1 BAY MEADOWS NOTES $, Trainer Willie Crump is bringing several horses belonging to the King Ranch up from Santa Anita and will stable them at Tan-foran to await the opening of that meeting. Joe Wood, former jockey arid later assistant starter for Eddie Thomas, has resigned the latter position and purchased an interest in the sprinter Smart Girl. Eight horses comprising the stable of Dave Butler, Hollywood movie director, are due from Santa Anita. The Butler string is composed of Playback. Indian Dream, Alice Faye, Elseebee, Cloud o Dust, Dashwood and Royal Reigh. Chiana, good route mare owned by S. Giomi, has been fired and will be turned out Lonnie Copenhaver has purchased Maori Girl from Earl Beezley at private terms. Count Atlas, a member of the extensive R. C. Stable, which sustained a bad leg filling his engagement in the Bay Meadows Fashion Stakes, indulged in his first work since the mishap when he was sent a slow five-eighths Wednesday. The son of Reigh Count will be a probable starter in the 5,000 Bay Meadows Handicap, the outstanding stake of the current Bay Meadows meeting. Noble Count, colorbearer of Mrs. M. C. Rush, may change hands -soon if negotiations under way are completed. The son of Reigh Count and Chestie Ann has been inactive for the greater part of the season, but is now ready to compete regularly where conditions suit him. Apprentice Stanley Connell, who has been inactive for the past week due to an infected foot, resumed riding Thursday, drawing the assignments on Miss Jean Chatburns Auxiliary and Gallaclay. .Former jockey Harry Howard has severed his connections as trainer for the stable of Mrs. V. R. Hopper and is assembling a public stable. Howard recently obtained Lee Hastings, via the claiming clause, and plans to add several others to his stable before going to Tanforan. William A. McKinncy, veteran trajner, is the first to signify his intentions of taking his horses to the Longacres meeting at Seattle. McKinney will take six or more from here and take up the three horses he turned out in the Northwest last fall. The three McKinney will return to training are Hydrobel, Maud Hogan and Easter Style. Make and Break and Bonouri, in the stable of Mrs. J. F. Waters, are rounding to normal as well as can be expected after an illness which has kept them inactive for the past ten days. However, it will be some time before they are under colors. There will be some new members in the stable of trainer A. E. Silver soon, as he has four importations from the Argentine. One of the quartet is an own full brother to Amor Brujo. Another in the shipment is named Vino Puro, a three-year-old. Silver could not give the names of the others until the registration papers arrive with the stock. The newcomers will race under the silks of Silver and Luro. Better Bet, a three-year-old which races for Kozinsky Bros, and which was brought here from the Meadowbrook Farm near San Diego, has been returned, due to an infirmity the colt developed when he sustained an injured back at the farm. Better Bet will probably be away from competition for the remainder of the season. Disappointment attended the stable of Miss Jean Chatburn when her Honey Car, a candidate for the impending Kentucky Derby, injured himself while working Wednesday morning. Trainer Charles E. Casey said it would be a few days before he could determine the seriousness of the injury, but said the colt will be out for an indefinite period.
