Pimlico. where the Biscuits best time
is l:5725 under 1870 pounds. This
was a track record until Pompoon
with only ll8 up. clipped three -fifths
of second off it last spring.
With Seabiscuit and War Admiral
each carrying the comparatively
light weight of 120 pounds, it is not
unlikely that the record will be broken
once more this week.
There is about as little to choose
in pre-race speculation. between the
opposing jockeys as there is between
their mounts Kurtsinger and George
Woolf, the Howard horses pilot. are
both veterans and each has won plenty
of big stakes. kurtsinger has two
Kentucky Derbys to his credit. while
Woolf took a Santa Anita Handicap
with Azucar and just missed another
with the Biscuit.
Woolf has ridden the Howard horse
seven or eight times this year. acting
as pinch hitter for his friend, Jack
Pollard, the Biscuits regular rider
Pollard broke collarbone last spring
and then fractured his leg a few
months latter, so he is out for the
year.s
Both horses have shown their best
form in workouts during the past
week, SO the weather is the only
thing at all likely to spoil a grand
spectacle for more than 10000 persons.

CHANGE IN DRILL
PAY METHOD HIT
Guard officers Opposed to Having
Payment by Check From
Here.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are expended during each three
months of the year by the Federal
tional Guard. as pay for drills attend
ed during the quarter. There has been
some discussion between the ONCE Of
the controller general of the United
States and the inspector generals de-
partment OF the Army, of simplifying
the present method of paying in cash,
by mailing checks from Washington
directly to the men concerned
But in simplifying it from the Gov
ernments standpoint, if that would
help matters, Guard officers point out
that it will furnish serious complica-
tons for them, particularly those
charged with property, which, they in
turn issue to enlisted men. As the sys-
tenn works now, If an enlisted man is
unable to produce a piece of prop
erty which has been issued to him for
drill use he knows that it will be taken
out Of his pay at the end of each
quarter. On the other hand, it was
explained, if the checks are mailed
direct to the men the officer in most
cases will be unable to collect the
amounts due, and may have to pay all
out of his own pocket.
The matter is considered so serious,
that the National Guard Association
of the United States has instructed
is ogcers to take the matter up imme-
diaely with the Secretary of War and
the controller general of the United
States, and inform them of the posi-
ton of the National Guard with regard
to the proposed change.
The association also considered the
matter of training of reserve of the
Guard The officers pointed out that
it is most important that the National
Guard have trained reserve and be
ready in the shortest possible time to
take the field in case of a national
emergency. In order that such a re-
serve may be made ready for imme-
diate useful mobilization, it has been
decided to request the chief of the
National Guard bureau to arrange for
IS days of field training each year with
every organization of the militia of a
limited number of officers and enlisted
men now assigned to the inactive lists
of the Guard.

Answer to Yesterdays Puzzle.

cult Competing in 83 races, he has
run on % different tracks in 10 States
and in Mexico New York tracks have
seen him most-22 times-while Cali
fornia and Maryland are next with l3
and II appearances. respectively.
Although frequently referred to as
'the California horse" because of his
owners place Of residence, there is
no sectional angle in Tuesdays race.
The Biscuit is just as much of an
Fastener as the Admiral, having run
Sc races before he ever landed in
California.
Maryland racegoers have seen quite
bit of War Admiral, too. Nine OF
his % races have been run at Havre
de Grace. Pimlico and Laurel.
Although War Admiral is the "peo-
pies choice" and is almost certain to
be the favoriteTuesday. close study
of the two horses records will show
Seabiscuit is very worthy rival. At
any distance from furlongs up to the
mile and three -SiXteenths over which
Tuesdays race will be staged, there
isn't much to choose between the pair.
At furlongs. War Admiral's best
winning race was run at Havre de
Grace in Ill under 118 pounds. Sea-
biscuits best time was l:ll2s at
Agawam under 100 pounds.
At furlongs, the Biscuit won at
Santa Anita in 1:23h under 112
pounds. The Admiral needed l:234s
at Hialeah, but had 122 pounds up.
At one mile, Seabiscuit's best WIN
ming time is 1886, negotiated at Bay
Meadows under 116 pounds. War Ad-
miral ran the distance in 1868 at
Aqueduct with 1872 up, but was driving
hard, whereas Biscuit had a five
length lead at the end.
At a mile and one-sixteenth, the
Howard horse holds the track record
at Empire City, where he covered this
route in l:44ls under 129 pounds and
won by four lengths The Admiral's
best was made at Havre de Grace, l As
with 119 pounds.
At a mile and one-eighth, War Ad-
miral never has won his race in the
Massachusetts, Handicap at Suffolk
being his only try at this route. The
Howard horse, on the other hand, has
found this his best distance. At Santa
Anita he established the track record
Of 1:4845 while winning by seven
lengths with l20 pounds up. At Bay
Meadows he equaled this time with
124. He has covered the distance in
1:49 on three occasions, doing so once
with 1873 pounds and twice with 100.

mud at Laurel, occurred last summer
at Suffolk Downs. when MenoW. War
Minstrel and Busy K. led him home
in the mud during the running of the
Massachusetts, Handicap.
Seabiscuit also has been a model
of consistency since his rise to great
ness after two $3.50 seasons. The
Howard horse did not hit his real
stride until he had been sold down
the river for $4,000 by the Wheatley
Stable. Under the guidance Of Tom
horse became sensation almost over
night, and in the last two seasons has
been out of the money only once in
Is starts Twice he has lost the
100000 Santa Anita Handicap by
nose margin.
With an even break in racing luck,
SeabiScuit certainly would have won
one of these races. in which event
he would be well ahead of Sun Beau
as the greatest money-earner in the
history of the turf. As it is, he is
about s50,0O0 behind Sun Beau's
record figure of S376,744.
War Admiral, with l8 victories in
% races. also is within range of the
mark, having amassed about $3.50 900.
The fact the Admiral is Man O.
Wars son, while his great rival is the
wonder horses grandson, has led to
common error among some race
followers. This concerns the 'rela-
tionship" of the two horses. some
referring enormously to War Admiral
at the Biscuits uncle
AS matter Of fact, the two horses
are not related in any way, since
kinship among horses is determined
by the distaff side.
Seabiscuits sire was Hard Tack,
so his ancestry on the male side goes
back through Man O. War and Fair
Play to the Hastings line. War Ad-
miral is out of Brush Up, while Sea-
biscuits dam was Swing On.
War Admiral won the first start
of his racing career at Havre de Grace
on April rs, 1896, beating field of
10 2-year-olds. He was brought along
very carefully by the veteran trainer.

all year. OF these, he won three, the
most important being the Eastern
Shore Handicap at Havre de Grace.
Seabiscuit, on the other hand, started
out as an ugly duckling at Hialeah
Park on January l9. 1885, and had
run II races before he finally won at
Narragansett Park on June %. Few
2-year-olds ever worked harder, since
the Biscuit ran IS times on IL tracks
before the Wheatley Stable let him
call it a season. Out Of these IS
races, he won S, finished second in Z,
and third in 5, earning $12.510.
AS 3year-old, Seabiscuit i'm
proved somewhat, but he showed no
signs Of greatness until late in the year
after Trainer James Fitzsimmons had
sold him to Howard. The horse
wound up the year with $2s,995 earned
in % races. of which he won 9.
From then on Seabiscuit, was
champion. OF his last Is races, he
has won Is, finished second in and
third in 3.
Very few stake horses have covered
the country as thoroughly as seabis-
