Fresh from record achievements,
neither Henson nor Risk reached
the top of their games last night,
Henson averaging rs per cent ring
ers and Risk, 10. A week prior, the
Arlington star, who holds the Metro

nual Evening Star tournament,
tossed IS per cent in league match

in an exhibition in New England,
fired Al straight to beat his own
world mark, made under champion
ship conditions. of IS.
Plainly showing the effects Of
pushover competition, Risk, who
earns his livelihood trick pitching
labored through most of the match
while Henson gave the impression
he could raise his ringer pace a good
10 per cent whenever needed. Due
to forcing, Risk lost many ringers
that bounced from the stakes while
his rival throughout was the per-
soniflcation Of smoothness.

Henson plans to try for the ma

FeneIon Has Good Chonce
To Help WincheII

According to our vice president In
charge of worrying, the horse to fear
is Fenelon. This Llama was dis
covered earlier in the year by WAL
ter Winchell. the great Handicapped
who writes his stuff in code. Winchell
learned of the existence of horses in
the latter part of 1888. A few
months afterward. he found out ex-
clusively that these critters have
four legs apiece, and since then he
never has taken a backward step,
which is more than you can say for
the horses he picks.
Walt picked Fenelon for the Ken
lucky Derby. Fenelon never reached
the post at the derby. because he
caught cough one evening while
lolling at Winchell's table in the
Stork Club. I will not state fatty
that he caught the cough from
Winchell, but it's a mighty peculiar
coincidence that Walt had been
coughing himself for couple of days
before that.
Fenelon continued to whoop and
sneeze right through the Belmont
stakes. Winchell's cold had cleared
UP by then, but Winchell was not
eligible for the Belmont, being more
than 3 years old.
You have to say this for Fenelon-
he never forgets a friend. Recently
they took the mustard plasters of

HE couldn't be worse" replied the

That is slight exaggeration.
After all. Bimelech has won the
Preakness and the Belmont, two
