroad. with Georges
Carpenter as the principal opponent.
Eddie Kane, manager for Gibbons,
prefers Paris as a meeting place FOR
the pair but also has received offers
from London sportsmen.

ment is gradually growing Tor I

MEADOWBROOK CLUB
NOT TO HOLD GAMES

Philadelphia, Jan. 4.-While the
local Meadowbrook Club intends to
conduct its annual carnival on March
Is it has as yet been unable to obtain
the use of the Commercial Coliseum,
which is still in the hands of the
government. The club is making every
effort to secure this building. as il IS
the only adequate place in this City
in which the games could be held.
However, decision has been
reached that should the Meadowbrook
Club fail to secure the Coliseum It
will abandon the idea OF conducting
the indoor rleet. In its stead it IS
planned to hold an outdoor carnival
on Franklin Field on a Saturday after
noon during the month of April.
