Special Prizes in Tournament

With the entry deadline and

Friday night at Turner's Arena un-
der sponsorship Of the Boys Club

portance today with the announce
ment that the District Boxing Com

run as q ringer" and his jockey
owner and trainer were barred from
racing for life.
Romano, wealthy Sydney night
club proprietor, purchased the colt
and spent nearly five years in a
successful fight to clear his name.
The horse started big-time racing
this year and his Is straight VIC
tories exceeded by one the record
of Phar Lap.
He was scheduled to come to the
United States to race in the $100, 900
Santa Anita Handicap-succeSsor OF
the race won by Phar Lap-when
he broke down.
Previous Record $265,000.
If the reported sale price is cor
rect, scarborough will be the most
expensive stallion ever to stand at
stud. The Thoroughbred Racing
Association here said that the pre-
vious record price was the $265, 900
paid in 1920 for August Belmont's
Tracery.
Even the great Man O. War, in
whose home State Bernborough will
sire new winners, commanded no
such price. Bred by Belmont, Big
Red was sold to Samuel B. Riddle
as a yearling for only $1,000.
Tracery, the stallion holding the
official sales price record for horse
sold for breeding purposes, was sold
by Belmont to the Argentine breed
er, Simeon Unzu.
Next in line to Tracery for costly
horsefesh is Blenheim II, sold by
the Aga Khan in 1886 to an Ameri-
can syndicate for about $225, 900.
His most famous son was Whirla-
way, all-time winning hold
er, who earned more than $500 900.

Lions Face Busy Spell
After Christmas Rest

Washington's Lions were celebrat-
ing Christmas in their Canadian
homes today, but return here to-
morrow to open final preparation
for three Eastern Hockey League
matches in as many days.
The team will be host to the
Baltimore Clippers on Uline ice Fri
day night at $3.50 o'clock; transfer
this rivalry to Baltimore Saturday
night, and invade Madison Square
Garden Sunday afternoon to en-
gage the New York Rovers.
The Clippers shut out the Lions
during their last visit here, SO, and
are bringing back the aces of that
game in Goalie Larry Frechette, who
made innumerable saves from diff
cult positions, and Billy Harmon,
brilliant center and the Eastern
Leagues scoring leader.
Coach Jack Riley, dissatisfied with
the Lions whitewashing by the Clip
pers and their 6-5 loss to the Boston
Olympics here last Monday night,
indicates that nothing less than de-
cisive victory over Baltimore Fri
day will satisfy him.

Caps Coach Warn!
OF 0verconfidence
On Big Week End

Washington's Capitols, victorious
in their last IA Basket Ball Associa-
ton of America games dating back
to their upset of the Stays in Chi
cago last November 16, today had
been warned by Coach Red Auer-
bach against anything resembling
overconfdence in important week
end tests.
Tomorrow night the Caps move
on to Providence, R. l., to play the
fast breaking and TRICKY Steam
rollers, and on Saturday night return
to Uline Arena for their eagerly
awaited showdown with the New
York Knickerbockers at $3.50 o'clock.
"We have a fine winning streak
in progress, and we want to extend
it as long as we can," Auerbach told
his players prior to laying off to
observe Christmas. Providence has
a smart and aggressive lineup we
can't we'll underestimate, and New
York will give us lots of trouble"
Capt. Bob Feerick, the Caps star
guard who sat out last Saturday
nights winning performance against
the Philadelphia Warriors here with
a sprained ankle, will return to the
lineup Saturday night, if not before.
Feerick has been a key man in the
current winning streak of the Cap
itols, who lost their only three starts
of the season earlier In the year
when a lame ankle forced him to
the sidelines.
The local pros winning streak
shows two victories each over De-
troit, Chicago, st. Louis, Philadel-
ptia, Providence and Toronto and
wins over Pittsburgh and Cleve-
land. They have not yet met the
Knickerbockers or the Boston Gel
tics
The Capitols have averaged ap-
proximately 70 points over their
14-game winning span as against
81 for the opposition.
Although he has appeared in six
less games than most of the other
top marksmen in the Basket Ball
Association of America. Philadel-
phia's Joe Fulks has taken over
the scoring leadership of the league.
Apparently the opposing clubs
haven't been able to figure way
to stop the lanky hook-shot artist.
for according to the official sta
tistics of the pro loop released
today Fulks had a total of 1865
points IN II games to the second
place figure of 352 racked up by
Detroit's Tan Miasek in % games.
Fulks had been pacing the cir
cult on the best average per game,
but this was the first time he has
been able to take over the pace
setting role in all offensive depart
ments of the game. He leads not
only in total points, but in most
field goals with 1875, most free
throws, 95, and best average, 21.4.
In addition he holds the league
record Tor most points scored in
single game, 81.

Rich Pro Grid Bids

Tucker, quarterback on Army's
great unbeaten football team, said
today he would not play professional
football despite several attractive
offers.
Tucker arrived here last night to
spend the Christmas holidays at his
home.
He told the Miami Herald he had
turned down several bids and that
he was not interested in pro grid
offers.
at was hard decision to make,
he said. Now that I've learned a
bit about playing the game. like 1t.
But I've definitely made up my
mind to stay in the Army. 1t has
trained me well and I feel that it's
the place for me-"
Tucker will be commissioned In
June and he hopes he will be able to
get into flight training.

fortunate, I'd like to study law and
get degree. The more I can learn,
the better equipped I will be to do a
good job. Some day, I hope to be-
come a military attache," he said.
Rumors that Glenn Davis and
Felix Doc) Blanchard, teammates
of Tucker, might accept pro grid
offers were brought to his attention.
"They might" he said. Neither
Glenn nor Doc has ever told me that
he intended to play pro football, but
they've both had offers"
He explained that cadets sign to
stay in the service eight years when
they enter the Point, and that to
leave they must have special per-
mission from the War Department.

Tennis Skill Against
-
Pals, Bromwich
By GoyIe Talbot
Assoeiotsd Press Sports Writer

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 25
The American Davis Cup team oi
John (Jake) Kramer and TED
Schroeder exuded confidence today
as they looked forward eagerly tc
coming to grips with the Australians
in the challenge round tomorrow.
Their confidence was shared by
their teammates, Gardnar Mulloy
Tom Brown and Frank Parker, who
predicted at least three-to-two
victory. They refused even to con-
cede the Australians the doubles, IN
which John Bromwich and Adrian
Quist generally are considered tops
Invaders Welcome Action.
The American squad spent long
and lonesome Christmas Day literal
ly counting the hours until Schroeder
squares of against Bromwich in the
opening singles match.
It has been nearly month and a
half since the Americans began their
argosy in quest Of the Davis Cup,
and they are all glad that the event
is at last to begin.
With a scorching sun and the
temperature hitting the century
mark, this probably is the hottest
Christmas the American squad ever
has experienced. The team had
Christmas dinner at the hotel and
then went out for final light prac-
tice workout at Kooyong Stadium.
Both the United States and Aus
tralian teams were permitted to
use the bright green center court
on which the matches will be con-
tested. Although the court Is IN
perfect condition the Americans
say it does not compare in texture
to Wimbledon or Forest Hills. The
weather forecast for all three days
on which the matches will be held
is hot and humid.
Both Kramer and Schroeder are
in fine shape. Kramer said the
slight foot injury he suffered two
days ago would not prevent him
from taking part IN all three
matches.
The American players think that
Schroeder may bury Australia s
chances at the very start by defeat
ing Bromwich. Schroeder said
after his loss to Bromwich in the
Victorian tournament that he felt
certain he could win II they me.
again.
However. Jack Crawford-perhaps
the best player Australia ever pro-
duced-made an interesting COM
ment of this point.
'It's a funny thing" he said
"but every player beaten by Brom-
wich feels the same way. BromWich
plays lust as good as he needs to
in order to win"
Kramer Ace Of Yankees.
The Americans feel for their part
that both Bromwich and Dinny
Pail are made to order for Kramer
and they consider these two singles
matches in the bag.
A crowd of 14,500-the largest
ever to watch Davis Cup match
will be packed into Kooyong when
the matches get under way. The
Australians are the most tennis
minded people in the world.
A special press stand has been
erected atop lofty Kooyong arena
to accommodate close to 100 CORE
spondents.
-Four radio stations will broad
cast play-by play description OF
the contest.
There has been little betting here
on the outcome.
