be intriguing in a minor way.
Washington's first base situation
this spring is settled for the first
time since Joe Kuhel was exchanged
for Zeke Bonura several seasons
ago. Slim Mickey Vernon will have
what amounts to no competition
for a position handled at various
times and with varying degrees OF
skill in the past three years by such
figures as Bonura, Jimmy Wasdell,
Ossie Bluege, Bob Pritchard, Jimmy
Bloodworth, Sammy West. Jack
Sanford, George Archie and Vernon.
The only recognized first baseman
in camp is 6-foot, 6-inch Curtis

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 28.-Ben F.
Whitaker's Requested, forced to play
second fiddle to Alsab as 2-year-
old, turned the tables today with a
spectacular victory In the rich Fla
mingo stakes worth $28,150.
Coming out Of nowhere with a
burst of his old speed, Alsab
snatched third place, back Of the
longshot Redthorn.
The biggest crowd Of the season
at Hialeah Park, 26,571, got its first
thrill in q mile and eighth $2,500
race when Louis Tufano's astound-
ing Cinderella horse, Market Wise,
beat one Of the best fields ever to
run here.
Market Wise Last at Start.
From dead last at the start, Mar
ket Wise came through handily
under a brilliant ride by Jockey
Wendell Eads to win going away
over such champions as Attention,
War Relic, Challedon, Pictor, Mo
land and Porter's Cap.
MRS. Parker Corning's Attention,
starting for the first time of the
winter, took second. and Samuel D.
Riddles War Relic was third in the
event-in which every advance "a
vorite for next weeks $50, 900 Widen
er handicap was competitor.
Once Eddie Arcaro called upon
Requested to make his bid in the
Flamingo there was little doubt that
the Whitaker colt would triumph.
The horse was third at the three
quarter post In the mile and an
eighth heat, took the lead as the
field Of 16 thundered into the stretch
and flashed over the finish 4 lengths
to the good.
Alsab picked up quickly in the
mad stretch rush, but wound up
lengths back Of j. ]. McIntyre's
Redthorn, a field horse.
Strung along behind Al Sabath's
1941 juvenile sensation were the
pick of the 3-year-olds gathered at
Hialeah-including most of the
horses which will figure in the
Kentucky Derby.
Requested Pays Well.
In the face of Requested's
lightning workouts this week, the
crowd had not backed him heavily
and the payon was $13.1o for a 81
win ticket. The place and show
prices were $50 and $3.50.
Redthorn returned $3.50 and IS. 10
and Alsab closed at IS even to show
The triumph ran Requested,s total
winnings to $7S, 400.
Wel1-liked because Of his victory
last week In the McLennan Handi-
cap, Market Wise returned $3.50
$3.50 and $3.7o across the board. At
tention came in at $3.50 and $3.50
and the show price on War Relic
was $40.
Obtained by Tufano for the outlay
Of only $500, Market Wise now had
won $112640.
The winner Of neither feature
challenged the track record for the
mile and furlong-1 minute 48H
seconds established by Brevity and
equaled by Stagehand.
Market Wise romped home In
1895, but Requested needed the
comparatively slow time Of 1:502s.

romped of with 44-32 victory be-

1t was sweet revenge for the l.

hands last Wednesday at Lexington,
but in the first half it didn't look
as though the Colonials would
square accounts. v. NJ. I. made good
with an amazing percentage Of its
shots and controlled the ball under
the blackboard with smart brand

Zunic PAGES Colonials.
Mad Matt" Zunic paced the
Colonials with IL points, cracking
his own season scoring mark with
a new record of 251 points in 18
games. Last year in % games, he
racked up 243 points. Matt also
pushed his three-year record to 644
points, almost hundred better than
the mark previously held by Forrest
Burgess.

after a months layoff because OF
broken foot bone; Joey Gallagher

battle during hectic first half that
saw the lead change hands flve

least to discuss salary terms, how
ever, and thus Repass may be forced
to beat off the challenge Of per-
former who batted only .l87 until
he jumped the tearm last June in
indignation over the prospect of
being farmed to Chattanooga.
Gale Will Be Eyed Keenly.
That argument over who shall
inherit third base responsibilities at
least will be unique. In the tussle
for the position will be a converted
outfielder, Bobby Estalella; Al
year-old landmark Of Washington
baseball, Ossie Bluege, and rookie
up from Milwaukee, Stanley Gale.
Gale will be the most keenly eyed
individual of the trio, principally
because he is the only orthodox
player in the running. Bluege, the
best defensive third baseman Of his
era, is attempting to return to ac-
tive duty after a lapse Of three
wears, while the stumpy Estalella
has played few games at the po-
sition.
Bluege still retains rank as de-
fensive genius. He never has lost
the cunning of his salad days on
any ball blasted in his general di-
rection. but there is considerable
doubt if his batting will be accept
able. Then, too, there siskepticism
over his ability to stand the strain
of regular play.
