Issue and Cards Seem Stacked Against
the Grayson Colt

New York. Oct. :??With r I the poise and sang froid of
thoroughbred Knglish gentlema.i that lie is. Papyrus, blue blood
of the Kritish turf, waited pati- ntly at Belmont Park today for
the committee of the Jockey Clu > to name the American "cousin"'
who is to match speed and stamina with him at a mile and a half
on Saturday, October 2'i. ^
Although jockey club officials
stoutly maintain that no selec
tion has been made and that
none will be made until Satur
day, October 6, every trainer
and racing man within sound of
the hoof beats on the metropol
?* itan tracks knows that Zev will
be the colt named to uphold the
Stars and Stripes against the
invading union jack.
This does not mean that these
trainers and and followers of the
turf believe that Zev Is the better!
hor-e for the race Many ot them
think that on hlB present day condi- <
tion. Admiral Cary T. Grayson's
My Owu could show a pair of clean
?heehr ttr-Harry SnTCTtflr's champion."I
There never would be a horse race if I
opinion was all one way. It Is just
in the cards that Zev is to be chosen. |
Everybody knows Zev's trainer is
carefully pointing him for the race. !
It will be woe unto the Jockey :
Club, however, if Zev races and loses
to Papyrus. Then there will be a
terrible hullabaloo. The partisans i
of My Own will say that a great mis- '
take was made and that the Grayson
colt could have taken the English
derby winner without the shadow of
a doubt.
Of course, turf followers here In
New York state have learned to en
dow the Jockey Club with all worldly
wisdom. No king ever wielded more
autocratic power over his subjects
than August Belmont, chairman of
the Jockey Club wields over the rac
ing folk in this vicinity. These folk
have been taught in the past that the
king can do no wrong. And so they j
are awaiting, without criticism, the
decision that they know will go to
Zev.
The fact that all Washington is
stirred up over the prospective elim
ination of My Own is creating not a
ripple on the surface of East 40th
street where the Jockey Clu-b main
tains its headquarters, BrlgafHer Gen- ?
eral William Mitchell, of the air per-:
vice, representing the sentiment in
army and naval services, had the te
merity to write to the chairman of
the Jockey Club. In reply the chair
man has sent a letter Intended to
put General Mitchell In his place '
In effect Mr. Belmont has told the
general thnt If he wrote as a private
citizen, demanding that My Own .be
given proper consideration, the mat
ter is none of his business. If he
wrote officially In his capacity as a
general of the air service Mr.
Belmont says: "the coitimltta .-will
give Its answer the more careful con
sideration an officially authorized
communication demands."
Naturally the Jockey Club knows
that General Mitchell did not write
"officially," for neither the army nor
the navy is involved In the Interna
tional match race, although if the
contcst gets much hotter the army
may have to be called out to quell a
new civil war.
Since the beginning of man there
never was anything that could stir
lip so-much trouble and so much dif
ferent of opinion aa a "hoaa race."
The forthcoming contest between
Papyrus, the English champion and
the American selection. Is no excep
tion. This international race lias more
angles for discussion, however, in
view of the contest as to which is
the better American horse, Zev or
My Own. Turf followers every-1
where regard it as a great pity that;
Zev and My Own could not have
been matched to fight it out for the
premier American position. They
STRETCHING T1IE FAMILY

Even when there is no attempt to
**Keep up with the Jonei'*," the high
?ost of living necessitates considerable
tnnnoeuvering in the management of
Xhe average household so as to stretch
the family inrome to meet all do*

what of the perplexities which the
family mu?t face if deprived of hia
?upport? There is only one answer:
Adequate life insurance, preferably

Sanatorium. Oct. 4.?Deaths from
tuberiulosis among the negroes in
New York City are on the increase,
judgtng from the mortality statistics,
of that city recently issued. In 1921
the negro death rate from rubercul >
sis was 299 per 100.000 and in 19L'2

t'other fine thoroughbred were, awa*.
?tr-tr? accepted today that all
chance of bringing the two American
together was gone. Zev will race
My Own at a mile and an eighth but
not at a longer distance. My Own
will race Zev at a mile and a half,
but not at a shorter distance. So,
in the language of Colonel Matt
Winn, dean of the Kentucky turf
"that is all thrashed out."
The partisans of My Own say that
the Jockey Club is committed to the
Grayson colt because It arranged re
cently a national trial sweepstake* to
select a horse to meet Papyrus.
Zev declined to enter the sweep- j
stakes. My Own entered and beat j
the same horses that Zev previously i
had beaten. The international race
is to be at a mile and a half, so Ad
miral Grayson argues any trial for
the event should be at that distance.
The Jockey Club does not agree with
him on that score. Mr. Delmont
himself says that it would be folly
for the trainer of Zev to agree to
such a contest two weeks in advance
of the high race. So that, also, is
thrashed out. It was this state
ment by Mr. Delmont -which con- \
vinced everyone that Zev wns to bel
chQsen. for the Papyrus match.
Roth Zev and My Own have shown '
that they have both speed and endur
ance. The Admiral thinks that
My Own is better at the distance. A
shorter distance might find them in
a dead heat judged by their past per
formances. Zev has gone th?> mile
in 1.37 twice and once in 1.37 2-5.
My Own has stepped the mile In
1.36 1-5; 1.37 3-5 and 1.37 4-5. An
eyelash might easily separate the
two in a mile race.
it was 331. In North Carolina It
was 1S6 in 1921 and 154 in 1922.
The deathrate from tuberculosis for
white people in New Yock in 1922
was 9 2 and in North Carolina for the
same period it was 90.
i North Carolina is evidently a safer
place than New York for both white
and colored people as far as the dan
gers from tuberculosis go. and a more
heartening thing is the fact that the
State is growing safer each year. In
four years the negro deathrate from
tuberculosis has decreased from
233.1 in 1918 to 154.2 in 1922. In
eight years the State's deathrate
from tuberculosis has been cut in
half and more. In 1913 there were
4S00 deaths from tuberculosis. In
192 2 there were 2369.
A New York writer finds it diffi
cult to explain the unusual increase
of deaths among negroes from tuber
culosis alone in one year. He hardly
thinks it can he due altogether to the
increase in negro population which
has been 7 percent anuually or 60,
75S in the period from. 1910 to 1920.
This rate does not include, however,
the accelerated movement of negroes
from the South to the North In the
past two years. He is of the opinion
that the negro coming from the warm
and open air of the South to a colder
climate, to more congested living
conditions In a large city, finds him
self exposed to the damages of tuber
culosis ?o a greater extent than his
' more aerlimat?-d neighbors. The
writer admits that the situation of a
iui tu-r ut'Kro population with an in-1
cteu>ing death rate from tuberculo
sis is a problem requiring special ft- i
fort even for the common good of its I
citizens.
