Wilson 6-Horse Hitch Will Be Hinky-Dinky Visitor Saturday A massive team of champion- ship Clydesdale horses will ap pear from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of the Hinky Dinky supermarket at Platts mouth. The horses, which are spon sored by the Wilson and Compa ny, will be hitched to a show wagon. Inside the Hinky-Dinky store Wilson men will give away balloons and cardboard cut-out models of the hitch. Wilson's Six-Horse Hitch, which has just won the nation al championship for the 20th time in 35 years, pulls a wagon which weighs 4,500 pounds when empty. It is one of the actual wagons used to deliver meat from the Chicago Stockyards 60 years ago. At that time each of these wagons and hitches often car ried as- much as 12,000 pounds of meat products into the Loop area. . . - t The original wood has been carefully preserved and repaint ed each year. The Wilson Hitch has traveled across the country many times since its inception in 1917 and also has been ex hibited in England, Wales, Scot land and Cuba. The Clydesdale are larger, more expensive and rarer than ordinary breeds of horses, and the cost of their upkeep might be compared with that of a rac ing stable. An ordinary horse is about 15 hands high, a hand being four inches, and the horse being measured from his withers (top of his shoulders) to the ground. The Clydesdale in the Wilson Hitch, on the other hand, measures as high as 18 hands or more. The lead horses are the small est, standing about 17 hands, one inch. The swing or middle pair in the hitch reach 17 hands three inches, and the largest are the wheel horses (nearest the wagon) which measure more than 18 hands high. Some idea of the size of these massive Clydesdales is gained from the fact that it takes three and a half pounds of steel for each shoe. The expensive show harness for each horse weighs more than 110 pounds and is made from top-grain leather trimmed with solid brass. Various parts of the harness are made in this coun try and other sections are imported. players now on the Cardinals' major league roster were dis covered in tryout camps. Pitch er Harvey Haddix, Rookie Third Baseman Ken Boyer and the in comparable second baseman, Red Schoendienst. Cardinal Manager Harry Wal ker, pointing out the opportuni ties for young players in tryout camps, said: "Don't be discour aged if you're not as good as the ms.jor league players right now. Come out to the tryout camp, anyway. Remember that great stars like Haddix and Schoendienst and a fine rookie like Boyer were once raw and green, "They didn't always pitch, or hit or field as ' they do now. They had; to learn how, and wThen they did, the Cardinal or ganization was equipped to give them their big chance in the major leagues." U. S. INCOME w t For the first time in the his tory of the country, estimated annual income figures not only had reached but also had topped $300,000,000,000, according to the Office of Business Economics of the U. S. Department of Com merce. The May Figures, re cently released, were $2,000,000, C00 ahead of the annual rate re ported for April, the former rec ord month, and $14,000,000,000 higher than those for May, 1954. Cards Tryout Camp Set Omaha Aug. 22 A St. Louis Cardinal baseball tryout camp will , be held at Municipal Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 22, 23 and 24, it was announced today.
