I Jersey l Report By FRED GALIANI Michigan Mile Lures White Skies May Have to Tote Only 1 18 Pounds Bold Command Speedy Juvenile MONMOUTH PARK, Oceanport, N. J., June 15: Owners and trainers of horses pointing for the Michigan Mile on July 10 will will have have good good cause cause will will have have good good cause cause to do some worrying after Wednesday. Last night Tommy Root, trainer for William Wickhams White Skies, flicked his tongue over an envelope flap and dropped the crack sprinters nomination into the mail box. The Golden Sun Again horse, who was was beaten beaten under under a a was was beaten beaten under under a a 136 pounds by the featherweighted Master Ace here Saturday, is also eligible for the Carter Handicap, a seven-furlong race at Aqueduct on July 5 with a value like the Miles of 0,000. Weights for the Carter are not yet out, but undoubtedly, you may be sure the connections of White Skies are giving serious consideration to sending the fireball to Detroit. What could be a most deciding factor is that the Mile is a weight-for-age race and, under the allowance conditions, at this moment White Skies would get in with 118 pounds. Not since last September 25, when White Skies won the TRA Stakes at Atlantic City, under 118, would he have a chance to get in a race so lightly rigged. From that time he has carried 126 and up. This year his assignments have been 128, 130, 132, 135 and 136 pounds. A package of 118 looks very alluring at this stage and would be undoubtedly attractive after the Carter weights come out, assuming the poundage continues in the same high brackets. T With Joe Culmone back to the winners circle on Bold Command yesterday, he enthused "hey, this is a fast horse." He seemed surprised when he was told the first time starter had broken the four-year-old five-furlong record, lowering it to :58. The former mark was held by Lord Putnam, a son of Requested, as is Bold Com mahd. This was the second mark shattered in two days and others have come perilously close to being fragmented. Two fillies, one by Billings and the other by Best Seller, are the only foals at George Howells Tourelay Farm this year. Both are the property of Mrs. W. E. Snell. Getting his chance at stud there is Vineland, who has been bred to eight mares this year. Yineland had been previously sent to only one mare and the result was the present sophomore, Pun-kin Vine, a recent winner at Garden State. These last few days have been extremely gray and overcast, but they appear sunny to George, who is equipped i with a set of glasses designed especially for night driving. Similar to the type of Sun glasses one clips on spectacles here, these yellow tinted imports from London amazingly brighten up ones view, as if a yellow light were cast on the scene. The night glasses were brought back by Mrs. Howell, who just returned from a two-month tour of England. r Jimmy Conway returned to New York after saddling Grecian Queen and Tiny 1 Request for Mrs. B.
