Then FabiuS showed who was
the boss. With less than a quar-

Hartack's whip. He responded
Immediately, letting those in the

him down to odds-on at the mu-

nothing to worry about.
The rest of the field was

The International is contested

as a concession to foreign horses

The distance is considered the
true classic length.
Expenses involved in import

me.
But I kept driving my horse
and the harder I hit him the
faster he moved. I still didn't
think we had it until the last
few jumps"
II was a bad day all around
for Shoemaker. He won two
races but he lost the big one.
And in the eighth his horse,
Bold Trip, either broke down or
was cut down and pulled up at
the top the the stretch.

D. c. international Purse
Increased to 100000

The Washington. D. c., Inter-
national. inaugurated at Laurel
in 1852 with a $4,000 purse, will
move up into the blue chip class
this year with a 100000 payoff
track officials announced last
night.
The fifth running of the mile
and-a-half grass race, which
drew a field of Is last year. is
scheduled for November u since
Veterans Day falls on Sunday
this year.
The purse boost is the second
since John D. Schapiro, youthful
president of Laurel, and his as
sociates hit on the idea of an
invitational race in an effort to
bring some of the better foreign
horses against Americ a n
thoroughbreds in this country.
The 1856 winner will net
$4,000, with $4,000 to the run
nerup, $4,000 for third and
$4,000 to the horse finishing
fourth.
The first International, won
by Robert Boucher's Wilwyn of
England, was worth $32,500 to
the winner. Beginning with the
second running. the purse was
raised to SOS. 900. with the winner
receiving $4,000, and payoffs of
$500. $4,000 and $4,000 to the
next three finishers.

ment of the fans, Shoemaker
and Swaps seemed to be loafine
along, and Porterhouse was
driving.
Shoemaker rather belatedly
went to the whip, but apparently
it was too late to shake Swaps
up again. He came back to bit
but not enough to avert defeat
Bobby Brocato didn't have
anything left after his blazing
duel with Swaps, and Mister Gus
came up to take the show posi-
ton.
Trailing last was the Irish
horse, Poona II, with the WI
Ranch's Honeys Alibi fifth.
Biggest Saturday Crowd
The turnout was the largest
Saturday crowd in Hollywood
Parks history, excluding one
Memorial Day which fell on the
week end. Attendance that day
was 61,215.
| AS post time for the first race
drew near, all entrances were
damned and traffic was backed
up for blocks.
Conditions of the Californian
are on a weight-for-age basis
plus certain penalties or allow
ances for money earnings. Thus
is was that Swaps and Bobby
Brocato each had 1877 pounds.
Porterhouse is no stranger to
the winners circle. He was the
national champion as a 2-year-
old three years ago. But his
best stakes wins have been at
shorter sprint distances. All
told. Porterhouse now has won
IA races in AZ starts and his past
earnings amounted to $248,160
Officially, PorterhouSe's mar
gin over Swaps was a head
Five lengths back came Mister
Gus, who was a length and
three quarters in front of Bobby
Brocato.
The crowd gave Shoemaker q
round of boos when he came
onto the track to ride in the
eighth race. Then the Shoe
maker admirers rallied and gave
him a cheer. 1t was a day OF
cheers, booes and surprises.
Later Shoemaker took the
blame for the defeat.
ut wasn't his fault he didn't
win," said Willie as he dis
mounted to the sound Of boos
HE was just galloping along
pricking his ears in the stretch
and 1 eased up on him.
"Once I saw the other horse
coming, I couldn't get him to
running again in time TO hold
him of. He was going easy all
the way until the last sixteenth
And turning into the stretch he
was trying to run off with me-"
Ismael Valenzuela, the win
ming jockey, was all smiles.
I'VE got away we'll and I had
him in hand most of the way"
he said. Turning for home,

Write it down!
This is a good idea especially
where a rather extensive building

plumber had done on her prop

he rakes the yard.
