Most we release, but we do like
to eat a few. The trip to town

bass. No large ones, but large
enough to give us good fight.
The storm brought cold rain
and a lot of wind, and we were
glad to be snug in our tent with
a nice birch fire burning, and
good food to eat. However, the
cold rain, and the cold night
which followed were just right
to make the bass bite. The ther-
Imometer dropped to 49-at least

Bill was using a HI pepper

WOULD MISS FRIENDS IF He QUIT
Longden Seems Shoo-in
To Set AII-Time Record

Despite his success. Longden
has continued to live simply
He has a small and comfortable
home in Arcadia, Calf, not far
from the Santa Anita race track.
He and Mrs. Longden, the for
mer Helen Tarn, daughter Of
trainer AL Tarn. have two chill
dren.
His son, Vance, is a trainer,
and handles the horses for AL
berta Ranches, Inc, a Canadian
concern in which Johnny has a
financial interest. Under racing
rules Johnny cannot ride in a
race against one of his sons
thoroughbreds. but he is Vance's
first choice if the "old man" is
available. He usually is.
Mrs. Longden doesn't have
any unusual problems with her
husbands diet. His normal
weight is 113 pounds, and that's
what he weighs, in season and
out. He eats what he likes and
doesn't have to resort to steam
baths.
Longden's record is as honor
able as it is long. The stewards
have set him down now and
then but only because of his
hard riding and desire to win
Trainer Willie Molter said this
of Longden: "He has lost races
on my horses-that's horse rae
ing. But he's always trying to
win, and he's honest"
Calls Him Worlds Best
T. D. (Pinky) Grimes, who
trained a great Splinter. With
Regards, considers Longden the
worlds best rider"
"A man can trust him.
Grimes said. HE gets the best
of a horse without Furnishing
him. and that's why he is so
successful with young horses and
fillies."
Longden was born in Wake
field, an English coal mining
town, in 1910. The family moved
to Taber, in the Canadian coal
fields. shortly afterward. 1t was
in the coal mines that he
developed his powerful shoulders
His physical makeup is unlike the
average Jockeys. He has short
legs-so short, in fact, that he
developed unique riding style.
He works his arms and legs in
rhythm, and because of that he
has become known as THE
Pumper."
Johnny rode in county fairs in
Montana and Utah before he
began campaigning on Western
tracks. He has ridden in Mexico.
Cuba. England, Ireland and
Australia. has won virtually
every major stakes event in
America, and has been national
riding champion three times.

doubtful if he will retire even If
he makes it.
