MONEY MEANS NOTHING

Calumet is fabulous and price
less institution dedicated to raising
horses who can win races like the
Derby and the Preakness. Here
money means nothing. 1t is merely
something to be used in achieving
q goal. Every man and every blade
OF grass on the farms 1900 acres
is devoted TO fine thoroughbreds.
The eight horses Wright and
Jones nominated for the Derby this
year were the cream of some 60
youngsters foaled in 1899. All 60
were produced from the best blood
and were given the best care in
the world. Now, not even one of
them has proven good or fit enough
to be sent into Col Matt WINS

- Remember the nursery rhyme
about the 10 Little Indians who sat

Honest Ben Jones, the head man
at Warren Wright's Calumet Farm,
or he is apt to dent your skull
with the nearest axe.
1t seems that two months ago
there were eight little Calumet
Kentucky Derby eligibles standing
in a line. Well, one dropped off
and then there were seven. Then
another one went bad and there
were six. To keep this piece to
reasonable length I'll state at this
point that to date they've all drop
ped away and now there is none.
WHIRLAWAY SET RECORD
The vagaries of the turf were
never more wildly highlighted.
Last year Jones had only one
thoroughbred who was eligible for
the Derby. His name was Whirl-
away and his disposition was wild,
wonderful and completely whacky.
But Whirlaway suddenly turned
straight. He won the Derby and
he set an amazing track record
on doing it.
This year Jones started with
eight glittering prospects. In order
of ability, they were Sun Again,
Some Chance, Col Teddy, Wish
bone, Markell, Paratheen, Yukon
and Early n Smart. AS juveniles,
Sun Again won the Arlington Flu
turity and Some chance the Bel
mont They were some shucks,
really.
Now, nine days from the big show
at Louisville, the husky Kansan
doubts that Calument's devil red
and blue silks will even reach the
post. At the moment there is only
the barest chance that Sun Again
can be readied for the Derby. The
others have been written off the
books as mere might-have-be

Jones and Wright this year. just
how cruel nobody realizes, until
he has seen Calumet farm. Not
until he has walked through the
vastness of its blue grass pastures,
gazed at it's scores of indigo blood
ed brood mares and been aWed by
its imperious stations can he know
just how quickly a mans luck can
