NOTED TEXAS
NAG RETURNS
My Dandy Grand Fighter,
10 TO Race In Meet
AT San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. l5.-tPl-
Several hundred horses are uuar-
tered at Alamo Downs, waiting for
the winter meeting which starts
Christmas day and continues
through February 2. Among the
horses Is My Dandy. who arrived
Monday. He looked over his stall
gate into Texas territory, blinked
his one good eve once or twice and
quietly turned TO munching hay.
Texas thinks pretty well OF NV
Dandy. Six years ago this favorite
son OF Porte Drapeau-Sceptre and
Staff left the home and board OF
DR.. I. 3 Clark OF Texas 70 seek
his turf fortune on major tracks.
He wasn't very highly regarded Just
then, however. In fact. some said
he was skinny in size and not
worth much Shucks as a racer.
But My Dandy made EN- eat
their words. He won nine consecu-
tive races around Chicago as a g.
year-old. He came back In his fourth
year TO give his rivals a real run
ming lesson in the $4,000 Haw-
thorne Handicap. His career ls
studded with stake victories and
shining with the glow Of courage.
No use telling his story again.
Everyone knows how he caught
shipping fever: lost an eye: broke
down: crashed through a fence in
a workout. Men and women OF the
turf world know that My Dandy
vas thrice condemned TO death by
veterinarians. only TO return TO
greater fame.
The glamorous thing about II all
was his homecoming Monday. He
has returned 10 the city near which
he was born Q years ago. Through
out the country he has carried the
fame OF Texas as a breeding strong
hold. So NY Dandy must have felt
pretty good as he walked into his
stall az Alamo Downs for the WIN
ter meeting. He must have resolved
way down deep. to give the home
folks a real exhibition OF speed IN
the handicsps which he will be
entered.

FIELD GOAL BY
 MANDERS WINS FOR CHICAGO Il.
Bears Score 10 Points in Final Period for l0=9
 Victory Over Giants
(By United Press)

Ch1cagO'S Bears and Detroit s Lions remain tied for the western division lead in the National Pro- fessional Football League after one of the most spectacular games ever played in the circuit. The Bears won it from the New York Giants.
 Detroit experienced little diff1- culty yesterday in keeping pace for the lead by trimming St Louis. 40 to z. Meanwhile, the Bears were backed against the wall, pulling out only by scoring 10 points in the final quarter to beat the Giants. 10 to g. A crowd of more than 45.- 000-the largest since 1925 to see a league game, watched.
 Ken Strong scored a touchdown and kicked the point for the Giants early in the second period. A safe- ty in the third gave them two more points.
 On The Go
 But at the opening of the fourth period Beattie Feathers finished a 47-yard Chicago march by. scoring around end and Manders kicked the point. With less than minute left, Manders added field goal from the 2S-yard line.
 The victory kept the Bears in the thick of the race, and cut 8 full game off the Giatns' lead in the eastern division. Boston, in second place, beat Philadelphia, 14-7, and trails now by only one game.
 The Chicago Cardinals beat the Green Bay Packers, go, and Brooklyn trimmed Pittsburgh 1O-0 in other games.
