The Three Dumb Dukes are liv-

The New York boxing commits
sion has 50 thoroughly muddled up
the lightweight and bantamweight
divisions that it would take resin
Einstein to even get the why's and
whereforS.
When Sammy AngOtt gave up his
crown the commission
decided TO stage an elimination
tourney TO determine the new
champion. That's where the fun
started there.
The commission has been 50 high
handed in its decisions that it has
forced one promoter to close three
arenas in the metropolitan area
because scheduled bouts were con-
being interrupted by the
commission.
The august ring body denied
Cleo ShanS' plea for release from
a bout in the lightweight tourney
in spite OF fractured rib. Now
the Dukes have suspended both
him and his manager because
ShanS wouldn't enter the ring
and perhaps allow himself TO be
permanently crippled.
But the bantamweight picture has
been more thoroughly disrupted By
the Dukes. in our estimation. They

16. (UP)-Warren Wright S
WhirlaWay, the turf's lead
ing money winner Of all
time, today was selected as
the horse of the year in the annual
poll of the turf and Sport Digest.
The Calumet speed king beat out
Alsab for the title by 81 votes to
win the award for the second con-
secutive year. The 1913 sports writ
ers who voted gave Whirlaway rs
ballots and Alsab, the three year
old marvel, As. Count Fleet, a two
year old, was given four votes, Shut
Out, the Kentucky Derby winner,
two and Riverland one.
1t marked the second time in the
seven years that the poll has been
held that a horse has won the
award two years in row Challedon
did it in 1899 and 1910. Previous
winners were Seabiscuit in 1888.
War Admiral in 1897 and Granville
in 1886
In addition to winning horse Of
the year hOnOrS, WhlrlaWay also
was placed at the head Of the four
year-old and upwards division. In
that group. WhirlaWay was given
total of 382 points on the basis
of three points for a first place,
two for a second and one for a
third.
Riverland was second in the four

Vagrancy 81 points, Valdina Or
phan 40, Requested and Thumbs

The race between WhirlaWa" and
! AlSab for the horse of year honors
was not as close as most turf men
! thought it would be. AlSab beat
WhirlaWay two out of the three
+ times they met in 1912 But despite
those defeats WhirlaWay remained
the choice Of the public as we'll rs
the writer's.

KEY MAN

Key man in the Arab lineup may
prove to be Jack Suttle, football
tackle and hoop guard. In the sue
cessful Arab campaign of last sea-
son. which included victories over
large junior colleges of California,
Suttle's play was good and it has
continued to improve.
Although Suttle played no bas-
ketball on a high school team he
has continued to learn the tricks
of the game and has developed into
good shot. His guarding and abili-
u to take the shot rebounds won
several games for e. Centro last
season.
Marvin Walker and Russell Peck
who dropped from school after the
football season this year, will lead
the Holtville squad against their
former teammates.
