BY WILLIAM BRACCHER NlIA Service Sports Writer

His Royal Highness. Reign Count, top-sergeant of the American turf last year. must have enjoyed a great horsey chuckle the other day when he heard that W. T. Waggoner, Texas oil multimillionaire, had of fered a very hot million dollars to bring His Highness to the Waggoner stables.
 That snicker was at the expense of Willis Sharpe Jlilmer of Bing- hamton, N. Y, who sold Reign Count in 1927 for s12,500.
 Early one morning in 1927 pr. Kilmer, who is breeder of thor oughbreds, was out watching his horses at their exercise gallops at Saratoga. Among them were several who were known to be for sale. in- cluding Sun Edwin and Reign Count.
 Dr. Kilmer's head exercise boy was Howard Lang, who was no re- lation to Chick Lang, the jockey who afterward rode the famous horse. Lang had advised a friend 10 buy Reign Count, telling him that he believed the horse to be the su- perior of Sun Edwin who was the pride of kilmer's eye. Lang was of the opinion that pr. kilmer had so underestimated the value ol Reign Count that s7.500 would buy him.
 Lang's friend was at the track that morning and heard Dr. Kilmer and the boy comparing the two horses after Lang had breeznd them around the track. Lang kept in sisting that Reign Count was the better horse.
 With paternal pat on the back kilmer closed the argument Witf the boy with the words:
 Howard, my boy. that is why you exercise horses and I breed them"
 That week both horses were sold w. A. Hartman paid approximately S75,oO0 for Sun Edwin, and got fol 1 his money q good colt. Mrs. Hert; paid S12,50O for Reign Count ant got the horse that brought an offer of s1,000,00 other day from the l Waggoner's stable.
 John D. Hertz. the Chicago taxi cab king in refusing Waggoner's offer, had a little fun himself. such an offer" he said, "coult | come from only the biggest fool il the world. I never go half way. will be bigger fool. Reign Coun l belongs to Mrs. Hertz and myscl and always will. No money can bu, him. That is final"
 Dr. kilmer himself would tell yo, that probably both men are wrong The history of the turf is full of tn, failures of champion race horses {, | beget great sons and daughters Only this year, the two-year-o old gc Of Man O War proved disma failure when put up against the tes l of the tracks
 Until the st,OO0,OOO offer 10 Rcigh Count, the highest bid eve recorded for a piece of horsef1es, came from the Aga Khan, who i, 1926 offered Sir James Rutherford Scottish distiller $6O0,0 fer So lario, the horse that won the Asco that year. Sam Riddle once wa offered s4OO,O00 for Man O War b a syndicate.

League Standing
TOnight's Games
NeumaticS Vs. GaScoS.
 IanderS vS. Stanley Rule.


 Landers vs. Stanley Rule.
 Stanley Works vs. Corbin Cabinet
 Although the Corbin Screw. Stan ley Works and Stanley Rule basket ball teams are in triple tie for first place from a percentage stand point there is a question on the matter of victories. The Corbin Screw team has won four contests. one more than either of the other two first place holders. All doubt will be removed tonight when the Stanley teams will play.
 If they should defeat their op- ponents, they will be tied with Cor bin Screw with four victories and no defeats This is the principal prize at stake in tonight's games. If the Stanley teams should lose while Landers is winning there will be triple tie for second place rather than first and Corbin Screw will be alone on top.
 The first game of the night will determine whether or not the Gas cos basketball team will continue alone it's losing ways or advance to a seventh place tie with the New Britain Machine quintet. its op- ponent of the night. The Neumatics can move 10 a fifth place tie If it wins.
 The Landers- Stanley Rule game may be the best contest of the eve ming. This Ianders team is a big inn provement over that which repre- sented the Universal factory last year. It won it's first game, lost the second and came back and won the third. Several young players have been added to the roster and they have been the factors in the inn improvement. Landers' threats will be Weihn and Charlow. The Rulers will be represented by it's five-man scoring team.
 Coach Grobstein's Stanley Works outfit which is playing under new system this year is the favorite to win over the Corbin Cabinet Lock team. One ray of hope in the ranks of the Cabinet Lock team is the de- lNiloC Niioli IioS StOp l$iiiCi ''N oAli- son, Stanley Works acc. Followers O. other teams in the Industrial league claim that if Swanson is stopped the Stanley Works team is left without offensive power. The Buttmakers' packers point to Arnold Reckert, Aldie Hewett and Two Point Abramowicz as scoring i- the reason why Coach John Tobin is shifting his lineup.
 The first game will start at 7:3o o'clock and either Dan Ahern or Clyde Waters will referee.

New Britain Basketball Quintet
 Scheduled to Meet Milford To-

Three times a winner in as many games, the New Britain DeMolay basketball team will seek its fourth conquest in the state league tomor- row night when it meets the Mill ford DeMolay quintet at the local !. NJ. c. A. To date the Hardware City team has met with no opposi- ton which could stand up before it, but Milford is reported to have a good team and may be able to throw scare into the locals.
 New Britain will experiment with it's lineup, it was indicated today, using Knowles at center in place of Hewett and selecting Stohl for one forward berth in preference to Swanson. The other positions will probably be held by the men who have taken care of them so well thus far, and New Britain has good reserve materiel on hand, too.
 The game will start at S;30 o'clock. Jack Tobin will referee. Dancing will follow the contest.
