By H. c. HAMILTON.

United Press stall correspondent.
NEW YORK, June 2l.-When Phil
Dryer died in this city two weeks ago
one Of the best known men in the racing
game was gone. Known mainly as
president Of the Brooklyn Jockey Club
and the Queens County Jockey Club. he
was known 20 racing men the world over
as a subtle power in the race game
years before horse racing became tainted
with bad betting and crooked races.
With Michael +. Dryer, a brother,
Phillip Dryer organized the Brooklyn
Jockey Club and built the old Gravesend
track, where the Brooklyn Handicap and
many other noted Eastern classics were
run. When it finally went out of exis-
tence Phil Dryer took over the Acque-
duct track, then mile circuit. trans
formed it into mile and a quarter
course, and transferred the Brooklyn
Handicap and other classics which had
made the Gravesend track famous.
In the Washington market for years
the two Dryers conducted a butcher
business. relinquishing it finally to be-
come the owners Of Radamanthus, a
horse of more than usual ability. The
butcher business soon was showed com
pletely into the background and there
was laid q foundation of shrewd horse
judgment, business judgment. and hon
est dealing that has made their name a
synonym for racing in tie East
When the Gravesend track was estab-
lished the brotherly partnership that
had existed from the time the Washing
ton market stall was abandoned. was
discontinued. Michael made a disastrous

Carter Will Play
WITH MIDDLETOWN BOYS


BY "AL."
Special 70 THE EVENING JOURNAL
MIDLETOWN, Del, June 21.-Blg
Bess Carter, sometimes known as
Bayard, who held down the first base
position on the Delaware College
nine and who aided the Blue and Gold
In going through one OF its best sea-
sons, has expressed a desire TO cast
his lot with the local baseball team
and aid Lefty Finn win a few more ball
games. Carter wants to get INTO the
game Immediately and will probably
be in the lineup when Finn casts
spell over the Iron Hill team on Sat
urday.
Carter's announcement came as a
surprise TO most OF the local fans, be-
cause as he is a Wilmington boy, 1t
was thought that he should prefer to
play on a Wilmington team. But Bess
has reasons for wishing to play with
Middleton. In the first place, Mid
dletown has a mighty good baseball
team and anyone who plays with the
local nine is sure to win fame. IL must
be remembered that Lefty Finn had
trial with the New York Yankees, Hal
Culver had a trial with the Philadel-
phia Athletics and Bayard Vinyard has
been sought after by the big leagues.
Besides this, Carter expects to live
near Middletown tn s summer, so Il Is
only natural that he should desire to
play with the best ball team In Della
ware south OF Wilmington. and a team
that would now be leading the VIII
mington league II 1t could get into that
league.
without a doubt the local manage
ment will give Carter a chance to make
good as It seems that the big boy puts
up his best brand OF baseball in this
town.
On last Saturday-his first appear
ance here this year-he was lead-On
man for his team in four different
innings. In very one OF these he man
aged TO reach base, twice on hits and
twice on errors, starting a batting
rally each time. Outside Of his bat
ting he proved terror in the field,
pulling down three balls In centre
that had extra bases labelled on them.
Carter can play any position on the
diamond except behind the bat. To
prove what kind OF a pitcher he Is, in
a. recent game with Iron Hill no struck
out ten men, winning his game, s to 3,
and allowing only a few hts. He
would be very valuable man TO the
local team, not only for his fielding
and batting. but also for the inside
baseball dope that he learned at Della
ware College. under the direction OF
Coaches McAvoy and Jolls.
Should Carter be signed It is not
definitely known what position he
will play as every position at present
is we'll taken care OF. However. II Is
safe to say that wherever he Is
stationed, he will make good.

 Make a Bleaching,

The juice of two fresh lemons strain ed into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quar- ter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for small jar of the ordi- nary cold creams. Care should be talk en to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lem on juice Is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifler.
 Just try 1t! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion and massage 1t daily into the face, neck. arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften, fresh- en, bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It Is simply mar velous to smoother rough, red hands. Adv. $
