I TROPICAL PARK TURF NOTES Jockey Hank Mills has been ordered to report to trainer Jim Fitzsimmons. Mills has arranged to pull out Saturday night and will go direct to Aqueduct-Jockey E. T. Moore, who suffered a broken leg as a result of a fall while riding at Oriental Park, is here. Moore hopes to be able to ride again in a month or six weeks. Jockey J. Pollard will leave for his home in California, where he will rest up until the opening of the Kentucky meetings. Pollard will report to his contract employer, R. W. Collins, at Churchill Downs. Reports from the Jackson Memorial Hospital are that jockey Greenwood is holding his own and has a good chance to recover. Charles "Chick" Lang, who rode the great Reigh Count in most of his races, plans to stage a come-back and will again be seen with the colors up at either the coming meeting at St. Johns Park or at Bowie. Lang has been racing some horses of his own, but came to the conclusion that the jockey end was more suitable to him. Mrs. Tom OBrien, widow of the late "Chi- cago" OBrien, was a visitor. Mrs. OBrien has decided to dispose of the Westy Hogan two-year-olds in the OBrien stable. Some of them here are reported to have shown speed in their trials. Val B. Campbell, trainer of the Edgar A. Igleheart horses, dropped dead Friday night at his home after returning from Tropical Park. Campbell was an uncle of the apprentice jockey J. Stout. Mose Lowensiein has arranged to ship the six horses he has at Lexington to Bowie, where they will join the division of the sta-; ble he has been racing at Hialeah Park and Tropical Park. Charles Hughes has arranged to leave for Havre de Grace this week, where he will join Edward Burke; general manager of the plant.
