looks but there was something about
the old geezer that excited the gals.
-. What sports event do you like
to cover best?" the young lady
asked.
This was easy. The Kentucky
Derby. This is a story that trans
cends the running of the race. 1t
embraces the whole citizenry. BY
gradual degrees an entire commu-
nifty works itself into a burning
frenzy over a horse race until on
the day of the race absolutely moth
ing else matters.
It's All Quite Puzzling
Year after year the citizens 60
through this same hysterical ex-
perience. And If anything, their in
tensity of emotion becomes keener.
No other community in America
becomes so rapturous, or downright
batty, over a horse race. This is
understandable to those who are
familiar with the racing back
ground Of the Blue Grass state.
To the casual student of human
behavior the mass manifestation
would probably be very puzzling.
The city itself and the spirit of
the people set the key for the race
so by the time the bugle sounds and
the band starts to play MY Old
Kentucky Home" and the leggy
three-year-olds begin their parade
to the post the suspense is suffo-
eating. You don't need to be ma
tive to feel it either.
There are two spectacles I never
tire of-the West Point corps on the
march and the Derby Day show.
The BAN His Favorite
I'm afraid I did not get this over
to the young lady very we'll. Any
way, she did not seem interested,
despite the fact I turned on the
dreamy look and affected a Ronald
Colman accent. :. who's your
favorite sports starr" she wished to
know.
Babe Ruth, yes, I think I'll have
to settle on the BAN as my favorite
sports guy. To make a choice of
this sort it is necessary to establish
q standard, and the standard in
this case is strictly the individual.
The BAN has something the other
acers lack in varying degrees; he
has the precious gift of being him
self at all times. He is consistently
Ruth on or off the field.
This must mean he is absolutely
