Texas John Turner Promising Trainer Of Thoroughbreds

Salem, N. H., Nov. 8-Custodians of the hall of fame reserved for trainers of thoroughbreds probably are up to their ears in pinochlo but they could do worse than cut out 8 niche for John Warren Turner.
 AS of this writing, MT Turner isn't keeping the likes of Ben Jones and Hirsch Jacobs awake nights, but he definitely is on the way.
 He was making out all right even before he enlisted in the Navy early in 1942, but what he has accom- plished since resuming tn status of a civilian has been super-sensation- al.
 When he completed service in naval aviation in June, the rangy Texan naturally returned to his trade. He had no difficulty reach ing a contractual understanding with the Behen brothers, Boston warehousemen, just then scouting about for an avocation.
 Their venture they labeled Old Orchard Farms, right pretty name. Alas, though, they had nary mount to slide in under their colors of Killarney green and white. But Turner soon corrected the situation. The mare, Shoshoni, was bought. for $500 Then they added Pilates Miss, Head Sea, Wise Chance and Navy.
 The last-named scooter proved a bargain of bargains. He carried a claim ticket of $4,0OO, but Turner had watched him run, liked what he saw and haltered the sturdy son of Annapolis.
 Money Back
 In his first start under the Boh- en-Turner aegis the admiral won the Columbus Day Handicap and Old Orchard Farms scooped in the purchase price and $500 extra Eight days later he captured the Springsteel Cap and steered an other $4,300 into the kitty.
 On Oct. 27 Navy sailed again, but required to carry l22 pounds, ht had to be satisfied with second money. It was a sizzling photo fin. ish but the camera showed that Navy was short neck back of Boy Soldier. However, his cut of tht melon was $l, 100 worth. Then, or the past weekend, he conquered 1T the Ossipee, churning past thu judges five lengths on top and thu eXchequer was enriched by $1 $50.
 The others in the stable hay, been earning their oats, too. Tn, fiVe-horse stable undoubtedly vii haul down it's share of winnings il the two weeks remaining of tn, Rocks meeting. Then, they'll mov, to Florida.
 There's not enough left of 194I to permit Turner to crowd into tn, top ten, but he has the winninI way and, as more proven perform CTS are added, he is expected b, good judges of conditioners to mak, the magic list in 1946.

Bogorus New HutSon Threot?

Chicago, Nov. 3.-(SpeciaD-The first genuine challenge in five sea- sons to Don Hutson's pass rece.v z. ing supremacy is developing at Washington where & new aerial combination of Sammy Baugh and Steve Bagarus rapidly is becoming the most feared offensive unit in the National Football league.
 Ironically enough the threat comes at time when rival play CTS claim the veteran Green Bay star is having his greatest season And Q rookie Is making it.
 Bagarus cut Hutson's margin last weekend moving up into second place with six receptions as the Redskins were eking out a victory of the Chicago Cardinals. The for mer Notre Dame star now has caught 23 passes against 32 for Hut son and with five more games tC play, he is in an excellent position to dethrone the Packers playing coach. Hutson has only four moro games to play. Play-off perform ances do not count in the indi- vidual championship races.
 Two other rockies came to the front last week official statistics revealed today. Henry Margarita the Chicago Bears fleet little back is in second place among ground gathers, just 24 yards behind Prank Akins of Washington, and Buist Warren of Pittsburgh, is in frs place among punt handlers.

Greco-Joniro Third Fight
 Friday Night
Special to The Democrat

New York, Nov. 8-Two first round knockouts, scored in prelim- mary matches at Madison Square Garden, served to start Johnny Greco off on New York ring ca reer which has seen him develop in- to one of the foremost attractions in recent welterweight division his tory.
 It was close to three years ago that Greco, a newcomer to New York rings from Montreal, electri- fled Garden fans by the manner in which he flatSened Harold Green and Bill Speary, each in the first round of siX-round prelims.
 Those two kayoes elevated Greco to the status of main event per- former and in his first such start, against Cleo Shans, attracted $30,- 600 into the Garden. A month later he faced Shans again and this time receipts reached $47,000.
 Shortly after the second bout with Shans, Greco entered the Canadian army and it wasn't until a year ago that he again appeared at the Gar den. Within space of three months he met Bobby Ruffin three times, the first fight drawing $56,- 900, the second $36,00O, and the third $96, 000
 During the past summer Greco opposed Tony Janiro twice at the Garden. The first meeting drew $69, 900 and the second, coming dur ing one of the most protracted heat spells of the summer, attracted $68, 800.
 Lost Two
 Greco hasn't won all his Garden bain event fights. He did defeat Shans twice but in his three meet ings with Ruffin he won the first drew in the second, lost the third He stands all even in his two ses- sions with Janiro, winning the first losing the second.
 Tomorrow night Greco faces Ja- miro for the third time and every indication points to another ban ner crowd.

COOPER, MARION, AND KUROWSKI ARE WANTED

Boston, Nov. 8(UP)-At least three St. Louis stars may be sought by their old boss Billy Southworth during the next few months in his desperate bid to produce pennants for the Boston Braves and end their 11-year baseball slump.
 Southworth, who switched his managerial talents from the Cardi- nals to the Braves for what may be the highest salary in the National league, is expected to talk with honeyed tongue to Catcher Walker Cooper, Shortstop Marty Marion and Third Baseman Whitey Kurow- ski. Cooper's big pitching brother Mort already is safe in the home of the Braves.
 Officially Southworth signed three-year contract with the Boston club yesterday at salary reported ly between $75,000 and $100,O00 for the next 36 months. Afterward, the 52-year-old manager admitted he'd like to make a few player deals with St. Louis-contending the Cards would have surplus of ma terial when all their men are re- leased from the service.
 Stolen?
 Arrival of Southworth on the Boston baseball horizon caused ugly rumors to be circulated in St. Louis that he had been stolen" from owner Sam Breadon of the Cards. But the Braves management de- nied such stories.
 Louis Perini, one of the Boston owners, said they did contact Southworth during the last World Series while he still was under con- tract to St. Louis. But he said Southworth refused to make any decision until released by Breadon "a release that ultimately was given by the Cards owner when he found it meant a salary boost of about $10,000 annually.

SWEDE LARSON FAMED NAVY COACH, DEAD

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 8-(UP)-Col. Emory Ellsworth (Swede) Larson, 46, former football coach at the U. s. Naval academy, died yesterday after a brief illness.
 Larson, attached to the U. s. Marines, was stricken while on visit to the Atlanta Naval base. The Navy did not disclose the cause of his death, but said he had been i'll for several days at the base hos pital.
 Mrs. Larson was at his bedside when he died, called in by Naval officials, after her husband was stricken.
 Larson. a tall, erect man of per- feet military bearing, was one of the heroes of the corps. In three years as player and three years as a coach at Annapolis, his team never lost a game to Army.
 And throughout his military ca reer he always was associated closely with football-until Nov. 29, l941 when his MiddieS defeated Army, 14-6. Surrounded by his vic- torious team in Philadelphia's mu- nicipal stadium, Larson said:
 "This will be the last football for me for quite a while, there's big ger game coming up and I'm going to be in it.
 Eight days later came Pearl liar bor. And SWede was soon of ito be in it."
 Larson always did like action and, in his third and last year on the Navy varsity, he was named to Walter Camps second all America team in 1921. That was the year he explained the Navy football team and still found time to be chosen on the first All-American lacrosse team. When he graduated in 1922 he received the Thompson trophy cut as the leading athlete of his class.
 Accepting commission in the Marines, Larson played with the All-Marine team at Quantico ir l922-23-24, and the next two years played and coached with the Paris Island Marines. In 1927 he coached the All-Navy team in Hawaii and the following season during his spare time served as line coach al the University of Hawaii.
 Then came two years in Nicar- agua and in 1881 he returned tc Paris Island as football coach. He was building reputation as grid tutor in 1885 and 1886 when he led the U. $. S. Pennsylvania team tC two consecutive fleet championship and in 1887 when he coached tho Sixth Marines in Shanghai. & much so that in 1888 he was brough back to the Naval academy as heae coach.
 Tn three years there his teams like the three on which he played never lost to Army in the Servic, classic. They defeated the Cadets 10-0, l4-0 and 14-6, and when h, left Crabtown for the Digger game his Middies had won 16 game against eight losses and three ties.
 A native of Monticello, Minn Larson after leaving the academ in January. l99, was assigned t the Naval War college. Newport, R T., for duty and instruction in tn command course. Following hi graduation from War college h was assigned to battleship in th

 Led by their queen, Donna Han sen. who is Miss Subways for NOV ember. 1945. they showed the faith that moves mountains" in the foot ball team from the Indiana sand dunes which they have adopted as their own. Miss Hansen, & tall, 2l-year-oid blonde said "of course I'm for Notre Dame and I think that they will win
 T don't know very much about football but Notre Dame just about always wins anyway, don't they The boys wouldn't let their New York friends down"

 Nolan, who classics himself as ar "upperclassman" among the alumn because he rides the Third avenue elevated. believes that the Irish ac' tually beat Navy and that if thu Midshipmen hadn't been "awfu lucky" the final score would have been 28 to instead of 6 to 6.
 Edward F. Hackett, a branch manager, who differs from most o his classmates" because he once knew a Notre Dame football play CT, says that the Irish look to mt to have more than an ever chance"
