The standards due to tumble

Johnny Woodruff, rangy Negro

demolish the one minute fifty-one
and four-tenths second record set
for the indoor half-mile by Lloyd
Ham at New York in March,

ance of the Admiral at the start
of that event places just as much
responsibility upon Mr.. Conway
as upon KurtSinger for the defeat
of the Riddle ace.
Only another meeting between
Seabiscuit and War Admiral can
settle these two alibis, but that is
expecting too much of SeabiS-
cults owner.
Kurtsinger certainly got all his
horse had in the gruelling drive
down the backStretch. 1t was that
drive from the beginning Of the
backstretch to the wire that takes
the pressure of responsibility off
Kurtsinger's shoulders and places
it squarely on Mr.. Conway and
Mr.. Riddle, if indeed the loss Of
the race was anyone's fault be-
side the Admiral's.
In announcing his retirement as
a jockey, Kurtsinger stated he
would be glad to get a leg up on Q
formidable mount for. the sixty
fifth running of the Kentucky
Derby, for his ambition is to
equal the three-time wins made by
Sande and Isaac Murphy. His

"Old Pete" was back in New

as q trainer. Some time ago
Kurtsinger declared his intention
of proving his ability as a horse
man, afoot as we'll as in the sad
die.
Taking the precedents estab-
lished by Earle Sande, Johnny
Lotus and Louis Schaeffer. all of
whom dismounted into training
lobs Kurtsinger's chances of
proving himself a crack trainer
seem pretty good.
GOOD TRAINERS

ers of the country as high money
winner and was outstanding as
the developer of the three-year-old
Stagehand. Not only did this son
of Sickle raise his trainer high on
the professional list, but he also
gave a boost to his noted sire.
Always the conservatives who
give faint praise will raise the old
adage that good horses make
good trainers" And so they do,
but there are plenty of good
horses ruined by bad handling
and training.
Louis Schaeffer, trainer for w
Il. Brann's Glade Valley Farm. IN
Frederick county, Md, is another
veteran of saddle-leather who now
ranks high among the ground
Ihorsemen. Schaeffer may be
credited with developing the 2,
year-old Challedon, winner Of
three Futurities, and Maryland's
hope in the 1899 Kentucky Derby
ASTUTE
Kurtsinger appears to have
gone about the preliminarieS Of
his training career with consider
able astuteness. He has already
purchased the beautifully brec
horse Xerxes. Xerxes is by The
Porter, out of Bar-le-duc, who is a
daughter of the mighty Colin. HI
has been shipped to Colder
Maxim Farm, near Louisville, KY
In addition to XerXeS, Kurt
singer Is also reported to have
purchased several brood mares
and judging from his stock, he
evidently anticipates entering the
ranks of breeders as well as join
ing the trainers.
Kurtsinger's announcement o.
his retirement plans came shortly
after the master of the Glenn Rid

other boy on the Admiral follow
