Steve Brooks Likely
To Ride Mr.. trouble
In the Preakness
By Lewis r. Atchison
Ster Stcff fCorgespcndent


BALTIMORE, May II. - Mr..
Trouble, the c. v. Whitney colt
who lived up to his name in the
Kentucky Derby, will get to Pim-
lico for the PreakneSs all right,
despite the railroad strike, and
he may have Jockey Steve Brooks
on his back in the big Maryland
race May 20.
The name Of Brooks, Calumet
contract rider, who was up on
Dooly. the second half of the
Whitney entry in the Derby, fin
iShing 18th, has been prominently
mentioned for Mr.. Trouble since
Doug Dodson's injury at Belmont
Park earlier this week.
Trainer Sylvester Veitch was
critical Of Dodson's tactics in his
first comment after the Derby,
although the rider apparently had
no choice of moves in the crowded
field. There were reports that
Veitch also had criticized Brooks
ride on Dooly, although the horse
apparently had no chance at all
Of winning.
Brooks last year won the Derby
aboard Calumet Farms Ponder,
but was unplaced in the Freak
ness.
Mr.. Trouble was due to be
shipped on the B. & o. Railroad
from Cincinnati today after being
vanned to that point from Louis
Vile. He will be sent to New York
and then vanned to Baltimore for
the Preakness.
Meanwhile, Dodson's physicians
reported he will escape surgery,
barring complications, in recover
ing from his injury at Belmont.
He received two broken ribs which
punctured the pleural cavity but
did not, the doctors said, puncture
the lungs. Dodson also is certain
to miss the Belmont Stakes
June 10.
Arcaro Up on Your Host.
Your Host, soundly beaten IA
vorite in the Derby, will run in
the Withers Mile at Belmont Sat-
urday. but instead of Johnny
Longden the California colt will
have Eddie Arcaro up. Arcaro
rode the second-place Hill Prince
in the Derby.
Max Hirsch, trainer of Middle
ground. the Derby winner, hasn't
decided whether to run the colt
in the Withers or wait until the
Preakness. Hill Prince definitely
will wait for the Maryland race.
Jockey Ted Atkinson will ride
the Maryland-bred Ferd in the
18th Withers and is expected to
pilot the same horse in the Freak
ness. Ferd, surprise winner of the
Swift Stakes at Belmont Monday,
is a supplemental nominee for the
Preakness at a $500 admission
fee, but Marylanders are hoping
!he1l give the Derby contestants
another surprise. Ferd defeated
Middleground April IL when the
King Ranch star was in a streak
of second-place efforts.
Ferd is trained by former Jockey
Andy Schuttinger, whose wife
owns the colt. Andy won the
Preakness 36 years ago when it
was worth a mere 1885. Ferd
almost died at birth, but was
saved by a blood TRANSMISSION. No
body bid on him when he was
offered at the Saratoga sales of
194S. so Mrs. Schuttinger bid him
! in for $1,000.

If Rain Was Snow
We'd Have a Record

Garrett county would have had a
record snowfall this winter except
for a little word, IF" If all the
precipitation had been snow AS it
is up to now the record is in the other
direction. Only is inches of snow
actually fell in January, and up to
last evening, not any in February in
the Oakland area. Today may he the
start Of noticeable snow with two
inches already down.
But the rainfall has been plentiful
enough with 6.31 inches in January
and 3.05 thus far in February, cX-
elusive of Yesterday Had all this
rainfall been snow the total would
have made an amazing ITO inches,
about twice the average
However, as Ralph Weber, veteran
Weathcrman, points out, there never
has been time when all precipi-
tation during winter has been snow
The basis for establishing the
amount of snowfall from rainfall is
based on a proportion generally
agreed upon as one inch of rainfall
will equal ten inches of snow.
The high temperature reading of
the week was 81 degrees, on the 9th,
with the low being 81 degrees, re-
corded on the 18th.

ASSEMBLY GETS
TWO MEASURES
affecting COUNTY
One Would Make Hospital Ac-
ceptance Official-Other Wants
Special School Referendum

Two bills affecting Garrett county
were introduced in the Maryland legis-
laturc last Thursday and Friday.
One concerns the official accept
ance Of the County Hospital, and pro
vides officially a board of governors
to manage and operate TIE hospital
if necessary, and relieves the COM
missioners and board Of governors Of
liability Of negligence in connection
with operation and maintenance.
The other would provide for spec
al election for voters 10 determine
where they desire certain school build
ings to be erected with proceeds from
the $1,5OO,OO0 bond issue and other
monies levied for schools.
The county commissioners by reso-
luton several years ago agreed to ac-
cept conveyance Of the hospital and
to support it, but the bill as intro
duccd by Senator Neil c. Fraley,
would make it binding Similarly it
would make the conveyaneing of the
land for the hospital from the mayor
and town council of Oakland also
binding.
The bill also gives the Board Of
Governors official power to pre-
scribe charges, provide for collection,
employ needed persons, to adopt rules
and regulations, and make proper eX-
penditures.
The bill gives the commissioners
power to levy for operation and
maintenance and to take care of any
deficit by borrowing and meeting such
deficit out Of the next years levy.
Special Election Bill.
The other bill was introduced by
the Garrett County delegation, and
calls for special election Tuesday,
April l. On the ballots there would
be the title of the act and the words
"For Two High School Buildings
Only" and Against Two High
School Buildings Only" so that the
voters could make their decision.
In case of the former, the Com
missioncrs would be ordered to pro-
coed to erect two high school build
ings as presently proposed. If ma
jority of votes cast would be against
two high school buildings only, the
County commissioners would proceed
to make plans for the erection Of
school buildings as originally con-
templated by Chapter SIS of 1917
acts.
The new bill, however, changes the
amounts to read a. follows: At Oak
land, 100000; Grantsvillc, 100000;
Friendsville, $l25o0o; Acct den t,
100000; KitzmiIler, $4,000; Bloom
ington, $4,000; Finzel 100000.
The County commissioners are di-
rected to pay expenses OF the election,
which according to officials would
cost the county $1,000 or more. They
could borrow sufficient to pay said
expenses and to include the same in
the next tax levy.
The bill was given slim chance Of
getting through the assembly.
