SPITTIN' IMAG Key West Third Race Pays $385.80 Quiniela Spittin’ Image proved that he is a real champion last night at the Key West Ken- nel Club when he triumphed over a classy field to cop the Navy Charity Special as a feature of Charity Carnival Night at the Stock Island ayout. To gain the win, Spittin’ image was pressed into ty- ing his own track record at 31.3 seconds over the 5/16 mile course by Really True and Wilshire who finished second and third respective- ly. : The fleet, two-year-old greyhound, owned by Mrs. H. E. Russell, took the lead at the first quarter post and stayed to finish two lengths ahead of the pack. The winner paid 5.40, 3.60 and 2.80. Really True paid 5.60 and 5.00 while Wilshire returned 8.80. Thousands of Key Westers jam- med the track for the evening, when the Kennel Club turned over the net proceeds of the evening to the Navy Charity Carnival. The big thrill of the evening was the third race Quiniela which coupled Merry Polka and Nevelyn to pay off a whopping $385.80. At least one local racing fan hit this one. The Daily Double returned 68.60 when Mack Truck and Reckless Trudy came in with wins. Tonight, another pack of top dogs will go to the post in the feature race of the evening when Forward, who copped a win in his last start out, tackles such dogs as Withwin, Up Trail, British Isle, Last Sum- mer, Turning Point, Anna O. and Lost Trail. Any one of these dogs could con- ceivably finish a winnef since they beast some of the most distinguish- ed lineages at the track and have lon making impressive showings.

Randy Turpin or Bobo Olson. The Davey invincibility myth was exploded last night by a 10th- round technical knockout in Chi- cago Stadium. A crowd of 17,450 paid a record welter bout gross gate of $275,454. “It’s now middleweights for me,” said the jaunty Gavilan, unmarked after his triumph. “I want take on Turpin or Olson.

But the maneuver underscored the fact the Kid was not rushing a knockout. It was Davey’s trainer, Issy | Kline, who prevented Chuck from | staggering out for the 10th round, jas Davey wanted to do. ; “I had the doctor (Irving Slott of the Illinois Athletic Commis- sion) look at Chuck,” said Kline. “He was gasping for breath from a punch to the Adam's apple. He suggested we call it quits. I'd have done it anyway. If Davey went out for that 10th, he’d have been } killed.” The beginning of the end came in the eighth when Gavilan opened ta gash on Davey’s right cheek- | bone. Davey came out fighting in the ninth. He started exchanging | punches with the Kid and signed his own death warrant. A jolting right floored Davey in the middle of the ring. The birdies still were singing when Chuck arose at a nine count. Bang! Gay- ilan smashed a left hook that floored him again for nine. Gavilan moved in for the kill.

Referee Frank Gimer = peddle the National leagues’s atest home-run hitter, Ralph Kiner, without notable success. It is very unusual for a club to admit publicly that a star of Kiner’s magnitude is on the block. In fact, we cannot recall quite a similar instance in a long acquaint- ance with the strange ways of big league baseball. That the Pitts- burgh slugger was not snapped up in a hurry by some _pennant- starved club must qualify as the mystery of the week to many a baseball student. had it 49 to 41 for Gavilan with the Kid w.nning only the third, eighth and ninth and four rounds even. Judge Ed Hintz had Gavilan in front 52 to 38, winning the third, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth with three even. The other judg-., Jobn Bray, made it 51 to 39 for Gavilan with the Kid taking the third and from the fifth through the ninth with the first even. Gavilan collected approximately $85,000 for his 40 per cent slice of the announced net gate of $211,415 Davey got 20 per cent, or about $42,500. ‘There was considerable mystery about the TV payoff on the fight The sponsor had guaranteed a $200,000 net gate and was an- nounced as home clear. There were other reports the sponsor had to kick in from $50,000 to $100.090, but these were denied by the In- ternational Boxing Club. | Well, if you happen to be one of them, we'll tell you something— a majority of the men within the game whom we have heard discuss Rickey’s unique problem frankly doubt that he will be able to make a deal.
