Other interested parties had other
opinions.
The Biscuits rider, Red Pollard,
said there wasn't a horse in the
world that could have caught him.
Tom Smith, the man who trains
both of the thorougnbreds, took the
same viewpoint. He said there never
was a day on which Kayak could
beat the Biscuit but he added that
the two of them were the greatest
handicap horses in America. How
ard himself did not comment
As 7 said the argument never will
be settled unless Howard wants it
settled. I want to take none of the
credit from Soabiscuit. But just as
hundreds Of people here in this
charming Arizona city want to
know, I want to know. Which is the
better horse?
So let them run it out. Let Howard
declare to win with both of them
in any race he can pick Or let him
arrange match race at equal
weight
That would be the best solution
In a large field, one or the other
might have an excuse. In match
race there would be no excuse. 1t
would be each horse and each jockey
for himself and the result of the
match would give the world an
answer There would be no more
questions out.
In such a race I don't know who
would win SeabiScuit has started
in two matches, with War Admiral
and LigarOti. He won them both.
Kayak IT went into the equivalent
of match race with Challedon in
the late Pimlico Special. He lost.
But there he gave away weight
six pounds because he was un-
fortunate enough to have been fOal-
ed in Argentina and gain a year
of age when he crossed the equator
Because I don't know who would
win, and the citizens of Tucson don't
know and you don't know, such a
match would be one of the great
races of history-if not the greatest
Certainly both horses deserve the
chance. and ] think We all deserve

CaleXico, hoping for cnance TO
enter the playoffs against Coronado

this wednesday but Ell Centre ask
ed for a league playoff on Friday
night. Such a plan would pit the
winner against Coronado on Satur-

Both teams presented reasonable
arguments in their disagreement
over the playing date. Calexico
pointed out that Wednesday night
