Fuller Takes On Speary Tonight

Boston, April 2.-(UP)-Pointing for a match with former triple champion Henry Armstrong. vel terweight Sammy Fuller of the North End stages his second come- back fight tonight when he me { ; Bill Speary of Nanticoke. Pa, in a l0-round feature bout at the Bos- ton Arena.
 With a win over Jose Torres of Puerto Rico under his belt, Fuller is convinced he can return to ring prominence after retiring five years ago as New England welterweight crown holder.
 Speary probably will offer Fuller far more competition than did Tor res. The Pennsylvania youth twice held the national amateur bantam weight crown and in his brief pro- fessional career has halted two for mer featherweight kings-Joey Arr chibald and Henry Jeffra.
 The co-feature, a 10-round semi final, sees Larry Bolvin of Provi- dence, R. l., meeting Gus (Coen) Levine of New York City. A trio of six rounderS see Roy Andrews, Low ell vs. Jackie Marchall, Revere; Billy Happier, Roxbury vs. Frankie Ross, North End; and Dave Horblitt West End vs. Al Francis, Providence, R. I.

Ten Famous Horse Races

in second place. Jim Dandy was third, three or four lengths off the leaders, and Sun Falcon trailed in last place, where he was to stay for the entire race.
 Halfway down the backstretch, the Fox went to the flying pace- maker and the two settled down to a head and head duel as both jock eys, oblivious of anything behind them, drove their mounts for all they were worth. Frankie Baker. meanwhile. was holding an armful of horse in Jim Dandy and was biding his time.
 Coming of the far turn. the Fox had taken the lead and Whichone began to falter badly. The thou sands who had backed the Belair giant were counting their money as the field sailed past the three eights pole when. on the rail, the scorned outsider, Jim Dandy, drove his head level with the red-hooded Fox.
 In a single furlong it was all over. JAm Oan0y jumped away with very stride. The Fox had shot his bolt in running down Whichone. Jim Dandy passed the judges eight lengths in front. The Fox was six lengths ahead of Whichone, while Sun Falcon was sorry fourth.
 It was the only major victory of Jim Dandy's career and he earned $27.O60 for his owner, c. Earl. The Fox. of course, became tnree-year- old king of the year and subse. quently evened matters with Jim Dandy. Whichone, badly crippled from his hard race over the choppy track. never raced again and was retired to stud.

Classy Sprinters
 Begin To Arrive At NarraganSett

Pawtucket, R. I. March Sl-K. D. Smiths Charitable, which won sprints at all major New England courses last season, is on the grounds at Narragansett Park and 1t is expected to start in the $2,50O Spring Handicap, opening day fea- ture on April 10. Trainer w. E: Emerson brought the speedy son Of Wise Counsellor-Benevolence from Tropical Park, and reports he ship ped in excellent condition.
 Charitable was conditioned m races in Florica this winter and should be ready for the question when Gansett throws wide Its gates for the opening of the l943 racing season in New England.
 Last season Charitable showed the way to Sack and Off Shore over the Narragansett track, in a six furlong event. He moved on to Suffolk Downs to defeat such good horses as Lassator, Charm Bracelet and Balmy Spring in a sprint, then went to Rockingham, where he won the three-quarter mile Lost River Handicap.
 m the latter event the Wise Counsellor left such speedsters as Us, Layaway and Night Editor be- hind him.
 Emerson also has Border Battle here to run der Smiths jacket.
 Charitable's task in the Spring Handicap will be no light one. Harry Barnett has already served notice that he is gunning for the prize with his fast lilly Medid which arrived here looking fit as 8 Stradivartus fiddle. Medid has been breezing steadily over the sourse and may be a tough young lady to catch in the sprint.
 Hot Stuff At B. M.
 There is a good chance that Mill B. Stables Ended may arrive from California in time for the opening day event. This 4-year-old ap- pears to be one of the most improved horses in training. He was claimed in New England last fall and has developed into something of a sprint champion at Bay Meadows.
 Another horse to reckon with in the Spring may be W. Gullatts Quakertown. which is here from Florida. At Tropical Park quaker town was cend three times in a row. On one of those occasions he made the highly regarded Time of War run to his best lick to beat him over six furlongs.
 Entries for the Spring Handicap do not close until April .. and many other candidates from Hot Springs. New Orleans and California will be on the grounds by that date. Racing Secretary Robert S. Shelley will announce weights for the event on April 6.

 New York, April 1 - U.P) On hot, humid August afternoon in 1880, turf fans, streaming out along tree-nned Union avenue on their way Co the Saratoga race track. were thankful for the shade they walked in as they tried to make up their minds about which horse to back in the Trayers Stakes that day.
 There were only four entered and only two counted in pre.race calculations. What Q pair they were = Belair Studs mighty Gallant Fox and Harry Payne Whitney's xieet Whichone. Sun Falcon was the third horse and the fourth was a despised, all but broken-down colt named Jim Dandy, unable to win . race in 12 starts that year.
 There was bitter rivalry between the Fox and Whichone. The Belair colt, the triple crown winner. had handled Whichone easily in the Belmont Stakes, but the Whitney colt had an excuse-he hadn't liked the greasy track. Whitney was con- 4ident that Whichone would secure revenge in the Travers.
 The betting was brisk before the start of the mile and one-quarter race and the odds on the top pair lilictuated in the early wagering. Finally, as the small field reached the post, the Fox was a 1-to-2 choice, Whichone was 8 to 5, Sun Falcon was 90 to and Jim Dandy 100 to 1.
 The track was soaked from rain and Saratoga mud is the heavy, holding kind which is tough for a dinky- legged horse to run over. Whichone. long sufferer from bad Iinderpinning, would be handi- capped by the footing and his trainer wanted to scratch him but Whitney insisted on starting.
 Sogfny Workman on Whichone Was alert ct the break and hustled ihe son of Chlcle into a short lead as they rushed by the stands for Che first tiEne,s while Gallant Fox. with Earl sande up, pounded along

STEVE DWELL .'H|GH' ON ROOKIE S5O,OOO

CThls Is the 18th In series on the l94s prospects of the major league teams).
BY LEO II. PETERSEN lIlnlten Pnnsa Snnrts Eilltnrl


 New York, April 2.--(Up)-Steve O'Neill Is counting on two rockies to make his managerial debut with the Detroit Tigers a successful one.
 If they come through, he thinks he will have a contending club in the l943 American league pennant race despite the fact that the Tigers have lost more players to the serv- Ices and defense work than any other major league team.
 The rockies are Dick Wakefield, the $50,000 outfielder, and Robert Joe Hoover, a shortstop.
 O'Neill Is particularly high on Wakefield, whom he had at Rau- mont last year and who began pay- ing dividends on the big bonus the Tigers gave him while playing col- lege ball by hitting .345. The new Detroit pilot believes Wakefield will become one of the leagug:'s leading hitters in his freshman season.
 May Be Called
 There is some question. however, of how long Wakefield will be with the Tigers for he Is singlge. His present draft classification is S-A because he has dependents.
 Hoover played with Hollywood last year and batted .329. He is the only bonafide shortstop on the Tiger roster and O'Neill believes the fact that the rookie doesn't have to worry about competition for the job might help him gain the confi- dence and steadiness which the job needs.
 Outside of Wakefield and Hoover, the Tigers will go to the post with a veteran team. Rudy York will be on first, Jimmy Bloodworth. at sec- ond and Pinky Higgins at third with Roger Creamer and Ned Harris poining Wakefield in the outfield.
 Ed Parsons. who took over last year when Birdie Tebbets joined the service; Paul Richards, who managed Atlanta, and Albert B. Unser, up from Winston-Salem will share the catching. All are light hitters.
 ONeill has only nine pitchers, but eight of them were with the club last year. The only newcomer is Frank Overmire, who won IA and lost Il with Beaumont in 1922.
 Short?
 The holdover moundsmen are Tommy Bridges, Virgil Trucks, Har- old White, John Corsica, Roy Hem shaw, Harold Manders, Harold New houser and Paul Trout. Unless they surpass their 1e42 form the Tigers are likely to find themselves short on pitching.
 For the infield and outfield utility posts there are two veterans Don Ross, who can play almost any in. field or outfield position, and Rip Radcliff. Five rockies are fighting 1t out for the other reserve berths.

A REQUEST

Much thought is being given to the problem of providing re-
employment for men returning from military service. So far as
possible, old jobs are being kept available. But this does not apply
to one group In the service whose jobs were the result of years of
training and individual effort.
When a doctor goes to war his job cannot be preserved for him.
His patients must go elsewhere. When he returns, he must find
new patients, a slow, tedious task that will not be made easier by
the fact that tens of thousands of other doctors released from the
armed forces will be doing the same thing.
However, the doctors are not kicking. All the average doctor asks
is a chance to work in the way he is best fitted by environment and
training the way of the individual doctor under the traditional
American medical system. 1t is a reasonable request.

ON II FARM FRONT
y NEWS from the
AaneuHwo/ htAnsoa Jennte

Completion of the harvest
season and slackening off of the
more pressing farm jobs makes
fall an ideal time to look after
farm machinery and equipment,
says Harry G. Cockrum of the
rural engineering department at
Montana State College.
One of the first things to do.
he said. is to get machinery un-
der cover for the winter. With
many kinds of machines diff
cult. if not impossible. to OBJ
tain during wartime it is more
important than ever to protect
machines now on the farm. The
storage shed for machinery need
not be fancy. but it should be
tight enough to keep out rain
and snow.
When the machinery is stored
is also a good time to check it
over the parts that need replac-
ing and repairs that need to be
made, he continued. Give bright
metal parts a coating of old
crankcase oil to protect against
rust. Remove combine and bind
er canvases and store in a dry
safe place from rats.
After the list Of repairs is
made out, order them at once
to be sure they will arrive in
time to have the repairs made
well ahead OF the busy spring
work season.
In preparing machinery for
winter, farmers are reminded
by Cockrum not to overlook the
tractor. Check the anti-freeze
in the radiator and add new if
needed for winter operations.
Put in the winter grade of oil
recommended by the manufact-
urer and adjust the carburetor
for winter conditions. Tires con-
tanning water should have cal
cium cholide added to prevent
injury. If the tractor is not be-
ing Used in the winter it should
be housed, the cooling system
drained, wheels blocked up to
take the weight off the tires.

HI U-NORGANIZED

Officers of organized pressure groups are soaring congressman
into voting against the subsidies necessary to hold down prices.
There are something like 20 million heads of families not being
heard in the debate in Washington right now, but who will be hit
the hardest by runaway price initiation.
In that silent group are the so-caned white collar workers in
business, the professional people, the small farmers and small bus
mess men, and retired people on fixed incomes and pensions.
They all lack means of joining in the free-for-all of price boost
ing which the pressure groups are talking congress into starting.
In addition, of course, the organized workers will, as has always
been the case, find that in the seesaw of initiation they can never
keep up with the inflationary price boom. But the unorganized
are the ones who seem utterly aware that the fight against the
administration on subsidies, if successful, would hit them first of
all and with the severest blow by starting the inflationary spiral.
