him another chance.

During the spring (Novikoff was

moment. Yes, you broke my heart.

He doesn't drink" Wilson con-
tinued. But he loves to sing. One
night in Pittsburgh I saw him go to

found him? In one of those small

AIsab 10 Prove
Turf Novelty
AT Hia|eah
Bargain Colt, Minus
Skittishness, Poised
For Rich Stokes
BY MALCOLM B. JOHNSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 24-Alsab, a
-to-riches horse without streak
of temperament, is ready to show
Florida racing fans that a great
running thoroughbred doesn't have
to be nervous, skittish at the post
and hard to handle.
AlSab, his owner and trainer says,
just walks to the starting gate with
all the relaxation of an old mare.
He runs pretty much his own race,
picks his spots like a fancy foot
ball back-and the last 10 times he
has done it, the best 2-year-olds in
the country have followed him in.
That's not what habitues of Hia-
leah and Tropical Parks here are
used to in their big-name horses.
Whiraway. which raced here last
winter, is all his name implies. He
is hard to handle and unless he has
his dog companion along, he acts up
at the post, and has to be ridden
hard to keep him from running
wide.
If the two ever are matched, II
should be quite study in contrasts.
Alsab probably will make his first
start as a 3-year-old in one OF the
big stake races at Hialeah, then go
on for try at the Kentucky Derby
and other rich purses.
Albert SABBATH paid s700 at an auc-
ton for AlSab as an untried son OF
a merely good father and a $50
mother who never went to the races.
In less than year since his first
start in Hialeah race last spring,
he has won $l10,600.
The horse has an extraordinary
ability to relax, SABBATH said. To the

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-The sum

annual survey.
The almost fantastic sum is ap-
proximately s100,000,0O0 more than
the previous year.
New York, with total bets OF
$133 982 STA, led the various States
for the second straight year. The
mutuels have been in operation in
the State for only that time.
OF that sum, approximately ST.
100000 went to the State in fees,
licenses and breakage. The same
16 States reported their take of the
1941 amount was $20,863 ,946.67-
more than $5,000,O00 greater than
it was in 1910.
Michigan, relying only license
fee and passing up the more lucra-
tive cut of the betting handle, was
the only State to show a decline
in revenue.
In 1910 the Wolverine officials

Illinois furnished a sharp con-
trast. With 2 per cent tax on
the bets for the first time as we'll
as the customary cuts from licenses
and admissions the State income
was almost tripled.
The States 1910 amount was
S614,O59.60, while the 1941 income
with the betters wagering $13.141,-

was $1,7901 1922.
