HAS R j N
LAST RACE

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Gallant
Fox has run his last race. The
mighty champion son of Sir Gal
lahad.Margurite, has been retired
from further competition his
owner William Woodward, an
nounced today. The turf cham
pion will be placed at stud duty
at Claibourn Stud, Kentucky. He
will be shipped to his permanent
home during the ext few days.
Gallant Fox is one of the most
remarkable thoroughbreds of all
time. No horse in the history of
American racing was ever cam
paigned over such a strenuous
series of gruelling races in such
a splendid manner.
The SON Of Sir GalIahad
HIM arguerite, won the
Woods, Preakness. Kentucky
Derby, Belmont, Dwyer, ArI-
ingtOn Classic and Lawrence
Realization. His earnings of
1927 1865 created a new record
on the turf.
The remarkable thing about
Gallant Fox's record is the fact
he was placed in training in
March and won his final classic
in September. No star in the
history of racing in the United
States has ever stood UP under
such a grueling.
The racing public is disap-
pointed Gallant Fox was not able
to travel to Hawthorne for the
gold cup. Had the son Of Sir
,Gallahad III made the trip he
would have increased earnings TO
the point where his rivals would
have little chance of ever reach
ing it.
Gallant Fox was declared out
N the Hawthorne gold cup be-
cause of a slight coughing spell
which laid the champion low in
his Aqueduct barn a few days
ago. Owner Woodward did not
care to take any chance of leav-
ing his great titleholder with a
permanent ailment. Therefore he
ordered his withdrawal from the
Windy City classic.

SCHOOLGIRLS
INTIMATE
MOVE

Rumors have it that the high
school football series will not
be played in the Central Stadium
after this season. The Tech High
School Stadium will be the site,
is the belief.
This was learned today after
faculty advisors announced the
important news item that the
baseball series would be played
at Tech next spring.
The conducting Of the football
series a. Tech would only be in
the nature of keeping all of the
games of the various series under
one roof, at one place, so it
seems.
The past six years has seen
both the football and base
ball series at the Central Sta
dunn. That is, with the ex.
ceptiOn Of the baseball series
Of 1928 when the Eastern
Stadium housed the games.
A football series at Tech would
be all right If the faculty heads
have it Matched. but it can hard
ly be seen the logical thing In
view Of all the success series oi
the past have been while at tht
Central stronghold.
TSe advisors did not come right
out and say that such a thini
was to be, but they intimated a!
much when questioned.
Tech. Of course, has a beautiful
new stadium. a place where every
thing and everybody could be
taken care Of. But to take the
football series there after it has
been at Central SO long would not
be sound logic, Is the belief.
The scholastics really 80 ovel
big financially in the football
games every season. The Centra
Stadium has helped quite mate
rally because Of its established
site.
The idea of the baseball series
at Tech is a good one. The Cen
trail Stadium has long been a poor
place to conduct that series
chiefly because of It's short right
field fence and wrong adjustment
altogether for a baseball game OF
a set Of games.
A diamond series at Tech viii
renew an interest that has fallen
by the wayside in the past two ol
three years. The teams them
selves will like the idea of playing
on a better and larger field and
the spectators also will enjoy
watching the games that much
more.

words OF a little boy
spoken n day about l65
years ago in a home at Durham

had been lost all day in a nearby
forest and. when found. was sitting
composedly on the bank OF a stream
that had stopped his wandering. on
his grandmother's expression Of won
dernent that fear had not prevented
him from quietly awaiting the COM

him and brought him home. the
words quoted were uttered.
That little hoy was Horatio Nelson,
and the words he spoke bore testi-

IN him and that. in after years. was
TO shine forth TO the admiration OF
the world and TO the inspiration OF
the British navy.
Even in his earliest years, the little
Nelson boy seemed 10 regard perils
and dangers and threats that con-
fronted him as CHALLENGES to his
courage and boldly accepted them.
IL was under domination OF this trait
that he boldly ventured alone on a
night-raiding expedition into the
fruit garden OF the stern master OF
the school TO which the child-then
aged nine-was sent following his
mothers death. IL was not for the
fruit he brought back with him that
he had ventured into the forbidden
enclosure-for that he distributed
among his school-fellows-but. as he
himself declared. it was simply be-
cause every other boy in the school
was afraid 10 60.
And in the same early period OF
his childhood the little Nelson boy
registered development OF the high
sense OF duty and honor that later
was 10 join with his courage in max
ing for his heroic greatness. He was
not twelve when, during a holiday
visit home. he was called by his
father TO 20 on an errand that ap-
peared dangerous. The journey had
