"HoW would you rate Man o War
- and Discovery" asked Bedwell,
with both at their best?"
"A good tough race" the veteran
trainer said. "It would certainly be
no walkover for Man O. War. Dis
covery can carry weight and go the
route. He is extremely fast. as his
best time shows. So far. he has run
as fast as Man o. War ever ran and
has carried as much or more weight
just as ably"
For all that, Man O. War still re-
mains the main legend in the land
OF the thoroughbred. It wasn't alone
what he did, but the way he handled
the job, that caught every ones fancy.
It was tough break for Sir Barton
to make his running over a harder
track, especially as Sir Barton had
nothing to say about it. Trainer
Bedwell builds up fine case for the
horse he trained, but the crowd at
large only looks for the winners
name. So far as the combination of
fast time and harder competition
happen to go, Sir Barton had the
call. If they never had met, he
would be classed as the better horse.
As it stands, the public still sticks
with Man O. War.
Man o. War and Discovery are op-
posite types in this respect-the first
q public favorite, the second none
too popular. For all that, Discovery

Washington and Baltimore can get to-

ing was introduced to the gathering at
the Wealth -Ruppel tournament in Bal
timore Sunday and the rafters Of the
Regent stu may be shaking from the
reception.
Earl Bridwell, scorer Of the Day
Shift League Of the Three AS, wagered
four bits that no member Of the league
would collect q prize In The Star

for the final and one landed in the

THE National Duckpin Bowling
Congress and the Baltimore City
Duckpin Association are at odds, but
the Orioles in the main are stringing
with the congress. So say the Balu-

More and more Washington bowling
proprietors are catering to the fair pin
shooter, but they haven't approached
the standard of the Morgan Recrea-
ton of Hartford, where the next Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress tour
nament will be held. One Of the pro-
prietors of this establishment is a
furniture man, and the fellow has
gone the limit in fixing up q floor
de luxe for the women.
THE Morgan Recreation probably is
the most prosperous bowling plant
in the country. In Washington the
heavy business starts with the league
shooting at 8 pm. At the Morgan
Recreation 1t starts at 1 o'clock, shortly
after the skirted workers Of the coun-
try's insurance capital finish their day.
Leagues take over the drives at 4. 6
and 8 O'Clock at the Morgan plant,
and these are the hours that bowling
promoters dream about.
If speed is a prime requisite OF high
scoring in duckpins, keep check on
Arnold Preheim Of the A. A. A. League.
His average is about 100, but this Is
his first season. The five-inch ball in
his mitt Is like marble, and ne
handles it with the ease Of Walter
johnson winging . base ball. He

Man O. War and Sir Barton.


"T ET'S look further into the mat
- ter before you start naming
Man O. War as the pick Of the past"
Bedwell continued.
What great horses did he ever beat
outside of the Sir Barton race? John
p. Grier was close to being a great
horse. He was good horse anyway.
And it took all Man O. War had to win.
Against this. look up Sir Barton'S
record. In the Saratoga Handicap
around 1919, against crack field, he
ran the fastest mile and quarter
from start to finish ever known-the
half in 0:46-the three-quarter in
1:11-the mile in 1886 and the mile
and a quarter in 2:01 As. And he ran
this dance against great competitors.
"Sir Barton ran against such horses
as Exterminator, Mad Halter and
The Porter. Carrying 1873 pounds,
with Mad Halter at lot, Sir Barton
ran the mile and a half in 2:03.
There Is your proof of greatness. Sir
Barton set records against the star
horses of his day. Man O. War never
did. A great horse? Sure. But not
a Sir Barton when both were at their
best"

P!mlico, Santa Anita. Hialeah, tracks
of that type-I don't think Man O
War ever saw the day he could beat
Sir Barton.
you know there Is an old English
track saying that goes like this
courses for 'orses-and 'orses for

Certain horses like the mud-others
fast tracks At that time, Sir Barton's
feet were entirely too tender for the
track that was picked. And that
made more difference than you might
imagine. know on that day that
Sir Barton wasn't even close to his
best time-or his best race. His feet
we're too badly punished to give him

up a few inches short for a and

Kocsis, when a deuce would have won

Roger Peacock, although many
people didn't see the shot, made one
championship final round. Roger was
playing against Hickman Greene at
Washington in a rip-snorting, tearing
match that always was close.
Peacock Plays a Tricky One.
GREENE is no lad to wilt in a tough
match, and when Roger came to
the fifteenth, l up. and slipped his
second shot far to the right on steep
hillside with a flock of trees between
his ball and the green. it looked as if
Greene would win the hole and square
the match. Furthermore. Peacock's
ball lay within 2 yards Of a water
pipe, and it had to come up fast and
high to clear the pipe and the trees.
So well did he play the shot that he
knocked it within feet of the hole.
and he won when Greene missed
short one for the half. That shot won
the match.
Lots of aces were made last year,
too. Now an ace usually comes from
an accurate shot, but not always. No
player scored an ace under tournament
pressure.
One of the better shots came from
the sand wedge of Roland Mackenzie
on the eighth hole at Congressional
on an extra hole of the match in
which he and Fred Mcleod tried 20
lick Bob Barnett and Witty Cox. With
Cox on the green in two shots, it
looked as If he was going TO win the
mole. for Freddie was far from the
green on the line and Roland had
hooked his second shot deep into the
rough. hole high, but 40 yards away.
So deftly did the Mackenzie boy play
his pitch that the ball actually hit the
cup and missed holing out by an inch.
