The Reds are generally picked

writer rather leans toward the
Pirates, a smart, fast ball club

Strangely enough. Jim Arthur,
who developed Lang, has also
superintended, the riding education
of Abel. Developing saddle stars
seems to be a habit with Arthur,

Otis, Rodriguez and Robbins. Arthur

Cosden, the oil magnate, who races

ask for Abel.
At present Arthur has no thought

Abels first racing experience dates
from 1920. during the Empire meet
