Has Faith in Big Mac

I am not stuck on passing Opin-

take it as a prejudiced argument.
The performances Of waterboy
stamp him as a great racehorse. You
cannot get away from that BE has
done most everything that has been
asked of him, and. wkile I am not
in position to know Just how good
he is, feel safe in saying that Nc
Chesney is the greater horse. Nc
Chesney can BE trained for a sprint
race or a mile and a quarter handi-
cap, and he will run a race to sat
isfy any man. He viii run you the
first quarter in az, or the last, and,

circumstances and that he had found
nothing to indicate deception.

Griswold "his back showed a heavy
burn, apparently the result of light
ming. There was nothing remarkable
about the case then. and after doing
what l could TO relieve the man | went
to my other patients. 1t was about .
o'clock that was called and told Of the

hours later / again saw him. and there
was the picture, complete and perfect
in It's outlines.
Il do not attempt to explain it. Par
ker, who apparently is truthful and
who seems TO be deeply affected. says
that he was never tattooed. His back
is so burned that it is impossible for
me to tell certainly whether there are
tattoo marks or not. I would say
from what l now know that the pic
ture is not the result Of tattooing. Aft
