Early Morning Bowie Scenes
Breed Tolerance for Those
Who Handle Race Horses

Enjoyment at the race track is
not restricted to putting over q win
ner.
Those who make a practice OF
arising before dawn to visit q race
track derive pleasure and knowl-
edge in watching behind -the-scene
activities. Many folks who curse
losing favorite's owner, trainer,
jockey and stable boy would not do
so if they saw and heard the re-
hearsing.
Yesterday Bowie race track was
buster than F street at Christmas
time Nearly all of the 100 horses
quartered at the once-outlawed oval
were exercised in one manner or
another. Some were given sharp
breezes. few merely sauntered
along with stable pony and others
were broken from the new-fangled
stall gate. All were r'arin' to 20,
as invariably they are on q brisk
morning.
Starting Gate Center Of Activity.
AS usual, the center of activity was
around the starting gate. Every
intended racer at track must
make an official greeting to the
starter or his assistant. Some fail
to measure up to those often mis-
judged experts standards and thus
cannot start until lessons in be-
havlor have been learned. Some
times the fellow in the grandstand
wonders whether or not the animal
upon which he has wagered ever
has been taught the rudiments of
starting, but the truth is each horse
is drilled painstakingly in this re-
spect.
Any trainer will insist there are
hundreds of ways to lose a race and
most OF them say that in the ma
jority of cases the race is lost at the
barrier. And when they tell YOU
this they do not always mean that
a ragged start is the cause. Many
horses, they say, must be left alone
after the starter releases the gate.
Some, of course. have to be whipped
away and get on top Immediately or
they're licked. Front runners, they
call them. But with others the less

Seven years ago Walter F. James as
sumed the duties of secretary-tourna-
ment director of the Correspondence
Chess League Of America. At the

the whole story.
But when Mr.. James took over

Pollard Rode Last Race
As Biscuit Finished

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 30.-Sea
Biscuit and Red Pollard have quit
the racing wars together.

Anita Handicap it was his last
appearance in the saddle.

their riders hurry them the better
their chances OF winning.
Except for those hard headed.
contrary racers which never take to
. starting gate, 2-year -olds naturally
are the most difncult post actors.
Despite the quiet treatment all
racers are given these youngsters
have . deadly fear Of the barrier.
Acting much like q puppy facing his
first bath, most Of them tremble at
the mere sight Of the device and
often refuse to bulge. Calm per-
suasion does not always subdue this
emotion or change their statue-like
pose. Many must be waited upon
until the fear passes and that might
require half an hour. Even after
they have nudsed with their noses
into the contraption they are apt
to REBEL.
After finally entering and slowly
walking away from the stall .
youngster still has much to 60
through. That's when he's lined
up, closed in the stau and on his
own. The hunched dover midget on
his back assures him that all Is well,
and then when the starter squeezes
his hand, releases the wickets with
the accompanying clang of the bar
rier bell and yells come on" the
future champ-or chump-loses all
faith in mankind.
It's terrifying. The colt streaks
away. legs flying seemingly in every
direction. Sometimes a whip harshly
and quickly applied brings the de-
sired forward speed but this often
ruins a horses chances for future
success. A keen memory is An
equine's closest approach to reason
ing; seldom does 1t forget q first
impression. and whip under such
conditions is not calculated to beget
tractability. However, barrier shy
ness not always is ruinous, for many
Of the greatest horses have been all
but unmanageable at the post
throughout their careers.
Starters Are Forgiving.
While the man in the stands
sometimes delights In heaping abuse
on q starter or his assistants, these
greatly misunderstood unknowns are
patient and forgiving. They have to
be, Of course. or else they would last
but short time in their profession.
They know that each animal that
comes under their care must be
handled with kid gloves. although
the gloves sometimes must embrace
a leather whip. Usually, they have
first-hand knowledge Of each horse
and know his phobias. It's matter
Of cause and cure with them, the
cause due to some one else, the cure
up to them. Failure to cure means
criticism.
This isn't 'be kind to starters
week." but when Bowie throws open
it's gates tomorrow and the man most
responsible for q clean break at the
barrier climbs into his little stand
facing a dozen or so high strung
thoroughbreds with the idea Of re-
leasing them simultaneously, re-
member fans, that man knows his
Job like an Elkton parson. And If
his efforts are ineffective likely It's
not his fault.

BOY SCOUT
Organization Explained

(The duties of the scout executive
will be considered in the third analysis
of the Boy Scout program and how it
operates for some boys over a large
area-EditoD.
Fundamentally, the Boy Scout pro-
gram is operated, supervised and con-
Quoted by volunteer Scouters who serve
and are represented in district COM
mitteeS, area councils and the national
council itself. These men serve without
compensation as a form OF patriotic
community service because they are
interested in the welfare of the youths
of their communities. In as much as
these men cannot make it their main
business, the Boy Scout movement has
developed plan of promotion where
these volunteers in each council raise
council budget through personal
solicitation and contributions from the
public, from which they hire a trained
Scout executive to look after the
business affairs and records of the
council and its many troops. This
executive meets with the local district
committees of the Is districts of the
council, helps keep their organization
active, and acts as training source
for the men who need instructions,
Scouting advice on procedure and pro-
grams and encouragement.
There are over 100000 volunteers who
are active in Scouting as troop leaders
district officials and troop committee
men. These men are organized and
