This Sporting World
Rocing Coined Some .Slon1 Expressions
Ry JOHN a. WUNEV

Racing and horse teSminology have been responsible for some colorfal and thoroughly descriptive additions ho the American language, Many terms ln daily use, such as they're of" left ct the post" "also ran" and others have come to be taken Tor granted. When a horse Is hide~oound you call a veterinary but when you call a person hide-oound It's because there's little you can do about his opinions or habits. The word Thor oalphhred, literally the breed Of rae~ inc horses, has come to be synonym ous with anything fine or distinctive and to get his goat" originally meant to ahduct a horses mascot, usually Q goat, with real or tancteo Sl-effectS to the horse.
 A nrofesscr of classic languages recently contacted the IRA, look tTlr for the origin of the term "Garrason finish" which has come to be e part of the language, in sports circles at least, Edward Henry Garrison, more fsniliarly known as Snapper" a nickname he earned while learning the finer points of raoe-riding under the famed Father Bill Daly, was one ot the great riders ot the last cen- Sury and in later years a respected racing official. 1t was GarrisonS theory that horse was capable ot but one run at top speed and that the proper place to use this burst of speed was in the homestretch. He rarely allowed his mount to set she pace and usually came with rush to be ''there or thereaboutS' at the finish. Riders today use the same technique in longer races but one who has attracted attention in this respect in Conn McCreary.
 Garrison's style of riding was the exact opposite of that favored by Nather Bill Daly who is credited with Ceyelopang such greats as Winnie ONConnor, Danny Maher, Dare devil" Fitzpatrick, Harry Griffin, the Tannlsy brothers end Q half dozen okhe.S, On the race track to pc on the Bin Daly" means to be otf to e long early lead.

Biggest of the giants in the making is Model 37, built@by Con- solidated Vultee. A fleet of these 2O4-passenger planes will appear sometime in 1946.
 These clippers will carry more passengers than any airplane in the world. Their wings span more than double the length of the Liberator bomber's wings. Each weighs 320,000 pounds. and can cruise across the nation or the oceans at 342 miles an hour. This brings London within about nine hours from New York. Model 37's six engines will pro- duce power equivalent to 353 average automobile engines. Like the Stratocruiser, Model 37 will be completely double deck. Lux urious passenger facilities and a number of rest rooms will make travel comfortable.
 What do these planes mean to the traveller? Ten hours. coast to l coast. You can leave New York City at midnight, after attending the theater, and land in California l at z a. m. Remember the three hour time difference! You can land | at Shanghai, China, about 2l hours out of San Francisco. That's | 3h days better than by pre-war airplanes.
 The manufacturers are building speed, safety and comfort into these goliaths. They will usher in a completely new era of transpor- ltation-

degree levei.
 Another luxury liner will be the DC-6, by Douglas. This one will be completely pressurized, heated and cooled-to maintain temper ature of 70 degrees in all weather. Somewhat larger than the C-54, so widely used by the armed forces. the DC-6 will be 80 inches longer and 60 miles an hour faster than it's Administrations prede- cessor. The DC-6 can carry 70 passengers sitting up, or smaller number in berths.
 Two Decks in This One
 Third to be produced will be the Boeing Stratocruiser. Unlik e former planes, this one will carry two decks. More than 100 com binations can be provided, for various hauling jobs.
 Standard version win transport 57 passengers and cargo space equivalent to 100 home type re- frigerators.
 The Stratocruiser will fly faster than any airplane now in service clipping off $40 miles an hour. Il is in reality a double Superior tress, for the upper deck rides pic a-back atop the lower. Its fuselagt looks like an inverted figure eight Some time ago one of these planes flew nonstop from Seattle | Wash, to Washington, D. C., in few minutes over six hours. II this one, passengers will fly at SC; level pressure up to 15.000 feet, bu no more than 6,000 feet high n' matter to what altitude the plan lmay climb.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-C0n- structicn and operation of mag netic and seismological observatory al Fairbanks, Alaska, at a cost of sll4,0o0 was approved today by the House Appropriations committee.
 The committee introduced in the House the annual appropriation bill for the commerce department con- tsining the appropriation for the coast and geodetic survey
 Officials of the survey told the House Appropriations Committee during hearings on the bill that the present observatory at Sitka, Alaska is inadequate. They said develop ment of aviation in the Territory made construction of the Fairbanks observatory an urgent matter. Ade- quate magnetic data, now lacking, would contribute to the safety of air travel, they said.
 The officials said the observatory would consist of seven buildings.

dispute over retroactive pay be sub mitted to arbitration by Dr. Yer non Mund of Seattle. The question to be submitted for arbitration is Does the War Labor Board direct i've of August Is, 1945, pertaining to Pacific Coast longshoremen ap- ply to Alaska.
 Tn Seattle, officials of the Inter national Longshoremen's and Ware housemen's Union indicated the proposal may be acceptable pro-. viding employers agree to pay the $1.32 hourly scale during arbitra- tion'"
 Settlement Looms Previous offers made by both sides leads to an apparent conclusion that a settlement may well be near. At the beginning Of negotiations in Ketchikan. the shipping companies
 who are also acting for lceal Alas ka dock operators in the dispute speaking through the Waterfront Employers Association, offered to pay the $132 base hourly rate pro vided longshoremen would discharge all ships during further negotia- ticns.
 Last Saturday, Steve Glumaz ot Seattle, International Represents tive of the ILWU, agreed to arbi- tration of the retroactive pay issue and selected Dr. Mund as the un- ions choice for arbitrator witt agreement to abide by his decision
 Whether tl,e original offer made by the employers at Ketchikan has since been withdrawn following un- ion refusal to accept it at that time as a basis for future negotiations is not known here Also, arbitra- tion was not a part of that propos- al.
 Ship Remains Here 1 Present advices indicate that ths North Sea will remain in port here Indefinitely awaiting strike settle ment and discharge of her more than 500 tons of Juneau cargo once the Juneau cargo is cleared out of the way, she is then expected to go south via Sitka, unloading hay and other items not avail. able for unloading when she recent ] ly put into Sitka to unload pass engers.
 The steamer Taku, unable to dis charge here last week end, is now reported to have been ordered tt proceed from Skagway back te Ketchikan, taking her Juneau cargS south with her.
 1 Still in port here also is tht Alaska Line freiehter Victoria, while another freighter of that line, thf Derblay, is strike-bound at Ketchi- kan.

 LOS ANGELES, Cal.-In the testing laboratories and on light courses, grim war is being waged.
 Upon the results of this conflict depend the airplanes in which you will ride during coming years.
 Four air giants are being groomed by a quartet of manu- lecturers. Each hopes to capture the airlines.
 First to reach the airlines is the Lockheed Constellation. a sleak four-engine job capable of span ming the nation in 10 hours, with perhaps a single stop. That's some seven hours faster than the dependable twin-engine jobs most of the airlines use today.
 This 00-mile-an-hour transport only recently passed stringent tests laid down by the Civil Aero nautics board, and has been ap- proved for airline use. Connie can take off with a full weight of 90,- 900 pounds, take off with one engine off, land over a 50-foot obstacle and come to a halt in 2,400 feet.
 Connie is the first postwar air plane to have pressurized cabin Pumps force air into the cabin te maintain a pressure equivalent tc 5000 feet altitude, no matter how high the plane may fly. That means greater comfort for the passengers.
 Too, refrigeration units vii keep the temperature near the 75
