Trainer Thinks
A|hambra Will.
Win Futurity
BY the Associated Press

Alhambra, one of the fastest
colts ever to come out of the
West. will try Saturday to &C
complish something his stable
mate, Greek Game. failed to
do q year ago-win the $780,
000-plus Futurity at Belmont
Park.
Chuck Parke, youngest of the
famous Parke brothers from
Idaho who rode horses and now
trains them. said today he be-
lieved this time one of Fred w.
Hooper's horses would capture
the Futurity and perhaps pick
up some more votes as the q
year-old champion Of 1857.
Second to Bold Ruler
Alhambra is a brown son of
Olympia Robins Charm. bred
in Kentucky by Hooper. a Flor
ida road builder who has a
5.000-acre stock farm near
Montgomery. Ala. Hooper has
a home on Alhambra Circle in
Coral Gables. Fla. and that's
the source of the name.
A year ago Hooper's Greek
Game invaded New York from
Chicago. but finished second to
Bold Ruler in the 61a-furlone
Futurity, which is raced down
the Widener straightaway.
Actually, Alhambra' ha:
started seven races and FIN.
ished first in six of them, but
The was disqualified after a sta.

other horse in the Arlington
Futurity July 20.
In his last Chicago race. the
Washington Park Futurity Au-
gust "a. Alhambra was upset
by the Maine Chance Farms
Jewels Reward. and therein
lies a brother tale.
Jewels Reward is trained by
Ivan Parke, one Of Chuck's
older brothers. and is stabbed
not far from the Hooper horses
at Belmont. Ivan was trainer
for Hooper until earlier this
year when he became i'll. Then
Chuck. who was in charge of
the stock on the Alabama
Farm, took over.
Knew Colt Had Something
II knew this colt had some
thing when / broke him as a
yearling last fall" Chuck re-
called. Everything he did he
seemed to be within himself
He's got more speed than any
horse I've ever seen"
A renewal of the brother
VS.. brother. of Alhambra VS..
Jewels Reward feud, must
await another day. however
for the Maine Chance colt isn't
eligible for the futurity.
Alhambra. who is being rid
den by Eddie Arcaro. has won
four stakes races. the Primer
and Hyde Park Stakes at Ar
lington. and the George Woolf
Memorial and Prairie State
Stakes at Washington Park.
In yesterdays races:
Cohoes ($13) won the Mitch
Iel Field Handicap at Belmont,
Skysweeper ($5.40) took the
feature at Atlantic City. O'Kee-
gan ($8.20) captured the In
dian Head Purse at Rocking

Spohn Is Able to Pitch
Only One Woy-AIIOu

MILWAUKEE,. Sept. Is up.
The formula for a successful
career. especially in sports. can
be summed up in two words,
according to Warren SPAIN,
Milwaukee's great southpaw-
desire and determination.
Those two ingredients have
made SPAIN one Of the great
est lefthanded pitchers in base
ball history. Today, at the
advanced age of SO. the long
jawed pitcher is regarded as
the best in the National League
and a practical cinch to win
the second annual Cy Young
Award as major league pitcher
of the year.
SPAIN, most likely choice TO
open the World Series against
the Yankees next Wednesday,
turned in his 2lst triumph of
the season last night, pitching
the Braves to a f1ve-hit, 6-l
triumph over the Cardinals.
Although the pennant race
already had been clinched,
SPAIN bore down as if this
was the most important game
Of his life. This is typical of
him. He knows no other way.
He gives the best he has at
all times.

to Workman on his recent elec-

II can only say I'm elated. "
Sonny said, obviously hunting
for the right words to express
his gratitude to the sellout
crowd. The attendance was
a tribute in itself. for Sonny
is a Touchdown regular" not
a visiting attraction. He got
a laugh recalling that he'd

here for II years" And when
he finished with a simple
