HARNESS HORSE ELITE TO GO UNDER HAMMER HERE

Local Spe Speed - Sale to Lure - Many Buyers

Her Ladyship and Vesta -Hanover- Among Fancy Steppers on Block.

- By LEO DAUGHERTY It’s hayin’ time at the Fair Ground stables and Greyhound stuck his fiose out of his stall with the feeling of satisfaction that he wasn’t on the auction block. While the world’s grandest trotter affectionately nosed his groom— Jimmy Wingfield, the old harness

#iorse veteran Harrie Jones from|

Rushville studied the records of the %horses which will be up for sale ov. 14 to 18. ~~ This sale, the 10th under the same Srepices, will follow the Indianapolis “Bpeed Sale, scheduled for Nov. 1 and 2: Only trotters and pacers are brought into the ring for the Nov. 14-18 auction, but saddle horses are included in the early event. “‘Few realize it, but these Indian#olis sales are tops in the country. fThey have only one rival. That’s “the sale at the Armory in New York gang it’s losing prestige. "The second sale is under the auspices of Mr. Jones and Sep Palin, ‘the man with the horse and whip "knowledge who rides behind Grey‘hound in history-making dashes. © The first day of this sale is show day. That is, there’s no sale at all. They just parade the horses to give the bidders a chance to see their

handle their legs. Foreign Fanciers To Be Present

- Something like 2500 or even 3000 shorse fanciers are expected for the Fast three days of horse retailing. ..-The bidders, at the cry of L. L. Seely, who hails from over Illinois way, are not just from Southport and Augusta and these other immediate environs. “_When the fast horses are put on the block there’ll be buyers there {fom all over the U. 8. A. and Can##a and from Belgium, Sweden, Nor“ay, Holland, Germany, Italy and France. “Why they can’t buy horses over there in Europe like we sell,” said Mr. Jones. “One thing about those foreign buyers. They'll pay more than the Americans. But those Englishmen, you can’t sell them a pacer. They want trotters.” Mr. Jones pulled off his nose glasses and added that when one

. “buys a horse at a horse auction : 19s ee no fooling. You lay on the

line cash money or New York Exchange and. there are ne checks receivable, éven certified ones. The Palin-Jones atietion has consigned ‘for sdle between 200 and 250 harness horses, ‘all of them off the Grand Circuit. “Why, we'll sell-around 110 head a day,” Mr. Jones said. “Mr. Palin started this salé back in 1929. Good idea he had there. Gueéss maybe the total price these horses will|p Bring is nigh on to $200,000. That's &;lot of cash.” #Mr. Jones was feeling. right proud because. of the caliber of goods they have to offer this year.

World's Champions To be Offered :

“We have several world’s champfons consigned to us this year,” he boasted. Things like that don't get into every day sales. £ “Nope, Greyhound isn’t up. But his stablemate Her Ladyship is. She holds the world’s record for pacing mares at 1:56%. Aud she hblds tlie world’s record for three Heats at 1:58%, 1:58% and 1:59% She's a beautiful brown and 5 years old. : “She runs with hobbles and E. J. Baker who owh$ her and Greyhound and some others doesn’t like Hobbles and it’s a good time to sell her.” You know what hobbles are. Those annoying straps around legs. Make even thé spectator feel uncomfortable. More champs are for sale. And you won’t find them listed in Friday's big paper with the hats and dresses and shoes and all that sort 8f merchandise. There will be brought out Vesta Hanover, & 3-year-old trotter with a record of 2 minutes and %* seconds at Lexington this year. That mark labélled her as the season's champion. 3-year-old filly. Royal Spencer ‘will be offered to the highest bidder with his trotting record of 2:06 and a Hambletonian complex. Homer Biery of Butler, Pa., owns him. Another buy is Dale Wyn, a 2-year-old pacer who holds the 1938 Ohio championship flag with a mile record of 2:08%. She started nine times this year. and came home ahead of the pack seven times.

Walt Heckman, rolling Fraternal League on the Hudepohl Beer squad, paced local bowlers in last night's meets and led—with a 690—one of the shortest honor count lists in weeks. Walt opened with a heavy 243 then slipped to a 223 second game and a 224 finish to just miss the exclusive 700 class. John Murphy continued his consistent honor game bowling with a strong 682, His initial roll was a lowly 189. In the second game he jumped to a 236 and then posted a rousing third game of 257 for his total. Any game approaching his last two rolls would have put him well into the 700s.

High team honors went to the Browns of the Evangelical League as they had one 1000 game and two in the 930s for a 2865 pin total. Becker slapped out a potent 643, Graul, Peoper and Tegeler were in the high 500s and McGuire rolled a 494. Their score:

192— 643 195— 580 : 7000 931 Grand Canyon Inn followed the Browns by 31 pins with a 2834. Gruner rolled a good 639, Woerhaye Jr. hit a 587; Woerhaye Sr. posted a 545, Ayres got a 536 and Dunn, the cleanup man, failed to clean up with a 527. They rolled in the Southside Businessmen’s circuit. Only Heckman’s and Murphy's scores could be considered really impressive totals in an otherwise

weak honor list, which was: .. 69

Vesta Hanover May Bring $20,000

Up, too, are to be Blanche Hanover, the female 2-year-old trotter with six straight victories this vear and a record on Ohio tracks; Clay Hanover, with the larder of the shoe millions in his stall; Bal-

as a 3-year-old colt; Rhea Abbe, a little girl of 2 who does some fancy pacing, and Dillon Hall, who went big in the East as a 2-year-old. If you want to go out to the Fair Ground about the second day of the Palin-Jones sale, you might see some big money. They're expecting that Vesta Hanover will bring around $20,000 and that’s more than McLin brought a short time before he won the Hambletonian. We want to get a picture of Mr. Jones counting that gilt. Maybe he'd drop a “C” hote or even some nickels in the excitement. Gréater love hath no man than Mr. Jones for the harness horses. But for the life of him he wouldn't hurdle a sulky again and drive. He did that from 1888 until 1925 and there was a five-year stretch there that he never trained less than 61 horses and one year he put the bit into 77. “But I love ‘ém,” he said. “And I think there ought to be more in the papers about these horses. Wouldn't it be pretty hard to get $20,000 for a halfback, unless he was your own boy? Inventory the horses out there in those stalls. Try to make a swap with the boy who's in front of the stall and see what he wants for the flesh that’s

ing Congress is to award a plaque to the winning team in the Shortridge Girls High School League, it was announced today. Each member of the victorious squad also will receive a W. I. B. C. medal, the office of the Indianapolis Women’s Bowling Association said. The girls, rolling each Saturday at 9:30 a. m. at the Parkway Alleys, are bowling under a Moral Sanction issued by the W. I. B. C. It is not necessary for them to join the association unless they desire to bowl in tournaments. They ‘then would become regular members of both the W. I. B. C. and the I. W. B. A. at present the league pays no dues to the Congress. Jean Fulton, a Shortridge senior, and daughter of Marie and Joe Fulton—both prominent bowlers— last year became interested in organizing the Shortridge girls. This year .she lined up six teams. There was quite a large waiting list but since there were no more alleys available she could not increase the size of the league.

Although the Little Giants defense has been riddled frequently this year, their past performances are usually forgotten when they take the field against the Bulldogs. Wabash has yet to hit a victory stride for the current season. Their five games played to date have resulted in four losses and one tie. Only on one occasion have they scored. That
