Sun Bahram finished a half
length behind the Greentree
Stable flyer.
Capot, the lilo favorite. and

Wine List, ridden by Jimmy
Stout. took command in the early
running. Sun Bahram and Capot
moved simultaneously on the far
turn, with the favorite hugging
the rail under Teddy Atkinson.
Jockey Carson Kirk. astride the
winner, claimed that Wine List
carried Sun Bahram wide at the
head of the stretch. 1t was ap-
parent that Wine List went wide
to permit Capot a chance to edge
through for his vaunted dash to
the wire. Sun Bahram recovered
quickly and finished in second
place, half length ahead Of Wine

Pal. one of my old pointers, Is
not the least bit gun-shy yet he
hates the sound. of an exploding
firecracker. On most Fourths, Pal
has spent the day upstairs under
my bed.
Don't allow your dog to run at
large on this holiday. Some
youngster might think it fun to
throw a firecracker near the dog;
worse still. the dog might retrieve
the object and have it explode in
his mouth.
The only way your dog can
perspire is through glands in and
around his tongue. When he is
hot or tied or nervous, he pants;
it is his one means of getting rid
Of perspiration.
That is why it is cruel and
dangerous to strap a dogs jaws
so tightly shut with a muzzle that
he cannot pant-it is torture to
him. If you must muzzle your
dog, see to it that the strap is
loose enough for him to get his
mouth far enough open for a
certain amount of painting.
The moment you take him off
the streets or back into his kennel
yard, remove the muzzle and see
that he has plenty of cool, fresh
water to drink. The chances are
he will need and want the muzzle
taken off.
There seems to be a fad for
sprinkling grated raw carrots
through dogs dishes of food. and
some people are also pouring into
such food the juice pressed from
carrots. I noticed an article the
other day saying that this was
something new, but it's essentials
are not new at all. Thousands of
dog men have been mixing bits of
carrots in dog food for years.
Carrots are good for dogs, grated
or as juice. They seem to be just
as beneficial in the form of cut
up morsels. In fact, several kinds
of vegetables, green and otherwise,
mixed with regular rations. are
good for most dogs, especially in
winter. These vegetables. how
ever, do not include potatoes.
I certainly don't recommend
continual probing in a dogs ears,
but from time to time you will
find that they need to be cleaned.
Unless dirt that has accumulated
in the ears causes irritation and

NEW YORK, July 2.-King
Ranch's gallant old ex-champion.
Assault, proved they do come back
today when he scorched down the
Aqueduct stretch in blazing fin
ish to capture the s5s,700 Brook
lyn Handicap.
Cheered mildly as he went to
the post by the crowd OF 27.877,
Assault had the customers yelling
themselves hoarSe as he banged
down the wire after taking COM
mand near the top of the stretch
just inside the quarter pole.
The 6-year-old son of Bold Ven
ture-Igual and a grandson OF the
great Equipoise slammed under
the finish line three-fourths of a
length in front of I. j. Collins
Vulcan's Forge. 1t required a look
at the photo to separate Vulcan's
Forge and Flying Missel, another
King Ranch horse. which got third
money.
Was Horse of Year in '46.
Assault, voted horse of the
year" in 1916 after he copped the
Kentucky Derby. Preakness and

since February 81. 1948, when he
ran fifth in the Widener Handl-
cap.
Barely Loses Tuneup.
He came out of that one lame,
and was retired. This is his sec
ond start since. He barely was
beaten in an overnight tuneup
here June "a when he got weak
ride.
But there wasn't anything
wrong with the "Old Man" this
time. His clocking for the mile
and one-quarter of the Brooklyn
was a fast 2:0245, just three
fifths of second slower than
Stymie's record for the stake
made in 1945.
The crowd jumped on the
powerful King Ranch entry OF
Assault, Flying Missel and But
Why Not and established him as
the 4.to-5 favorite. The payoff
was $500, s2,10, and $210 across
the board.
His Second Win in Brooklyn.
This was Assaults second
Brooklyn. since he did it in l947
in 2:O335 with Eddie Arcaro up.
But Arcaro was on Vulcans Forge
this time, and Dave German rode
Assault.
Assault collected s40,6O0 to
raise his earnings to $668,020,
making him fourth in that de-
partment behind Stymie, Citation
and Armed.
Mrs. Evelyn L. Hopkins Three
Rings went into the lead at the
start, and remained there past
the stands the first time. followed
by Mrs. B. F. Whitaker's Miss
Request and Vulcan's Forge.
After the first half mile as the
field of 10 Strengthened into the
backstretch the three leaders
were in the same position, but
Assault had ranged up to fourth.
Into the last turn, half a mile
from home, Three Rings began to
tire, while Miss Request took over
the lead briefly, as German was
moving up on the outside with
Assault.
Assault moved into the lead a
few strides inside the last quarter
mile as they barged into the home
lane.

Saranac Lakes finny population
is somewhat varied. MainStay are
the smallmouth black bass. always
scrappy and sometimes very hard
to lure. But they are present in
inexhaustible numbers and it is
because of your lack of skill and
know-how If you do not catch
them. The great northern pike
also abound in these waters, along
with yellow perch which grow to
over 2 pounds in weight, lake
whitefish (Which are mighty hard
to catch) and the lake trout. We
should not forget the bluegills
which not only grow to large size
in these waters, but are the most
beautifully colored fish we ever
have seen.
We have two Thompson boats,
powered with outboards, which we
rent from Harry Duso, whose IA
nous Crescent Bay Camp is about
4 miles down the lake. They are
beautiful little craft, easy to ma
neuver and extremely safe and
seaworthy and add much to the
pleasure of our stay. In fact, they
are indispensable when one is in
an island camp.
Most of our fishing is done with
fy-rods and surface peppers, al
though when fishing after dark for
bass we use our casting tackle
with surface lures. Casting tackle
is the thing for the pike, too, as
one never knows what size brute
is going to hit your lure when in
pike territory.
Well give you the low-down on
our success in our next column.

 IN HISTORY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10--lR- The official estimate of this years corn crop was cut 119,0oo,o0O bushels today. That virtually ruled out rigid marketing controls on next years production.
 In it's semi-final report of the year, the Agriculture Department estimated the crop at ,357,618, 900 bushels. This compares with 3.477.- ocO.OOO bushels forecast a month ago.
 The indicated crop is slightly be- low the level which would require the Department to propose market ing quotas on the 1850 crop as a means of preventing a burdensome surplus.
 The corn crop. nevertheless, is the second largest in history and 20 percent above average.
 The Department said the aggre- gate volume of all crop production this year is ls0 percent Of the 1923-32 average. That is second only to last years big volume which was 137 percent of the average.

GOLD PRICE w ILL NOT
 BE CHANGED
Truman Says No tipping While He Is President
 -Rum0rs Persist

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O-tR- President Truman said today there win be no change in the value of gold as long as he is President.
 The President replied with what he described as categorical no when he was asked if anyone in the administration was giving con- sideration to raising the price ot sold as 8 means of reducing the national debt.
 Any such action would have to tske the form of a recommendation to Congress.
 The answer to the question, MT. Truman asserted, is a categorical no. As long as he is President of the United States, he said, the value of gold is fixed. PRICE SET AT S35
 The $35 an ounce US. price for gold has been in effect since Janu- arv, 1885.
 It was set when President Roose- yelt srevalued' the paper dollar by lifting the governments tuying or selling price from s20.67 an ounce which had been in effect for de- icades
 Rumors that the gold price would be lifted again have been persistent | in financial circles and elsewhere outside the government. Shares in gold mining enter prises have moved up several times as the rumors became intense. GOLD MOVES OUT Persistence Of these reports also is believed by government offi- cfals to be a major circumstance in causing gold to start moving from US. to foreign countries recently. The metal had poured into this country for the last Is years with out interruption except in wartime.
 Certain foreign countries, offi- cials surmised, have been buying  gold from this government on the theory that there might be some thing to the rumor despite repeated and emphatic denials by Secretary of the Treasury Snyder.
 ONE POINT OF RUMOR
 One point of the rumors was that the administration, by raising the paper-dollar price of gold, would have gain through increasing the value of the ,500,o00,000 stock of gold it now owns. The US. stock is about three-fifths of the world gold supply.
 The gain" so the rumors went could then ke used for issuing paper dollars to pay part of the S2oo,- 800 ,C30,C00 federal debt.

 WASHINGTON . Harry Truman and Harold Ickes. both men of positive opinions and quick tempers, had a long and friendly talk the other day. There was time when the two almost spit in each others face over the question of making oilman Ed Pauley Undersecretary of the Navy, but the other day all past unpleasantness evaporated as the two discussed New York pol itics and Indian affairs.
 It was because of Ickes' interest in Indians that he was first made Secretary of the Interior IT years ago. He had been recommended merely as Commissioner of Indian Affairs. but at the last minute FDR made him Secretary of the Interior instead.
 One of the things Ickes talked to Truman about was the plight of the Navajos and the veto Of bill just passsd by Congress put ting the Navajos under the state laws of Arizona and New Mexico.

MINE CHIEF
 TURNS DOWN
 PEACE TALK
Fails to Show Up for Con- ference with Ching,
 Also Coal Operators

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-lR-- John L. Lewis failed to show up today for coal peace conference called by the government. Instead. he sent a terse wire saying he would see the Federal mediators on Monday.
 It amounted to sharp slap In the face to Cyrus Ching, Federal med- iation chief. It left him, too, pret- ty much in the position of the par son when the bride-to-be doesn't show up for the wedding.
 Ching was there, fuming. The soft coal operators were there, fuming. But no Lewis.
 In fact, 1t was something of mystery where Lewis was. Aides of the bushy-browed union leader with the flair for the dramatic said they did not know.
 Ching Burned Up
 Ching was plainly burned up.
 First, he fired a telegram to Uni- ted Mine Workers headquarters asking Lewis for "clarification." But he didn't even know whether Lewis would see it.
 Then Ching delivered a report to the White House that Lewis had coolly turned dow ma bid to a ..oxo1 co,,forapra
 Ching called for his car and sped to the White House himself to make the report
 While he was travelling there, President Truman was holding his regular Thursday news conference.
 The Lewis Ching situation had not come to light and the ques- tions to MT. Truman did not deal with 1t.
 No Comment--Truman
 The President was asked what might be the Administrations next move in the coal situation.
 He wouldn't. say about that.
 Nor would the President comment on Lewis order of yesterday send- ing the coal miners back to work for three weeks.
 Instead of a comment, the Presi- dent said of Lewis:
 His picture is there on the front page of the Washington Post. Take look at 1t.
 The Post picture was an AP wire photo of glowering Lewis in Chi cago.
 MT Truman was asked if he thought the steel settlements would have been reached and the coal strike called off at least temper arily--if the t-Hartley Act had not been hanging over the unions.
 The President. who wants the Taft Hartley law repealed, sad he couldn't say. He suggested that the question he put up to manage ment and labor negotiators.
