DNAV By FRANCIS STANN
Entry of the Year
ONE SURE-FIRE

ONE SURE-FIRE WAY to enjoy payday is to own a
track Princess Graces daddy and lure Swaps east
ward for the first time
This is why John Kelly boss the Atlantic City Race
Course will clerks counting the green far into the
night week from Saturday. If hit jackpot.
Kelly has done it.
His Highness, Swaps arrived yesterday at Atlantic
City for the 100000 United Nations Handicap on the
September 15 The Prince and Princess of Monaco who sail
tomorrow will arrive later but in plenty of time The 80 O5h
customer that afternoon will attendance record
Mighty Swaps winner of 10 out of his rs three
years and out of 10 this campaign has Shuttled be-
tween California and Chicago up to Except course,
for his winning appearance in the 1855 Kentucky Derby
Here in the Easta majority of people may felt Nashua
the better horse but there denying the folks want
to see the West Coast flyer. y
It's Just possible Swaps could change few minds
SWAPS is COMING EAST fresh of characteristic race
in the Washington Park Handicap setting record
for the mile and boosting his earnings to $84SO This puts
him fourth among the atme money winners and at the
rate he going he may dsplaee Syme who 13
times and seriously go after Citation Nashua the only
two known millionaires in turf history.
Swaps being treated with the respect he deserves
but other stables not concedng the United Nations to
the of Khaed Hasty Houses imported Mahan winner
over Swaps in the Arch Ward Memorial, is hand at
Atlantic City for another crack at Mr. Speed So Prince
Morvi the Australian invader c. " Whitneys Fisher
man. later to be Joined by Maine Chance Action
One factor to be taken into consideration is that it's
which the United Nations will be run and most
observers have open minds to Swaps liking it. True
he won the American Derby last year grass the
Arch Ward Memorial he was no better than seventh
He didn't like the track" Jockey Willie Shoemaker COM
mented in one of his longer speeches.
SWAPS AND HIS Co-oWNERs Rex Ellsworth and Mish
Tenney can't be auted for unwingnesS to give try
When he was setting almost weekly records-world Amer
lean and trackhe was accused of combining his efforts
the hard dirt strips in California.
His presence first at Chicago where he lost the match
race to Nashua and at Atlantic CITY, proves
that Swaps handlers don't feel to carry his track
with him. 1t was foolish contention the first place
The Kentucky Derby proved So did his win in the
Washington Park Handicap Labor Day.
The Mormons who and train Swaps haven't been
qubbing about weights either although the California
horse hasn't been asked to carry than 30 The
he runs, most times he probably allowed to pack
more With all due respect to Nashua who broke even with
Swaps probably horse in the world faster than the
TALL sleek red.
THE UNITED NATIONS HANDICAP may be an i'm
porant event to John Schapro LAUREL who as usual
will stage his starspanged Washington c. international
on November H. Add to the of the available foreign
horses racer of Swaps quality following and schapro
would have his best International yet
There chance too that Swaps will accept an Inter-
natonal pd already extended It's looked like on-again
shines at Atlantic City and comes out we'll Ellsworth and
Tenney conceivaby would ship him to Laurel
Inc chances OF a third Swaps-Nashua meeting are
oeemed s despite Louis Pondhelds offer of SIPS 900 for
showdown in the Pimlico Special Thanksgiving Day.
November e. The Swaps people willing under certain
conditions, Pondeld says but Leslie Combs IL who man
ages the syndicate that Nashua has plans to retire
his ace October 10 exhibition appearance at Keene
land at Lexington XIV
Right now, with Needles already retired for the wear
ana Nashua about to be- 1t looks like it's up to Swaps to
defend the honor Of Uncle in the International II he
can oenntey establish that he on the grass at
Atlantic City and he physically up to his best the issue
coulon1 pc IN better hands. Or rather, feet.
