Jockey Ivan Parke on Sensational Winning Rampage at New Orleans Track

LITTLE WIZARD PILOTS FIVE MOUNTS IN FRONT Odds Go Lower and Lower as Public Rides Along and Bookies Scheme to Stand Gaff.

Feats of Jockey Parke Record Yesterday First Race—Reel Foot, second. Second Race—Bessie "Wright, won. 9 to 10. Third Race —Antonia, won, 2 to 6. Fourth Race —Super, won, 3 to 5. Fifth Race —Sewell Combs, won, 7 to 10. Sixth Race —Grass Tree, won, 5 to 2. Last week Jockey Ivan Park e rode eight winners in seventeen mounts. Monday of this week he rode in four races, winning two. Tuesday of- this week he rode in six races, winning three. Wednesday of this week he rode in six races, winning five. His average at New Orleans is more than 50 per cent winnenrs. So far at the Jefferson meet he has won eighteen races out of thirty-three in which he has ridden.

By United Financial NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 6. —The wizard Ivan Parke lias thrown the fear of bankruptcy into the hearts of the irreverent bookies who depend for patronage on the New Orleans racegoers and for their profits on the inability of John Public to pick ’em right at the Jefferson Park course.

Ever since Parke began riding on the opening day, the odds against his mounts have been dwindling. Good horses or bad, they all look alike to “Ivan.” and he has the ability of the natural rider to get the best out of every mount he tries. For the second time in a few months, Parke rode five winners in a single day’s program of racing when he turned the trick Wednesday. He also became the champion rider of the American turf for the season of 1923, although still an apprentice rider with two months yet to serve. More than that, the public and the bookies know that he is. in racing parlance, a square-shooter who is always up there to bring his mounts home in front or as near the front as he is able. Consequently the public has been backing his mounts into the ground, and Wednesday odds were laughable.

PROMOTERS PLAN NEW SCHEME FOR BOOSTING FIRPO Wills Again Eliminated and Godfrey Chosen ‘Whoopup’ Trial Horse, By HENRY FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Plans for a Firpo-Wills fight as the grand “whoopup” for a return bout between Jack Dempsey and the big Argentinian, practically have been abandoned. Wills declined to consider terms for a Firpo bout until he has had a chance with Dempsey and he still believes that he will get the fight if he waits long enough. How Wills Explains Wills asserts Firpo wouldn’t consider a fight with him until the South American had met the champion and even after that he named impossible terms. Promoters now are working on George Godfrey', the big colored boy | from Philadelphia, as a good card for | a fight with Firpo. If necessary, GodI frey might be sent to South America. Godfrey worked as Dempsey’s sparring partner at Great Falls when the champion was preparing for the Gibbons fight, and later at YVhite Sul- • phur Springs, when Dempsey was getj ting ready for the Firpo bout. Fulton Bout Planned ! It is understood Godfrey has been I matched to meet Fred Fulton, Dec. 117, and if Fulton does his customary j stuff. Godfrey will be handed another dropper and then he will be steamed up for Firpo. Godfrey is managed by Jimmy Daugherty, a close friend of Jack j Kearns and Dempsey.

THURSDAY, DEC. 6, 1923

During that time five Em-Roe players had been running around the big Tomlinson Hall floor in rather aimless fashion pursuing and being pursued by five Butler players, who likewise were here and there and everywhere with apparently no set purpose. Wailie Middlesworth and Griggs tried a couple of “forward passes” that were unsuccessful. If It hadn’t been for Hooker the Butler score might have resembled the German treasury’s assets. During the course of the pastime Hooker had occasion to drop in something like seventeen of the twentyfive points. In fact, at times he and Cat Adams of the Em-Roes looked like the only basketball players on the floor. But the good crowd got Its money’s worth in the second half. Both teams got together and the Em-Roes started out fast. The final period was played on even terms after the sporting goods five once had brought the count up to 11 to 12. The last ten minutes were hard fought. Wailie Middlesworth, in his first net game this year, finally got going and gave the Butlerites the necessary zip to pull out a victory. With the score tied at 21 to 21, Griggs got his only basket of the game. Behrent fouled and Hooker tossed in both free throws. And the contest was won. After taking the first half to get together the Em-Roes showed a fairly good brand of ball in the last period. They have some good netters.
