Discovery Rated High Around Track Stables All Hialeah Jockeys Favor Vanderbilt Ace in Santa Anita Race, McLemore Finds.

BY HENRY MXEMORE United Prtsi Staff Correspondent Kla., Feb. 21.—Mr. Joseph E. Widener, immaculate in his powder-blue flannels, leaned back in the bougan-villia-bordered president’s box at Hialeah Park and said “It frill be Discovery.” Sammy Renick, soaking wet and smeared with the mud he -caught finishing fifth in the third race, yanked at his drenched silks in the jockey room and said “Discovery’ll walk in.” Hirsch Jacobs, leading trainer for the last two years, turned from his job of saddling a big colt in the paddock to say “it oughta be Discovery from the first flag on.” Those three, and a score of others who know a thing or two about the business ot racing, were buttonholed by your ever alert, ears to the ground, representative yesterday, and asked point-blank about the big race at Santa Anita on the morrow. The majority of those questioned believe that when the numbers go up on the board, Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt's champion will be on top. But there were some loud dissenters. One of these was big Jim Healy, trainer for Mrs. John Whitney.

tt it tt "TP it’s muddy, and it looks as if It X will be,” Healy said, “what’s wrong with Singing Wood? They say Singing Wood can’t go that distance, but remember, a soft track adds a lot of staying power to a sprinter, Ycssir, if it’s wet Singing Wood ran run for my doußh. And If it’s dry, I’ll take that Top Row. He's licked Discovery twice, which means he can do it a third time.” WILLIAM H. GALLAGHER, general manager of the Rockingham Park, took time off from marking a friend’s eard to east a vote for Whopper, Hal Price Headley’s giant colt, who stands 17 hands and weighs-ift at better than half a ton. “I saw where the big 'un went the mile in 1:42 4-5 in his last workout,” Gallagher said, “and that natisflfd me. He’s right. I’m going to have a pretty nice chunek on his back, and I don’t think he’ll disappoint me.” BILL HURLEY* who trains for Col. Ed Bradley, cast his ballot for Time Supply, while Mike Jacobs, who knows fighters better than he does horses—Mike says he doesn't know yet whether the cashiers are Chinese or Americans—likes the chances of Tick On. The jockey room was solid for Discovery. Not a single one of the little fellows who boot ’em home gave any horse a chance to-lick the “big horse” as they call the Vanderbilt ace. And they all gave the same reason—Discovery was a great horse, the others only good horses. tt tt n “If he’s right,” said Johnny Gilbert as he pulled on a boot, “It’ll be a shoo-in. And don’t let anybody tell you he has to have everything just to win—a small field, a fast track, and such stuff. That hab.v can run on a roof, or on the side of a hill, or through a hotel lobby.” tt tt tt “X/'OU’RE right,” chimed in BUI I Whisenant. a graying chap it: charge of the jockey’s room. “I saddled him every time he started last year, and he's a champion. The only thing that worries me about him is that he may not feel like : running tomorrow. You know, he ! takes things so easy, he has to be j made to work. But if he’s in the [ right frame of mind, they’ll be chasing him from the first pole right j on to home.” TECH RHINIES WIN The Tech High School freshman team won a 20-to-15 decision over the Manual frosh yesterday afternoon at the South Side gym to avenge a previous loss.

Dodgers Buy Bud Hassett, Sell Sam Leslie to Giants New York Yank Farm at Newark in Deal; Pilot Bill Terry Finally Lands Understudy. By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 21.—Making good their promise to bring a host of new faces into the lineup this year, the Brooklyn Dodgers today purchased another minor league star—First Baseman Johnny (Bud) Hassett of the Newark Bears. He played with Columbus last year.

Hassett will replace husky Sam Leslie, who was sold to the New York Giants yesterday for a reported sum of $25,000. The deal is advantageous to both

Brooklyn and the Giants. It gives the Dodgers one of the most promising minor leaguers of 1936 and will enable Bill Terry, Giant player - manager, t o have an understudy in case he decides to retire from the playing field this season. The deal was accomplished only after several lengthy con fe r -

could find an experienced first baseman, originally had tried to secure Hassett. But the Yankees, who control Newark, objected on the grounds that it would bring a star they had developed too close to home. Then Brooklyn was sounded out and the Dodgers announced their willingness to send Leslie to the Giants if they could have Hassett to replace him. The Yankees, who have no need for a first-baseman as long as Lou Gehrig is around, agreed to such a switch. The Dodgers sent a goodly amount of cash and Outfielder Ralph Boyle and First Baseman Johnny McCarthy to Newark in exchange for Hassett. The Leslie deal brings Sam back to the club with which he started his major league career in 1930. In 1933 he was sent to Brooklyn for Outfielder Lefty O’Doul and Pitcher William Watson Clark.

BY PAUL BOXELL Times Staff Writer Lafayette, ind., Feb. 21.— Meet the boys! You’ve heard a lot about the exploits of Purdue's basketball team as a whole, but you should know the players individually. They’re as colorful a band of Boilermakers as ever finished on top of the Western Conference. And eight Purdue editions have accomplished just that since Ward (Piggy) Lambert became chief engineer in 1919. What’s more, the campus cowboys hereabouts agree to the man that Piggy is coming up with No. 9 this year. You really shouldn’t attempt to argue with them because every point is in their favor, including Purdue’s 337 points scored this season against 212 for the opposition. There’s the fact, also, that the Boilermakers are rolling along in front of the Big Ten, undefeated in eight circuit starts, with rival Indiana pushed back one defeat in arrears. Four games remain for the Lamberts—with Northwestern, Minnesota, lowa and Michigan. Local fraternity Freddies say the boys look good to plow through all of them from here on in. Northwestern, nevertheless, is a dangerous test tomorrow night at Evanston. To get back to our Purdue individuals, there’s no better place to start than with Coach Lambert himself. We won’t dig up his birthday total, but when you observe that he has been head coaching the Boilermakers since 1919 you realize that his hair didn't go gray overnight. • # # u PIGGY is universally rated one of the top-notch playe • developers in his field. He is a confirmed exponent of the fast break, and his teams neve:: play anything but speed-and-m..”e-speed ball. Lambert is batting .712 in the Big Ten league, having won 139 games and lost 56. Once, in ’3O, he produced an undefeated conference winner, though losing two non-league engagements. Incidentally, he’s a melow after-dinner speaker. Recognition as a Distinguished Student is the highest scholastic honor obtainable at Purdue. Included on the varsity lineup are two Distinguished Students; also the

black-headed captain stands a good chance to win Big Ten scoring laurels. He is trailing Bill Haarlow by two points to date, but has played one less game. tt M tt TT'DWARD ELLIOTT, son of University President E. C. Elliott, has been playing regular center since midseason. He’s a senior, and worked his way to che first five by slow degrees from year to year. Six-feet-two, slender, and dark-headed, the girls say he's handsome. He was elected to the Junior Prom committee last year. Ed isn’t a scourge on scoring, but Coach Lambert likes the way he takes the ball off the backboard. Other home-towners in addition to Elliott are Jewell Young and John Sines. Both are sophomore forwards, which doesn’t distress Mr. Lambert a bit. Young, like Kessler, specializes in southpaw stab shots, and, in fact is pressing Bob for scoring honors. They call Sines “the little fellow with the big hands.” He weighs 155, but handles the ball in a man(Turn to Page Twenty-Five)

Feb. 21.—Central Normal College's undefeated basketeers strode through easily to their fourteenth straight victory last night in defeating Valparaiso University here, 44 to 30. The Purple Warriors established their supremacy early in the game and held a 23-to-ll margin at the intermission. Englehart and Roudebush each contributed five field goals to the winners’ total, but high honors went to Fierke, Uhlan center, who garnered 16 points.

High Jumpers May Attain New Goal Leap of 6-10 Possible in A. A. U. Meet. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—A six-foot, ten-inch leap—the dream of all high jumpers—may become a reality tomorrow night. For years the world’s best jumpers have been trying to hit that height and the 48th annual A. A. U. indoor games at Madison Square Garden finally may see it reached. The field, according to Dan Ferris, A. A. U. secretary, is strong enough to force one of the entrants ;o go over the cross-bars higher than man ever has jumped before in order to win. The entry list includes all but one of America’s best jumpers—Walter Marty of California, who holds the indoor and outdoor records.
