Billings Sells
The Harvester at
Auction-$3 30, 100

The Harvester, 2:01, world champion
trotting stallion from 1910 to 1916 and
holder of several world records, brought
$4,000 at the dispersal sale Of the light
harness horses of c. X. G.. Billings
held in Madison Square Garden yester-
day. Paul Kuhn, grain merchant, Of
Terre Haute, Ind, bought the horse.
Although the sum realized on the son
of Walnut Hall-Notelet was fair, con-
sidering general conditions, 1t pales
into insignihcance when compared with
some of the offers Mr.. Billings refused
for him a few years ago. A Russian
syndicate offered 100000 for him and
the offer was not considered
William, with a race record of 1882,
brought only $4,000. This horse was
bought by Couch & Son, who, it is be-
leved, were bidding for A. Z. Van Alta,
who bred William and sold him to Mr..
Billings for $4,000.
Directum |, 1:56ai, was purchased by
s. S. Shuster, of Ellenville, y. Y, for
$4,000 Bion, the Russian horse by
Orlofr, for which $4,000 was paid,
brought only $3.50, and J. Coggeshall, Of
Providence, purchased him at the price.

American Jockey
Made to Suffer by
German Officer

Berlin, Tuesday, June (via London,
June 6).-Although George Archibald,
the American jockey, received spe-
cial permit to ride in the Grand pix
in Hamburg on Sunday, he was not in
the race, and racetrack patrons have
been guessing why he did not mount
Baron Won Oppenheim's Dolman in the
lO0.000-mark event.
The "Kleine Journal of Berlin to-
day announces that the commander OF
the 9th Army Corps vetoed the ap-
pearance of the American.
Archibald has been barred from rid
ing on German tracks since the break
in relations. Last Thursday he re-
ceived a special dispeusation to mount
Dolman, which promptly became a
favorite in the betting
From certain quarters IN which the
American jockey has been stigmatized
as the evil spirit of German racing
there was launched at the last minute
a protest, which resulted in the sub
stitution of a German jockey.
Dolman was a poor fourth in the
race. which was won by an outsider,
with an apprentice on top. Archibald
has been a prime favorite with follow
ers of running races, who invariably
plaved his mounts literally.

Macomber Buys

Hope springs eternal, and so, IN spite
of adverse happenings in regard 10
Star Hawk, North Star Sd, Dodge ana
Star Gazer. A. X. Macomber is not IN
the least discouraged.
As soon as it was learned yesterday
at Belmont Park that Mr.. Maeomher
had purchased Al. VI. Dick from Roy
r. Yeager every one wanted to talk 20
the new owner about it. We were more
interested in finding out what bup
May had to say about the colt, for, nat
urally, he knew all about him, having
trained him and brought him up from
an infant.
My! but May is proud Of him; and he
fairly glowed as he talked Of his prod
igy protege. Twenty thousand dollars
isn't 4 cent too much for that colt. why,
he is a wonder, and he Is entered III
more than $50 900 worth Of stakes. /
wish I had bought him myself, not only
rs an investment. but because he IS such
a splendid horse. am going 70 CON
tinue TO take charge of him, and Will
have him until after the Latonla
DERBY. II he wins that race 90 per cent
of his earnings will go to Mr.. leager
and 80 per cent to his new owner.
Purchased at Auction
Mr.. Yeager. who is supposed 70 know
more about motor cars than ne doeS
about horses, bought Al. NJ. DICK a.
auction as a yearling, relying ehtiretS
on his own judgment. He paid Sl'oUo
for the colt This is the first. horse
that Mr.. Yearger ever owned ana
either he has remarkably good taste
in things equine, or else his luck was
with him when he selected Al.
The youngster seems TO take aI'e'
his uncles. Ort Wells and Dick Welles'
more than he does after his own par,
ent, Dick Finnell, for the last named
has not done anything remarkable WIN
the exception Of producing some goo
colts. Dick Welles was at one time the
holder of the worlds record Tor a
mile. but as a sire he does not get
such good ones as the less snowy DICK
Finnell.
When Mr.. Macomber was questioned
in regard TO his new purchase. he SAID;
This time ! am buying one when Is
all READY ana GOING oOluctlii44H' ~
indeed discouraging to buy horses and
train them. only to have them break
down Just when they are ready to work.
I expect wonderful things OF Al VI.

George W Loft and Mrs. Loft were
interested spectators from the club
house lawn. There is no "house d.
vided against ITSELF there. Mr.. Loft
goes out into the paddock and comes
back and tells Mrs. Loft which horse
is going to win, and then they all
cheer for that horse. As rule. he
does win. too. Between races Mr.. Lott
said TO US: For the first time IN the
history of the T. d. Sullivan district
there was no charge of repeating at
the polls yesterday when they regis
tered" without doubt Mr.. Loft was
right in his surmise.
Three carloads Of horses were
shipped from Belmont 20 Devonshire

of these belonged to Grant Hugh

Spring was ushered in in grand

Haxtun and Julesburg
Clash in Fast Game
For a Starter
FUSSEL ON MOUND
Good Sized Crowd Sees Beginning
of What Promised to be Record
Base Ball Game at River
side Park LAST Sunday

Last Sunday the Haxtun base ball
team journeyed to this city for = game
of base ball with the local club-and
it would have been a real ball game
if at the beginning of the fourth in
ming, it began to pour down rain, and
the game had to be called off on this
account, much to the disappointment
of the COED sized crowd that was in
attendance.
The game started out with pep
being displayed on both sides, Fred
Fusscl, the pitching marvel, being
in the pitchers box for the Julesburg
team, and Weden for Haxtun. Both
pitchers were going good, but Russell
had his opponent outclassed in every
respect. In. three innings he struck
out eight men, some doings, Ell! His
performance last Sunday was nothing
short of real league calibre, and much
favorable comment was expressed in
regard to the Julesburg twirler. With
Fussel going good, just watch Jules
burg cop most of the games she plays
this summer.
The Julesburg team is particularly
strong in the backstop position, Tolly
Tollefson, the captain of the team, be-
ing slated for this berth for this sea
son. This sturdy playertis always in
the game, and his work behind the
bat is beyond reproach. He will dc
more than his share to help Jules
burg win the great majority of the
games.
The other members of the local team
showed up well, with the single eX,
ception of one or two minor hobbies
and this will be overcome with a lit,
tie more practice work. AS the boys
get a little more hardened into the
game, we believe we will have a base
ball team that will do credit to our
city.
The Haxtun bunch have fas,
bunch of ball players, and it is to be
| regretted that the game had to be
called on account Of rain. AS it was
the score stood to 0, and from all
indications that might have been the
result for several more innings. Our
boys hit the Haxtun pitcher pretty
freely, but the Haxtun players gave
splendid support, thus eliminating the
possibility of scoring. AS it was the
HaXtun team could not do anything
to Fussell's offerings--he simply had
their goat" at all times.
In all probability the Julesburg and
Haxtun teams will play another game
in the near future, to decide the vic,
tory of last Sundays game. 1t will
no doubt be big drawing card--and
believe US, an interesting game Of base
ball
