Geers Starred in ''Old Days.;
Shines AGAINST Present Stars
By NORMAN y. BROWN.

Comparison OF the stars of today
in different branches of sport with
the heroes of yesterday always fur
nishes food for lively discussions.
I'D like. to see So-and-So stack up
against the regular guys OF today"
somebody'll finally remark.
Followers of tho lipht harness rac-
ing game get the thrill. For Pop
Geers, wonder trainer and driver
his skill against the present genera
ton of drivers, and Gcers is more
than holding his own. He makes
you give a second thought to the old
saying, '"Those were the days.
Geers has just celebrated his seveo-
ty-first birthday. And fourty-four
summers of those seventy-one years
have been spent racing horses. He
was an experienced driver when
fathers Of present day athletes in any
branch Of sport were young and
handsome" Why. the old boys We're
wondering which year would be Pops
last when the young drivers of today
We're roddling about their fathers
barns in short pants.
Now. rs the early training season
approaches, Geers says. Il never felt
better in my life S
Pop has driven more winners and
ridden before more people than any
other man in the sport. He has, won
over $1,0O0,O00 in purses for himself
and his employers. In addition to the
income from these purses Geers
probably has made another fortune
in salaries and profitable investments.
The grand old man" was chris
tened Edward Franklin Geers when
he was born. January 25, 1851. His
birthplace was a small farm at Le-
banun, Tenn. He has remained loyal
to that state and through his quiet
disposition has earned the' sobriquet
Of 1.-The silent man from Tennessee.
It is told of Pops boyhood that he
found his first thrill as race driver
behind a dash:ng pair of William
goats. While still in his teens he be-
gan appearing at the half-mile tracks
around Tennessee at county fairs.
His first real race was won when he
was twenty. Pop drove Little Dave
to victory atsLebanon in 1904.
Ceer's career as a Grand Circuit
driver began with the birth of that
organization. That was in 1877.
Pop was then twenty-six.
Since then Geers has hung up many
interesting and unique records. Prob
ably the most unusual of these was
the mark Of 2:14 he set in 189a while
driving three horses abreast, hitched
to a light wheeled wagon. The
three horses were Belle Hamlin, Globe
and Justina.
Geers is also credited with holding
