Brings $8,200. New York, June 7.~~The Harvester (2:01) champlon trotting stallion from lcuit and holder of several world's | records, was sold under the hammer |for $30,100 .at the dispersal of the harness racing stable and breeding jfarm of C. K. G. Billings in Madisor: ISqul.x'Q Garden yesterday afternoon. Paul Kuhn, a grain merchant of Terre Haute, Ind., acquired the big brown son of Walnut Hall and Notelot atter a spirited bidding match with Rich- . d Delafleld of Tuxedo and Walter R. ‘OX..

He is here shown shoving his right across for . Uncle Sam, trying to land a solar plexus blow on Germany. Leonard has just finished signing up an application for $6,000 worth of liberty loan bonds. “I am not ouly trying to do my bit; I am trying to do my double bit,” said Benny. “I am going through 'with my announcement that I am going to enlist in the army. I hope that will persuade other young fellows to do the same, because I believe I can truly say I will be giving up more than most chaps of my age. As champlon {1 could make all kinds of money on | the stage, in the movies, in the ring, but I am going to work for Uncle Sm first. And I want some of my money to work for him too.” et e e e e e e e e e e famous horse in Willlam, world’s champlon five-year-old pacer several seasons ago. The bay stallion, which has a race record of 1:58 1-2, was sold for $8,000 to Crouch & Son of Lafayette, Ind. It is understood they acted as agents for A. E. Van Atta of Otterbein, Ind., who bred the horse and sold him to Mr. Billings for $35,000. ‘The third star to go under the ham- mer was the great Directum I., con- signed by Tommy Murphy of Pough- keepsie, famed driver of the big cir- cuit. The son of Directum Kelly and Izetta, with a pacing record in open of 1:56 3-4, made in Syracuse in 1915, was the leading light of a miscellan- eous lot.of horses consigned by own- ers throughout the country. He brought only $8,200 and went to S. \8. Shuster of Ellenville, N. Y. Last summer Directum I, which was bred by James Butler, was used only for exhibitions against time, his best effort being 1:59 3-4 at Pitts- burgh. Directum I. will be cam- paigned on the half mile tracks. ‘While the sum obtained for The Harvestsr was' & £00d - onme for ‘war times, it was far below what Mr. Bil- lings had been offered in past years. Three separate offers, one from Rus- sia, sought the stallion at $100,000. The sum realized is the greatest yet obtained for a trotting stallion in the Garden and comes within $900 of the record price paid for a trotting stallion at auction. At Readville, Mass., in 1904 Bingen was sold for $32,000. In the Garden the old rec- ord-price of $30,000 was paid for Todd in 1907. A horse that took a big fall from high caste was the imported Russian Orloff stallion Bion, for which Mr. Billings paid $20,000. Bion was sold for only $450 to John Coggeshall of Providence. The Billings consign- ment consisted of seventy horses and it brought $80,100. The prices In the main were very low. ZBYSZKO BEATS LEWIS. San Francisco, June 7.—Wladek Zbyszko of Poland took a flying fall and the decision from Ed (Strangler) Lewis, in a two and one-half hour wrestling match here last night. WAGNER RETURNS to Terms With Dreyfuis and Dons a Pirate Uniform. Pittsburgh, June 7.—~John .Henry | (Honus) Wagner, star shortstop, who failed to report to the Pittsburgh Na- tionals at the beginning of the sea- son after twenty years as a player in the National league yesterday signed a contract with President Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh club. It was announced that Wagner will ap- pear at first base in tomorrow’s game with Brooklyn- No statement was made as to the salary Wagner will receive under the new contract. For the last two years, it 1s said, he has been receiving a salary of $10,000, and according to pome reports it. was because of a re- duction that the veteran shortstop failed to report this spring. Officials of the club at various times announced that Wagner had mnot joined the team on account of busi- ness interests. Despite predictions and rumors, Wagner refused to make an announcement that he had retired from the game. For more than a week it had been persistently reported that Wagner; would rejoin the club, and {t was known that he was being urged to do so by many who attributed this year's slump of the Pirates to his absence. After signing a contract, Wagner sent. the following telegram to August Herrmaan, chairman of the National Baseball Commission: Finding the call of baseball too strong to resist, I desire to con- tinue to play the game I love and to which I owe all I possess, and T hereby petition the National Com- mission to grant my request for’ reinstatement so that I may play with my old club \tomorrow. Cincinnati, Ohio, June 7.—Augustus Herrmann, head of the National Com- mission, reinstated Hans Wagner to- day. KILBANE DISAPPOINTED. Johnny Kilbane, in speaking about the Leonard-Welsh go the other day, said: *“I was in hopes of meeting Welsh for the title this summer and for that reason I am a bit disappoint- ed over the result of the battle. But my disappointment is not so keen that I can overlook Leonard's great work. H a real champion and dcserves the laureis he won. But I want to say this: “I will never take a beating ltke Welsh did when I lose my title. When, I get in such shape that I cannot protect it like a real,’ champion, I shall retire.” LEONARD OFFERED $10,000, ‘The management of the St. Nicholas rank in New' York yesterday offered a purse of $10,000 to Benny Leonard for a ten-round bout with the win- ner of the Joe Welling-Johnny Dun- dee bout which will be staged in New York tonight.
