EDDIE DUCAN BECOMES
FULL-FLEDGED TRAINER

NEW YORK, April 22.-Eddie
Dugan, who used to be one Of the
best Jockeys in America a decade
ago, is now full-fledged trainer.
After his return from Russia,
where he was informed during the
war, he returned to this country
and tried to come back as a
jockey. Reducing made him too
weak and he gave it up in disgust.
Last year he and friend bought
horse named BRUNEI. He raced
him at Miami and Bowie with, in
different success. Yesterday N. v.
Cochran a newcomer to racing,
engaged him to train his horses.
Among those he turned over to
the young trainer was John s.
Mosby.
Dugan will move from here next
week to Belmont Park. where he
will open a public stable. Cochran
said yesterday he was in the mar
ket for several high class platers.

Emmy Norton and Tony Plansky,'
duellists in athletic prowess, furnish
the gossips with choice arguments.
Emmy and Tony are rivals in the
celebrated decathalon. The intri-
cate system Of scoring in this
series of events is such that 1t
tends to give Norton a shade.
1t seems that points are counted
upon the 1000 point system. If
the athlete ties a score, he gets
1000 points. Deductions are made
from that score if the young man
fails to equal the mark.
Thus it is that Norton, who Will
be able to come pretty close to
four marks, is superior to Plansky,
who will not come so near to the
marks in the events he wins.
