MURPHY * HAWTHORNE, Cicero, June 13. — If Ronnie Baldwin, one of the leading apprentices at this meeting, has his wish, he will will remain remain in in the the thor- will will remain remain in in the the thor- thoroughbred industry for the rest of his life. Ronnie, who is 19 years old and comes from1* Warren, Ohio, states, "My ambition is to one day own a farm and raise thoroughbred horses and cattle. I have tried to pick up a few mares to send to my dad for breeding purposes while I am Still Still riding. riding. When When my my r Still Still riding. riding. When When my my r riding iding days days are are over over I hope to become a trainer and later a breeder of thoroughbreds." Ronnie won the first race of his career last July 7 at Ascot Park, Ohio, on Brief Moment, and as this is written his all time score is 115 winners. The boy started out with Joe TjOsen, Ohio turfman, and was with horses a couple of years while during school vacation periods before accepting his first mount. He is under contract to Mrs. Sadye Smith, who has a small string racing here. Baldwin is the youngest of three boys. Both brothers are married . . . Frank Miller, custodian of the jockeys quarters here, will serve as placing judge at the coming harness meeting at Sportsmans Park. . P. J. McMullen purchased Avon Lady from W. H. Bishop and turned her over to R. C. Adams to train. . .Bishop, in turn, bought Mello Jack and Speedy Jet from Felix Rando. The latter, who is planning a lengthy vacation, has turned over Steady Fox to F. P. Aime to train while he and his regular trainer, Anthony Tosa, go to New Orleans for some crab fishing . . E. R. Morris, who has some horses stabled at Detroit, is a visitor. Ike Weil believes he has a good colt in Judge J. B., a two-year-old who made his first start here recently and won at the next asking. Judge J. B. is named for Judge Jacob M. Braude, judge of the Municipal Court, Chicago. Weil formerly served as court bailiff for the jurist. The two-year-old who was purchased at auction for 00, is by Deliberator, one of Weils favorite sires. Weil says the owners, Aarons and Block, would not take 0,000 for him. It may be recalled that Weil bought the stakes runner, Andy B. W. for 00. The returns are not all in at Lincoln Fields as this is written, the meeting still has a couple of days to go, but it seems likely that Elmer Kalensky will top William Hal Bishop as the leading trainer of the session. If so, it will be the first time in several seasons that Bishop has had to take a back seat to any of his fellow conditioners at a Lincoln meeting. We believe that the man from Anna, 111., has been on top for the last five seasons. Bishop and Kalensky, who trains for B. W. Landy, finished all even at Sportsmans Park, with 8 winners apiece. Kalensky is three up on his friendly rival at present. But Johnny Adams is a cinch to repeat for the jockey honors, having almost twice as many winners as his closest rival, John Heckmann, who is sitting out a suspension. Robert McAuliffe is spending a few days here while Fairmount Park is undergoing repairs. McAuliffe says he was "snowed out at Sportsmans Park last Continued on Page Forty-Five v, E b c: P C ci tl a ii in a A H le ley n 1 P. R. ft D H a: ci P S U to — I Lincoln Fields Notebook I By J. J.

Trainer Ralph Salvino has accomplished a small miracle in bringing the bad post actor, Royal Irish, to winning form. Am told that Salvino obtained the consent of the management to school the colt on Sunday, brought along four of his sons to handle the obstreperous fellow, and an alarm clock to simulate the starting bell. The alarm bell rang, the sons shouted, and Royal Irish broke like a fire horse. Such schooling resulted in a 21.80 payoff, and Salvino, owner Jack Zalinger, and all the sons were happy.
