ARCADIA, Cal, Feb. l. (UP)-
If it were always fair weather when
good horses got together, Alfred
Vanderbilt's Impound would be bet
ter than a fair bet to win the $780,
600 Santa Anita Handicap here on
March l.
This big brown colt of Sun Beau
ended a rest cure of nearly two
years yesterday by returning to the
races and winning a six furlong
sprint in the handy time of 1:10.4.
1t was Impound's first time out
since May 13, 1899, when he ran
fourth to Challedon in the preak-
ness and bowed a tendon at the
same time.
Young Vanderbilt saw yesterdays
race and when it was over he was
as happy as a fellow can be when
he is down to his last Is or 20
million. Grinning, he told me I'm

to beat in the golden gallop.
''Impound now joins Challedon
Midland. and Can't Wait as the big
horses in the race" he said. THAT
is, if it doesn't rain. He goes only
on a fast track, and that goes for
the handicap as well as for the
prep races
I asked Vanderbilt if that meant

HOgue Upsets

OS1& - EC&to
There were a good many sports
writers who had several columns of
type to eat Saturday because Shor-
ty Hogue, the better half of the
Jacumba twin fighting duo, scored
surprise decision over Archie
Moore Friday night in the main
event of the San Diego coliseum.
Shorty, given only an outside
chance to defeat Moore by most of
the so-called experts, gave the San
Diego Negro a boxing lesson in all
but three rounds. Those three
rounds, however, almost cost Shorty
the battle, because in each the
third, sixth and ninth stanzas
Moore was only a blow or two from
k. o. win.
Hogue, however, showing more
stamina than ever before, weather.
ed the flurries to come out with a
win and a shot at Eddie Booker in
San Francisco for the state middle
weight title.
Many fight experts had previous
ly rated Moore as the uncrowned
middleweight champion of the
world, therefore it is highly posi-
BILE that the Houge twin may pro-
gress to become the middleweight
titlist, in he event he can line up
a match with one of the claimants.
Net Notes
Some months ago we paused at
the home of Charles Birkhauser,
self admitted sports expert, to give
the horse laugh regarding a predic-
ton from him that Frank Kovacs
would one day be the National net
champion.
That was before Kovacs dropped
his clowning tactics, however, and
began bona-fide attempt to win
a few tournaments. So it may be
that Birkhauser will have the last
laugh because Kovacs' repelling of
Bobbie Riggs, 1911, 2-6, 6-2, 6-1, in
the Florida West Coast final for his
third winter singles crown in as
many starts is something in the way
of evidence that the son of the i'm
migrant upholsterer has at 81 settl-
ed down to be something more than
a modified Hungarian screwball.
Until now, Kovacs has clowned,
grimaced and questioned decisions
just for laughs while getting off
magnificent shots. He stands six
feet three, weighs ITS.
While he has refused to take
things seriously. Kovacs' ever-pre-
sent smile reflects the enjoyment
he gets out of the game. He lived

Rallies TO Take
Nod from Moore

SAN DIEGO. Feb. 1.-Shorty
Hogue. a stout hearted middle
weight, defended the reputation OF
the fighting Hogue twins of ia
cumba Friday night by battering his
way to ten-round decision over
Archie Moore in main event at
the San Diego coliseum.
Hogue accomplished his victory
over the favored Moore before 1000
persons. the largest San Diego
crowd in three years, and thereby
qualified to meet Eddie Booker for
the state middleweight champion
ship.
The hard hitting twin was forced
to weather three stormy rounds, the
third, sixth and ninth, to win the
decision. but he came from the
brink of defeat on all three occa-
sions to take the nod of Referee
Winters.
Hogue hit the floor for a two
count in the third round, absorbed
barrage of punches in the sixth
round which would have felled a
less sturdy battler. Hogue was al
SO in slight trouble in the ninth
round but rallied sufficiently in
the tenth to take close verdict.

tually had a mud mark, but that
he would not risk recurrence OF
the old injury that kept him out
of training for so long. Given fair
weather, and Impound not only
will shoot for the Santa Anita pot
of gold but for the $4,000 San Juan
Capistrano stake and the $4,000
Golden Gate handicap at Albany.
Impound is a good horse. A real
good one, in fact He came out in
1888, a year that produced such
two-year-olds as Johnstown, Chal-
ledon, Gilded Knight, Porter's
Mite and Ciencia. He went to the
post 16 times that year and while
he only won one race he looked
powerfully good in losing. 1t was
his misfortune to always run up
against a rival who had big day.
There was that day at Belmont
when he was second by half a
length to Porters Mite, who turned
the 6ls furlongs in world record
time. He ran Johnstown to a head
at Laurel and was second to Challe-
don in the New England Futurity.
Impound was a hard Rocking
horse as three-year old. He picked
up a $4,000 stake here in Califor-
mia, beating, among others, Porters
Mite and Our Mat. He was third
to Ciencia in the $4,000 derby here,
and went back to Havre de Grace
to lick Challedon while losing to
Gilded Knight. He was third to
Johnstown in the Wood Memorial
and fourth to Challedon in the
PreakeSS. 1t is worth noting that
after a bad start in the Preakness
he was running fool at the finish
and picked up 21a lengths on Chal-
ledon in the stretch.
That was the race that laid him
up. In chasing Challedon on the
sloppy track at Baltimore Impound
bowed tendon in his right foreleg.
He could have raced four or five
months later but Vanderbilt, know
ing he had a real good horse, kept
him idle. He wanted Impound to be
