Thirty years have elapsed since Star Pointer, the first 811E911 marvel, started the two minute list of ligllt harness performers. The twmty-fourtb name was added to that select group when Mcrrtmnn won a heat in two minutes at the recent ‘Folcdu Grand Circuit meet lng. Over 39,000 trotters appear in tho 2:30 list. Over 30.000 pacers" have made records of 2:25 t or better. 0f that grand total of 09.000 horses only seven trotters und seventeen ilncers placed their names ill the two minute list.‘

Star Pointer started this list at lteudville in 1897. At the Grand Circuit meeting that year Dave McClary drove him in 125914. The next addition to the list was also made at ijcadviiie in 1903 when Lou Dillon. trotted the first mile in two minutes. Later in the season Millard Sanders reduced her rccord to 1:581‘; ‘at Mempltis. Alta McDonald added another name t9 tllc list at the Memphis meeting when he drove Major Delmar in- 115906. ’l‘llc saute year was also made memorable by l'rillce Alcrt [lacing lieiltlont Pttrk, Philadelphia,

Wills had challenged them often anti pt-rsistorltly. He has culled "m" "t"! bluff. Do you recall last winter when Jack Renault, defeat- “1 F101"! Johnson, bowled from the llousetops his willingness to meet

tho Tar llaby.

That Wills's turning of the table! on Llttlgiortl was due more to his own progress tilitll to Longfortfs rctrograsslon, is shown by the fact that Wills turned title on J06 Jeanette and Salli McVey in a like manner.

Wills undoubtedly was a greater fighter than Jeanette or McVcY and as great a fighter as Langford. Which of the. two ‘at his best fiillll‘ lug edge was the greater always will be a nlutier of conjecture- \v1ll!f\ Litngforti wlilurvtl Wills.

Even the Record Hook, which! fails to chronicle the why and wherefore of Wills’ failure to meat some oi‘ tllo men beaten by DUMP psey, shows that despite all buildi- cups, drawbacks and iujustlce,' Harry Wills has beaten more and better men than has Jack Deni- psey. if Dempsey was a real pioll, be long since would given iiurry Wills his chance. Public opinion was the fact that the astute Jack Kearns, illanagcr of Dempsey, believes idleness, lack of conlpetition and Nature itself had slapped Wills‘ fighting powers, appears to be bringing about a meeting between Dempsey and his dusky Nellie-sis. Wills may be beaten, bllt he at last will receive his chance. it is up to all of us who believe in fair play and sportsmanship to see that he gets that chance. if the squared circle will ilot square itself, nlaybe some of us can luuke it.
