Hartack, Fifth Rider
To Win $50 in Year,
Siqhts 1854 Crown
BY the Assoeioied Press

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va, Dec.
19. The winningest jockey
who'll pull on a boot today is
Willie Hartack, a 22-year-old
Pennsylvania, looking for his
351st victory of the year.
But December 26, when Willie
Shoemaker returns from a two
week vacation and tries to ex-
tend his all-time record of 476,
Hartack once against will take
his place in the shadow.
Until then the Johnstown, Pa,
Jockey will find some satisfac-
ton in the knowledge that he's
one of only five riders to hit
the $50 mark in one year.
Hartack joined the circle yes
terday by plotting three winners
at Charles Town to continue his
phenomenal performance at this
meeting, which closes today.
Earlier during the session he
scored on four mounts in one
program three times within one
week.
"You know, it's kind of funny
to ride against a guy you've
never seen," Willie said. II
wouldn't know Shoemaker if he
walked through that door, but
I've followed his progress day
by day. He's got to be a good
rider"
Scored First Win in '52.
Shoemaker'S 476 victories
dwarfed the record Anthony
DeSpirito set with 800 last year.
In 1850 Shoemaker and Joe Cul-
none tied with 388, equaling
Walter Miller's mark which had
stood since 1906.
Hartack didn't know what it
was to win horse race until
October of last year, when he
brought a winner home at Water
ford Downs near Wheeling, w.
Va. Most of his riding has been
done at similar small tracks in
West Virginia, Ohio and Mary
land.
Shoemaker got a good head
start on me-" he said. In March
he had over 100 winners when I
didn't have 10. 1t was too big
a handicap to overcome. Once
during the summer I moved to
within 80 wins of his lead, but
that was the closest I ever got. +"
Still. I'm not disappointed. If
any one had said this time last
year that I would ride over 800
winners in 1858, 1 would have
called them nuts"
Without a ghost of a chance
of catching Shoemaker this year,
Willie is looking ahead.
- I'll be in there trying again
next year and maybe get the job
DONE" he said. I've learned a
lot this season"

MILWAUKEE,, July 28.-"All
we need is more heroes" said
Charlie Grimm last night as his
Braves frolicked into the club
house after mauling the Giants,
1870. with Eddie Mathews blast
ing a pair of home runs to lead
the wrecking crew.
This is a f1rSt-diviSion club,
Just like I said BEFORE" Grimm
added. Sure, we've been in a
slump but we're bound to snap
out of it. This is a young ball
club, with couple of exceptions,
and you've got to expect let
down occasionally.
But a few more heroes, like
that kid Mathews tonight, and
we're back in business for sure"
Mathews, the major leagues
home-run leader for most of
the year, is just off the pace
set by Babe Ruth in 1927, his
record 60-homer season. Ruth
clouted two in his 95th game,
just as Mathews did last night,
only one day earlier-July 90
to boost his mark to 80, one
ahead of the 21-year-old Mil
Waukee Slugger.
Early in the season. when the
Braves were burning up the
league, they operated on what
amounted, to a "hero-a-game"
system. Then, all at once, the
fireworks fizzled. Nothing
worked and the club started slid

Such are the oddities of base
ball fortune that the Yankees
Eddie Lopat, the nemesis of the
Mats. might not even be in the
major leagues if it hadn't been
for a bit of friendly advice from
Clark Griffith.
The 83-year-old president of
the Washington club has never
regretted helping Lopat, he said,
even though the chunky left
handler has become so proficient
in beating the Mats that you get
the idea he can lick them just
by looking at them. He has a
24-8 lifetime record against
Washington. This year it's 40.
'Lopat was all set to quit base
ball." Griffith recalled. HE was
with the White Sox then and
he had ulcers that were paining
him so much he was convinced
he'd never make the grade"
Advised by Joe Haynes.
That was back in 1947. One
of Lopat's Chicago teammates

married to Griff's niece, Thelma.
Joe told Eddie to see me the
next time he got to Washing
ton," Griffith said, land so he
did. We talked about ulcers and
I told him all about the diet that
saved AL Schacht's career. Lopat
has been on that diet ever since,
and he's one of the best pitchers
in baseball"
It seems that years ago when

was that he would be offered a
blank contract to sign and fill
in the salary figures, Williams
let out "a loud laugh. They'd
better not do that, that's just the
kind of a chance I'm looking
for" he said. He was being
paid about $125,0 a year at
the time he entered the service.
Col. Chappell told Williams,
1.-THE Marine Corps has been
very proud to have you as an
active member these many
months.
II am quite sure that what
you have done has been an in
Spiration to thousands and thou
sands of young men who had to
leave their jobs and homes to
help out the Nation in these
trying times. Your services have
been greatly appreciated, and ]
want to thank you officially for
what you have DONE"
Williams said the doctors at
Bethesda found his ear ailment
was the result of an allergy as
much as anything else, and that
it would not affect his playing
ability. The only further treat
ment would be for the allergy
and he'll continue that treat
ment under civilian physicians
in Boston.

said. They're friends again.
But I let the whole club know
there was to be no more stuff
like that going on. It's the first

of 1912.
Hes got a beautiful screw

AK Nine Finds Lead
Evaporated by Losing
To Printers and Hicks

The Atchison & Keller Plumb
ers, first-half winners in the

suddenly have found their two
game lead all but evaporated.
The second-place Union Print

Chevrolet also held them score
less in a 20 verdict on the
South Ellipse. The Printers are
favored to beat Scogna Tailors
this afternoon and tie AK for
the league lead with a Az

Both Teams Get Six Hits.
Frank Funk, a no-hit pitcher
for Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School last spring, won yeSter-
days game by holding AK to
six hits and striking out nine.
Starter Ken beavers and Paul
Fenchak, who relieved in the
eighth, limited Hicks to six hits
also, but three errors led to
single runs in the fourth and
eighth innings.
Vic Jungk singled in Gene
Doane with the first run and
Funk scored the second on two
straight errors.
Jack Pry Motors is taking ad-
vantage of tie games to take
a commanding lead in the Ana
costa League. Lou Smith pitched
a siX-hitter and slammed a
three-run homer yesterday to
lead Jack Pry to an 11-3 vic

Opportunity for Dodgers.
In the National League, if the
Dodgers play close to 500 ball
on their 13-game Western trip
opening today in Chicago, the
home office will be sorely tempted
to start having World Series
tickets printed.
The Dodgers begin their third
Western swing with a seven
game bulge over Milwaukee and
the deep-rooted conviction that
the only serious challenger be-
tween them and the pennant is
fourth-place New York.
The Giants went West with
high hopes, too, but they got off
to a dreadful start last night in
Milwaukee, where the given-up-
for-dead Braves buried them I'M
der 1870 count.
For the Dodgers, the West this
year has proved just as wild and
woody as the story books claim.
Brooklyn won only three out of
eight games on it's first jurney.
On their second trip the Dodgers
won six and lost eight. But it
was on that second tour that the
Dodgers finished up with three
straight over Milwaukee and
moved into the league lead
they've held ever since.
Braves Not Finished.
After the Braves dropped
three of their four games in
Brooklyn over the week end,
most observers figured they were
finished. But against New York
last night, Charlie Grimm's lads
tried to show the home folks it
was all a mistake.
They dubbed four New York
pitchers for IA hits and made it
easy for Warren SPAIN to regis
ter his 18th victory of the sea-
son and his 30th major league
Shutout.
Eddie Mathews hammered two
home runs, the first one with the
bases loaded during an eight
run uprising in the fourth in
ming. The blast was Mathews
second grand slam clout of the
season.
