MONEY SYSTEM CHANGED Satraac "Will Be C20) and Oa Cs of Shell, and Frizes $400 In Trophies and $1000 la Purses. Br Frank G Menke. , New York. Jul 25 Uhlan, the rac ing whirlwind, never again will be seen In a race, and never again will ap pear on a rac track In exhibition miles, according to the recent an nounemeht of C K. Q. Billings, his tnultl-mlUionaire owner. "Uhlan, like Alexander, has no more worlds to conquer," declared Billings, "and so X shall put him in retirement, ire has done ail that evef was asked of him and has done it well. He has deserved a rest and he ehall get it on my Virginia farm, where he will end his days In ease and comfort."' The passing of Uhlan takes from the turf the greatest race horse that ever was' foaled; a horse that never may know an equal. Uhlan, the perfect horse, today holds practically every trotting record. He has smashed so many track records with his wonderful bursts of speed that it would take an adding machine to compute, them all. And he rounded out his career on October 9, 1111, at Lex ington, Ky., with the most amazing performance of all- trotting a mile, with a runner at his side, In 1:64 y. the best mile ever negotiated by either trotter or pacer. Uhlan holds the world's record foe straight trotting, without the eld of a runnnr as a windshield, with a mark or 1:18, made In Lexington, Ky.. in 1912. Lou DIUon's best was l:5$Vi, made in 1 90S. But this mark is re garded nn at least three seconds slower naturally than the .record made by Uhlan, as Lou Dillon had the pro tection of a windshield in stepping to her record mile, and Uhlan did not Gave Ho Promise. TThlan, sired by Blngen, 2:044. and whoM dam was Blondell, with a record around 2:11, did not glvs early promise of being a real race horse. An a colt he looked somewhat scrawny, end his legs seemed unaulted for the terrific strain of racing. But when he grew to be a two year old. he developed suddenly, but not even then did his first owner, Aithur Parker, ef Bedford, Mass., believe that h aver would take rank even among the second rate trotters. But Uhlan when a three year old, surprised his owner and the sporting world as well, by whizzing along the old Read vllie, Mass., track, hitched to a wagon, In 2:13. In 1907 Uhlan's consistently good work on the. track attracted the atten tion of Charles Sanders, a horse owner of Salem, Mass. lie watobed the black gelding In a number of workouta, and in a number of races, noting his courage and. his stamina. Then he went to Parker, and after some dickering purchased him for $2600. It was in 1909. whert he was a five year old, that Uhlan really startled the sporting world with his wonderful (noril hv travellnor a mile in 202 and establishing a record for five year old geldings. Earlier in the year, beiore Uhlan had made his 2:024 mark, Panders was offered 120,000 for his gelding, but refused to sell. "Uhlan will bring me that much money in prize money in less tnan one season," declared Sanders. "I'll sell him If I get my price. However, $20, 000 Is many, miles away from it. Sold to Prank Jones, But in September of that year, (1910) Banders sold his 'great black bora to Frank Jones, the Memphis millionaire, who was acting as agent for Bluings. The price, $33,000, was about $15,000 leas than Banders would have taken , for bis horse before be stepped to bis 2:024 mark., but Uhlan's feat In traveling at such a speed meant that his daya as a big purse winner were at an end. That mark put him In the topnotch class . where he could find but little compe tition, - ending bis chances at prize money. In 1911 Uhlan was withdrawn from further sartlclpation In purs races. and was groomed for flights against time by Doc Tanner, the veteran reins ' man. la that year Uhlan tied " tha 1:00 wagon record of Lou Dillon, es tabllshed a new wagon record for geldings, trotted a half mils to wagon. In 58 , the fastest time ever mad for that distance, and drew a sulky around a half mile track in 2:03, an other reoord. But it was In 1912 that be made his famoua record a mil In i:&. It waa at Lexington. Ky, on tha last day of tha meeting, that the . famoua black boras atenDed tha first quarter In SO, tha second la 29. tba third in 29, and tha final quarter In 80, setting up tha wonderful l:5 mark. On October 9. 191$, at Lexington, Uhlan onca mora startled tha world by reeling off a mile, with a runner at his side, in i:o4H. Nowhere on the trotting borixon to day Is there a horse that has tha won derful courage, tha wonderful-speed, the willing nature of this great black reldir. and nowhere is there a horse man who believes .that during the present generation, will there come a heme who can equal tn wonaerrui performance of this amazing trotter.

Fancy diving is now considered as difficult an art as fancy dancing, only It la mora difficult for tha diver must do his gyration in mid air with grace and form and make a straight entry into the water. A a rule it take years to turn out a finished diver. Borne divers can do most of th trick but ar never able to attain any de gree of polish. and patience to accomplish anything in the sport, J because In learning a dif ficult dive one is apt to receive many bruises and suffer much pain.

Talt Is th Inventor of th famous "swat th fly" diva, wbloh. surprised the national champion, Conrad Wohl fleld of Chicago, in the exhibition meet July 11 at the Multnomah club tank.

High diving is the last step In fancy diving, aa a perfect entry must be made into tha water to prevent Injury to tha diver. Talt Is the master of tha "Swan dive" from th top platform and also the "back Jacknife" and "one and a half." The latter is the most dangerous as ' tha diver can only sea the water about half of the tim he is In the air. After th first somer sault, the distance yet to fall must b considered Instantly and the diver then proceeds to open from his "Jacknlfe position, which he holds on the com plete turn, to a graceful front dive. It must be well timed or be may land on his stomach or back, ending in. a bad injury and sometimes death as a result of th Jar in striking the sur face.

At that tim Charles, Barney and a bunch of other magnates were about lng themaelvea hoarse In raising each other' bid for a pitcher named Marty O'Tool who, at. that time, was setting the American association on fire with bis wonderful pitching. Well, the bidding finally simmered down to Charles and Barney, the other magnates figuring their bankroll weren't hug enough to enable them to acquire th 8t. Paul phenom. Charles bid $19,000, Barney whooped it up to $20,000, Charles countered with $21,000 and then Barney shot th price to $22,600, Charle . debated - some time about raising tha Dreyfuas ante and then de cided to let Barney have O'Toole, al though Charles surely did want the American association star to bolster up bis then somewhat weak pitching staff. Barney Oot Xomoa. ' Barney got O'Toole, after separat ing himself from $22,500, and he got a lemon. O'Toole never has had a gooa season sine he took up hi pitching chores under th Pirate flag. 60 poor has his showing been this year that Dreyfuss asked for waivers In him, and it look certain now that it will be only a year or two longer before th man' who brought th record price in baseball will find his way back into th minors. .' today as on of th beat pitcher th big league.
