When George Woolf plunged
from his saddle al Santa Anita
Thursday death took the surviv-
ing member of the greatest horse
and jockey partnership that ever
brought turf fame TO Detroit.
A memorial plaque near the
stables of Fred NJ. Alger Jr. in
Crosse Pointe now marks the
resting place of Azucar, the chest
nut gelding upon which Woolf
scored his first big triumph.
Azucar, which won the Santa
Anita Handicap and Sl09.500 for
her Detroit owner on Feb, %,
1885. died here seven years later
at the age of IA. He had won
S159.725 during a career which
saw him first sweeping over the
hurdles at Belmont and Saratoga
for Joseph f. Widener, then thun-
dering to victories on the flat for
Alger.
Azucar died peacefully from
natural causes but the steel
handed little man who rode
him TO victory went on TO tri-
umph after triumph until he met
his fate in a race that ironically
was juSt a program filler.

S250,OOO FOR CRoNIN
Only Joe Cronin, manager OF
the Boston Red SoX, and Dizzy
Dean ever brought more money
in the player market. Owner Tom
Yawkey shelled out S250,000 and
shortstop Lyn Larry to the WASH
ington Senators for Cronin while
the Chicago Cubs paid the Cardi-
nails S187 900 for Dean, who de-
veloped a sore arm shortly there
after and eventually forced his re-
tirement from baseball.
The sa e of the hard hitting
catcher climaxed a busy day for
the Cardinals. for earlier they had
sold infielder Jimmy Brown to the
Pittsburgh Pirates for an esti-
mated $4,000.
In announcing the sale, Stone
ham revealed that the Cardinals
accepted the Giant offer - they
also had bids from the Philadel-
phia Phillies and Boston Braves
because it was not contingent
upon Cooper being discharged
from the service.
toneh m said owner Sam
Breadon of the Cardinals advised
him that Cooper, who is stationed
at Lambert Field, st. Louis, now
has 81 points-four short Of the
lower navy discharge point score
which went into effect today-and
expected his discharge in mid
April.
CAME UP IN 40
Walker came up with the Cards
in 1910. one year later than his
brother. He was sent out for fur
ther seasoning in the st. Louis
farm system, however, and brought
back up in 1912 when he hit .245
in 65 games. He became the
Cardinals regular catcher in 1912.
He enjoyed his best season in
1943 when he hit .319, batting in
81 runs. He hit .317 and knocked
in 72 runs in 1914. and was sitting
.389 for four games in 1945 before
he was inducted into the navy.
Together with his pitching
brother, Cooper staged a rebellion
against the Cardinals last spring.
B 9th Coopers had signed 1945
contracts calling for S12,500 and
went on strike when they learned
that Shortstop Martin Marion had
received a contract calling for
$13,500. The Coopers then de-
manded increases bringing their
salary up to SIS. 900 each.
Before the squat Bile was
Strengthened out, Walker went
