B—9 Garner’s Comeback Turf Drama : Greyhounds Know Fake Rabbits |STRAIGES DANCER AUSTRALIAN GATE |*== Rode From Nowhere to Big. Success on Cavalcade, 9 “The Gentleman.” BY GRANTLAND RICE. OS ANGELES, Calif., January 9.—Mack Garner died just a | little while ago and Cavalcade has been retired to the stud. Thus the last chapter has been writ- ten in the thrilling story of a jockey who rode back from nowhere ocn a great horse. In 1934 Mack Garner was a little old man of the saddle. He had been & winning jockey over a long span of‘ years—but he had lost his grip. He | couldn't get even the good horses | down in front any more. He was | ‘washed up, they said around the race | tracks from Saratoga to Hialeah. ‘Twenty years he'd ridden the hovses— | platers and stake horses, from the | leaky roof tracks to Churchill Downs and Belmont Park. | Racing was in his blood. His great- grandfather and his grandfather had been jockeys in Ireland. His father | was a noted jockey in the dedlei West. Four brothers ahead of him | had been race riders. Now, after 20 years of it, he was through. Trainers | Who might have given him mounts gave them to younger jockeys— jockeys who hadn't lost their grip. Now and then he got a mount, of | course. But only when some other jockey had turned it down. He was through. That's what nearly every- body thought. Mack Gets His Chance. BUT not everybody. Bob Smith didn’t think so. Bob trains for s. Dodge Sloane and in 1934 there wu & handsome 3-year-old in the barns of the Brookmeade Stable, which is the name under which Mrs. Sloane races. The 3-year-old was Cavalcade, by Lancegay out of Hastily, both English. Hastily was in foal ‘when she was brought to this country, and Cavalcade was foaled here, but he is as English as Downing street, and it was Bob Smith who called him, because of his even disposition and his almost elegant manners, “the English gentleman.” Cavalcade had won only one race out of seven as a 2-year-old, but he | had shown promise in all his starts, and Smith was sure he would be great as a 3-year-old. He wanted a jockey for him that knew how to ride, knew all the angles that only a jockey can know who had been on the turf a long while. Most important, wanted a jockev who was gentle and | would do nothing to spoil a gentle Horse. So, much to everybody's surprise, he picked Garner. He didn't think Mack had lost his grip—not permanently, anyway. He thought that the vet- eran had been kicked around a little, | too much and that what he needed | was encouragement and a chance to ride a great horse. He knew that Garner, with his love of horses and | his understanding of racing, would | handle Cavalcade right, follow his orders as closely as he could and, if | the running of the race made it nec- essary for him to switch plans in the | middle of it, he wouldn't bungle. The Right Hunch. 1\ AYBE it was no more than a hunch that Bob had in the be- | ginning. If it was, it was the right hunch. With Garner, in the blue and white Brookmeade silks, on his back, Cavalcade went to glory. | He won the Kentucky Derby, fin- ished second to his stable mate, High Quest, in a neck-and-neck drive in the Preakness, won the American Derby and the Arlington Classic, and was so much the best of the 3-year-olds that | Yyear that there wasn't anything even | close to him. Then he suffered a | cracked hoof and had to be retired from training. It looked to be a simple thing, from which he would recover quickly, but it ‘wasn’'t. The days of his greatness were over—and the shadows were closing | around Garner. Mack’s contract wasn't | renewed after the 1934 campaign. Cavalcade made two starts in 1935, with other riders up, finishing second | once and, on the other occasion, | throwing Jockey Gilbert when he stumbled at the start. Smith wouldn't give up on him. He was sure he could get “The Gen- tleman” back in shape again. He brought him out here to run in the Santa Anita Handicap twice, but Cavalcade never got to the post. Last Summer he started him once, but he finished nowhere and Bob decided that he never would race again. The Last Eighth. NOW he is in stud in Virginia and Garner is in his grave. Racing men argue sometimes about Caval- cade’s place among the truly great horses, some of them believing that he didn't race long enough to be rated in the upper brackets. But Garner went to his grave believing that “The Gentleman” was the best of them all. “You cam argue for years about which was the greatest horse,” he told me once, “but you never get any- where. The only way to get the final answer would be to gather all the great horses and race them, and the | one that won the race would be the greatest. But that, of course, is im- possible. But anybody would have to argue with me for a long while to convince me there ever was a greater horse than Cavalcade. They say that 8 great horse is one that wins his races in the last quarter. Well, Cav- alcade used to win his in the last eighth—so what does that make him?” (Copyright, 1937, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, (nc.) ——e LAW CLOSES ON BOOKS Idle Gamblers Are Chased From Tropical Park Track.

By the Assoctated Press. NEW ORLEANS, January 9— Biography, scratched from the fourth race, made good in the mile and an eighth of the Martin Behrman Memorial Handicap at the Fair Grounds today, when he carried Butsy Hernandez’ New Orleans-owned silks to victory. Setting all the pace, the 6-year-old gelding, lone bearer of Hernandez’ banner when Woodlander was scratched, reached the judges a length in front of E. K. Bryson’s highly re- garded Calumet Dick. A. A. Young's Countess Ann was third in the field of six. Countess Ann forced the pace to the three-quarters pole, where Calumet Dick moved up. Bryson'’s 5-year-oid son of Gallant Fox closed a lot of ground, but could not overhaul the fast-stepping Biography. BOXING DATES ARE SET. meetings of the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A.

Sherwood displayed excellent form, despite the fact the players had been out for practice only a few days. | ASWELL AS BOXER Pilot Tells of Colorful Career of Taylor’'s Foe Here Tomorrow. BY BURTON HAWKINS. OE STRAIGES, another promis- ing preliminary boy, who some- how has not been featured here to date, will obtain a brief measure of glory tomorrow night when he faces probably the stiffest test of his ring career in Bucky T'y- ior, Baltimore welterweight, in "an eight-round feature lcrlp at Turner's Arena. It seems Straiges thus far has lived & somewhat varied life. Eddie Prince, who manages the Camden kid, tucked several sheets of carbon paper into his typewriter recently and compiled Joe's life history, some of which ad- mittedly may be taken with several grains of salt and two aspirin tablets. There it is: “I am dropping you a few lines about Joe Straiges which I hope you will use. He is 19 years old. When a student at Pottsville High School he was a star end on the foot ball team and also was captain of the gym team. He had his heart set on going to college, but his father died while he was in his last term at school, leaving the family without means of support. Naturally it was up to Joe, the oldest son, to do something about it No Mining for Joe. E TURNED to fighting, as he always liked to box with his companions. Besides, he had sworn years before that he would never work in the coal mines after his uncle died entombed in a mine accident. “So when Joe had to earn a living he decided to go to Camden, N. J, where his aunt lives, and try for fame and fortune in the squared circle. When he left home he was consid- ered the black sheep of the family, but later vindicated himself by send- ing most of his earnings home for the support of Ris widowed mother and younger brothers and sisters. He now is the hero of the coal regions nd the idol of all the kids back home. “When he went home for a holiday vacation, the Pottsvije High School Band and several hundred students | met him at the station and gave him | a hearty welcome as he alighted from | the train. His vacation at home was partly work, as he spent most of his time tramping through the woods and chopping trees. As a result his punch- ing muscles are in the best shape of }hxs short but sensational career. | Wins Praise From Ross. “SEVERAL weeks ago he made his New York debut at the Hippo- drome by trouncing Lou Diaz, the sen- sational Puerto Rican who was heralded as another Kid Chocolate. Prior to that battle he helped train defense against Izzy Jannazzo. Ross was so impressed with Straiges’ lbilny that he predicted a brilliant future | for Joe. “Old-time fans who saw Straiges | | trounce Diaz stated he is the best prospect to show in New York since | Benny Leonard was making his climb to pugilistic fame. “Straiges is undefeated in 42 pro fights and never boxed as an amateur. Outstanding among his victims are Pete Galiano, Tootsie Bahhara, Stumpy Jacobs, Tony Strazzeri, Jimmy Wade, Diaz and Joey Raymond. “Joe is a dancing instructor in his spare time at Camden’s leading danc- ing school. Many of his close ob- | servers think he has developed his | | speed and gracefulness while earning | side money. He is a great attraction for the feminine fans when he boxes. “However, Joey is a clean-living youngster and will be in tip-top con- dition for the Bucky Taylor bout. He cannot afford to lose this bout, for he has been promised a lucrative uary 21, “Yours very truly, “EDDIE PRINCE.” Silas Back for Bout.

By the Assoclated Press. IALEAH, Fla,, January 9.—The horses start racing at Hialeah Park Wednesday, the 2-year- olds from a new type of gate, which may revolutionize starting in this country. Known as the Australia barrier, it permits the horses to walk up to the line and get & moving start, instead of the former flat-footed start blamed by many for muscular strains. The young horses, and jockeys, too, have been schooled in the new barrier for weeks. It will be used throughout the Hialeah season and for the second meeting at Tropical Park, after Hia- leah closes, March 6. Jockeys Closely Instructed. THE Jjockeys have needed nearly as much instruction as the horses. “They can't just mount in the pad- dock and parade to the post and re- main there until the start,” said Stew= art Marshall Cassidy. “There will be no partitions to guide them into a gate, where the assistants can continue to help with the horses umtil a start is made, “The jockey must take full charge of his mount. He must line up prop- erly with the fleld and walk his mount up for an even start. He must prevent crowding other horses. He is taught the importance of keeping his hands down on a horse’s withers to instill a necessary confidence. Use Improved Camera. FROM a horseman’s standpoint, the horse s brought up in a proper way during the period of muscular development without being subjected to the tremendous strain of a stand- ing start.” The barrier, widely used abroad, consists of six strands of heavy rope, | which spring forward and upward for | the start. In some countries as many s 43 horses are sent away from it at one time. | Other innovations at Hialeah include an improved finish camera. The | Judges and stewards’ stands have been | removed from the infield and instailed | atop the grandstand, with an elevator to reach them. New boxes have been built on the | roof of the club house, but they were all reserved some time ago. The closing day, March 6, will be the biggest of the meeting, 'with the $50,000 added Widener Stake for 3- year-olds and upward, and the Juve- nile champmmmp. Alamo Downs Entries for Tomorrow.

AGAIN, a miss that was figured highly against Kindred Spirit, Light Heeled and others in her last start, bolted while parading to the post and ran off seven-eighths of a mile at her best speed. JOHNNY CAKE figures to beat GLADESS for the place. SECOND RACE—SPOTLESS, MY GOODNESS, GREAT SHAKES. The way the weights are ar- ranged in the second number there are several steeds that have splen- did chances. We are stringing along with SPOTLESS, a daughter of Ed Crump, that gets in with only 98 pounds. MY GOODNESS fig- ures to lick GREAT SHAKES. THIRD RACE — MALMAISON, BUSHMASTER, BLUEBEARD. MALMAISON, gelding that dis- played some fancy races during the New York season, has raced only once at Tropjcal and that was strictly for conditioning purposes. BUSHMASTER figures over BLUE- BEARD for the place. FOURTH RACE — PAULDRON, AMHURST, LINA'S SON. PAULDRON, an easy winner in her Southern bow on December 22, ‘was established as a heavy choice to lick a high-class field of steeds in her last outing, but was caught in a pocket and never had a chance to show her best form. AMHURST figures to lick LINA'S SON. FIFTH RACE—BILL DONOGHUE, CHANCING, WOOF. BILL DONOGHUE, one of the most improved steeds in training, looks like a standout in the fifth, although he is forced to pick up nine pounds more than he carried when he beat Lady Higloss, CHANCING and others last Wednesday. CHANCING would prefer a longer route, but may get up in time to beat WOOF. BIXTH RACE—IPSO FACTO, SAY WHEN, JUB JUB. IPSO FACTO, a filly that has shown some clever races at Trop- ical Park, turned up with a poor performance when Noel H, Monan Lad Say When and Jub Jub licked her the other day. SAY ‘WHEN figures over JUB JUB. SEVENTH RACE — STRATEGIST 2D, COULEE DAM, NIGHT RAVEN. If a recent mile trial in 1:413/5 means anything, Hirsch Jacobs has STRATEGIST 2D in fine trim for the seventh number. He is easily the best bet of the day. COULEE DAM figures to beat NIGHT RA- VEN. EIGHTH RACE—MINE BOY, BE BIG, LADY HOCKBERGER. MINE BOY, a 5-year-old that re- cently arrived from the Fair Grounds, has been coming along in fine style in his morning trials.

(#).—Racing grey- hounds chase a mechanical rabbit around the track, but they know as well as the fellow betting on them that the electrically driven cottontail is & fake. They know because they have de- veloped their swift-moving legs rune ning after live bunnies. ‘The love of stretching their lean, long-tailed bodies after any quarry is what impels them to chase dummy rabbits, says Art Wilson, one of the leading kennel owners and trainers, here for the Florida season after a successful canipaign in Massachusetts. Stamina, determination to win and speed count for a lot, but schooling in the fields for racing on the closed course is important. Before their first race—usually at about the age of 18 months—most hounds are turned out af._r live rabe | bits and entered in cross-country coursing events. Older Dog Is Teacher. SUALLY, under guidance of an older dog, they are introduced then to the electrically operated rabbit running around the track on a metal rail. It the young dog shows zest in pure suit of the dummy, he is practiced on starting from the box and later raced; if he doesn't, he may never be raced, or he may be schooled some more in the fleld. Sometimes the best courses are the poorest performers on tracks. Good time for a dog running the five-sixteenths of a mile track is 31 seconds, depending to a large extent on the size and shape of the track and whether the rabbit is placed on the inside or outside rail. They're much swifter in straightway cross- country coursing. Ordinarily, a dog's racing life continues through his fourth year. Valuations range from | $50 to $3,000, but a good racer can be bought for $500. “There aren't any such things as authentic world track records for dogs,” says Wilson. “There can'd be when no two tracks are built alike. Of course, there can be individual track records.” Watch Vitamins. 'HE racing diet? One meal & day, usually barley, meat, spinach and | piscuit. “Those vitamins the doctors talk | about count just as much with dogs as they do with human beings,” Wil= son says. “Two fast dogs won't necessarily litter of good racers. You've got to study their blood lines back for generations to see if their | different qualities will blend successe fully. “All the training in the world won't help a dog win races if he isn’t bred right. If his breeding is good he will haye stamina and a determina= tion to win. These are more ime | portant than speed.” Some 1500 dogs are kenneled for at four tracks hereabouts. F. A.
