SPORTS. LUCKY DRAW DIPS ODDS ON SANTA ANITA CHOICE Twentieth Position at Post Is Strategic Spot for Whitney Ace—Ladysman Liked Second Best in Classic Field Today. By the Assoclated Press. O8 ANGELES, February 23.— Equipoise, like a statue in fine bronze, stood against the Western horizon today at the cross roads of a great turf career, only the Santa Anita Handicap mile and a quarter short of becoming the leading money winner of all time. If the veteran son of Pennant can finish in front of the field of 21, as he 1s favored to do, his total earnings will et past the present milestone of $376,744 set up by Sun Beau. It will be one of the most severe tests of a long and brilliant com- petitive term in which this star of the Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney stables has finished out of the money only seven times. More than 50,000 persons were ex- pected to jam Santa Anita Park to the limit for a glimpse of one of the finest thoroughbred flelds ever as- sembled. It was probable the senti- ment would be so overwhelmingly in favor of the Whitney horse he would 80 to the post an odds-on favorite. Ladysman Second Choice. HIS in the face of such starters as Twenty Grand, Ladysman, Mate and Head Play, all old rivals of Ekky and a flock of other blue bloods of the turf including Time Bupply, Azucar, Gusto, Top Row, Fleam and Faireno. ‘The horses were expected to go to | the post at about 4:30 p.m. (7:30 pm. Eastern standard time). Out of the 21 listed in the overnight entries, Ladysman was most liked as the runner to beat Equipoise and spoil his plans of blazing the money-winning trail far beyond his present earnings of $334,110. William R. Coe's 5-year-old was liked for several reasons. Ladysman beat the Whitney charger in the Sub- urban Handicap a year ago. He has trained well here—perhaps better than has Equipoise. His impost was 13 pounds less than Ekky's top weight of 130, and he is younger. Twenty Grand, with sensational Silvio Coucci up, also held a fine The overnight entries in order of post positions: Owner, Horse. Sweeping Light. ..L. M. Schwartz. Good Goods. ..

Time Supply, winner of the Narragansett and Bay Meadows Handicaps, had much backing, including that of the track clockers. Azucar, the revamped steeplechase expert, and Gusto also were in for much consideration, not to mention roguish Head Play, a handsome thor- oughbred which experts feel can win if that is his mood. Equipoise Gets Break. QUIPOISE was fortunate in the draw for post positions. Twen- tieth position will his this afternoon, the spot from which he works best. From here Jockey Ray- mond (Sonny) Workman can keep him out of early trouble and perhaps bring him home from back in the rush to win. Ekky was not the only horse in that classy fleld with a chance of passing Sun Beau’s mark. Mate, A. C. Bostwick’s nominee, has collected $297,660 in cash and, with first-place money certain to be better than $100,000, could move into the coveted position by winning. But Mate’s training here has not been impressive, and it seemed on the face of the facts that his chance of topping such an impressive field were remote. Riding Talent Brilliant. TILL, anything could happen in such a large fleld, with the riding talent almost as impressive as | the mounts. Besides Workman and Coucci, there was Maurice Peters, 1934 champion; Don Meade, Tom Luther, George Woolf, Jack Westrope, Charles Kurtsinger and Bobby Jones. But even at this, the Equipoise- Workman combination, on the basis of past performances, was hard to | beat. No other rider has been able to work Ekky as has the Washington, D. C. pilot. He has booted the cham- i pion home in most of his many triumphs since that day in the Pimli- | co Nursery Stakes for 2-year-olds Mrs. S. B.

Llangollen Bar ns for Fifth Year Win Middleburg Trophy By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. IDDLEBURG, Va., m:ruaryl 23.—For the fifth consecu- | tive year, the Llangollen | Stables of Mrs. John Hay ‘Whitney yesterday afternoon won the $2,000 Middleburg Bowl, most coveted award of the annual Middleburg | Hunter Trials held again this season | on the D. C. Sand’s nearby Glenwood estate. While threescore sterling | hunters battled for honors in four | classes, a crowd of determined horse- | men braved a bleak wind for four hours, fortified by open fires, wrapped in blankets and stamping a steady | tattoo on the ground to stave off the penetrating cold. The hardy gallery, numbering in its ranks prominent sporting figures from New York, Mary- land, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, was rewarded with some brilliant performances over the nine post and rail, stone wall and chicken coop obstacles. Mrs. Hamilton Clever Rider. | \HIS year the champion from the ! | Whitney barns turned up in| Cypress Dea Beau, a rangy bay exhibited around the Virginia show circuit in recent years with only mod- erate success. Under a clever ride by Mrs. Peggy Keith Hamilton of War- renton, however, the 8-year-old geld- ing outshone a large field in the Vir- ginia Plate class, open to hunters owned and ridden by members or sub- scribers to an organized hunt. As- sembled for the final judging with the winners of the other three classes of the afternoon, the Whitney pride clearly was outstanding and the Judges reached a quick decision in his favor. In annexing the Middleburg Bowl, Oypress Dea Beau slipped one over on his owner’s Bon Diable, winner of the trophy for the last two years and now considered the ranking hunter in the extensive Whitney string. Bon Diable showed a slight tendency to swerve when Mrs. Whitney rode him over the course and was dropped to second place in the Virginia Plate Tatings. While the Llangollen forces held a voting majority over any other stable in number of competitors and rib- bons earned during the day, the pro- ceedings werebbyt :o means entirely predominated by them. The younger riders displayed their skill in nghe Master’s Plate division, restricted to children under 18 years of age, and the afternoon was climaxed by a double victory for Dr. L. M. Allen of ‘Winchester, whose Clifton’s Rose and Petit Poule, Coq Major and Clifton Benefit Planned For Il Athlete plans a benefit basket ball game and bowling match for Benny ‘Wormesley, former sandlot pitcher and bowler.

C., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1935. STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE by HARLES B. STEWART, vet- eran club-swinger from the Washington Golf and Coun- try Club, today is bemoaning the evil hunch that kept him a year or so ago from jolning the “hole in one club” of the Virginia organization. For Charlie, the man who plays as often as any one around Washington, scored his initial ace on the eleventh hole of the Washington course yester- day, and that evil hunch robbed him of something more than $100. Many months ago a flock of Washington members put $10 each Into a pot, with the entire pool to go to the gent who made a hole in one. Last Fall Reese R. Hair collected the pool with an ace on the ninth hole, the first man to make the ace, and immediately a new “hole in one club” was formed, but Charles Stewart didn't join. He usually scores around 90, and even with the ace on his card yesterday he had 89, composed of a 42 and a 47. V. Calvert Dickey, Joe Baldwin, Jerry Blazek and Thomas J. Rice saw the ace. The eleventh hole at Wash- ington plays about 140 yards these days from the short tee. Down at West Potomac Park E. L. Rice took a No. 4 iron in hand and knocked a ball over the trees toward the sixth green. He found the ball in the hole for the ace. The hole W. R. MeCALLUM plays about 140 yards to the sand green. “ A ND I get worse every time I Telating nowadays. “I've been out six times since the snow cleared away, and each time I've been a little worse.” “How bad?” we asked him. “Well, today I had a 75, which wasn't so good.” “What did you start with?"” we asked. “Oh, about 70,” Freddie sald. And we thought how terrible it must be to be a good golfer and call a 75 a bad score. The two Gardiners—Algie, jr., and A. S, sr—have a laugh on Freddle, for they nipped him at the wire yes- terday, when Preddie had a golf match all packed away. Two up with 3 to g0, Freddie looked like a winner, but the Gardiners won the sixteenth and seventeenth and halved the eighteenth for a split match. The senior Gardi- ner left today for Augusta for a few days of golf. Beware of Claggett Stevens, young assistant pro at Congressional, this season. The young man stepped out yesterday in his first round since mid- January and, playing on temporary greens, scored a 75, three over par. Those temporary greens are short, but they are rough, and what distance is gained by the short course is lost by the uncertainty of the putting. DESTROY HORSES AFTER RACE SPILL Camden, S. C., Event Fatal to Three—*“Cherokee” Is Feature "Chase. BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS, Star Staft Correspondent. CAMDEN, 8. C., February 22.—A fine afternoon's racing at the Wash- ington birthday Camden hunt race meeting was marred by a tragic fourth event. This was the “Mulberry,” a 2- mile race over brush for non-winners. Three horses fell and had to be de- . | stroyed. The first to go was Mrs. Somerville's Wrack Brigade, ridden by Eddie Jen- | nings. He went down at a fence in front of the spectators and broke a hind leg. Next Play Lad, owned by the Brandywine Stables and ridden by Bobby Davis, fell and broke his shoulder. At the next fence, Tout, owned by Tom Waller of Virginia and ridden by Eddie Mitchell crashed through the brush, coming up with a broken shoulder. None of the riders were hurt. Meeting Is Successful. THERWISE, it was a good meet- ing as Camden has ever had. This is considering it is the first race of the season and neither horses nor jockeys are as fit or go as far as they do later in the scason. There must have been at leait 600 cars parked along the track and 5,000 people milling about; the sun was hot, there wasn't much wind, the going was perfect. ‘The most exciting race of the day was the “Cherokee steeplechase.” This is two miles over brush for 4-year-olds and upwards. Rocky Shore, owned | by Harry D. Kirkover and ridden by Raymond G. Woolfe, 4 to 1 in the books, beat Arthur Hagan’s Docklight. ridden by J. V. H. Davis; Alvin Unter- meyer's Drapeau, ridden by Randy |k Davis and Noel Laing’s Fairy Lore, Qo u‘II n. ridden by the owner. Carroll Bassett riding Mrs, T. H. Somerville'’s Mac- roome took the lead and for a while all those watching thought a new and really great horse was in the making. Some day this strong brown gelding will make history. His stride is tre- mendous and he jumps with great boldness. This was his first race, though he was entered once before but never got away, and because he | was too keen he overjumped and went | down, hurting neither himself nor his rider. When he fell he was four or gvled strides ahead of the rest of the leld. Unable to Keep Pace. After Macroome fell Fairy Lore took the lead and kept it for awhile. He jumped beautifully, but wasn't quite fit enough to hold the pace and Rocky Shore, and Dock Light passed him. In the “Washington’s Plate” Hot- spur, 2d, the grand old chestnut fa- vorite, owned by Mrs. W. A. Wads- worth, and ridden by Stuart Janney, pushed his way to a lead in the last third of the race and won. In the fifth race, the “Bloomsbury,” there was an exciting finish. Blue Admiral, owned and ridden by Jim Ryan, won by a neck from The Mole, owned by Mrs. George Eustis and ridden by Bobby Davis. The Mole, which had been running an even third, jumping consistently and well started to make his move before the last fence. He gained ground rapidly, was right in the bit and as they came to the flags it was nip and tuck. Complete results were: Pirst race, J; mile flat—Won by Last Command, owned by Mrs. T. H.

EW YORK, February 23.—The national indoor mixed doubles championship, which will be in the nature of an anti- climax today to the match for the singles championship, or, for that matter, any mixed doubles competi- tion, is made possible largely through the kindness of man players. That's the way Berkeley Bell, vet- eran campaigner and seventh ranking player in the country, views teaming with a woman player. There are ex- ceptions, however, he hastened to add. “If you're lucky enough to draw a 8ood partner,” Bell said, “why it works out OK. although the majority of the women can't handle the steam that comes off & man's racket and they often find it difficult to move around fast enough to be in the right position at the right time.” Just a Time-Killer. e ‘HY, then, did you bother to play in this year's mixed doubles championship?” he was asked. “Well, a fellow can't spend the whole day in bed, especially Wash- ington’s birthday,” he snapped with a smile. “No, I don't want to ap- pear that we're giving the girls a break, because it often happens in mixed doubles that it's the girl who gives the fellow a good big hand in- stead of the other way around—if you get what I mean.” “I'll admit most of the time it is| boring to play mixed doubles, espe- | cially when a fellow is teamed up with a weak partner. Then there are times when playing mixed doubles becomes | & soclal obligation, particularly when tournaments are played at fashionable resorts, l “A lot of the fellows don't care to play in mixed doubles. Personally I don’t mind it if, as I said before, I draw a good partner. A good-natured | fellow doesn’t mind though and you'll find the majority of them willing. Play Each Other. “YT'S an easy game for the fellows. The opposing woman players | make each other their respective | targets, managing to keep their shots | out of the range of the men. The! men, on the other hand, find the woman players softer and have an | easy time scoring against them. So| you see we can coast along pretty | much at will.” Whether it's a duty or a pleasure, it mattered little to Bell today be- cause he and Mrs. Dorothy Andrus were defeated in a twilight semi-final | | yesterday by Jane Sharp of Pasadena, Calif, and Gregory 8. Mangin of Newark, N. J., who will play Mme. Sylvia Henrotin of France and Dr. Eugene McCauliff of Yonkers for the | | championship. The singles final will be a case of | the East versus the West, with flaxen- | haired Helen Pedersen of Stamford, | Conn,, representing the Atlantic Coast | and Miss Sharp carrying the colors of the Pacific. = A.
