SEABOARiyS SUN QUEEN IS WRECKED
Serenty-two horses who haven’t
raced in two months are entoced
for the 101st runnlna of the Grand
National steeplechase March 29, In,
London, England, offering fans tho
biggest gamble in years. j
A few may be scratched on the
final aceptance date this week, but
the present herd—including the
American chaser, Refugio—pfrtBP'
ises the largest field in the hla-
tory of the Jumping classic, con
tested over 4 1-2 miles of Alntree.
Britain's winter, worst in 66
years, was responsible for the big
list and contributed to the riddle.
It forced cancellation of all steeple-
chaslns- since January 21 and re- i
tarded the training of all entries.
With no clues as to form, the
hopeless longshots, traditionally
banished to the pastures by now,
are being left Im because there is
no proof the favorites are superior.
Even the bettor’s first choice,
Prince Regent, is offered at the
long price of 6 1-2 to 1,
Best prededent for the current
situation was 1929 when bad weath-
also curtidled training. Slxty-
er
six chasers, record for the national,
went to the post and a 100 to 1
chance, Oregalach, won.
The U. 8. hope, Refugio, is own
ed by Mrs. FrS[nk Adams of Middle-
burg, Va., and was trained in Cam
den. Her son. Frank, Jr., will ride
the nlne-yeaf-old gelding in the Na
tion, won by American entries
twice—by Rubio in 1908 and Bat
tleship in 1938.
The National, expected to pay
152,000, is run over a triangular
2 1-2 mile course, with the horses
making almost two laps and 30
Jumps.
Only six of last year’s 34 run
ners—one was killed—finished, and
the odds are 4 to 1 against i^ny
horse completing the most grueling
of all races. SUmina and soaring
ability are more important than
speed.

Two comparative strangers to
the scoring column in Camden polo
this season took advantage of the
nensatlonai duel between Harrison
and LIgthfoot on the, turf of Kirk
wood field here Sunday afternoon
to post two counters between the
goal posts to* give the Ramblers
a 3 to 1 decision over the Pal
mettos in the second game of the
series, palmetto won the first
game 7 1o 1 a week ago.
Harrison and I.Jghtfoot, aces of
the polo group here, staged a
private war by themselves. Light-
foot who scored five counters in
the Palmetto win last Sunday found
his offensive today stymied by the
sensational defensive play by Har
rison.
Neither Harrison or Lightfoot
registered on the score sheet. Both
riders put up brilliant riding and
Lightfoot had tho crowd on its
feet time and again by his sensa
tional rallies, only to have the
grand exalted ruler of the Camden
polo world awaiting to break up
the scoring threat. It was Jim
Sweet, a vastly ,Improved rider,
who saved the Palmettqs from the
Ignomy of a whitewash. His score
came in the third chukker.
And the two players who did the
counting for the winners were Kir
by Tupper, Jr., the bridegroom
from Chester, and Moultrie Burns,
gentleni.nn rider of Camden. Tup
per scored in the second and third
and Burns in tho third.
Announcement was made that the
much-talked of Camden-West Point
Military Academy team game would
be played next Sunday at 3 o’clock.
ings would be Issued later.
Tbe flying train, tn leaving the
main line, crashed into several box
cars standing on Ute siding, de-
'Inollshing them and scattering
'their contents, mostly pulpwood
over a wide radius.
Aiding in handling the confused
situation after the wreck were
Chief of Police Alva Rush, Coun
ty Rural Officer Wilbert Williams,
while the efficiency of tne Korno-
gay Ambulancu service was out
standing. >
The Sun Queen carried ninety
passengers, -according to an official.
The wreck put the spotlight on
Cassatt and vicinity all day. Hun
dreds of cars carrying curious pas
sengers overflowed all available
parking apace.
Reports published in afternoon
papers last Saturday to the eWeet
that a score or more of people had
been Injured wore exaggerated.
So far as could be ascertained by
a check of the some 90 passengers
aboard the Sun Queen, there was
one man, Joseph J. Cragin of Ports
mouth. Va., who, with the engineer
of the train, J. H. Johnson of
Raleigh, were hospitalised* ip the-
local hospital. They were not In
Jured seriously.
A number of passengers repo:t-
ed being shaken up and bruised
but there was not a single instance
of any one suffering any broken
bones.
R. E. Hughlet of Hamlet, a rail
way employee riding In the express
car, declared that when the emer
gency brakes were applied, he and
the others in the car threw them
selves on the floor, realizing that a
wreck was Imminent. The same
happened in the mail car where
five employees' were sorting mail.
The hundreds of bags of mall in
the car acted as a buffer to the
men when the car turned over.
Nona were injured.
In the rear Pullman, passengers
scarcely felt any Jar one m(in stat
