1 Admiral Goes Down Giving
¥/ ‘Race His All
Joe Feels Tug at Heart as ‘Western Horse Outruns - Pet of Turf.
BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 2—Just for memory’s sake, let’s take another look at the Seabiscuit-War Ad-
‘.. miral race down in Baltimore yes-
terday. To a lot of us this was the greatest race we ever saw. Quite
loosely we might even say it was 5
‘the greatest
race ever run in America. / >
There was something about the|! race that left you limp. And it did . not matter whether you had a bet |; “Aon it. Perhaps it did matter a great | {eal if you were awfully fond of}: ane of the two horses—say the Ad-|i
pyiral, as I was. I never saw him lose a race, though he had been beaten. To me he was, and still is, one of the prettiest looking little horses that ever stepped out on a track.
Proud and sporting and eager for: I felt|®
“any sort of a racing test. mighty close to him, I never wanted to see him lose. But when the match race at Pimlico yesterday was over I knew, along with the other thousands who
crowded the ancient stands, the| Admiral had met his master; he had | * been beaten by a champion, a 5-| year-old horse who is entitled to all. the plaudits that blinding speed, |:
courage and endurance warrant,
Race Truly Run
On Fast Track There could be no question about it and there is no question. The Biscuit is the better horse. The race was truly won under conditions more than suitable to both contenders. The Biscuit won going away at the end of a mile and three six-
teenths and in record time for the}
track.
I'm trying to give the Biscuit all | 3
he deserves. It is impossible to over-
state the brilliant qualities of his};
performance. By now I am convinced the Admiral could never beat him at any distance, from half a mile to two miles. But I'd like to tell you of the emotional tug I got out of seeing the Admiral try, and, I hope, many others did. :
The little fellow certainly gave it :
everything he had. As you know, it took a lot of time, trouble and | “patience to bring the two horses together on the same track. Four times they had been scheduled to meet: just as often they failed to meet. Their owners, Charles Howard of the Biscuit and Sam Riddle, of the Admiral, had come in for much angry public criticism.
Biscuit's Owner New on Turf
Besides Howard was a Johnny-come-lately, Nobody had ever heard of -him in racing until he picked up the Biscuit for $8000 from the Wheatley Stable. Riddle, of course, was the man who had brought out Man O' War, and was, therefore, a pillar, as I believe they call it, of the American turf. Also there had been several other now-we-race and now-we-=don’t race things. But all of that is over the dam. Whether the two horses could have been brought together before, whether there was at any time fear in the heart of either owner—which I now doubt very much—and { “yHether this supposed fear was + Sthmpted by pride or commercial ® reasons, I don’t know, but doubt. Well, anyway, along about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the match race that many people said coilld never be made became an actuality. The Biscuit and the Admiral stepped out on the track.
Admiral Gets Off in Front
It was a good start, from a walkup, and both went off level, nose to nose, and in the first few strides the A¢miral took the lead, as he always does, being a fast breaker. As an old fan of the Admiral I really thought it was all over right then. But the race wasn't very old, in fagt it was in the running of the first furlong, when a surprising thing happened. Georgie Woolf on the 'Biscuit came up from behind on th@ outside and struck in across the track to go in front of my pet. Nobody had even done that before. They went around the first turn and the ’Biscuit was in front by two lengths. They started up the back stretch) with positions unchanged and about mitdway Charley Kurtsinger on the Admiral called on his horse to go to! town. The Admiral responded nobly. He made up ground from the outside, came up more or less even, cldse enough anyway to leok the ‘Biscuit in the eye, and to say, in effect, “Here we are. .raffe of it.” j Als was when we all thought the iral would take charge of the rae. But another surprising thing happened. The ’Biscuit looked him right back in the eye, and, in effect said, “So you want to run. Well let’s see what you've got.” This was deep in the back stretch. Given Whip for First Time At this point there was no telling whe was going to win. But if you .. had leanings toward' the Admiral “ou were surprised that he didn’t « ahead..

Krieger Upsets Hostak;
Middleweight Champion “In Long Scrap.
SEATTLE, Nov. 2 (U. PJ). Paunchy Solly Krieger, the Brooklyn butcher boy who never seems to get enough to eat, was almost middleweight champion of the world today, recognized everywhere but in his home state of New York where a mass of red tape bars his claim.
Solly licked the daylights out of Al Hostak of Seattle last night in a 15round match approved by the National Boxing Association as for the world 160-pound title. The N. B. A. recognized Hostak because of his one-round knockout of Freddie Steele, Tacoma, Wash, in July. The New York Commission withheld recognition, however, because Hostak was not the No. 1 challenger. Nearly 10,000 persons saw Krieger halt the meteoric rise of the 22-year-old Westerner who had scored 17 consecutive knockouts. It was Hostak’s first title defense, and fistic followers from coast to coast had been convinced, until last night, that Solly never would have been brought across the continent except as a setup. But Krieger took Al's Sunday punches right on the button and kept dealing out more than his share of the punishment. Hostak followers were quick to blame his poor showing upon a pair of bad hands. His manager, Eddie Marino, claimed both of Al's hands were broken in the fight. They were badly swollen after the match and he was sent to Providence Hospital to have X-ray pictures made. A preliminary examination indicated that Hostak's left hand might be broken, but there seemed to he no fracture in the right. ! Krieger battered Hostak badly about the eyes, and the champion could hardly see in the closing rounds. It was the New Yorker's great body punching, however, that won him the vote of the two judges. Referee Rod Murphy called the fight a draw. Hostak was the aggressor at the start and staggered Solly several times with short rights to the head. It was the first time Al had gone more than nine rounds. Toward the end he was very weak. In the 14th Krieger dropped him to his knees with a sharp ieft hook to the jaw but he was back on his feet at the count of two.

Welter Bout Postponed
Armstrong Reported Injured And Garcia Match Is Set Back.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2 (U. P.)—Was it the lip or the back that caused postponement of last night's scheduled welterweight title fight bewteen Champion Henry Armstrong and Ceferino Garcia until Nov. 25? That question swept through Battlers’ Bund today on the current of thousands of bakbling tongues as Promoter Mike Jacobs sought ap-
proval of the new fight date from the boxing commission.
Armstrong, who wore the “iron mask” to protect his spongy lower lip during training for the bout, suf-
fered a back injury yesterday in his last limbering exercises at the Hippodrome. So the scrap was postponed until the day after Thanksgiving. A back injury is the bugaboo of insurance adjusters—as indeterminable as a woman's whim—and, in the fight racket, as suspicious as the stench of acid on a second’s sponge. Remember, that was the alibi astute Max Schmelling used after his firstround knockout by Joe Louis.
What specialist could declare with certainty that there was nothing wrong with Max Schmeling—or with Henry Armstrong? None could. It is the conviction of some sane thinkers along punch promenade that both Schmeling and Armstrong were injured; particularly Armstrong. The reasons are: 1. Promoter Mike Jacobs is sure to lose by the delay. He loses a valuable date at Madison Square Garden, after a sellout crowd was virtually assured. He is forced to shift this bout to a date already tentatively occupied by the Bob PastorGunnar Barlund heavyweight bout. 2. Even if Armstrong had a lower lip still unhealed after the battering in the Lou Ambers lightweight title fight, Promoter Jacobs would be better off if Garcia wrested the welter crown from Armstrong. Because he has a halter on Garcia if he wins the, title. And he would be better off having the welter and lightweight crowns resting on two

Honor Games List Increases ‘But Scores Are Still In Low 600s.
The local bowling honor count list, which for two weeks has been as lifeless as a boiled lobster, swelled with yesterday’s Indian Summer heat but all of the inflation was at the bottom. The night's top was a mediocre 651 which headed a list of nearly 40 keglers with 600 or more—one-sev-enth of whom were below the 640 mark. The Charley’s Restaurant quintet of the Pennsylvania Recreation circuit grabbed off the high team laurels with a strong 3041 with three members hitting over 600 and two with 589 or more. The Federal Auto Supply five smacked a 2880 for the runner-up spot with Coombs pacing them as he rolled a 627. The Restaurant group downed the Speedway Merchants, two to one, in chalking up their .over-3000 pin total. Opening with a heavy 1035 they jumped to a 1047 to take the first two rolls. A 959 finish was topped with a 993 by the Merchants. "The Restaurant score card: N.

Yearlings Catch Fancy at Auction
A number of trotters and pacers were yet to be sold today as the second session in the auction at the State Fair Grounds got under way. A large number of owners and driv=ers were on hand for the bidding.
Yesterday's highest price was the|.
sale of Colossal at $4000. However, the bid was made by J. D. McKeen, administrator for the McKeen estate of Morris, Ill, owners, taking the horse out of the bjdding. Previously the top bid was between $2000 and $3000. Yearlings found favor with buyers. Stacy Van Walkenburgh' of Danville, Ill; bought a yearling filly by Bradford’s Peter, dam Agnes Worthy for $500. Another yearling filly by Grattan-at-Law, dam Margaret Vonian, was pure hased for the same amount by Leo Hoff of Evanston, Ill. Walter McCord of Oaklandon bought Grattan-at-Law for only $510 while "Agnes Worthy brought $350. She was purchased by Lawrence Brown, Walnut Hall Farm superintendent. :
