War Admiral Favored Florida Classic, Sea Biscuit on Coast.

By JOE WILLIAMS 5 Times Special Writer NEW YORK, March 5—Winter| racing reaches a rather gaudy peak today with the running of the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap in California and the $50,000 Widener Cup in Florida . . . and there must be old timers around who can remem“ber when an entire season of winter racing wouldn’t produce that much money in purses. It was generally agreed last fall the two best horses in training were War

Admiral and Sea-|

- biscuit. Everybody |...

wanted: to. see them brought together, One thing after another developed to keep them apart. They Bsa both run toWilliams day—but in different parts of the country. The Admiral in Florida and the Biscuit in California. Reminds you of the night Max Schmeling showed up in New York to fight for the heavyweight championship—and all the while Jim Braddock the champion was train-}

ing ‘somewhere in the Middlewest 3

to fight Joe Louis. There are times} when sports can be completely whacky. The - California race definitely overshadows the Florida race in public interest. For one thing it promises to stir up keener, lustier competition. All the critics agree the Biscuit has a rousing fight on his hand, or hoof, whereas the Admiral appears to outclass his field by what might be called a comfortable’ margin. It will be no surprise if the Biscuit is burnt; it will be a shock if the Admiral fails to get down there in front. The presence of Earl Sande with his two strong contenders—Sceneshifter and Stagehand—gives the race a sentimental appeal the Florida promoters. can't duplicate. Whether Sande was the greatest jockey of our time may be an open| question in expert circles but to the public at large there has never been the slightest doubt. The Biscuit must give Sceneshifter 18 pounds and Stagehand 30. Of course, the Biscuit isn’t the only horse in the race.- Pompoon, condition uncertain is in there, too. Pompoon would have been the ’37 champion if it hadn’t been for the Admiral. He was that good. He's giving away eight and 20 pounds respectively to Sande’s pair. This weight business makes us old Sande fol- ~ lowers somewhat optimistic.

Track Fast, Field Reduced at Hialeah

HIALEAH PARK, Miami, Fla. March 5 (U. P.).—The field for the $50,000 Widener Challenge Cup race today was cut to 13 as a bright sun promised a fast track for War Admiral, the little son of Man O’ War, a heavy favorite in the Florida classic. Withdrawn from the starting field were Mrs, Ethel D. Jacobs’ Cabellero II, a 15-to-1 shot, and Millsdale Stable’s Infantry and Coppage and Ramsey's Mucho Gusto, which were in the mutuel field entry at 50 to 1, and DeWitt Page’s_ Maedic at 100 ol.

At this point, Brehob’s began a final dash that left Hoosier far behind; Ollie Schmall’s 10 points gave him high scoring honors for both teams, as he led the Brehob offensive. The Hoosier A.

the heavy work will get under way. Chief Schalk has announced there will be one long practice session a day and guarantees it-will be long enough to get the boys in shape for the early opening of the exhibition schedule on March 20.

Squad of 35

Thirty-five players will be on hand by March 13 and the weeding out process will start after all candidates have been inspected by Schalk. Several are untried rookies who will “be turned over to Coach Wes Griffin while Schalk concentrates on the experienced pastimers.

terms and Jack Rothrock, veteran outfielder purchased from the Philadelphia Athletics, wants to be traded to the Pacific Coast League. He lives in Long Beach, Cal, and prefers to play in the Far West. T h e Indianapolis management hopes to arrange a deal which will satisfy both parties.

Threatens to Retire

Jack threatens to retire rather than come East for seven months and probably is lost definitely to the Tribe. He is a strong hitter in Class AA ball and his announcement is a blow to Tribe hopes. The Tribe holdouts are Outfielder Frank Doljack, Infielder Vincent Sherlock, Infielder Bob Hoover and Pitcher Jimmy Crandall. They will not be classed as holdouts, however, unless they fail to report on time at training camp. And it’s nothing new for Sherlock to delay the placing of his signature on the dotted line. He balks every spring.

Latshaw Escapes Flood

Bob Latshaw, young first baseman, motored in from California today. He resides at El Monte, Cal., and left before the flood struck the state. Bob will store his machine here and go to camp by train with Manageér Schalk who will pick up several players at Cincinnati tomorrow night. Pitcher Bob French joined Latshaw here and they will leave for Cincy tomorrow. Wade Killefer, the Indians’ former pilot, who resides at Hermosa Beach, Cal.,, got a wire through to Indianapolis today and notified Dale Miller, Tribe secretary, that his family escaped the flood and

that his home is “high and dry.” |

Wade will pilot the Hollywood team of the Coast League this year. Leo Miller, the Indians’ general manager, is already in Florida sounding out the big league clubs for alent to add to the Tribe roster.

Barlund Stops ‘Buddy Baer

Max’ s Brother Helpless in Seventh Round. NEW YORK, March 5 (U. P)—

Before he stepped into the ring last night against Gunnar Barlund,

lM SO A Sn Lg

a rugged Finn, they were saying|:

that some day Buddy Baer would

become heavyweight champion—|

just like his brother Max. But again the wise men of punch promenade were wrong. After a minute and 36 seconds of battling in the seventh round, Buddy was carted out of the ring, the victim of a technical knockout, and suddenly Barlund was being hailed as a prospective champion, For one round, 242-pound Buddy, who had a tremendous physical advantage over the tough Finnish battler, looked as though he might fulfill the glowing predictions re-

garding his future. That was in the|

first round when he gave Barlund a bloody nose and opened a nasty cut over his left eye. But after that Buddy was a sorry fighter and the referee, who claimed he acted because Baer said “I've had enough,” stopped the battle in the seventh round after “the gunnar” had hit Buddy 20 straight Smashes in the face without a reurn

It was the first time in 44 fights]

that young Baer had been stopped and the only glory left for him was that he still has yet to be ‘floored.
