REAL REASON TITLEROLDER SEEKS MATCH WITH BRITTON Present Lightweight King Not Anxious to Hold Two fities, but Is Grooming His Brother Joey to Succeed Him in Lighter Class if He Wins Welter Crown.

Right there Benny decided that if Joey wanted to become a professional boxer he'd back him to the limit. From that day on Benny taught Joey all the “inside stuff” that makes a champion -the ring strategy that Benny had learned in a hundred hard battles. To-day Benny believes that Joey can beat any man in the lightweight division except the champion himself. “He's going to be a faster boxer than I ever was, and « harder hitter: Benny declares.

With $100,000 Colt Snob II. And $25,000 Rider Lang Cosden Seems Well Fixed Baltimorean Striving for the Best Should Cut Figure on Turf Now. By Vincent Treanor. S. COSDEN must be given J credit for trying anyhow, Com- * paratively a newcomer to the ranks of owners, the Baltimore sports- man {s at present spending money for the best there ds in a racing way, and after none too encouraging ex- periences so far, Only recently he bid big for the services of “Chick” Lang, the jockey wonder of the winter tracks’ developments, getting his contract for a price said to be $25,000, Nearly every big establish- ment on the turf was after the young- ster, and yesterday at Belmont Park Mr. Cosden completed negotiations for the purchase of Snob, regarded as a real rival of the unbeaten Mor- vich. He now has a supposedly great horse and the best there is in the jockey line. While the actual sale price in such transactions is rarely made public, It is understood that the Baltimorean parted with something like $100,000 for the three-year-old. That’s gam- bling with u capital G. ) Snob II has run only once this sea- son and then in the Stuyvesant Handicap in Jamaica in the mud. He won the race in a manner to stamp him as a colt above the ordinary. From a bad break he raced ten lengths back of the leaders to the front in an eighth of a mile, and then came on to a galloping victory. Before he had cooled out that day Mr. Cosden made a point-blank offer of $60,000 for the colt, which had to be refused, because his trainer, Holly Hughes, had no authority to sell him, Snob II's owner, John Sanford, was in Europe, and still is, 80 it was nec- essary to consult him in the matter, This was done by cable, Mr. Cosden Meanwhile getting an option on the colt, Owner Sanford recently replied to the cable, and it is sald he didn't want to sell the colt unless some one wanted him badly enough to pay $100,000 for him. Evidently Mr. Cos- den met that figure, Snob IT Is in the historic Withers, run May 8, and also in the $50,000 Belmont Stakes, which 1s scheduled for June 10, Un- fortunately Morvich was not nom!- nated for either event. Snob II. is out of the American mare May Dorn by Isidor. Prestigo was not beaten during his racing career and his son, Sardanaple, also had a clean record. Thomas Walsh, who fs a good Judge of a race horse, once said that Sardanaple, which he saw race in France, was the Dest horse that he had seen under silks, a view he maintained until Man O' War ran im the Realization, As Isidor is a son of Amphion, the sire of Sund- ridge, the daddy of Sunstar, and is out of the Bend or dam Isis, and she in turn was out of the Derby winner, Shotover, by Hermit, Snob If. has a right to be a great horse. Crochet |s either # champion morn- ing glory or she needs racing to bring out her true worth. It isn’t likely that so experienced a trainer as Billy Garth could be so far wrong in his estimation of the well-bred filly. She has started twice now and quit badly each time after Garth had praised her to the skies. Previous to the Friar Rock yesterday Garth expressed the opinion that there were a few two- year-olds in training that could run faster than Crochet and because of his extraordinary confidence tn her ability she was made the favorite over Canajue. Good judges accepted Garth's judg- ment of the filly to thelr dismay, As im her previous start Crochet had not THROW—Muller and aster. the slightest excuse.

Clarence Kummer has finally begun to win raes after every one had begun to figure that he had gone back as a rider. He got Frigate home by one of his old-time rides, and as if to show that was no accident, came right back with his old pal, Audacious. The talent may once again take Clarence seriously. Maxey Hirsch evidently has a nice high-class plater in Finality. He won his second race in succession yeater- day very handily under a good ride by Marinelli. Avispa was @ hot tip in this same event, but evidently she wants a longer route, whereas Master Hand also in the same race probably prefers six furlongs. Jimmy Butwell and Waiter House used to be a winning combination in the days not so long ago. The victory of Victor S, in the last race yesterday may mean a continuance of affluence for Walter, Butwell made Victor & run from the drop of the hat instead of beginning slowly as he has dono under Eddie Taplin in his previous starts.
