BOSTON. June 2S.-New England's
unpredictable weather today threat
ened the racing duel for which the
Nations fans long have vaited-9ea-
biscuit W. War Admiral in tomorrow's
$4,000 Massachusetts, Handicap at
Suffolk Downs.
After - hours Of continuous, driving
rain had turned the track into MAS
OF mud and vatsr-and more rain
was predicted for today-C. q. How
ard, Seabiscuit's owner, asserted that
IT We get , heavy, sticky track, we
will have to think it over"
The weather man said the storm
would end by tonight or tomorrow, but
1t was matter OF conjecture whether

My horse cannot do himself Justice
In heavy going. AS to his condition, I
saw him work out Sunday and he
looked hne to me. We worried about
him in New York, but rest had brought
him back sound. and he's proved by
his work he's fit TO 60. Everything de-

AS soon as the rain ceases, Track
supt. Joe Tomasello will start 4 crew
Of men to work with harrows and
every other device known to provide a

Six Others May Start.
The leng-awaited clash between the
two champions-each horse to carry

There was some question whether
seabiscuit would be handicapped by
the absence from the saddle of Johnny
tRedD Pollard, his usual jockey. but
the consensus was that George Woolf,
who rode him in the Santa Anita
Handicap. would be an able substitute
for Pollard, who suffered . broken leg
last week.

Something About Defaults.

One fact should be taken note OF
which should prove an answer to those
who decry the payment of entry fees
before names are included in the draw.
1t will be remembered that some OBJ
ject, both in The Star and public
parks tournament, to laying the two
bucks on the line before they can be
entered. But the stated reasons, that
there are those who are inclined to
back out-if they haven't paid their
entry fee-when they learn of their
first-round opponent is borne out in
the present tournament.
No less than nine defaulted last
Saturday and Sunday for one reason
or another. In contrast. only one
who had Illness as . resson-defaulted
in The Star tourney.
Would the fact that Nuah Lynch,

Joseph Brant the Younger, whose
real name was Thayendanega, was
personable Oxford educated Indian
chief of the most savage of all the
Ohio tribes. At fashionable gar
den party in philadelphia he met
Louisa, daughter of General Arthur
st. Clair, first governor of the
Northwest Territory. A few years
later, learning that Brant's people
had refused to negotiate treaty
with her father, Louisa bravely en-
tered the camp of the Shawnees
alone, delivered a message from her
father and was able to effect tenn
porary peace. But when Brant ask
ed for her hand in marriage and
the governor refused, the Indians
went on the warpath. Later st.
Clair suffered the worst defeat ever
met by American troops in the

Gideon, Following Gods Plan,
Judges 7:4-23, for Sunday, July "a:
In the three chapters regarding
Gideon from which this lesson is
taken, we have in one verse how the
Israelites got into trouble, but three
chapters telling how they got out of
trouble which may suggest that it
is easier to get into spiritual bond
age than to get out.
v. 4. "And the Lord said unto
Gideon, The people are yet too
many; bring them down to the wa
ter and l will try them for thee
there" If the army was large,
credit might be given to man in
stead of to God OF, if those that
were fearful would become panicky,
the whole army might be infected
with fear. Much Of the burden OF
Old Testament teaching was the
power and presence of God.
v. 5. $50 he brought down the
people unto the water? and the
Lord said unto Gideon, Every one
that lappeth of the water with his
tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt
thou set by himself; likewise every
one that boweth down upon his
knees to drink The distinguish
ing mark of those who Tapped the
water like dogs was that they were
alert and would not lay aside their
equipment, thus being ready for the
call to action which made them de-
pendable God leaves important

that Tapped, putting their hand to
their mouth was three hundred" 1t
may be discouraging when counting
numbers out and out for God, but
we forget that one with the Lord is
a majority.
v. Z. "And the Lord said unto
Gideon, BY the three hundred men
that Tapped, l will save you and de-
liver the Midianites into thine hand;
and let all the other people go ev-
cry man to his place" Note that
God calls attention to the fact that
he will deliver and so we pray, De-
liver us from evil Three hundred

We're not dependable. Water runs

v. Is. "When Gideon heard the
Interpretation of the dream, he
worshipped and said, Arise; for the
Lord hath delivered into your hand
the host of Midian." God some
times uses his enemies in the reve-
lation of divine truth. 1t is signifi-
cant that Gideon worshipped. Few
great men ever succeeded who fall
ed to worship. No one becomes
Christlike who does not worship
him. Strength and courage came to
Gideon after worship so that he
could call the 800 to follow him i'll
to what seemed a military defeat.
v. 16. "And he divided the three
hundred men into three companies
and he put trumpet in every mans $
hand, with empty pitchers, and
lamps within the pitchers" God

ties by other means, but it is his
plan to call on men to bring earthly
things to pass, each man to use such
talent and tools as he possesses.
VS.. II, 49, "And he saith unto
them, Look on me and do likewise;
when I blow with a trumpet, then
blow ye the trumpets also on every
side of all the camp, and say, The
sword Of the Lord and Gideon. .
Gideon was in the forefront. He
set good example which was es-
sential for good leader. These
three hundred men were to be God 5
witnesses when they together voiced
a grand chorus, ''The sword of the
Lord and Gideon"
VS.. 10, 20. ''And the three COM
panies blew the trumpets and brake
the pitchers, and held their lamps
in their left hands, and the trum-
pets in their right hands to blow
withal; and they cried, The sword
of the Lord and Gideon" 1t was
often the custom of the captains of
the divisions of any army to carry
a torch and blow with a trumpet, so
here was a fine piece of strategy.
Imagine at midnight the appearance
of 800 captains with a possible large
army.
V. 21. "And they stood every
man in his place round about the
camp Here is the basis of mot

best all the time which is the sure
foundation Of real success.

they fell upon each other. If we

harmony with her words. During
the social hour delicious refresh
