Late that night Sharlene

that If he wanted his swim he

LOCAL TRAINER
DEVELOPED
AZUCAR

Washington had an interest in
the victory Of Azucar in the $100,.
900 handicap at Santa Anita Sat-
urday, for it was T. j. Thomas,
prominent trainer, now residing
at Cathedral Mansions, who devel-
oped the Irish-bred horse as
jumper.
After winning the London Gold
Cup, Azucar was purchased by
Joseph E. Widener, noted horse
man, and shipped to America
where he was turned over to Mr..
Donohue, popularity known as Tim
on the race courese, who was then
in charge of all the steeplechase
horses in the Widener barn.
Shipped to the States, Azucar
was found to be underweight when
he arrived at Elkins Park, Pa, near
Philadelphia, where Mr.. Widener
had his elaborate racing stables.
In the barn Tim had under his
charge such famous jumpers as
Arc Light, Mccarthy and Indigo,
all of whom are known to local
racing fans, having won races at
Laurel and Pimlico.
Works With Jumpers
Tim worked the champ with
tried and true jumpers and then
took him to Belmont Park for his
first try in q race. He galloped
him in his first start. For a
breather on the flat one morning
at Belmont, Tim clocked him at
mile and a quarter in 2:05. He
won Saturday in 2:02 is.
To his listeners, Tim said:
That horse can run. He can
trim anything around here on
the flat or over the jumps
Tim, who has handled some
fast horses during his career Che
trained Dignus which set the six
furlong mark at Pimlico, Star
Queen which set record at Mar
ragansett and others, had Azu-
car as his favorite horse in his
barn. Then Mr.. Widener decided
to abandon his steeplechase sta
bleS. He sold every horse but
Arc Light, to which he had Senti.
mental attachments. Azucar went
to Frank Alger, jr., for $4,000.
Won At Laurel
Then came the Maryland meet
1ngS. Azucar was turned loose on
the first. So what? The gelded
son of MieSius- Clarice won the
Washington Handicap at Laurel
and went on to win other Mary
land stakes.
With Cava lcade, Equipoise,
Twenty Grand and many other
topnotch horses, Azucar was
nominated for the Santa Anita
Handicap. The result you we'll
know.
Mr.. Alger, jr., owner Of the
horse was probably at the track
to see his horse win.
In an apartment at Cathedral
Mansions sat Tim Donohue, listen
ing to Clem Mccarthy, famous
racing reporter, as he broadcast
the race. The result was flashed.
Azucar won.
Tim commented with a broad
smile:
'T'm not going to say I told
you so, I knew he was q good
horse"

Among the rockies who

lico right-hander is here, and
says his arm feels stronger than
it did last year. The boy has
filled out considerably in the
year and maybe he's right.
Dick Lanahan, the left-hander
of the Sandlots of Washington,
is around, and the kid has stuff.
He is big enough to make a
pitcher, but stuff and physique
are not the only requisites to
major league success. Expert
ence helps no little.

Stripped Of two malnstays, Ivan NedOmat-

FOUNDER, when these two came out of the
Southern Conference championships with
broken hands, Coach Jack Harmony is as de-
jected as boy who learns for the first time
that Santa Claus is myth.
Coach Harmony and his boxing squad had
aspired to finish the 1885 season undefeated
and, though this appears remote with Nedo-
matsky and McAboy on the sidelines, there re-
mains faint ray of hope that Marylands s am
bition will be realized
Harmony must rearrange his squad to OBJ

| worries.
This year Babcock was displaced
by Nedomatsky but continued to
be member of the squad until
two weeks ago when he was taken
down with the FLU" His illness
might have taken too much out of
him to be of any service, in which
case Walter Webb, 145-pounder,
will be assigned Nedomatsky's for
mer role.
Problems Beset Harmony
Then Harmony will have to un-
cover a candidate for the 145-
pound spot and this seems choice
between Morty Schwartz and Jay
Jones.
Even at that, Harmony'S prob
lens wouldn't be solved. Somebody
must go to bat for McAboy and
that person might be Mike Lom-
bardo. This would mean that Stew
McCaw, who successfully defended
his 175-pound Southern Confer
ence crown, would be dropped to
the 165-pound division; Johnny
Gormley used as the light-heavy-
weight and AL Farrell as heavy
weight.
In event Babcock can return to
shape, Harmony's troubles will be
eaSed. Babcock will get the 1885,
pound appointment and Webb
will remain in the 145-pound spot.
Saddened by Mishaps
Gratified with their second
place tie with Duke, the Old Lin
ers were saddened by the mishaps
which befell Nedomatsky and Nc
Aboy. NedomatSky broke his right
hand in the second round of the
lightweight final with Jack
Kneipp of Duke. He used only
his left in the third round in
which he kayoed the Blue Devil
boxer.
McAboy broke his left hand in
the first round of the semifinal
155-pound bout with Hilton Of
South Carolina. Concealing his
injury from Coach Harmony by
pleading with the seconds not to
mention it, McAboy fought the
last two rounds one.handed, yet
managed to get the decision.
FOrfeits In Final
After the fight, Harmony
learned of McAboy's true condi-
ton and a medical examination
showed the hand was fractured.
Naturally, McAboy was forced to
forfeit to AL Mann, of Duke, in
the final.
Speaking of the championships,
Harmony says:
"Of course, I was elated with
the showing Of our team, but
even had we won the champion
ship I doubt if it would have
been worth the sacrifice Of Ivan
Nedomatsky and Lyman Nc
AbOy. We wanted to go through
the season undefeated, after
holding Virginia to a draw. Now
that prospect has been dimmed
by the loss of Nedomatsky and
McAbOy.
