NEW YORK, Oct. IA. CUP)-For
the life of me can't figure out
why veterinarians aren't the rich
est men in the world, with two but
lers for every door, two pheasants
for every pot, and enough dividends
to keep a clipping bureau busy.
Veterinarians treat horses, don't
they? And there's a horse getting
sick every minute, isn't there? 1t
certainly seems that way to me, at
any rate. Every time you pick up
the paper there's an item about a
horse breaking down with some
popular ailment or another. And
the only horses which rate men
tion are prominent horses, so there
is no telling how many obscure
members of the name and tail FAM
lily are in ill health.
The old expression "strong as a
horse is the bunk. They are as
delicate as porcelain, and the next
thing you know they'll be running
around the tracks with handle
with care" and this end up" and
"use no hooks signs dangling from
them.
The latest horse to suffer break
down is Sorteado, the four-year-
old ace belonging to Charles S.
Howard. This big fellow, who was
purchased last year by the Califor-
nian after he had made a clean
sweep of South American stakes,
broke bones in his right front ankle,
during the running of the Gallant
Fox handicap at Jamaica yester-
day.
1t is doubtful If he will ever run
again because horses, while easy
to bruise are slow to heal. This Is
shame. not only because he cost
Howard $4,000, but because he had
proved in setting a new American
record for the mile and half last
month that he finally had reached

Red|ands High School Football Team
0utc|asses braw|ey Wildcats, 2b-0
BRAWLEY, Oct. ID. (SPECIAL)

BRAWLEY, Oct. IA. (SPECIAL)
-Redlands high school highly
rated football team scored in every
period Friday night to defeat
Coach Sheldon Loughborough's
Brawley Wildcats, 800, on Brawley
field.
The Redlands machine, rated the
best in the history of that insti-
tuition, outgained Brawley 100 yards
to A on running plays, Sc to A on
passing.
Brawley failed to get good block
ing, its running attack was impot-
ent and its defense was not ade-
quate to cope with the smashing
Redlands offense.
Ralph SkileS and Jack Fleming
played steady ball for Brawley in
the backfield and Nakamura, Har-
well and Brownell played their
usual games in the line, but the
Wildcat eleven just couldn't cope
with the class of the invaders.

his South American class and was
ready to callenge for supremacy in
the handicap division. ssss
There are too few good horses
running on the tracks for one like
Sorteado not to be badly missed.
JohnStown, who got so that he
whistled while he worked, is finish
ed, and so is Eight-Thirty. War
Admiral was cut down by illness
when he was in his prime, and Sea
Biscuit had to call it quits.
There aren't more than five or
six high class handicap horses left
in competition. When you name
Challedon, Kayak 2. Cravat, Iso-
lator, and Hash you have named
about all of them. You might pos
sibly add Sickle T to the list, but
no one would get mad if you didn't t,
not even Sickle T.
The breakdown of Johnstown,
Sorteado and Eight Thirty was a
bad break for Alfred Gwynne VAN
derbilt, young ambitious head of
the Pimlico track. These were three
of the crack runners he had plan
ned on sending to the barrier in the
Pimlico Special on November l.
He still has Challedon, Kayak 2,
Hash and Cravat, but November
is still long way off and there
is no telling what will befall these
now healthy critters.
Rival owners have often called
Howard the luckiest man in racing
but I'm not so sure that they are
right. Seabiscuit lost a pair of
photo finishes in the 500, 900 han
dicap at Santa Anita, and then went
sour just when the all-time money
winning record was within reach.
Now his $4,000 beauty. Sorteado, is
through. Racing still remains the
toughest of all games to beat, no
matter whether you are orsntHa
owning or the betting end.

League Football

1<C0SAC OOtoott
There were no perfect record
football teams in Imperial Valley
Saturday, that is, none except Cali
patria, as El Centre high school S
Spartans fell by the wayside by
losing 1870 decision to Sweetwater
high of San Diego.
AS result the valley league race
was once more thrown wide open
and every team in the loop was
rated a serious contender for the
county championship.
Holtville showed a reversal of
form by defeating Hoover reserves
1876, and as a result must be con-
sidered a contender. Brawley drop
ped a 26-0 decision to Redlands but
there were claims the Wildcats play
ed under wraps. Sheldon Lough-
borough, Brawley coach, comment
ed he wished he could believe that
statement.
Meanwhile there was little news
from Calexico high, where the WHY
Coach Ed Covington groomed his
charges for the league opening on
Oct. 81.
Calexico dropped two pre-game
decisions, one to Grossmont, a Sec
ond to Yuma, but there were indi-
cations that Calexico was stronger
than results signified.
El Centre high school was re-
turned to the category of unknown
Saturday as a result of the Spar
tan showing against Sweetwater.
The Spartans showed flashes OF
brilliance in Friday nights game,
flashes of anything but brilliance.
Should e. Centro play the brand
of ball of which it is capable, the
Spartans will be the class of the
league. Otherwise Central may be
the doormat.
Imperial high school, a nom
league combatant, was regarded
highly after its showing against
Blythe Friday night. Coach Albert
Klein's charges outgained and out
played Blythe in all but the first
quarter. Only fumbles thwarted a
certain victory.
There were some observers who

The ball game, from the opening
quarter until the final gun was
fired, was one of action, however
a battle of offenses rather than
defenseS.
Spartans Move '' 90
The Spartans started the ball
game as though they might GO
places, driving to the Sweetwater
IA yard line soon after the open
ing of the game, but Biff Gardner's
boys came back with a pair OF
smashing touchdown drives in the
second period that brought the
margin of victory.
Using the famous Notre Dame
shift, and bit of Notre Dame
blocking on end runs, Sweetwate1
smashed the Central defense to
bits in a second quarter that was
crammed with action.
Shifty Comacho, a Mexican Lao

Sweetwater territory twice, once to
the one yard line, but could moi
