the accommodation OF their stable en-
ployes, and Red Walker will do like
wise. Lucky" Baldwin said yester-
day that twenty-five new buildings are
contracted for In Arcadia and he looks
for genuine boom out that way.
Herman Brandt, who has the best
little string of classy ones that will
be raced next winter at Santa Anita,
says that he regrets that he will not
have Tom McGrath next winter. Tom
Shaw. and not Brandt, took him away
from M. Kraus recently I'M selling
race at New York, but Immediately
sold him TO George Brazier. The lat
ter horseman probably win race at
Santa Anita, In which event local pa
irons of the racing game Will see Tom
MeGrath in action.
Barney Schrieber appreciates a joke,
but probably he never was so grateful
that he is the butt of a good joke as
now. Last year he had almost sold
Jack Atkin to a certain big eastern
horseman for $4,000, but a superla-
lively Intelligent CD veterinary ex-
amined the horse to see IL he was
sound and discovered a ringbone. He
advised against the purchase of the
great horse. Schrieber reluctantly re-
turned Jack Atkin to Woodlands for
last winter and sent him out after a
few weeks rest for the $4,000. Fol-
lowing his successes at New Orleans.
he went east and took the long end
OF the purses in the Carter and Metro
politan handicaps and to date, this
year, has earned $4,000 In purses alone.
Barney is not gnashing his teeth one
bit at his poor ~ luck in not making
the trade.
Walter Jennings is enjoying the
lovely ecllmate out at Arcadia and,
incidentally. getting his horses into
racing condition. He says that old
Proper, now eight years old, appears
as sound as ever and will be in the
running for the big stakes next win
ter. Jennings still has warm spot
in his heart for this great old horse
and expects him to win many good
races during the winter. Julia Powell
and Rosegal also are In the Jennings
string, In addition to several promising
and highly bred yearlings.
w. D. Millard Pop, of course) has
moved back to Monrovia for the win
ter, while Billy Millard is safely es-
sconced at Bemay ranch, a mile away
from Santa Anita. Pop said yesterday
that BOLD. Bemay, Merrill and Ed
Ball are no good and not At to race
any more. but will garner a few oats
next winter, just tne same. Fop put
over so many good things last winter
that the bookmakers were heartsick
every time he sent starter to the
post, as they never knew where to
find the foxy old man. Bemay place
was purchased with the early winnings
of Bemay, which went over several
times at odds ranging from 40 to !
down to to /. The pilSers will do
well to keep an eye on the old scout
next winter. He never sleeps.
Herman Brandt has a crackerjacls
racer in Harrigan, but he says that
he has no definite plans made for him.
According to Brandt, If Hughes is
elected governor of New York, Harri-
gan will be raced next winter at Santa
Anita, as he will not have anything
in sight for his breadwinner in the
east in that contingency, but II Hughes
is defeated Harrigan will be rested
up at Santa Anita all winter, in
preparation for the summer campaign
at New York. This means that Brandt
holds to the opinion that If Hughes
is elected. racing will be at an end
in the Empire state, while his defeat
