The Ellis boys aren't trying to

far Horace is well ahead of the
pace he set for himself.

After Only 500 See Syracuse

Sklar's Stars may be through
for the season. Mike Sklar, who
sponsors the pickup basketball
team. has a tentative booking
with the Boston Celtics for
April 4 at Uline Arena, but says
he probably will call 1t off.
Lack of interest in the team,
made up of former college and
pro stars now in this area, most
of them at service installations,
is the reason for Sklar's change
of plans.
Only 1900 fans turned out at
Uline's last night to watch the
Syracuse Nationals, f1rst-place
finisher in the Eastern Division
of the National Basketball AS
ISOLATION, beat the Stars. 104-94.
The proceeds above expenses
were to be turned over to the
Hebrew Academy Of Washing

pected to benefit. Sklar says he
might have made expenses.
He says he will put a team out
next year. however. But not in

Weight Promises
To Halt Longden
Short of Record

ALBANY, Calf, Mar. 10
It's getting tougher and tougher
for Johnny Longden, the veteran
jockey with 4,501 victories in a
career that began in 1927 at Salt
Lake City.
For oddly enough, at the age
of As, Longden is suddenly faced
with a serious weight problem
which he says puts the world
record of 4,870 winners out of
reach. That mark was set by
Sir Gordon Richards. the great
British rider now retired.
IT have to take off too much
poundage to consider riding
much longer" Longden said,
after passing the 4,500 mark at
Golden Gate Fields yesterday.
He reached the 4,500 mark
aboard Big Star in the fourth
race. Then he rode Right Down
to victory in the featured St.
Patrick's Day Handicap to round
out, his day.

Candle Wood Faces
Two Good MURDERS
In Bowie Feature
By Joseph B. Kelly

Candle Wood. whose rider,
Oliver Cutshaw, initiated last
Saturdays excitment at Bowie
when he claimed a foul after
the running of the Burch Memo
rial Handicap, returns to the
Prince Georges County track to-
day to perform in the featured
$4,000 Balko Purse.
It was muddy at the track
today, but none of the six
sprinters named to oppose
Candle Wood was among the
scratches when the list was made
public this morning. Two Of
these were horses Candle Wood
unfinished in the Burch-New
Dream, topweighted at l22
pounds, and Nick Jimmy. who'll
carry 100. Both are rated as good
mudders.
Candle Wood, with 116 pounds,
probably would have been ia
vored over fast track. but the

much of mud record. although
he won at Hialeah over sloppy
track.

There was stir in the stands

lighted after Stan Sag had nosed

claims are getting to be rather
commonplace, however, and this
one was brushed off rather
quickly by the stewards.

Satisfied if They Don't Win Again This Year
Lady BolIodier's 82-7 Victory
Success Enough for Brothers
By Lewis r. Atehison

If the Ellis brothers don't win
another race this year, 30-year-
old Horace, who trains the
horses, says he'll be satisfied
with the success of their modest
stable.
Their 3-year- old filly. Lady
Balladier. an 82-to-1 outsider.
won the $4,000 Miss Maryland
Stakes opening day at Bowie,
and their Love-A-Chance. an
other 3-year-old fllly, finished
second at almost SO to in
Tuesdays sixth race, paying
$34.8o and $20.6Q. The combined
earnings of the two amount to
$4,000, no staggering sum, but
not bad for a small establish
ment.
Lady Balladier was the first
stakes winner saddled by Horace
the third horse he'd ever sad
died for a race, although he's
been around them all his life.
Partners in Venture
Although Reuben H. Ellis,
older of the two brothers, is
listed as the owner, they are
partners in the venture. They're
also in a Statewide plumbing
and heating business, and have a
fuel oil business in Richmond,
Va, with their father, Morgan
r, Ellis, who was critically i'll
when this was written.
| My father never has been to
the races, althouh he was fond
of Boss Benny" Horace said.
But my mother is crazy about
them"
Boss Benny is a 7-year-old
campaigner familiar to patrons
OF, Charles Town and other half
mile courses, who was more or
less a member Of the Ellis fam
lily until taken away by a new
owner in a claiming race.
But if the Ellis boys father
didn't go to the races he gave
them sound advice that Horace
has taken to heart. No flashy
clothes or speedy motorcars for
him. Horace says. Anybody
well. almost anybody-can make
money, his dad told him, but it
takes smart man to keep it.
Ideal Business Team
Horace and his brother make
an ideal business team. They
don't make move without con-
Sulting one another and have to
be in complete agreement before
they make it. Thus, when their
racing activities reached the
point where somebody had to
take direct charge they decided
that Horace would go with the
horses while Reuben remained
at home to direct their other
affairs.
you've got to work at this
job" Horace said, and his two
youthful stable hands, Jesse
Fisher. from North Carolina,
and Harry Perkins of Alexan-
dria. Va, agree with him.
He gets here at quarter-to-6
in the morning." Jesse said,
land he's here late at night" ,
The long hours resulted in
/ the breakup of Horace's mar
riage, he said. 1t reached a
/ point where he was devoting
virtually all his time to the
horses and now, less than a
year later, Horace understands
his former wife's objections.
But Lady Luck has smiled on
the Ellis family in other ways.
When Horace was IA his dad
bought 81a acres on the out
skirts of Richmond and it has
developed into a boom area.
Some 1000 new homes have
been built adjacent to the farm,
a new Office building is under
construction across the road
and any time the Ellis clan de-
cides to sell it'll mean a nice
profit.

season.
DOns' Stock Says
All four teams went through
brisk practice drills in the audi
forum yesterday. All players
except Mullen appeared in excel
lent physical condition.
Coach Woolpert hoped the
6-foot-5 Mullen, his ace de-
fender and playmaker, would be
ready to start against Colorado.
If he isn't, Bob Wiebusch. a
6-foot-3 senior, viii get the
starting job.
San Francisco was rated the
Nations No. team the latter
part of The regular season, but
stock of the Dons sagged a bit
after Mullen's injury in the Sec
ond round at Corvallis.
Representatives of the Eastern
half of the country have nabbed
8 of the previous 16 champion
ships. LaSalle will be trying to
match the repeat performances
of Oklahoma AIM t1945-6). and
Kentucky (1948-9). Only Ken
lucky has won three of the ma
tIonal banners. The Wildcats
got their last one in 1851 against
| Kansas State at Minneapolis.
The last victory for the West
was by Kansas in Olympic year
1852.
