- will be run at
Frank Buck" o'Neill B e m o n t
Park. He might well account
for the Saratoga Cup at a mile
and six furlongs.
A study of Dauber's races in
the Kentucky Derby and the
Preakness attest the colts
quality and his ability as a
reuter-. He was a better horse
at Pimlico under the most i'm
possible conditions. The track
was a ribbon of Shiny mud, but
Dauber negotiated the mile and
three-sixteenths as if the ooze
were his native element.
Slow to begin, Dauber just
started to run at the mile post
in both races. And when he
straightened out, with his ears
laid back, he rolled home like
Old 81 with the safety valve tied
down.
How Dduber Broke
Dauber broke tenth in the
Derby and eighth in the Freak
ness. He stayed eighth in the
Preakness until he reached the
half.mile mark, and then Moose
Peters began to nudge him along.
He was second at the three
quarters and first at the mile,
heading Menow at the latter's
own distance. At Churchill
Downs, Dauber was sixth at the
mile and third at the head OF
the stretch, with MenoW second
at that mark.
On a point system, Menow
and Can't Wait are about even.
At a mile Menow seems to have
en- edge, for he led Can't Wait
in both races at that distance.
At a mile and a quarter, how
ever, Can't Wait has the edge,
for he made up three lengths IN
the last sixteenth at Churchill
Downs to beat Menow.
Fighting Fox can be dismissed
with a nod. He is the brother
Of a great horse, but ne him
self belongs in the second flight.
The testimony of the charts is
that Fighting Fox either is e
sour dispositioned horse, or that
he is a surinter of doubtful
talents. His performance IN
the Woods Handicap at a mile
was good enough to suit the
most exacting. But in the
Derby he folded after being in
the contention for six furlongs.
Bred to run in the mud, Fight
ing Fox was a pathetic figure
in the ooze of the Preakness.
Warren w. Wright burned
the incense of his fondest hopes
for victory in the Kentucky
Derby at the affairs of Bull Lea.
But the Bull Dog-Rose Leaves
colt is just another horse. He
was q washout in the Derby and
q black-out in the PreaknesS.
Records Speak
Strange, indeed, are the ways
Of sporting folk. There were
just q few after the Preakness
who shrugged off Dauber and
asked: What did he beat?"
They said that about Jim
Corbett and about Jack Demp-
sey. Dauber beat his competi-
ton and beat it convincingly.
He was moving in on Law
rim at the finish at Louisville,
and it's just this departments
bunch that on last Saturday
the Du Pont colt could have
beaten any thoroughbred in the
S-year-old division.
Here is the record of Dauber
and his four rivals at Churchill
Downs and Pimhco:

candidacy and said he hoped he would
be on the ticket" with him.
Mr.. Jackson reiterated his pledge
to open the State Conservation Com
mission to the "best qualified person
can find" if he is elected.
He asserted every candidate for
Governor in the last twenty or thirty
years "believed it was advisable to
make speeches about oysters and
crabs and commercial fish" in Somer-
set county.
In reciting figures on the decline Of
sea-food industries in the State, the
Mayor said, "The candidates were try

they had given long and careful con-
sideration to the situation and that,
if elected, they would do something

"The hitch-hiker who confidently
waggles his thumb at motorist
wouldn't think of getting a ride on
a street car or train by the same
means, because he knows it wouldn't
work.
Warning is given by the Club that
motorists frequently have been repaid
for their kindness with clout on
the back of the head and robbed of
car or money" Others have found
themselves defendants in damage suits
because of injury to the self-invited
guests. Aside from these serious con
siderations, motorists are jeopardided
by the appearance of the mixers on the
highways. Cars often are forced to
swerve sharply to avoid them, and
crashes with approaching vehicles
some times result.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-08-05

"The reasons behind this suggestion
are all to be found in an interesting
booklet we have just published" he
continues. "This booklet is entitled
What Causes Motor Knocks?' and is
available, without charge, wherever
Sunoco products are sold.
"Walt Disney has drawn a number
of original illustrations for this book
let, including new drawings of Mickey
Mouse, Donald Duck and other Dis
ney characters. Then in simple, non
technical language, the booklet gives
the why's and wherefores' of motor
knocks and explains how motors can
be kept knockless and powerful for
probably as many miles as you will
want to drive them.
GAS I say, this booklet is absolute
ly free at all Sunoco Service Stations
and motorists everywhere are cordial
ly invited to drop in and ask for a

AUTOMOBILE CLUB
GIVES WARNING OF
THUMBINC PESTS

The hitch-hiking pest is in again!
Thumb -jerkers are abroad in the land,
inviting themselves free rides at the
expense of the country's heaviest tax
payers. So many complaints have
reached the Keystone Automobile
Club lately about this highway pest
that the Club feels it necessary to re-
peat it's warning against acceding to
the opportunities of the ride grabbers.
So long as some motorists give
hitch-hikers a lift, so long will this
form of parasite continue to thrive,
Club officials declare. Motorists, it
is asserted, have it well within their
own power to squelch the pest. Unani-
nous refusal of drivers to pick up the
ride moochers would soon put an end
to the practice.
"There is no reason why man who
buys an automobile and pays heavy
tax to operate it should feel under
any obligation to give transportation
to any ride beggar who makes the re-
quest with a jerk of the thumb" said
Matthews P. Hanley, Manager of the
Eastern Shore Division Of the Club.
