Final Workouts Set
For or1ufChanpions;
Armed Hot Favorite
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Their
100000 off -again-on-again match
race apparently here to stay. Armed
and Assault each was scheduled
today to have one more workout
before they go to the post at Bel
mont Park Saturday.
Trainer Max Hirsch, who after
seeing Assault 60 through a spirited
jog yesterday morning changed his
mind and decided to run the King
Ranch champion, said an extensive
work was slated for tomorrow.
With Ben and Jimmy Jones ap-
parently satisfied that Calumet's
Armed is close to peak condition, a
flve-eighths of a mile speed test was
scheduled for the golden gelding
Friday. The distance of Saturdays
special is a mile and a quarter.
With Hirsch's apparent reluctance
for the race, the betting odds moved
even farther in Armed's favor. 1t
is believed that at post time Armed
would be less than 3 to 5, with AS
sault little better than even
money.
Meanwhile, Belmont Park off,
cials announced that reserved seats
for Saturday are virtually gone and
best estimates placed the crowd at
well over $4,000. The purse dis
tribution for the eight-race program
will hit Sl74,500, which Belmont
claims would be worlds record for

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The British

disgruntled sports writer's and fans,
has decided to subsidize sports
training in an effort to end the rout
of British teams in international
competition.
The Ministry of Education plans
