pitch for Clark's charges.

all season, pitching against some
of the best prep school teams in the

season game to San Diego high but
has defeated Yuma, Herbert HooV-
er. Redondo. Jacumba town team,
and all valley league teams.
Ellis does not boast such an inn

Ellis may be able TO put an end to
the long string of victories enjoyed

Success. like corn whiskey, goes
to the head. I say that because !
have enioved both-the corn when
I was a tot and was given it as a
Group corrective. and success when
7 named Omaha as the winner OF
the Kentucky derby a year ago.
It's been a year since I named the
big son of Gallant Fox to come
banging down to the wire in front,
but I haven't gotten over it. Per
hans that's because Omaha IS the
only winner I ever called in ad-
vance. People wrote letters and
sent wires to congratulate me ON
choosing Omaha, and l loved 1t. l
read the letters twice and filed the
wires in my memory book, alongside
the theater stubs, dance programs
and hair ribbons.
Picking a winner pleased me so
much that vowed TO myself
months ago, that l would do II
again in the 1896 derby, and l
also vowed that l wouldn't de
pend on pure luck as | did in the
Omaha business, but would make
il my task TO learn SO much about
horSes that this year IT would
simply be a matter of looking
carefully at each member oil the
field and then naming the finest
specimen.
I had no business picking Omaha.
I had already made Colonel Brad
ley's BoXthom my choice, and was
writing a story about it when Col
onel Joe Williams, sports editor OF
the New York World-Telegram and
a former breeder Of saddle mares,
suggested Omaha. Knowing that
Colonel Williams was name over
tail in love with horses and was
great authority on them, 1 switched
my selection. But not my bets.
So you see, a year ago 1 knew
nothing. Now, I don't mind saying,
I know everything. About horses,
that is. For six months l have be-
labored myself with facts about the
horses. I didn't hurry myself at
first, but started very gradually.
The first thing 7 read was Black
Beauty. From that went to poe
try. reading and rereading The
Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. "
