another Challedon, who simply needs plenty of time to reach his best condition. We don't know what Alsab is because his defeat in the Bahamas was complicated.
 Owner Al Sabath blamed the de- feat on Jockey Conn MeCreary He said McCreary wasn't strong enough and that the colt encountered bad racing luck. McCreary explained that Alsab lacked his old zip. When he called on the colt, he said Alsab either couldn't run or wouldn't run, Of the two statements, I am in clined to accept McCreary's as more accurate.
 McCreary is an honest boy, com petent and dead game in every re- Spect if Alsab could have won, Conn would have booted him home be- cause he was stretch running jockey on stretch running horse. And he was right on the colts back. Sabath didn't even see the race. He has Q weak heart and he always walks behind the granGstand.
 The question of why Alsab lacked zip has many ramifica tionS. The $700 baby who won Sl10,O00 hasn't gained weight properly in the last three months and is said to be a trip drown. He has been working a little too fast. And he under | took his debut under unfavorable conditions. He was heavily weighted | and faced some really tougnened Sprinters.
 A super horse would have over come these obstacles, maybe, but AL sab is no super horse yet--far from it.. He. is great bargain and a great -yearold and he has a flair for fast times. But the record books are against great juveniles and time doesn't mean too much.
 Shy on Class
 Class counts more than clockines which brings up another point. AL sab d-dn't run in the big races last year and he didn't run against Sun Again, Some Chance, Devil Diver and Shut Out. Maybe he would have whipped them, but there is a question. Enough of a question to make 31 Kentucky Derby quota tions appear ridiculous and new Man O War billings ludicrous. Alsab has a big joo ahead. He is the big horse. until proven other wise, ard he is in for the worst of it all the way. The pressure is on him. Every time he goes to the post everybody is out to beat him for the purse. And he is due for plenty of pumping and bad racing luck be- cause he is a slow SGarter who comes on best in the stretch.
 | AS of today, neither l nor Trainer Sarge Swenke can say what Alsab will or won't do. He must prove that ill his next start. I'd like to see him go on winning, hut the scales are weighted against him or the track and in. the history books as well as in the racing secretary S o11lce It is wise to remember thai you seldom love Derby prospect in May as you did h December.

Fistic Firm Of Plan And Winch Made Za!e Champ

New York, Feb. 10 Sam Plan and Art Winch have been decribed as the perfect managerial team Plan loks after the fighters business Winch looks after the fighter. The boxers handled by Plan and Winch are matched right and are always Tn good condition,
 Boxing men say of Plan and Winch: "They seldom make mis- takes. They always know what they're doing. They never match their fighter with an opponent un- less they are confident their fighter can win
 Upset?
 Perhaps this Is the reason why SO many boxing figures along 49tf street believe Tony Iale, world mid dleweight champion, will upset the dope and triumph over Billy Conn former light-heavy king, in theil tWelve-rOund match at MadlSof Equare Garden on Friday night aZle, you SC, is managed by Plaf and Winch.
 It is generally conceded by boxing men that Barney Ross was one ol the best managed fighters of recent years. Plan and Winch guided Ross to teh world lightweight champion ship and twice to the world welter- weight throne.
 Only once did they show lack o1 confidence in Ross. That was during negotiations for Barneys first fight with Jimmy McLarnin. Plan ano Winch hesitated about signing foi the match. Ross came flying i'll from Chicago and insisted the match be made. Ross won.
 We'll Done
 Four years ago, when Plan and Winch tool. over the management o1 Tony Zale, the Gary, Ind, lad was just another fighter and not very good one He had had little success in fisticufis, losing almost as many fights as he won. He was getting nO- where, but fast
 But with Plan matching him cor rectly and Winch conditioning him pTOpcIly, Ldle oCdl ted ai uP"o climb that brought him the N. B. A tniddlewcight title two years ago and finally the world title last November 28 when Zale pounded out victory over Georgie Abrams at the Garden Having matched Zale with Billy Conn, Plan and Winch are confident tehir fighter vii win not merely make a god fight--but win.

(Unlted FreSS Stan COrreSpOndent)
 New York, Feb. 10.-CUP)-Mem- bers of the Ancient and Honorable Society of Turf Writers and Handi- cappers, Inc, and Ltd, are con- fronted with a serious problem They cant determine what course they should take the next time AL sab goes to the races. They must decide between throw out last" and seems somewhat over-rated." There is no other choice.
 There can't be another choice be- cause the glamor horse of 1922 has cooked the dice against himself. He has run his first race as three year-old and lost it. He headed for the gate hailed as a new Man O War" and he returned to his barn with the boos of the crowd stinging his silky ears. His down. fall was emphatic and sudden. He finished sixth and didn't run a lick.
 Chin Music
 This defeat has started a mighty argument. It is the same argument you hear every winter, hinging on the suhtle point of whether juve- nile champ is likely to grow Sjrong and fast enough to win the Ken lucky Derby. The owners always say yes; history always says no. The next time Alsab runs everyone will know which assertion is cor rect.
 We'll know if Alsab is another Pompoon or Our Boots, two-year-old kings who never fulfilled their promise at three: another Whirl- away. who sulked in his early win ter campaign and then came on: or

Hornets Heron Set Ice Mark
 With Six Goals

When Robert (Red) Heron, Pitts burgh left Winger, rifled in six goals against the New Haven Eagles m the Smoky City on Feb. 4th, his feat sent the statsticians scurry- ing through the records only to come up with the information that the modern individual scoring rec ord in one game had been shat tered.
 Harons double Hat Trick" feat had erased the former record of five goals and one assist established at Montreal, Dec. Is, 1929, but Pit" Lepine, Canadiens, as Montreal de- feated Ottawa, 6-3.
 However, Heron has a lot more latitude i'll his effort inasmuch as Pittsburgh sNamped New Haven by a score of 13 to 4, setting another league record in which Ruby Rob- ert played a handsome part.
 Heron who reaily flew high in establishing the latest scoring rec ord, was born in Toronto, Ont, Dec. 3l, 1917. He tips the beam at ITO pounds, is 5 feet 10 inches tall and is a left hand shot. His last anna = teur club was the Toronto Good- years. Heron turned professional during the l937-1938 season with the Syracuse Stars of the then h. ternational American 'Hocke league.
 Peculiarly enough, Heron turned the trick against Phil Stein, sturdy net-minder who was a member of the Syracuse Stars during the time that Ruby Robert broke into pro- fessional hockey.
 And in scoring three goals in 75 seconds, Heron also broke the rec- ord established in Detroit, March 13, 1888, by Carl Liscombe, of the Detroit Red Wings, who belted in three goals in minute and 52 seconds.

 Last nights surprise was all the more effective, because the Looks spotted the Wings two goals in the second period, but Weidorn scored Wlht about a minute of playing time left to keep the Looks in the ball game. Vic Ford made the pass to Weldorn and then scored himself in the third session to square the match at two goals apiece. Chabot Clicks
