10,000,000 Citizens Centribute 50 Million Dollars To Make 1941 Most Profitable Year in U. S. Racing

Following is another im the series of dispatches reviewing major sports im 1941

By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORX, Dec. 18—Two thoroughbreds — Whirlaway and Alsab—and some 10,000,000 citizens who shoved almost $500,000,000 through the pari-mutuel windows combined during 1941 to produce what was probably the most exciting and certainly the most profitable turf year ever written into the records in the United States. While the season ended on a sad note when the war forced cancellation of the 1942 winter meeting at Santa Anita Park in California, it shattered almost every mark for betting and purse distribution. More races were run, more horses ran in them, and they paid off bigger dividends than even the most incorrigible optimist had expected. From the thoroughbred standpoint, Whirlaway was the dominant figure. He became the fifth horse in history to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stake; he earned $272.836—the years top figure—and took his place as the third biggest eamer of all time with a total of $345086, and he won other titles for his owner and trainer, Warren Wright and Ben Jones. As well, this three-year-old son

BOSTON—The Boston Bruins have sold Robert (Red) Hamill, husky 24-year-old left winger, to the Chicago Black Hawks for an unnamed sum after “week-end negotiations” in the Midwestern city. Hamill turned pro during the 1937-38 season and started with Providence. He had been with Boston during part of the last three seasons.

for them because they have to play the Chicago Bears, the big, bad

sional football championship playoff game at Chicago Sunday. “You'd think we didn't have a chance the way some people talk about the game,” Coach Steve Owen said. “Well, I'll tell you right now my boys are getting on edge. They were snapping and snarling at each other yesterday and they are going to be ready so let's soft pedal that sympathy stuff.” All the Giants were in uniform and engaged in practice yesterday except Lou Defilippo, second center, who has a touch of the flu.

Purdue Trips U. CL. A. Five

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 18 (U. P.) —A flashy start carried Purdue's

to 27 victory over the barhstorming U. C, L. A. team last night in

a game in which poor passing and wild shots became the accepted

thing. Frequent fumbles and scrambles for the ball turned the play into miniature riots. Only Capt. Don Blanken displayed his usual form for Purdue, sparking the Boilermakers defense with his passing and ball-hawking tactics. Alshuler and Hillis were outstanding for the Californians, It was Purdue's third straight win, and the second loss for U, C. L. A. in their cross-country tour. Purdue’s Frosty Sprowl and Roger Hillis, U. C. L. A. center, matched scoring honors with 12 points each. The Californians meet Indiana University at 8 in their

basketball squad through to a 38.

To Co-Captain Wilbur Schumacher and Sophomore Glenn Miller go second and third scoring honors respectively, while Co-Cap-tain ‘Elwood “Woody” Norris led both teams by hitting nine times from the floor to total 18 points. Schumacher scored five fielders and two gift tosses for 12 points. Miller, six-feet, four-inch pivot man, hit five two-pointers and one charity shot for 11 points. : Butler matched the Illini goal for from the floor, each team netting 22 fielders. The leaders for the hosts were Center Art Mathisen, with 13, and Ken Menke, sophomore forward, who also had 13. Hinkle began with a combination of Norris and Bob Fletcher at forwards, Jim Baumgartner at cens ter, and Emest Tidrow and Jim Deputy at guards. After the Illini controlled the tip-off, Mathisen slipped in a two-pointer from beneath the basket and Vic Wukovits hit from the left side to jump the hosts to an early four-point lead. . It took seven minutes to get the Bulldogs warmed up, and at this point Norris flipped in a basket from beneath the hoop to bring the score to 9-4.
