PAUL KEESTER GOES SOUTH CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 21. After spending several weeks with his parents at Dayton, Ky., Paul Keester, long a victim of increasing weight, packed his riding tack today and left for New Orleans, where he will be seen in action during the long winter meeting at the Fair Grounds opening, Thanksgiving Day. Down to 113 pounds, the lowest since 1936, Keester is continuing to wage a successful battle against "Ole Man Avoirdupois," and is likely to cut quite a figure in the riding ranks this winter. His services should be much in demand. According to his agent Dudley Woolfolk, Keester may have the mount on Zevson, sterling six-year-old son of Zev and Delphine, in the Thanksgiving Day Handicap at the Fair Grounds.
