CHALLED0N NAMED
HORSE OF YEAR

BALTIMORE, Dec. IL R 1t
wasn't only what he did, but the
way that he did it that apparently
made the nations turf writers
name Challedon as the first
thoroughbred to win the Horse OF
the Year" champion for two
years in a row.
The experts nominated William
L. Brann's stretch-running son OF
Challenger today by the con-
vincing margin of 1874 votes to "a
for Charlie Towards seabiscuit in
the Turf and Sports Digest's annual
poll, in which 172 turf writers cast
ballots.
Many pointed out that the class
of competition was definitely be-
low par on the turf in 1910, so
that big Pete's' performance was
not such a much. This is like say
ing Joe Louis wasn't a real heavy.
weight champion during the year
because no Jack Dempsey came
along to give him a real "rassle"
for his crown.
Challedon did just about every.
thing that was asked of him. He
was upset twice in seven outings
during the year, to be sure, but
in those two starts he was forced
to give away up to eight pounds
to two of the best gallopers ir
training at the time. While these

Brann's big bay came back tt
whip everything in sight as the
year ended.
The result was that where Wa
Admiral and Seabiscuit failed ir
recent years, Challenger's big boy
turned the trick as two-year boss
of the business. He won $70,6 2s
during the year, which doesn't look
like so much compared with the
$96, $50 Seabiscuit put in his pocket
But the Biscuit did it mostly
through the $100, 900 Santa Anita
handicap, which made him tn
leading money winner of all time,
and was all through after only
four trips to the post.

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. ll.-R-A
gang of Gloomy Girls wandered
around the golf course today, al
most unanimously pessimistic
about their chances of winning a
slice of the $40, 900 prize money in
the Miami open tournament start
ing tomorrow.
To hear them tell it there's hard
ly a man in the lot-and they're
the nations finest professionals
who can sink a two-foot putt.
1t has become a tradition, this
pre-tournament pessimism. Maybe
it's superstition. Perhaps it's the
eternal dissatisfaction with any
thing less than perfection. Rare
indeed is the golfer who will admit
he is at his peak.
HoW's your game?
Here are a few sample answers
to that i%nnocuous question as the
par-busting specialists clatter in
and out of the locker room:
Sam Snead: II couldn't hit the
ball with a bass fiddle" tSnead

TEAM RANKS End
World Baseball Champs Get
121 Points To Replace Yanks;
Stanford Is Third
BY BILL BONI

"||T
NEW YORK, Dec. 11-R-The
Cincinnati Reds, successors to the
Yankees as baseball's world cham
pions, inherited another former
Yankee property today when they
were voted the outstanding team
of the year.
Twenty-six out of 81 sports edi-
tors participating in the tenth an
nual Associated Press poll put the
Reds at the head of their list for
first winning their second straight
National league pennant and then
whipping the Detroit Tigers in the
World Series. In all, the Reds got
121 points, which are figured on a
basis of three for a first-place
vote, two for second and n for
third.
The Yankees, after leading for
four straight years, tailed to get
a point.
It was the ninth time that the
World Series winner topped the
poll. In the first year, 1881, the
experts selected Southern Californ.
las high-scoring football machine
for the honor,
Three of this seasons leading
elevens occupied the places direct
ly below the Reds. Minnesota's
Western conference champions,
with 81 points and eight first-place
votes, were %runners-up. Stanford,
which in one year moved from the
cellar to the title in the Pacific
Coast conference, placed third with
SO and eight, and the Texas Ag-
gies YER fourth with "a and seven.
Other sports represented were
rowing, pro football, pro and anna
teur hockey, pro and amateur bas-
ketball, golf. track, bobsledding
and polo.
The only ones to rate more than
three points were the University
of Washington oarsmen, who won
the annual four : mile rae at
Poughkeepsie; the Chicago Bears,
startling 1910 winners over tn e
Washington Redskins in the pro
football playoff; the New Y k
Rangers, who came through to vic
tory in the National Hockey
leagues orduous Stanley cup Sc.
ries, and the Indiana university
basketball team which won the N,
C.A.A. title.
Football, with n1ne college ano
pro teams, had the best represen
~tation. The Tigers, though beaten
by the Reds in he World Series,
were given sixth place for theil
surprising victory in the American

ARTNETTT0W WORK
ON GIANT HURLERS
Former Cub Pilot Also Had
$4,000 Offer From Sox Be-
fore Joining Giants
BY EARL HILLIGAN

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-R-Making
a few last "outs" as the major
league owners wound up their win
ter meetings today:
Gabby Hartnett may have gotten
the bounce as manager of the Chi
cago Cubs recently but one of the
reasons for his dismissal apparent
ly wasn't lack of ability in handling
young hurlers. Manager Bill
Terry of the New York Giants, who
signed old Gabby as player coach,
let it be known that Gabby will
be placed in complete charge of
all the young Giant Fingers.
Manager Joe Cronin of Boston's
Red Sox thought SO highly of Cab
by's experience that he offered
"Old Tomato Face" a $40, 900 con-
tract just before Gabby decided to
go to New York, where he'll be
plenty popular. :.
Florida fans won't see any ALL
Star game next spring, such as
was held last year at Tampa, the
major moguls voting against its
continuance today. . The reason
given was that all clubs could not
be represented, some of them
training elsewhere. The real
reason, however, is that the Ath-
letes r not in shape that early
and the chance of some $50, 900
star suffering a fractured leg is
too big a one to take.
