she said, to say that jobs offered

champions and near-champions were
beaten badly
Choosing between the two was
enough to make any Handicapped

good prospect in the big event,
but now rank longshot.
Midland, who brought his hfe's
earnings UP to $225,550, turned the

on a sloppy track.
Market Wise Magnificent.
Market Wise, the colt for which
Louis Tufano paid only $500, ran

Heseman Man 10 Beal
Seeking Third Win
In Big Dog Derby
Must Defect Tradition
For Another Triumph
In American Classic
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ASHTON, Idaho, Feb. 23.-Everett
Heseman, winner Of the Cedar Butte
Derby last month and of every dog
sled event he entered in 1941, was
the man to beat today in the 26th
annual running of the colorful
American Dog Derby.
Heseman, who has been racing
only three seasons and in that time
twice has won the Ashton classic
with his special breed Of crossed
staghound and Irish Setter stock
was a favorite to repeat among even
some Of the l3 other drivers who had
groomed their seven-dog teams fol-
the race.
Third Win Would Set Precedent.
One old-timer, however, called at
tention to the fact that winning
teams haven't lasted more than two
successive years in the past.
"A good team stays in the peak
Of condition for only a couple OF
races, at the best" he commented.
Cited as examples of the two-year
tradition were the three other two
time winners entered: Don Cord
ingly, winner in 1884 and 1885; Lloyd
Van Sickel, top driver in 1885 and
1897, and Celey Baum, 1898 and 1885
winner. Heseman won in 1910 and
1941. All four of the double winners
hail from Ashton.
Lone Woman Entered.
Crews were hard at work on the
Emile track, nestled in shadow OF
the towering Teton Mountains, as
visitors began arriving by hundreds
for the race.
Comely Alta Van Sickel, only
woman entered, drew No. / starting
position. Her husband, Lloyd, had
No. z, Heseman No. 4, and Baum
No. 6. In addition to numbers, each
driver was to wear a distinctively
