Badly Ouer,vorked

Alsab will have fresh backing in
the new book, and at better odds.
This horse proved he could run
against older rivals last week. There
isn't any question that he has been
badly overworked. If he hasn't
been, then practically every trainer
in Florida is wrong.
But the Derby is nearly six weeks
away. And Alsab may get enough
rest in that time to recover q good
part of his 1912 form. He was the
best horse in the Widener for q
mile and in eighth, and started to
fade only in the last 80 yards.
Ben Whitaker said a year ago
that Requested was the best horse
he had ever owned.
ssAnd he has improved q lot" the
Texan said before heading home.
'T'm mot going to pick him to win
the Derby, but know he has good
chance. Also, think AIsab Is q
better horse than he looked to be
In his first three starts at HiaIeah.
And / know that beating those Calu-
met entries won't be amy soft after
noon for anybody. That winter rest
In California won't do any harm
under trainer such rs Ben Jones
ISL
But these are not the only good
horses around. The Whitneys have
. few which might bring back glory.

CHAPTER TX

Dick Wayne went to bed, but It
seemed to him that he was not al-
lowed to stay there long. The first
Light was hardly showing in the sky
when his brothers were at him
again, literally clamoring at his very
bedside. r
Evidently they were angry, in adj
dition. ''What 10 the meaning Of
this?" Ernest Wayne demanded.
spinning q yellow sheet Of paper
onto the bed.
''What' the meaning Of what?"
Nobody but you," Ernest accused
him, could have had that radio
message sent" +
Dick picked up the paper, and by
the poor but increasing light read
what was typed upon it. Instantly
he was more wide awake than as il
he had never slept ut all. Il
when did this come inf"

lard told him. ''You ought to know.
There isn't anybody else that
could"
Tonga Dick looked at the mes
sage again. It read:
MAKE NO SETTLEMENT UNTIL
I ARRIVE GARRETT WATERSON
Dicks first reaction was, for spe-
cial reasons Of his own, one Of irn-
mense relief. But his next thought.
which followed Immediately brought
him a new uncertainty. The new
turn Of events relieved him Of GER
tain necessities; but it also took the
game out Of his own hands in q way
that he did not like.
Ernest Wayne's nervousness did
not permit him to wait Dick out.
''Well-what have you got to say?"
This message Is genuine" Dick
told them.
''This Is incredible this is fantas-
tic" Ernest said unsteadily.
Some kind Of q hoax" Willard
added.
There's no hoax about IT," Tonga
Dick assured them.
''How do you know this?" willard
demanded.
II work for him." Tonga Dick
said.
''You whats" Ernest Wayne bleat-
ed.
s.He's lying" willard expressed
himself.
''And just Why" Dick asked with
elaborate patience, should be ly-
ing?"
''Willard." Ernest said. "do you
suppose this thing could possibly be
truef Because II Garrett Waterson

do you see what that meansf John
Colts case il absolutely exploded"
Is it," Dick said.
They were stopped once more. Err
nest and Willard were both deathly
pale, overwhelmed by more unfore-
seen uncertainties than they were
able to handle.
''You mean" willard said at last,
that Garrett Waterson really 10 In

II mean" Dick said, 'sthat the
whole situation Is going to be just
exactly what old Garrett Waterson
chooses to make it,"

Their may be as good as Alsab on
Derby day, but Alsab is still too
much Of a guess and gamble.
Requested has improved more
than mere bit. And Ben Jones will
have more than one good horse ready
when the big race is run.
Before I left California Trainer
Jones told me that he might have
as many as four horses on hand
for the next Derby.
arm counting more on Sun Again
and Some Chance" he said, "but
! may have two others almost as
good. Derby day is still long way
of as far as thoroughbred is con-
cerned, but we ought to have some
thing left from the group"
At that time both Sun Again and
Some Chance looked fit enough to
run with any three-year-olds around
the map.
The wrecking upset that took
place in the recent 5000 Widener
now has the players in this tropical
domain looking for some longer
Derby prices. The mere sight Of a
favorite has become obnoxious, mot
to say repellent. 9
Florida favorites have been rum
ming like 20 to ! shots, only not quite
so fast. For example, neither The
Rhymer's trainer nor jockey thought
this horse had even an outside
chance. And when the crowd saw
all the favorites far back most Of
them wondered why they still had
dished out SO much cash on the top
choices, after what had been hap
pening all spring.

CIRCLE AIRDROME

MOSCOW, April Is QNS).-
Russian guerrilla fighters added
another brilliant chapter TO their
history today when they sur
rounded and attacked a German
airdrome on the BryanSk front
setting afire four bombers and Is
troop-carrying planes.
Reports reaching Moscow said
that the Germans were panicked
by the daring thrust. which came
in the wake of a Red army push
that was said to have smashed
into the second German defense
line of the BryanSk area.
The blows against BryanSk. 230
miles southwest of Moscow. were
apparently a part of a pincers
movement on SmolenSk, once the
Russian front headquarters OF
Adolf Hitler and unquestionably
one Of the most important points
in the Nazi defense line.
TodayS communique said Rus
sian planes shot down Ia German
aircraft Tuesday. Five Soviet
planes assertedly were lost in the
dog fights.
Russian warShips operating In
the BarentS Sea sank two enemy
transports, it was claimed.
