'SEADISCUIT TO
 !. STUD OWNER OF STAR DECIDES
Only Four Racers Given Chance to Pass Money
 Mark of Howard Horse
BY ED CoNKLrN

United Press Staff Corresponaent Arcadia, Cal, March i2.-(UP)- Seabiscuit quit the turf today to spend the rest of his life far from the race tracks on which other horses will pursue his records for many years to come.
 The doughty little veteran who climaxed a fabulous career by SID. planting Sun Beau as the greatest money winner in history will be shipped late this week to the Charles s. Howard ranch near Ukiah, Cal, where he will perpetu- ate his strain.
 "A champion should retire while he still is the champion" Howard explained. He is in better condition now than at any other time in his great career, but he has earned a rest.
 we wouldn't want to see him beaten, now that he is the king. So now is the proper time to send him to stud at Ridgewood ranch. That IS where he made his comeback after being forced on the shelf with an injured ankle ligament a year ago, and that is where he will remain for the rest of his days" Seabiscuit retires as the winner of $437, ,730-.or almost $60,O0O more than w. s. Kilmer's Sun Beau, who won $376,744 and held the record for nine years. He will go also as the. conqueror of almost every great horse of his generation and the holder of 12 track records from Sam ta Anita to Suffolk Downs.
 Howard indicated that the choice between retirement and another year of racing had been a hard one. Anti Climax
 "We worked Seabiscuit Saturday before the San Juan Capistrano handicap at Santa Anita Park and he proved himself in top conditicn," He said. "But trainer Tom Smith and I decided that while the horse was perfectly capable of continuing, anything he might do after winning the recent Santa Anita Handicap would be an arlti-climax. That would go for the coming Hollywood gold cup, the Dixie Handicap or anything else." s :, Seabiscuit spent more of 1889 at Ridgewood ranch recovering from his ankle injury. He was placed at stud and has five of Towards mares in foal. He will stand at Ridgewood as California's most famous thor oughbred, although his ultimate position in turf records won't be known until his offspring go up to the races beginning in 1942. The first of his foals. by fair knightess, is expected in the middle of May.
 Only four horses now alive are given a chance of passing Seabis- cults new mark of $437,730. They are W. L. Brann's Challedon, q three-year-old who has won 4$252,- 235; Maxwell Towards Stagehand, 8 five-year-old who has won $200,l ,ll0 but now is out of training: Col. E. R. Bradley's Bimelech, 8 two-year- old who has won $135 .090: and the Biscuits stablemate, Kayak IT, a five-year-old who has won $199,056,

irksome, too. Always say the same tlling-'It will be'a close battle, hard fought all the way but I believe the National League will assert its su- periority.' Durn it, men of the Na- tional, start asserting"
 Opportunity
 The men of the National couldn't choose better time to start assert ing than in Tampa on Sunday. Vic- tory would lift their morale and send them oil in 8 fight for the pen- nant with 8 feeling that If they should win it, they might go on to lick the American League--pardon, the New York Yankees = in the series next October.
 But the Nationals won't win. Pitching power, poise and coiaf1- dence still are the chief ingredients of baseball success and the Amer ican League has the edg in all four items. At least I think so, and my opinion cannot be held lightly. After all, I picked the Yankees to win the world series last year, and that's better than Bill MclSeci1nie or Ford Prick could do.

delight and high enthusiasm. The line
of march beginning at 18th and Chest
nut Streets was up Market Street to
Ewing, thence to Paige and Vande-

stand held hundreds of notables. The
procession was led by a phalanx of
mounted city police, a motor cycle es-

BAPTISES

Several hundred members of Christ
Temple and some from other Boston
churches gathered at Mashpee Labor
Day for the Church outing and bap-
Using annually held by the Boosting
Jesus Group, Inc, under the direction
of Evangelist W. Frederick Fisher and
his international gospel party.
Present also were contingents from
Providence, New Bedford, from the
various summer colonies on the Cape,
besides a number of Mashpee resi-
dents. By far the largest crowd came
from Boston and suburbs.
Seven bus loads and more than a
dozen private cars brought members
and friends from Christ Temple, Bos-
ton. The unexpected turnout delayed
the outing. Not enough buses had been
provided. A hurried order for extra
buses met with difficulty because of
the holiday demand; and it was well
on toward noon when the last bus load
got under way for Mashpee.
The Boston church members carried
souvenir banners emblazoned with a
white-bordered red cross on a blue
background and bearing the name of

They make the following appeal to
Ward voters:
Many people have been telling
themselves that the primary election

these people are wrong. To the peo-
pie of Ward Nine, that is matter of
vital concern for one of the two men
