Native in Virginia
BY GRETCHEN SMITH

ny GREICl
EORTY MILES from Wash
l. ington. on a quiet farm
at Middleburg, Va, stymie,
the worlds greatest money
winning thoroughbred, Is en-
joying a winter of hard-won
rest. After a season of track
triumphs the aristocrat of
horsedom. who has earned
more than $4,000 for his
owner, Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs,
wife of Trainer Hirsch Jacobs,
Of Brooklyn. N. Y, is "going
native"
In a paddock leading from
his stall at Ridge View Farm,
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jack Skinner, with whom he
winters. Stymie Is allowed to
run, kick and wallow In the
dirt to his hearts content.
No curry comb or brush
touches his thick winter coat.
No shoes burden the famous
hoofs which thousands of
spectators for the last four
years have watched racing
VIGOROUSLY over the tracks
of Maryland, New Jersey and
New York. No saddle or bride
adds its irritating touch of
civilization to the simple,
down to earth life which
Stymie Is leading.
But Stymie enjoys visitors,
with their words of praise. He
cavorts for them in his pad
dock, just as he does when
led before a grandstand on
the largest race course In the
East.
I visited Stymie the other
day, stopping in admiration
as I approached the paddock.
The 7-year-old horse was
at one end of the field, listen
ing intently to the sound of
hammering coming from a
building in another field. His
beautiful neck was arched
proudly, a characteristic of
the thoroughbred noticeable
even in the heat of the hard
est race. I called: Hi,
Stymie, Of boy, come on over"
He disdained my greeting,
but perked up at the voice Of
my companion, a friend who
has known him since he first
wintered In Middleburg three
years ago. He came majestic
ally across the paddock,
thrusting his head far over
the rails.
Though my friend had
warned me that Stymie is "a
playful shipper" I leaned for
ward to stroke the chestnut
nose. Look out" my friend
exclaimed. Hes going to
snip!"
Sure enough, Stymie made
a dart at me. Frankly I think
he was just showing of his
teeth, which are superb. Any
way, he did not appear dis
appointed when he missed
me. He remained at the rail,
watching my friend and me

The International Gold Cup
champions commodious box
stall, overlooking his private
paddock, has two windows,
one Of which provides an
excellent view of the dis
tant mountains. A generous
sprinkling Of salt is kept on
one Of the window sills to
flavor Stymie's three daily
meals.
For breakfast, at Z am,
and also for lunch. at 1880.
Stymie has a half-gallon of
mixed oats and bran. Dinner,
served shortly before sun
down, consists of q gallon of
the mixed grains, with some
of his favorite Virginia yel-
low corn added. He always
has plenty Of lespedeza hay.
Evening star., 1948-01-18

the long yellow corn that Is
grown there, and he loves the
soil in his paddock.
There Is q particular spot
in the paddock which he has
favored ever since he has
"boarded" with the SINNERS.
He hoofs the spot, nibbles at
it and sometimes rolls on it,
coming up covered with dirt
but with a devil-may-care
look In his eyes.
Confidentially, I believe
Stymie absorbs some hormone
or vitamin from the soil
which gives him that terrific
drive and stamina on the race
course.
As my friend and I dis
cussed the spot, and Stymie's
coat, personality and general
beauty. the thoroughbred re-
manned at the paddock fence,
his head over the rails, ap-
parently drinking in every
word. Finally I turned to him
and inquired: "Stymie, do you
like to race?"
Believe it or not, he nodded
vigorously. And that, coupled
with the evidence that he had
followed the earlier CONVEX
sation about his shoes, con-
vinced me that he Is q cham
pion because he has more
than just common horse
sense.
A third time the horse
displayed understanding of
conversation.
You're beautiful, Stymie,"
I remarked, "and you know
1t, don't you?"
Modestly, but emphatically,
he shook his head as il to
say: "Yes, I know it-but, of
course, won't admit it,"
Stymie's surroundings have
been planned to produce
health and contentment.
Evening star., 1948-01-18

and his stall, flooded with
sunlight, has a fresh bed of
straw shaken down each
day.
"stymie loves to play" his
groom, Ed Wanzer, declared.
And he loves to tease, too.
I'll show you what I mean"
He snapped a lead line onto
Stymie's halter. The part of
the line closest to Stymle's
muzzle Is Of chain, instead of
leather, and it was soon evi-
dent why this is so. The thor
oughbred took the chain be-
tween his teeth and gripped
1t with an expression which
said plainly: Nov what will
you do? I'm not going to
let co."
ZONE on, Stymie," Ed
teased. Let CO."
The horse merely clamped
his teeth more tightly onto
the chain.
About this time Mrs. Skim
ner Joined the group.
Hes a lovely horse" she
observed. II think that after
he's passed the million dollar
mark In his winnings he
ought to be retired"
Retired? As suddenly as
Stymie had grabbed at the
lead line he released 1t. He
seemed to laugh as the groom
detached 1t.
Then he wheeled, kicked
up his heels and, with neck
arched magnificently. circled
proudly around the paddock
as If to say:
T'n never retire"

30-Year Prisoner Studies
Law, Beats Murder Chafqe
BY the kssocioted Press

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 17.-Richard
Monahan, At. who has been In
prison most Of his life since plead
ing guilty to murder in 1918, was
free of that charge today.
Issuing legal knowledge he gained
in the prison library, Monahan OBJ
tanned a hearing before the Missouri
Supreme Court last month. He ar
gued he had not been offered legal
counsel in the first trial.
The Supreme Court ordered a re-
trial and charges were dismissed
yesterday when the prosecutors Of
flee said it was impossible to obtain
evidence in the old case.
Monahan will be returned to the
Missouri prison where he is serving
a life sentence under the Habitual
Criminal Act. He says he plans to
file a writ Of habeas corpus on the
ground that dismissal of the murder
charge makes the Habitual Crimi-
nal Act inapplicable.
