SPORTS. _ ) ?Thirteen Yankee-Owned Thoroughbreds in Aintree Classic GRAKLE FAVORITE, 1 IN FIELD OF 3 Millions at Stake Tomorrow in Sweeptsakes Based on Jumping Race. By the Assoclated Press. IVERPOOL, England, March 17.—Thirty-seven horses will start tomorrow the long journey over the 4Y-mile course at Aintree, known as the Grand National. Not all will finish. They never do. But for the horse and rider that successfully jump the 32 dif- ficult obstacles of water, brush and stone and then manage to show the way past the judges’ stand there await fame and riches. To the successful rider, however, the purse will be small in comparison with the millions of dollars distributed through the gigantic sweepstakes. Thirteen American-owned horses have been named for the race, the blue rib- bon of steeplechase events, first run in 1839. Only one—Sea Soldier—is Amer- ican bred. He is a son of Man o' War, and is entered in the name of A. H. Niblack and backed by a syndicate of 10 wealthy Chicago sportsmen. EA SOLDIERS Is an outsider in the official betting at the Victoria Club, being quoted at 50 to 1. But many Jong shots, some of them just common | “nags” have won. History does not | favor the jumping son of Man o' War, as only one American-bred horse, Rubio, ever won the race, and he was English owned. | Mrs. C. S. Bird, jr’s Heartbreak Hill 15 the most highly favored of the for- eign group to repeat the American- owned triumphs of Stephen (Laddie) Sanford’s Sergt. Murphy, in 1923, and A. Charles Schwartz's Jack Horner, in 1926. Mrs. Bird's Irish-bred jumper has climbed to the position of second choice at 11 to 1. C. R. Taylor's Grakle, winner last year, rules the favorite at odds of 8| to 1, but here again history is against the chances of the 10-year-old jumper repeating. Lottery, winner of the first Grand National, was the only horse ever successful in winning the race two consecutive years. Three others won the event twice, but a year or more intervened before their second vic- tories. REGALACH, the high weight of the fleld, with 175 pounds and winner in 1929, is third favorite at 100 to 7 in the callovers. Mrs. M. A. Gem- mell's star also finished second to Grakle last year. Dusty Foot, hope of John Hay Whit- . is the only other American horse quoted in the official betting. He is held at 28 to 1. Whitney's chances for a Grand National triumph were somewhat dimmed when Sir Lindsay, third two years ago, went wrong two weeks ago. In the unofficial odds, the remaining American horses are quoted all the way | from 33 to 1 on John Drake's Coupe De Chapeau to 200 to 1 against H. Gordon Selfridge’s Ruddyman. R. K. Melion’s Ganglesia, winner of the Grassland Downs race, the only Ameri- can race resembling the Grand Na- tional, is quoted at 50 to 1. Odds quoted against other American horses are Mellon's Alike, W. C. Lang- ley's Evolution and M. D. Blair's Great 40 to_1; J. Metcalf’'s Theras, 50 to 1, and Blair's Prince Cherry and guxnd\ll and J.

S. Tourney. | By the Assoctated Press. EW YORK, March 17.—The National Indoor Tennis Cham-‘ plonships, which started out | to be a sort of Winter pre-| view of what might happen in next Summer’s Davis Cup play with France, as usual, the favorite, have become an all-American Tournament, with the quarter-final round just getting under way. One after another the three French aces—Jean Borotra, four times win- favorite to displace his countryman | this year, and Young Antoine Gentien | —were 'bowled over yesterday by American opponents of comparatively |low rank, and then to add insult to injury, they all were beaten again in the doubles. The outcome of the unexpected slaughter of the French invaders was that Berkeley Bell, runner-up to Boro- tra last year, stood alone in the semi- final round of the singles today after reversing last year's decision with sur- | prising ease, and the other leaders of | | the American seeded list were facing their quarter-final matches. The draw sheet now shows George Lott of Chicago, top seeded player, pitted against Julius Seligson, chunky | New York player, whose steady driv- ing turned back Gentien in straight who conquered Boussus, against Sidney jr, last year’s Wimbledon champion, and Frank Shields, tall New | Yorker, who is seeded second, against Frank Bowden of New York. Bell, a round ahead of the field, meets the winner of the Shields-Bowden match ‘WASHINGTl.]N HEAVIES | ON ALEXANDRIA CARD| 0ld Feud at Portner’s Arena Next Tuesday. | N all-Washington ring scrap, bring- | ing together Reds Barry of the Mohawk Club and Marty Gallagher, | long the leading District heavyweigtt, | will headline next Tuesday’s boxing | card at Portner's Arena at Alexandria.| The battle will be over an eight- round route or less. Gallagher will be out for his second victory over the youthful Barry, who dropped a decision to Marty last Sum- mer at Fort Washington. Barry's fol- lowers, however, point to his draw with Natie Brown recently as an indication that the redhead is ready to reverse the decision this time. Brown recently outpointed Gallagher. Both battlers are reported to be in training for the bout, Gallagher at the Jewish Community Center and Barry at the Mohawk Club. An eight round semi-final, a six- round main prelim and three four- rounders will be announced soon.
