Steeplechase Field Cut To 39 Horses Aintree, Kngland, March 22 The Held for Friday's running of the National Steeplechase was reduced to 39 today with the scratching of Jones as trainers predicted a fast track and possibly a new record for the trying test of four miles and 866 yards. Davy Jones, the gallant little Jumper which all but had the 1936 race won when his rein broke at the last fence, has no liking for the hard going which is expected to prevail for the 100th running of the classic.

The prospects of fine weather and a fast track caused some train ers to predict that Golden Miller's record of nine minutes. 20.4 seconds would he eclipsed. The conditions also are expected to favor the speedier, younger horses, many of which have never had had a chance to prove their mettle over Aintroe's rugged country. IIIIWS FOR TITLK Ann Arbor.
