STONEHAM BUYS REAL HORSE

Owner of New York Giants Purchased Bally, Winner of Jerome Handigf Auction. ■■ ' ■ Having bought a race track within the past-few weeks, Charles-A. Stoneham, owner of the New York National 5 League team, bought a real race horse the other day at Empire City. He purchased Bally, a son of Ballot, at the auction) sale of the horses in training from' the stable of James Butler. ' • Stoneham races under the name of the Casco Stable. But thfc horses that have run in his colors have, been selling platers of very poor quality. His purchase of Bally, who won the Jerome Handicap, and for which he paid $4,8&0, would’ seem to indicate! that the fawner of the Giants is going’ to build up a formidable stable. As owner with John J. McGraw of Oriental Park in Havana, Cuba, Stoneham probably thinks that 1 he should have a few real thoroughbreds representing him on the track.
