BASKETBALL TO
HAVE AN INNING
LOCAL SQUAD SCHEDULES GAME
FOR OCT. % WITH THE
TONOPAH TEAM

Basketball is coming to the front
with the cold weather and the local
tossers are already preparing for
games. Goldfield has always held a
pre-eminent position among the
states basket shooters and this POI
sition should be held again this sea-
son if the material at hand can be
taken as a criterion. The local
squad is full of pep and will put M
Il good contest against any team in
the state when the season gets into
full swing and the kinks have been
worn out of sore and stiff muscles.
There has been arranged, with
the Mizpah Hill team. a series OF
games which are to be played alter
nately in each camp. The first game
scheduled will take place at the local
high school gymnasium. on Oct. 20.
There will be a dance after the
game. The boys are endeavoring to
revive the interest that accorded in
the indoor game when the city
league teams put up excellent games
in 1912 and 1913.
The MiZpah Hill team members
have put. in the last few evenings at
stiff practice and as there are sew
eral college players among them,
who have made a name for them
selves in the winter game, they feel
confident that they will be able to
defeat the local squad. The town
team is out every evening and will.
in the next few days, begin signal
work and put a finish to their
plays.

FAMOUS BREEDING
FARM TO Be SOLD
LONG LIST OF THOROUGHBRED
HORSES WILL GO UNDER
THE HAMMER

LEXINGTON. KY, Oct. ia
sale of thoroughbreds which will be-
gin Oct. 2S. will mark the passing
of the race horse breeding farm,
Elemendorf an 5000 acre bluegrass
estate valued at 100000, estab-
lished neal Lexington by the late j.
b. Haggin. who for 20 years was
the greatest breeder of race horses
in the world. The stations, Ballot.
Hessian and Sain, with 6S brood
mares and 81 y%earlings are to go
under the hammer.
From the early COS to 1901
Mr.. Haggin imported from England
and the antipodes the celebrated
stations, Watercress, Goldfinch,
Darebin, Golden Garter, Sir Modred,
Star Ruby, Prestospans, Toddington
D%ieudonne, Greenan, Rapallo. Basse-
low and st. Andrew, and score of
highly bred mares and from these
and from American stock he devel-
oped and marketed more race ami
mails than all other American breed
ers of his time combined.
Between 1894 and 1905 MI. Hag-
gin maintained from 600 to 1000
stations and mares at a 10000
acre ranch in California known as
the Rancho del Paso and from
1897 to 1912 there were from $50
to 800 stations and mares at Elmen-
dorf, which place he began to or
ganize in 1897 by purchasing the
old Swigart farm.
Rancho del Paso was abandoned
in 1905 and the stations and mares
there were auctioned off. Mr.. Hag-
gin buying the most desirable for
E!emendorf.
To obtain the stallion Ballot, Mr..
Haggin paid the higest price given
for a native American thoroughbred
stallion since Sir Martin sold for
$4,000 in 1908. Ballot won Is
races, worth $15O.O0O during his
four years on the turf, in America
and in England. The suburban han
dicap at Sheepshead Bay was II of
his victories.
There we're upward of 25O mares
and SO or more stations at Elmen-

York put through his anti-racing
laws of 1908 and 1910, and Mr..

impossible to market in this coun-

so considerable without racing about
New York to maintain a demand for
young stock, began to ship his thor

One ball player can transform a
team from mediocre performer into
a championship combination. That
has heen demonstrated more than
once on the green diamond. Johnny
Evers made the Boston Braves of last
year into a team of champions, with
out the least doubt. This year with
Evers out of the lineup great part
of the season the Braves have wal
lowed around hopelessly in the pen
nant chase With Evers back they
seem more like champions.
This season we have the White
Sox as an illustration of how a good
player can work wonders in q club.
Eddie Collins was purchased by Char

$4,000 1t would not be surprising

amount, as Collins is one of the great
