...perhaps I'm all wrong that the best jazz music you and I have never heard, has been recorded since 1931. Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about the "jazz classics" where you have the privilege of paying a small fortune to hear Bud Freeman and Pee Wee Russell grunt into their respective instruments on a pretty label. I'm, talking about the records-six bits down-of the Count and the Duke, of Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller, Bittle Holiday and Mildred Balley, Fats Waller and Frankle Newton, and a host of others...

...been around racetracks for over 50 years. Starting as a stable boy at Sheepshead Bay in 1885, he became a jockey soon afterward, rode on the Frying Pan circuit (half-mile tracks), got $5 a ride (when his employers paid off). In the flourishing Nineties, Jim Fitzsimmons became a pee-wee trainer. His big chance came in 1908 when betting was outlawed in New York, the topnotch U.

("Bitsy") Grant of Atlanta, oldest (28) and smallest (5 ft. 3) of the 1939 contenders, who has been among the top ten for the past six years and is famed not only as a tumblebug and crowd pleaser (he is almost as efficient horizontally as vertically) but also as one of the greatest retrievers in the history of tennis.

Among the tennis...
...afternoon last spring-a feat that only seven U. S. jockeys have ever accomplished. Others who had seen him break a leg during a race at Del Mar last summer, marveled at his ability to be out in front again after being dismounted for two months. A barrel-chested pee-wee (4 ft. 8 in.) who learned to ride on the Western "bush"' tracks (county fairs), still lives in a trailer and looks as clumsy as Ichabod Crane on a horse. Johnny Adams has an extraordinary flair for getting the best out of the cheapest plater...
