Chance for New

For Cha|Iedon
Legs Sound Again, He
Runs Like Horse of
Championship Doys
By SID FEDER,

ASSOCidLtu fTtSS SpOTlS WIlteI.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-Having had
good look at Challedon in the
stretch, Florida folk probably are
willing to admit today that there
is something good about California
after all.
For when Big Pete came roaring
down to smashing second at
Hialeah Saturday in his first outing
since they wrote his obituary last
July, he was running on legs made
sound again by daily baths in the
Pacific off California's shores.
Last summer you could have had
any price against the chances of
w. L. Brann's big hoss ever an
swering the starters come on"
again. He had been well-whipped
several times and looked more like
a selling platter in fast company
than the champ of 1899 and 1910.
He was as washed up as last weeks
laundry. There was no official ex-
PLANTATION of just what was wrong,
but you heard that the trouble was
everything from a cracked quarter
to the gout.
Brann decided right then to try
the Pacific baths on the ailing legs
of Challenger DDS big bay son. 1t
worked so well Challedon was able
to turn on that famous run home
Saturday for the first time in year
the same run down the straight
road with which he stole Johns
towns thunder three years ago and
which made him the horse of the
year two seasons in a row.
And now, he not only ranks as one
of the choices for the rich Widener
coming UP, but with Whirlaway shut
out of picking up any loose change
this winter, f1oppy-eared Pete also
may get first crack at Seabiscuit's
S437, ,730 winning record.
At this moment, Whirly stands in
third place with some 1912 900.
Challendon's bankroll is about $685.
900. If he remains sound-and the
word is he came out of Saturdays
session as smoothly as a clock-the
long-maned galloper can close a lot
of the gap in the Widener and
whatever other paydays there are
around Florida this winter.

The Dyer Trophy for light tackle
went to Henry Ramsdell of Bar

Cases Are Similar.
On another autumn day l9 years
ago. another Nebraskan came to
Ryder and said:
MY names Hahn, Lloyd Hahn.
Will you teach me how to run, Mr..
Ryder?"
AL right, SON." Ryder said on
that occasion and he had the same
answer for young Dodds last fall.
Daily and faithfully they worked
with Ryder showing the youth all
the tricks of indoor running-how
to shave the corners, jockey for the
lead and whittle of the yards by
crowding the pole.
Today it appears as if he had an

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-George

on the chin from st. Johns, 50-46,
in the first half of a twin bill that
lured some $4,000 fans to Madison

The Colonials never have won in
the Garden and they started out
as if to defend this record. They
were jittery and erratic in the first
half. which ended with st. Johns
holding a 23-17 lead, but an about
face in the second almost produced
an upset and might have materi-

His plea was made on the advice
of Lloyd Hahn, fellow Nebraskan
