and counsel of physicians and veternar-

Off To A Wild And
"MuIy" Finish

Old Beck and her flop-eared "chillun"
Of the cotton fields: will hold the spot
light Wednesday night, August 2 at s
o'clock, when the Junior Auxiliary of
Greenwood sponsors it's fourth annual
Mule Races at Legion Field.
Proceeds from the event, as in former
years, will be used for care of under
privileged pre-school children.
! The mule races each year attract
rational attention. Altho the steeds lack
the pedigrees of the thoroughbreds,
these unpredictable hybrids of the ami
NAL world, offer all the thrills and spills
of any race track or steeple-chase.
Horsemanship, strategy and finesse in
mule handling are required when these
for a race. But no riders in the world
can excel the colored plantation jockeys
in their attempts to guide their mounts
around the course to the finishing line
and bring home winnings and wreaths of
glory to their own barn lots. Z
Despite the lateness of the cotton crop
this season, entries are being groomed
for the big show. Such favorites as Boil
Weevil, Little Cora. Jello, Whiz By, Jack
Rabbit, Ocean Breeze, Army Worm, Min
now Jim, Stormy Weather, PISS and 9TH
err flashes from the fields, are expected
that night along with others equally as
god.
Patrons will be furnished more excite
ment in one race than most tracks offer
in a season. Racing forms will include
those that gallop, lope, sjdeway stumbl-
ing and other motions known only by
a mule and will keep up suspense as to
the outcome of every event.
Plantation colors will fly in the breeze
as each mule decides on what brand of
they make, there is always a doubt about
the finish. Ore animal never known to
jump a mud puddle may carry himself
and rider over the tallest psrt of the
race track fence. Skilled riders may be
left in mid-air as the mule decides to re-
verse the field and again, the stubborn
creature may lump his jockey and run
by himself. But it is all of these and
more that makes the mule races classics
of the turf.
There will be plenty to interest every
body at the fourth annual event August
2. so start now making plans to attend,
and incidentally, arrangements are made
to back your favorite.
