the horses and when Sande urged her
to come east to see him ride she al
ways said no.
Last summer Earl- was seriously
Injured in a fall at Saratoga and Mrs.
Sande was tempted to remark, "Well,
I just knew . It would happen some
day."
A week or so ago Earl rode Sarazen
to victory at Havre de Grace. It was
his first public appearance In the
saddle since the accident.
Mrs. Sande grinned a bit and when
her Bon aaln urged her to make a
trip east from her prosent home in
Salem, Ore., to see how he did it, she
accepted, although she was sure she
wouldn't liko horse racing.

daughtcr-ln-law in the stands at the
Jamaica track. Fifteen thousand
persons had turned out for It was the
opening day of the metropolitan sea

The horse was pocketed and finish
ed far back. But that didn't bother
Mrs. Sande. She was glad "Our
Buddy" didn't stub his toe.
Earl was called into the stewards'
box and awarded a huge silver loving
cup. the gift of his friends. Mrs.
Sande was pleased but still she was
far' from sure about" this racing busi
ness. Then they called the Paumonok

riding Worthmorc-
The crowd roared as the field got
away and Mrs. Sande lost sight of
Earl until the horses swung into the

"Come on, Sande! Coma on Sande!"
the throng urged. She Jumped to her
feet. Jiggling and shouting too.
Worthmore won. A nose victory.
Mrs. Sande sank back In her chair.
"Wasn't it wonderful," she trem
blingly whispered to her daughter-in-law.
And isn't Worthmoro a wonder
