The 1 a star boarder at the Lincc "interviews" zoo inmates on assured in advance that "1 character !r� /a StXOITC l 1C There's an old saying around race tracks to the effect that grinners are where you find them, Any system of picking them is a good system -so long as it works. And in all the realm of sport there is no more pathetic spectacle than that of a husband - one who carefully collects all avail- able information and handicaps them scientifically -at the'end of a losing afternoon trying to smile gamely at the little woman who, by means of the ancient method of shutting her eyes and jabbing a pin through the program, has come up with about five nice -priced winners. And we have seen just that very thing happen, more than once. In fact it has happened to us person- ally, more than once. But those days seem to be gone, thank goodness. The ladies no longer go in for hat- pins to any great extent; and no other sort of pin seems to work the same magic, for some reason or none. sk # # The following brief but truthful little anecdote is along the same lines. A large manufacturing plant situated near a great Ontario has - as what establishment of any size hasn't? -its quota of those devoted to improving the breed of Thor- oughbreds by betting on them. Or, more briefly, horse -players, Some of these make their selec- tions by lueans of Past Perform- ance, poring over the pages of The Racing Forni-vulgarly known as The Dope Sheet" -for hours at a stretch. Others take a shorter, but no less certain Highway to the Hockshop, by letting some of us newspaper "experts" do the picking. And one or two are strictly "bunch players." Your hunch players is a peculiar bird. Everything that happens, and a lot of things that don't, has a hidden meaning, if you can only figure it out. For example, if you should happen to dream about eat- ing green apples, and then in next day's entries see a steed named BEI. - STOMACH ACHE, it stands to reason you have a sure and certain warning to bet all you have on its chances. (We alight say, parenthetically, that these hunches sometimes work out. In fact, if we were asked just which would go broke the sooner -the hunch player of the scientific one -our , answer would be that a dead heat alight well be .the result, only the hunch player would have more fun for his money.) # 01 But to get hack to our tale. In the group we were speaking about, one we'll call hint Mike -was strictly a bunch bettor. And when the others; on scanning the entries on a recent morning, saw that a cer- tain horse was carded to carry a i weight of 217 pounds, they, saw a chance for a bit of fun. Obviously it was just a misprint, Horses don't carry such weights -not since the days of Knights in Armor-•- a,nd the correct figure should have been 117. ,,When 'Mike sees this horse car- rying 217, hers bound to want to -know "How Collie'," said one of the jokers. "Let's tell hien that there are just a few horses that have a strain of elephant blood, and the rule, are that 'they have to carry 100 pounds extra. He'll be- lieve pretty nearly anything you tell hilar; nlaybd he'll even go for that." it happened just as expected, Mike saw the unusual poundage, and wanted to know wherefore and why, With straight faeces the Con - 11 ion announcer Jim Hurlbut uncommon -ambition by ion in this case is "Dillinger," In Park Zoo. Hurlbut, who a weekly TV broadcast, was )illinger" is just a lovable at heart. spirators informed him about the unuual breeding, and the extra hundred pounds it entailed. Mike looked at them suspiciously, but none of them even cracked a smile. Finally he walked away. "Surely he wasn't sucker enough to swallow such a tale," remarked one of the group. Then they promptly forgot all about it. They forgot all about it, that is to say, till about 24 hours later when, the next morning, their dupe Mike bore down on them his coun- tenance wreathed in smiles. "Pretty slice," he said, "that one that was to carry the 217 pounds!" "Surely you didn't bet on him?" gasped one of the others. "Sure thing I did," replied Mike. "Of course I didn't pay much atten- tion to all that bushwa of yours about the elephant blood. I was pretty sure you were just kidding me. Still, I thought to myself that when they made that mistake in the weights it is a pretty good hunch -so I bet five straight, five place -pretty near thirty bucks winner -and that's not so hard to take: ' As we started off by saying, this is a strictly true story. We could tell you the name of the manufac- turing plant aforesaid, but refrain -for fear of reprisals on the part of the "smart" horse players who DIDN'T have a bet on that winner. Still, just as a guarantee of good -faith, we can give you SOME of the details. It happened in the last week in March. The paper that misprinted the weight was the emi- nent Toronto Globe & Mail. And the name of the steed was QUACK QUACK. You could look it up if your Sunday School Library hap- pens a -pens to keep a file of racing papers. # m # What is the moral? (For all tales of this nature should undoubtedly carry a moral.) Well -and it's a good one to remember with the racing season about to burst upon us - WINNERS ARE WHERE YOU FIND THEM.
