] BLAZING The
TRAIL

in about a decade which has lack
ed either a heavyweight champion
ship affair or a battle of "croocial"
proportions to keep fight fandom in
at least a mild Juror. The Demp-
sey r was full of fireworks while
it lasted, with big title shows in
1921, 1928, 1926, 1927. Tunney
came along to share the spotlight
in the last two and wind up his
caree by annihilating Tom Heeney
in 1923. In 1922, the build-up of
Luis Firpo was well under way. The
feature in 1924 was to have been
a Wills-D Dempsey battle. It never
materialized but Wills, then the
black menace, fought and beat
Firpo before a tremendous crowd
in Boyle's Thirty Acres. Nineteen
twenty-five saw Tunney on the way
up, knocking out Tom Gibbons ii
the feature affair.
There has been some concern in
a few places this season about
baseball attendance. st. Louis
and Cincinnati have not had the
patronage Of former years, for ex-
ample, and there is talk of the Ma
tional league franchise in one of
these places being transferred to
Detroit to make the motor metrop-
oils a two-club town.
This is for the magnates to de-
bate but when close to zoo, 1000 pile

he won from Mike McTigue in Oc-
tober of 1927. The big money lies
with the heavyweights and Tommy
is convinced he can more than hold
his own with any Of the curernt
crop in that division.
He has said that if he beats
Braddock he will fight again as a
light heavyweight in September and
then cast his lot definitely with the
heavyWeights. If he loses he said he
expects to take a vacation and see
what he can do in putting ON more
weight and adding a punch to his
fiStic repertoire SO that when *
meets the big fellows he will not
be u1der such a handicap.
Betting odds on the day before
the fight favor Loughran at z to 5
but an expected rush of Braddock
money may tighten the odds before
ring time.

BOY JOCKEY
TOPS FIELD
Paul Neal Rides 81 Win
ners During 20 Day
Meet

HICAGO, July 15.-(P-"Playine
Neal" has been the advice Of many
Chicago racing fans, who found
they could win money on the
mounts of Paul Neal, a 90-pound
apprentice - an exercise boy until
this year.
The 16-year-old, blue-tyed lad
booted his horse under the wire
first with such frequency at Wash
ington Park that the bettors play
ed Neal"
Neal rode 81 winners during the
% days Of the Washington Park
spring meeting. He had more than
125 horses lin the money" The
boy was tied with Elmo Shropshire,
an apprentice last year, for first
place. His success stamped him as
the turf's leading apprentice.
Neal takes the cheering with sur
priSing calmneSS. Like all other
riders, he wants to win the Ken
lucky or American derby.
On the last day Of the Washing
ton Park meeting, Neal rode three
winners. He also had a second and
third that day. In one streak he
had five straight winners, riding
the last three winners one day and
the first two on the following days
card.
Earl Sande, former king Of the
Jockeys, now an owner, called up
on Paul to win a purse for him On
the final day. Sande'S horses had
failed to win a race.
II need some Of your luck, Paul.
Sande remarked as he boosted the
little fellow into the saddle on Mi
lady. Bring her in for me-" Neal
did.
Paul is a free lance rider. His
cousin, Holt Neal, books him.
The boy began his turf life as
an exercise boy at Lincoln Fields
two years ago. He rode first at Tia
Juana early this year, and won his
first race on Foolscap, February 26.
He remains an apprentice with its
allowance Of five pounds until next
February-a year from the date of
his first winner.
Il always can tell when a horse
wants to rum" Neal said. Il like to
rate them off the pace and make
the move at the head of the stretch.
| find I have better luck talking
to them, and shaking them up with
my hands, than in using the whip
hard. If I find the horse is not up
to a winning move I don't punish
him. 1"
Neal now is riding at Arlington.
His home is at West Frankfort ri
and he didn't know much about
horses until he went to work as a
stable hand and then an exercise
boy.

On the Road to Truth

All opinions, properly so called,
are stages on the road to truth. 1t
does not follow that man will
travel any further; but if he has
really considered the world and
drawn a conclusion, he has trav-
eled as far. This does not apply
to formulae got by rOte, which are
stages on the road to nowhere but
second childhood and the grave. To
have a catchword in your mouth
is not the same thing as to hold
an opinion; still less is it the same
thing as to have made one for your
self. There are too many of these
catchwords in the world for peo-
pie to rap out upon you like an
oath and by way of argument. They
have a currency as intellectual
counters; and many respectable
people pay their way with nothing
else.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

Speaks at Annual Meeting We'd
nesday at Salisbury, Md.

Watson Webb, editor and pub
Usher of the Daily Banner, Cam
bridge, Nd, was elected president
of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association at its annual meeting
held at the Wicomico Hotel at Sal
isbury. Mr.. Webb was one of the
original organizers of the Del-Mar-
Va Association and has been one of
the most active members. He serv-
ed last year as senior vice-president
and in his election to the presidency
has rotated in regular form to
Maryland. Fred P. Adkins of Sal
isbury, Md, was the first president
from Maryland. Following his
term DR.. G. Layton Grier of Mil
ford, Del, filled the office and dur
ing the third year, which was con-
cluded with the meeting, Judge n.
B. Westcott of Onley, Va, served
as president. The gathering was in
the form of a combined luncheon
and business session and was ad-
dressed by two prominent speak
ers: J. S. Crutchfeld, president of

of Pittsburgh, Pa, who is an

authority on marketing of products
and Colonel Charles l. Stengle,
former Congressman of Brooklyn,
n. Y, and now of Washington.
Both are familiar with conditions
on the Pesinsula and also the work
of the association. Reports sub
mitted to the membership showed
desided progress during the past
year. The association has reduced
its departments so that during the
last II months they have served
principally through the publicity
and advertising department with
curtailed program in the traffic and
transportation department. In adj
dition to this, the marketing bureau
which for the latter quarter of 1923
was inactive, again began to func-
tion the first of this year with a
practical program on a modified
scale. Each of the departments
showed material results and the
marketing plan which was put into
operation on the first crop of the
season, broccoli, has made an i'm
pressive showing. 1t is now being
operated in connection with as
paragus shipments and is measur-
ing well up to its initial step. The
