His left eye. butted open by Jackie

didn't even redden.
In yesterdays sparring against

record doesn't show him to be ter
rife puncher, he may develop into
one under the teachings of his new
manager, AL WE'LL. Lew Is waxing a
mite smarter and isn't taking so
many punches to get in close, where
he likes to operate.
In little more than a year, Han
bury has risen from local amateur
ranks to spot where Washington
ring followers are regarding him as
RED hot prospect for the light
weight championship. Most of this
regard comes from the manner in
which he handled Jackie Callura,
NBA featherweight king. but if he
gets past Wilson, who is fancy
boxer compared with Callura. then
New York, too, may sit up and take
notice of the Washington lad.
This will be Hanbury's 18th pro
fight. In the amateurs he won %
of 20 battles. while as a. pro he
has won nine. dropping two. His
pro record Is: Preston Drew won in

BALTIMORE, June 25.-Pimlico

best horses In training for a possible
fall meeting by announcing that
purse distribution at the meeting
would average at least $25, 900 a day.
This generally was regarded in
Maryland racing circles as an answer
to the proposal of other State in
terests that the Maryland commits
sion assign the 80 days of fall racing
available for assignment to Pimlico1
to the States other three major
tracks. r
Commission approval of the pro-
posal, suggested by the Bowie man

Officials said the purse distribu-
ton, voted by the directorate, would
carry with it an increase in the value
of such historic stakes as the Riggs

Walden, the Pimlico Special and
other minor events.
The added value of the Pimlico
