Mrs. Duke welcomed both the
new and old workers and turned
the meeting over to Mrs. Truesdell,
who expressed her gratitude for
the cooperation and help she has
received from all the Officers
Wives Clubs in the operations of

that many have told her how much
they enjoy working at the Thrift
Shop and stated that anyone who

appreciation she had received from
one Of the young mothers who re-
Gently was given a layette for her
new daughter.

purpose of the Thrift Shop is not
charity and that in the sale Of
merchandise the workers wish only
to charge enough to cover expen-
ses, and try neither to charge too
much nor too little.
Mrs. Truesdell asked Mrs. Brad
ley for report on the layettes
which her group has furnished new
babies, thanked Mrs. Bradley for
her very fine work with the group
and expressed the regret Of all the
workers that Mrs. Bradley viii

Brendan Powell, Thirteen of

down to watch.
They were using the wrong
brush on the horse, Powell de-
cided.
That's a soft brush, a body
brush we call it," the Irishman
added. 1T should be stiffer."
'You don't brush horses

obviously Powell's friend. You
pick it clean"
Where did you learn that"
Powell asked with just a shade
of a brogue.
Crafty Admiral snapped at his
chain continually. and Divide
mad to yank hard a couple of
times to get it free.
Anyway, we don't like long
tails" the young Celt said. AT
home we cut them off short"

Another bystander observed
that Powell wouldn't have liked
long-tailed Whirlaway, and Pow
ell said they had 'Nhirlaway
colt in the barn at home.
"Cut his throat-he's no good"
the stout fellow said. "ThoSe
Whirlaways can run, but they're
all mean and stubborn, Just like
him
Hell bite if you give him a
chance" Divide said.
Brushed and cleaned, Crafty
Admiral was led into his stall,
with its thick mattress of straw,
where the groom proceeded to
wrap his left front leg.
Powell thought the foot-deep
straw was too much.
Il don't believe in putting that
much in the box" he said. "We
make them sleep on a hard floor
and they get used to it and it
makes them tough"
You do things differently
over there" said the stout man.
Horses last longer over there
because they don't rush 'em.
They only race now and then
not like here where you've got
to get it while you can and they
keep throwing horses at you. all
the time.
"You see more -limbed
animals over there" he added,
glancing at Crafty Admiral's
bandaged leg. Every horse over
here has got to break down
sooner or later because they race
'em so hard"
Powell tossed off a remark

Young Starts Comeback
In GiuIiani Bout Tonight
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Paddy
Young gets a screen fest for a
proposed December 9 Cleveland
bout with Gil Turner tonight at
st. Nicholas Arena when he
meets Sammy Giuliani of Stam-
ford. Conn.
Since losing to yBobo Olson,
June 9, Paddy has been on a
four-and a half-month "vaca-
ton" Now he starts on the road
back, hoping he can escape the
fate that awaited George Araujo
last Friday. Promoter Larry
Atkins of Cleveland wants to
match Young with Turner and
Rocky Castellani with Ernie
Durando on his Christmas fund
show.
Young is a 4-to-1 favorite in
the 10-round match, scheduled
for 10 pm. with network radio
(ABC) and television (NBC)
coverage. Paddy has been fight
ing in much tougher league
that Giuliani when he's not
vacationing.
(The fight will be broadcast
to the Washington area by
WMAL and televised by

There's Beginning butNoEnd
To Horse Race for Bed Lille

Actress Beatrice Lille, who
was at Laurel yesterday for a
trophy presentation ceremony,
would never be mistaken for a
habitual track fan.
Miss Lille, Lady Peel in pri-
vate life, watched the 12-horse
field complete the 6-furlong
fourth race and straggle around
the clubhouse turn as the jockeys
reined their mounts.
Miss Lille knew the race was
over, but evidently was puzzled
by the time and distance re-
quired to stop a horse.
Nov where are they going?"
she asked.
Almost 1000 fans also saw a
rare disqualification of both the
first and second horses in the

He'll be so far in front of
the rest you won't even thing
you're in the same field" was
the substance of his retort.
Never you mind" the Irish,
youngster replied. We've a good
horse and we're going to win"
He walked back toward his
own quarters at the other end
of the shed row, pauSing to give
Thirteen of Diamonds a friendly
pat. We looked in at Wilwyn,
rather docile and seemingly
awed by his strange surround,
ings.
We've got a Six of Diamonds
and a Thirteen of Clubs at
home" Powell said. "Mr. Hawk
ins likes to name his horses after
cards. But this one. Diamonds
we call him. is the best. He
carried 10 stone 7 Q47 pounds)
winning the Derby last year and
he carries top weight whenever
he runs. He's good one and
he's not worrying"
Perhaps young Powell was
right. But when a trainer who
has been around a half century
or more, like Bob Odom, likes
his horse we'll enough to back
him up with cash against any
rival, you've got to string along
with him. 1t seemed to be a

carella was pobbing like a cork
in an animated conversation
with John Schapiro, in his fa-
miliar gray fedora. Big, hand-
some Horatlo Luro was comfort
ably buried in a turtle-neck
sweater and presently the neigh
borly gray fedora of Bob Odom
hove into view. Odom had lust
come from supervising CRAFTY
Admiral's cooling-out and he
wore a satisfied look.
How did he go2" one of the
group asked How aid he Ike
the turf course?"
This race VII be Crafty Ad-
mlral'S first venture on grass and
there was some thought that the
son of Fighting Fox -Aomiral's
Lacy might be timid. Odom said
everything went fine.
He was looking around a lot
he's smart horse" the trainer
added. He'll be all right
1t was suggested that the sharp
turns of the course which is in
side Laurel's regular mile track
and measures only about seven
furlongs, might bother Crafty
Admiral.
Hes a speed horse, very
handy on his feet and the turns
won't bother him." Odom re-
piled.
1t was mentioned that some OBJ
servers thought the French horse,
Paul Duboscq's Silnet, would be
the poSt-time betting favorite
and Odom stared in surprised dis
belief.
This horse will win handily." "
he predicted. Anyone who bets
against him is crazy"
Odom paused and looked
around the group.
I'D like to bet anybody, horse
for horse" he announced
The challenge seemed to be
carried away by the wind. Luro,
the only other trainer present,
was discussing golf with Casca-
rella. He likes his horse, w. Ar
mold Hangers Iceberg II, but he
also has a wholesome respect for
that "beeg" Crafty Admiral.
Just a few feet away was the
stall OF Thirteen of Diamonds,
one of the two Irish horses en-
tered. Next to him was Wilwyn.
winner Of last years inaugural

was HarWin who, like WilWyn.

At the end of the row. in the
