Battle for

Year's Jockey Honors |

Young Rider Now Only Four Wins Behind Joe Culmone’s Record of 371 in '50

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—(UP)

— Young Willie Shoemaker moved |

another step closer to Joe Culmone in their exciting battle for the _ national jockey championship when he accounted for one winner

out of four mounts today at the

Fairgrounds.

Shoemaker won the second race at the New Orleans track with Play Again, who paid $13.40 straight. It was his 387th ‘Winner of

the year, four less than Culmong, who failed to win with five mounts today at Tropical Park. In the seventh race at-the Fairgrounds, Shoemaker just missed another winner when his mount, 'Pat-the-Pilot, was nosed out’ by! Ray Count Miss. However, his one winner helped extend an amazing streak for the mighty little Tex-! an, who has not been blanked since his arrival at the Fairgrounds from the West Coast last Monday. In five days of racing there, he has had 10 winners—an average of two a day. Yuletide Winner Pictus was the winner of the $5000 Yuletide Handicap at the Fairgrounds, while the Sam E Wilson entry of Bugledrums and Royal Mustang finishéd second and third, respectively. Well back during the early running, Pictus swung into high gear in the stretch and reached the wire a length and a quarter ahead of Bugledrums. The winner was clocked in 1:07 1/5 for five-and-a-half furlongs and jald $8.80 to win. In the $5000 Governor Warren. Handicap at Tropical, _ Crystal
