Gave GIisson Start
TO Fame on Turf
By tho Assoeinted Press

NEW YORK, July 19.-G. P.
Glisson's the name-the hottest
little jockey to hit the "big apple"
in many a moon.
Just a year ago. Gordon Preston
Glisson rode his first winner at
Longacre race track near Seattle,
Wash.
Today this blue-eyed. fuzzy
checked youngster who will be 10
on October 81 is the rage of the
metropolitan New York tracks
known to turf people as the "big
apple"
Glisson, with 1856 winners this
year. is the leading rider in the
Nation. He's II ahead of Logan
Batcheller, now riding at Chi
cago.
Gordon lost his fve-pound
weight allowance for apprentice
riders July 2. one year after he
had his first winner. But it hasn't
made any difference. He keeps
bringing 'em home. Glisson was
the leading rider for the Empire

Rode Mules and Ponies.
I've done better since I lost the
allowance, he said. Il don't feel
any different, and the horses seem
to run just the same"
Gibson, native of Winnsboro,
S. c., is under contract to ride for
Clifford Mooers, Texas oil and
cattleman, until November /, 1851.
Glisson was IA when his mother
moved to Seattle.
Il had no idea of riding. never
rode anything but mules and
ponies on the farm" Gordon said
Il met Ralph King, who owned
some horses, and he gave me a
tryout. That started it."
Glisson started riding at Oma-
has Ak -Sar-Ben track last sum-
mer, but failed to get into the
money on five mounts there. From
Omaha he returned to Longacres
Then to California, where he was
the leading rider at Tanforan and
Santa Anita.
Biggest Victory on Coast.
Came the 100000 Santa Anita
Derby and Glisson's greatest tri-
umph. Both Eddie Arcaro and
Johnny Longden turned down
chances to ride Old Rockport for
Mooers. Glisson got the job, went
out and beat Olympia and all the
rest and collected $94,700 for the
boss. The 10 per cent cut for
Glisson wasn't hard to take.
1T doesn't require q lot of brains
to ride" Gordon said. Just a
little patience and judgment is all
it takes"

as far as the younger boys are
concerned" said Ted Atkinson

Graziano suffered the wound
early in the first session from what
appeared to be an unintentional

Graziano managed to drop Ag-
nosta twice for nine counts before
putting him out for the full count
at 2:19 in the second round.
Agnosta's three falls came after
Graziano battered his head with
heavy lefts and rights. Both bat

The Male Angle
The Male Angle
Color in the Sports Ensemble
By Harry keene


A stiff hangover or color blind
ness are the only excuses for q
man to look disjointed by wearing
clothes in colors that fighter at
least aren't friendly with each
other. This is especially true of
sportswear which invariably COM
bines two or more garments of diff
ferent fabrics and colorS, and
hence it is particularly important
to know. the correct combinations,
color wise, in this type of cloth
ing.
Combining agreeable, smart
looking colors is not an art, it is
habit which can be acquired
through eye-training and practice
once you've learned the funda-
mental formula.
Select Dominant Garment
For example. you are about to
choose an outfit consisting of
sport coat, pair of slacks and a
sport shirt. The first principle is
to determine what the dominant
garment of the ensemble is :.
that is, which single garment
catches the eye first and occupies
the most space on your body.
When a coat is worn, it is the
dominant garment, and it is
around the coat that the rest of
the ensemble Is formed. In the
sport ensemble consisting Of slacks
and a sport shirt, the slacks be-
come the dominating garment
with the sport shirt taking second
ary place.
Getting more specific, If you
choose your dominant garment in
tan, then choose secondary gar
ments in brown, yellow, deep
green or maroon. If the dominant
garment incorporates grey, then
ensemble 1t with navy, maroon,
yellow, bright tones of red, green,
contrasting lighter or darker greys
If the main garment is in the blue
family, other garments worn with
1t should be in contrasting lighter
or darker shades of blue dight
blue slacks look smart with navy

yellow.
Patterns Shouldn't Fight.
It is alright to combine two
garments which are both pat
termed If the patterns are in sharp
contrast and do not fight" with
each other. While an indistinct
classic herringbone coat looks
smart when worn with vivid pat
termed sport shirt, it is not rec
commended that a plaid coat be
worn with a plaid sport shirt, since
these are different patterns of
similar character which provide
little contrast and violent conflict.
Here's how to apply these prin-
etples: You have chosen q tan

Only 10 per cent of these funds
annually is permitted for admin
istration and enforcement, and
from this amount must be de-
Quoted the Post Office Depart
ment's costs Of printing and dis
tributfng the stamps, leaving ac-
tually only about 8 per cent.
Duck stamps first were put on
sale on August IA, 1884. and that
year some 635. 900 were sold. Over
the years, through 1948. peak
sales amounted to just over
$4,000, 900 in the top year, not the
$5,OO0,0o0 which Mr.. Weichel
claims. Ten per cent Of 81 200, 900
is 100000, which in the peak
year had to cover the cost of en-
forcement of the shooting laws
and administration costa small
enough sum when one considers
that this has to be spread all over
the United States.
Mr.. Weichel also asserts that
Wildlife Service revenues already
are at a peak, claiming that IN
addition to appropriations from
Congress it has an unexpected
balance of about $14.000,000 in its
treasury representing revenues
from taxes on the sale Of hunting
equipment, and expects to collect
$lO,O00,000 more this year. This
$14,000,000 is not in the treasury
of the Wildlife Service. 1t is Pitt
man Robertson money and in the
Treasury earmarked for wildlife
restoration, etc., through the
States under the Pittman-Robert-
son Act.
The balance is not unexpected,
but has been building up over
some years, and the reason 1t is
so large is that Congress has
been niggardly in appropriating
from this fund. This money Is
not used by the Fish and Wild
life Service at all, nor does 1t
collect one penny of it. There
Is not room enough in this col
umn to explain the whole working
of the PR Act, but we assure
you that the only chance the
Wildlife Service has to get a
penny of it is if some State,

priation under the law, fails to

that Dimitrov had been purged

Study Transfer Plan

Board Of Education members
took tour of the Webster Ameri-

learn why School Supt. Hobart M.
Corning wants TO transfer the
students there TO quarters in the
Adams Elementary School.
James T. Gallahorn. principal
of the Webster school, showed
members crowded conditions in
the old 12-room building at Tenth
ard H streets NV.
"It is here that these foreign
born persons get their first con-
tact with American schools and
customs" he explained. They
should have the best"
900 Students
The Webster School uses a class
room for an auditorium. This
room has a capacity of about so.
There are more than 500 students
at the school in the day and
nearly 400 at night. Everything is
crowded, and the program Is
handicapped by the lack of proper
facilities, Mr.. Gallahorn said.
The plan DR.. Corning has rec
commended to the Board Of Edu-
cation is this:
Webster students would be shift
ed to one wing of. the Adams Ele-
mentary School. which has 26
rooms, less than half Of them IN
use. The other wing would be
used for the $40 pupils now at
Adams. Another so pupils at
Adams, in special sight-saving and
hard-of -hearing classes. would be
transferred to other locations.
Plan Meets Opposition.
The plan calls for one group Of
special classes at the Bancroft
Elementary School, Eighteenth
and Newton streets NV, and the
other In the new Tyler Elementary
School, near Twelfth and G streets
Sc.
Opposition to the move has come
from members of the Adams PTA
and parents Of children in the spe-
cial classes. For this reason the
school board has withheld action
on DR.. Corning's recommendation.
