H 'FORGED HISELE TOTRAPSELINS Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson Kept in Shape Through Golf or Riding. BY DILLON GRAHAM, Assoctated Press Sports Writer FIRM believer in sports, Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, new head of the American Red Cross, ordered outdoor ac- tivities for three Presidents during his years as White House physician. For Theodore Roosevelt it was horseback riding, for Woodrow Wilson it was golf and for William Howard Taft it was both the bridle path and the links. “Sports kept them in good physical shape and gave them rest by taking their minds off their tasks,” he says. “I've always liked sports. I ride and hunt now.” With dark, merry eyes under furry eyebrows, rugged, broad shoulders and trim physique, Grayson hardly looks his 56 years and sui!! can take a hunter over the jumps with finesse.

He often runs down to his farm on week ends to look over his 25 mares and several stallions My Own Was Star, E BREEDS horses now to sell as yearlings, but he has owned great race horses. My Own won the Saratoga Cup for him in 1923 and Fluvanna, a fine filly, lost by a nose a race that carried a heavy purse My Own was recogr the best racers in the on and was considered ong Wi ev to be America’s entry in the famous race with Papyrus, the English Derby win- ner.

The Jockey Club presented hin a cup as a token of their esteem of him as a sportsman. Another horse, Sarazen, sold as a colt, won some $225.000 for its owners Grayson seldom races his horses now. A sprinter at William and Mary College. Grayson could speed the 100- vard distance in 11 seconds. He likes to hunt duck and quail now, does some fishing and often attends horse races and prize fights with his friend and patient.

Grayson took up golf largely be- recommended it to President needed a he had and the cause Wilson partner. “He used to say I was the victim of my own orders,” Grayson d. I had told him to forget business while he played, but every one he plaved with persisted in talking shop so final- ly he discarded them and I was rung nto service.” Wilson liked golf but primarily as an exercise. Taft was enthusiastic about the game, loved to play in a foursome of jovial companions and enjoyed sit- ting on the tees and telling stories. Grayson recalled the definition of golf used by Wilson: “An ineffectual attempt to put an elusive ball into an obscure hole with implements ill adapted for the purpose.” Horseback riding was Roosevelt's chief sport. “He credited me with giving him the advice that the out- side of a horse is good for the inside of a man.” Grayson laughed. *It wasn't original. But it's still my idea and horseback riding is my most fre- quent _exercise.” o PERFECT fect Job at Nominal Cost; reputation. 1000 NEW AND 625-7 D St. N.W. e POWER APPARATUS e SPECIALISTS We use the finest grade of with the best equipped shop in the South; expert factory trained mechanics.
