LUCULLITE IS
 WINNER IN BIG BELMONT EVENT

New York, Sept. 1O.---Great is Lu- cullite among thoroughbreds. Going back for 20 years or more, it is hard to pick out one who ever rose to greater heights than the son of Trap ROck---Lucky Lass did yesterday at Belmont Park, when he picked up 130 pounds and ran the mile in the fast time of 1:35 3-5.
 He did more than run in time which equallGd the track record established by Major August Belmonts Strombou under IF pounds in 1914 He beat such good horses as Star Master. to which he was conceding ten pounds; Naturalist, which up to that race had suffered only two defeats this year, and Enfilade, which has proved her quality to say nothing of her speed, on more than one occasion.
 His manner of winning too was i'm presIYe. After racing head-and-head with Enfilade and Naturalist for a quarter of 0 mile, he drew clear and. forcing all his own pace, even under the excessive sburden of 13O pounds. won ridden out by a scant two lengths from Star Master, which, after a.void- Ing all the early pace, closed strongly through the last furlong
 It was striking performance from whatever angle viewed and settled beyond question his right and title to a place among the best horses ever pred and developed in this country.

FREDDIE DYER
 SAYS YANKEES
 DODGING BOUTS

New York. September 1O-It is far easier to lind nutoCracy in boxing circles than it Is in the well known dictionary. Freddie Dyer af Australia. who has whipped the well tcrweights of three countries, finds it absolutely impossible Go md a man worthy of his mcJtlC in Inc select circles Co fight him, although he has dinned his challenges ou the ears of Jack Britton and Tod Lewis until he is hoarse.
 Those who hold the password to the inner circle Of The boxing mas Sers absolutely refuse Co talk busi- ness with this flashuke fighting box CT from the autpodes. Jack Britton is either deaf or he fears the issue of a match. Ted Lewis h0s turned tail on one or more occasions with Dyer. Yet these men put on their little brother act and rake in the coin Of the realm. Boxing fans have long clamored for new forms and new faces in the rinE. Well here is new form and new face and a chance for any wel-erweight in the world who thinks he can fight.
 Dyer has defeated three champions He whipped Johnny Basham before that dashinz little Briton won the title in England Basham has been strangely hard of hearing since that time. He whipped the Irish welter- weight cham pion, cleaned up fighters of all sizes and weights in South Afri- ca and held forth against the best in Australia.
 Dyer Is proud of his record in the ring but in the early days of the war when Britain expected every man to do his duty Freddie laid aside his gloves and took up the bayonet He was honorably discharged from ser vice in the British army and also from the armed forces of his Uncle Sam. Then he became boxin@ instructor in one of the camps. He turned out and handled nearly 12 per cent of the fighting forces of the country in the camps and was one of the most popu- lar instructors in the service.
 Dyer is proud of his military rec ord; prouder of it than he is of the boxing success he has achieved. He said today "A toff could be a fighter fin the ring, but 1t took a man to be ~ soldier"
 Dyer is no stranger in Am erican rings. which is one Of the reasons the boys won't fight him, perhaps. He has fought 1n;dGleweights as well as the men in his own class. George Asche, tine Philadelphia middleweight: Bob McAllistcr. who fought Jack Demp- ssy. and some of those other big fel- lows were matched with Dyer. One look at Dyer and one would know that he is scrapper. He just slashes along nIerrily, too merrily, for these fellows who are doing a brother act and getting away with f..
 Win Fight Any Time.
 Any weitsrweight in the world car grab off some of Dyer's game when ever he wants it. He is working hard every day at George Bothner's gym rasiuIn, acting as boxing instructor flor tho time being, and h0 has won

came really loEey. and this year Fa- bCr has not been anywhere near the finger he was of yorc. CiCOtte, VII Iams and even Kerr, 8 clever second string sou-hpaw, are all rated above him.
 It goes without saying that Urban Fabcr is not himself And yet Faber may prove 8 surprise in action against the Cincinnati Reds. He is still hardly 26 years O. age anu should be !n his prime.
 Manager Gleason has given him world of rest. and though his arm may have been very sore he has had every opportunity 70 get it into shape. Now that the White Sox seem to have the pennanc clinched Glea- son will surely give Faber the re- mainder of the campaign to round into form. and it may be that he will come through next month and sur prise the baseball world again. But this is only a possibility.
 To date Faber has won 10 games and lost nine. His pitching average is just .526-
 Ring. who is a trifle younger than Faber. has not made quite as many starts as the Chicago spitban finger This fz because the fine pitching array that Manager Moran can call upon makes if necessary for Ring to work not oftener than once in about five days.
 Ring is a big fellow. heavier than Faher- with great speed and an ef- fecrive spithaU. L0rG ago. when working in the New England league. he gave such promise that experts declared it was only a question of time before he would make good in the big show.
 Ring has won 10 games and los- but six. and his pitching average shows the mark of 1925. He may ap- pear in the coming series oftencr and to greater advautage than Faber.

JACK DEMPSEYS SHOW PROVES
 FROST ON ROAD

New York. Sept. 1O.-The show with which Jack Dempsey does not seem to be much of a success, and The men who contracted to give the Toledo Terror that S15.O0O a week have to keep digging That's the record 70 date. but since the actor strike is over and the champion is in eastern territory now, he may be- gin doiu- something.
 It isn't that Jack is not popular that the houses do not fill up, but simply because the show people have been asking too much for the priv ie-e of looking on the man who whipped Willard. Popular prices are what is demanded when a fight CT is he attraction. or it's a loss for those behind A fighters place Is in the ring. and not behind the foot lights acting the part of comedians, tra gedians, or anything else.
 Dempsey is well thought of where ever he goes-even in St. Louis. where the town. as far as the show was concerned. froze on him. On the street he was always followed and cheered and many times is the cause of blocking the traffic.
 Jack should take on one of the fights he has been offered. particu- larly that one with Willie Meehan, in New Jersey Dempsey regards Willie as a joke. but what should he care if the public thinks Willie can give the champion guarantee for the bout? Dempsey may keep in shape by fight ing once in a while and will be ready for a first class challenger when he comes along. which time isn't so far off either

PATSY CLINE MEETS LEW TENDLER TONIGHT
 IN RING AT PHILA

New York, Sept. 1O.-Irish Patsy Cline. the local lightweight, will train his artillery in the general directory of Lew Tender. whom PhnadeIphia connoisseurs of things pugilistic have been duhbing the Legitimate light weight champion" in the wind-up of Phil Glassman's all-star fstic whirl t Shibe Park, Philadelphia, this even ing.
 This will be the third meeting of the two lightweiGhts within the four cornered circle. Two years ago they mingled for six rounds in PhiIIy. while a few months later they toured the eight-session route in Atlantic City. of course the first bout, being in his home lot, Tendler won He always wins in Philadelphia The only way an "outsider" can trim him there is to knock him out. And even then said "outsider' can't win. Ask Willie Jackson. The Atlantic City imbroslio, according to the more or less reliable dope, was a fifty-ffty split.
 Joe Lynch. the crack west slider who trimmed Champion Pete Her man Labor Day, and Joe Burman, the Chicago knocker-out, will furnish the action in what has been termed "an elimination contest"
 Lynch and Burns are the two best bantams in the universe today, now that Frankie Burns has vacated the 116-pounG ranks for Johnny Xii bane's division, and, as both pack an old Crew Kick (apologies to the anti saloonatics), a possible knockout may terminate the fracas before it's sched- uled limit.

RING OF REDS BETTER
 PITCHER THAN RED FABER
White SOx Veteran Has Gone Back Since His Ser vice in ArIny-Rng Is Regarded by Experts
 As Likely to Shine in Series.

Boston, Sept. 10. - Two twirIers who are very likely to be seen in the big series at some time or other, though may never start, are Jack RiuC, the clever spit-balIer of the Cincinnati Reds and Urban Fabcr. Neither. according to this seasons figures.

 Two years ago at this time were the same teams to have met in the clash for the supreme title and the same twirlers booked to figure, Ur- ban Fabor would have been easily considered the class of the two pitch ing stans, although Eddie Cicotte was then travelling along in his usual brilliant style.

license. Ducks seem to be numerous this year, and vacationists returning from the northern shores and lakes tell of seeing large flocks in those re- gions. With the advent of cold weather they will migrate to the waters of Long Island Sound and along the southern Atlantic seaboard, stopping enroute in some of the larger ponds of the state for food and rest.
 Reports from throughout the state are to the effect that all game is more plentiful this year than for some time. The mild, open winter of last year is conceded to be the prime cause, as there was no deep snows or severe cold weather, nature being unusually kind to the wild life Many have ad- vanced the belief that, as so many of the young men went into the nations service during the past two years, there were fewer hunters roaming the hillsides, and that this has caused the noticeable increase in birds and mammals.

ETERNAL. WINNER OF BROOKLYN HANDICAP,
 THROUGH FOR YEAR

Lexington. Ky, Sept. 1O.-J. ". McClelland's Eternal. winner Of the Brooklyn handicap, and regarded as the most formidable of the eigables to the rich Latonia Championship stakes. will not race any more this year. The crack son of Sweep and Hazel Burke. together with nine other horses belonging to McCel!and has arrived at the local track Of the Kentucky Jockey Club in charge of Will Wallace, who had charge of the horses at the Saratoga meeting.
 Eternal will be transferred to Zala- pa Place. Bourbon County, to be turned out until next spring. It was learned upon his arrival here that Eternal had struck himself in his last workout at Saratoga, infiicting a slight injury to his left foreleg. Al though the injury is not serious, trainer Jim Patterson believed it best to throw the crack colt out of train mg.
 Owing to illness the McCelland youngsters were not raced at the To- cal meeting last spring; neither did they start at Saratoga where they had been sent to recuperate. They are now fully recovered and will be en- tered extensively in the Kentucky fall races.

man from the Seventh Congressional
District, living at Marshall, Saline
county, as the next Democratic State
Senator from that portion of Missou-
ri, which, besides Saline and Pettis
counties, also includes Benton and
Henry counties.
Political gossip to the effect that
Richard X. Correll who, until recent
ly, was editor of the Chronicle, of
Clark, and who represented Randolph
county in the House during the 1917
State industrial inspector, would make
the race for the nomination for Sec
rotary of State in opposition to John
l.. Sullivan, the present incumbent,
received body blow when that North
Missouri Democratic newspaper man
stated he had no such aspirations at
the present. What he might do if the
field was entirely open in his Senator
ial District, he said, was to make the
race for State Senator, but even this
constituted proposition that he would
pass on next spring when it became
positively known who would be can

nouncement that he was an avowed
candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
Since then he has not openly stated
that he has changed his mind, and,
therefore, his friends are of the opin-
ion he is in the race to stay. The
friends of Senator Goodson endeav-
ored to urge him to publicly proclaim
he would get into the race but he de-
cided to wait until the campaign
warmed up before positively making
known his intentions,
Edward c. Orr, who represented Liv-
ingston county in the Forty-Seventh
General Assembly, in attendance at
the conference representing his por-
ton of Missouri, quickly put an end to
movement of frinds to boom him
for Lieutenant Governor by emphat-
ically declaring he was not a candi-
date.

Pettis county, Democratic floor lead
err Of the Senate during the recent ses-
sion, who week ago gave his friends
the privilege of boosting and booming
him for Attorney General by agreeing
to enter the race for that nomination,
made the assertion at the close of the
day that he felt like winner. Be-
fore returning to Sedalia he gave out
a statement that he had talked with
nearly every Democrat in attendance
at the conference and the hearty and
enthusiastic support rendered him
was assurance that he had made no
mistake when he agreed to run for
the Attorney General nomination.

Mitchell, banker Of Centralia, Boone
county, who lives in Columbia. He
was State Bank Commissioner dur
ing the four years of Governor Eli
oft W. Majors administration.
1t was also the general opinion of
those who were present at the Demo-
cratic conference that the two law
yers Governor Gardner is to appoint
to fill the two existing vacancies on
the Supreme Court bench, one arising
through the death of Judge Henry w.
Bond, and the other through the res
ignation Of Judge Charles B. Faris to
become Judge of the United States
Court for the Eastern District Of
Missouri, ought not to have opposi-
ton for these nominations at the Au-
gust primary, since both would sac
rfice their own present and future
1920 legal practices and thereby suf-
fer heavy financial losses through ac-
cepting the conferred honor which ex-
tends only over period of fourteen
months and few days or until the
close of next year.
The opinion was also freely ex-
pressed that Supreme Court Judge
Fred L. Williams, whose home is in
Joplin, Mo-, ought to be rendered the
denomination at the August primary
without opposition since he was elect
ed in 1916 for a term of only four
years to fill vacancy caused by the
death of Judge John C. Brown. The
exceptional record Judge Williams
has made for himself during the four
months he has been a member of the
Missouri Supreme Court, it was ex-
pressed, would make him formidable
