ArchibaId-Jeffra Go
To Be Held Despite
Kayo Of Former
Joey's Manager Willing
To Fight for Nothing
Rother Than ConceI

Joey Archibald's 15-round bout
with Harry Jeffra will not be can
celed despite the formers kayo at
Providence Monday night. Promoter
Joe Turner announced today
I'm not prepared at this time to
saw whether 1t will be staged at
Uline Arena or my own place he
said. But we've definitely decided
to go through with the match. AL
WE'LL (Archibald's manager wants
to fight Jef1ra for nothing, If neces-
sary, and he told us to go ahead
with our plans and If the match
fails to draw to just forget about
him"
Whether the bout will go into the
new Uline plant or be transferred
to Turner's smaller quarters depends
on a couple of conferences Turner
was to have with Max Waxman and
Raoul LIE Mat. Waxman transacts
Jeffras business and LIE Mat is gen.
eral manager of the arena.
LIE Mat wants $3.50 rental for the
arena. Waxman insists on Jeffa re-
ceiving 3712 per cent of the net
receipts. as stipulated in the original
contract. Now it remains to be seen
whether he'll gamble on the.new
arena or Turner's.
WE'LL, meanwhile, reports that
Archibald could have gotten up at
the count OF four after being f1oored
a second time by Larry Bolvin in
the Inflated match, but stayed down
to take advantage of a nine count.
He was down in the first round and

Three Essentiols Needed
To Become Greet Horse

rasked Charley Howard, his own
er. what he thought Seabiscuit's
greatest quality was,
There are three outstanding
factors that make great race
horse" Howard said. They are
speed. stamina and heart. They
are vital essentials.
"Seabiscuit had all three. But l
should say his main asset was
heart. I've never seen horse that
wanted to win as badly. How he
hated to be beaten!
You may recall his second start
In the 100000 Handicap here at
Santa Anita. First he stumbled and
almost fell Then he ran into an
other mixup through the first
quarter. Before he could get going
again he was at least l6 lengths off
the pace. You couldn't figure him
with a chance. And then, given
his opportunity to run. he raced
the fastest halfmile ever known
on any track to overtake the field.
This terrific rush left him fight
ing it out with Stagehand. But
he was spotting Stagehand 80 pounds
and Stagehand had been forced into
no such killing pace. Considering
all the circumstances, this was one
of the greatest races Of all turf
history. 1t proved again not only
the speed and stamina the Biscuit
carried. but also the fighting heart
that made him a champion"

you know" he said, that Sea-
buscuit already had run 38 races
before I bought him. That's lot
of races for a young horse. And he
had travelled the country from coast
to coast. He was a great traveller
All he wanted was another race.
The greatest thrill he ever gave
me was his last race. You may
remember that he had broken down
the year before in his only 1899
start. Few believed then he ever
would return to the track again.
Tom Smith, his trainer, still had
faith in the old fellow and when
he came back to win the handicap
and also set new track record, he
brought me a day I'll never forget.
