TOUGH TRAIL FOR WINNING
 GREAT DERBY
Kentucky Classic Is Worth $50,000 = But It Is
 Not All Profit
By '. R. ANDERSON

LOUISVILLE, April 3o-After the Kentucky Derby here May '. some body in the grandstand is likely to say of the winning horses owner;
 Isn't that tough winning S50,0o0 (more or less) in two min utes Cor more). Gosh, ] wish I was the owner, what I couldn't do with that much dough"
 (The Derby prize is $50000 add ed. If Is horses go to the post this year. first place will net the owner S4c, 750. The derby distance of a mile and a quarter never has been run in less than 2:0l 4f5)
 To the grandstande the Derby geld might seem like a slick way of grabbing modest corner on coin in a quick, easy fashion, but wait, let's hear the other side Of the story. .
 Lorg, Tough Trail
 It's a long, tough trail to a Derby victory with many a disappoint- ment and plenty of purse-snap- ping, take it from little Roscoe Geese. veteran trainer and former jockey.
 What does it cost to prepare a horse for the Derby?
 Goose shook his head and said:
 Horse racing is touqh racket and it's plenty costly. You only hear about the winners But there are a lot of losers.
 There are l03 horses nominated for this years Derby. Only one can win The winning owner makes some money, but think of the many who don't get cent
 Just what does it cost to pre- pare a horse for the Derby?
 Well" said the sharp-featured, bcspecta tacled Goose, who piloted Donerail to victory in 1913, that $ hard question, but off hand I'd say approximately S2500"
 That figure, Goose said. includes lOuI -HlOittii JCl iOd liOlii ooiiuo1 to May '.
 The Breakdown
 He broke down the estimate like this:
 Trainer at $500 a month, S1,200, exercise boy at $90 a month, S360, rubber at $60 month, S240 feed at $1 a day, $120 approximately; stall rent at Churchill Downs at S3 monthly, SIP; drugs and veteri- nary care, $7 month, S28; plates at S5 a month, $20. It costs $25 to nominate a thoroughbred for the Derby and $500 more to start him. This brings the total to S2,4O5.
 The owner likely would have several other horses in his stable. This would increase the running expense.
 In addition, there are CD the original cost of the horse, if he was purchased at an auction for several thousand dollars; (2) caring for him for the two years before he starts prepping for the race; t3) travelling expense and (4 equip ment costs.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-04-30

If the horse is successful as a two-year-old he may earn his keep. aybe more.
 Little Profit
 But. for example. if the horse mad not earned a cent up to the Derby and won, the owners profit would be small. Out of the $50,000 he must pay 10 percent bonus each to the trainer and jockey, in addition to money presents to other members of the stable. Also, the owner probably would have paid a retaining fee of approxi- mately $500 to engage a jockey.
 Some winning owners, said Ros- COG, would give it all away"
 The gold cup, too?'

The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-04-30

T should say not" answered Goose "Thats's what they spend thousands of dollars to win.
 Horse racing is an expensive game he reiterated. Its like owning a yacht. If you have to ask the price, you can't afford one.
 T guess that's why horse racing is called the sport of kings"

STARS WITHIN HALF CAME OF
 PORTLANDERS
Seattle Indians Have Merry Time, But Lose to
 Sacramento
(By Assc ciated Fress)

The Hollywood Stars have moved to within a half game of the lead ing Portlanders by taking ther third straight win over Los Angeles.
 Bill Norman's homer in the first inning with two on the bags was the highlght of the game.
 Seattle made three runs m tne seventh inning without making 8 hit when the Sacramento south paw Jim Hayes walked two, got yanked. relief pitcher Dick NeWsome walked the next man, and then outfielder Max Marshall dropped a long fly.
 The unusual feat wasn't enough to win the ball game for Seattle, how ever Three Sacramento homers b. Vergez ill the first with two men on, bv bib Williams in the fifth with me. and another circuit smash by Joe Orengo in the sixth with none on, decided the game for the EacS.
 Oakland broke her losing streak behind the sweet pitching of Bob Joyce. who handcuffed Portland, keeping the nine allowed hits well scattered. Observers says Joyce is making a comeback after his recent release by the Angels.

A large truck enroute to Philada.,
was damaged by fire on Friday
morning last. Fire was discovered
in the top of the truck, just back of
the drivers cab, as the machine was
on the outskirts of town. The Ris-
ing Sun firemen were called and
soon extingiushed the blaze in the
top of the truck, but sparks fell
down among the paste-board pack
ing boxes and caused fire that was
hard to reach, much of the load
having to be removed before the
blaze was entirely extinguished.
The truck was loaded with fancy
glass stands, beautifully colored
shades and other ornamental glass
pieces for electric lamps, and much
Of this was damaged by smoke and
broken in handling, as the wet paste
board cartoons would break and spill
the crefully packed contents on the
concrete roadway when they were
being dragged from the truck.
The damage to the load was much
greater than that to the truck. II
is thought the fire was caused by
some careless smoker throwing "a
citarette stump on top of the truck

County Treasures Re-
port Shows Surplus
Uncollected Taxes Only One
Half OF One Per Cent

The annual report prepared by
County Treasurer Edwin s. Dorcus
for the Board of County Commits
sioners, shows the county's budget
not only is in balance, but for the
eleventh consecutive year Cecil
County has closed its books with a
cash surplus.
The amount of surplus for the
past fiscal year, the report reveals
is in excess of 100000.
Added to this report was the noti-
fication from Washington that the
Public Works Administration had
approved a grant of $125,404 for a
new courthouse and Jail in Elkton.
Another achievement not reflect
ed in the annual statement is the
small number of treasurer's tax sales
for the year 1887 Only 23 proper
ties were sold during August, for
non-payment of 1887 taxes. OF this
number Cecil County was obliged to
purchase six properties.
The percentage of tax collections
in this county for last year is pleas
ing officials. The amount of state
and county taxes charged to the
treasurer for 1897 was $4,000
and to date the amount of uncollect-
ed taxes is $500, or only about
one-half of one per cent.

Water And Sewerage
Issue
Citizens Of North East File
Suit In Circuit Court

Harry l.. Harvey, Chas. A. Bay
ard, s. Jesse Crouch and James l..
Armour, of North East, through
their counsel Joshua Clayton, have
filed suit In the Circuit Court at
Elkton, against the Board of Com
missioners of North East, to pre-
vent the issuance of bonds for a
water and sewer system in that
town.
An election was recently held in
North East on the question of a
100000 bond issue to provide for
the proposed public improvement.
Those favoring the improvement
won by majority of 81 voters. The
contention Is raised that 161 voters
who participated in the poll were
Illegally registered.
The proceeds Of the bonds were to
be used at once in installing a wa
ter and sewerage system. The pro-
ject had the backing of the Mary
land State Health Department, and
during the campaign which preced-
ed the special election, Director
Robert w. Riley of the department
even took part, citing the menace to
health with continued lack of water
and sewerage facilities.
1t is alleged that the town had
419 voters and that 161 more voters
were illegally registered July 80 for
a special election held on Aug. 10;
that of the 161 voters registered on
July 80, 149 voted in the special
election, which was illegal.
The plaintiffs allege that the ac-
ton of the defendants in holding
a special registration and election
were illegal.
The court is asked for a restrain
ing order until the validity of the
registration and election has been
determined.
The defendants have been ordered
to appear in court on Sept. S, to
answer the bill Of complaint

Charging false arrest, Shalon
Ralph, Philadelphia attorney, has
brought suit for $4,000 damages
at the Prothonotary's Office at West
Chester Pa.
Ralph names Camp Saginaw, Inc,
Morris Edelson, director of that
camp, which is located near Oxford,
Pa, and T. Lloyd Lee, Oxford con-
stable, as defendants in the action.
The plaintiff AYERS that he was
employed as counselor in the camp
on July 18th, past, when Elmer Wa
ters, another camp employee, went
before Squire John G. Brock and
swore out a warrant alleging that
Relph violated the rules and regu-
lations of Camp Saginaw" Such
charge, he holds, does not constitute
crime under the laws of Pennsyl-
vania.
Ralph charges that Constable Lee
and others attempted to place hand
cuffs on him in making the arrest.
In the scuffle which ensued, he
states, he suffered painful injuries.
The charge against him was with
drawn before going to a hearing.
In asking $4,000 damages, Ralph
states that his reputation and good
name were damaged by the occur
ence.
