NEW YORK, Mar. 8.-Automatic
Jack Kramer and golden-haired
Pauline Betz assumed complete
command of American amateur ten
mis- today when they captured the
national indoor. championships and
piled them on top of the turf court
singles titles they won last summer.
The $500 fans who converged on
the Seventh Regiment Armory for
the finals of the 44th annual tour
nament may have seen the begin
ming of two-way universal grand
slam. The two Los Angeles cham
picns have dedicated themselves to
winning all the major titles of the
world in 1857, which they hint will
be their last year in the amateur
game.
Kramer was at his sparkling best
as he wrapped up the mems singles
titles for the first time with a
crushing straight-set triumph over
young Bob Falkenburg, the national
intercollegiate champion from Los
Angeles, 6-1, 60, 60.
Kramer Complete Master.
Miss Betz, who also numbers the
Wimbledon championship among
her present title possessions, was
nearly as impressive in the feminine
finale where she defeated Doris
Hart Of Coral Gables, Fla, 60.
rs.
Kramer, hero of Americas sue
cessful Davis Cup conquests in
1916, was the complete master oil
his fellow townsman, who hac
reached the final with an upset
victory over second-seeded Billy
Talbert.
He handled Falkenburg's light
ming service as If he owned it
Neither Falkenburg's cannon -ball
serve nor his fine cross-court shots
posed any problems for Kramer.
And whenever Falkenburg tried to
go to the net Kramer passed him
expertly with swing shots that
dipped into the corners as If mag
netized.
After watching Kramer take all
except the fourth game in the first
set, Falkenburg held service twice
IN the second as they divided the
first four games. but Kramer swept
through the next four in a row.
Falkenburg held service on the first
game of the last set and again in
the seventh, but that's the best he
could do.
Pauline in Select Group.
Miss Betz also dominated the play
all the way as she returned to the
throne she has occupied three times
previously, in 1899. 194L and 1943.
Four-time outdoor champion, Miss
Betz Is only the third woman in
tennis history to wear the indoor
and outdoor crowns at the same
time.

Assoeiosed Press Sports Writer


ARCADIA, Calf, Mar. s.-on
Trust captured the 100000 Santa
Anita Derby today in a convin- ing
victory over the 100000 bay colt,
Stepfather, and II other rival s.
year-olds in the 10th running of the
event before $4,000 fans.
Drawing the curtain on the Santa
Anita winter meeting, the Califor-
nie-bred chestnut colt finished the
mile and one quarter grind three
quarters of a length in front of w.
:. Sickle, Stepfather's stablemate.
with Tropical Sea a surprise third
and Stepfather fourth.
On Trust, owned by E. o. Stice
and Sons of nearby Eagle Rock,
Calf, and second choice in the bet
ting to the Harry M. Warner entry
of Stepfather and w. L. Sickle, ran
a smart race with Jockey Johnny
Longden in the saddle, making his
move to take command as the field
entered the stretch.
Crowd Sets Derby Record.
Eddie Arcaro brought w. L. Sickle
UP TO challenge the handsome cnest-
nut, but couldn't overhaul the speedy
winner.
The winner, timed at 2.03H, paid
$6.10, $3.50 and $500. The place posi-
ton paid $290 and $3.50 and Charles
H. Howard's Tropical Sea paid $4.40.S'
On Trust, winner of $83 ,545 going
into today's race, added $81,750 net
in a race that carried gross value
of $127.8
A total of $781 800 was wagered on
the outcome, breaking last years
Derby figure of $588,750. The crowd,
less than the 10000 anticipated, was
1000 more than Derby Day in 1916
and 5000 more than the Derby
record Of 5000 set in 1888.
Sparky Cannon, a long shot, set
the pace in the early stages, but
gave way to U-Time going down the
back stretch as On Trust hung back
within striking range. Stepfather,
the 100000 buy in the Louis B.
Mayer auction 10 days ago, made a
move in the latter phases, but it was
his running mate, w. l.. Sickle,
coming up on the outside, who came
forward to collect second money.
The order of finish behind the
first four was Hormone, U-Time,
Fullhouse, Hubble Bubble, Grey
Skies, Sparky Cannon, Beau Nash,
Faucon and Oversight.
On Trust Impresses Jockey.
On Trust, son of the Mayer Stall
lion, Alibhai, and one Of eight Cali
fornia- bred 3-year-olds in the race,
has been nominated for the Ken
lucky Derby.
Longden, leading rider at the
meeting, declared after the race,
"On Trust proved to me today he's
a real Derby colt. He honestly was
just loafing at the finish. He had
his ears pricked and was full Of run.
If he goes after the Kentucky Derby
and other big races coming up,
think he has an excellent chance"
Jackie Westrope, who rode Step
father, merely said. I'VE were just
outrun and we have no excuse"
Arcaro added that w. L. Sickle ran
a really fine race, but We just
couldn't catch the winner"
On Trust, now winner Of seven
races in 81 starts, was purchased
last year by Stice for an undis-
closed sum.
Stice, plumbing contractor, is the
leading money winner Of the meet
ing with well over 100000 to his
credit.
