SP0RTL1GHT Why Eddie Arcaro Often Loses By GRANTLAND RICE What! No Tips? (Florida has abolished all racing rews and information. News item.) Wasn't it tough enough before? Wasn't It rough enough to score? Was the walk to the cashier's cage too short? Were too many cashing their winning bets? I can slip you this for a quick retort, I found each day when the red sun sets That even with all the infor-mation, All the tips that a sheet could print, That hot per cent cut the daily ration And kept me blocked from an open mint. I wonder what made a some-body sore? I wasn't getting too rich before. The Case of Eddie Arcaro Practically all racing experts, if any, will tell you Eddie Arcaro is the best race rider in the world. Against this many solid horse play-ers, if any, will tell you that they never bet Eddie Arcaro in any race unless it's a big stake. Most of the trainers want Arcaro for stake races. Few horse players want him, race after race. Here is a note from one of them: "Why is it that Eddie Arcaro wins more big stakes than any other rider, and yet loses I iV""1 so often on better l'9 horses in other I "js"- races? I've seen fJS. j Arcaro ride favor-f"- fl ites either last or I 4 out of the money y - m more often than w" 4 any rider 1 ever I V 1 saw. I've seen him I . J run last, four races ta succession each Grantlana R,c time riding the top horse. At Santa Anita he was set down 10 days for careless and indif-ferent riding. They say many of his mounts are false favorites, the odds lowered because Arcaro is riding them. This is strictly the bunk. Arcaro gets his pick of horses more than any other rider. He should lead the jockeys by a big margin. Yet Ted Atkinson outrides him two to one, day after day. So do others. "I've seen Eddie Arcaro in any number of ordinary races get away badly and after that make no effort to get up with the pack. You may ask why so many boo a rider who can win so many stakes. My answer is that the racing public realizes Ar-caro has so much money that he is only interested in bis cut, with no in terest at all in the horse players who may be backing his mount. Or in winning a race for the jockey's nor-mal fee. "Yu might be surprised to know how many horse players I know who refuse to back Arcaro on anything except a big stake. One has to admit this season that Arcaro has a poor percentage for average races, considering the fact that most owners and trainers would rather have him. "Many trainers don't place Ted Atkinson in his class. For all of that, many, many horse players would rather have Atkinson, or Colineri, Guerin or even Cole than the winnner of four Kentucky Der-bies. "Whether he means to or not Arcaro gives you the impression that he is only mildly interested, if that much, in many trials. It is something Arcaro should watch, or look for the booing to grow." The Jockey Angle Veteran jockeys such as Eddie Arcaro and Johnny Longden, two of the wealthiest, two of the oldest, rarely take any chances. A big stake is a little different, but the average race must take care of itself. Neither Arcaro or Longden wants to dive for that slender, hazardous op-ening that an apprentice would im-petuously rush for. The jockey is in a tough game. It is rougher than pro football or any other sport, including hockey. Young riders have to take certain chances. Few vet-erans care for any brand of risk. Especially If they are well fixed financially and can still be nominated to ride in big stakes for the 10 per cent cut. Arcaro, for example, usually has his pick of the major stakes. Last year he had Hill Prince the best horse of 1950. This year he was of-fered Battlefield and Bold. These two are certainly top. There isn't any doubt that on cer-tain days, or in a race he wants bad-ly, Eddie Arcaro is a brilliant rider. He has the skill and hand strength to handle any horse. He is a bril-liant judge of pace. He is smart. But in many average races, there is some doubt whether Eddie rides as much to win as he does for ex-ercise. As fine a jockey as Arcaro shouldn't ride so many bad races, if he was continually going all out as Ted Atkinson and others nearly always do. He rides too many poor or just ordinary races for his own good. h i ' As s t '1 iJ ! I 1 S tT I "I f V t t mM&M9SB-- iBmix ;?i lit HITS BACK ... Dr. William J.

NOT HERE! Iron Curtain Severs Small German Town WASHINGTON, D.C. There are many small communities in the United States that s;t astride state and county lines, but life goes on unhampered because of the fact. People come and go as they please. But the village of Moedlareuth, Germany, split through the middle by the line dividing Germany into east and west zones, is a study in fractured human geography. The average small towner in the United States would find such an existence ridiculous. Through the town of Moedlareuth near the Bavarian textile city of Hof runs a sleepy rural stream, the Tannbach, meaning "Pine Brook." Tiny though it is, it forms at this point the boundary between two worlds. Eighty-nin- e of Moed-lareuth- 's people live on one side, in the American zone; 125 on the other, in the Russian. Heavy wooden barricades block the one crossing of the brook, re-ports Frederick G. Vosburgh, Na-tional Geographic Society editorial staff writer. Back and forth beyond the barricades stroll German Com-munist "People's Police". Communications Stopped "My sister lives over there in the Communist zone, halt an hour's walk away," a weather-reddene- d farmer told Vosburgh. "But the Russians will not grant a pass. I have not talked with her for three years. We can come to the barrier and look at each other, but she is not allowed to speak." Can anyone imagine such a sit-uation in any American village? All of these people, born and raised in one little town, unable to even speak to each other. Parting the village in the middle left the town pump on the Russian side. Those on the other must get their water from the one house that has a pump. The Communists also fell heir to the fire department. "Now," said a villager, "they say that if ever a house burns on this side they won't help us." The village school, too, is on the Soviet side, but only one youngster crosses to absorb its Communist teachings. The rest walk over the hills to the next west zone town. Shoppers have to do likewise, for the village store is behind the Com-munist curtain; also the post office and flour mill. West Provides Electricity Electric current for both halves of the village comes from the west zone side. Now an "international, incident" threatens a crisis. An' electrician went over to repair Communist wires. He had obtained the necessary pass, but "People's Police" found two west zone marks (about fifty cents) in his pockets For this "currency offense" he was jailed for two days. He says that the next time the wires need re-pair he won't be there. One asset still in western hands is Peter, the village bull. Just as in the days when Moedlareuth was a simple undivided village, the farm-ers from across the creek are al-lowed to bring their cows over for breeding. "But now," said a western vil-lager, "they want to take that bull on the other side. They say half of him belongs to them." On this point of diplomacy not yet encountered by the United Nations, the west refuses to yield, pointing out that if Peter goes Communist the iron curtain almost certainly will cut him off from their cows.

AAA hr The Defense The persecution of beneficial hawks has gone on for centuries, and from the files of the Cincinnati ; Conservation Society, which is making an extensive study ef nawks and owls, some of the reas-ons (or this persecution have come forth. English game keepers shot hawks for centuries. These were the true: "bird hawks", similar to our blue-darler- s, the sharp - shinned and. Cooper's hawks. When the colonists came to these shores all birds of prey were considered hawks. The ij Buteos, like the redtail,: hich were called "buzzards" in England, became lumped with the darters. All hawks, to the layman, are "chicken j lawks". Our beneficial hawks have suffered ever since. The soaring hawks, or mouse lawks, are easily hit with a shot-fi- n, and they bear the brunt of the persecution. These are the birds Ju see strung up along fences; a tribute to the farmer's ignoranc ! the good they do.

The town of Burlington received nation-wid- e publicity recently when J. N. Gern-hard- t, 75, onetime rancher and storekeeper, conducted his own funeral. The community of 1300 took in the show, but many of them expressed themselves as un-happy about the publicity. It was no easy matter for Gern-har-to conduct his funeral. The school board would not allow him to use the school auditorium. He had to pack the overflow crowd of more than 1,000 into the local armory. (Burlington has a population of 1,300.) A scheduled singer backed out so he played records. Several ministers turned him down before the Rev. S. H. Mahaffey of Kanor-ad- Kas., agreed to conduct the services, in which he said: "Pray for this brother of ours, that he will somehow draw closer to God in the years left to him and that he will think piously of death and the resurrection." Gernhardt, doubling as corpse, chief mourner and stage manager, served a dinner he cooked himself for the press and others. Then he rode to the services on the front seat of the hearse. He went home the same way. The casket was stored in his basement. The entire service was recorded on tape to be replayed after his death. But the services will not be in Burlington, much to the relief of many of the home townrs. Miffed at the opposition he says he encountered in his planning, Gern-hardt has directed that he be buried at Goodland. "I wouldn't be caught dead here," he declared.
