Sabin Ee Rac Mako Fourth
Puts Wood Ahead of Gene As Davis Cup Possibility.
NEW YORK, March 1 (U. P.).— Walloping Wayne Sabin, who has monopolized tennis titles around the winter circuit, today pegged Gene Mako, second ranking player in the nation, fourth in line for a Davis Cup singles berth. Sabin, already in the semifinals
of the National Indoor Championships here, rated Bobby Riggs of Chicago, Sidney B. Wood of New York, and himself iahead of the blond Los Angeles star who went to the final against Don Budge at Forest Hills last September. Why did he rate Wood ahead of Mako in view of Wood’s upset defeat by unseeded Jack Tidball of Los Angeles in the indoor quarterfinals yesterday.
Sabin to Meet Tidball
“Because without a doubt he’s the world’s greatest amateur player on grass today—when he is ins peak form,” Sabin replied. “For the past couple of years Sid has not had time enough to practice and has not concentrated on his game.” Sabin and Tidball, who will meet in the semifinals tomorrow, will be on the sidelines today while the other berths in the round of four are filled. Chauncey Steele of Columbia University plays Charles Shostrom of Chicago, and Frank Bowden engages Morris Adelsherg in an all-New York affair. All the women’s quarterfinal matches will be played today. They send top-seeded Norma Taubele against her mother, Mrs. Rose Taubele; second-seeded Helen Bernhard of New York vs. Mignonne Sommers of Los: Angeles; thirdseeded Millicent Hirsh of New York vs. Josephine Sanfilippe, New York, and fourth-seeded Barbara Nields, Cleveland, vs. Pauline Betz, Los Angeles.

Showers There Will Be, Says Expert Who Forecast Rose Bowl Drizzle.
ARCADIA, Cal, March 1 (U. P). —No big horse race is complete without rumors of rain so today the
weather prophet gazed unblinkingly at a bright sun and forecast showers and other unpleasant conditions for the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap on Saturday. His name was Dr. Irving P. Krick and his reputation impeccable. He said it would rain tomorrow, and that the weather on Friday and Saturday would be generally unsettled with probable showers. The citizens heeded his words despite a general denial from the experts in Los Angeles, because in his last foie-
that annoyed 90,000 persons during the Rose Bowl football game. His newest prediction threw chills into trainers who have been preparing for a fast track and clear skies. Track officials who hope to greet a record crowd of, 65,000 for the fifth running of the world’s richest race winced. Four changes were made in the race: 1. The number of probable starters was raised from 13 to 15. 2. Binglin Stable declared its Don Mike out, but said if the going is heavy Olimpo is in. 3. Raoul Walsh said .his Frexo, still a maiden in America, would be entered on a gamble. 4. A A. Baroni’s Star Shadow, a mud-runnrer, Will accompany the other stable entry Specify if the track is slow. The rest of the expected starters were not affected. Along with probable jockeys they were Charles S. Howard’s Kayak II (J. Adams) and Sorteado (R. Neves); Townsend Martin's Cravat (A. Roberston); Baroni’s Specify (C. Corbett); Major A. C. Taylor's Whichee (B. James); Neil McCarthy’s Today (S. Coucci) ; Louis B. Mayer’s Main Man (G. Woolf) and Quick Devil (C. Bierman): Nelson Howard’s Gosum (A. Gray); A. G. Vanderbilt’s Heelfly (H. Richards); Mrs. P. Corning’s Thanksgiving (J. Westrope); Edward Friendly’s Jacola (N. Wall), and W. E. Simpson's Stands Alone (S. Renick). Three or four others may go if their owners think the sight of their colors in the classic is worth $1000 when entry and starting fees are called Friday, but at least one prominent Jurfman saw the race as a five-horse affair. Hé was Zeke Caress, future book operator, who laid odds of 5-1 on Kayak, 6-1 on Cravat and Whichee, and 8-1 on Specify al and Today.
Destroy Two Horses NEW ORLEANS, March 1 (U. P.). ~—Two thoroughbreds had to be destroyed at City Park yesterday. Mrs. M. J.

Owner Riddle Makes Decision After Horse’s Workout Is Canceled.
MIAMI, Fla., March 1 (U. P.)— War Admiral, Samuel D. Riddle’s famous son of Man O’ War, today was - withdrawn from Saturday's fourth running of the $50,000-added Widener Challenge Cup race at Hialeah Park. A fluctuating temperature which forced Riddle to cancel workouts of the “mighty mite” brought withdrawal of the Admiral, although earlier today Trainer George Conway had announced his fever had dropped to normal. The withdrawal made Stagehand, last year’s leading money winner, the’ heavy favorite for the classic of the Florida winter season. Riddle conferred with Conway at noon and decided that the Admiral had not recovered sufficiently from laryngitis to permit hir to start the race against Stagehand, Bull Lea, Sir Damion, Mythical King and other star thoroughbreds listed for Florida's major turf event. Riddle said that declaring the “mighty atom” out of the Widener was better than risking a dismal performance. Withdrawal of War Admiral erased the possibility of a first meeting of War Admire} and Stagehand here. ;
Kreiger-Conn Bout Is Being Considered
PITTSBURGH, March 1 (U.

Ray announced that Ed Frayne, Madison Square Garden matchmaker, telephoned him an offer to bring Conn to the Garden May 5. Ray withheld his decision pending an agreement on such details as weight, number of rounds and percentage of the gate to be received by Conn.

a Tony To Fight Joe Late in June
Heavy Bout Is to Be Staged Somewhere in U. S,, Jacobs Says.
“MIAMI BEACH, Pla, March 1 (U. P.)—To the utter surprise of no one, Promoter Mike Jacobs today announced that a heavyweight title bout between Champion Joe Louis and “Two-Ton” Tony Galento will be held “somewhere in the United States the latter part of June.” Jacobs said the site and exact date of the fight would be announced later after he learned | whether any cities other than New York are interested in’ staging the bout. It was believed that the fight will be held in a New York ball park. Jacobs said Herman Taylor of Philadelphia, who hoids promotional rights to Galento’s fights for the next five years, has given Jacobs his contract in return’ for a financial interest in ‘Galento’s bouts. Jacobs said no cash deal was made.” Promoter Mike and Galento’s manager, Joe Jacobs, were certain the Louis-Galento fight easily would gray “more than a million-dollar’ ga e. ”.
That Same Proviamation
Galento, who was present at Mike Jacobs’ Roney Plaza Beach cabana, smiled broadly, struck ,a fighting pose for the benefit of the press and loudly proclaimed, “I'll knock dat bum out wid one punch.” It had been common knowledge for several days that the GalentoLouis fight was in the bag. Formal confirmation was held up, however, by Taylor’s demand for a cut-in on the promotion. Galento, the Jersey gargantua, earned the title shot by stawing away honest Abe Feldman in-three rounds here last week. © With Promoter Mike looking on, Galento turned in a workmanlike job before the referee stopped the bout. Tony had even cut down on his * beer diet in preparation for Feldman. The results pleased Mike and: he began huddles immediately afterward with Louis and Taylor,
