CIORlES OF Sl0anS understanding OF

horsemen meet. He often asserted
that his whisperings into the ears of
his mounts did more to bring him VIC
tory than all his other tricks.
No horse was ever too mean for Sloan
to ride.
Betting on himself was one of Sloan's
favorite pastimes.
They tell one story of his giving
Charlie Dwyer, son of one of the
famous Dwyer brothers Of New York,
$4,000 to bet on the horse he was to
ride the following day.
1t was at the height of a party. It
lasted until daybreak.
Sloan booted his horse home to VIC
tory at odds of II to but found that
his pal, less hardened to night life, had
slept through the day and failed to
place the bet.
Sloan's return to the United States
in 1900 after his sensational string OF
European victories was occasioned by
the rivalry between William c. Whitney
and James r. Keene.
Whitney sent for him to ride Bally-
hoo-Bey in the Futurity, and the story
OF his return in state in the finest
suite on the steamer, his S100-per-day
drive to victory on Ballyhoo-Bey, after
being neatly "pocketed" by three OF
Keene's jockeys. Is turf classic.
Broke financially but cocky as ever
Sloan drifted out to Los Angeles in
1920, and, running true to form

carnousite Scots set up a mental
hazard for the other half today.

strokes under par was Paul Runyan Of

sary two fine recoveries to get up near

BAPTIST LEADER AND EDUCATOR
is DEAD

The death of DR.. w. J. McGlothlin,
president of Furman University, as re-
suit of injuries received in an automobile
accident some days ago, adds another to
the long list of highway fatalities in the
Carolinas The accident was one of the
most deplOrable and tragic in the long
record. DR.. McGlothlip was numbered
with the front rank leaders of the Baptist
denomination in the South. As an edu-
Gator and preacher he was one of the out
standing men of his church.
.The accident which resulted in the
death of DR.. MCGlOthlin was double
tragedy, taking the life of Mrs. McGloth-
lin as we'll as that of her distinguished
husband. The passing of this noble couple
is great loss to the institution of which
DIR. McGlothlin was the head and to the
city of Greenville, where they made their
home, and to the Carolinas and the South.
DR.. McGlOthlin did not belong to the
Baptist denomination alone. He was a
citizen of the South, through his denOmi-
national and educational connections and
his leadership in the church and in the
civic affairs of this great section. His in
fluence was a power for Christian citizen
ship. His was a leadership of clear think
ing, of forceful speaking and of moral
courage not exceeded by that of any other
leader, in this day of loose thinking or no
thinking at all, and of pussy-footing in
church and Dublic affairs
A leader in Israel has fallen. Christian
people of all denominations, and good
citizens with no religious convictions, real
ize that his denomination, the Church at
large, and the South as a whole, have sus-
tanned a heavy loss in the death of DR..
