The other has to do with 19-year-old
John Buddy Lewis, who stands a
chance of becoming not only the
Mats third baseman, but the youngest
player ever to play regularly for a
modern Washington club.
The preseason installation of these
youngsters in the infield, however tenn
porary, undoubtedly will set new

only, for he will take over this new
post without ever having shown there.
Lewis, except for a brief stretch last

tually is an unknown" to the Nat
chieftains as far as their own judg-
ment is concerned.
Travis and Lewis, however, by no

Record Mutuel Handle.

THE mutuel handle for the after
noon was $1,246.42s. which is
100000 more than went through the
totalisator here last year On the
Santa Anita Handicap alone. the
wagering aggregated $350,083, an in
crease over last year Of s111.000.
That's real money in any language,
particularly in country where adjec-
tives too often are just that.
Speaking of the crowd, when the
gates opened at 9 am, there already
was large delegation on hand, many
of them bringing their lunches to eat
in the infield banked by the Sierra
Madres. BY pm, when the first
race was run, there we're $4,000 on
hand and they were still coming.
To show how the wagering reached
a tremendous crescendo. in the big
race, there was $4,000 bet on the
first race. This was only drop in
the bucket, as it turned out. for by
the time the sixth race-the big one
had been reached, the total handle
was s633,674.
With the mountaineering total
wagered on the Santa Anita, it was
obvious that yesterdays optimistic
estimates of a 100000 handle tor
the day were far too conservative.
