Santa Anita Race Looks

NEW YORK. Feb. lit begins
4 Y to look as If Discovery, king of
the handicap HOSES, is not good
enough to give away more than 20
pounds to fairly tough opposition,
not at this time of the year, any
way.
You seem justified in making such
an assertion following the result OF
the San Antonio Handicap at Santa
Anita. Young A. @. Vanderbilt's
ace staggered home fifth, well-beat-
en- and a tired boss in the mile and
an eighth test.
Discovery tried to give % pounds
to Time Supply, one of the two
HOSES it was figured he had to beat,
and he couldn't do it. The other
boss was Azucar, reformed fencer,
and winner of the first running of
the 100000 Santa Anita Handicap
a year ago. Azucar, carrying lib

Paddle Ace Speaks

If you think table tennis is gain
ing quite popular home in this
country, you should see the way the
Europeans "go" for the game, says
Jimmy Mcclure.
Mcclure, a local youth, No.
ranking national player, described
the 1885 world paddle tourney held
in England, before Indiana Univer-
sity Club members at luncheon yes
terday. The matches attracted as
high as 1000 fans.
Mcclure and Joel Inman played
two demonstration games, which
the former won, Ellis and 21-19.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-02-11

covery in winning the san Antonio,
but the important consideration is
the heavily weighted Discovery
couldn't even make fight of 1t.
DISCOVERY will go into the
~ Santa Anita lighter weighted
than he was Saturday, but even SO
he will be giving away large hunks
of poundage to stern competitors.
Notable among these will be Hal
Headley's aply-named Whopper
Camera of the thoroughbreds. Dis
covery will be giving 20 pounds to
Whopper in the big money race
and the question is can he do 1t and
beat him2
Maybe he can, but Miami checkers
who have been scouting the big boss
say five will get you ten he can't
Whopper's workouts have been i'm
pressive. He has been breezing the
mile in 80 and in his last workout
before shipping to the Coast he
turned the mile and quarter IN
2:04 3-5 pulled up. If he ships well
and is not affected by the climate
he will be tougher to catch than a
blue nose marlin with a kite string
line.
He's a fit, fresh boss, and that
kind of boss is always dangerous IN
a February race. 1t may be profita-
BILE to keep in mind, too, that Dis
covery has neves been conspicuouSly
successful in the spring-and they
tell me this is spring, ira la la, in
the foothills of the Sierras, no mat
ter what the Florida newspapers
may say to the contrary.
TN the beginning the Santa Anita
4 ioomed as a two-hoss race be-
tween Discovery and Cavalcade.
Now it is beginning to shape up as
a fairly wide open thing, something
akin to say, Joe E. Brown yawn'
The weight assignments will give
Discovery a good solid chance, but
they shouldn't make him the odds
on favorite. Not after the race Time
Supply ran last Saturday, or the
way Whopper has been training.
Also Head Play and Top Row will
merit consideration if they come up
to the race fit bosses.
Cavalcades condition is still in
doubt. Two weeks remain in which
to bring the great 1884 champion
around. Whistling Bob Smith
knows more about bosses than Ben
Hur or Paul Revere did. He's an
expert, understanding trainer and
if Cavalcade isn't seriously cracked
up Whistling Bob will bring him
around. But it's no simple trick
to ready an uncertain boss in a
given length of time, so don't ex-
pect too much of Whistling Bob.
