George is training the horses of Sidney A. Alexander; Ben is in charge of a public stable: and Harry, one-time regular jockey for the great mare Princess Doreen. is exercising horses for Ben. . .Robert Mat-tingly, who saddled Dean Cavy for his victory in the Joliet Stakes last year, is on hand with several horses, the best of which is Eljay, who beat some good ones here last season. . Romulus E. Kurelik, the six-foot-three 250-pound gent, who before becoming a trainer studied opera singing and envisioned himself as another Caruso, has taken over seven horses to condition for the Oldehove Stable. Kurelik received his first trainers license at Caliente. Dee Sumpter, general superintendent of Lincoln Fields, reports that work on rebuilding of the track at Crete is progressing slowly but steadily and is of the opinion that the Lincoln meeting being staged at this track will be the last away from the home grounds. . .The six-year-old Futuramatic, who is now a "papa" after having put in a season at stud, easily defeated a bunch of "bachelors" in a race here the other day. . Al Popara, regular rider of the Florida Derby winner, Money Broker, and who was on that colt in the Kentucky Derby when he bumped Native Dancer, would be able to take care of himself if any emergency arose. He was at one time a Golden Gloves boxing champion on the Pacific Coast. Popara still boxes occasionally during the winter racing season at New Orleans. His engagements here are being handled by Gilbert Hardy. Danny McAuliffe, former top stakes rider and now a top jockeys agent, is leaving for Detroit to make the engagements of jockey Eldon Nelson, who is about to stage a comeback. McAuliffe was Nelsons agent when the boy was one of the leading jockeys in the Chicago area several years ago. Nelson rode for such stables at Woolford Farm, Mrs. Ada L. Rice, and John Marsch, and won an Arlington Matron with Lithe. He retired from the saddle two years ago and purchased a cattle ranch at Grenola, Kansas, to settle down with his wife and two young children. The lure of the turf has proven too much, however. McAuliffe has turned the book of jockey Ronnie Baldwin over to Ed Berkes. . .Jockey Willie Cox was a visitor the other morning. States he will not be able to ride for about one month due to his fractured collarbone. He plans a visit to New Orleans before returning to work. Trainer Arthur Trout, who has several horses in his care here, at one time brought Henry Horeno, rider of the last Kentucky Derby winner, to Chicago tracks. Moreno became ill, went to the West Coast for treatment, became a good rider on the Pacific Coast and look at him now! Trout reports that Toy Quay and Valleys Pal, a couple of mares owned by Lucille Trout, have foaled at Woodview Farm, Palatine, to the cover of Battle Fire. They will be sent back to that stallion . . . Seaward, in winning here Friday, made the one hundredth start of his career, and it was his twentieth victory. The three-year-old has earned well over 00,000 in his racing career. His old running pal, Inseparable, also eight years old, who was withdrawn from the race, has started 113 times, won 22 races, and earned 33,180. Their owners, Mr. and Mrs. Allie Reuben, of Toledo, who were here today, are mighty proud of the pair. . Older horsemen here were sorry to learn of the death of Harry Herendeen, an old-time associate, who passed away in Miami, Fla., at the age of 77. Marion VanBerg and his friend, W.
