Dave Herman. publicist for the
Turner management, said the ad-
vance sale for last nights rained-
out engagement was the greatest
for a local rassling bill since the
early 193Os.
Not since the days when Jim
Londos and Rudy Dusek used to
pack 'em in at the ball park has
there been such a public response, :"
Herman said today. If the show
had gone on We would have had
10000 people on hand. Turner's
won't hold more than $500. The
Griffith Stadium switchboard was
Swamped with calls from people
wondering if the show would 60 on.
The gate could have gone as high
as $4,000"
Public interest in the card was
built up over the private feud be-
tween Galento and Baer, dating
from their heavyweight boxing
match in 1910. Baer knocked out
Tony and they've been knocking
each other since.

Cooper Dies Of Injury
In Speedboat Mishap;
Held Many Marks
BY the Associated Press

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Jack
(Popsl Cooper, one of the worlds
most famous speedboat racers, died
last night as the result of racing
accident on Lake Ontario. His age
was listed as 68 at the hospital
where he died.
At one time or another he had
held every world record in the 225-
|cubic-inch hydroplane class.
Pops" was injured fatally when
his boat tipped out of the water
and overturned on him during the
Picton (Ontario) regatta August 2
In that last race he was pitting his
135-cubic-inch class Blue Blazes
against the 225-inchers.
Pops" built many of his own
boats in garage at Kansas City
Mo, where he was prosperous
trucking operator. He delighted in
flashing his $4,000 craft across a
finish line ahead of larger boats
that had cost 10 to 20 times more
He got the racing bug in 1929
after watching his son Jack, jr.,
creep around a Minnesota lake in
an outboard. He switched to the
inboard type in 1886.
In the years that followed he set
one record after another in his 225-
class craft.
He set world records in the Ma
tional Sweepstakes of 1887 and 1898,
the Picton Regatta of 1941 and the
Gold Cup Regatta the same year.
Many of his victories were scored
over Gold Cup class boats of 600
cubic inches or more. capable of
500 to $500 horsepower. His 225-
class boats, Tops I, Tops II and
Tops III, developed only ITS horse
power.
His time of 91.8 miles an hour over
1-mile, direction course at
Salton Sea, Calf, in 1941, still is
recognized as world record by the
American Power Boat Association.
Pops" was born in Birmingham,
Ala. His age had been almost a
family secret. Some writer's had
guessed he was IS eight years ago.
He spent most of his life in Kan
sas City, hundreds of miles from a
body of smooth water large enough
to test his boats.
With him when he died were his
wife and their three children, Jack,
jr., and Thomas of Kansas City
and Mrs. E. D. Weeks of Des Moines,
Iowa. Both his sons are speedboat
racers. Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Weeks
are racing enthusiasts

HambIeionianv Victor S
Owner Wayered on
Entering Demon
By the Associated Press

GOSHEN, N. Y, Aug. ia check
which almost wasn't sent proved a
happy, profitable investment today
to Harrison Hoyt. The owner OF
the 194S Hambletonian winner,
took a 5000 gamble and cleaned up
s32, ,5O015.
The Demon, who proved to be just
that yesterday as he tipped to
straight-heat victories in the 23d
Hambletonian at Good Time Track,
almost wasn't nominated to Amer
ica's premier trotting derby.
Demon Hanover captured the first
heat before record 10000 crowd,
then returned an hour later to re-
peat the process, even more easily
than in the initial trial. The son
of Dean Hanover led all the way
both times, with Coldstream Studs
Rollo and c. NJ Saunders Egan
Hanover second and third on both
occasions.
Hoyt disclosed later that when
it came time for the initial 5000
payment in 1916 to nominate for
the Hambletonian, he debated
whether it was worth the chance.
Demon Hanover had cost him $4,000
in the Harrisburg Pa) yearling
sale, but there was nothing to indi-
cate he was any world beater.
"I turned it over in my mind, then
put the check in an envelope and
dropped it in the mail quickly be-
fore I had a chance to reconsider" !"
he said.
Hoyt, a 38-year- -old Bethel, Conn,
hat manufacturer, is the first anna
teur driver ever to capture the har-
ness worlds most priced race.
The professional drivers were
skeptical about man who had been
training and driving only a little
more than four years. Winning the
grueling Hambletonian is hercu-
lean task. Many pros never have
done it,
But Hoyt took the gamble, re-
fused a $4,000 offer for Demon
Hanover several weeks ago, and
came through like one of the pros.
The Hanover CPa) Shoe Farm,
breeder of the Demon, made the
offer, but Hoyt said no. After his
smashing triumph yesterday, how
ever, Hoyt said he might consider
selling now, but Hanover was re-
ported not interested. Part of the
bargain was consideration OF the big
Hambletonian cash reward.
Hoyt has the winners pot, while
Hanover recently purchased Hoot
Mon, the 1947 Hambletonian winner
for stud purposes, paying $50,000.
AS a 2-year-old Demon Hanover
wasn't nominated for most of the
top stakes in his division, so the colt
earned only $3.50. AS a 3-year-old
however, the Demon has been
sweeping the big ones, and came up
to the Hambletonian with total
earnings of $17,846.
Demon Hanover was clocked in
the second mile heat at 2:02 fiat,
after touring the triangular Good
Time course in 2:0315 in the initial
heat.
The odds-on favorite, his payof
for the first trial was 1910, $3.50
and $3.50, and for the second, $3.50,
$3.50 and $210.

Turk EIafed as Skins
Display Promise Of
Stiff Pass Defense
By q stoff Correspondent Of The star

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12-Pass
defense may not be the terrifying
bogey it was for the Redskins last
year if the first test of the squads
1948 aeriel defenses yesterday was
not misleading.
Coach Turk Edwards was elated
by the performance of all his backs
and was particularly pleased with
Harry Gilmer in the safety posi-
ton, Tom Mont. HoWie Livingston
and Tom Farmer at halfback. No
tackling was permitted and when
a potential receiver and defensive
man were in danger of colliding.
the latter was waved off
For the first day I thought the
boys looked good" commented Ed
wards. The ends had nobody hold
ing them back and the backs had
plenty Of time to scatter for passes
and still the defense held them well
in check. 1t looks like We may have
solved one of our biggest problems.
Gilmer. of course, had good
reputation as defensive man
against passes at Alabama, and ditto
for Livingston, who, while with the
Giants, was constant obstacle to
the Tribes overhead game. But
Mont, who didn't have chance to
really show his ability last season,
Is beginning to measure up as
keyman in the teams defensive
plans. Mont, too, can handle the
quarterback role on offense, if need
ed, and would be insurance for that
position.
Backs and ends spent a full
hour working on this phase of de-
fense and will get a more severe
test today when Edwards sizes his
East-West squad on one another
in a scrimmage under game condi-
tions. Passing is expected to
feature the offense, what with most
of the squad hobbling around with
minor injuries. Even Sam Baugh
has a blistered heel.
The Redskins, peculiarly, are hav-
ing a wave of clumsiness. Nearly
half the cripples have been stepped
on by a teammate, although End
Doug Turley hurt his hip when he
twisted it while throwing simple
shoulder block into a tackle Floyd
LaWhorn added an injured shoulder
to two banged-up knees and Bill
Gray has a sinner of delicate blue
hue.
Emphasis on passing today was
no indication it wouldn't be a rough
session. for Edwards has not been
swayed from his decision to treat
'em' rough and get his men tough
ened up early this season. But
looking at different pass combi-
nations will be one of the main
items The er-Mont-Living-
ston trio took long lead over
the others yesterday for top billing
and with AL Demao or Clyde Ehr-
hardt, Dick Poillon and Bill Gray
as line hackers the Skins should
have a potent secondary defense
Poillon undoubtedly will be used
extensively in this position this
year despite his seeming lack of
heft. He weighs 1875 but will fight
his weight in wildcats and is one
Of the teams best tacklers.

A cOTrelatiVe passage from the

vast forever, in the Science and
truth of being, the only facts are
