with yen for horse racing Swaps and Nashua don't
at each other this More and more, Swaps
looking like of the best of decade turning out those
speed records in California.
the two colts met in that match race in
Chicago Nashua beaten by Swaps in the Kentucky Derby
reversed the decision Hes the better one good many
contended. He'd win eight out of 10 from Swaps"
1t is to wonder Nashua has won more money but he
has set many records Swaps Eddie Arcaro
rides Nashua is who refuses him great
horse He's real good Eddie has conceded time after tme
but wouldn't call him great"
Well, is Swaps them great colt? Easterners-most Of
them anyway-whhod judgment horse that blisters
the California tracks and confines his efforts to middle
distance events STILL those times he has been running
can't be completely phony And Swaps been startling
checkers with foreeg that still gives him trouble.
I'd have to this pair other again before
going out limb.
THOSE WHO KNOW FRED HANEY don't have to be told
he is pretty good egg Those who don't him

York.
The hottest skipper of the hottest ball club in the
National League stubborn refuses have any

Guys play their worst ball just before the trade

and Fred won't point it Quit stick pitcher who
is in trouble Grimm Durocher Dresser and few Others
had quick thumb Haney patient like Bucky Harris
ONE OF THE MOST QUICKLY forgotten big names is
Al WE'LL the toughtalkng shrewd manager of Rocky Mar
ciano Unless you count such Willie Troy-if WE'LL still
manages hm-Alphonse is without fighter that
Rocky has retired
Not everybody liked WE'LL Even Marcianos wife, Bar
bara spoke with tongue in cheek when she related her story
recently. But could have won the heavyweight
title without WE'LL? It's to be doubted.
Rocky strong when he first drove down from Brock
ton Mass to New York years ask WE'LL
age him. But he also crude he couldn't hit the ground
with his hat Aphonse to his credit possibilities He
didn't try to teach Marciano himself He hired Charley Gold
to train his tiger WE'LL concentrated on matching
Rocky with guys he figured to lick Sometimes it touch
and CO. as in the first LaStarza fight.
1t is to be presumed that WE'LL took nice bite of
Marcanos earnings But while Al certainly didn't suffer

odds that he'll record saying that he had do it
all over again he'd want WE'LL for his manager

Ball players are horrible fighters The picturesseouence
and otherwiseof the Phley racas prove it, The most
Notable single frame shows Phley leading with his right
both feet of the ground and Grim doing mambo as he
avoids the punch Phey may not have studied
Floyd Patterson and Grim under Arthur Murray but
rumsances Jared the memory.
In 1888 the Senators had pretty good ball club

Earl Whitehl of the Senator'S Buddy Myer course was
involved and pretty soon everybody got into the There
Is distinct memory Of Dixie Walker then Yankee rookie

teammates to the opposite dugout.
Naturally nobody got hurt but the donnybrook seemed
70 do something to the Senator's They got mad and won the
pennant -
