Kentucky Colonels Rise In Wrath At Mr. Fraley BY OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, July 21.—(IP)—The Kentucky Colonels, those benevo lent and altruistic gentlemen con cerned primarily with the improve ment of the breed (of horses, not men) are aggravated tonight, suh, at old “Judge” Fraley’s remarks anent the the excessive shipping of race horses. Our recent piece on the possibili ty of another racing shutdown— followed several days later by the transportation ban—had them so upset that the ice in the mint juleps was playing “My Old Kentucky Home ” against the side of the glass. Nothing less, suh than an un just slap on “the bright upturned face of horseracing.” All I did was say that they were asking for it. And in view of the nation’s transportation crisis I sug gested that it might be wrong to ship a horse called Sea Swallow a matter of 4,273.4 miles in less than two months for a mere five races. I admit I made a mistake. I missed a fast trip from Boston to Chicago which the colt made, while war-weary soldiers on furlough sat on sidings as hoi;se trains whizzed by. You see I was wrong, it should have been 5,317.4 miles for five races within two months. umDrage 10 my remarss is laiien by the Blood Horse, which admits it is “a weekly magazine devoted exclusively to the turf.” It’s a neat little number w;hich throughout the paper shortage found plenty of space for voluminous ads cn amounts obtained by stallions standing in stud, yearling prices and the earnings of said stud horse* in the pursuit of improving the breed. Castigating my jab at said “bright upturned face” ye editor of this blood line chronicle was kind enough to class “Judge Fraley” as one of the “journalistic om nisients who know everything ex cept racing.” I thank you. My city desk takes its own umbrage at classing me as a journalist, but that crack about not knowing rac ing is for sure. Blowing a full “boots and sad dles” to gather all the faithful, ye editor adds that if an “arbi trary government” dares to pre sume that it could shut down rac ing again it had better bewjre of the improvers of the breed. “Things will be a little different the next time,” warns the rearing Blood Horse, indicating that one of the top colonels would dash into the War Mobilization Director’s of fice with the constitution in one hand and a horse whip in the other. “Arbitrary government. . .is what we are fighting against. . .whether it is in Germany, Italy, Japan or the U. S.- A. “ Challenging the ability of the ODT to call a halt on improve ment of the breed—and the inci dental business of horse racing which makes profitable the publish- . ing of the Blood Horse—the editor admits coyly that of course “rac ing people must do all in their power to leave the railroads free.” The righteous editor goes on to sarcastically describe “Judge” Fraley as “this expert on horse racing, ethics and wartime econo my.” I thank you. But the fact remains I’ve never yet come away from a boss track with a deuce in my pocket; ethics are something about which I’ll have to consult Webster and my check book would convine my mother-in-law that economy, in war or peace, is something with which I have only a nodding acquaintance. But frankly, I don’t believe you have to be any such “expert” to know that shipping one race horse a matter of 5,317.4 miles during a war-time transportation crisis isn’t exactly according to Hoyle. Even people selling stud horse advertise ments should be able to figure out that one. _v___ BIG GRID TURNOUT EXPECTED AT UNC CHAPEL HILL, July 21—(AP)— About 75 University of North Car olina football candidates are ex pected to respond to Coach Carl Snavely’s call to four weeks of practice Monday. Forty gridmen who took part in the spring drills will return along with 35 others who enrolled for the new term on July 1.
