Can't Find Space for Names on Davis Cup With a travel record of 100,000 miles established, the famous Davis cup is now safely locked in "the vaults of a Fifth avenue jeweler in New York, awaiting the day soon to come when it will be brought forth from its wrappings, polished and put on display. Strangely enough, the international trophy has done all its traveling without mis hap and is today as shapely and clean-cut in every line r.s vhen first it was chosen as a fine example of the silversmith's art. The silver sides are now so closely covered with the names of men who have played on the various teams that space for additional engraving must be found. Consequently, Dwight F. Davis, the donor, has asked Black, Starr & Frost to de sign a pedestal on whose sides fur ther inscriptions can be made. It is likely, therefore, that when the cup makes its next appearanc;, it vll be somewhat changed from the shape that has grown familiar to the public through a score of year.

"The Rogue of the Turf" that's what they call him. And, so he is. He'll do more eccentric things in a month than a hundred racers will do in their entire career. He has been the subject of more stories and infinitely more cuss ing than any thoroughbred of this era. Naturalist is a 7-year-old gelding, royally bred in France, and owned by J. E. Widener of Philadelphia. One balmy afternoon a season or two ago. Naturalist performed the classic feat of his career. It came about in a two-horse contest and cost at least $50,000 to those who had backed him as the surest thing in all the world. Stops Dead. The event, a handicap affair, was designed to bring into competition a field of star performers. About eight were entered. When the other own ers found that Widener had no in tention of scratching Naturalist, they did the scratching all but one. For they reckoned that Naturalist, then at the top of racing form, would make a show of their thoroughbreds. So only one hoss, who was in for a workout more than anything else, faced the barrier with the old rogue. When it arose, Naturalist flashed ahead. .The farther he ran, the greater became his lead. Twenty lengths in front, he turned the stretch for home. And then well, 10,000 persons watched and saw him do it, yet could hardly believe their own eyes. Having run about five furlongs at top speed, Naturalist decided he had performed a day's work. Or maybe he belonged to some secret labor union among the hosses and had heard a whistle blow. But no mat ter the cause Naturalist started to stop faster than any other horse had stopped before. His jockey began to pound his flanks with a whip. It did no good. Naturalist decided he had- done enough runing for the day. He came to a dead halt as the other horse staggered by. Then despite the ef forts of his jockey, Naturalist turned around completely was headed in exactly the opposite way. Refuses to Run. The jockey fought him no more. The race was long over. So the boy let him have his lead to see what he would do. Naturalist promptly ambled to the inner rail, leaned his head on it, much as a man cups his own head in the palm of his hands. Naturalist, in dreamy eyed con tentment, looked for a while at the field of daisies in the enclosure. After a while he seemed to have satisfied his scenic lust sufficiently for, without urge from the jockey, he whirled around facing the finish line and sauntered along to the judges stand to be unsaddled. Just the other day he faced the barrier with three of the fastest horses in training. When the web bing flew up, Naturalist absolutely lefused to run. He fought again for his lead and because his jockey wasn't a Hercules, he got it. Natur alist then devoted a tew seconds to looking over the luscious appearing grass in the enclosure. Then and only then did he decide to run. And by that time the field was 50 lengths away and Naturalist was hopelessly beaten. Has Good Record. The entire career of Naturalist is mottled with exhibitions of this kind and redeemed by glorious per forfances when he wants to run. In mood, Naturalist can carry a ton of weight over any sort of track and from six to nine furlongs and grab a purse for his owner. He has es tablished many records during his years as a performer and not all of them are for eccentricity. He's one of the most uncertain betting propositions and yet one of the best that ever dug a hoof into the turf. The price laid against hiin by the "bookies" is always gener ous because of his uncertainty. If Naturalist was a consistent horse, he'd rarely have been better than even money in any of his races dur ing the past two or three years. But he's the world's champion "in-and-outer," So the quotes against Drawn for Newi Service G. MENKE. Features Syndicate, Inc.) a million steeds -but never him range from 8 to 5 up to 6 to 1. Those who play him consistently have won heavily, for Naturalist gathers in for tliein with one good race as much as he cheated them out of in three or four of his immortal "flip flops."
