They are both fine in their particular fields and until the weatherman can figure out a day that is dry and wet at the same time no one will be able to figure out how these two horses compare Johnstown appeared very uncomfortable in the mud at Baltimore a tremendously long free strider on dry footing he gave the impression of mincing like a woman crossing a wet street in the mud at the Preak He had shortened his stride almost to a chop at the mile and from that point on went completely to pieces DibtHhd inn Bottled bv The Baltimore Pure Rye Distilling Co Dundalk Md OLD tXUZZLEPUSS IBED HIM LIKE THE SHOT THAT VAS HEARD ABOUND WANT HEARD IT THE OLD MANS STENOSANS HE WAS I LkIVVA I rv im His MORE CHANCE Yankee line up within 10 days or so he says Bad news for Oene Bonin Patrick Edward Comiskey the punching Irishman returns to the wars against him tonight and that loud raucous laughter you hear is coming from the throat of Mickey Cochrane as he notes where the Tigers are in the American League Ten nis moguls are trying to get the stars to abandon spiked shoes for herring bone soles to save the grass and that reminds me Davis cup chances will be mighty slim If the army continues to hold their two aces Yvon Petra and Pierre Pelllzza Did you know that Leo Durocher fast as he is has stolen only 28 bases in 12 years in the ma jors?

No body has been able to tell How ever there are many theories but all without concrete foundation Some contend that horses possess ing small feet are able to negoi ate the deep footing contending that because of the size the horse is able to draw the foot from the heavy mud with the least resls tence Then there are others who that those with broad rounded feet are more capable for this effort believing that the larger feet will not sink as deeply and consequently their running is less tiring These are only per sonal conclusions and have been found wanting in real facts Ability Inherited The only substantial knowledge which reveals any enllghtment upon mud running horses is that it is definitely a hereditary char acteristic There are families which means strains of individual blood lines that transmit the powers of running on either fast or slow going This ability was handed down strongly to our Maryland Preakness winner Challedon through his sire Every horse sired by Challenge 2d can run as well or better in the mud as on a fast track Pompey a son of Sun Briar and Cleopatra is an other sire who passes on this strong tendency 105 Hurdy Gurdy 105 Tulavrlaa Lad 110xHaaratown
