! - - - M - . , . - - JUDGES STAND CHAms HATT0N ARLINGTON PARK, Arlington Heights, 111., June 29. Several columns ago it was estimated that Harry Eads Sir Mango is among the most improved horses in training here in the Midlands. As you may know, he won three stakes at Lincoln Fields, including the climactic Lincoln Handicap, in which he virtually dis tanced a first-rate field. Apparently the Arlington handi-capper, "Pat" Farrell, shares our heightened opinion of the son of Gilded Knight. For we note that he made the robust brown the actual topweight in both Saturdays six-furlong Myrtlewood and Mondays Stars and Stripes, which is at a mile and a furlong on the turf. This is at once a compliment to his capacity and his versatility. Eads has elected to point him for the Stars and Stripes, first of the long and lavish roster of turf features at Arlington and Washington, after which he is to appear for the00,000 Arlington Handicap. Very probably he will be versus the Latin American Iceberg n.; the recent winner, The Eagle; the huge Mister Black, and the Canadian Castleton, among many others, in the holiday stake. A a A Incidentally two of these, Iceberg II. and Mister Black, appeared for last falls Laurel International, in which the former was second to the French Worden n., and the Jatter was struck into and injured. A third, Castleton, who was bred in England, was to have represented E. P. Taylor in the inaugurai of the International, but bucked his shins on the eve of the race. Thus, this version of the .M. Stars and Stripes has distinctly cosmopolitan overtones, lending it a certain academic interest. Since the coordinated Arlington and Washington meets, offer so many Arlington Weights Compliment Sir Mango Stars and Stripes Draws Internationalists Arlington Park Completed in Nick of Time Directors Business Interests Varied generous prizes in competition on the turf, it is not too much to hope that ultimately top flighters developed in other countries will be planed in for them. AAA The extremes to which Ben Lindheimers staff will go to make the public comfortable here and at Washington Park was never more graphically illustrated than on the day of Arlingtons "open house." Five days before this preview of the modernized version of Arlington Park, general manager -Bob Henderson was informed that special protective grills for the new second floor ventilating system would not be completed in time. This was contrary to the way the clubs officials had planned it, for everything had to be shipshape and in place just as if it were opening day. So Henderson contacted the factory in Cleveland and directed them to continue work on the grills, then dispatched a truck and two men from Washing Park to the Ohio metropolis. They arrived there at 1:20. a; m. on Wednesday, waited while the grills were being molded and prepared for shipment, then loaded them while they still were warm and rushed them back to Arlington, arriving on Thursday afternoon at 4:30 p. m. Installation men were waiting, with a crew of painters right benind them, and as fast as the grill went in, paint was applied. By the time the first of the 10,000 visitors were streaming through the new mutuel areas on Sunday, the grills wer"e in place, and another of those seemingly impossible tasks had been achieved by the men who make Arlington Park a sort of turfgoers paradise. AAA Chicago is essentially an industrial center, in fact the hub of commerce in America. There is manufacturing in infinite variety, and there are so many railroad lines it is said that if one enjoys watching trains go by he can see a different one every three minutes. But it is con-jecturable if, in all the panorama of Chicago industry, there is a board of directors more varied in their interests than that here at Arlington Park. President John D. Allen is chairman of the board Qf Brinks, Inc., and chairman of the Chicago and Milwaukee Railroad executive committee. Vice-president Graham Smith is an importer. John B. Gallagher is vice-president of Central Life Insurance and a director of the Milwaukee Railroad. Daniel F. Rice, who is the clubs treasurer, also is one of Americas most prominent grain brokers. Eugene Murphy is vice-president of Brinks. A. G. Cox Atwater is sales promotion evecutive of the vast Wrigley Company. John F. Cuneo is president of the famed Cuneo Press. Hubert E. Howard is president of Shasta Coal Company. Richard M. Moss is chairman of the board of Clinton Foods, Inc. William- J. Sinek is head of the City Products Corporation. Modie J. Spiegel is, in workaday life, one of the firm of Spiegel, Inc., merchants. Henry Straus is vice-president of the Inland Steel Company, and A. D. Plamondon, Jr., is head of the Plamondon Magnet Company. As you . see, when these men meet to discuss the operation of the North Side course, they are prepared to do so with a comprehensive grasp of the state of Chicagos and the nations business. It is not that Arlington Parks operation Continued on Page Forty-Fire JUDGES STAND By CHARLES HATTON Continued rom Page Fifty-Six is particularly commercial, but it does help to know what is feasible from an economic point of view.
