Tuesday, July 4, 1972 The Lincoln Star 17 'reyftoiirac? A Petition ailed Off By Hal Brown By PAT KOZA United Press International The Nebraska Greyhound Breeders Association admitted Monday it has failed in its petition drive to get a constitutional amendment authorizing parimutuel dog racing In Nebraska on the November ballot. "We just didn't get moving soon enough," association secretary Merle Bussard of Lincoln explained. "We called it off Sunday, but we are gathering the petitions that are still out." The drive was one of two statewide efforts to space special issues before Nebraska voters in November. Democratic officials sponsoring an initiative drive on the issue of eliminating sales taxes on food items are now predicting their effort will be successful. Friday at 5 p.m.

is the deadline to have all signatures in the secretary of state's office. Bussard estimated when all bis group's forms are gathered, 35,000 signatures will have been obtained far short of the 46,162 needed to get the question on the ballot. State law provides the signatures must exceed 10 per cent of the 1970 gubernatorial vote to put constitutional questions before the people. The association secretary said his group had no trouble meeting the distribution requirement providing that signatures in each of at least 36 counties total at least five per cent of the last gubernatorial vote. "We actually got 43 counties," he said.

"But we were holding off on getting the bulk signatures until we hit the 38-county requirement. Then we started moving but we moved too late. "We had no problems getting signers. Our problems were in getting lo the people," he said. "I think we've learned a good lesson over this thing," he said.

"There's no doubt in my mind if we had done it in a more thorough manner it would have gone over big." Bussard said the group may try again to get legislation through the 1973 Unicameral. If that fails, he said, another petition drive would probably be conducted next year. ismn Breeders Bid By RED SMITH He Was Mr. Boxing To A In the dark ages of 1956 a propeller-driven for Australia and the Olympic Games stopped Fiji and passengers stepped down near a cluster huts.

IS IP i ioev mod o-ravoreci With Eloycil Harmony PURSE OFFERED AT AK By RANDY EICKHOFF Star Sports Writer Omaha Can Joey Bob do it again? And this time one-sixteenth of a mile further? That's the question, the aura of mystery that surrounds the 44th running of the Board of Governors' Handicap Tuesday at Ak-Sar-Ben. On June 24, Joey Bob, a 4-year-old bay 1 1 owned by Jack Van Berg and Joe Adcock, defeated top-weighted Royal Harmony during the Cornhusker Handicap over a mile and 1-16. But Thomas F. Devereux' 8-year-old gelding was carrying 124 pounds as compared to the 115 of Joey Bob.

This time, Royal Harmony is still top-weighted at 123, but the product of Bold Hemp out of Madam Bob has been boosted to 120 by racing secretary and handicapper Harry Krovitz. Road Man, part of an entry with Joey Bob and Pollution, who finished third behind Joey Bob and Royal Harmony in the Cornhusker, will carry 115 pounds in the race. Pollution, the probable pace-setter early in the race, will carry 112. But the duo of Road Man and Joey Bob will undoubtedly prove a tough combination for Royal Harmony.

All wore blazers of robin's egg blue bearing the Olympic emblem and so did their leader, an Englishman named Harry Charman. "You should have been here yesterday," Charman said. have met a friend of yours Nat Fleischer. He refereed some of our bouts." On a wildly stormy night a week or so later there was a fight card in Melbourne topped by lightweights of no special distinction. There was nothing much to recommend the show except that it was the last time professionals would be on display until after the Games because Olympic boxers were taking over Melbourne Stadium.

The weather kept attendance down to a few hundred, but Nat Fleischer was there. He was introduced from the ring, made a little speech and sat down to boisterous applause. Then the main event started, with no more than half the customers watching. The others were queued up near ringside to get Nat Fleischer's autograph. In London in another year, an American sportswriter had lunch with Harry Levene, the British fight promoter.

They swapped lies over a cold roast, and Levene won. Book Has All The Answers Around closing time that evening, the sportswriter was having a nightcap in the Mayfair pub called The Duke of Albemarle, which he had never visited before. He was trying to retell one of Levene's tales to his companion, but the. name of the central character eluded him. "Excuse mc a minute," he said, and walked across to the bar.

He couldn't have said what a fight fan looked like, but he was pretty sure the ruddy man behind the bar would not disappoint him. "What was the name of a heavyweight Harry Levene brought over from Canada?" he asked. "He came over on a cattle boat and knocked out national champions all over the continent and gave Primo Camera the only whipping Primo ever took in London." l' 'A mo'," the innkeeper said, and from under the bar he brought a copy of Nat Fleischer's "Ring Boxing Encyclopedia and Record Book." He ran a forefinger down Car-nera's record. "Mmmmmm, let's see. Here we are, 'London, England Larry Gains, right?" He handed the book over.

"Look at the fly leaf," he said. "To my friend Alf Robertson," an inscription read, "With best wishes, Nat Fleischer." That's how it always was. In Fiji or Melbourne or London. In Tokyo or Thailand or Tierra del Fuego, Nat Fleischer was there or had just departed. It won't be that way again, for Nat left us last week and will not return.

He was 84, and one hopes he set off on the last journey with the same zest he had for all the others. Began Where Others Left Off "A man who did more for boxing than any other man in the history of boxing," his friend Dan Daniel said in his eulogy. One had to be around with Nat or following on his heels to realize how true this was, what a genuinely international figure the little man with the bow tie was. As a boxing historian, Nat began where Pierce Egan and Henry Downes Miles left off. For his three-volume "Pugilistica" published in 1863, Miles borrowed freely from Egan's "Boxiana" (1818-24).

Nat searched farther and dug deeper than either, corrected their errors, fleshed out their facts, and in 1941 produced the most complete and accurate complication of records assembled up to that time. This was the first edition of the "All-Time Ring Record Books." In the next 30 years he improved on his own work 30 times, expanding the record book into an encyclopedia that became in fact a bible. It is a measure of the man's capacity that this monumental task was only a spare time occupation. He was editor and publisher of "The Ring Magazine." He wrote 53 books on boxing and wrestling in addition to the record books. He was a collector and archivist who assembled the world's largest fistics library and museum of boxing memorabelia.

As pugilism's roving ambassador to the world he circled the globe on more missions than he could count to serve as referee or judge or consultant to boxing authorities. Those jobs be worked at because he loved them. He didn't have to work at being the most friendly, helpful, patient and! considerate little guy in his world. He just was.

Evert-Goolagong Tilt Set broke on top, then faded to fourth at the quarter pole while Royal Harmony, breaking from the No. 13 post position, hit the quarter pole running eleventh behind leading Hazy Nation. Royal Harmcny started to move at the three-quarter pole, but Joey Bob skated to third, then second and out-legged the field and fast-closing Royal Harmony to eke out the win. The two highly-regarded co-favorites will be joined by other thoroughbreds from the Cornhusker, with To The Man, who finished fifth, carrying 109 pounds in jockey Kenneth Jones, King Terry will carry 108 pounds and will try to better his eighth place finish, while Action Getter, who finished ninth, drew 113 pounds for the Handicap.

"These big ones come few and far between," joked the trainer for R. E. Jones. "As a matter-of-fact, this is our first big win of the year." It was an upset win for the 6-year-old chestnut horse by Noholme II out of Shannon Gal.

Plum Rum had been top-weighted for the handicap at 130 pounds with Mr. Holme second at 121. But it was Ken Opstein's Naveago ait 117 who entered the post the slight favorite at 6-5 as compared to 7-5 for Plum Rum. Haveago's popularity with the crowd came after a Friday workout when the 5-year-old brown horse worked five furlongs just off the track record. But that didn't bother Vizcaya at all.

"Any horse can have a good workout," he said. "But it's how they act when the chips are down that counts. "The only horse I was worried about in the race was Plum Rum (the defending champion). He was the horse to beat even with all that weight. The weight made it pretty equal." At first, however, it seemed like a real longshot would take the race as Dancing Hank leaped to the lead and held it throughout the first half of the race.

But Plum Rum came up strong at the halfway mark to run neck-and-ncck with the roan gelding around the curve. Then Jim Powell moved Mr. Holme up strong on the outside after trailing the co-leaders by seven lengths at the halfway pole. Then it was another neck-and-neck battle for the wire with Mr. Holme edging out Plum Rum by a little less than a length.

He teamed with Devlin in 1970 to win the Wcrld Cup team championship and has played with Devlin in that event in succeeding years.

Through the U.S. Open two weeks ago, Graham hadn't won enough money on the tour to rank in the top 100. But his paycheck here, in a tourney skipped by most of golf's big names, will vault him into the top 40. Devlin picked up the second place money of $17,100. Larry Hinson, of Beach Mountain, N.C., who led the field into the last round, finished with a two-over-par 73 to finish third at 279.

Lanny Wackins and Miller Barber tied for fourth at 280. Wadkins, the co-leader with Hinson at 206 after three rounds, posted a 74 compared to his 67 Sunday. Barber went around in 69 to tie Wadkins. Cleveland GT) David Graham, a 26-year-old tour rookie from Australia, sank a 10-foot putt for a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff Monday and won the $150,000 Cleveland Open Golf Championship. Graham had finished the regulation 72 holes of this rain-delayed tournament tied with fellow Aussie Bruce Devlin at 278, six under par on the par 71 a 1 Country Club course.

Devlin had missed a six-foot birdie putt on the final hole that would have given him a Victory. Instead, he and Graham, World Cup partners last fall, set out in the mist and fading sunlight for the playoff for the $30,000 first prize. Graham, playing with a set of clubs he obtained from Arnold Pailmer in a swap for a used putter, shot a two-under-par 69 Monday, while Devlin finished with a 70. Devlin, too, had a 10-foot putt for a birdie on the second playoff hole. But he missed.

Onn the first sudden death hole, Graham drove into a fairway bunker, blasted out, chipped up and two putted for a bogey five. Devlin was on the green in two but three-putted for a bogey. He missed a three-foot putt that would have given him victory. "I didn't think of the money," said Graham, "not that money isn't important, but the important thing is that 12 months exemption from qualifying." The victory was a birthday present for Graham's wife, Maureen. "You stand there on the tee and ydu realize you haven't gotten her a present and you remember that two years ago at St.

Andrews she reminded you at 9 p.m. it was her birthday. It helps you play better," Graham laughed.
