HEADLEY HAS DIFFICULTY FINDING SUITABLE NAMES LEXINGTON, Ky., April 16 Hal Price Headley, president of Keeneland and one of the major breeders of thoroughbreds in the Blue Grass section, has found it a difficult problem selecting names for his large crop of juveniles this year. Headley has followed the practice of selecting catchy names for his homebreds, but had just about given up in despair for :. monicker for the bay filly, by Apprehension Chacolet, which made her debut in the third race Saturday afternoon at the Lexington track and is known as Shakealeg. Shakealeg was the forty-first name submitted to the New York Jockey Club, according to Headley, thus illustrating how difficult it is to submit names that are accepted by the august body which passes on the titling of horses.
