4 Dollar Colt

T~hirty-five years ago the name Of
Minting was flashed around the world
when he won the English derby. His
victory, however, will not be a maTket
to what is expected of another colt
now bearing the sanle name, which will
start in the William Penn purse for
two-year-old ,rotters at Philadelphia's
grand circuit meeting next August.
This Minting was bred at Nawbeek

out of The Leading Lady, 2;G1, by Bin

for a dollar.

Al Saunders was giving a Red Cross
meeting at Belmont park. In order to
boost the gate receipts, a. B. Coke pre-
scented the colt and each one who con
tributed a dollar was given a numbered
ticket, a duplicate of which was
dropped in a bag. When the selling
Of the tickets at random and the holder
OF the corresponding number became

be Gus Wilson, of Frankfort, Pa.
He was offered 5000 for the ~youngster
but refused it. Later on he formed

and racing OF Minting. That the colt

The Stratton-W Warren team meets the

YANKS ALWAYS
HAD BASEBALLS

You can not cheat an American SOL
der out Of his baseball even if he has
to make his own supplies.
A company of soldiers now on Ger
man soil suddenly discovered that their
supply Of baseballs had run out. For
2 while it appeared as if there would
be no baseball until a new supply ar
rived.
However, one ingenious soldier got
a cork from a wine bottle, unwound the
worsted from one of his socks, twisted
the worsted around the cork, and then
cut q cover from an officers old glove.
The harness maker completed the job
by sewing the cover on.
A number of games were played be-
fore the home made ball became ply
sicaIly unfit for further active service.
