Native Dancer, Fit and Happy,
Trains Daily for '54 Campaign

When he gets back from Santa
Anita, about the first week in
March, we'll send The Dancer to
him at Belmont Park.
II expect he'll make his first
start in three-Quarter-mile race
the latter part of April at ia
maica if all goes we'll"
Winfrey was here for a couple
of days last week inspecting The
Dancer and other horses.
Eyes Handicap Triple.
Vanderbilt said recently in
Miami that it was too early to
say for sure what the campaign
plans would be. but Trainer Win
frey has an eye on the handicap
Triple CroWn-the MetrOpoli-
tan and Suburban Handicaps at
B e I'm ont and the Brooklyn
Handicap at Aqueduct.
! Only two horses have managed
to win the big triple-Whisk
Broom II in 1913 and Tom Fool
last year.
This would make up for some
of the disappointment of 1858,
when Native Dancer lost the
Kentucky Derby by a head to
Dark Star-the only defeat in
the gray's 19-race career.
The Brooklyn Handicap comes
early in July, after which Van
derbilt might decide to fly the
colt to Europe for some of the
big English and French classics
That is something we can
make no definite plans on at this
time" Vanderbilt added.
/ Acts Like OvergrOwn Kid.
/ Native Dancer, meanwhile,
acts like a big overgrown kid
with not a worry in the world
He eats just as regularly as when
he had to get out there and ex-
ert himself on the race track,
where he ran his bankroll to
$743,920 last year-fourth lead
ing money winning horse in the
world.
Hes picked up some weight"
Kercheval said, but any horse
out of steady training will do
that
Bernie Everson. the Dancers
regular exercise boy, remained
at Sycamore to ride him each
morning. so one familiar face is
around the barn.
Native Dancer has a new
groom. at least temporarily,
however. Les Murray, who has
been seen by millions at the
track and on television holding
the Dancer in the winners cir
Gle, is in California with Winfrey.
George Lambert. who came up
under Murray, is the group
groom here.
LES taught me how to rub a
horse l6 or II years ago when
I was a kid" Lambert said.
Training at Sycamore is under
the direction of Mike McGrath,
who has been trainer of the
score or more racers usually kept
on the farm for the last IS years.

Two-Length Victory
Over Judge J. B.
Is Repeat Triumph
BY the AssoeioSod Press

MIAMI, Fla. Jan. Sweet
Vermouth put on q fine stretch
finish today and won the $4,000
added Straus Memorial Handi-
cap at Tropical Park, duplicating
his victory here last Saturday.
Ridden well by Robert L. Stew
enson, the 5-year-old brown
gelding was forced wide early in
the race and was fifth at the
one-quarter mark. He pulled up
to fourth at the halfway mark
and began to gain fast on the
leaders.
At the head of the stretch,
Stevenson sent his flying mount
into second place, just q head
back of K. G. Marshall'S Judge
j. B., which had led all the way.
Speed In Reserve.
Sweet Vermouth had plenty
speed in reserve and romped
across the finish line two lengths
in front. The son of CaSsiS car
ried 112 pounds and covered the
six furlongs in 1:102S, one &c
ond of the track record. Second
choice in the betting, he paid
$3.50. $50 and $3.50.
The victory was worth $7,750
to owner-trainer A. H. CFrenchy)
Bowen. Gross value of the purse
was $11,375.
Judge j. B., ridden by James
Stout. ran we'll but was unable
to stand the fast pace Sweet
Vermouth set in the stretch
drive. The 4-year-old colt paid
$8.10 and 81 and earned $4,000.
Alerted. Hampton Stables g.
year-old son of Bull Lea, closed
fast to take third place from
Hyphasis by half a length.
Alerted, better at longer dis
tances. was making his 93rd
start and added $1,000 to his
earnings. which total more than
$437,000.
Hi Billee Sixth.
La PerouSe, a Hampton Stable
entry with Alerted, was scratched.
Duntreath Farms Hi Billee
was the favorite at 2-1, but fin
ished sixth after a slow break.
He moved into contention but
flattened out in the stretch.
Sweet Vermouth turned in an
almost identical winning per-
formance last Saturday. With
the same Jockey up. he covered
the same distance in the same
time and won by almost the
same margin.
One of the best crowds Of
the season gave Tropical its
third million-dollar wagering
day Of the meeting. The Straus
Memorial. named for Harry L.
Straus, former Tropical presi-
dent who was killed in q private
plane crash a few years ago.
drew 14.120 fans who wagered

A raw day was in prospect for
Washington.
The Weather Bureau said to-
days weather would be cloudy
windy and cold. The mercury Is
expected to 60 no higher than 35.
Brisk winds from the north
west. however. should help dry
OF the streets. The winds are
expected to be between 90 and
80 miles an hour, a slight in
crease in force over the nights
winds.
Yesterdays mild temperatures
melted much Of the snow and ice
from the streets. but last night
police in outlying areas reported
roads were becoming icy again.
Colder weather is on the way
from the northwest and is due
here tonight. There Is no snow

Reduced traffic congestion in

Retention Of trade by retail

Less need for huge outlays on

With these desirable ideas in

The transit system here is a
unified system and has been
publicly owned since 1912. The
fare structure does not match
Mr.. Wolfson'S model.
There is a 15-cent fare, with
seven tickets for 81. But trans

Washington where the basic
fare is II cents.
