Fleet, No Other Racer
Close 10 Man 0'War,
Feusfe| Declares
Wonder Horse 10 to 20
Pounds Superior to All,
His Developer Holds

By the Associated Press.
Louis Feustel, who developed and
trained Man o War for Samuel
Riddle, thinks that Count Fleet is a
very good colt, but as for comparing
the present 3-year-old king with the
wonder horse of two decades ago
no.
Il believe Man G. War could give
10 to 20 pounds to any other horse
ever foaled and beat him. Of course,
I am prejudiced, but Big Red was an
extraordinary thoroughbred. His
mold has been destroyed and I don t
think we ever will see his equal"
However, Feustel is enthusiastic
over Count Fleet. The trainer, who
has just returned to the track fol-
lowing an automobile accident in
Miami last winter. commented
primarily about the Counts action.
"All good horses" he explained,
have good breeding and good action.
Count Fleet has both of those. Most
champions also have good con-
formation, but what Count Fleet
lacks there he makes up in action. p"
Fuestel then went on to tell how
he was not impressed the first time
he saw Count Fleet. but watched
the colt in a workout one morning
and was amazed by his terrific pace
"It was the free, easy way he
skinned over the ground that won
me-" Feustel admitted. His action
was perfect, the kind only real good
horses possess"

Hart, Willing Fighter,
Has Failed 10 Earn
Backing Of Fans
Hopes for Their Support
In Scrap With ViIIur
Monday at Ball Park

The Washington boxing public
may be a puzzle to Al Hart, the big,
genial Negro soldier stationed at
Army War College. A fairly compe-
tent workman in the ring, Al has
had three fights here recently with
out earning any popularity in town
that usually goes for heavyweights
in big way.
He meets Claudio Villar next Mon
day at Griffith Stadium in the 10
round heavyweight feature of card
that includes Jimmy Phillips against
Jackie Wilson, the former feather
weight champion, and this is one
time it would help him to have the
crowd give him some moral support.
Introduced from the ring last week,
however. he was greeted by q mild
chorus of boos.
In Hart's last three fights he has
met Lou Brooks, Wallace Cross and
Larry Lane. He was given a narrow
decision over Brooks that had the
customers raise the roof in dis
sent. A split decision over Cross
also was unpopular, while the draw
against Lane grumblingly was ac-
cepted.
There appears little reason for
Hart not being popular with the
fans. He's a clean, sporting fighter
who tries to put on a good battle.
True, he's not the best heavyweight
in the business, but any one who
at least tries to put up a fight
here usually gets backing. The GUS
toners will bet on him, but they
don't give him their moral support.
Probable reason for this is that
Hart is such a big boy-he weighs
220-that the fans expect him to belt
his opponents all around the place
and are mildly disappointed when
that doesn't happen. G. E. H.
