aside for the young fellows to take
up where We leave off"
I'VE fully realize these young
bucks are full of energy and full
OF fight to carry on to improve
what we already have by taking
out the bends and other obstacles

go at it only as long as it takes
for one to pin the other.
The women involved are billed

some kind of Junior heavyweight

it only last week against Darling
Dagmar.

i'll afford to miss training de-
spite his exemplary living habits.
Trade Offers Ridiculous.
Although they won't admit it,
the Senators officials have at
tempted to trade Vernon, but
the offers they've received have
been ridiculous. Other clubs are
all to aware of Mickey's age. and
consequently aren't bidding high
for him.
They probably could sell him
quickly. but that would bring a
chorus OF howls from Washing
ton fans. 1t also would set an
unenviable precedent for the
team and encourage future hold
outs.
Outfielder Jim Busby arrived
yesterday and said he expected
to sign today. The entire squad
is supposed to work out tomor-
row with the exception of Pitcher

ARCADIA, Calf. Feb. 25.-
Santa Anita racing fans are not
accustomed to seeing colts who
go on to win the Kentucky
Derby.
Only once. in fact. has such a
thing happened. That was when
Hill Gail won the Santa Anita
Derby in 1852 and went on to
win at Louisville.
This season the patrons have
seen no less than three colts who
might win at Churchill Downs
in May.
Yesterday they saw one ire
mendous threat, Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Persons Porterhouse.
Last Saturday they saw Calumet
Farms Dukes Lea and Andrew
Crevolin's Determine in the
Santa Anita Derby.
Porterhouse, a rather large,
rugged brown colt, was most i'm
pressive. All he did yesterday in
his first place since the Pimlico
Futurity last October II was win
handily in 1:09ls. a fifth of a
second off the track record for
6 furlongs.
He did it carrying 1872 pounds,
including his usual rider. Bill
Boland, and while his opposi-
ton wastn't much, he won by
three lengths.
Boland dropped him back to
fifth position after starting from

the inside post position. There
was no use risking any trouble.
Boland then took Porterhouse to
the outside, began to sail past
horses at the far turn, and once
rolling, whizZed by the pace
setting Rolyat in the stretch
without apparent effort.
Trainer Charles Nottingham
expressed satisfaction with the
race. Nottingham plans to
ship Porterhouse to Kentucky
around March 10 and probably
give the son Of Endeavor II his
next race at Keeneland, either in
the Bluegrass Stakes or the
Derby Trial.
Porterhouse proved to be a
perfectly hammered colt, with
much power. AS the Nation S
leading .2-year-old last year he
proved it by winning five out of
eight starts, including one dis
qualification. This was in the
Saratoga Special. when he was
disqualified and Turn To called
the winner.
Porterhouse showed no evil
dence of the back, injury which
he suffered during the Pimlico
Futurity. This cost him the race
and kept him out Of the rich
Garden State.
Dukes Lea raced but once as
2-year-old, impressed the peo-
pie, here. even in losing to De-
termine last week.

Bratton said originally he had
injured his left hand during a
brief furry in the third round,
but Joseph Baritone, commission
doctor. testified that "he CBrat-
tom didn't say anything about
an injured hand when looked
at his eye at the end of the

There is a little confusion
on the third finger but I don't
think that was bad enough to
give him any trouble" he added.
In an impassioned plea after
the commission told him that it
was holding up his purse, Brat
ton said:
This boy Saxton has been
thrown out of rings before be-
cause he holds on and refuses
to let the other guy get off a
punch. I wanted to fight. I'm
a boxer. I tried to fight as good
as know. ! wasn't laying back.
"Saxton just kept pushing in
and laying on me and I kept
saying to him. Come on. Let's
start fighting But he didn't
want to. He was only interested
in making himself look good and
not get hurt"
To this Holahan responded,
II admire you for your honesty"
Fans Boo Throughout.
The 6,S38 fans who paid
$27,369 to see the bout booed
throughout, tossed papers, chairs
and anything else they could get
their hands on into the ring.
1t was quite obvious that most
of them wished they had stayed
home out of the rain and
watched the fight over televi-
sion. At least they could have
turned it off and gone to bed.
Along with Billy Graham and
Carmine Basilio. Saxton now
stands in the forefront of chal-
lengerS or successors to Kid

on how the "Keed" fares against
