Hedrick Stops Trickery.

J. w. Hedrick has become just as
popular among the wealthy horse
owners around the New York tracks
as a German soldier would be in Eng
land. And its all because Hedrick,
exercising his rights, has done much
to abolish the sharp practice OF Ger
tain owners in slipping class horse
into field of truckers,
In the era before Hcdrick got busy
doing cop" chores it was a regular
thing for certain owners to enter
horses worth $1,000 and $500 in
races supposed to be exclusively for
horses worth from $500 to $500, The
inevitable came to pass; the "class"
horses ran away from the "dubs" and
their owners, OF course, took unto
themselves the big ends OF the purse
For quite a lengthy period those
fellows got away with their trick. And
then came Hedrick He owned a few
horses and he raced them in their
proper fields In the majority OF
those races his horse was pitted
against those classy stceds which had
no right i'll the race. The invariable
result was that Hedrick's horSe-as
we'll as those OF the other owners who
played the game tairly-were beaten.
And then Hedrick got busy.
What Rules Provide.
The rules OF a selling race" pro-
vide that the winner is subject to sale
at auction. When an owner enters a
horse in a race he fixes the minimum
price at which the horse can be sold.
Ii the horse is bid up beyond the sell
ing price and finally retained by the
owner the difference between the en-
tered price and the last bid by the
owner is split pro rata among the
owners OF the defeated horses in that
race.
Now, before Hedrick's activity the
sharp owners used to enter their
81 200 and $500 horses TO be sold
at from 5000 to $500. They had to
place such a minimum price on their
animals or they would not have beer
permitted to run in the 5000 or SSIN
races. The owners took a chance
that no one would bid up their horses
They got away with their trick-anc
the purses Tor quite a while,

FEW CLOTH TOPS

There Ito sure to be lack OF cloth
tops this spring. The predictions made
by many OF those well versed in the
shoe world, that the popularity Of cloth
tops would be short and limited, seems
to have come true. Nothing can remain
2 tavorite very long, no matter what il
Is, If il Is overdope, and that is what
shortened the life of the cloth-top shoe.
Internationally cloth tops were "done
TO death" Everybody wore them; every
hootery showed; every price, quality
color and fabric was represented. Il
was craze-one that lasted for about
three years and one that seems doomet
to die this season. Cloth tops were

whether It be for men or womsn, there
are new styles created to make those of
the previous season look out of date and
behind the times. There are bound to
be innovations, otherwise the industry
would not thrive. A man will discard
a.palF Of shoes (although they may be
perfectly good for several months of
serVleel because the style is not Just
up to snuff" It is fact that shoe
styles for spring have undergone many
changes, In many instances those
changes have been quite radical; in
Others not so noticeable.

GRAIN TOPS COMING IN

Among the leading style considera-
tons for this spring are grain tops, or
contrast feathers. They are the prod
ucts of the brains of crafty shoe design
ers who were seeking something differ
emit" and something to take the place Of
cloth tops, They have bright prospects
of becoming this seasons faYorite inno-
walton; yet they are apt to die the death
of their preceding fayorite because of
over-popularity.
These contrast colored shoes will be
shown mainly in the early spring lines.
You will see such creations as o light
tan upper over a black bottom, light tan
over mahogany, mahogany over light
tan, gun metal over patent leather, grain
leather over box calf and numerous
other clever novelties that seem certain
to win place in the hearts of discrim-
mating dressers.

for Immediate entertainment brought
only an evidence Of qulckness and
dispatch. Nearly all the soldiers have
been called out before for service In
the coal strikes in various parts of
the state, and all were apparently
pleased with the orders for action
now.
A request has been sent to the war
department to permit the First regi-
ment Of Infantry to go along with the
Second. but so far no reply has been
received. The Second regiment Is
commanded by Colonel Charles E.
Morrison OF Parkersburg. who was in
the Spanish-Ameriean war, and who
has the ranking regiment OF the bri-
gade, and the only one which con-
tains the full quota Of twelve eompan-
les. The majority OF officers OF this
regiment have had valuable exper-
fence In the held. a great many Of
them having been in the Spanish

The others have been In service dur

Along the Border.
ARMoRED CRUISER SAILS
Special Train is to Carry Amer

SAN ANTONIO, June 2O-General
Funston today requested the war de-
partment to send him as soon as pos
stble large part OF the national
guardsmen to be stationed along the
Mes!can border from Brownsville
to the Pacific ocean"
General Funston did not make
public the exact number requested
but said he had asked for enough to
provide adequate protection" Of the
border. He also withheld the names
Of the stations to which tho guards
men would be sent although admit
ting that a considerable force would
be moblliZed at San Antonio as re-
serve.
General Funston explained that in
making this request he acted only
on the presumption that he was Sc
curing an army for defense and that
the stations selected had been chosen
with that idea In mind; that II 1t be-
came necessary to organize an army
Of invasion he would supplement the
request of today with one for the bal
ance Of the guard.
Those asked for today include
units from all branches OF the SER
vice. He assumed that the first to be
sent probably would be those from
New York. Illinois and Pennsylvania.
So far as possible the state troops
Will enter the border service with
unbroken units. Regiments will be
kept intact and II possible even the
division organization will be main
tanned.
1t became known today that the
Quartermaster department here has
been instructed TO advertise imme-
dlately for the purchase OF 26.5OO
cavalry horses. 1t, 100 artillery horses
5000 wheel mules. 500 lead mules
and 5000 pack mules.
