Some years ago two horses were
running on the metropolitan tracks
whose names caused much amusement
| nearly every time they ran. One was
called Don't Know and the other
| Can't Tell 1t was a frequent occur
rance when either one of these horses

would answer, in response to the query.
Who do you like?' 4 don't know,
which in many instances resulted IN
the questioner betting on the horse
and winning bet which was far from
] the judgment of the informer. In the
! case of Can't Tell. in response to the
1 inquiry Of who do you think viii
! VIM the answer being Cant tell,
many bets were won on that horse
/ when he was not considered to even
have a chance.

| thurman, is creator of the Marchmont

/ Little Marchmont. Ask Ma, owned by
! Mr.. Fuller, is by MarchmOnt Il out Of
! Don't Ask Me, w9O in her day was the
! cause Of much confusion in racing cir

The old bromide, "its an i'll wind
that blows nobody good" is exempli-
fled by the war in Europe which has
/ had the effect of causing the return to
! this country many of Americas star
| riders who have been abroad during
! recent years. Among those who have
| returned are Jodnny Lotus and Teddy
[ Rice, the former having ridden in France
| and the latter in Germany. Upon re-
1 turning to the saddle in America both
| boys rode winning races the first time
| they faced the barrier. Lotus had the
| leg up on Ben's Brother, a Texas bred
| horse, and the latter on the old cam
] paigner, Black Mate.
Each Of the two riders clearly
l demonstrated that their sojOurn
! abroad did not cause them to lose any
! of their old time skill and they are to-
| day two of the greatest race pilots in
| this country. The riders returned to
/ the states when the war resulted in
] the lid being clamned down on the
/ sport Of '0tngs in France and Germany.
! Before they left the two riders said
many of the big racing stables in those
I countries we're being given to the army
! by their wealthy owners &" he used as
] cavalry horses. There was a great
| scarcely of l0rses at the outbreak of
! the war and since trat time thousands
I of valuable thorOughbreds have been
/ pressed into service.
