Race Track often
Is the Setting of
A Great Drama
By JACK KoFOED

NEW YORK, Jan. II. - The
May breeze frolicked among the
blossoms like a night club dancer
among her balloons. The air was
fragrant with scent and the blue
Of the sky was the blue of an
angels eyes.
Old Man Tanning strolled into
the Fair Grounds at st. Louis,
gaunt, Wintry.taced veteran of the
race tracks in a frock coat and
silk hat. His long, cred beard and
the naughty tilt of his head was
a common sight there. He had
been trainer for Col. Richard
Rowett in the days when the great
Pontiac carried the Rowett colors
... and the players hated him
because his head was in the
clouds.
But the colonel and his wife
died, and Old Man Tanning, with
the Pontiac colts and fillies and
the farm at Carhnsville gone into
other hands, had become no more
than bald and rather tired
tradition.
He didn't realize it until he en-
tered the scale room under the
judges stand, where the clerk
was giving out badges to those en-
titled to them.
Rebuffed by Clerk
The clerk noted the entrance
of Old Man Tanning. In other
days he had tipped his hat
humbly to the patriach. . but
with neither respect nor liking.
So now he said arrogantly:
Badges are issued only to
bona fide owners, trainers and
Jockeys. Do you own a hOsS,
Mr.. Fanning?'
The old man shook his head.
"Are you trainin' for some
Stable?"
The grey whiskers moved mega
lively.
"NOthin' dOin' then. Move
along and give the next man a
chance"
Old Man Tanning went out into
the May sunshine. He was down
hearted and depressed. When the
mighty fall, they find it hard to
understand. He couldn't quite get
it through his head what had hap
pened to him. But there were tears
in his eyes.
Heavy of Foot
His heavy feet dragged along
the race track lane. He knew every
foot of it. There was the Santa
Anita Stables from California.
You could tell it by Lucky Bald
wins colors, the black Maltese
cross on the drab jacket some
jockey had hung out to dry.
There was the Corrigan green
and white. Next to Corrigan'S was
the string of Milt Young, whose
black and white stripes had led
the van so often when the Ken
lucky fliers, Bancroft, Bootjack
and Beatitude carried them. And
the Dwyer lot, Miss Woodford,
Luke Blackburn, AranZa and the
others who wore the red cap and
blue sash.

| Died With q Smile

In other days Old Man Tanning
had trained in this royal circle.
Now no one was willing to give
him even a nod Of recognition.
The bearded trainer was a hard
man, but he couldn't stand this.
The race track had been his life,
but it was no longer. He had out
lived both his pride and useful
ness. Head bowed, he walked to-
ward the gate. The sun no longer
Shone. There was no brightness in
the heavens.
Pleasant Greeting
"Hi-yuh, Mr.. Fanning," said a
Southern voice.
The Old Man looked up into a
smiling face.

said.
It was pleasant to have some.
one address him, even though it
was man who had borrowed corn
meal. potatoes and pork chops in
the days that were gone.
"Sumthin' wrong, subj" asked
Bill.
So Old Man Tanning unbur-
dened himself. He had to talk to
somebody. He had to get this in.
dignity off his chest. What If he
didn't own a horse, or wasn't train
ing for someone? Hadn't his years
on the track entitled him to a
badge? Yet he had been kicked
out like a. common moocher. It
was unbearable.
Kentucky nodded.
1T amt right" he said, "but
ah guess we can fix 1t up"
Gets "Unlucky Thirteen"
Kentucky disappeared into his
stable, and came out leading a
colt that bore the name of Un-
lucky Thirteen.
''Mistuh Tanning, Suh," he
said, "I'm stakin' you to this
dawg. From now on yO're an
owner. Go back to the scale
man an tell him that, as an
owner, you're entitled to a
badge. He CANT say no. He'll
have to give yO' one"
The old mans face frightened.
The load on his heart became a
feather. A moment ago he had
been a nonentity. Now he was
an owner. entitled to a badge.

his years deserved.
He walked back the lane. past

and Young and Dwyer stables.
His head was high. He shifted

When he went into the scale.
room he was again the naughty
man of the Rowett days. and
the clerk, becoming properly hum
BILE once more, complied with his
demand.
So Old Man Tanning became
the original Badge Man" and
Thirteen the original
badge horse. After him there
were hundreds OF badge horse
owners, but the veteran who had
known the top and the bottom Of
racing was the first.
His Old Self Again
1t was the happiest day of his
life. Kentucky Bills gift Stiffened
his backbone with the gift of
that colt. He talked of the good
old days when Colonel Rowett
had brought his colts and fillies
to st. Louis or Louisville or Lex

the best in the world. Maybe
those days would come again.
Maybe he would saddle other win.

If it was the happiest day of
Old Man Fanning's life it was
also his last. He, Tanning, died
that night, with a smile on his
bearded face as he mumbled about
his horse and the badge 1T had
brought him.
