Avenger Wins Easily In K Winning Pace Is Just One Second Off Track Record F. B. Stutz’ Avenger did it again last night when he captured his fifth win in feature action at the Key West Kennel Club over a Grade A field of thorough- breds. To cop the win, which he gained easily, he circled the 5/16 mile course in just 31.1 seconds — which is just one tenth of a second off the track mark which he already holds. Avenger gained the lead at the halfway mark after starting from the number three box and finished a good six lengths in the van. Spittin’ Image, in whom the fans had placed their faith and who started the race a favorite, met interference and finished eighth. Wilshite and Resonator, both of * whom put forth fine efforts, fin- ished second and third in that order, Avenger paid 6.60 to win, a whopping 17.40 to place and 4.00 to show, Wilshire returned 4.60 ry 6.40 while Resonator paid % , The Daily Double last night, = Authentic and In Person, returned 103.60 while the seventh race Quiniela paid 170.60. The favored Breezemont will go to the post tonight in the feature race at the Kennel Club as ac- | tion goes into its 47th night. This puppy, owned by Mrs. E. Z. Fer- rell, holds three impressive vic- tories in action thus far and should show well tonight. But he will be pressed hard by ®. B. Stutz, Pagoda, who _ holds three seconds in five starts and will be digging hard to. break the fee with a win. Bar-K, trained by R. M. C. Davis, will also be a contender, iaving won three of six starts. The balance of the field will be made up of Fire Hazard, Honest Buddy, Foot Hill, Last Summer and Reckoning. Post time tonight is 8:15 p.m. Sports Roundup By GAYL@ TALBOT PHEONIX, Ariz. W—At least one Pacific Coast League _ owner - is convinced his circuit has made definite progress toward eventual big league status in the year since it obtained an “open” classification and was given a means of pro- tecting its promising young players from the draft. ““I'm a realist,” declared the energetic Brick Laws of Oakland. “I know we can't go big league immediately. But we, will gradu- ally build, especially with boys from the Coast who have no real desire to go East and would pre- fer to stay near their homes, other things being equal.” Laws, in support of his belief, disclosed that only one member of this year's Oakland squad de- clined to sign a contract which would exempt him from the next major league draft. “I was surprised,” he said, “but maybe I had a good selling point. In the case of the young players I think I convinced them they would be better off playing three full years here and then, when they're ready, being sold to a big league team for $50,000 than being drafted right off for $10,000 and then being farmed out. “Certainly I intend to go on sell- ing to the big leagues, just the same as they sell to each other. But I want to be able to keep the nucleus of a strong team for Reng POOR ee mapa the benefit of my fans instead of being stripped every year by the draft.” It was a bitter experience of laws which led to the Coast League sioner Ford Frick, the clause through which it can protect its youngsters for three years, He bought an outfielder, George Metkovich, for $25,000 and | then saw him snapped up by Pitts- | burgh for $10,000 in the next draft “Now that I have protection I can afford to buy such « player.” | Laws said. “In fact, 1 paid the New York Giants a very good price for outfielder Bill Howerton, whom I expect to be a real batting star for me. I am even helping him build a house. He's getting @ good salary, he's happy and he ! says he never wants to go back » the big league.

Subscribe to The Citizen What Is An Amateur? By WILL GRIMSLEY NEW YORK ® — What is an amateur? He’s a tennis player who. can accept $15 a day for expenses. But {for a meal he’s a pro. He’s a golfer who must pay his own tournament freight: at all times except in rare instances when he’s playing for Uncle Sam on the Walker Cup team or in an intercollegiate meet for his college. He's a trapshooter who can ac- cept an unlimited cash prize as an he’s a professional. be equipped with a half - dozen racquets and a drawer full of | strings--all for free--by a sporting goods firm. But if he. does the same as a golfer the USGA throws |him out on his 2ar. He’s a track man who can’t spend more than. $10 a day for room and board put if he happens to be adept at hitting a tennis ball jhe can go $5 higher, | By our puzzling modern stand- ards, court men who wear white Pants are supposed to have greater appetites than their thin-clad con- temporaries who run and jump over things. An amateur is a crack football scholarship plus a grant-in-aid -- side money for books and board-- without jeopardizing his simon - pure standing. Track men can take scholarships, too, without incurring anybody's ire but just let a golfer or tennis player try it and—boom-he auto- matically becomes a professional. An amateur is a tennis player who can travel around the lush play spots of the world on an unending expense account but, if he tries it in golf, he gets the back of the USGA’s hand. | The inconsistency of America’s | amateur code was emphasized this week when Billy Maxwell, 1951 National Amateur champion, and seven members of the North Texas State College golf team at Denton, {Tex., were. stripped of their ama- teur standing-some for taking ex- ;Pense money for a venture to ; Mexico City, others for accepting | fees for teaching fellow students.
