driven the somewhat Temperament
tai colt in public. 1t was big
league performance for both driver
and horse.
Developing winners seems to have
become a habit with Walter Cox,
who is being given credit for nurs-
ing McLin along to track immor-
tally for Lawrence B. Sheppard,
who owns this remarkable colt. Cox
trained and drove McLin'S dam,
Ethelinda, to victory in five out of
ten races as three-year-0ld, in
Guiding the $4,000 Kentucky Flu
turity.
He also developed and drove Wal
ter Dear and his sire, Laurel
Hall and Walters dam, Bitzie. And
speaking of records, Cox's feat of
winning first, second, third and
fourth money in the. 1929 Hamble-
tonian with. Walter Dear, Volomite,
Sir Guy Mac and Miss Woerner, all
developed and trained by him, is
likely to be unchallenged for years
to come.
Another interesting thing about
McLin was the fact that his blood
traces back directly through the fe-
male line to the celebrated Cub
Mare, that James Delaney import
ed from England before the RevO-
lutionary war for his breeding and
training farm then located in what
is now the Bowery in New York
city.
McLin's dam, Ethelinda, was the
offspring of Ethel Volo and Peter
the Great, one of the immortals of
the track, then past 20 years of age.
It was Walter Cox who developed
Ethelinda and drove her in 2:031a
to win the Kentucky Futurity in
1923, and again few days later
when she set the record for three
year-old trotters at 2:02A in an ex-
hibition against time.
So McLin has fine blood and ira
dition of fine training and driving
behind him. But his record as a
two-year-old when he couldn't finish
among the first four in the only two
races he ran made him an unpre-
dictable performer in the famed
Hambletonian stakes at Goshen.

Ugly Duckling
Colt Is Champ
OF Trotters
BY GEORGE A. BARCLAY

BY GEORGE A. BARCLAY
wv HEN horsemen meet around
w the fair circuits this summer
and fall the case of McClin, "ugly
duckling" among the three-year old
trotters, will be prime subject of
talk. For the smashing victory Of
this unpromising looking colt in the
$4,000 Hambletonian stake race at
Goshen, N. Y, while back startled
the most unexcitabIe followers of
the track.
McClin's victory was unique in
several ways. Until he flashed past
his nine competitors in 2:O2A and
2:02s4, he was what racing folks
call maiden" He had yet to win
a race. He had started in two races
last year and was among the also
rams, failing in both cases to "save
his entrance fee," a term used to
describe horses that can't finish
among, the first four.
At that, McLin had some rather
distinguished precedents behind him.
Circuit followers remembered the
experience of Guy Mckinney, win
ner of the first Hambletonian back
in 1926. Guy Mckinney had Nc
Inns record for failure beaten han
Oily before he raced to fame. He
started three times as a tw0-year-
old and was twice distanced and
once displaced. But as a three
year-old he was never beaten.
Horsemen will tell you that much
of the credit for McLin's sensational
victory should go to Henry Thorn
as, the veteran reinsman who hus-
tied the colt into the lead in each
heat and kept him there until the
finish.

STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Motor Statistics on Use of
Gasoline and Oil at
High Speed
WEAR ON TIRES, TOO

Besides quadrupling chances of
an accident, driving at high speeds
costs almost four times as muech
as taking it easy on the highway.
According to the Delaware Safety
Council, oil consumption is six
times greater at speeds from so to
20 miles per hour; gasoline is used
three times as freely, and wear on
tires is at least four times more
than when driving normally. Lit
tie oil is used by an average car in
good condition when driving be-
tween 20 and 40 miles per hour
When speed is increased beyond
this maximum, oil is circulated
faster and a great deal Of it is
forced out of the crankcase breath
er and through the exhaust pipes.
Wind resistance also increases
with higher speed, requiring added
power. If an engine develops 80
horsepower at 80 miles per hour,
at so miles per hour, the engine
must theoretically produce four
times as much power, or 120 horse
power. It takes a great deal more
gasoline to motivate an engine at
such a rate. This additional power
is also being transmitted to the
road through the rear tires. While
the distance covered at so miles
per hour is only twice as great as
at 80, the wear on the tires is
about four times as great The
traction of a tire, which is its safe
ty feature, is also reduced by ex-
cessive heat generated by fast
speed. Every time a tire goes over
a bump or depression in the road,
layers of cord slide on one another,
also generating additional heat
Statistics also show that high
speed is the greatest single cause
of highway fatalities, so for the
sake of your life and the sake of
your pocketbook, the Council urges
all drivers to bear down lightly on
the accelerator.
