and broWnish fawn eyes, forgot the money angle-forgot the harsh ring lessons he had learned in his previ- ous heart-breaking years-as he saw the helpless old Negro swaying be- fore him.
 Tried for K. O.
 This. Negro was Chalky Wright, recognized in New York and af- filiated states as featherweight champion of the world-Wright who had promised to belt out young Sroltz, the No. 1 lightweight con- tender, and thus remove the major obstacle preventing his shift from the featherweight throne to the lightweight pedestal. Wright was out to kayo young Stolz and he tried manfully in the early rounds to turn the trick with his explosive short punches to body and head.
 But the anceint Los Angeles Negro whose age has been estimated vari- ously from 30 to 40, had no chance after the fifth round. Young AL lies weight superiority of l32 1-4 to 128 pounds, and his youth and zing began to tell in the sixth round when a hooking attack had Chalky staggering at the bell.
 Wright, who had won only the fifth round, clinching it on Stol1 foul, and who had lost the thirc and fourth rounds on low-bloW fouls, was in pitiful shape in tht 10th round-bleeding from a gashec nose and gashed left brow. Ther Stolz hit him with crashing right to the chin. Wr1ght's ancient knee. buckled and he almost went down Two more hooks followed to tn, same spot and Chalky was ready fo1 the canvas.
 Then Stolz grinned-showing hi bluish-white mouthpiece to tht crowd-and he stepped in, but h. didn't pole-axe the helpless Negro Instead, his arms encircled Chalk, and he whispered in his ear:
 How do you feel?"
 "Okay," replied Chalky iron groggyland.
 "Goodl" said Stolz, don't worry I'll carry you the rest of the round.
 The round had about two minute to go, and Stolz carried Wright, nov holding up his staggering opponent now boxing at shadows and missint Chalky by inch-fractions until tn final gong. Meanwhile, the crowt that sensed Wright was ready fo the kayo, was silent as the bur lesquC began. Then a ripple o applause started in appreciation o Allies all-too-evident getsure-a rip pie that became a girder -shakinl roar as the farce went on, and end ed in Q grand ovation for both.
 Good Boy
 Tn his dressing room Stolz said Sure, I could have knocked hin out, but what the hell for? He's no a bad old feller."
 These were the words of Stolz, lad who should be gall-bitter to tn l fight game and to the world whicl kicked him back at every chanc because of the apparent fragility c his body and sent his manager Hylnie Caplin, to prison because C an involvement in card games.
 stolz, who believes that he wa robbed of the decision in his Ia, fight with champion Angott. re fused to knock out venerable Wrigh lAithough Henry Armstrong, Negr had no such compunctions fol years aflo. when he tagged Chalk with his only kayo.

YEARLING SALES SHOW A MARKED DECLINE

Other thoroughbreds on the spacious, tree-lined grounds run the equine population to more than 1900. The best three-year- olde in training will go after the $20,O0O Travers, oldest race in America, Aug. IS.
 Featured with the meeting are the annual yearling sales held here since 1917 by the FasigTip- ton Co. From Aug. 3 to IA, 539 baby racers are being sold over the block. Last year 578 head sold for $1017,700, an average of $1761 per head
 Breeders correctly anticipated a lower market. On the frs day, 47 yearlings brought $14,350, an average of $327 each. This com pares with an average price of $1327 on the first day last yec-.
 Horsemen, however, do not ex- pect the bottom to fall out of the market. A thoroughbred has the highest earning capacity in his- tory today. In England recently, an eight-year-old broodmare was sold for $20,200. Several head in the Newmarket vendue brought more than $-0,00O, and one three year-old lilly was sold fro $14,700.
 The day of the fabulous priced yearling is gone. Only four brought more than $10,000 in 1941, the peak

Tire And Gas Rationing Catch Up With Saratoga
Spa Suffers From Travel Restrictions, Not N. J. Oval
BY BURTON BENJAMIN

BY BURTON BENJAMIN NEA Service Staff Correspondent Saratoga Springs, Aug.-War and resultant transportation difficulties have dealt Saratoga Race Track bod y blow.
 Comparing the first six days of the meeting with the same period last year, betting was off more than a quarter of a million dollars Attendance dropped more than 12,000.
 Little, If any, of this decline was due to competition from the new Garden City track in Camden. The New Jersey oval is drawing from the Philadelphia and Atlantic City areas. It is not getting the Sara toga clientele.
 The lush Spa trade, which in normal times commuted by auto- mobile from nearby lakes-Louise. Schroon and George-is immobilized by gasoline and tire rationing.
 Ever since prize fighter John A. Morrissey built the track in 1864 this little city near the foothills of the Adirondacks has been the horse capital of America during August. BULL REFUSED TO MOVE
 MEETING TO BELMONT
 George H. Bull, genial president of Saratoga and Empire tracks, had no illusions about financially success full season, but he insisted to direc tors that the meeting be held in out of -the-way Saratoga despite pressure to transfer it to Belmont Park.
 Saratoga has given the public high class racing for 77 years" eX- plained Bull. Tt will continue to do so unless national catastrophe interferes. We know rubber and gasoline rationing will fart, but the true racing fan will find some way to get to the track"
 Results of the first week would seem to disprove his contention or at least indicate that there are too few true racing fans" Officials placed part of the blame on in- clement weather.
 Horse owners have cast their die with Saratoga. There are 536 of the nations top-flight juveniles here to compete in such tradition al races as the -take-all Special, the Grand Union and the $40,o00 Hopeful on closing day, Aug. 29.

Nobody was thinking about the
alert, when someone said: 81 be-

ally heard a whistle. After
about five minutes we all heard
another whistle so we decided
it was an alert. My wife went

going by heavy as ever. In about
five more minutes the B. & O.

knew it was an alert. In fact it
is the only whistle that can be
