SO there they were last night.
Arcaro had the backslaps. Every

the verbal bouquets, but across
from him a man was watching
and saying nothing. 1t was Ben

McCREARY PROVES BEST

Arcaro said nothing back. But
today the story of man and beast"
hit glory headlines and this time
il was Ben Jones, the trainer,
taking all the press clippings, the
marbles and the chalk away from
Arcaro.
Eddie wasn't the best jockey in
the world this particular after
noon. That honor went to a little
guy they call the "hunchback of
Notre Dame" His name is Conn
McCreary.
He was the best today, but a
lot of my friends who know their
way around a race track, tell me
Conn might have had a lot of help
when it counted most. He had it
from fellow jockey.
There is supposed to be a very
tough rivalry between Eddie Ar

on Broadcloth, the second horse,

this afternoon.
BIG TEST IN STRETCH
When they hit the stretch it was
Broadcloth and Woolf in front.
Broadcloth was flattened out like
a racing rabbit, with his belly to-
the ground This was the time
now. All the cunning of man and
beast was at stake. All the
gameness of that thoroughbred
was at stake. Only handful ever
make that stretch ride at Louis

Today it was Woolf and Broad
cloth in front. 1t was Stir Up,
the crowds choice, making his run
for it. He came up to challenge.
And then came Pensive.
Yes. the racing guys l know are
talking about it, and they say that
perhaps the big longtime rivalry
between Arcaro and George Woolf
could be the truck of rturnipS to-
I day. Because Woolf, although he
didn't win on .Broadcloth. forced
Arcaro and Stir Up 10 lose ground
