PAGE SIX THE CARBONDALE (ILL.) FREE PRESS SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1947 Grand National Steeplechase Tops World Racing News By BILL MACKLIN ENGLAND, March 29 steady downpour of rain in the early morning hours today made the Grand National Steeplechase anybody's race. Tho gloom of the hundreds of thousands racing fans was almost as thick as the mist that reduced visibility to quarter of a mile over the gruelling course. Plenty of thrills and spills were forecast for the muddy going over the 30-jumps that have caused four horses to be destroyed in the last two days. Betting increased on 100 to 1 shots since backers of J. V.

Bank's favored Prince Hegent, carrying top weight of 175 pounds, was expected to find the heavy going difficult. A total of 58 jumpers from three countries were scheduled to start in the century-old jumping classic. English and Irish jumpers generally were preferred by bettors, and America's Refugio was classed as an outfitter; Because of its treasured place in the Brush sporting calendar the Grand National received special relief from Britain's austerity rules. The government approved a special broadcast of ho race during the mid-afternoon hours when all Britain normally shuts off electricity i 'to save coal. Lancashire County police were ready for a record crowd of more 250.000.

This is the first Sat- i urday running of the race ib the government's hold-down on mid-'j week sports.
