Mort Captures Fourth Strat R. K. Hutching’s Two-Year-Old Has Copped Six Of Seven Races R. K. Hutching’s two-year-old puppy, Mort, who is fast becoming the hottest canine at the Key West Ken- nel Club, won another one last night when he bested! Hazy Moon and Foolish in a stirring finish duel. A heavy favorite when he went to the post, the frisky pup needed everything he had to cop the win against a blue ribbon field. Time was 32.4 seconds. The win was the fourth straight for Mort and his sixth in seven races at the Kennel Club. He finished second to Withwin on Feb. 10, which marked the only time he did not come in at the head of the pack. Mort is getting plenty of action’ at the track when it was announced today that he will go to the post again on Monday night when he will be matched with some top competition including Julienne and Wilshire, both of whom have good blood and have shown some real speed in racing thus far in the meeting. The balance of the field will be made up of: Some Mix, Senor Sensation, Run Mike Run, Last Summer and Whispering Charlie. Fans are looking forward to this race with interest. Last night was marked by heavy payoffs at the track when the Daily Double, Exciting and Taxes Me returned a healthy 151.40. In the feature race, Mort paid 3.80, 3.60 and 2.60. Hazy Moon re- turned 9.20 and 3.20 while Foolish paid 2.40. The first race Quiniela paid a whopping 129.40. Post time tonight is 8:15 p. m.

Russ Meyer Says He'll Help The Dodger Cause By BEN OLAN Associated Press Sports Writer Major league huriers will get down to serious spring training business in a couple of days but so far the pitch is the usual “I’m gonna have a great year.” Russ Meyer, acquired by the Brooklyn Dodgers in a four-club, five-player transaction earlier this week, reported to the Brooks’ camp at Vero Beach, Fla., Thursday and promptly predicted he'd help the Dodgers gain their second straight National League pennant. “If I pitch the type of ball I did last season,” he said after signing his 1953 contra have a@ good chance of winning 20 games.” : Russ posted a mediocre 13-14 slate in 1952 with the Philadelphia Phillies but his record was dipped in hard luck. He lost six times by one run and in three other of his games the Phillies were blanked. Washington’s Bob Porterfield, another tough luck moundsman, declared at Orlando, Fla,, “I'm going to come up with a really big year and kill the idea that I'm jinxed.” onight's Entries|: (NOT POST POSITIONS) First Race — 5-16 mile Sixth Race — 5-16 mile Accidental Roose Goose Polka’s Fire Staver Lodi Lucky Teter Jenny Me Miss Spott Brody Second Race — 5-16 mile Scalpel Do Dat Whistling Lad Merry Polka - Tricia H Divine Devil Silent Profit Night Rider Third Race — Futurity Charlie Bender Respectful Slim McVey Islander Ramadan Linda Hill Refunder Little Lake Fourth Race — Futurity Holiday House Virgo Bridle Tke In Person Dian Hill Navelyn Fifth Race — 5-16 mile Honest Fax Luck Vandal Believe Me Foolish Jill Bridle Comer Speedy Girl Brash iz 4 g i er | Bs ih raz if =f l & re 4 : Fy e Fete’ Hl Hl i ? # r Erie! ¢ THE ONLY PLACE IN TOWN Where You Can Get A BIG, DELICIOUS SIGSBURGER A *Drool-Ghoul’’?
