DISTRICT COURT POSTPONED

The December term Of the Audi
bon county District Court which was
to have convened in this city Tues
day morning was postponed until
next Monday on account of the ill
ness of Judge Wheeler, who Is re-
covering from an illness at his home
in Council Bluffs. For a time 1t
was thought that the term would be
called of entirely on account of the
shortage Of coal, but the county Of
ficers at the court house have been
conserving coal the past ten days
by closing some of the offices and
doubling up, SO the supply ON hand
is adequate to meet the demand.
The grand jury will meet In ses-
sion on Monday as soon as they
receive their instructions from the
Judge and II there is as much BUSH
ness to transact as there was at the
last term, they will be in session
several days. The petit jurors
have not been summoned to appear
on a definite date. There are mat
tiers to be disposed of before jury
is needed and notices will be sent
them at the earliest possible mo-
ment
This will also be the time for APP
plicants to receive their naturaliza-
tion papers. Thirty-five have
made application and these will be
examined by a representative from
the government. There are a num-
Der seeking naturalization papers
who served in the war and they will
take their examinations under special
provisions which provides that they
can receive their papers without be-
ing required to live in this country
five years.
From all indications the December
term will be busy one. The Octo-
Der term was made short and much
work was carried over for 1t was
corn picking time and there were not
enough cases on the docket to war
rant the summoning OF jury.

The Field VS.. The Big Four

The dope of the day in golf matches
the field against the Big Four; such
men as KirkDy, Walker, Whitney, Jones,
Fownes, Anderson, Marston. Heron,
Sawyer, White, Rodenbach, etc, against
Evans, Ouimet, Travers and Gardner.
These last rour have taken care of the
last five championships. Travers won
in 1912 and 1918; Ouimet in 1914:
Gardner in 1915 and Evans in 1916.
The field at large will have a rough
assignment overthrowing all four, but
queerer things have happened in the
ancient Scottish game, especially if
the Big Four become entanglcd and
begin eliminating each other. Evans
end Gardner were the only two Big
Four representatives left in 1916 at
the last championship and they travelled

Gardner fell back. But they viii come

years ago, when Travers, Ouimet and
Evans were all dropped by the end of

furlongs. Jockey c. Robinson was
away rather poorly, but raced up on
the rail to third position and waited
behind the pacemakers to the stretch
turn, where he sneaked through on the
rail- and won in romp. Vida had the
mount on Smite, which was also PLAYED
heavily, and simply tossed off the VIC
7 tory by wide turn that let Bullseye
through. Bullseye was bid up by Make
Hlrsh, but protected by the owner for
$2,505.
Jockey E. Sande, who was set down
for sixty days for "rowdyism" in a race
at Latonia,. signalized his return to
grace by riding Commander J. K L.
Ross's three-year-old brown colt. War

This was six furlong affair for three
year-olds and upward. War Pennant,
winch had not been out in long time,
was practically disregarded in the bet
ting and scared as high as Is to /.
Harry Payne Whitney's Dominant,
which stopped badly after six furlongs
opened l to favorite. Such a great
play was made on Haitian, however,
that the favorite went to to at post
time.
Ambrose Asleep on Favorite
war Pennant ran an excellent race
for Sande, who waited to the stretch
turn in company with Haitian. The
latter had all he could do in the early
stages to shake off Bully Boy and
pulled his cork in the attempt Am
brose, who rode the favorite, put up
quite as sloppy a ride as the one he
showed with Wildair on opening day.
He simply sat still on the pacemaker
and made no move till War Pennant,
which came to the inside of Haitian,
had almost got up inside the eighth
pole.
Northwood another outsider, won
the steeplechase at about two miles,
with Crest Hill, the favorite, second
and Robin Goodfellow third. Hanna
made the pace and led practically all
the way. Crest Hill weakened in the
pinch. Kingstown Pier held contend
ing position to the jump in front Of the
clubhouse second time around, where
he hit heavily and stumbled badly.

Whitney's Leviathan, was badly ina

A n OLD engraving, dating back to
IA early in the last century, is
pretty good proof that the art of
pugilism has undergone no little re-
finement since it's first beginning.
This old picture, from plate en-
grayed by l. Grocer. appeared in
"Bovaina'' about 1912. The scene
is the battle fought January 9, 1888,
at Oldham, Lancashire, Eng, be-
tween Daniel Mendoza, Spanish
champion and father of scientific
boxing, and Richard HUMPHREYS.
HUMPHREYS won the pictured bout
in twenty-eight minutes, but two
years later he was "beaten into
submission" in fifteen minutes by
the victorious Spaniard.
There were no padded gloves in
those days of realistic pugilism.
Bare and bone-hard knuckIes fell
upon unguarded jaw and protrud-
ing nose without semblance of
of apology. Punishment was ter
rife and recovery proportionately
painful.
Since those days pugilism has un-
dergone many changes. 1t has be-
come much more of a cold science.

Huntington has always played guard,

Record Entry Expected
For Trapshooting Title

With 698 trapshooters already en-
tered and stragglers coming along in
each mail, Secretary Stoney McLinn
of the American Trapshooting Associa-
ton, announced last night that the
Grand American Handicap, to be held
in Chicago on August 10, would be a
record breaker from the point of the
number of contestants.
1t is practically assured that field
of 900 or more will start in the annual
clay target shooting classic. These
.trapshooters will represent ever state
in the Union and Canada. There will
be number of women, two men eighty
years of age, two boys under twelve
and at least a score of soldiers and
sailors.

Other New York Entries

Other New York entries to be con-
sidered include John G. Anderson, twice
runner-up in previous championships;
Max Marston, who eliminated Jerry
Iravers and carried Bob Gardner to
the thirty seventh hole at Detroit; Ned
Sawyer, exWestern champion, and
Gardiner White.
These are men all sure to qualify
and dangerous in any one match.
Either one of the four is likely to
turn in 72 or a 70 at any stage of
the tournament, for all are tournament
veterans, rarely afflicted with any at
tack Of nerves
Anderson, for example, carried Chick
Evans TO the thirty-seventh hole in
the French Amateur Championship and
a year later, at Garden City, dropped
the Chicago star by a margin of 3
and 2.

Great Golf to Win

The present indications are that it
will take finer golf to win this next
Amateur Championship than any previ-
Gus event has known
In addition to the stars summarized
and exploited up to date, there are
many others who may kick in with an
upset any day of the meeting. Two
of these are w. c. Fownes and Dave
Heron. Both are Pittsburgh entries
and both know the Oakmont course
to turn. Fownes won the champion
ship at Brookline in 1910 and came
within an eyelash of beating Ouimet
at Ekwanok in 1914 when he was / up
and to play in the semi-hnal round.

CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS
No. 6-Kirkby and Walker

The Metropolitan district, which en-
braces over 100 golf courses around
New York City, has gathered in five
amateur championships through Walter
j. Travis and Jerome D. Travers.
But for 1919 Travis will be missing
and Travers will be an unknown guam
tity through his four-year absence from
championship play.
Among those to be considered at
Oakmont, representing the Big Town
or it's environs. are Oswald Kirkby.
Lucien Walker. Max Marston, Gardiner
White, John G. Anderson and Ned
Sawyer.
From this list the pair that have
shown better golf display since last
spring than any others, are Kirkby and
Walker.

Kirkby's Chance

Oswald Kirkby, the lanky Jerseyman,
has become the Metropolitan successor
to Jerry Travers.
Kirkby has won three out of the
last four Metropolitan Championships,
which is proof enough of his superior
ity.
Kirkby is slashing hitter from the
tee, steady iron player, who is able
to get fine distance with any club he
needs, exceedingly good at the chip
shot and at least an average putter.
If his game ever comes upon an
erratc tendency, it is around the greens.
For some particular reason he has
never reached his game in an Amateur
Champ ionship. In 1913 he failed to
qualify at Garden City. In 1914 he
again failed to qualify at Ekwanok.
In 1916 he. qualified and played we'll
at Merton but was finally dropped by
Gardiner White. He should be due
this year to 60 far before he is finally
stopped, for he has game that leaves
him with the ranking stars.

Team Defeated by

of Horace E. Havemeyer
J. Cheever Cowdih, purchased Lady
Buzz and Red for $4,000 and Louis E.

$1,000.
Devereux Milburn had a leg up on
two former international mounts
Jacon and Tenby, and all the other
players had loads of mounts in adj
dition to their own strings of high
class thoroughbreds. The scene around
both stabling paddocks resembled a for
mer international.
