Medicinal VS.. Speed Ball.

McuiclIldI vs.. Spccu BAH.
THE commish and his colleagues
have been studying drug store
phenomena for some time. So has
every race horse expert. It's an i'm
portant subject, and not the least i'm
portant phase of it is the location of
the dividing line between medicinal
dope and speedball dope.
This parallels the old whisky prob
lem, which you must have heard Of
Whisky is sometimes doled out for
medicinal purposes, but more often
you will see gentlemen and ladies tap

Horses have been doped for years
and years. Trainers have an angle
or alibi for this-the medicinal alibi.
One trainer, sturdy plyer of the
needle, was questioned on this score
not long ago, and he explained fully.

Lets Out ut 70-Yard Mark.


PICK up little along the way,
but when II reach the to- yard
mark in the 100, really let out. All
the sports writer's have noticed that
run the last 80 pretty fast. but they
never knew why.
THE answer is that I hold my
breath during the last stretch. That's
the secret. 1t seems like little
thing. and maybe it's opposite to all
coaching. but do It,.
If you stop and look at it, it's log
ical. In running or jumping you are
lifting or pushing weight. Any one
knows that if you lift something you
stop breathing and tense your stom-
ach muscles before you can exert
your greatest strength. And you al
ways ill your lungs before the effort.
