enough to know that such success
is attained only on rare occasions.
But they consider the time well
spent if they are able merely to
undermine a soldiers faith in his
own government, its policies, its
leaders and their motives. And if
they can convince him that he
has been caught up in a totally
unnecessary war, fought for the
benefit of some group or individ-

notable Job indeed.

$50,000 Santa Catalina Handicap
Clearly the class horse in the
field of California breds, the Will
liam GoetZ colt carried high
weight of 130 pounds and reeled
off the distance in 1:48H5. The
clocking trimmed two fifths of a
second off the mark set by Double
Jay in July, 1949.
Jockey Eric Guerin, riding in
place of the injured Johnny Gil
bert, held Your Host under re-
straint for the first five eighths,
brought him to the front at the
top of the stretch and beat out
Moonrush by half a length.
Your Host returned 81, 1920
and $3.50. Moonrush, with Eddie
Arcaro up. paid $50 and $3.50,
while Vino Fino, the show horse
returned 1920.
A throng of $500 citizens
watched the sprinter, Mercenary,
set the early pace, then give way
to Moonrush after six furlongs.
But Your Host, lying second in
the turn for home. came, flying
as they made for the wire. He
was faltering at the finish, how
ever.
The victory was worth 2,450
to Your Hosts owner.
Your Host won the race even
though his saddle was nearly
falling off. Johnny Longden,
aboard the fourth f1nisher, On
Trust. yelled to Guerin in the
backstretch to warn him that his
saddle was slipping.
Guerin said afterward that his
only worry was that he would
lose the pad before the race was
over and be disqualified.
