Rosenont Tops
Handicap
By LOU BINDIAN,
International News Service Sports
Writer


NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-with
some Of the stoutest eligibles for
the Santa Anita Handicap, includ-
ing the favored Foxcatcher Farm
horse, RoSelnont, in the field, to-
days running of the $500 added
money San Antonio Handicap at
Santa Anita, Cal, takes on major
Importance.
This is scheduled to be Rose
mont's first preparation test and
will serve to indicate whether the
favoritism repoSed in him is worth
while. Under top, weight of 1872
pounds for the mile-and-an-eighth
route, Rosemont is coupled with
the stretch-running filly, Gold
Seeker, and the pair is pitted
against such crack performers as
Sea Biscuit, Mr.. Bones, Box Thorn,
Accolade and Major Austin C..
Taylor's couple of Indian Broom
and Special Agent. Altogether, II
horses appear on the overnight
list.
Seat Biscuit Threat
Sea Biscuit, star of California
racing, is regarded one of the
ranking prospects for the impend-
ing 100000 classic and a win for
him today will further strengthen
his already imposing position.
Track record busters are aligned
against each other in the Nc
Lehman Memorial Handicap, a
mile and an eighth number which
features the bill at Hialeah PARK,
Fla, and which will serve as a
conditioner for the forthcoming
$4,000 Widener Challenge Cup.
Finance, which has been burning
up the Florida strip, is coupled
with three others today-Flora-
dora, Chasar and TWO Bob-in the
Joint interests of Mrs. Emil Dene-
mark and Elmer Dale Shaffer. Hal
Price Headley's Whopper, dis
appointment since winning the
Hialeah Inaugural in track record
time, will attempt to make amends
under high weight of 120 pounds.
The others in the classy field are
Azucar, White Cock, de, Black
birder, Count Morse, Maeriel,
Brush Hook, Columbiana, Remind
ing, Gyral, and Old Comrade.
New Orleans Feature
A handicap of six furlongs, sixth
on the card, is the feature offering
at the New Orleans Fair Grounds.
Nine good sprinters are slated for
the romp in what appears to be an
open contest. Miss Ginbar, which
won her last, might be able to
make it two in row against On
Rush, Determined, Toby Tyler,
Compensatory, the C. Trout pair
of Hueu and Hastinola, and the
Hernandez team of Combahee and
Marcabala.
Alamo Downs, Tex, also has a
handicap billed. This number,
sixth on the program, is over a
mile and 10 yards with the recent
winner, Up And Up, shouldering
top burden of 118 pounds. Ever
gold, erStwhile stake performer, is
a dangerous rival under Ill, while
Carl B., Fair Sickle and Corum
compose the balance of the small
field.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-A field
of champions goes to the post in
the Baxter mile-piece de resist
ance of the New York Athletic
Club games in Madison Square
Garden tonight.
Glenn Cunningham, now Wall
Streeter, is expected to win the
event but he admits he may have
to come close to his own world
record figures to succeed.
The man eileen fears most is
Luigi Beccali - former Olympic
champion, but Glenn also has a
wholesome respect for MikloS
Szabo, the Hungarian champion,
his perennial shadow, Gene Venzke
and Archie San Romani who
firmly believes he can take the
world record holder.
Beccali has been working out
steadily for weeks while studying
American road construction works.
He has refused to start a race un-
til he felt absolutely sure he could
make a fine showing for, as he
told a friend the other day, If
I should make a poor showing
Papa Mussolini is liable to give me
chance to study road building
at home with a pick and shovel" "

Novak, a sophomore, is much
than tall youth whose height
alone would sufficiently qualify
him for a position on most college
teams. He is, with his great reach,
q fine all-around basketball player,
ranking second in his teams scor-
ing column with 95 points in IL
games and standing out as a bull
wark on defense. His reach is so
great (when standing under the
basket with hands extended over
head his fingers are only 13 inches
from the RIM he is capable of stop
ping many potential enemy baskets
simply by intercepting the ball be-
fore it hits the rim.
Fine Record
An examination of records seems
to show that Novak is the main diff
ference between Loyola of last year
and the Rambler quint of this sea-
son. Without Novak's services last
year when the freshman rule
barred him, Loyola won only half
of its 16 games, but so far this
winter the RamblerS have cap
tured II out of IL decisions and
are hailed as one Of the strongest
teams in the midwest.
Loyola until two weeks ago was
the only undefeated major uni
verSity in the Midwest. Chicago
inflicted the only defeat in what
Chicago newspapermen termed a
distinct upset. Previously Coach
Lennie Sachs tall toSserS had
beaten Indiana, $3.50; Nebraska.
53-35; Kansas State, 44-22, and
st. Louis, 47-21, among others.
Indiana is defending Big Ten Con-
ference cochampion and con-
queror of Villanova, Butler and
Manhattan. Nebraska, also de-
feated by George Washington
earlier in the season, has beaten
Ohio State and Minnesota. Kan
sas State also downed the
Gophers.
BrusilOff's Band
In its first IL games Loyola
has maintained an average score
of 42.5 to 27.5. scoring the most
points for a like number of games

Fred Steele Toys
With Risko
In Bout
By DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Feb. 2o.-1n the
midst of absolutely unbridled
apathy, Freddie Steele, of Ta-
coma, Wash, retained the world,
middleweight championship by
punching Babe Risko, ex-charn-
pion from Syracuse, N. Y, full
of holes for Is rounds at Madison
Square Garden last night. How.
ever, the story of the fight was
not so much what happened, but
what didn't.
At the last minute the people
remained absent in very marked
manner, with the result that the
gross receipts Of $4,000 probably
established an all-time low for
championship fights hereabouts.
The house management claimed
a crowd of 1000, but 1t looked
more like 5000.
Risko claimed nothing, neither
the decision nor dollar at the
end. In fact, he became the first
prize fighter on record to do Is
rounds for charity-minus sum
of $4,000 he was supposed to owe
Steele when the usual payoff had
to be indefinitely postponed owing
to-well, let's just call it owing.
The Babe, briefly, paid Steele
5000 some time ago and was to
come through with another $4,000
out of last nights net receipts, Of
which he himself contracted to ac-
cept so per cent. This probably
amounted to less than $1,000
and it was assumed that Steele
took that.

administration, or close to It. There
is evidence they have been heard by
Mr.. Roosevelt. But there is no con-
vincing evidence that Mr.. Roosevelt
will take this course
On the contrary. the stronger sevi-
dence points toward still more stills.
1t is proposed that the coming Con-
gress should put a further silt under
wages, in the form of q so-called
minimum wage and "maximum
hours" bill-which actually would do
much more than the title of the bill
implies. 1t is proposed that new stills
should be put under the prices Of some
crops. This is proposed in the face
of the collapse that has just taken
place in the long attempt of the Bra
lillian government to keep the price
of coffee artificially high.
Flood Of Propaganda.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and
his publicity men are constantly flood.
ing the farmers Of America with prop
aganda, both communications designed
to be read by the farmers and COM
munications to the farmers by the
spoken words of the tens of thou
sands of A. A. A. agents. in the field.
II Mr.. Wallace, who in some respects
is an open-minded person, we're will
ing to accept an outsiders suggestion,
he might have his able press assistants
write out very careful, simple, easily
understandable account OF the collapse
OF the Brazilian experiment with
coffee, and put it before the eyes OF
every farmer in America.
About the American situation. rs A
whole, 1t will be no distortion OF the
Biblical precept to say that q house
built on stills cannot permanently
stand. To manage q slow and orderly
reduction in the heights Of our stills
ought not to be difficult. In every area
OF the affairs Of a country or an or
ganization, or in the private concerns
OF an individual, there are times when
retreat is advantageous, and other
times when retreat is unacceptable.
For this reason the conduct OF orderly
retreat is one of the most indispens-
able arts OF successful living.
Yet let us admit that retreat from
high prices, however wholesome ulti-
mately. would be temporarily unpopu-
lar. The characteristic American psy-
chology likes the spectacle Of rising
prices. Nationally We think in terms
OF the price we can sell at, rather than
the price We can buy at. The man is
rare who can realize that an income
OF $4,000 a year may be as remunera-
tive as an income Of s2,500 a year. pro-
Vided the prices Of what he buys have
gone down in proportion. II all the
carpenters. bricklayers, masons and
plasterers in America could be assured
OF that. the country might proceed at
once to the erection of the six million
homes which the country needs. and
the erection Of which would start the
country on an upward spiral of pros
perity, based on a solid foundation.
A buyers strike" against the high cost
OF houses is perhaps the principal one
cause Of the present recession in busi-
ness.
