Kurtsinger in Saddle

AL the interest in the sixty third
running Of the classic ceaters on the
first meeting Of Jamestown and
Twenty Grand and no number OF
other starters could give the renewal
a greater Importance.
Charlie Kurtsinger, who has rid
den Twenty Grand in all of his en-
gagements this season and piloted
him to victory in the Kentucky
Derby, will have the leg up on that
colt while Linus (Pony) HTcAtee will
ride jamestown.
jamestown had his final prepara-
ton for the big prize when he GAL
loped along through the mud for a
mile and three furlongs and was
pulled up at the end in 2:25.
It was particularly impressive
move, for Jamestown was well in
hand all the way and was pulled
up ct the mile and three furlongs,
which he completed in a fashion
indicating a readiness for the mile
and half Belmont distance. Nc
Aztec was in the pilot house.
Sun Meadow Dull
Sun Meadow also had his final
practice trip and went the mile and
a quarter in 2:084-5. He was
bree2ing all the way and was full of
run at the end Of the mile and a
quarter
Seldom in the history of the Bel
mont, or any other classic, have two
great colts been brought up III such
perfect condition and so evenly
matched. There appears to be little
to choose between the stars who
probably vii settle the 3-year- old
championship in this race, and the
probable muddy turf should favor
neither as both have shown ability
to run under any kind Of conditions.

Predicts Success For
Struggle For
Autonomy

ALLAHABAD. India, Feb. 4. [R)
-Malsatma Gandhi. breaking his
silence to address 100000 natives
here today declared that 1t was
written in heaven that midas
struggle for complete independence
would end VIGOROUSLY.
Squatting half nude on the open
air platform, he offered thanks
for the great sacrifices OF the peo-
pie" during the nine months he
spent In prison. The great throng
OF white robed men. women and
children. stood %reverently, straining
TO catch every word. The gather
ing was like a gigantic American
revival meeting with the congrega-
ton shouting the Indian equiva-
lent for amen.
Our women who were considered
absolutely ignorant abandoned their
seclusion at the nations CALI he
said. They even offered their
children in the fight for liberty and
any number OF families would VIII
lingly have given one Of their circle
for the national struggle"
In a fight with guns old men,
women. boys and girls are exempt
but In our holy crusade everybody
can participate. God Is with us.
IL is written in heaven that victory
IS bound TO come if we follow the
path Of truth and non-violence."
Those engaged in this struggle
for independence. he said, have
taken a pledge before God and the
world to carry on peacefully.
IF we violate that pledge we will
be cheats before God and the
world" he said.
Turning TO his spinning wheel.
he exhorted every man. woman and
child to continue making homespun
yarn as a national duty for only
through the spinning wheel can we
become independent OF foreign
cloth and foreign domination"
He urged his people TO abandon
drinking and gambling. for II our
government falls into hands poll
luted with misdeeds our country
will be ruined"
