I'm sure that Tommy Taggart,

Springs, who owns the amazing
Marica, would not back away
from a meeting with Esposa.
There isn't much back away in

Probably there isn't in Mr..
Ziegler, either. I just don't hap

Nor do I know anything about

Rudy Etchen, 15-year-old Wichita
(Kan.) boy, collapsed on the firing
traps after winning the national
junior championship yesterday,
breaking SO targets out of posi-,
BILE 100.
His father, Fred Etchen, said
the lad had suffered from ptomaine
poisoning all night, but insisted
on firing in the 100-target junior
meet. Rudy won the sub-junior
titles the last two years and won
the Kansas State championship
this year, the youngest ever to
capture it.

saying to Esposa in the stretch:
"Well, old lady, if you think
you're such a stopper. let's see
you do some stepping"

Even so, it struck me as one Of
War Admiral's best races. Incl

which he passed his pappy's

The DOO0gers' Handicap
With War Admiral established
as the boss of the handicap di-
vision in the East, the best race
we could imagine here for older
horses would be a test between
EspoSa and Marica.
Such a race might be called
the Dowagers' Derby. Or if Mrs.
Isabel Dodge Sloane insisted on
crashing the party with the
