The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-12-22

Los Angeles, Dec. 22 = CUP1 = AS far as I can remember (about as far as I can pull the Broadway limited through snow storm with my teeth) Horatio Alger, Jr,, never wrote story about a horse. But if he had, I'll bet my new western drawl against a fourth edition of Sink or Swim" that I could name his hero.
 There would be only one choice Seabiscuit.
 Alger would have loved the fat rumped Howard Hurricane, for the story of Seabiscuit is a rags to riches tale in the raw. The Biscuit had everything in common with the Alger characters. He came up the hard way, out of the ranks of the cast-offs, to humble the blue -bloods of his world.
 He was hard luck horse and every possible obstacle has always been in his path. Had he been as richly endowed as Jimmie Durante or the neighborhood gossip. he would now be the biggest money winner ever bred. But he wasn't so he isn't, Twice he missed the $l00,000 jackpot of the Santa Anita Handicap by the margin of a snuh- bed Irish nose-so he still lacks $S5 ,000 of Sun Beau'S $376,744 mark.
 Not until last year. however, did one of those obstacles stop him. trying a third time for the Santa Anita, he snapped an ankle liga- ment. Even the veterinarians thought he was finished then and they sent him into his stall for . vacation that was expected to be- come permanent retirement.
 Ready To Run
 But no wthe Howard Stable is ready to roll the barrel-bodied one out for a final golden gallop in the sixth Snata Anita next March 2. And had Alger been present in the racing secretary's office when weights were assigned for that race he would have rubbed his hands in satisfaction. One of his boys had made good again.
 The secretary, Webb Everett, had truly tough task with those weights. There was Challendon. 1889 Horse of the Year, top money winner and conqueror of everytL ing in the east. There was Kayak II. winner of the Santa Anita last year and the festest horse ever exported from South America, There were Sun Lover, Specify, Whichcee, Can't Wait, Dauber and many other good ones.
 Finally there was the Biscuit, Seven years old, knees wobbly and ankles weak, Seabiscuit has been on parole since February, He ran only once this year and his condition is questionable. He may not even come through his first hard drive with his bones solid and his fragments intact. But everyone knows as long as he has four legs-crippled or sound-hell be in there running.
 That knowledge was enough for Everett, and here is how he as- signed the weights;
 Seabiscuit lSo; Kayak II i2s; Challedon l28.
 No horse can carry more than 1St in the Santa Anita, so Biscuit got the works. Each extra pound oi lead means @ length in race @ mile and Q quarter long, so top weight

was the greatest tribute any racing secretary could pay any great han- dicap horse. Kayak II and Cnal~ ledon drew equal weight for age, but the Biscuit ranked them Q fuls pound better.
 Now the horse must carry his load. He has handled lS0 pounds before and come home breeding. But he is getting along in years as horses go and although his first workout was Q good one there are Q heap more workouts ahead before h eever reaches the silver gate for his final run,
 For an ordinary horse, 1t would be asking too much. But like all good Alger horses, Seabiscuit may have been down three times - he has never been counted out.

Here am again folks, bring Ing you the news of the Abrig- adors. Well I see that the basketball team Is going great this year, So far they have won Ave straight victories and will be pulling for their sixth and seventh this coming Saturday, when they face the Naugatuek speedboys and then the St. Mary's from Torrington. Murphy, Mullaly and Quane have done most of the scoring while Lombardo, Cavalier and Wrenn have been going great In their defensive work.
 Whats this we hear of a fued oe- tween Cranky" Joe Sugure and Hombre" Donnelly7 Both boys are arguing about which player is the best. Cranky says Keller of the Yankees Is e better ball player than Joe Gallagher of the Browns but Donnelly thinks different. "Hombre' says that Gallagher hits Q longer ball than Keller and drives in more runs, but Cranky" says that Keller hits in the clutch and has e better throwing arm than Gallagher. In my opinion. Donnelly Is right for Gallagher has the better arm and when runs are needed Gallagher is the boy to bat them in.
 Captain Caffrey of the Wells "B" team iS having a great season this year. In two games to date Cafirey has scored 2i points. Caffrey has his team working out each day and with the help of James Fusco who also has scored i4 points in two games is ready to challenge any team ln the club league. Coach Lom- bardi of the Abrigadors may havo Caffrey in the lineup this coming Saturday when his team tangies with Torrington. Lombardi says that Caffrey has improved greatly and he will get his chance to play with the Abrigadors. Here's hoping you break into the Abrigador lineup, Caffrey.
 Dick Murphy's dog "Tootsie Is considered the best dog in the neigh. borhoed, "roots" Is always ready to help out any of the team when they are In danger. If someone tells him to stand up he does and he always gives his paw to anyone who asks him. He has q liking to T. Quano. Every time Quane iS around the dog knows that he will get something to cat. usually candy. This sure is q smart dog, Many ef tho boys would like 10 have dog like him especial ly Joe Mullaly, Joe owns an old COW who does nothing but eat. sleep and growl when anyone comes near him. I say on old COW because Joes dog iS nothing more than an old COW because of his actions Boy I bet you wish you had dog like Murphy has, Joel

 Little Sixto Escobar resigned as bantamweight champion because Of weight-making difficulties. and N. D.

Pace and 9alica are matched for Los An. gcles next month to settle the dis- pute. Pete Kane Of England re. signed the fyweisht crown in May, and that title is still undetermined.
 Investigations were launched by the Illinois and New York commits sions after the Chicago Tribune published e purportcd confession by Harry Thomas, Minnesota heavy weight. that he had "thown' . fight to Max echmeling ct New York in '37 and one to Tony dalento at Philadelphia.
