Well, so long, I'm going to blow,

Whirling along like a ghost at

A long tall boy in a scarlet cap,
Swirling down the backStretch

CHANCE TO WIN
: The Earl from Idaho won't be

ard's) Sceneshifter in the hun
!, dred thousand dollar Santa An
1ta Handicap, more's the pity!
But he thinks the route-running
black son Of Sickle and Stage
craft has a royal chance to win
. 1t, and if you like feedbox infor-
: nation, there it is.
: Sande sent Sceneshifter to the
post for the first time this year
at Santa Anita Wednesday, and
the colt fairly rolled to victory
at seven furlongs, which is far
short of his best distance. The
further they go the better the
ebony son Of Sickle likes 1t, and
). they'll be going the full distance
: one mile and one-quarter-
;. when they race for the richest
;. purse in the world on March 5.
With Col. Maxwell Howard, Of
: Akron, Ohio, owning Scene
shifter and Charley Howard, of
San Francisco, owning Seabis-
cult, the Santa Anita can turn
into a Howard Handicap.
You may not remember it, but
SceneShifter was chasing War
Admiral home at equal weights
in the Belmont Stakes last sum-
mer. He was also chasing the
tiny Admiral in the tri-cornered
hat in the Derby, and coming
like a house afire after some Of
the most atrocious luck that
ever beset a horse in the run
for the roses.

was that he had this particular

Thus right or wrong, there's
method in the madness of the

in his warning message not to

Pompoon. Not at least until
the son Of Pompey has had his

whose guess is the better.
One thing about the tall boy
is that you can go to sleep on
anything he tells you. He can
be wrong. Who can't? But no
more honest fellow ever lived.
Moreover, if you should go to
sleep on his advice, we are sure
you'll never be rudely awakened
as he was one morning in the
j. <. L. Ross barn at Woodbine,
Canada.
He had gone up there to ride
Sir Barton in the famous match
race with Man O. War. Arriv-

all the hotels packed. Not that

UNCERTAIN SPORT
Racing is the most uncertain
sport and business in the world,
but you will note that folks who
follow the horses always manage
to do themselves well. More
often than not they haven t
much, but they have a knack
of living and acting as though
they had. They live precariously.
But usually they manage to live
well.
Which has nothing to do with
the story about Sande arriving
in Canada the night before the
Man O. War-Sir Barton race, and
going to the Commander Ross
barn to fall asleep on q bale Of
hay in the tack-room.
At dawn he was awakened by
voices. One of the voices was
Commander Ross, who owned
Sir Barton, the other the voice Of
Guy Bedwell, who trained the
handicap champion.
The first thing Sande can re-
member hearing was mention Of
his own name. Neither speaker
had any idea that he was within
miles Of the place, much less
within range Of his voice.
And Bedwell was talking
Owner Ross into using another
rider on Sir Barton. At first,
Sande thought he was dreaming.
Then he realized that it was
worse than a dream; that it was
a nightmare and a real one.
DRAMATIC SITUATION
Naturally, he had his heart
set on riding in that widely ad-
vertised race. He'd Travelled all
the way to Woodbine by day
coach to do so. And there he lay,
helpless, listening to Ross and
Bedwell reading him out of the
job.
It was a dramatic situation,
and one in which Sande could
think of nothing to say. Unin.
tentionally, he was in the posi-.
ton of an eavesdropper who
hears himself discussed. He has
