Stymie, Racing Career Ended,
Is Retired to Kentucky Stud
~ fhsA..esia,.d Pros.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Stymie,
the horse that won $sl1,335-more
money than any other horse In
racing history-came to the end Of
the racing trail today.
Stymie will thrill the crowds no
more with his brilliant, ting
ling stretch rushes.
The gallant old Pride of Brook
lyn" suffered q fractured sesamoid
in his right forefoot ia the Mon
mouth Park Handicap Saturday,
and less than "a hours later Trainer
Hirsch Jacobs said the 7-year-old
worlds money-winning champion
would be retired permanently.

the injury. Stymie will be sent to
the Blue Grass country Of Kentucky
for breeding purposes.
An expectant millionaire for the

Old Punch Is Missing.
The crowd, which had backed
him down to 10 cents on the dollar
IN his usual role of favorite, didn't
realize they were watching the
rugged old canpaigner in action for
the last time. AS usual, Stymie
hung back, then began passinp
horses. But he failed to come up
with his characteristic stretch drive.
Jockey Bobby Permane said
something was definitely wrong"
after the race, and Jacobs an
nounced a few minutes later that
Stymie had pulled up lame. Yes
terday X-rays disclosed the bone
injury.
He collected only $500 fourth
money-peanuts for him-putting
his record all-time earnings at
s9l1 1886. This was just $8S, S,665 under
the mark which would have made
him the first millionaire in turf
history. That he would have
reached that golden goal had he
been spared injury this year, almost
was certain. When the year began
his total was s816,O6O, and added
$95,275 in II starts this season.
Jacobs claimed Stymie, the son of
Equestrian-Stop Watch from King
Ranch for $500 at Belmont Park
June 2, 1943. He entered Stymie
IN II claiming races after that, and
was lucky no one took him.
He raced often in 1943 and 1914
for Jacobs, but earned only $42, ,260
IN that time. In the 1945-46-47
campaigns, however, Stymie rose
to the top of the handicap ranks

Never Swim Alone, Never Dive
Unless You Know It's Safe
BY Morinus De Cost
YMcA Physical Director

When going swimming two is
company. three is better COM
pany-and being alone is dan
gerous.
Seek your solitude elsewhere
than in water. With good COM
panions your swimming will be
more fun and much more safe.
Practiced swimmer though you
may be. you might dive against
a rock, be swept away by sud-
den current, or get cramp in
deep water. 1t could be your last
swim If no one was around to
help you.
Be particularly careful about
diving. It's no pleasure to dive
into deceptively shallow water
or to smash against a hidden
rock or to plunge into q strong
undercurrent you didn't know
about.
Also avoid shock. To get used
to cold water, rub 1t over your
legs, stomach, chest and armpits.
That way 1t will not be such a
shock to your body or cause your
heart to make difficult adjust
mentS.
If you've just had a heavy
meal, it's better to wait awhile
before swimming. Being in water
doesn't interfere with digestion,
but excitement and eXertion will
do it no good and will put a

Calculating Strength
of Wooden Beams
By w. E. ~SCHApHORST

THIS SIMPLE CHART will be
found handy by any reader for Sc
lecting safe beams made of the or
binary woods such as shortleaf
pine, white oak, longleaf pine, Doug
las fir, western hemlock, white pine,
and spruce. 1t is based on authen-
tic data adopted by the American
Railway Engineering association for
safe uniformly loaded wooden
beams of rectangular section.
To use the chart simply zigzag
a straightedge across three times,
or stretch a thread across three
times as indicated by the zigzag
dotted line, and the problem is
solved.
For example, it is desired to hold
200 pounds per foot on a wooden
beam of 2 inch by 6 inch western
hemlock over a span of 6 feet. Will
the beam be safe?
Run a straight line from the point
in column A opposite western hem
lock- over to the depth 6 in column
c. The intersection with column B
shows the minimum span to be SIS
feet. The beam will therefore be
safe as regards span.
Then from the depth 6 in column
c run a straight line through the
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-03-15

lock-" The answer is found at the
intersection with column F and is
1000 pounds.
Since it is desired to hold only
6x200 or 1900 pounds on the beam,
and since the beam will actually
hold 1900 pounds, it certainly is
amply safe. In fact, the chart shows
that a beam made of shortleaf pine
or white oak would be safe under
the same load.

Use Of Household Gas

Like many other sources of ener-

in careless hands it is a possible
source of great danger. However,
nearly all accidents with il are

ance Of simple precautions. In fact,
the householder should realize that
gas when carefully and properly

The more important of these are
