GRAND CIRCUIT
GETS UNDER WAY
WITH FINE RACES
Close Finishes, Record Smashing and
Big Crowds Mark Open
ing Week.

North Randall, Cleveland, July s. -
The Grand Circuit harness horse-racing
season of 1921 was inaugurated at North
Randall this week, under the most auspic-
ious conditions. Close finishes, fast time
and one of the largest hrst-day crowds
marked the opening.
3 One track record went by the boards
In winning the Edward stake for 2 :O8
PAGERS, the feature event on the card,
Prince Loree, the double gated cham
ZION of the world, paced the second heat
in ? :O2 "a, half a minute faster than
the previous record for the stake estab-
lished by ''the game OF chance" in 1913,
the last quarter was covered in so IL
seconds, full second faster than the
first.
The winner is owned by Captain David
Shaw and was driven by Mike McDe-
witt He is the first Cleveland owned
horse ever to win the stake, which had
value of $4,000.
Prince Loree had to overcome a big
lead to take the first heat. He got off
to bad star and trailed to the first
turn. There he bagan passing his field
one by one, winning in TIE home stretch
by { good margin. He was the favorite
III the DetlnlS.
In the second heat McDevitt let Fred
'Edrnan set the pace with Ruth Patch and
then passed him in the stretch turn.
The Union Trotting Association rules
were put into effect here. AS a result
after Utah and Prince Ioree had won
their race in straight heats they were
ruled out of the third heats.
Dick Mcmahon was the first driver to
draw a penalty. He was fined one hun.
dred dollars for laying up with Great
Excitement" in the first heat of the 2 :22
class trot, first division.
Bessie Worthy went lame scoring for
the third heat of the 2 ~ class trotting,
second division, and, after finishing third
in the second mile, was drawn.
Jay Brook took first money in the 2 :O4
pace, unfinished, by winning the first two
heats.

Carpenter Makes Game
Attempt to Wrest
Title Before $4,000
Fans but Is Clearly
OutclaSSed.

The big fight is all over and Jack
Dempsey, the American is still cham
pion of the world in the heavyweight
class. More than $1,000 persons saw
the fight and though it lasted less
than four rounds everyone seemed
satisfied inasmuch as they were we'll
entertained by a number of minor
bouts that furnished action through
out. Tex Richard, the promoter Of
the match, again proved himself a
wizard of management for not a
single incident occurred to mar the
fight from start to finish land when
the $3.50 seats ran out in the rush
70 rthem Richard made good to those
nearby by putting the left over $50
cardboards at the low price Several
scene of the fray benefited by this
act and had choice places near the
ring while others who went the day
before were away up in the clouds.
Richard reiterated his intention of
or more championship bouts between
now and the first of November. He
said that he had no definite idea re-
garding the contests which he would
put on, but was considering several
bouts likely to prove successful ven
lures. The splendid showing made by
Carpenter against Dempsey has al
ready resulted in talk of other bouts
for the French pugilist, the most at
tractive of which is a proposed match
between Carpenter and Tom Gibbons
of ST Paul. Richard said he thought
such a match would be an excellent
drawing card in view of the fact that
the boxers were about equally match
ed in both skill and physique.
Dempsey is also likely to re-enter
the arena in Jersey City on either
Labor Day, September S, or Column
bus Day, October II. While Richard
refused to state definitely the cham
pion's opponent, it is believed that the
choice lies between Bill Brennan and
Jess Willard. Richard has intimated
that he is favorably inclined toward
the Dempsey-Willard match, pro-
vided the former champion would
agree, under forfeit, to put himself
in proper condition for a pugilistic
Comeback" Willard, in prime ply
steal trim, is generally considered the
only heavyweight boxer who would
extend Dempsey to the limit.
Betting men estimate that about
$3.50, 900 was wagered on the contest

DEMPSEY QUIETLY
LEAVES new YORK
Gets Away From Trouble by Jumping
Train for Home

New York, July Slack Dempsey,
worlds heavyweight boxing cham
pion, quietly left his hotel here late
Tuesday and short time later was
aboard a train bound for Salt Lake
City, Utah. He was accompanied by
Teddy Hayes, his trained, and Detec-
tive Sergeant Mike Trant, Chicago,
who has been the champions body
guard and constant companion since
he began training for the bout with
Georges Carpenter at Jersey City last
Saturday. Jack Kearns, Dempsey's
manager, did not accompany the
party.
Trouble shot from two directions
toward the champion during the day
His valuable limousine was seized by
a deputy sheriff acting on a writ is
sued last Friday in Batavia, N. Y,
in a 100000 suit brought by Frank
Spellman in connection with a mo-
ton picture enterprise. In Jersey City
counse flor the International Reform
Bureau endeavored to have him hailed
int ocourt on a complaint charging
him with assaulting Carpenter.

RIGLER SAYS EMSLIE
is RULE BOOK WIZARD

Bob Emslie, dean of the Ma
tional league umpires, knows the
rulebook better than the fellows
who made it, according to Cy
Rigier. He says:
Bob knows as much about
the rules as all the rest Of the
National league umpires put to-
gether. 1t Is a mystery to me
that he wasn't consulted last
winter, when they were making
changes. After the commission
had made the changes, Heydler
asked Emslie for his opinion.
Bob told him that tive of the
new rules were bad-the dead
ball rule and the one which re-
qufres the umpire to judge
whether a home run Is fair or
foul from where it passes out
Of sight. These are the only
two rules that have been done
away with, so far"

HOW BRICK OWENS GOT
HIS PECULIAR MONICKER

Few of the thousands Of fans
in baseball who have seen or
heard Of Brick" Owens, Amer
lean league umpire, know that
he acquired his monicker when
he was nineteen years old.
Neither do they know how he
acquired it, although many Of
them may guess right.
1t all happened back in indie
pendence, Kan, when Owens
was umpfring in the old West
ern association. Brick" has
umpired since he was about able
to toddle, and he made his de-
cisions as fearlessly against his
home town team as he makes
decisions now.
In one Of those tough decis-
ions Independence got the worst
end Of the deal and an angered
fan hurled a piece Of red mas
onry, which struck Owens in the
head. Owens, unfazed, went on
running the game, but the man
who hurled the brick also
hurled at him cognomen
which has had its lasting i'm
print on the world of baseball.
