The day is hot, stifling, like a furnace. But no one minds. For thundering down the finish, a field of magnificent racing horses break through great clouds of dust. Whips flash in the sun- light, cutting the air furiously, The horses, responding, throw the Tast ounce of hardened muncle and steel tendon into the effort. Straining, struggling, flying, they round the turn, and neck and i neck they flash past the stand. And the crowd—why, they're mad. Hats are thrown into the air, men and women shriek and shout and cheer and pound the boards, and strangers strike strangers on the back in a pandemonium of excitement. ij ; ‘This is horse racing, the sport of kings. If the excttement of the crowd {s Intense, what must be the fee! ings of the drivers? Fame and wealth and reputation hang by a hair; in their frenzied effort to force their horses across the line, they work harder, feel more intensely than the animals themselves, { This is the way it must seem to us, anyway. A man at Terre Haute thought #0, too, and he probed Geers for his feelings tn 4 this supreme minute. Kd Geers haa lived through a quarter cen- i tury of thrills. He has raced the fastest horses in the world to vie He | tory. Life, for him, the questioner figured, must be at 128 Fahren- heft all the time, So he asked Eddie Geers about it. And he got an awful jolt from Bddie Geers, who is well called the “Silent Man.” “Oh, I don’t know,” Goers replied. “I don't think much about it. The crowd—why, I never am figuring about them at all,” “But what are your thoughts during the race?” “1 try to get my horse away well,” he explained, thoughtfully gazing out of the window. “I take the pole, if I feel that there ts no other horse in the race that will head me off and make me drive around him. I nurse the speed of my horse. Always save a little for the brush at the finish. If you send him all the way round at his best, you will have a tired horse on your hands at the windup. “You can help your horse along by keeping his head up; 1 never let go my grip to use the whip, The minute you do that, you will find that the horse has got away from you.
