, 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

dangerous as ' tha diver can only sea

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

middleweight at this writing. Th'
-law of tb ring- is simply this: That .
when a champion die th tltl reverts
to th previous holder. . Tbaa, when
Ketchel was murdered, - the crown
shifted back to th brow of Billy
Papke. Papk lost to Frank Klaus on,
a foul in fifteen round over In Paris,
making Klaus th champion. Klaua.
In turn, was' knocked out twlc by
Gorg Chip, who, in bis order, auo
cumbed to Al McCoy In a punch. -
But a long as ther Was a question
about " Papk being tb . legitimate
champion whan Ketcbei . passed awsyt
none of his sueceasors wa looked up
on champion. Tb manager of eei
