Something's got to give or explode
tonight at King Pin when the pace
setting King Pin quint and the
second -place Rosslyn outfit meet in
one Of the seasons most important
mems major District League battles.
It is the final match between the
two super spin-spilling aggrega-
tions during the 1867 campaign.
Action starts at 1880.
In two previous engagements,
Rosslyn has whipped King Pin, 81,
each time. But in spite of these
lickings King Pin most of the sea-
son has held precarious one or
two game lead over the challenger.
Only sweep would give King Pin
a SD edge for the season, but it's
a safe bet that Lindsey Stott, King
Pin team captain, and his cohorts,
Paul Perkins, Billy Towles, Gene
Hargett and Paul Jarman, would set
tie for a 2-1 victory over the Ross
lyn combination of Billy Stalcup,
captain; Francis Robertson, Kelly
Beach, Cletus Pannell and Lou
Jenkins.
The teams enter the fray with
King Pin holding one-game lead.
King Pin has won 43 and lost %,
while Rosslyn has 80 wins and q
losses. Not until Rosslyn rolls Lucky
Strike in a postponed match at
Rosslyn Saturday night can a true
standing be made.

Sklarz, Cranston & Co. from G. q.
will be paired against A. U. in the
semif1nals, but most dopesters can't
see the possibility. The Cards meet
Loyola in their debut and, while c,
U. is, on a hot four game winning
streak, Jim Lacy and his playmates
seem to carry too much powder to
hope for a G. U. victory.
Loyola has national aspirations
and already has filed application for
entry in the National Intercollegi-
ate Basket Ball Association cham
pionships at Kansas City later this
month, and winning their owr, con-
ference crown is the Greyhounds'
first requisite.
Mount st. Mary's, with a powerful
offense built around Mike Russo. is
the dark horse that may spoil every-
thing for both A. U. and Loyola.
The Mountaineers tangle with Bruce
Ferguson's in-and-out Western
Maryland squad in their debut and
figure to win. Johns Hopkins and
Randolph h-Macon are In the same
bracket, and neither seems to be in
the Mounts class. Heaviest firing

expected to be in the upper bracket,
which may produce an upset as well

Jockey Atkinson Near
A,oOO,oOO Mark in
Nine Years on Turf
By the Assoeioisd Pres.

MIAMI, Fla, Mar. 5.-Ted Atkin-
son. who grew up in Brooklyn and
knew little about horses until he
gave UP his job in a bottling plant,
soon will have brought home mounts
to win $4,000, 600.
A check today revealed that
horses ridden by the hard-working
Canadian-born rider have won
$3,s31. .198 in nine seasons on the
turf.
Atkinson was the leading Jockey
at Hialeah Park during the 40-day
meeting, which closed yesterday,
booting home "a winners In 40 days.
His income now is far cry from
the $35 a week he earned in the
bottling plant 10 years ago.
He might have passed the four
million milestone at Hialeah had
not a suspension knocked him out
OF a chance at the closing days
rich stakes. His mount bumped
another horse last Friday and At
k1nson was set down for the re-
mainder Of the meeting.
Atkinson never has been q "reg-
ular" rider OF top horse, which
means he has come up the long
hard way.
I've never had a horse which
got good and stayed good, even for
a couple of years." he said. "By
that I mean never had a Count
Fleet or a Whirlaway."
He has ridden some of the Ma
tion's better performers before and
after their peak, but not when they
were winning the big purses.
Atkinson lives with his wife and
daughter, Cathy, in suburban Miami
Springs. He was born in Toronto,
Canada, 80 years ago. His family
moved to Corning. N. Y, and later
to Brooklyn, where he got Job in
a bottling plant. He was small for
that type Of work, and decided to
try the turf.
He reported to the Greentree
Stable farm at Red Bank, N. j., in
1887. That year he had two mounts,
but no winners. Since then he has
had $3.50 mounts, with 1,430 firsts,
1927 seconds and 1,148 thirds.
He will be back in the saddle when
Gulfstream Park opens this after
noon, and should soon become the
third rider In American turf history
to win $4,000,000. Johnny Longden,
the regular" Of several big winners,
including Count Fleet, and Eddie
Arcaro, Whirlaways driver, already
have passed that mark.

Republicans Warned
Against Big Cuts
In Defense Funds
BY the Associated Press

Without taking sides in the
widening Republican fight over
tax cutting, Chairman Andrews
of the House Armed Services
Committee flashed a "go-slow"
signal today to his economy bent
Republican colleagues.
Mr.. Andrews urged specifically
that the Senate House Budget Com
mittee hold of any possible slash in
national defense funds until it hears
directly from Gen. Eisenhower,
Army chief of staff.
Taking note of reports that Re-
publican members of the joint con-
gressional group are considering a
81, 900 900, 900 reduction in President
Tr,man's $11, 200, 10000 Army Navy
allotment, Mr.. Andrews told news
papermen:
II am against any such fiat cut.
We've simply got to look at this
thing carefully. So I am suggesting
that the Budgetary Committee con-
suit Gen. Eisenhower"
Report Due Saturday.
The Budget Committees report is
due Saturday, under terms of the
Congressional Reorganization Act
That law charges the group with
studying the Presidents budget
recommendation and then fixing Its
own ceiling on Federal spending.
The armed services cut was listed
tentatively last week as the biggest
single item in a COP program aimed
at trimming Mr.. Truman's $37, $780,
100000 budget to $32, 900, ,0oo, 900.
That program is tied directly with
Republican promises to trim income
taxes while still whiting at the
national debt.
The Republican tax cutting drive
bumped into powerful opposition
from an unexpected quarter over
the week end, however, when Chair
man Taft of the Senate COP Policy
Committee announced he will op-
pose any reduction before July /.
Fails to Specify Method.
Senator Taft's idea is that any
new tax rates should be made to
apply with the start of the next
fiscal year, rather than during the
current year which already is
tagged for a $4,000. .o0o, 900 deficit.
While emphasizing that he is con-
vinced income taxes can be cut a
net of 20 per cent, the Ohio Senator
refused to commit himself on any
specific method.
Chairman Knutson of the House
Ways and Means Committee has
insisted on a 20 per cent across
the board" slash, retroactive to jan
uary 1. His committee has sched-
uled hearings February 8 on his bill
Evening star., 1947-02-10

Regardless of the size of income, any
family can have more happiness and
fewer worries by planning the use Of
the family money.
First: provide in advance for payments
coming due, such as rent, taxes, mortgage
charges, life insurance and other insurance.
The easiest way is to bank small amounts
each payday that will add up to the totals
when due.
Second: set aside something extra each
payday in the savings account until you
build up an emergency fund.

declared Senator Taft,s views won't
make particle Of difference"
But several other Republic

Connecticut and Representatives
Engel OF California, and Allen Of IL
|Iinois-liave taken sharp exception
to the Knutson bill. They contend
|low-income groups should receive q
larger percentage cut than persons
in the higher brackets.
Fights Veteran Cuts.
The Republican efforts to clamp a
budget ceiling of $500, ,o00, 900 below
Mr.. Truman's figure were compli-
Gated further by these develop
ments:
Chairman Rogers OF the House
Veterans Committee told reporters
she Is prepared ito fight for every
cent" due ex-servicc men and will
support any cuts in Veterans Ad-
ministration funds only If convinced
they will not cripple the agency's
service.
Secretary of State Marshall's call
for universal military training to
back UP American foreign policy
with real power gave some indication
of reviving an issue that most legis-
lators had marked as dead. The
Presidents $37, 500. 900 900 budget In
cludes no funds for a full-scale
training program.

ployes." The proposal has been made
