LOS ANGELES, Oct. 81 (AP) a..

there's not pimple on him"
Barry, no youngster, is one Of the most
retiring but most respected trainers in this
country. He has way with horses. Take
Errard King, for example. Tom and Joe
Gavegnano, who put up the money, bought
Erarrd King for $500 back in 1852. When
he was retired TO stud the horse had won
$317,575.
AFTER THAT ONE, it was back to
relative obScurity for Barry. But in 1858
he acquired an Irish-bred named Cavan
This one wasn't seen in Florida or Cali
fornia, nor In the Kentucky Derby or
PreakneSS. Biding his time, Barry waited
for his own Big Race.
Cavan won the Belmont, beating Tim
Tam, who had captured the Derby and
PreakneSS and was oddS-on to become the
first Triple Crown champion since Citation
in 1913.
1t was practically the same two years
later, only this time the Belmont winner,
trained by Barry, was Celtic Ash. IAN
other Irish-bred, natch)
The taciturn Mick seemed to disappear
again, but not for long. In the spring Of
'62, at Laurel, there was Barry with the
1r1sh-bred Vimy Ridge, who set new
American record in winning the Senatorial
Stakes at mile on the turf. Last one he
brought to this country from Ireland was
Pollingfold, lesser known, perhaps, but win
ner of the Bowling Green Handicap at
Aqueduct earlier this season.

PROBABLY THE BEST of the Irish
imports for the International was Bally-
moss, who ran third in the 1858 renewal.
The next year Ireland'S Stephanotis also
was to finish third, but Ballymoss was con-
Sidered the best to wear his countrys
colorS.
Although United States horse players
still harbored Skepticism about foreign
entries, such was BallymoSS' record that
ne was backed down to 10 cents on dollar.
He ran third to Tudor Era and Sailors
Guide (the latter named the winner on a
disqualification after a pedestrian ride by
Scobie Breasley, veteran AUST allan jockey.
Two different horses bumped and bothered
BallymoSs, which is enough to dull any

SO the 11-year score stands at five wins

England, Venezuela and Australia, and a
big fat zero for Ireland, plus 10 other ma

WIN LOSE OR DRAW
Irish Banking Hopes
On Christmas Island

RONICAI,, ISN'T 1T, that q country
that SpawnS as many solid race horses as
Ireland should be looking for its initial
victory in the 18th International coming
up at Laurel. Nine steeds that wore the
shamrock have been sent to the barrier
and the best so far has finished third.
Even the Russians have done almost as
well.
But Ireland is coming out with an
other challenger on November II, a s.
year-old implauSibly named Christmas Is
land, after the fabulous little Pacific
vacation paradise. (Rare cloud formations
a speciality Naturally, Irishers are call
ing this horse their best to date.
This will be the third contender from
Ireland to be shipped here by fabulous
man named Paddy Prendergast the re-
nowned trainer who has won six classics
already in Europe this year with his
Golden Stable" Only Paddy won't put
the saddle on Christmas Island.
Tom Barry will do the honors for him.
American racing bluffs know of Paddy
PrendergaSt, but Tom Barry they EnotD.
BARRY is A QUIET FRESHMAN who
trains public stable, minds his own bust
ness and lets his horses speak for them
selves. He probably won't ever saddle a
Triple Crown winner, no matter how high
the caliber of the horse, because Tom
doesn't operate that way.
The Kentucky Derby, not to mention
the big winter races, comes too early for
Barry to ask S-year-old to run all out.
He's Belmont Stakes man, two-time
winner of the only Triple Crown event at
mile-and-a-half.
He gets to handle Christmas Island
because Prendergast, also halloween of
the colt, decided against trip to Laurel
this time. Why should he make it, Paddy
probably wondered, when his old friend
Barry, son of the Ould Sod and County
Cork, besides, was on the scene? If Tom
can't do it, Christmas Island isn't the horse
to break Ireland'S famine.
PRENDERGAST HAD BROUGHT Pan

3 Area Men Offer SIS Million for Eagles
Trio Headed
ByWoImon,
D. c. Builder
By MORRIS SIEGEL
Star Staff Writer

A three-man Washington syn
dictate today made a bid Of
IS million to buy the Phila-
delphia Eagles. Their letter
of intent, together with a GER
titled check Of $4,000, was to
be sent by courier this after
noon to Frank L. McNamee,
president of the Eagles.
The group seeking to pur-
chase 100 per cant control OF
the Eagles is headed by Jerry
Wolman, owner of q construc-
ton firm bearing his name.
The other two are Attorney
Earl Foreman and Restaura-
teur Duke Zeibert.
1t is understood that stock
holders have authorized Eagles
directors to act on any bid in
excess of $4.5 million for the
81 shares of stock. One bid
and possibly two otherS-al-
ready are under consideration
and will be considered Monday
at a special meeting Of the
teams directors.
I'VE have every intention Of
keeping the Eagles in Phila-
delphia," said Wolman, a So
year-old native Pennsylvania
who came to Washington IL
years ago from Shenandoah,
Pa.
Wolman built the Summit
Hills Apartments in silver
Spring and recently purchased
the Munsey Trust Building.
His firm currently has about
$50 million in construction
work underway. Through his
attorney, Foreman, he has been
negotiating for the purchase Of
the Eagles for almost two
weeks.
The Wolman syndicate said
"our offer is open for a period
of 10 days, during which time
we hope to document and exc
cute all matters necessary to
complete the deal. The Today
, limitation is evidence on our
part that we are ready to move
Immediately"
Wolman, who lives in Chevy
! Chase, said 1t was "a boyhood
, dream of mine" to own a pro-
feSsional football team. He
became interested in the Eagles,
he added, when he learned they
were available.
= The group began discussions
in earnest last Monday with
a Camden IN. j. banker who
also is a stakeholder in the
Eagles. He advised them to
make their offer in writing. II
think SIS million will take It,"
he told Wolman.

As MVP in MI

famous pitching finger went
out of action in mid-season and
the Dodgers did not win the
pennant, much less a World
Series.
This year Drysdale, Wills
and Davis had great years, but
not to compare with 1862.
Wins Twice In Series
Koufax, conversely. had a
sound finger and won IS games.
The Dodgers captured the pen
nant and whipped the Yankees
four straight in the World
Series, Koufax capturing the
first and fourth games.
Koufax repeatedly got $42,O 900
! in 1862. The figure $55,000
has been mentioned for 1864.
If true, this would make Sandy
the highest-paid man in Dodger
history, exceeding by $4,000
the reported salary Of Drysdale
in 1868.
The Dodgers never have paid
such salaries as the $4,000
to 100000 reputedly paid to
such figures as Willie Mays,
Ted Williams, Stan Musial,
Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle.
Seventh Pitcher
Sandy Is only the seventh
pitcher to be voted the MVP
award in 80 years. The last
National League pitcher to win
it was a right handler, Don
Newcombe of Brooklyn in 1856.
Milwaukee Outfielder Hank
Aaron was third with 1876 points
and Ron Perranoski, Dodger

Proposes Absent Ballots
For School Elections

HB 348, by thinner, Resell, Turn
age, Slaby, Casey and Harper, pro-
poses that the privilege of voting by
absent ballot be extended to electors
in school elections when the .elector
may be "absent from place of resi-
dence or physically handicapped from
going to the polls s.. :"
Behind this bill is the fact that
many times voters are unavoidably
kept away from school election polls.
Operating rail workers are probably
the physically-able group most often
denied votes in such elections be-
cause of their runs. Similarly, peo-
pie who are hospitalzed or are other
wise confined because Of physical
ailments, are denied their franchise
in school elections.
HB 348 makes the general statute
covering absent ballots in regular
elections applicable to school cleo

Health and Welfare Programs
Asked for Public Employees

At least five measures are
currently under consideration
which have to do with prepaid
life, hospital-surgical and medi.
cal insurance plans for public
employees.
Of these, lib $50, by Keller, Beck
and Bardanouve, is the most compre-
hensive, in so far as State employees
only are concerned. This bill would
set up a State Employees & Group
Insurance Commission of five men,
bers who would be responsible for
administration of the plan.
Principal purpose of HB 100 would
be to provide a program of group life,
accidental death and dismemberment
insurance and group general or blank
ct hospital, surgical and medical COW
erage for State employees who elect
in writing to come under the program.
The State would pay one-half of the
premium, not to exceed $500 per
month, for each employee covered.
The commission would be empowered
to negotiate and secure on best pos
sible terms, group coverage for par
Elephants in the plan.
Under HB $50, coverage for de-
pendents would have to be paid for
entirely by the employee. Also, under
the bill, the commission would be
authorized to contract for group COW

Greater Incentive for
Volunteer Firemen Is
Senate Bill 1875 Aim

Greater incentive for citizens in
unincorporated areas to join, take
expert training in fire-fighting, and
remain volunteer fire department
members is the purpose of Senate
Bill 78 by McKeon, Siderius, Cum
m ng, Gerard, Edwards and Reardon.
SB 70, which would affect volun-
teer fire departments having an esti-
mated five thousand members, pro-
vides for the payment of retirement
pensions not exceeding $25 a month
to firemen who have had at least 80
hours specialized fire prevention
training and have served in a depart
ment for 20 years or more.
Importance of this type of legisla-
ton is brought into focus by the fact
that sixty per cent Of all volunteer
firemen are members of departments
in unincorporated areas; members
who serve without remuneration to
protect homes and other property in
their communities, whatever the time
of day, or the weather.
Financing of the proposed retire
ment plan would be by designating
