Rideouf Twins Seen
Winning ; Relays
Al Penn Meet
Troin IN PhiIIy After

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April ga
triple track triumph with twin
teachers ."
Coach Chuck Sportsman of North
Texas State Teachers College pre-
dicted 1t today without tongue trip
ping because he counts on the
"rhyming Rideout" twins to do it
without toe tripping.
The Rideouts, Wayne and Blaine,
started workouts at Franklin Field
for the Penn relays Friday and Sat-
urday, They motored 1700 miles
from Denton, Tex, to run ~ miles,
for their coach relies on them for
firsts in the mile, distance medley
and 4-mile relays.
Coach Sure They'll Score.
When a college coach doffs the
pail Of pessimism for a cloak of con-
fidence that's almost man. -bites-dog
news. Here are some reasons why
Coach Sportsman believes the twins
green jerseys will be in front at the
4Oth annual University of Pennsyl-
vania show:
/. Blaine ran the mile in 4:108 in
the Sugar Bowl meet at New Or
leans last winter, finishing second
to the master. Glenn Cunningham
2. Wayne did it In 4:109 in the
B. A. A. meet, Boston, also yielding
only to Cunningham.
3. Blaine-no, Wayne (the jingle
gets confusing)-beat Cunningham
IN the a4-mile and set a world rec
ord Of 3:03 at the Princeton invita-
tion meet last June.
4. They paced their team to a
1868 victory in the distance medley
at the recent Kansas relays.
Both Wear Spectacles.
The twins wear spectacles and
thick coats OF Texas tan. They look
like teachers and teachers they hope
to be-of high school track teams.
They are "B" students and live in
the college town to which they moved
with their mother from Tuscola, Ill
Rather narrow of chest and 1.-the of
limb, they jog around the track
with motion that looks as If they
wore bed springs instead of spikes.
Sportsmen said this 21-year-old
pair-Blaine is slightly taller than
Wayne-is model of brotherly af-
fection.
That's why hate to put 'em in a
race together" he remarked. They'll
try to finish In a dead heat. They
don't want to beat each other"
Maryland twice and Georgetown
once will face the task Of competing
against the twins.
The Terps are In the distance med
ley and 4-mile races and the Hoyas
will seek the mile crown.

can tell you confidentially, how
ever, that Trainer Fitzsimmons Is
walking on very thin ice with the
members of the Johnstown March,
ing and Chowder Club. Take the
matter of the sugar franchise, for
instance. Our club, meeting in
Gooley's malt pavilion, delegated
one member to go down to Johns
towns barn and feed the hoss sugar
as a token Of our confidence and
esteem. The sugar was contributed
free Of charge by Mr.. Cooley, who
has small bet on Johnstown for
the Derby, across the board.
Trainer Fitzsimmons not only re-
Jected the offering but threw our
delegate out of the stable on his
ear. There were extenuating cir
cumstances, however, for he un-
doubtedly mistook the sugar for CO.
caine and our delegate for Speed
ball Steve, the noted doper. There is,
IN fact, a slight resemblance.
The Committee on Past Per-
formance reports that two winners
Of the Wood Memorial Stakes have
gone on to win the Derby-Gallant
Fox in 1880 and Twenty Grand in
1881.
The Committee on Worrying re-
ports that it will worry about Tech
nician for the next two days. The
Herbert M. Woolf horse has been
burning up the track in Kentucky

worry about hash.

Johnstown Fans Keep

BY JOHN LARDNER,

opeclAl Correspondent OF Inc star.
NEW YORK, April rs N.A.N.A)
AS secretary and treasurer Of the
Johnstown Marching and Chowder
Club (of1ces located on 80 convent
ent corners, under 80 convenient
lamppostD, I wish to report that our
honorary president. the hoss him.
self, is now 8 to 2 for the Kentucky
Derby.
Everything hinges on what the
president does next Saturday, when
he goes up to a mile and 10 yards
at Jamaica in the Wood Memorial
against such brooding. vindictive
goats as Ell Chico. Gilded Knight,
Counterpoise. Heather Broom and
T. M. Dorsett.
The Derby follows a week after
that. Naturally, we are going to
win the Derby, but we would like
to cop the Wood first, just to dis
courage these Eastern cattle. Then
we would be able to turn the full
force of our personality on Challe-
don, Technician, Xalapa Clown and
the livestock now quartered at the
scene of the crime, Louisville, KY.
Looks Okoy to Boekers
Despite Topped Eor
Your secretary is glad to be able
to report that Johnstown looks very
good. He always looks good to
the members of this club, but there
are certain purists in the racing
game who contend that his right
ear is slightly Topped, which appears
to make him guilty of high treason
and misdemeanors, though he was
born that way.
The way we feel about this at
the club Is: Johnstown's starboard
ear may indeed be trif1e short
of its quota. but what of it? The
ears of a thoroughbred horse gen.
orally are measured in terms OF
regulation major league baseball,
one ear supplying enough horsehide
to wrap, one lively ball. Maybe in
Johnstown's case you would need
q longer stitch to make the wrap
ping meet, but they are not going
to make baseballs out of our honor
ary president for another Is years
at least, and by that time Joe Di
Maggie will be too old to know what
he is hitting anyway.
The Committee on Johnstown's
Right Ear has decided to table the
whole matter as soon as one of the
members wins a bet and buys a
table.
Your treasurer reports a long,
and so far losing, fight to induce
Mr.. Sunny James Fitzsimmons,
nominal trainer of Johnstown, to
pay the clubs passage down to
Louisville. so that the members can
root the Pres. home in the manner
to which he is accustomed.
Mr.. FitZsimmons has taken q
very short sighted stand on this
matter. Approached with great tact
and delicacy by your treasurer, Mr.
Fitzsimmons said:
ut boils down to this. I can take
your members down to the Derby,
or 1 can take the horse. Now,
which do you think I ought to do?"
''It sounds like a close thing"
said your treasurer, stalling for time.
THAT will be a hard decision to
make"
mo, 1t won't" said Mr.. Fitz-
simmons, shortly II am taking the
horse. So long"
