Earl Jr. Fooled"
Cox and Murphy
Both Trainers Failed to See
Great Horse in PAGER.

A large picture of Earl. Jr, occupies
a prominent place in the dining room
of Walter Coxs new home at Goshen,
N. Y. The stout gray PAGER in all of
his racing regalia revives many memo
ries among those who drop in to have
a meal with the long Yankee. A few
days ago, when referring to- the old
stallion, Cox said:
"Some people think that Murphy and
/ know a little about race horses, but
the manner in which both of us passed
up Earl Jr. makes 1t look as If there
We're days when we were near the low
water mark.
II first saw Earl Jr at Terre Haute
in 1909. He was then a four-year-old
and was still going strong. The first
glimpse of him made me think that I
should buy him. l moved on and never
made a bid.
From Terre Haute we shipped to
Detroit and laid up week. One morn
ing when Will Berry of Concord, John
Farnum and Sanford Small were busy
telling me what they knew about horses
/ saw the gray horse whisk around the
turn. cut in on Berry long enough
to tell Farnum to go and buy the colt.
In about an hour he came back and
said, You own him, price $2,400.' Far
mum then declared himself in. while
Berry and Small followed suit. Each OF
us had 5000 on the colt.
THAT week Earl Jr. finished third to
Tony Swift. The following week at
Kalamazoo the partnership was almost
busted. Earl Jr. was entered in a race
in which / also had Hoosier Prince.
George Gano was barred in the betting
and my partners wanted to each play
about $500 on the new colt. 1 told them
1 could not drive the horse as l had
been training Hoosier Prince all season
and his owner expected me to race him.
Finally the three of them found that
under the conditions they could start
two horses from the same stable. They
put up Geers and went to it. I backed
Hoosier Prince to come second. He won.
Earl Jr. was distanced.
There were a few sore partners that
night. but Earl Jr. got back all they
lost and more, too. At Readville he
won in 2:10h. but when he required
five heats to beat Halle Direct at Hart
ford in 2:11A sent him home to Dover.
THAT winter Murphy came up ia
Dover on horse hunt. Like all of us
ne pretended to want one while he was
looking at another. I tried my best to
sell him Earl Jr.. but Murphy would
not even nibble. Finally he selected Lady
Isle. No one ever heard of her after
that sale. AS for Earl Jr., he passed
on. Later I was mighty glad to get
him back again. There may have been
faster horses, but no one ever saw a
tougher one, or one that was harder to
beat.
"Still folks think that Murphy and ]
can pick winners. Maybe we can IL we
get enough picks, but can you beat him
refusing to even look at Earl Jr. and
me down on my knees trying to sci
him?" -

Morvich's Supreme Test
Coming in LatOnia Derby
Must Carry 131 Pounds Over
Long Course.

Morvich's next important stake en-
gagement, the Latonia Derby, looks
like an acid test for the three-year-
old. IL anything of high class COM
petes with him, as he will have to
shoulder 131 pounds and run n mile and
half while conceding weight to every
other starter. Fillies that never won a
race may carry as little as 116 pounds
The pernicious system of penalties and
allowances by which these inequalities
in weight are brought about is all that
prevents the Latonia race from being
real derby, though the value of the
event is not quite enough to rival the
Kentucky Derby or the Belmont Stakes
1t will be worth about $4,000 to the win
ner, and II Norwich wins it will be
worth 5000 more, bonus of that
amount being added in case the Louis
Vile winner repeats Mt CovinRton. Nor
vich's earnings to date are s162O09, not
counting $1,000 in plate. Should he win
the Latonia Derby and the $4,000 speciai
just arranged for the meeting there his
total would be within striking distance
of Man o. Wars s2i9.fs and larger than
any horse has yet piled up in open
racea In America.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The Ad-

any concrete developments tending to
alter the coal strike situation, pushed
forward its plan for diverting coal
shipments, through priority orders, Co
sections threatened with real emer-
gency conditions. Indications at the
White House were that President
Harding is prepared tU give the oper-
ators ten days or two weeks in which
to determine whether they will be able
to resume production in material auan-
titles. In the mean time he will work
out the details of the compulsory arbi-
tration commission plan to be brought
forward in case the operators fail in
their present efforts.
There Is declared to be little possi-
bility that the scheme for distribution
control will be formally launched be-
fore the middle of next week Secre-
tary Hoover, with the aid of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and traf-
fc experts of the roads, has drawn up
the general plan, but much is yet to be
worked out, it was learned, at the
meeting Of between thirty and forty
producing operators called into confer
ence here next Monday. The admins
tration of the plan will be placed in
the hands of a central committee in
Washington, headed by Mr.. Hoover, and
various local committees in the produc-
ing districts. Attorney General
Daugherty was called in by Secretary
Hoover to-day to define the legal
weapons at the disposal of the pro-
posed commission for enforcing its dis
tribution orders and holding the price
levels. A formal report will be turned

said he and other mayors would have

early date. He intends to see Mr..
Lewis either in New York or Scranton.
Mayor. Durkan said the mayors also
would get in touch with the anthracite
operators if need be.
Mayor Durkan gave out copy Of a
statement he had made TO the Presi-
dent on. behalf of himself and the other
mayors. In this he suggested that a
commission of five men be named to
investigate the question of new scale
and that in the mean time the miners
should go back to work. He opposed
the plan of a commission of eleven.
Fear was expressed that disorder would
result from the recent move of the
government. Mayor Durkan said he
was pleased with his talk with the
President and with the Presidents
sincerity. The Mayor said it was not
unlikely Lewis would be invited to

the mayors of that region.

PARIS, July 22.-whe Allied repre-
sentatives will dominate every avenue
| of German financial life under the
terms of the plan of the committee on
guarantees, the acceptance of which by
Chancellor Wirth for Germany was
made public tonight. Conditions of the
acceptance by Berlin are that German
sovereignty must be respected that
economic secrets of taxpayers must be
held inviolate and that the Allied con-
troll shall last only as long as the
moratorium.
The plan which Germany has ac-
cepted provides for two Off icial con-
trollers, who shall be responsible for
the supervision of ali departments of
finance and who shall report to the
Allied committee on guarantees. The
agreement sets forth the method by
which Germany must present all facts
of fiscal nature-receipts, expenses
and appropriation laws. Part II out
lines the manner in which the control
lers will keep tab on Germany's float
| ing debt. The third division takes UP
tne prevention OF Che evasion OF capital
| and presents scheme by which Ger
man manufacturers will be bankrupt
from leaving money in foreign banks
after making sales outside Germany.
Close observers Of the reparation
situation look forward to a complete
understanding between France and
Great Britain in regard to the German
policy, despite Premier Poincare's note
to the Reparation Commission in which
he mentions supplementary guarantees
before his government would agree to

George in London will be aided by the

Scientists here said the discovery

DR.. Plaskett has estimated that the

sun, the other 10000 times as bright.
Plaskett, Dr.. Plaskett estimated, is
