FAST STEPPERS MEET SATURDAY By FRANK GETTY United Press Staff Correspondent. Latonia Race Truck, Ky., Nov. 1. — Zev, Harry F. Sinclair's crack three year-old, is expected here this afternoon, completing the picture that wll! come to life Saturday when the Ken tucky hills will echo cheers for the winner of the Latonia championship—and somebody's colt will be crowned undisputed champion of the American turf. My Own, close guarded in his stall in barn 41, and In Memoriam, which will carry the hopes and cash of the western turfmen, are on the ground ready for battle. Rialto may come to match his less vaunted speed against that of the champions but interest still centers in the long anticipated meeting between Zev and Admiral Cary T. Grayson's brown colt. The weatherman promises fail skies for the big day, a track that was ankle deep in mud from the rains of early week is drying rapidly to a perfection that' will lend no hand! cap to any of the starters. There seldom has been a calibre of the championship—for which a purse of $50,000 has been added—in which owners, trainers and backers of three horses were as assertative of certain victory. Unless the race ends in one of those triple ties such as was run in England the other day somebody is to be proven guilty of over-confidence. Turning from one little group at the track where Zev is given as the “sure thing,” one can choose between two others, or two hundred others, where the pre- act dope equally favors My Own or in MCmoriam. A crowd expected to number be tween 40,000 and 50,000 will see the race. Bernard Baruch and Admiral Grayson are coming tomorrow night. Muncie and Gary To Play For State Grid Champion?

Muncic, Nov. 1. —The much talked >t' proposed football game between Centra!

Lots of times they wouldn’t jet caught up with tho main circu for weeks." Wobster has traveled through America, Europe, South America, Mexico and Australia. Friday Evening, Nov. 2.

JUST LIKE SOME FOLKS The average ostrich can outrun the best Arab horse, if the bird will continue on a straight-away course, says Nature Magazine of Washington. The fact that wild ostriches like to run in circles invariably leads to capture, as a well trained Arabian horse will follow the shortest course, knowing that ultimately the fleeing ostrich will turn In his (Jjrection. In full flight the adult ostrich often show’s a stride of twenty to twenty-five feet, which affords one explanation of its remarkable speed. — • . School Shoes Built for Duty at Elzev Shoe Store.
