Careful" Hardy said, careful.
What is left of this shirt cost me
$4,000. That runs to almost $4,000
a yard, and no man in the world
but me has ever paid such a price. "
Actually, the silk jockey shirt
cost Hardy more than that Because
the $4,000 he put into his stable
during two years OF sensational
failure does not include the wagers
he made on his own horses as q
proud owner.
There never was time that q
horse of mine went TO the post"
Hardy admits, that I did not ex-
pect him to win, even if he were
running against Seabiscuit, War
Admiral, JohnstoWn, Kayak II and
Challedon."
The record books show that Mr..
HardyS faith never was justified.
All the horses mentioned above
were beaten at one time or another,
but never by an animal bearing the

also ran" was invented just because
of his stable, and that the only
thing that kept his horses from
holding their own with the greatest
thoroughbreds on the turf was the
starter
IF they had done away with the
starter" he says, II would have
done all right. My horses were the
equal of any until the time came

Every baseball regulation in re-

Hubbell said. Pitchers today are Just
as hardy as they ever were. and
proabbly take better care of them
selves, but il wasn't until the early
pos that they had TO pitch the live
balls they're using today. And up TO
20 years ago pitchers used q lot
OF 'cheaters' like the spitball.
When a "sailer" ball goes past q

the umpire comes trotting out with
a new ball. It's hard to do much
with a ball like that so the pitcher

fective as Bill Tilden's service in
tennis.
Delivery of the "screwball", how
ever, called for a severe arm twist
and that twist put Hubbell on the
shelf in 1898. AT the end of the
season he underwent an operation
TO remove bone chip from his ell
bow.
Hubbell rounded into shape
slowly in 1899 but hit his stride
again at the end of the season by
winning nine out OF eleven games,
He hopes to take up this year

Hubbell, before his arm began
