John Sinclair, his father, waa a druggist and wanted Hurry to follow on. So Harry took a pharmacy course In the University of Kansas. But hard times struck Kansas nud Harry lost the Union Drug store. Q Sinclair next appears to view In Oklahoma a little before the oil fever broke out there. at Ponca City say he worked as a drug clerk and for a abort time as a waiter in a restaurant Soon, however, lie was operating a successful brokerage office. Anyway, lie became locally famous as the owner of the first silk underwear ever seen In the Clierokee Strip. Later he also operated In other towns. Including Bartlesville. Just west of Bartlesville was an oil lease that Sinclair and a baker wanted to buy. The baker bad some money. Sinclair had none. Sinclair went hunting quull with John Vann, a deputy sheriff. Sinclair tried to drag hla gun after hhn fence, llesult No. 1, the through a barbed-wir- e loss of pert of his foot. Result No. 2, $3,000 insurance money, llesult No. A the purchase of tho oil lease, llesult No. 4, Sinclair und the baker disagreed and flipped a coin. Sinclair won and chuse the half which turned out good. He got some producing wells and then and there started Tills was around bis financial climb skyward. He was shrewd enough to see that 1000. rock hound, as the geologists are called In the oil fields, had all the liest of It So he studied the scientific end of the oil business from A to Z. Sinclairs operations during bis finundul rise would fill a book. Ills name Is known In every region of earth. Sinclair, through hla varioua Interests, has holdings pretty much everywhere. lie has concessions in Hnssla, Palestine and Saghalin. He Is stated to own something like 2,000,000 acres In Central America, and concesa 55 per cent Interest In a 45,000,000-acr- e sion In Angola, on the west const of Africa. In the Persian field he Is credited with heating out both the British government and the Stnndurd OIL Sinclair has made two ventures outalde of oil and made both pay. One was baseball. lie was Federal league. one of the big men In the Lota of people lost money In that deal, but not Sinclair; he got out with a profit. The other Is racing. Deciding to have a stable, he bought the horses of Sam Hildreth of the Ban-cocstable, purchased the famous old Pierre Lorlllard place at Jobstowm, N. J., near Harry Payne Whitneys Brook dale farm and with Hildreth began breeding and racing on a big scale. Last year the Kancocas stable,' under Hildreth's management and with Earl Sande as Its premier jockey, stood at the head of American owners with the world-recor- d winnings of $438,349. The star of the Sinclair stable Is Zev, a brown colt by The Flnn-Mls- s Kearney, now a Last year Zev won 12 out of 14 races and old In 1922 Zev won $24,-00-5. $272,008.

They got control of a great acreage In what are now the California oil Holds. Thenceforth tlielr rise to wealth was rapid. Canfield died a millionaire and hla family now lias large Interests In the Doheny holdings. Dohenys" California profits enabled him to spread out Into Mexico. Mexico made It possible for him to spread out all over the world. In Mexico, for Instance, Ills companies own something like 1.4WMWI acres on the east coast. He has sHnt on surface Improvements about a third 6f a billion dollars In pipe-linerailroads, roads, storagek -tanka, refineries and what not. Ills steamers carry so much black gold rat of Tampico thut they have made It, In value of exports, the second port on this continent. Now here Is something that bears directly on Doheny and In a measure explains him. Oil Is the biggest gamble on earth. In every phase of its production the petroleum business Is literally the most highly speculative on earth. When the siiecula-tio- n Is successful, the financial rewards are enormous. Such men ns Doheny come to look on life as a huge gamble. Money cesses to lie money to Mm. It Is power. If he wants a thing, he sees no reason why he should not go and get It Doheny married Carrie Eetelle Iletzold of Marshalltown, Is. He has a magnificent town house In Chester Flare In the heart of Los Angeles. There were some 40 mansions there when he bought He then purchased the entire block so that he could dictate who his neighbors should be. In 1915 the Dohenys were preparing for an orate entertainment. lie thought an apartment house fncing the park was unsightly. So he bought It and moved It a Mock, at a cost of $100,000. At Chester Place he has a vast steel, concrete and glass observatory, 77 by 230 feet It houses one of Dohenys hobbies the largest collection of palms In the world, every known species collected from all parts of the tropics. Another building, specially constructed for the purpose, la said to contain the largest and most varied collection of orchids In the world. Ills estate at Beverly Dills, on the outskirts of Hollywood, Is of vast acreage. It Is one of the show spots of southern California. Dohouy's yacht, the Caslana, said to be the finest afloat. Is 251 fert In length and 83 feet beam ; lta gross tonnage is 1,227 tons. Its crew numbers 38 officers and men. It has a storage capacity for a trip of 7,000 miles. Doheny Is no tightwad. And he Is no piker when It comes to spending. In 1914. when Villa was ravishing Mexico and leaving hordes of starving people In Ms wnke, Doheny filled a ship with $200,000 worth of provisions and sent It down to Tampico for the sufferers. Just now he is bering the entire expense of erecting for St Vincent's Iloman Catholic church In Los Angeles, a new edifice at a cost which may reach a million, lie built and equipped for the Good Samaritan hospital (Epls-cqpaIn Los Angelea, a radium annex at a coat oil-tan- l) as v ? four-year-ol- ar er A $291,275. Zev's victories In the 1923 Kentucky Derby, In the International match race with the English champion Papyrus and In the match race with In Memoriam need no recounting here. If Zev trains on this year, lie will lie one of the American horses to meet the French champion Eplmtnl, who comes over for three fqicriul races this summer at Belmont purk, Aqueduct nnd Lctonin, totaling $100,000 added money. Incidentally Sinclair has at least six entries In ihc lid Kentucky Derby which are considered formidable at this writing. t comSinclair's Intimates soy he Is the pany, an Inveterate practical Joker, and always reedy to take ii sporting ctiiiiMe. He married Elizabeth Farrell of Independence, Ksn., In 1003 and has two children. The Sinclairs live In an spare ment at 975 Fifth avenue. New York, and bavg a country home at Great Neck, I L, of SO acres with a shore front of half a mile. f 3 let X |
