N YEW YORK, November 28.-It
was every man for himself
VI today as the David Harums of
u light harness horse racing

that the owner of Greyhound was de-
termined to get the full sister of the
Protector and the Marchioness even if
he had to go to flve figures. Dicker-
son had planned to stop at $4,000.
1t was a different story yesterday
when Paul Bowser, Boston wrestling
promoter, and Walter Cox, trainer of
w. H. Canes Good Time Stable of
Goshen, went out after De Sofa which,
like the Princess, was consigned by
the Walnut Hall Farm of Donerail,
KY.
Cox. rated one Of the shrewdest
buyers in the game. finally called
quits. and Bowser got the promising
yearling for $500. 1t was the highest
price paid for a yearling at the Old
Glory since Calumet Dick was knocked
down for $l3.500 five years ago.
Walnut Hall. owned by DIR. Ogden
M. Edwards of Pittsburgh, had another
fine group OF yearlings. coming up to-
day. headed by Southland, daughter

Also listed to be sold was Silver
