Russia, has added new fame to his
name Recently Korb had the mount
on Blondel. a rank outsider in the
betting, and he won great race UNI
der the most trying conditions. Al
though the local boy has ridder
many's the horse to victory, and has
led the other jockeys in the number
of wins during a season several times
he appears to be distinctly proud Of
his success in the Trial Stakes. Be-
sides a particularly vivid description
Of the running of the race. younl
Korb inelosed the accompanying pic
ture. which shows him returning
across the lawn. followed by the
horses owner and other stable con-
nections.
The big race, which was worth
10000 crowns to the winner, was held
at Vienna, Austria. and was after &
driving rainstorm. How it was seer
and run, though. is best told in the
following description:
Charles Korb has won more dis
tinction as a jockey by riding Blondel
to victory. The race took place i'm
mediately after a terrific storm, and
the horses raced through water SC
deep that every time a hoof came
down a cascade of water would shoot
gh into the air. Blondel is now
spoken of as of the Derby class, but
before the race he was not even
dreamed of as a possible winner
Prince Lubomirskis Mosci Ksiaze
was the favorite and next to him
Niece, q fine mare, was the second
chance. Blondel was a rank outsider
In the Henckel- Memorial race last
year Blondel. although appearing tc
be even more fit than in the Trial
Stakes, was not able to keep pace
with Mosci Ksiaze But he has
demonstrated conclusively now that
he is slayer. The distance was
1,60O meters and was for S-year-olds
Micze came in second and Mosci
Ksiaze was third"

After the present racing season
Jockey Korb intends to pay a visit
to his parents in Newark He has
not been home in about two years,
which is something unusual for him
His services, however, were in such
demand abroad that he couldn't well
turn the alluring offers down. But
nothing, he says. will be able TO keep
him from visiting his home town this
winter.
The Prudential Athletic Associa-
ton just accidentally stumbled into
one of those peculiar so-called hoodoc
combinations. As usual, the Pru boys
are going to hold a big field day
meet this year, and in the genera
discussion over a date for said event
without even being impressed Will
the jinx, decided on Friday, June 13
1918, as the most convenient time fol
their set of games. After selecting
Olympic Park as the place for tn,
meet, the committee has put it VI
to the association, and while non'
cares to show a superstitious dispo
sition nearly every member of The
committee is winking with the othe
eve The Pru meet is closed affair
for it's own employees exclusively. I
is little outing and part of an after
noon off for some of the boys, all o
whom work hard to make it a sue
cess. 1t is in large manner idea
recreation, and that is just wha
many of the big corporations are nov
striving to give their employees. t.
the credit of the Pru, the Newark in
stitution is early in the field and i
sure to have numerous imitators.

If. as contemplated, an American
team of athletes is taken to compet
in Australia next winter, class will
not be lacking if those who have TIL
affair in charge can secure the mel
they are after The best athlete
now in the game are being invited t
make the trip. and especially thos
who won or showed prominently il
the Olympic games are being urge
to go. Plat Adams, who won tn
standing high jump and who was sec
ond in the standing broad jump a
Sweden, has been rendered an invita-
ton, but it is doubtful If he will b
able to make the tour. Other ath
letes prominent in the East are to b
asked to make the sail, among ther
Mel Shepperd. Abel Kiviat and TIE
Meredith. The venture will be sue
an expensive one and the time re
quired such a long one that NOR
than a little difficulty is sure to b
experienced in securing the leadin
representatives of the U. S. A. to g
to Australia.

The selection of the American rep
resentatives for the Davis GU
matches has been made and sma
surprise has been occasioned by tn
choices. Everybody knew, If the
knew at all. that Maurice McLaugh

be chosen, and, following in close OF

Hackett and Raymond Little. Til

there was a prodigious hue when the
