With much more savoir-faire than many a movie star, a little five-year-old stepped off a Pullman car at Belmont Park, N. Y. one day last week and patiently posed for dozens of cameramen who had come to greet him. The young visitor had just traveled 3,000 miles from San Francisco to keep an engagement with his uncle. The visitor's name was Seabiscuit, No. 1 money-winner of 1937, and he had come to run a $100,000 race, winner-take-all, with equally famed, four-year-old War Admiral, on Memorial...
Except that he played no cards, Seabiscuit spent his three-and-a-half-day journey last week in pretty much the same way as the other passengers on the Overland Limited, to which his car was attached. Accompanied by his favorite pet, a nine-year-old pony named Pumpkin, and his trainer, laconic Tom Smith, who slept on a home-sized bed next to him, Seabiscuit occupied one third of the 80-foot horse car* Owner Howard had chartered (for $1,500) for the trip. He watched the scenery through his car windows, walked around for exercise, was carefully...

Charges of dealer coercion were presently brought against the "big four" in Milwaukee, but the case fizzled when the judge discovered the Department of Justice trying to arrange a consent decree on the side (TIME, Nov. 22, et seq.). Since then this particular phase of the tripartite dealer investigation...
Time was when short, swart, flamboyant Harry Stutz roared around the country in his racer, brought back cups to Indianapolis to show that the Stutz was the fastest U. S. car. In 1916 Manhattan financiers made him a good offer for his company, and he sold out. Stutz Motor Car Co. of America Inc. had 13 resounding deficits during the next 16 years...
