MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 23.-Whether
AL Sabaths Alsab will run in the
$4,000 Widener at Hialeah Park
March 4 apparently rested today
on the report of three veterinarians
who ordered him out of a prep
sprint yesterday, thereby starting a
controversy.
just before the race the veterina-
rians contended the SABBATH horse
was injured, but SABBATH, dissenting
vigorously, invited the crowd over
the loud-speaker to stay and watch
Alsab run anyway in public dem
onstration of his fitness.
Appears Fit in Trial.
AS the shadows fell across the
deserted stands few hundred peo-
pie saw the horse which had won
s349,870 for the SabathS breeze the
three-quarterS in a fiat :16.
And the jock didn't urge him
or touch him with the whip" SABBATH
declared afterward, while the doc
tors punched and prodded at the
horses left foreleg, which may or
may not be injured HE was run
ming alone in the middle of the
track. Being horse that loves
competition, he would have won that
race today by several lengths"
The veterinarians said nothing
except that a written report will
be filed today with the track stew
ards
That report will decide Alsab's
future at Hialeah. He was being
pointed for the rich Widener as
the best beginning in his campaign

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Don Hutson,
now on the Green, Bay Packers
coaching staff, can look back on
1943 as the most unusual season in
his record -crusted football career.
The slender pass-receiving genius
had to wait IA years before expert
encing the satisfaction of running a
long way for a touchdown. On No
vember IA, against the Chicago
Cardinals, Hutson intercepted a
pass, cut to the sidelines for IS
yards, then zigzagged down the
center of the field like rudderless
boat. Finally he rammed into the
end zone, "a yards from his starting
point.
Longest Run Of His Career.
1t was the third time in nine years
of pro ball he had actually run for
| a touchdown, although he had
counted SO times a National Foot
ball League lifetime record-after
snagging passes. It was the longest
scoring run he ever had accom-
plished-in high school, with the
University of Alabama or with the
| Packers.
In what probably was his final
season as a player, Hutson received
Al passes-1l for touchdowns-las
fall to win the receiving title Tor the
third straight year and also made
lit points to win the scoring cham
pionship for the fourth time in a
row. On October 81 against New
York he surprised even himself by

Tribe Manager, Says
He's Ready 10 Go

CLEVELAND, Feb. 23.-Lou Bou-
dreau, the Cleveland Indians 26-
year-old manager, may be the first
major league pilot to be drafted in
the present war.
I'm ready to go-just like the rest
of EN-" Lou said at Chicago after
his reclassification to IA by his
Harvey Gll) draft board.
He has no idea how soon he will
be called, the youngest of big league
managers and one of the outstand-
ing infielderS said today. -.
Leo Durocher, Brooklyn Dodgers
manager, was rejected in the spring.
and the next youngest major league
boss is Joe Gro in of the Boston Red
Sox, who wilJ be SO in October.
Father Of Two Children.
Boudreau, who has led American
League shortstops in fielding since
1910, his first full season in the
majors, will be 27 in July. He is
married and the father of two
children. .--
The Indians manager came to the
Tribe late in the 1889 season via
Buffalo, to which he had been OPP
toned. He became the youngest
major league PILOT when he took
over the Indians in 1912.
Ray Mack's decision to remain on
his war job. reported three weeks
ago, and the possible drafting of
Boudreau would break up what
sports scribes have called the great
est double-play combination in the
major leagues. Lost year Boudreau
set an American League record for
participation in double plays.
Expected to Use Youths.
At Chicago, the youthful pilot said
earlier in speaking of the Indians
status, Where we will get the per-
sonnel do not know for sure, but
I do know we will keep a team on
the field and continue the game of
baseball" He reported 13 Tribes
men were in war plant work and
six were 4-F's.
Naturally we will have to use
kids before this season is over. In
some ways the situation offers
youngsters the opportunity of life
time" Boudreau remarked Never
before have talented youths received
the change to try out for big league
clubs they are getting now. Yet in
some ways this can backfire to the
youngsters disadvantage. 1t is
harmful to start kid in the majors
before he is ready for fast compe-
tition."
