| cres— e THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1929. BLAZING % | SPORIS T By ALAN J. GOULD 4 (Associated Pres sSports Editor) Toe old debate over how Papyrus was shod for his historic $100,000 race with Zev at Belmont Park in 1923 is not over yet, it seems. This col n’s reference to the English derby winner being handicapped by smooth plates has brought a rebuttal in which the famous breeder, John E. Madden, sheds new light on the subject in defense of Papyrus and the colt’s trainer, Basil Jarvis. Mr. Madden, who has two of the plates Papyrus wore as momentoes of the famous match race, asserts that the oft-repeated statement that the English horse was smooth-shod, “is entirely wrong and a gross injustice” to Jarvis. I “As a matter of cold fact,” he says, “the plates Papyrus wore were designed for heavy going and moreover there were eight rough nails in cach shoe, the heads of which were not rasped off, thus giving Papy- rus an excellent foothold in the going, equally as good as the one fur- nished Zev. “I have in m possession two of the plates, front and hind, worn by Papyrus and the same number worn by Zev. I am thus qualified to compare the plates of each horse and the methods of preparing them | to run in the mud. “As the breeder of Zev, I do not want the impression to prevail that he had a marked advantage in the manner in which he was shod. He won on his merits.” | | The publication Racing Form, to which Mr. Madden's statement was addressed, with photographs, sees no reason to doubt this evidence, but the memory of how Papyrus, however, shod, slipped and skidded in the fetlock-deep mud of Belmont Park that day more than five years ago lingers rather vividly. | Murmurs and exclamations arose spontaneously as the English colt appeared to “spread” with each lunge, unable to gain a firm hold in the sloppy going. Zev, on the other hand, always a good mud runner, thrived on the sticky track. However, it was not guesswork that prompted the statements as to how Papyrus was shod. Shortly after the race, turf writers were told by an official representative of the Jockey club that the British colt’s plates were smooth and unfitted to the track conditions. Said the New York Times in its story of the race: Papyrus wore | smooth plates, and according to racing men the failure of Basil Jarvis, trainer of the English horse, to equip Papyrus with toe clip plates placed the foreign horse at a disadvantage. It is the belief of American | racing men that had Papyrus been properly shod he would have run a| | much better race.” So there was ample ground for the belief that has been accepted since then, even though the weight of evidence is now on the oppo- | site side through the belated efforts of Breeder Madden. ‘ C—ulm Lacks Material For Initial Net Tilt STANDING OF CLUBS Pacific Coast League i HAVANA, May 3—Consternation in the ranks of Cuban tennis offi- cials,” sports—-writers- and players ‘Mission “2’;“ 1'1‘1’5" Pscs"if marks approach of this month’s Eon'An ;les 19 17 -528 Davis cup eliminations between the Oaklan: dg 4 19 18 '51 4!

Work neid Up Three measures held up the Legislature last night. In order of importance they were: The general appropriations bill, the House measure creating the auditor’s of- fice and electing the auditor, and the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines appropriation. In all 36 amendments were made by the Senate majority to the first of these bills. The major change (was in the appropriation for roads and trails which was boosted from $300,000 to $400,000. The Senate also took a sideswipe at the Gover- nor by striking out every provis- ion made by the House for his of- fice. These included compensation [to the Governor's Secretary, and funds for the payment of one clerk and a stenographer, and-$2,000 for publicity purposes.
