Hoosier ‘Rough Rider, 74
Reins Sulky
By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer GOSHEN, N. Y., Aug. 8--Silver-haired Bi Shively, who served under Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish-American War, was drawing all the praise today for Sharp Note's stunning triumph in the Hambletonian Stakes. The 74-year-old Hoosier horseman (Goodland, Ind.) became the oldest winning driver in the history of the famed sulky derby when he guided Sharp Note to victory yesterday before ar estimated 15,000 fans at Good Time Park. \ Sharp Note, who is owned by C. W. Clark of Dearborn, Mich., needed three heats to win this second - richest — Hambletonian. The dark brown colt, purchased for only $1000 in 1950, finished 10th in the first héat and then won the next two to account for
the winner's share of $47,236. » ” »
IT WAS the first Hambletonian winner for Shively, who started his career as a thoroughbred jackey when only 9 years old and has been active in harness racing for 58 years. He appeared as a driver in only two other previous Hambletonians because he never seemed to be able to locate
a good trotter. ” td 5
HOWEVER, when Sharp Note won the Western Trot at Santa Anita last spring, old Bi wag sure he had a good candidate for the Hambletonjan. He obtained permission from Clark, who has been in the harness racing sport only six ‘years, to ship the colt to Goshen. That was early in May. With three months to. prepare for the big race; Shively first gave Sharp Note a long vacation. Then the kindly, former Rough Rider started to condition his black beauty for

the greatest effort of his career.
» » » IN THE pre-Hambletonian gossip, Sharp Note rated only slight mention. They said the colt had been away from the races too long. And when they ran that first heat yesterday it appeared the pundits were right. Sharp Note wound up far back in the field, while Hit Song trotted home first ahead of favored Duke of Lullwater. The Duke was favored again in that second heat, but this time Shively and Sharp Note were ready. They burst out of the pack in the stretch and won it with another late charge and the Duke, who has never been able to win at Goshen, wound up third behind Hit Song. When Shively returned to the winner's circle with the trotting world's new champion, he was surprisingly blase. td ” Ed “I WOULDN'T call this my greatest thrill in harness racing,” he said, “because I'm a little too old now. If it happened 40 years ago it would be a different story. But I do like the money.” Johnny Simpson, who had hoped to become the youngest winning rider of the event with Duke of FLullwater, objected to the condition of the track, which had been drenched by heavy rains on Wednesday, forcing a 24-hour postponement of the race. \ “I think the Duke still is a

good horse, but he just couldn't do his hest on that track,” said the 32-year-old driver. un » 8 THE TRACK still was a: little soft when Hit Song clicked off the first heat in 2:05 flat. But it appeared to get faster as the afternoon rolled on. Sharp Note took the second in 2:02 3/5 and won the third in 2:03 2/5. Sharp Note, who was Clark's first entry in the Hambletonian, was the third choice at 3-1 in the first heat. He was permitted to win at nearly 7-1 in the second, and then won the third at almost even money.

Davey to Fight Graziano Sept. 17
CHICAGO, Aug. 8 (UP) — Chuck Davey and Rocky Graziano will meet in Chicago Stadium Sept. 17 in a 10-round match to climax the Stadium’s summer boxing series, the International Boxing Club said today. Truman Gibson, secretary “of the IBC, said Davey was anxious to fight Graziano after “Jim Norris (president of the IBC) assured him he would get a welterweight title fight immediately if he beat Graziano.” : Davey has not been beaten in 35 pro fights, and Graziano Is hailed as one of the most dangerous punchers in the game.

He then added that the U. S. would be accustomed to Macken's booming, “big” game, a type often employed against it. But, he pointed out, the Americans might not be used to the slices and chops of the unpredictable Rochon. » td n “WE'RE NOT likely to beat them,” said Leclerc, “but Rochon and Main may surprise them enough to win a set or two.” Macken, naturally disappointed, backed up his eaptain and said, “I guess it was a smart move.” Canada has won only one Davis Cup match in eight pairings with the U. 8S. That came when Marcel Rainville beat Sidney Wood in 1931.
Although both Seixas and Flam were confident, neither appeared
to take the Canadians lightly. “They both play a good game,” said Seixas, who met Main in a doubles’ match in Bermuda last year.
Seixas and Flam were expected

THE INCREASE in prices has been a general one brought on by higher taxes, increased cost of {equipment, materials, rent, labor” |and other expenditures.
One proprietor said cost of sanding alleys two years ago was approximately $15. an alley. He said sanding alleys today costs from $24 to $35 an alley. ” n n
THE INCREASE in city and county bowling prices has been! approved by .,the Indianapolis Bowling Proprietors, Inc., embracing some 22 houses. All new bowling prices are expected to be uniform when the bowling season gets underway next month. Last year’s cost for three games in league competition was $1. {Open bowling costs were 33 cents) per game. " - ”
INCREASES here resulted from lifting of price controls of bowling by the Office of Price Stabi-' lization July 1. The increase here is in line with the nation-wide trend. Cost of league games last year in Chicago and Detroit, one proprietor said, was 40 cents a game.’ Some California alleys charged
