Biggest Sports Attraction In
History of State Set
For Saturday
S15O,OOO HANDICAP

The biggest sports attraction in
the history of Delaware will be
in the offing come Saturday. 1t is
the S15O,000 Delaware Handicap,
worlds richest race for FLIES and
mares and the climactic event in
Delaware Parks unmatched Dis
taft Big Three-a series of stakes
for female horses representing a
quarter-million dollar jackpot in
estimated gross value.
The Big Three sequence, offered
on the final three Saturdays OF
the Stanton tracks meeting which
ends on Monday, July 4, began
with the Delaware Oaks for g.
year-old fillies. Then came the
new" New Castle which, like the
Delaware, presented a big shot for
both sophomores and older lady
horses. Now comes the newly
named Delaware, a mile and a
quarter classic which this year
has succeeded the "old" New Cas-
tie as the only hundred-grander
anywhere for distaff stars.
Virtually every topnotcher in
training is expected to go after
the "big one" Saturday-cham-
pions of present and past, and
near-champions. While a big field
seems probable, it is fortunate
that the Stanton oval is well pre-
pared to handle a large group. 1t
is the only one-mile track in the
country with a width of 100 feet
on both the front and back
stretch. Last year, when the event
was still the New Castle Handi-
cap (it is now a mile and a six
teenth allowance stake and major
prep for the longer and richer

field of 20 started 1t wouldn't be
surprising to see that many or
even moSe go postward on the
weekend.
AS this was written, it appear
ed that the Delaware Handicap
lineup would come from among
such as: Gainsboro Girl, High
Voltage, Open Sesame, Parlo, Blue
Violin, Hen Party, Smart Devil,
Another World, Clear Dawn, Rose

She nodded gravely, as if what he had

And this, too, added to his extraordinary
sense Of exhilaration and happiness.
He moved away from her, but at the

see her again, to fix her face indelibly in

of the patient, indeed. Suppose in every
case Of major surgery the doctor had to
give the patient complete blueprint Of
cause and effect, of possibility and prob
ability, of why and wherefore. The results
would be chaotic!
The doctor had the facts, the knowledge,
and consequently the responsibility. He
had to be the sole judge, often, of what was
the best thing to do.
A sudden impulse came to him to follow
this nurse, explain these things. wiring from
her an admission that they were so. Make
her understand, at least, that the decision
to operate had not been his. Convince her
that it had been an assignment that could
not be shirked or avoided, and in convinc-
ing her Danish the last Of his own foolish
misgivings and doubts.
HE PICKED up his check, walked rapidly
to the cashiers cage, paid it, went out into
the corridor. As he rode up in the elevator,
he noticed that his heart had begun to
pound with heavy, uneven rhythm. He
knew the reason we'll enough adrenalin,
pouring unbidden into his bloodstream.
And he knew the emotion that most often
triggered such reaction: it was fear.
Whaf's The matter with you he said angrily
to himself. You're just doing your jOb. You
have nothing TO be afraid off,.
He pushed through the swinging doors
that led to Ward II. The nurses alcove
was empty. Miss Andrews, he knew, could
be in any one of dozen places, but the
thought came to him instantly that she
might be with Old Man Harris in the little
room just off the ward where patients we're
placed the night before surgery. He walked
quickly toward it, opened the door, went in.
Miss Andrews was not there, but Old
Man Harris was. He lay quietly in the tall
bed, big-knuckled hands resting on the
white sheets, waiting. He was quite alone.
Invisible but all around him, much more
noticeable in this narrow room than it had
been in the open ward, was the sickly, un-
mistakable odor of dissolution, of decay.
Hi, there, Doc," he said. Recognition
fiickered in his eyes. They tell me you're
the ones going to fix me up in the morn
ing" He nodded slowly, as if quite con-
tent. ~ sure am glad, the old voice said.
Jim Marlowe closed the door and set his
shoulders against it, hearing the inner voice
that he had tried to silence speak plainly
now. She's right, said this inner voice,
haf's exactly what's missing - the consent
of the patient. Sure, the old man signed the
release. Because he believes hhaf the opera
tion is essential. Because he thinks that il
will help him, may even cure him. Because
he has faith.
The doctor felt the irregular pounding of
his heart begin again, and this time he
knew why he was afraid. If he told Old
Man Harris the truth, the consequences to
his own career might be most unfortunate.
Old Pollard did not like to have his
decisions questioned. If permission for the
operation were suddenly withdrawn, the
reason would assuredly become known,
and then.

He talked for five minutes, steadily, blot

sleeve. He tried to be Scrupulously fair He
pointed out that there might we'll be some
benefit, however slight and temporary, from
surgery. But he made no effort to conceal
his opinion that in the end the surgeon
would gain more from the operation than
the patient.
Old Man Harris lay there. watching him,
not saying a word. Even when Marlowe
stopped talking, he said nothing for per-
haps thirty seconds. Then, Why'd you
tell me all this, Doc?"
Someone, Jim Marlowe said, some
one made me see that you had right to
know. You can still call off the whole deal,
if you want to. But no one else can."

''All my life," said Old Man Harris, ''all

OUTSIDE, in the dim corridor, Jim Mar
lowe stood quietly for moment, letting
the tension drain out Of him, feeling it
replaced by tremendous surge Of conf
dence, an amazing sense of lightneSs and
welI-being. He walked quickly toward the
swinging doors. Then he stopped.
