I ARLINGTON DOWNS NOTES I j 3 Mrs. Tom Marshalls Solar Maid, which was bitten by a black spider, is reported to be in a critical condition. The first division of Herbert M. Woolfs Woolford Farm stable leaves here the latter part of the week for Churchill Downs. Trainer Ben Jones will transfer the others of the large establishment next week. Jockey G. Dobson had his first mount of the meeting when he rode Swifty in the second race Tuesday. R. R. Greenlees Fickle Chance arrived from Hot Springs and was turned over to Marion Allen to train. Billy Neal was suspended for the remainder of the meeting for rough riding at the lower turn in the eighth race. Stake blanks for the Washington Park meeting were received by Roy Dickerson and are being distributed from the racing secretarys office. Will H. Carroll, Jr., Tennessee turf enthusiast, arrived by plane Mondax night and will stay over at Arlington Downs for several days, after which he plans to continue his air jaunt to the Pacific Coast. Carroll, one of the best known cotton men in the nation, is a keen student of the thoroughbred and has been identified with the sport for many years. . Placing judge L. C. Bogenschutz will make a quick getaway Friday from Arlington Downs. Bogenschutz is associated with the secretarys office at Churchill Downs. Jack Dempsey, former worlds champion heavyweight boxer, who will be in Dallas Thursday night to referee two of the matches on promoter Dick Griffins program at the Dallas Baseball Park, will be E. Paul Waggoners guest at luncheon in the clubhouse at Arlington Downs on Thursday, after which the old Manassa Mauler will remain for the afternoons racing. One of Thursdays races will be named for Dempsey, who will return to New York Friday morning. Mrs. John Collier, Fort Worth, will represent the Schenley organization and present a solid silver trophy, suitably engraved, to the owner of the horse winning the Schenley Handicap Wednesday at Arlington. After several attempts, during which many of the finny tribe went on to the piscatorial heaven, E. Paul Waggoner has decided that the fountain in the clubhouse grounds will not do as a hatchery and therefore has instructed the groundskeeper to move all the fish that have been there since the opening of the meeting over to the lake in the infield. This spring, Mr. Waggoner tried black bas, perch, crappie and mud cats, but none of them seemed to enter into the spirit of the thing, so they are now disporting themselves in the larger confines of the lake, one of the largest bodies of water on the Waggoner tract. R. R. Greenlee purchased the two-year-olds Trans Wynn, Mere Frolic and Rolls Nice from Mrs. F. W. Ebbert. Marion Allen will train the trio, which were broken and formerly trained by William Hinphy.
