WHEN SPORT OF KINGS WAS lM
ITS DAY OF GLORY lM THE WEST

the nineties to those of the ~decaying
period of 1914, when the last race
meetings were held at Butte and
Anaconda. The horses that came
last to take the places of the grand
old strings of turf history were in
deed weaklfngs in comparison. Rae
ing died peacefully in Montana. 1t
made no pretense to beat the law-it
just faded into the has-been class,
there to rest in peace and to offer
memories to ~conjure with in dull mo-
ments, the dull moments that came
to the oldtimer as he sat upon the
rotting plank in front of the place
where once stood the great grand
stand.
Only F1eeting Thought
Across his memory flashed just
one thought of the attempt to revive
interest in the race track by bringing
a strong of automobiles to chase one
another around the oval. He let
that memory fade away.
The old rotting plank very likely
rested upon ground that had been
trampled under the feet of Ed Tip
ton, White Hat Mccarthy, Davy
Joe Woolman, Joe Davis,
Hugh K~irkendall, Ike Morehouse,
Jim Murray, Mel Lowry, all the big
of the local and eastern turf.
He sat as if he would rather sit there
and think of the good old days than
get up and go home to crab and
crouch the rest of the day.
Slowly he pulled himself up and
walked over to where the long bar
used to be and he imagined he lean
against it and talked to Jimmy
Johnson and Milt Spencer and Jack
.narheim and some of the good old
sports who never missed a race or
a crooked bunch. He commun-
I'd in silence and then braced him
'elf against an imaginary pillar and
Bob Wade come down tb
like a great army tank,
weeping everything before him, even
and things. He heard the
cheer and he saw the men
md women pile off the stands and
ush toward the street cars. He felt
n his pocket for a nickel, but it
there; so he walked back to
own and came pretty near going
nto the Montana hotel lobby to ask
low the overnight betting was pro-
eeding. He went home to rest in
reams.

The other day the old-time sport
ing reporter of Anaconda went out
to view the old Anaconda racetrack
where once the fastest horses in the
world gathered and raced, and his
mind wandered back to the days OF
real sport, and the thoughts he thunk
make a clever story.
The Old Reporter sat down on a
rotten plank that lay partly submerg-
ed in the dirt of the last 20 years. 1t
might have been a plank out of the
old betting ring, a ring that shelter
ed more red-blooded sports than
could have been found any other
place this side of Sheepshead Bay.
Not like the old days, when the finest
grandstand In the country drew pa
irons of the turf from every quarter
of the country-it vas just like the
present, dull, listless, commonplace.
1t was the right sort of setting for
an hour of silent "reminiscences.
In Those Old Days
Right out there In front he had
seen the cream of the bl%uo-ribbon
stable of the late Marcus DAILY, the
who put real horse racing ON
Montana's race rack map. He had
watched Scottish Chieftain as he can
tered majestically in front of the
granostand while the great crowds
cheered the aristocrat of the paddock.
He had seen Ogden, Tammany and
others of the famed Bitter Root farm.
One day, he recalled, there was a
in which Han dor came all the
way from Kentucky to measure
with some of the fleet ones
up Hamilton way. He had re-
jailed the entrance of Trappean and

Last week a 1~2-year-old boy, an
infant prodigy from Lodz, Poland.
played chess with all the best experts
of the game in Silver Bow and Deer
Lodge counties at the University club
at Butte and beat them all. AT one
time he had a dozen games going al
the same time with men who have
played chess for years, the child
moving from table to table and ma
king his moves after the briefest
glance at the boards. He lever was
in doubt for an instant, and he was
always right. His name is Samuel
Rzechewski.
To the players, several with gray
hair, it seemed uncanny to have a
little boy, clad in a blue sailor suit,
and with a treble, childish voice, OUT
playing them at every move. Little
Samuel has steady blue eyes and fair
skin. He is small for his age, and
his head is of the long type, bullying
slightly in the back. He is very
French in his manner. He purses his
lips to express doubt, lifts the cor
ners of his mouth, first n and then
the other, to express indifference, and
shrugs his shoulders In characteristic
fashion if in doubt concerning any
thing asked him.
Sammy, as ne likes to be called,
speaks English with a slight accent.
He has been learning only six months
and has as yet mastered only the sim
pie words.
