The racer was brought to Saratoga in 1919 as a two-year-old by Trainer J. Carroll. He was gt\'en a thorough tcout at the track, but failed to reveal any signs of speed and finally was sold for $5 to James H. Xing, Jcrmer chief of police at Sarctoga. King turned the horse out on the farm of Joseph Morrlssey, also of the Springs, and gave it a long rest, after which he wais sold for a nom- inal sum to Mrs. Reginald W. Du- rant, under whose colorji "Invinci- ble'* is now running. Mrs. Durmnt is a resident of Saratoga. of mizinip with the higher class of player.<i. In addition to the pub- licity for the club, the players will receive payment, and that appears to be the main object sought by the players. Whether they will cpntinue in that class will depend upon the result of the first showing. Regard- less of the result of the Sunday con- test, the theatrical aggregation will appear at the Polo Qroond next Monday against Tesreau's Bears in a benefit game for the B^vening Mail's Save^a-Home'Fund. two homers by the «^-townenk True to its promise the Saratoga Racing Association has spared neither time nor money to make Its track the finest in the country. Workmen have been busy since last fall impioving and beautifying the grounds and now have everything fit for a king. The steeplechase course has been entirely rebuilt and brightened with young evergreens. A new hedge has been installed at the turn of the course. The arti- ficial lake, 600 feet by 127 feet, lo- cated in the centre of the track, has been completed and the front of the grandstand widened. The ap- proach to the park has been im- proved, space for automobiles en-, larged and everything possible done for the comfort and convenience of patrons. A rumor has leaked out laddie Colhns, star second baseman of the Chicago White Sox, may cottis t6 the Tanks within fi few days. In exchange for this middlsssck pro- tector.

Yn demonstrated again last week its right to the title "The Jinx." Jack Bestle made another attempt to open his boxing club, but met with dire failure. Only 11 per- Kons were in the house and the bouts accordingly were called off. The new Chad wick Athletic Asso- ciation on the Troy road seems to have the call among fight f^s in the Capitol District and Bestle prob- ably will not try to buck it during the warm weather. He was sus- pended ' by the Boxing Commisyion early in the spring for failure to pay the State tax. About a month ago he arranged a card and three- sheeted it all over towh that he would reopen. At the last minute, however, the authorities stopped the show because the promoter had not settled accounts with them. Since that time it is understood he paid the. money due the State. ■'^•rfuing copy tor tike Loew Special Number should be at once forw&rded — Advertising rfttes unchanged (ox U Someone naming himself A.
