Today's Sports Parade

/ FitZsimmOnS had with Granville
Preparing a horse for the Derby is
no overnight job. 1t takes years,
and Granville was aimed at the
race the minute he was foaled.
Through colds and fevers and bone
injuries he was nursed. Through
sunshine and rain he was worked.
He came up to the start a fit
horse, q keen horse ready horse.
Then, all the long months of
work went for nothing. Before he
could run 50 yards he was riderleSs
and his chance to become a Derby
winner was gone forever
That's the hell of racing-any-
thing can happen. Sitting in a
tap room last night an old horse
man told the true story Of q Ger
tain Kentucky breeder who, year
after year. was cheated out of vic
tories by hard racing luck. But
he was a philosophical fellow, and
his luck never was SO bad that he
couldn't find some reason for con-
ISOLATION. Then there came an af-
ternoon when the pride and JOY
Of his life, a sleek little filly who
could run like a scared thing right
on up to q mile and a quarter,
went to the post in a big stake
Counting the purse, which was a
big one, and the old Kentuckians
bets, he stood to win something like
$4,000 if the filly won. A sixteenth
of a mile from home the filly was
three lengths out in front, and
running away. Then, all Of sud-
den, her legs got crossed and down
she went in a heap, TO bobble in
bad last
The old Kentuckian's friends
stayed away from him as long as
they could, knowing that this blow
was too much, and that they would
meet a crushed man.
Finally they went to him and
found him smiling He had found
mis- consolation.
Gentlemen" he said, I'm get
ting old. but never again will I
worry about dying of heart fail
IRE. When the filly went down,
and I didn't keel over, I knew I
was forever safe from any trouble
like that 1t is very comforting"
And, while you haven't asked me
for any advice, believe you will
find it very comforting to have a
little wager on Johnstown Satur-
day. If he doesn't win I solemnly
promise not TO make another Derby
selection-until this time next year.
