.H|LDRETH RETURNS
TOPOWER ON TURF
AFTER TOUGH YEAR
Great Showing in New York
Racing Season Shows
Skill as Handler.

One of the most interesting features
Of the New York racing season thus
far has been the return to power of
the veteran trainer, Sam c. Hildreth,
with the horses now racing under
the colors of the Rancocas Stable, in
which Hildreth and Harry II. Sinclair
are Jointly interested From disss-
trous season last year Hildreth has
recovered to such an extent that he Ia
now leading all other stables by,
wide margin In the number of vic
tories scored in a period of less than
a month
1t is a comeback that testifies TO
the skill of Hildreth as handler OF
racers At the beginning of the 1920
season HiIdreth had what appeared
to be one of the three strongest
stables in this country. In less than
month II was almost completely
shattered. A series of mishaps left
him with but two horses that could
perform with any degree of success.
these being Cirrus and Mad Halter.
This year he has brought his horses
to the races In such excellent condi-
tion that he Ia one of the most pow
erful factors In all of the handicaps.
Mad Halter has already won a place
at the top of the handicap division by
bis sparkling victories: Cirrus has
shown a return to form: Dominique
and Krewer are in the 1rst rank of
sprinters, and Thunderclap has re-
deemed himself for his lamentable
showing year ago. In addition to
these Hiidreth is also racing a con-
siderable number of two-year-oids for
the irst time In several seasons
The one regrettable thing about the
Hildreth stable Is the inability to
bring Inchcape TO the races. II this
$3.50 900 colt was able to race now. he
could probably take down most of the
rich purses offered for three-year-
olds. The three-year- -olds seem to be
a very ordinary lot this year. If their
form so far Is any indication, they
will continue to beat each other all
season like SO many platers. III Inch

little trouble beating the rivals of

stable have scored a number vf sue

Harvard Oarsmen Use
Oars to Suit
Breeze.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 21.
Harvard's freshman crew, now IN
training on the Thames River
for the regatta with Yale. next
Friday, has contributed a new
idea for the books of rowing
experts. Under the direction Of
DR.. II. Heber Howe the Grim
son yearlings trim their oars to
suit the breeze. II the race is
against the wind, they use a mar
row set Of sweeps; If the race is
with the wind, wide, barrel
shaped oars are used.
1t is DIR. Howe's theory that in
rowing before the wind a shell
travels so swiftly that wide oars
are necessary to get maximum
sgrip on the water, and, while in
the air, the blades serve in a
sense as sails and catch the
breeze for forward impetus.
Against the wind the narrowest
effective surface exposed to wind
and wave is best, to his mind.
The success Of the Crimson
freshmen to date had been held
to Justify the idea.

THEY'RE HUMAN
William Anterior Du Puy'

Senator Frank B. Brandegee of Connecticut
had very insstent constituent in town. He
wanted something from the Government and
was determined that his Senator should get it for
him.
Now this Connecticut Yankee at King Nor
malcys Court has his own methods Of sidestep-
ping the insistent constituent and one OF them
is based upon his failure to write his home tele'
phone number down in the book like the rest
Of us. So. II the constituent fails to find the
Senator at his office. he may not thrust the bust
ness of politics into his home by the simple ex
pedient OF ringing him up.
Therefore the very busy Yankee who wanted
something that he thought the Senator could get
for him was much perturbed with finding that
gentleman neither at his office nor the floor
OF the Senate When he found the Senator's
home telephone unlisted. he began to sus
pect that barriers Of design were being thrown
up through which he might not penetrate.
He attred himself. however. In a frock coat
and a high hat assumed air that very
impressive nd presented himself at the Senator's
front door, saying that the Senator had sent for
him. He was told by the butler that the Senator
was not in, which statement he took to be the
truth
VERY we'll" he said, 'Tet me have his mum.
Der, and I will call him up from the hotel"
Under the circumstances. the butler gave this
unlisted number.
The man from Connecticut prowled about that
night and got in touch with a certain group of
for race horse touts. He gave each Of these men
the Senator'S number and told him II he would
call that number at o'clock the next morn
ing he would be given tip on the third race
to be that day.
So it came about that this dignified solon. the
