But Miss Jones was touched by

had the look of a man who might
go to the dogs at the drop OF a
hat, and she would feel responsible
for his downfall.
"I'u try to think Of a way" she
said.

The catastrophe occurred a few
moons later. RoSamond entered the
tea room, teetering gracefully in a
very tight wool sheathe dress.
There was about her an air Of ten

The seams, however, held, and
so did her strained smile. The next

chiffon dinner gown. Her face
took on a purplish hue. She was,
Tubby saw, a girl of courage. She
could hold her breath indefinitely.

his table, he dropped small cube

Easier tendencies persisted in the

trend.
Stocks were soft at the opening

Coppers, steeis, motors, electri-
cal equipments and blue-chips were
leaders on the downside. Avia'

Biscuit Still Far
From Peak
Of Form
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

| NEW XOfCn, May ~ N1.N'O'l .
War Admiral, the horse that the
entire East seems to think is a
kick In the bosom for the $100, 900
match race ten days hence, is 60
ing for last, fast work" at the
match distance of q mile and%a
quarter tomorrow morning.
Charley Kurtsinger, the jockey,
has been told to be there, ready
to ride the horse and to let him
run as fast as he wants, probably
1908 or better. In the opinion Of
the clockerS-notably that of the
top hand of the profession, George
Reade-the Admiral is much
closer to his race" in training
right now that is Seabiscuit,
handicap star of the C. s. Howard
Stable.
The latter, as a matter Of fact,
isn't close at all. They say he'll
need at least three fast works in
the next week if he's to come UP
to the race absolutely right"
The two horses are tempera-
mentally different-the Biscuit be-
ing sturdy, honest and dependable
and the Admiral as nervous as a
bloke with a brandy hangover.
ONLY THING TO DO
There's only one thing to do
with q horse like that. They're
bringing him up to his best as soon
as possible and, after that, the
trick will be to keep him there.
You'll see very little of War Ad-
miral at Belmont, except for rae
ing starts and short gallopS, if to-
morrow's trial is at all satisfying.
And there's no reason to expect
that it won't be. A week ago,
they galloped him under restraint
for the full distance on the main
track in 2:07 is, indicating that
he was just about where Conway
wanted him at that time. At this
time, he'll want him down around
1908 and, if that's the way it's
going to be, the rest of the pro-
gram ought to be simple enough.
Far simpler, in fact, than that
Of timing" a horse up to the day
Of the race, as I understand
Smith must do with the Biscuit.
STRETCH TRIAL
So far, he's been doing a lot OF
galloping at a mile and a half,
showing that the Coast stable in
tends to have the horse ready to
make most of his run in the
stretch, where the real race is ex-
pected to develop-if there ever is
to be a real race.
It's surprising how many race
people around here don't think
there will be, the idea being that
the Admiral not only has plenty
Of early fetlock but always has
had enough late lung courage to
beat off any stretch challenge.
The point is that there hasn't
been many,
BELMONT PARK, N. Y, MAY
20 U.N.SO-Neither War Admiral
nor Seabiscuit, rivals in the $780,
900 match race over Belmont's
oval on Decoration Day, MAY 30,
will parade to the post before the
running Of the classic duel.
This news became official today
with the release of the second half
OF Belmont's condition book by
John B. Campbell, secretary of the
WestcheSter Racing Association.
The book did not include any
events in which the two thorough
breds are eligible except the Spe-
cial.
Within a few days, Charles s.
Howard, Seabiscuit's owner, and
Samuel D. Riddle, owner of War
Admiral, will confer with various

Everything from a Goatskin to a
Cowhide is tanned WHITE this year.
Even Genuine White Buckskin is more
confusing, as it is sold in six different
grades, and an expert Heather man
can't tell the difference in the windOw.
But for the last fifteen years, Regal
Stores have been recognized as Head
quarters for Genuine White Buck from
Coast to Coast, because we have made
in our own factory, and sold in our
own Stores more fine quality Genu-
inc White Buckskin Shoes than any
other shoe manufacturer in America.
The finest quality Genuine White
Bucksl1in, used in Regal Shoes, costs
about 500 more than the average
cost Of upper leather in any line of
SIS shoes. It is used in the most ex-
pensive shoes, but it is too expensive
for cheap shoe.
And it is worth the difference be-
cause no one has ever discovered a
real substitute for Genuine White
Buckskin. It is porous and cool. It is
easily cleaned. It has soft look and
"feel," and will look as well next
year as this year.
P.S. You can pay twice our price,
and not get any better quality
Genuine White Buckskin-and
this year a good many would like
to save the difference.
