By Eddie Ash Murphy Recalls Race Plungers of Old m m m Dwyer Out $60,000 When Own Horse Lost

JOSEPH A. MURPHY, the best known horse race official in the country, likes to talk of the old days on the tracks and tell of the plungers who have passed. Pittsburgh Phil Smith, brother of the late William C. Smith, former owner of the Indianapolis baseball club, was one of the gamest of the old-time plungers. Other well-known horse followers who were prominent then were Riley Grannon, boy plunger of the west; Mike Dwyer and Nick Forsley. Murphy says Dwyer once bet $60,000 on his own horse, Miss Woodford, and stood to win only SI,OOO. Dwyer didn t even watch the race and was talking politics with a friend when an attendant walked into the club house and Mike asked him who had won. When told his entry had lost by a whisker Dwyer said, “doggone.” Murphy also relates a Smith-Gran-non incident. They were betting against each other and a stupendous sum was wagered. It was on a match between Domino and Henry of Navarre. The horses raced neck and neck and finished in a dead heat, with Grannon hanging limp on the rail and muttering, and with Pittsburgh Phil standing by gazing in awed silence. a a a a a a NICK FORSLEY invaded New Orleans and his operations became so bold and spectacular that he stole Tom Shaw’s thunder as king of the betting ring Mr. Murphy has this to say of the plunger Forsley: -If Nick didn t fancy the chances of a horse, his odds invariably reflected his personal opinion and he was the constant target of every better on the grounds because of the long prices he laid. Once Nick offered 2 to 1 against a horse all ofher books were laying at even money or less. Tom Shaw, determined to make Nick back water, demanded $5,000 at 2 to 1. Nick glanced up casually, accepted the heavy wager and said: “And if you're anxious for more I'll give you another $5,000 at 3 to I.’ ” a a a a a a BRUCE DUDLEY, sports editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, relates a college football yarn in Collyer’s Eye publication that rates him a place in the front row at anybody's show. Bruce is the lad who was unable to attend the glorious baseball powwow in Chicago last December because a spider snapped him on the ankle. Dudley sliced a ball Into the rough playing golf and when he walked into the tall grass to retrieve the pellet, the spider beat him to the draw. Now for the football yarn. Some years ago, Louisville university was struggling along with a fairly stout grid team. The Transylvania game was coming up. It was the “big" game for the Colonels. Transylvania lodged a beef against one McCabe, one of Louisville's best warriors. Transylvania intimated that McCabe was paying more attention to football than to his studies. Coach Duffy of the Colonels attached little importance to the rumor, but decided to give his squad some fatherly advice. He called his warriors around him and informed the boys of Transylvania’s criticism. In part, he said: "They even contend, Mac, that casual observation has revealed that you repeatedly have cut classes. Please promise me, Mac, that you will go to college this afternoon and in the morning and hencefoith, at least until after the Transylvania game.” McCabe was willing and readily agreed. He said: “All right, coach. I'll do that for you. 111 be glad to do that for you. Where is the college?” a a a a a a DON HEFFNER, young second baseman, was purchased from Baltimore by the New York Yankees late last season to report in the spring of '34 “You may be too light for the majors,” friends told him. Well, it happens that young Heffner is smart. Instead of idling through the off-season he decided to make it tough for himself and to build up his physique. He is now engaged in hardening himself for big league company and an increase in pay. He is on the high seas working long hours. Heffner signed on as an ordinary seaman on an oil tanker. First, he sought advice on diet as a means of adding to his poundage, and letters home say he has added several pounds. “The stamina next,” Don stated. Not all rookies are dense. Give the Heffner boy credit. B B B B B B AFTER Connie Mack cautioned his ace slugger, Jimmy Foxx. to watch his weight “if you want to hit sixty or more home runs this year,” Jimmy swelled up and demanded more money on his new contract. On top of that Oid Man Mack went into a golf slump and developed a hook from the tee that is giving him the miseries. aaa a a a Sports promoters, except Indianapolis boxing promoters, are prospering by the CWA. The baseball magnates hope the good work continues throughout the summer. a a a a a a CHARLES CARLL, managing editor of The Times, had a conversation with Primo Camera in Florida and learned that the Italian giant is very familiar with Indianapolis except for the fact he thinks it's Minneapolis. Primo knows very little about geography. He just goes where the train takes him. a B B B B B Jack Sharkey says some of the showmanship that Is making wrestling successful should be aplied to boxing. Like Sharkey, most fighters do more talking than fighting. The public wants a Carnera-Baer title go. but is getting Camera and Loughran instead. BBS B B B Admirers of Manager Jimmy Wilson of the Phillies presented him with a cocktail set the other day. When the Feeble Phils fall into their usual slump this season Jimmy won't stop long enough to shake up a cocktail.

He’s Flying Scissors Ace

Two nationally prominent heavyweight wrestling stars, both ex-col-lege athletes, will clash in the main go attraction on the Hercules A. C. mat card at the Armory Tuesday night. They are Dr. Karl Sarpolis, former University of Chicago grappling ace, and Jim McMillen, who was an all-America football player a few r years ago at the University of Illinois. McMillen scales 222 and Sarpolis, 215. Big Jim is rated among the first five best heavyweights in the mat game, while Sarpolis has gained nation-wide attention as an exponent of the flying body scissors hold with which he has floored numerous topnotchers in quick order. Sarpolis pinned Joe Savoldi in forty-six seconds, and in his first pro match defeated the veteran Charlie Cutler in straight falls, nineteen seconds and thirty seconds. His record fall of sixteen seconds. was gained over Nick Lutze, Pacific coast heavy. A “battle royal” is promised in the semi-windup when two rough and tumble artists collide. They are Tom (Bad Wolf) Marvin. Oklahoma Indian, and Matros Kirilenko, a Russian who often enters the ring

Cox Holds Point Lead Wiffy Makes Grand Effort to Win Rich Goif Laurels. BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent AGUA CALIENTE, Mexico, Feb. 3.—Wiffy Cox, Brooklyn (N. Y.) pro. reached the home stretch of the $7,500 Agua Caliente golf tournament today, grasping a one-stroke lead that he built up in three sparking rounds of play, two via the sub-par route. He entered the final round w'ith a 210 total that placed him within reach of $1,500 first prize money. Crowding the New Yorker’s heels, however, was a Los Angeles rival, Willie Hunter, who nearly a decade ago was crowned British amateur champion. Hunter, long since turned professional, all but matched Cox’s card of 69—70—71 with a score reading 71—70—70—211. Ace Hole Scored Olin Dutra, Santa Monica; Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. Y., and Ky Laffoon of Denver, pounded at the two leaders’ heels with 214’s. Os this trio, the brilliant young Denver pro displayed the most sensational golf. Yesterday, he climaxed his showing by scoring a hole in one on the 195-yard par-three ninth, the only ace of the tournament to date. The shot, engineered with a spoon, enabled him to round out the day’s play with a 69. Two under par. Course Record Tied The new' course record, set W’hen the tournament started by Craig Wood of Deal, N. J., was twice equaled. Leo Diegel of Philadelphia, one of the pre-tournament favorites, and Fay Coleman of Los Angeles, each collected a 67 to match Wood's early performance. Bill Mehlhorn. Louisville pro, had scored a 67 on the second round, but slipped yesterday, taking a 75 to land in seventh place with an aggregate of 218. Art Bell of Honolulu had to divide his amateur leadership with Johnny Dawson, Chicago, after Daw'son clipped a stroke from par to chart a 70 for the round and a 220 in his totals. Bell also had 220 after turning in a 71. Gophers and Bucks Clash By United Press CHICAGO.

Disclosing a galaxy of promising young ring stars and providing two thousand fans with action that kept them roaring four hours, the first round of The Times-Legion Golden Gloves amateur boxing tournament was staged in the Armory last night.
