NEW YORK, Feb. 25. The hottest horse, currently injlorida is Concordian, that won the $25,000 McLennan Handicap at Hialeah and already has been picked by Ben Jones to win the, $50,000 Widener Handicap on March 2. Ben will run both Armed and Pot o' Luck, out of the Calumet barn, against Concordian in the Widener and, 'naturally, hopes to beat him but he is realist enough to believe that Concordian will win on the scales, as they say in the prize fight business. Meaning that with a feather impost of only 109 pounds, the fast breaking front running four-year-old i i a i a- 1 a geiaing wui oeai nis entry as week.

That is to say, by about five lengths. Concordian was bred by P. A. X- B. Widener and raced by him through 1944 and most of 1945.

As a two-year-old he won three races and finished third three times in nine starts. As a three-year-old: he went to the post J3 times loi Widener. win one race, finished second five times and third four, but although he always was in there giving it the big try, he was not a stake horse of quality and during the Pimlico meeting last Fall Widener sold him to Murphy, a Philadelphia paint contractor, for $5,000 or $10,000, depending upon whom you hear tell the At any rate; almost immediately thereafter, Concordian ran Pot o' Luck right down to the wire in the Bowie Handicap, finished second. So far this year" Concordian has made four starts and won all of them- and looms as one- of the best of the handicap horses. It could be that, at four, he has hit the peak fit missed at two or three.

It could be, because well bred horses in spite of early failures, sometimes mature late as racers and he is by Sickle-Peace. Liked to Sell Winners. If he. holds that peak and, although picking up weight as he moves along, knocks off one rich prize after another, the chances are that Widener will cot be In similar circumstances his father, the late Joseph E. Widener, was delighted.

Backrin 1936 the elder Widener sold a home bred called Rush-away to A. G. Tarn, a horseman from Western Canada and now i the father-in-law of Johnny 1 Longden and, in Tarn's colors. itusnawav won tnree aermex i the Illinois, the Latonia and the Louisiana in a space of eight days. This prompted some one to ask Widener how it felt to see a horse he had bred win three derbies or another owner and be laughed and said: "Great! like to sell winners.

So does every other breeder. They bring the buyers- back, looking for more." Jockey Is Joe Renick. To at leas: one long range observer of this recent triumphs of Concordian, an interesting de tail is that, in these four races, he has been ridden by Joe Renick, hitherto not precisely distinguished as a jockey although every once in a while he has made friends of the mutuel windows by sneaking home on a mount that paid anywhere from $40 to $100 for $2. Joe was born and reared on the East Side, is 36 years old, has been riding for 16 years and, for a long time, was known generally as. "the other That was in the time wten his brother Sammy was booting home winners for the late Bob Smith.

Whatever qualities Joe had as a race rider, they did not match those of his kid brother, who was rated with the best in the country when he inexplicably hung up his tack' for the last time and, up to now, has shown no eagerness to resume a career that had been so successful. Racegoers would be talking bout jockeys and one would mention Renick. "Not he would say. The other Renick." 'On Bill Now, in the blue, and i gold ilks of B. A.

Murphy, "the other Renick" has emerged from the virtual obscurity thrust upon him by Sammy. In appearance, he resemEles, in miniature, the paintings or etchings you have seen of old London prize ring gladiators, with his weather beaten face, broken nose and cropped side burns. He is a light weight rider, scaling no more than 90 pounds or so and, much in demand by owners with lightly weighted horses, prefers to ride free lance, finding that way of operating more profitable and in the long run, more pleasing. He has one quality that would hjave recommended him to the "fabulous Father Bill Daley; he likes to get off in front, -which was what Daley i demanded of his riders so much so that, although Daley has been in his grave these many years, they still speak on the race tracks o.a boy in front from the start as being "on the Bill DaleyC. Slow breaking, come-from-be-hind horses are not to Joe's liking and he will not ride one of them if he can help it and, being a free lance, he generally can.

It is this combination of a front running horse and a front riding "boy that is making B. A. Murphy "happy at Hialeah. Concordian has had many other jockeys Wayne Wright, Johnny Gilbert, Nick Jemas and Sterling Young, for instance. But only "the other Renick" has brought him down in front four times in a row.

St. Patrick's Win Game Jn CYO Puck Playoff St Patrick's scored a 4-3 win over Blessed Sacramendast night In a -payoff game for fourth place in the CYO League. Canadian Martyrs and St. Theresa played to a tie in another CYO playoff.

By FRANK GRAHAM easuy as ne oea.i Armea last Hull Volants Make Final Appearance Tonight Against Aces i Hull Volants make their last QSHL appearance of the season tonight against Quebec- Aces, and it will also be the last Ottawa appearance of the Aces un ess they turn up against Ottawa Senators in the playoffs. The Aces are currently in fourtn spot, three points behind Sbawinigan, and they can answer all questions on the QSHL playoff positions if they lose tonight. A Quebec loss would clinch third place for Shawinigan, and bring Royals against Quebec, and Ottawa against Cataracts in the semi-finals.

1 If Aces win both their final games, here tonight and against Royals Sunday, combined with a Shawinigan loss, in' their game against Senators here tomorijow night, it would boost the Quebec crew into third place. For Volants, it's their last, spin of the season. If they win this one they bring their winning total into double figures Volants have won nine so far this' season. This game gives Allie Garland his last look at the 1945-46 edi tion of Volants to pick out charges he wants to carry over into next year's Volants. The Hull club is planning on a large-scale rebuilding plan, and hone to a little closer when QSHL play off time rolls around a year' from now.

Attaching a buggy looking bit of concealed feathers and such which they told me was a Grey Hackle fly, I shook the line of my nine foot fly rod with consummate ease, it says here. The delicious-looking grey hackle, delicious looking to fish, that is, danced lightly over the water. At the other end of the lake, two beavers were busy with dinner, although I don't see how: they enjoy that tree bark. A tender, year-old buck deer, probably aware that it was out of season, stalked boldly up to the edge of the water and took a sip jumpjng back as he heard the whistle blast of the cop on the corner. The grey hackle still did the wildlife rumba over the surface of the water.

And then, suddenly all perdition popped up. The bamboo rod did a U-turn, the reel made a noise like six tomcats on a tin roof and the fly was gone. "Excited? Who's excited," I said smoothly in a mild sort of scream. And The Crowd Roared. Then, Old Fearless proceeded to give one of the greatest exhibitions of dexterity and skill with a fly line ever seen at 49th street and Eighth The crowd had disappeared in a very uncomplimentary manner when the casting was in progress, with the exception of one crabby guy trying to get a hook out of his hat AUDITORIUM 0i that It's in a class by sensation" that swept it was first introduced.
