Old in Philadelphia Handicap By JIMMIE DONAHUE NEA Service Sports Writer ‘When they announced last autumn | that Equipoise would be retired to the Whitney’ farm at Lexington, Ky., members of the Loyal Order of Thoroughbred Horseflesh stopped bolting their food, quit acting up at the post, and extended a vote of thanks to the powers that forced the Greatest handicap horse of them all into a life of oat munching and knit- ing. All that's changed now. With the news that “Ekky” is to be brought back to the wars in April, the equine brothers are considering a petition to congress, asking a law barring the Whitney animal from the tracks. They point out that his return will deprive them of a decent living and, Policy. Well do they remember: His three wins over Twenty Grand . + .

His record is com- pared to that of the immortal Man Already “Ekky” has earned | more money than “Big Red,” and has, bested the great warrior's time in the mile, although’ not equaling the old- timer’s marks in the mile and an eighth or mile and a quarter dis- tances. C. V. Whitney's chief reasons in bringing Equipoise back to the tracks is to beat the money-winning record of Willis Sharpe Kilmer’s Sun Beau. To-date “Exky” has drawn down purses totaling $322,970, which is $53,- ‘774 short of the record of Sun Beau. The Whitney horse might have} smashed this mark in 1933, but, due to reduction in handicap classic purses, his earnings were cut consid- erably. This year, however, he has; @ good chance to pass the mark, since purses are picking up. His first appearance is scheduled for the $7500 Philadelphia Handicap at Havre de Grace, April 21. If he does break Sun Beau's rec- ord, his fitting reward should be per- manent retirement to a field of lus- cious Kentucky blue grass, where he can romp, roll, and eat to his heart's content.

Paul Mechanic Arts won the semi-final games of the Minnesota high school bas- ketball tournament at the Min- neapolis auditorium Friday night and will meet Saturday night for the state title. Chisholm, back in the finals for the second time in three years, set @ new scoring record for the tournament in defeating Moor- head, 50 to 17, while in a closer game Mechanic Arts squeezed through with a 21 to 17 triumph over Redwood Falls. Moorhead failed to show the style of play it did in winning from Winona in the first round and the height and speed of the Tange team proved too much. South High of Minneapolis and ‘Winona won the privilege of open- ing the final consolation show by victories over Mankato and Cass Lake, respectively. The Tigers of Minneapolis sank field goals readily and often to trim Mankato, 38-28,.while Win- ona was extended into overtime to come out ahead of Cass Lake, 34 to 30. il | Fights Last Night | Cleveland — George Pavlik, Cleveland, outpointed Battling Bozo, Birmingham, Ala.

With half the masters invitation battle done, Jones finds himself no better than twenty-eighth position, far behind the leading Horton Smith and below most of his professional op- ponents of former days. Erratic putting in the rounds sent Jones’ scores high, offset his fine play through the fairways and forced him to post rounds of 76-74— 50. 150. Excluding his performances around the green, Bobby's “comeback” has ‘been successful for his long game hes been near perfect, but inability to re- gain his former putting stroke and the consequent errors have all but pushed him out of the running. Smith played par closely Friday for 8 62 after his opening 70 for.a two- round total of 142, and a stroke lead over the field. Bill Burke, Jones’ successor as the United States open champion in 1931, and big Ed Dudley, whose 69 was Friday's low score, were tied at 143. ‘The veteran MacDonald Smith and a ‘Within easy distance were four strong threats at 145, Leo Diegel, Paul Runyan, Craig Wood and Al Espinosa, while Denny Shute, the Britishr open a stroke further removed.
