from her? If not, why? Slim was
still wondering.
The Inaugural was race for horses
of all ages. Unthinkable, Slim
thought, that this immature 2-year-
old should even be asked to beat older
horses.
Only miracle could bring Heath
er's horse even close to the winners
circle.
Yet Knight Errant ran a credit
able race, overmatched as he was. He
gave the East flash of rare speed
for four of the six furlongs, before
curling up.
Bassitt ran Knight Errant right
back two days later in a mile and a
sixteenth race.
II suppose if there was a jumping
race carded for tomorrow, Bassitt
would have him in that, too," Slim
told Snapper in disgust, after seeing
Knight Errant run his fourth race in
a week.
Anxiously, at her aunt's home in
Piedmont, Heather watched the Ar
lington entries daily, certain each
time she saw Knight Grants name
as starter that the next day would
bring good news she had hoped for
so long. And each time her hopes
were dashed when she read the results.
Vainly she waited for news from Bas-
slit. At last came a scrawled note
from him.
"The hot weather isn't agreeing
with Knight Errant so good" it read.
"He amt exactly sick but he just
don't feel like running so good. But
l will soon have him acclimated and
will hone him up SOS you could run
him aver cobblestone road and he'd
still beat the Michigan Central into
Chicago"
Heather's hopes rose with this as
surance.,
Like Knight Errant, DlmpleS
Draper got rather tepid reception
from the Eastern turf scribes. They
had to "take back" when Dimples put
on real riding show opening day,
booting home four winners in eight
races.
And Draper kept right on, blazing
meteoric trail. His slashing rides
soon made the public flock to him.
Everything he rode was short pric-
ed favorite, whether the horse merit
ed that kind of backing or not. Peo-
pie were betting the jockey, not the
horse, and seldom were they disap-
pointed.

JACKSON DAY DINNER
IN BALTIMORE ON 9TH

Already LOO tickets have been sold
for the dinner which is sponsored by
the Concord Club, one of the oldest
and most powerful Democratic Clubs
in Maryland. 1t will be held in the
Lord Baltimore Hotel, Baltimore, Sat-
urday, January 9th.
Both Senator George L. Radcliffe
and National Committeeman Howard
Bruce, rivals for the Democratic NOM
ination for United States Senator, are
virtually certain to be present and to
be introduced.
Mayor Howard w. Jackson, of Bal
timore, will act as POSTMASTER, ap-
propriately enough, although the din
ner is in honor of the memory of An
drew Jackson, founder of the militant
Democracy a century ago. Mayor
Jackson, whose position in the Sena-
torial race is still an enigma, is GER
tain to give adherents of each candi-
date burst of elation.
Governor Herbert R. O'Conor, vice
president of the Concord Club, will
be declined reelection upon assuming
the Chief Magistracy of the State, is
also most certain to be present and
to receive tumultous greeting.
Democratic leaders from Baltimore
and from every county will be on
hand and politics will reach the top
note of vigor and suavity. fractional
lines will be blended, however, in a
glittering dance which will officially
wind up large evening.

was stopped by Reeder, whose party
was just having an after dinner BRAN
dy. Reeder congratulated Slim on his
success with Draper. The boy had
ridden a triple victory that after
noon.
"He does the riding, not me-" was
Sims unassuming comment.
Before he could make off, Reeder
had pulled a chair between himself
and Heather.
eyes, we've met BEFORE" Heather
said with softness she had never
shown toward Slim.
After a strained, though only mo-
mentary silence, Slim asked warily
where Heather was taking Knight
Errant after Tanforan.
ITO Arlington Park, Chicago" she
replied.
And with a faraway look which
Slim sensed was foreboding of the
future, she added:
"But it's impossible for me to go
with him."
Slim made no effort to conceal
scowl. Charlie Bassitt was going to
have an absolute free hand with
Knight Errant in the East. Bassitt
represented everything reprehensible
on a race track to Slim.
knight Errant."
"I'm going to Chicago, too," Slim
blurted. "And I'll keep an eye on
"That's kind of you," replied Heath
er in a soft voice that she had once
used in scorn.
The Reeder party broke up and
Slim went over to the bar, bubbling
with the thought of having won the
friendship of Heather. But moment
later he was tagging himself sap.
He had let dozen or so merely civil
words from Heather get under his skin
so completely that it changed his en-
tire plans for the summer.
The horsemen Draper had been rid
ing for were all going to race at Del
mar, Longacres and Caliente during
the summer months, and going to
Chicago meant building up an entire
ly new riding clientele. This wouldn't
be easy with rider of Diapers meag-
err reputation.
"Well, it's too late now; I can't
back out on her." Maynard told him
self, thinking of Heather's innocence
and the defense it might need against
Bassitt.
Slim put the chilled glass to his
lips:
Here's to Chicagop he thought
glumly.
No brass band waited to greet
Knight Errant when he poked his
train-sore head out of box car af-
ter the long trip from Tanforan and
shuffled down the runway to unload
at Arlington Park, Chicago.
The fact that he was the lone son
of the great Coronado created only a
ripple of curiosity among the Chi
cago turf writers. The East (and this
included, perhaps oddly, Chicago) was
skeptical about anything in the equine
line which came out of California.
Warren Brown, the sports editor,
was an exception.

written enthusiastically. But Brown
would be charitable to California, for
wasn't he native son from Sommers-
ville?'

Unused Snapper when he saw the
black colts name in the entries for
the inaugural.
He and Slim had arrived in Chicago
the day before.
Seems like I've heard you say that
before, more than once" drawled
Slim. "I'm not interested. I'm tired
of trying to guess Bassitt. We al
most got clipped the last time we
tried it."
Seeing Knight Errant win for Heath
err Mills would be sufficient roofing
interest for Slim, he thought Wasn't

1t is now taken for granted that

will be available. One suggestion is

Dunn Poll Favors
Wendell Willkie

NEW YORK - The Republican
national committee made public
the results of the Dunn poll. which
forecasts the election of Wendell
L. Willkie with a minimum of 334
electoral votes.
Using methods, which the Re-
publicans said were tested with
considerable accuracy in the 1885
presidential and 1888 congression-
al elections, the Dunn sampling
showed that the Republican presi-
dental nominee undoubtedly
would carry all the states north
Of Virginia, Kentucky. Arkansas
and Oklahoma, and, in addition,
would win Colorado. Wyoming and
Oregon.
Rogers c. Dunn, statistical ana
lyst who directs the survey, claim
ed to have found means of over
coming handieaps" encountered by
other polls, specifically those
which have run contrary to his
findings and predicted the over
whelming reelection of President
Roosevelt. One of the means, 1t
appeared, was consideration of the
vote of WPA workers in each
state.
