One of the moat rema.rka.ble trotting afrea of all time paaeed away yeaterday, | when, because of infirmities, the famous trot tine ataitlon. Sidney IHllon, was humanely put to allep by a Vocal ceterinary at the farm home of the atallkm a | owner. Sterling R Holt, near Indianagolis. The advanced age of the atallion had caoaed h^n to become practically i helpless, and. though surrounded with | every comfort and attended with all the solicitude that the desires of Mr Holt could provide, it was finally decided that a painless, peaceful death

was preferable to his situation.

Because of the retirement from the stud of Sidney Dillon, little had been known of him in recent years, but among horsemen of the present generation at least, be will never be forgotten, mostly l^ccuse of the senaatkmal performances of his daughter, Lou Dillon. IM*. that from 1*3 to 1913 was champion of the world’s trrdting division. When In 19U she first reached the two-nunute mark in % trip against time at Readvilie.

Sidney Dillon was twenty-eeven yeag| old at the time of his death.

COOTIE CHAMPION IS COTE ENOUGH TO STAY AWAY FROM KEWPIE

MILWAUKEE, August 1*. - Bantamweight champion Peter ■ JfermAn Is still champion today, but they're calling him a cootie champion for being cute enough to stay away—eomstimes—from the punches of Jack (Kswple) Sharkey. These two birds went through fighting poses at the auditorium last night The result was like a horse race^lt caused much difference of opinion. Sharkey deserves Credit for spectacufar gestures, Herman for conservation of his physical resources. As a fighting exhibition it was a big disappotatment. Herman got in a few good punches during the In-fighting. Sharkey got hie in in out-fighting. Altogether it was a draw, the spectators having been compelled to ‘’draw" on their imagination.

The Auto Question —its answer Did you ever walk along the street and admire a certain make of machine and feel way down in your heart that you would give most anything to own one like it? Yes, no doubt you have done that very thing and so have many other people without even investigating the selling price of such a machine. • It is just possible that there is a machine in Indianapolis of the same make and model that is being offered for sale at a price and on terms within your reach. Just to make sure, wouldn’t it be a good idea to make an investigation? It’s easy and only a few minutes’ time is necessary. Practically all the used cars for sale in Indianapolis are listed each evening in the want ad section under "Autos for Sale.” They are arranged alphabetically under makes of cars and easy to find. Read and use the want ads in The News—many impossibilities will be turned into realities. ^
