r i jtiUMandandd."J%and * — ■ j Lincoln Fields Notebook Doff Our Hat to Two Ladies of Turf-Ethel Galliger Bandy, Frances Polley I By J. J. MURPHY I LINCOLN FIELDS, Crete, HI., May 24.— Casting about for an angle regarding the ladies of the turf, it occurred to me that this is the anniversary of my fathers death. The old boy, who passed away two years ago, had all the instincts of a southern r i gentleman: although he was never south of Buffalo, N. Y. I re-i jtiUMandandd."J%and member member a a word word of of ad-# ad- member member a a word word of of ad- vice he gave me as a youngster. It was, "always doff your hat in the presence of a lady." And that brings us more or less to our point. Here and now I will doff my hat to at least two ladies with whom I have conversed recently. One is Ethel Galliger Galliger Bandy, Bandy, whose whose j Galliger Galliger Bandy, Bandy, whose whose j father, the late racing secretary official, Pat Gailiger, was a good friend of ours. Ethel is recovering from a long battle with polio and called to request me to suggest a name for her newly arrived colt from her mare Brilliance, by With Pleasure. We arrived at the conclusion that "With Pleasure," which was one of my dads favorite expressions, had to do with a gentleman and that Brilliance denoted glamour in a sense; therefore, we submitted the name The Guardsman, denoting glamour and at the same time a certain amount of derring-do. AAA Aside from Mrs. Bandy, who is battling her affliction with determination, there is Miss Frances Polley, who had a substantial interest in Lincoln Fields. Many people had their crying towels out for Lincoln Fields during the first two days, bu; not Miss Polley, with whom we conversed prior to the first race last Saturday. "We got off to a slow start,/ said Miss Polley, "but we are certain Lincoln Fields will grow on the public. Dont you like it?" We admitted that we did, and following our fathers advice, we doff our hat to Miss Polley as well as to Mrs. Bandy. AAA It was father interesting to note that the wagering at this track Saturday was greater per capita than that at Pimlico, where the Preakness was run. A breakdown on the figures shows that each person present wagered about 4 at Lincoln Fields as against 2 in Maryland. And we had a pair of two-year-old races as the features here instead of a big three-year-old event such as the Preakness; so dont grieve too much for Lincoln Fields. . Keene Daingerfield, Illinois steward, was among the judges who selected Top Traffic, winner of one of the divisions of Saturdays stakes, : as the outstanding yearling at a show .conducted at New Orleans Fair Grounds last winter prior to the opening of the meeting at that point. Teddy Cox, another official here, who is a friend of owner Sam Wilson Jr., selected the name for the colt, and Coleman Kelly, Chicago breeding authority, suggested the mating that produced Top Traffic. AAA Among the recent visitors was Tom Dug-gan, popular Chicago sports announcer and news commentator. . . . Knox Osborne, Miami trainer, is visiting. . . . Trainer Harry A.

AAA Clarence Hartwick shipped the two-year-old Munchausen back to Detroit following the Joliet Stakes Saturday. He reports that his fine performer, Sickles Image, is not yet in serious training, but is galloping at Detroit. . . . James Bracken is making the engagements of jockey Johnny Lorig-den. . . . Dan Sabath is a regular morning visitor. . . . Angelo Cilio was minus an automobile for his regular Sunday drive. Some absent-minded person removed it from Lincoln Fields Saturday.

He reports that Coffee Money, making his first season at stud, has been booked to 28 mares. The stallion stands at Hurstland Farm, Midway, Ky. AAA Mrs. F. E.
