STILL PITCHING

Glyn Brooks, a Chicago
railroad worker, was asked
last week how men in the
railroad shops feel about the
election returns. Brooks is
secretary of t h e National
Railr "a d Division of the
Progressive Party.
He rubbed his ear calcu-
latingly and said: "WelI, two
days after the election, 1 got
a letter from a Southern Illi-
nOis railroad brother asking
for more Wallace buttons.
II guess they're still in
there pitching"
The Illinois standard. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1948-1949, 1948-11-20

Wallace concluded with the
call Lets hold them to il"
Close to three hundred new
party leaders from 48 states and
Puerto Rico gathered in the
KnickerbOcker Hotel here for a
twO-day inventory of Progress
sive effectiveness in the cam
paign, and began mapping de-
tailed plans for extending the
new movement to new COM
munities for future elections.
A legislative program drawn
up by the parley appraised the
Truman victory as IAN oppor-
tunity to fight for and realize
the progressive program for
which they voted"
LEFT alone" the statement
continued, ''the Democratic
Party cannot be relied upon to
put through the progressive
legislation for which the voters
gave their mandate"
Therefore party members
were called upon Gin every
state to organize delegations to
every member of Congress be-
fore they leave for Washington,
paying special attention to
newly elected members, with
the object of laying before them
what the people want done and
to gain as many specific COM
mitments as possible"
High among the targets set up
by Progressives was complete
repeal of the Taft Hartley Act,
as many delegates expressed
fear that thornier features of the
law might be left on the books
before Congress closed them.
Price control without wage
freezes, civil rights, taxation,
agriculture and huge peacetime
arming also got prominent at
tention in the program, which
will be introduced into both
houses of Congress by Sen. Glen
H. Taylor (Dem., Idaho) and
Rep. Vito Marcantonio prog
ALP, N.Y..
? Sitting through the entire two
day discussion of policy and or
ganizing strategy were Taylor
and Marcantonio along with Mr..
Wallace.
In his address, Wallace re-
called that towards the close of
the campaign, the Democrats
promised to examine every
avenue of peace with Russia.
Let's hold them to it. They have
promised civil liberties legisla-
ton. Let's hold them to it.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Trainer
Hirsch Jacobs will return . valuable
member of his racing family
Stymie-to action tomorrow, deter
mined to show again that winter
of rest down on the farm" is the
best prescription for a horse getting
along in years.
The 7-year -old son of Equestrian
Stop Watch tops a list of dozen
respectable runners expected to go
in the $4,000 Excelsior Handicap,
mile and one sixteenth feature at
Jamaica.
For the last several years Jacobs
has shipped Stymie, who races
under the colors of the trainers
wife, Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs, to Vir-
ginia to relax while the snow flies.
Stymie, a golden chestnut in more
ways than one considering his rec
ord $816,060 in earnings, apparently
worked too hard in his younger
days.
In 1943, after Jacobs claimed him
for a mere 1,500, Stymie started %
times as a 2-year-old. He won only
four races and $l5,935. He raced
around New York until winter ar
rived, then hit the trail for Florida
and q strenuous campaign in the
palm tree circuit.
All through 1914 1t was Tropical
Park, Hialeah, Jamaica, Pimlico,
Aqueduct, Belmont, Laurel-where-
ever they were racing in the East
and South. Stymie went poStward
20 times as a 3-year-old, found the
winners circle just three times, and
banked $36 1925.
Then the doctor ordered a rest
and Stymie took 1t easy from Late
November, 1914. until May %, 1915.
That, apparently. did it.
Evening star., 1948-04-16
Stymie, AII-Time Cash Winner
Returns to RACING at Jamaica

In 1945, Stymie became . horse
to be reckoned with. He started
winning races-important ones. He
took the Grey Lag, the Brooklyn,
the Butler, the Saratoga Cup, the
Westchester, the Riggs and the
Pimlico Cup.
In all, he started 10 times and
won nine races that year, and wound
up with $225,375 in the Jacobs till.
The formula seemed perfect.
Stymie stayed home until the
middle of April in 1916, then went
after the greenbacks again, stack
ing up eight victories in 20 starts
and $238,650. He grabbed the Gray
Lag again, the Whitney, the Sara
toga cup in a walkover, the Edge
mere, Manhattan, New York, and
the Gallant Fox Handicaps.
Jacobs shipped him off to the
Virginia farm again after he fin
ished second to Assault in the
Pimlico Special in November. Then
in April, 1947, he was at it again.
First 1t was the Metropolitan,
followed by the QUESTIONABLE, the
Sussex, the Belmont Gold Cup,
the Massachusetts, the Aqueduct,
and the Gallant Fox.
The cash register jingled to the
tune of $299,775. When Stymie
finished sixth in the Scarsdale at
Jamaica November /, Jacobs de-
cided it was time for another Vir-
ginia siesta.
Now the handsome turf warrior
is back, looking better than he
ever did," says Jacobs.
If the trainers prescription fol-
lows the form of recent years,
Stymie won't have too much trouble
collecting the $183,940 necessary to
hit the $1,000, 1000 mark.
