BY HENRY McLEMORE

BOSTON, June 80 CUP) -fIf I
were a Dale Carnegie pupil, intent
on making friends and influence
ing people Sam Riddle and War
Admiral say l would bestir my
self to think up fine, fat excuses.
I'm worn out from making ex-
cuSes for horses - horses who
wouldn't hama me an cat if I were
starving. l practically took up
room and board in Stagehand's
throat in Louisville in order to
justify his withdrawal from the
Derby; 1 made housemaids knee a
major disease to excuse fSeabiscuit
in the 100000 Belmont bust
and thumbed through the heneo-
philiac complaints of the ,Hapsburgs
trying to exclise War Admiral for
not showing up for the $4,000
Suburban.
But no more.
Here's the reason War Admiral,
the pampered patrician of the turf,
was beaten % by Menbw, % by
Busy K, a direct descendant of
the lead donkey on the famed 40
mule Borax team, and 3 80 War
minstrel, whose full half brother
was placed on sale recently in
tubes, by the LePage Glue COM
pany.
He was out-run. He was plumb
out-run.
He was beaten out of the start
ing gate, he was beaten at the
quarter pole, he was beaten at the
half-mile marker, he was beaten
where the three quarter pole lifts
it pepperminted head, he was
beaten at the top of the stretch,
and he was beaten at the finish
You can't excuse him on the
ground that the track was heavy.
You can't take a mile of Mother
Earth around just TO please a
horse. After all, a champion-a true
champion-must ask no favors of
man or the elements He must
take what he finds and rise above
it.
Charley Kurtsinger gave three
reasons for the ending of the most
brilliant winning streak in the
modern history of the turf. Char
ley, who has had leg up on War
Admiral in all Of his big races, said
l30 pounds was too much weight,
that the track was too heavy. and
that the Admiral cut his right
front leg at the three quarters

be faced caused by the backing up of

He recalled briefly the vast pre-
liminary work now underwayli.

mer
The bureau has reached no decision
on the location of new highways, rs it
wants local residents to decide anon
themselves what they want. But thu
decisions At be delayed much long
er.
On highway No. 4 between Wilbur
and Republic, Keller will be submerg-
ed and at least Ia miles of state high
wav must be built, and at least as
much county and rural highways IL
may be necessary to build several
large bridges across the backwater up
the present San Poll river.
One suggestion has been to abandon
the San Poll highway and concentrate
on new highway to the Okanogan
valley, via Nessslem. Another propos-
al is to build large bridge at He'll
gate.
On highway No Q from Davenport
to Meyers Falls and Northport. at
least so miles of state highway must
be relocated and about AZ miles of
rural roads.
Must Remove Bridge
The Detillion bridge over the Spo
kane river must be removed. One pro
possl is to build a pew Spokane river
bridge near its mouth, at the Golum-
bia, near old Fort Spokane. Probably
q seond bridge will be needed as well.
Major Hutton reiterated that the
bureau and the department of tho in
terror will not adopt an arbitrary OF
high handed policy in relocating these
highways. Local residents, county COM
missioners and the state highway os-
partmept must work out the problems
The bureau merely puts through the
road where local interests decide they
want il
The only curtailment of bureau net
ivities this year, he said, viii be in
connection with the survey work IN
the field, now being made by bureau
project. This ~ because available funds
will be needed for more pressing mat
tiers.
Major Hutton definitely ouietcd ru-
mors that there might be lull the
coming year in dam operations.
