LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6. tUP)-
From a thoroughly biased source
comes the information that Midland
is the horse to beat in that gaudi-
est of gallops, the Santa Anita $780,
COO handicap.
My informant is Leon Buddy
Haas, a cameo-faced little cuss
from Oklahoma who has ridden Mo-
land in several important stake vic
tories, and who will have leg on
the c. S. Howard ace on March |.
Midland will have four or five
pretty good horses to beat in the
handicap" Haas told me during a
round of golf yesterday, "but I'm
mighty sure he can do it. AS l fig
ure the race, the winner is certain
TO come out of a group of five
horses-Mioland, Challedon, Can't
Wait, Woof Wool and Impound-
and 1 think I've got the best one.
l knoW this much-so far Midland
has done everything we have asked
him TO do
Haas rode Kayak II, another
Howard ace, TO a smashing second
behind Seabiscuit in the last handi-
cap and I asked him how he thought
Midland compared with the Argen-
tine thoroughbred who is out of the
race because of injuries.
Hes a better horse than Kayak,
he answered. AT least I think so,
and l know EN- pretty well. Midland
is the kind of horse you want in a
race like the handicap. It's long
race, there is alWayes a big field,
ana there is usually plenty of trou-
BILE. Midland is the sort of horse
that can get in trouble and not be
ruined by it. I mean. he has enough
late power and stamina TO keep
coming. Here's the soft of horse he
is. He can go good half mile and
then do d quarter III :23 And that
will have him running over horses.
III tell you this-he can be six or
seven lengths off the leader at the
three eights pole and I'll still bet
he'll catch and beat EN- ALL

Todays Sport Parade

Walking along the fairWays, with
the birds chirping and the four
some cusslng over missed shots, Haas
confided that he believes the bust
ness of being a jockey is the most
thankless job in the world
You never do anything right
you know he said. With the bet
ting public. that is. When you win
everybody says you should have
won-that you had the best horse
and all the luck. When you lose
you're a bum. a crook. a cheat,
and everything else. No one ever
stops TO think that there are 80
ways TO lose race and only one
way TO win one"
Haas talked frankly about the
general belief that jockeys, as a
whole, are a trifle on the shady
side and spend their time forming
gambling rings in oroer to clean up
a fortune.
II know how lots of people feel,
but wish they'd just stop TO think
how crazy such a thing is. Take
iitt III thdiiiplts L get Il CilOuodllu
dollars month from Mr.. Howard,
plus my stake fees and things Not
fortune but pretty good money.
Now if I we're crooked, and worked
with crooked jockeys, and knew
how the races were coming out, I'd
soon be a millionaire, wouldn't I?
So would all the other boys. We'd
break a track in a month with our
bets. But are any of the boys mil
lionaires? No, they're out there
every day trying to get mounts,
trying 10 get work IN one of the
most dangerous businesses in the
world We can't even get insurance
without paying SO much for it that
it doesn't make sense to take it out.
We're in the same group with test
pilots and fellows like that"
Today am going to Santa Anita
and bet on every horse ridden by
Haas. For once he shall have an
understanding bettor yelling for
him. However, If he loses a race.

chance today that Aurelio Alcantar
and Hector Linn might still be in
eligible for tonight's contest.
Calexico, playing without the star
forward and guard, was able TO
edge out Imperial by only five points
Tuesday afternoon, indicating that
the two sharpshooters are far more
valuable to the Calexico offense
than Bulldog supporters care to
admit.
The Hornet squad, on the other
