One of the biggest days in the middle west; is when the govern- ment bilyers arrive at the dealers‘ ,stables. They are officers frcm the le-mouni; dcpcts and area stations. They are good judges of ho.ses and want sturdy, clean-footed. straght- legged horses that travel right. with 200d bone. short backs. , stand 15.1 to 18.1 hands high and weigh from 1050 to 13M0 pounds and be from four to eght years old and gentle. For this kind of horse they will pay an average of $165 a head. The light riding horses are used for offlcezs’ chargers the med- ium horses for the cavalry and the heavier but active and fast horses for the field artillery. Some of these horses may be called upon to cover u hundred m‘les in twenty-four hours and gallop e. mile 1n three minutes.

‘The fastest mile so far recorded either at Pinehurst, N. C. or Sem- inole Park, Florida. is in 2.18 1-2 by the three-year-old pacer Mlggles Hanover. son of Peter the Bnswer (4) 2.02 1-2.

The stars in flurry Shows stable. at Pinehurst N. C. are Remus (3) 2.04 3-4 and Bill Boy (2) 2.01 3-4. the fastest tvro-year-cld oi the past season. Remus stands 17 hands and one inch tail and weighs 1.335 pounds. He is the lalgest trot- ter in turning for manly years but can get around the twice arounds Just as nifty as smaller horses. Others in the short stable include Gallant Heart (3) 2.06 1-4, now a four-yeuz-cld. He is owned by H. T. Fulton, Upper Stewlacke N. S. ‘mere are nine three-year-olds and twelve, two-year-olds in the Short stable besides the faster brigade.

The reilbirds at Seminole Park Florida. sat up and took notice last week when they clocked the four-year-old former trotter Edgar Hanover. now turned pacer. It will be remembezed that E. Roland Har- rim-an paid $8,100 for him as a Yearling at the Old Glory Sale in New York. He was entered in the zichest stakes for trctte s but did not make good. Early in the week Harry Pownlali let him step a mile in 2.26 1-2 with the last quarter 1n 31 seconds, and then came back an- other mile in 2.26 3-4 and was lust breezlng 111011;; not; making s. move at the end. yet the r-lockers caught the last quarter." ‘u 30 3-4 seconds

John Herve. in his final article on Henry Titer and his work in The Harness Horse of February 12th shows how Peter the Great des- pised by his owner, J. Malcolm For- bes. and placed in a remote cor- ner of the stallion barn finally ach- ieved unparalleled success in the stud. We quote-“A visitor asked to see Peter the Great. He informed that..he could not see him and that was Mr. For-

An effort had been made to get the horse into good sale condition and he was looking better than he had at the Forbes Farm previously, but was still far from be‘ng in gzod form. Bidding was not active and it was with difficulty that the auc- -tloneer got it up to near $5,000. Finally Mr. Duryea raised the bid to $5,003 got the hozse.

It ls by such small. or seemlnfllv so, in- cidents that the entte course of events is often altered.

Players may Be drafted

By Whitney Martin Associated Press Sports Writer

N'EW YORK. Feb. 21-—(AP)— At the present, rate of exchange of civilian suits for soldier suits, base- ball may lose alnund 250 players to the United States army before the 1941 scason is over.

That is a rough guess. The fol- lzrwing providcs a foundation in es- Almating the inroads of the army draft on (rganized ball:-

The Brooklyn Dodger organiza- tion includes 12 club; and to stymie the possibility c-f being caught un- prepared by an abrupt dz-parture of numerous players simultancously, the local draft, bards cif the mem- bers clf the various teams were checked to get an idea as to the approximate time the govemmcnt might beckon to Lite different in- dlvlduals.

The check revealed that an even dozen players could expect i.o fin- ish the canning 5955211 in the army, if they can pass the physical ex- aminations which are uncovelzng dental cripples and flat-fact floog- ies in the most unexpected places.

The fact that. 12 club; stand to lose a. total of 12 players miqht for want of a better yardstck, be tak- cn as the genera situation over the baseball field. 111st figures one man to a club.

'I'i1ey‘re in the hzme stretch in the National Hockey League and it's still anybody?» guess between Toronto Marple LCM: and Bcstm Bruins for thc league title and the favored spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

With each team having 10 8311195 left to play, Maple Ixafs are out to protect the slimmest lead pos- sible, s. single point. They hove a chance t: increase their margin during the w-se-lcend, with games tonigh; and Sunday as against a single contest for Boston Sunday nlfrht

But the Toronto opposition rates higher than that ‘against Boston. Leafs take on the third-place De- tr;it Red Wings at home tonight, then make a quick hop to Detro.t for a Still-day nigillt fxiure with ill-e R-sd Wings, and the Wings are a tough crew to beat at. htme when the olf-p;'ing team has pluyed 11110 nigh-t. before.

Boston. on the Cther hand, take on the last-place New York Amer- icans at hcmc, and the Bruins us- ually makc their gamas with Am- ericans B- sQcrc-lfattcning bee. At that. though, the law of averages might work out to help Amerks who haven't won a game m lulic Sime time,

Play:flf positions of the other tcanls are gradually working into shape. Detroit is coasting lalcng connlfcrtably in third spot, with. a. four-pint. margin over Chicago and Rangers, with a game in nnud over Chicago and two over Rang-

ers.

Meanwhile Montreal Canadians. who entertain Chicago Saturday night are clinging to the last play- off spot, chiefly bscause late the Americans have shown no great incllnatLn to move closer to them.

The other weekend game brings the tlvo fourth-place teams trgcth- er when Rangers are at home to Chicano Sunday night.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2l-(OP)— The New York Sun said today a bid has been made to move Ne-w York Rangers of the Natiinsl Hoc- key Lcaguc cut. cf Madison Square Garden and Across East River to

sporting population of Brooklyn and Queen; Boroughs.

The paper said Manager Mervyn (Red) Dutton is Qivlnlg the matter serizus consideration. Duttrn him- self could not be reached for com- ment but his office stated that “we can't move what we don't own.“ and declined to cmment; on hz-w seriously the suggestion is taken.

Americans are the prc-pcrty of the league itielf. with league pres- ident Frank Calder of Montreal also President cf the club.

The Sun said Henry Leech, a Brooklyn broker, is back of the plan and that he exlpects to have a new sprrtg arena at the Queens- Brorklyn bord~er ready for occu- pancy next September.

Apparently, the Sun eald. plans have been drown and opt-ions cb- talned on s. site but no construc- tion has been begun.

Americans pay rent. to the Mud- l=on Square Garden C rporaton when c-wns the other New York professional team. New York Rangers. For cars there have been -sugrgs-stiorls t at the Americans franchise might be moved else- where. but nothing has come cf them.

The Sun said:-

"The proposition to Dutton came from Henry Leach, a securities broker of Brooklyn, who t id the boa of the Americans that he ex-

ted to have a new sports arena n Queens (Borough) ready for 0c- cunrncy by next spring,

"it appears that the prrject is still in t e formative stage. though. plans for the building have been draw-11.. The plans rcvde for a seating ca-pscty of 9,000 with one balcony and 23.000 if two balcon- ies are installed...
