NICHOLS Unittd Pren Fwturt Writer Li.i'.ffl frill 'TT 1 24Y, Y ' 9095 141 Washington 'UP) When you bet on a plug that runs out of the money at the track, per haps you often wonder how he got his name. Well, across the many years, accord i n g to the Jockey Club, which is high class enough Harm an Nichols to have offices on Park ave., in New York, you hardly can tell. Take a horse called "Repeal" that one was easy. He was sired and saddled up right after the big experiment. A horse named "Hangover" came along a little later, or maybe he should have preceded "Repeal." But a nag called "I Owe You" running cur rently gives all horse players more than a little pause. Naming a horse is no simple matter, according to the club, which has a strict set of rules. A fellow with enough dough to breed and train a blueblood can name a foal without fee if the name is claimed and filed by Jan. 1 before a horse legally is two years old. After that there is a S50 penalty. No colt may run around an swering to the name of another Office Set Up To Handle KF Damage Klamath Falls U.R) Insur ance men set up an emergency temporary office here today to expedite the handling of hail damage claims resulting from storms on July 10 and 12. Representatives of the Klam ath Falls Insurance" Agents as sociation and the Capital Stock Insurance Companies General Adjustment bureau met last week and decided to open the temporary office to expedite the settlement of hail damage claims. At least six adjusters have been brought in from other areas plus a special group of stenographers to speed the settlements. , horse by the same moniker. I A horse may carry no more (than 16 letters, or more than i three words in his name. You can't name a horse after a liv ing being without the person"s 1 permission. i Initials like "COD." and , "F.O.B." are. for some reasons, j not permitted. Famous horses like "Man-O-War," "Count : Fleet" and "Nashua" are sure to go down in history without dup lication of name, although there may be a combination of dam and sire. Ev Gardner, the sports editor of the Washington Daily News, is a collector of odd information about horses' names. He likes to tell about a horse owner named Col. Isidor Bieber, who some times carries world affairs into the naming of the tenants of his stable. In 1943. when we were play ing at cooperation with the Ruskies, the colonel honored a couple of his oats burners with handles like "Russian Valor" and "Russian Action." One of Oddest One of the oddest, though, was a thoroughbred, which eventually went to his reward in a stable fire in Kentucky. Name was "Under The Rug." His next of kin were "Sweep All" and "Hidden Dust." Alfred Vandcrbilt was a great one to hook up the dam with the sire on names. One was "Native Dancer," whose folks were "Polynesian" and "Geisha." He also had a horse named "Buffet Supper" by "Dis covery" and "Self Service." 'Not That" was by "On Trust," and "Stock Market." Getting back .' to the Jockey Club, it is against the rules to name a candidate for the glue factory after a book, play, movie song or magazine. Horse owners get sore for re peated rejections of names and one owner, as a joke, suggested "Unameit." It was okayed, but didn't wind up very often with garlands around the neck. Mrs. Payne Whitney came up fine when she christened a colt "Shut Up" on a son of "Goose Egg." And her son, Jock, named another son of "Shut Up" "One Hitter."

Sweefland Lauds Volunteer Firemen Oregon City (U.R) State Sen. Monroe Sweetland of Clackamas county told the Clackamas county fireman's as sociation here last night the great contribution of the volunteer fireman is enough to ask with out having them constantly con cerned about the welfare of their family in the event of death or injury. "The policy of care for the fireman and his family in the event of injury or death should be one to encourage volunteers to such a commendable cause, not to discourage it," the Demo cratic nominee for Secretary of State said. Sweetland said, "The state should offer leadership for such a program. But it will only if the firemen and other commun ity leaders insist upon full con sideration of the report of the Interim Committee on Subur ban problems at the next legis lative session."
