Ted Hay also lost a cup during the ost war (the Leeds, which he won so often it would follow him about). He found it again on the: eve of a meeting in a crate in t lor.!
Ted sent it in post haste to the; jewellers to be cleaned, and they. seeing his name all over it, duly inscribed it again.
No time to get it erased, so Ray saved complications by winning it again. "Saved me buying a new cup mate," said Ted between pipe puffs.
Then there is the case of Arthur Whichells, who went on winning greyhound racing cupa until his wife refused to clean any more. Arthur is solving that one by putting them all up for war char- ity events.

FEAR OF JOCKEY SHORTAGE
I foresee a serious shortage of flat-race jockeys when the new season begins in March.
Gordon Richards, the hampeion, is only one of several who will probably be with the colours in the late spring, and I happen to know that leave of absence for rid- ing engagements won't be as gen- trously bestowed as it appears to. be for the week-end footballers,
