You re Favored
To Lose # You
BET Favorites
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

It's an odds-on bet that va

the way the horses are running
now.
The favorites are doing fairly
we'll as a whole, but the horses
that 90 to the post at less than
even money aren't keeping up the
the old percentage. That was
brought home to a crowd OF 5000
when two out of three odds-on
choices took whippings at the Fair
Grounds yesterday afternoon.
Flying Torpedo, a 3-year-old
gelding owned by the Bomar
Stable Of Detroit, was the only
four-legged flyer TO uphold the
faith of the public. The son of
Jean Vatican was making only
the third start of his career but
he attracted a truckload of money
because he had finished close
fourth, beaten only two and half
lengths by the track burning
GAINESVILLE in his last start.
MADE SIS FAVORITE
There weren't any Clarksville
or Meggys in this race; just 81
other $3.50 3-year-olds. AS a re-
suit Flying Torpedo was mad;
the shortest priced favorite of IT,
meeting at 3-5.
Flying Torpedo then proceede
TO win like a true odds-on favorit

him off the pace set by the Isl
shot Mothers Girl and was laying
second in the stretch.
At the eighth pole he decided il
was time 10 make his move-an0
away went Flying Torpedo. The
favorite rocketed away from hir
rivals to win by three and a hal.
lengths, with Mothers Girl seconG
and Huracon third in the six-fur-
long dash.
Flying Torpedo's hackers col
lected $500. That was acceptable
under the circumstances but ii
hardly recompensed them for the
beating they had taken in the
first race on Come Home, at As.
and were due to take later when
they sent Pal O'Sweep, $1,000
horse, out as a ITO shot in the
sixth race.
Come Home wound up in third
place behind a 10-1 shot, Carlade.
while Pal O'Sweep was second in
his effort, beaten two lengths by
Arcadian despite George Kings
riding.
The defeat of Come Home and
Pal O'Sweep made the standing
for the meeting three victories
and five defeats for odds-on choice.

The percentage of winning odds

last year was 5625, with nine
winners and seven losers. The
best record was in the Spring and
Summer meeting of 43 days when
eight won and two lost. In the
Fall meeting of % days there were
five defeats to one victory for
the heavily played horses.
There were cheering notes on
the program yesterday for form
players, however. with three ia
vorites finding their way to the
wire in addition to Flying Torpedo.
Jockey Jack Flinchum accounted
for two of them, Rock Maker and
Sun Risk, while George Wallace

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Dec. 10
Stale and overgolfed, Craig Wood
Is abandoning the winter resort tour
nament swing to strengthen his
chances of retaining his crown if the
National Open championship is
played next year.
Should he make money as head
professional at the new Normandy
Isle municipal course here. the blond
blaster never again will travel the
coast-to-coast circuit.
He will say good-by to his fellow
pros after the $4,000 Miami Open
this week until they return for the
Miami Biltmore's international four
ball matches next March.
Rest Will Help Game.
"I've been playing matches all
summer" Wood explained today.
I'm fed up on golf and I'm stale.
A rest this winter will do my game
a lot of good.
I've been wanting to win the
Open again next year, and think
the layoff will improve my chances
if the war doesn't force cancellation
of the tournament"
An open champion never before
has given up the tournament grind
to become pro at municipal course,
but Wood Is enthusiastic.
For several years now" he said,
IT have been looking for a good
winter connection, for a good club
where there Is a lot of traffic and q

Sees Great Possibilities.
"I think there are great possibih-
ties at Normandy Isle. II 1t works
out, can spend the summer at

stay here at the Beach. where have
a home, throughout the winter"
Wood expects no financial setback
from leaving off the quest for tour
nament cash, provided he can make
expenses here the first year.
"I've been winning $500 to $4,000
in the winter" he said, but by time
all the costs were subtracted I wasn't
much ahead, if any. So If break

Unbeaten and united Duquesne,
known to be willing to play a post

approached with an offer to be one
of the teams. while Texas u, which
finished with a TT win over Ore

The game originally was proposed
for British War Relief, but now If

relief causes including the U. S. o.

Committee, is in New York trying to
