Prepares to Wait

Prepares to WaIV
The chauffeur had settled
himself for a long wait. His
boss was in one of the neigh
boring speakeasies and has
never been known to leave until
the last man is out. Accord,
ingly, it looked like a long wait
on a cold night. The driver
made himself as comfortable as
possible under the circumstances
and dozed off.
He was awakened as some
thing or somebody - bumped
into that precious machine.
The driver leaped out to find
himself confronted by four
huge men, all extremely drunk.
The doorman of the cafe was
standing with them.
whats the idea?" groWled
the chauffeur.
The biggest and stewiest man
of the four placed a huge paw
on the drivers shoulder. Or
maybe it was more than a
place; it was a jolt.
"What'sa idea of what?" he
muttered. You got any OBJ
jectionsh if I sit on back Of
your car? Have you?"
Tells His Dream
He began to shake the driver.
The other three men, plus the
doorman, gathered around the
chauffeur. It looked like the
beginning of a massacre. The
doorman spoke first.
You better talk up" he cried
menacingly. This gentleman
asked you if you minded him
sittin' on your car. Do you?"
The chauffeur didn't hesitate
too long. This was no time for
hesitancy. He addressed the
huge stew. And he grinned
rather feebly.
Il don't mind at ALL" he re-
piled. Just let me tell you why
I was so startled. I was Sleep
ing in the front there, and this
is a brand-new car. My boss
only hired me a few days ago,
and I got a wife and a coupla
sweet little kiddies.
When you jumped on the ma
chine like that, I was dreaming
that the boss was giving me a
lecture. He was sitting in the
back seat and telling me that if
I ever had a smack-up, I was
fired. just then came your
jump. And I thought I had
run into another car"

Little hope Of getting Phar Lap the red terror from down under" in the best of condition for the $50,000 Agua Caliente Handicap, March 20, is held by Trainer Tom my Woodcock in a letter to our racing expert, Orlo Robertson.
 Although not attempting to build up an alibi in advance for the Australian champion, Woodcock is certain Phar Lap will not be the wonder horse" of Australia, where he won 36 of his 50 starts and $282, ,220.
 Here's what he writes:
 Since arriving in the United States and Mexico, we have had nothing but cold, wet weather. This has had detrimental effect upon Phar Lap As we only had nine weeks in which to prepare him for the handicap, you can see it will be nearly impossible to get him in excellent condition by the 20th of March.
 We are certain that in this short time, he will not be up to his real Australian form.
 Shakes Cold
 A slight cold slowed up Phar Laps training and was partially responsible for his cancellation of the proposed $l0.000 special race between the foreigner, Dr, Free land, Marine and Plucky Play Phar Lap has shaken off practl- cally all of the ailment now, how ever, and is showing improvement in his workouts.
 Upon Phar Laps showlngs in the Mexican feature depends WneDher he will be shipped east for cracK at Twenty Grand and Mate.
 If he does invade the strongholds of the American runners, Arlington Park, with three rich stakes TOT older horses, appears to be the likely spot. Entries for practically all important early eastern handi- caps have closed.
 No future plans have been made as vet, however, according to Wood cock.
 .It all depends upon his form here" said Woodcock writing from Agua Caliente.
