FOrcdtcher Steeplechdse
Attracts Star Jumpers
ARGONAUT KEEN
CHOICE TO WIN
ANNUAL CLASSIC
BY HARRY COSTELLO

FAIR HILL, Md, Sept. 10.
When those sporting people, men,
women, and children, who ride to
the Foxcatcher Hounds do things,
they do 'em in big way-in a
great, big way.
Tomorrow is a big day here
thanks to those who ride to the
Foxcatcher Hounds.
Some 10000 people, a goodly
crowd even for Saratoga, will be
here to witness the fourth renewal
of the Foxcatcher National Cup
Steeplechase, which Curtis Wood,
jr., calls "the American counter
part of England's Grand National
at Aintree."
Chris Wood, jr., does publicity
for the FoXcatcher Hounds.
Says Chris. with nothing definite
in his voice or manner:
"Wen have 10000 here for
the Foxcatcher National Cup.
The weather man has promised
us fine day. With 20 top per.
formers entered, we're sure to
have a grand race"
It is likely that Is will accept
the issue in tomorrow's big race, a
brush test of about three miles, for
four-year-oldS and upward.
FAVORITE TO WIN
William J. Strawbridge's Argo-
naut probably will go to the post
hot favorite to win the jumping
classic, which is worth $500 and
a 5000 plate, although Campbell
Weir'S Soldiers Fate and Benja-
min Leslie Behr's Baffler generally
are rated right up with the gal
liant gray son of Tetratema.
The Steady-going 10-year-old Ar
gonaut won his last at Aqueduct
in easy fashion, and this course
appears made to order for him, for
the reason that the 10 brush fences
average 6 feet in height. In the
handicap at Aqueduct, Argonaut
defeated JoStman Home and Caco-
Ion, both of whom he viii face to-
morrow. Morris Dixon, who trains
Argonaut, will ride him.
GALLOPS TO VICTORY
Baffler looked good on Labor
Day as he galloped to an easy win.
He is said by his owner to be
ready. Pete Reid, who won the
National Cup last year with What
Have You, will have the leg up on
Baffler.
Soldiers Fate, which finished
second to What Have You last
year, also is reported in top shape.
Besides Soldiers Fate, Jim Ryan
has four others entered-Well-
stepped, Grooming Water, Zadora
and Eastern Shore.
Others eligible for the National
Cup are Daffy, Snake Charmer,
Sunny Thoughts, Sir Gareth, Toy
Maker, Drapeau, Bell Man, Corky.

breaker.
The supporting card consists of
three races, the first worth $500
and called the Fair Hill Steeple-
chase; the second worth $500, and
called the Big Elk, a flat race,
and the fourth, worth $500, and
called the Lewisville. The Lewis.
vile also is a flat race.
The Fair Hill is two miles over
brush. The Big Elk is about q
mile over a SeVen-furlong course.
The Lewisville is about seven fur
longs over a turf course.

unemployment count, and John Henry
Wigmore. dean emeritus of North
