Swaps, long-awaited Eastern

Handicap Saturday figures to
have some reverberations up and
down the coast and among the
spots affected will be Laurel and
Pimlico.
| Regardless of the outcome of
Saturdays invitational race on
the New Jersey grass, Laurel and
Pimlico officials will make a
Herculean pitch to keep the
lCalifornia champion in these
parts for the Washington, D. c.,
international and the Pimlico
Special which will be run just
10 days apart in November.
It's not an unattractive lure
that Laurel and Pimlico offer
because in addition to the $780,

the international and $4,000 for
the Special with no entry fees)

Speaking of weights, a touchy
subject in the moneyed circle of
racing secretaries. no secretary
has seen fit to assign Swaps
more than 100 pounds in any
handicap to date, despite the
protests of the idealists. Racing
secretaries are paid from $3.50
to 5000 per day at the major
tracks and it is understandable
that they would not ignore the
arrangements feeling about
weighing Swaps into rival less
ethical horse park.

problem of weighing Swaps and
his opponents in the Interna-

a must. Although the Interna-

This cannot be laid to Laurel
because actually there have been
only three horses-Alfred VAN

Nashua and SwapS-who have
captured the eye and magma
ton of that part of the public
which is not particularly racing
conscious.
Should Swaps wallop his foes
and the clock in his customary
fashion in the mile and three
sixteenth at Atlantic City, any
other American horses would be
regarded as Second-string
against Laurel'S foreign invaders
on November IL. OF course, that
wouldn't apply to Nashua, who
is to be retired in October.
Pimlico, with its Special jul
diciously scheduled on Thanks
giving Day, also is counting Rex
Ellsworth and John Galbreath
and their horse. The Mary
land Jockey Club could wind
up with a walkover if Swaps
is a starter, but this should
not keep any customers away,
assuming that Swaps wades
through Eastern opposition like
he did through California time
pieces.

Magic Wond to SECURE

A tennis racket became the
magic wand that transformed
weak. scrawny and deformed
Francisco (Pancho) Segura into
one of the top professional
athletes in the world.
The 34-year-old native of
Guayaquil, Ecuador, will display
his unorthodox two-handed grip
in exhibitions with three other
pro tennis stars Saturday and
Sunday at the Edgemoor Club
in Bethesda.
Pancho will play match
against the famous Jack Kramer
for the benefit of the junior
development program of the
Washington Area Tennis Pa
irons Foundation. Also on the
programs will be matches be-
tween the worlds top women
professionals. Pauline Betz Addie
and Doris Hart.
One of Nine Children
Segura, a 5-foot-6 better, was
one of nine children born of
poor parents, Domingo and
Francisco. None of the other
children was prominent in
athletics, nor were Pancho's
parents.
q Nevertheless, Pancho overcame
his small stature and his weak
srms by utilizing two-handed
grip to swing rackets which
seemed big and heavy to him.
The two-handed drive now is his
trademark in a colorful pro ten
mis- career.
Segura got his first chance as
9 player when his father &C
cepted job as caretaker of the
Guayaquil Tennis Club. Natur-
ally, young Pancho was able to
get in many hours of practice
as an assistant to his father.

Keep Children
From School
In Louisville

Louisville, KY, Dec. IS The
mother of two white pupils at
Southern Junior High School said
today she had kept them at home
because a Negro had enrolled at
the school.
Mrs. Roy Dupin said: "They can
take me to court and send me to
jail but I'm not going to send my
children to school with Negro"
Last September Mrs. Dupin had
refused to send her children to
Eastern High School in another
portion of Jefferson County for
the same reason. Later, however,
she allowed them to enroll at
Southern Junior High School be-
cause it was the only junior high
here where there were no Negro
children at that time.
Yesterday, however, new class
was started at Southern and in
cluded a Negro boy.
w. F. Coslow, assistant city
school superintendent said that
Mrs. Dupin's case would be re-
ferred to juvenile court.
