Betting Pool
Sets Record in
Las veuasGo|f

LAS VEGAS, April % (AP)
Gene Littler was rated the
favorite in the record-breaking
Calcutta pool today for the
$4,000 Tournament of Cham
pions golf tournament.
The betting pool was $780,
900, eclipsing last years record
$226,000. as several hundred
golf-minded wagerers took a
chance on their favorites in the
field of 26 players.
Littler sold for $4,000. Just
behind were Art Wall, the Mas
tiers champion, at $25, 600; Stan
Leonard, the 1858 winner, $24,-
900; Cary Middlecoff $4,000,
and 1858 runnerup Billy Casper
$21, 900.
Singer Frankie Lame bought
Littler in the pool for the fifth
straight year. Littler has won
the tournament three times,
and each time Laaine has col
lected on him.
In the Calcutta, which is
legal in Nevada. individuals or
groups bid on the players. Out
of the total, 10 per cent comes
off the top for the Damon
Runyon cancer fund. The
owner of the winning player
wins 40 per cent of the total
amount after the 10 per cent
deduction.
The Calcutta is frowned
upon in some States, although
it is a common practice in
many places. 1t is encouraged
in Nevada.

Cords Ask Court
To Rule on Rookie

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April
% (AP) The Chicago Cardi-
nails went to court yesterday to
keep Jerry Wilson, 220-pound
Auburn end, from playing in
the Canadian League next
season.
The National Football League
club asked Chancery Court for
an Injunction to prohibit VII
son from playing for the
Edmonton Eskimos or any pro-
fessional team other than the
complainant during the 1859
professional football season"
1t was believed to be the first
court test Of a three-year- old
agreement between the football
leagues not to raid each other
for players.
The Cardinals contend that
Wilson made an oral agreement
with them in Birmingham last
December 10 to play for them
in 1859 for 1000.

Rate Jordan,
Atkins Tossup

| O1. 1JO1O, April 20 AAEJs-
Don Jordan, the still-hungry
champion from Los Angeles,
puts his welterweight title on
the line against erratic Virgil
Atkins of st. Louis tomorrow
night in Kiel Auditorium in q
revival of the ancient boxing
argument of who's better-the
slugger or the boxer. (The
fight will be shown over WRC
"A in Washington at 10 p.m.)
The oddsmakers are calling
the fight all even-6-to-5 and
take your choice. Atkins. a
somber and silent puncher, is
ready for a desperate bid to
regain the crown.
The 24-year-old champion is
anxious to prove his December
victory over Atkins in Los An
geleS was no fluke. Jordan,
part-Apache and one of 10
children, has gathered in little
loot in the way of Endorsements
and appearances.
Champ Is Relaxed
1--WE had to make it in the
ring" he said. The champion
is relaxed and confident and
rising fast under Manager Don
Nesseth, after five ordinary
years as a pro under several
other managers.
The fight is hard to figure
because the career of the 81
year-old Atkins is SO checkered.
Atkins has been up and down all
the way. When he's having a
good night, he appears capable
of knocking out any fighter in
his class. But when he's having
an of night, he looks terrible.
Atkins appeared dumfounded
by Jordan's rushing style which
gave him little punching room
in their first fight. 1t appeared
that Jordan could beat him
seven days a week. 1t was
hard to believe he was the
same Atkins who had blasted
Vince Martinez around at will
for the title just six months
before.
Yawitz Not Worried
Atkins manager, Eddie va
witz, declared he isn't worried
about what style Jordan uses
this time, because Virgil is
mentally ready and that's all
it takes.
But many ringSiders are just
as certain Jordan will be too
fast for him again.
It's known that Atkins is
badly in need of the money
this fight and another title
bout would bring him. If he
loses. he faces probably f1Stic
oblivion. If he wins, Promoter
Sam Muchnick is talking of a
big outdoor fight with Carmen
Basilio in Busch Stadium.
home of the Cardinals.
Muchnick predicts a crowd of
about $500 and a gate of about
$4,000 for tomorrow nights
fight.
Jordan has won A of SIS
fights, IS by knockoutS. Atkins
has won 40 of SO, % by knock
out, with 10 defeats and one
draw. The champion has won
10 of Is fights away from his
hometown while Atkins has lost
only twice in Is fights in st.
Louis.

Fifth Of q Series


sport fell during the '30s--
harness racing has been re-
garded as poor mans sport
while thoroughbred racing gen.
orally is assumed to be only
for those who are holding heavy
money.
Harness racing is anything
but a poor mans sport.
How much does 1t cost to
raise a prospective trotter or
PAGER? How much does 1t cost
to race him?
One energetic and talented
farm superintendent claims
that it costs his farm about
$4,000 to prepare a yearling
for the sales ring. There are
myriad expenses in breeding a
coIt-feed for the mare. food
for the weanling, veterinary
fees, blacksmith charges. care
by professional personnel, stakes
and futurities payments for
future racing, stud fee, sale
preparation, plus a few other
odds and ends.
Farmer Can Cut Cost
He admits that If you own
a small farm you may raise a
colt for half or even one-third
of that figure. However, you
may not be producing a colt in
the same class with one by,
lets say, Dean Hanover, a colt
with full brothers and sisters
that have already earned their
keep at the races.
How much does it cost to
race a trotter or PAGER?
There's a wide variation in
that cost, depending on the
class of racing you want to
select for your horse. However,
| it is generally agreed that you
must be prepared to lose at
least $4,000 in a single season
If your horse misses the win
ner'S circle consistently.
An animal which is raced for
big money on the Grant Circuit,
the big league for trotters, needs
to win about $4,000 annually to
stay out of the red.
$500 Monthly Upkeep
It takes about $500 a month
to keep the horse racing from
Rosecroft in May to Brandy
wine in early October. One
hundred of this goes to the
trainer and another 5000 to a
man who takes care of the
horse. Shipping bills run be-
| tween $50 and SIS monthly.
About $50 a month goes to the
blacksmith. Veterinary fees
average about $45 monthly, and
another $3.50 may be paid in
entry fees.
When the horse is through
racing in october, another SITS
has to be shelled out to keep
him. There goes the $1,000
and maybe more.
There's a more economical
! way to race a horse, although

his chances Of huge winnings
will be curtailed sharply.
Let's listen to the procedure
OF a very able trainer who al
ways races a small stable
around Maryland and Della
ware. This man is a veteran
driver. too.
He feels that an owner can
get by on about $2.500 annually
per horse If he sticks in the
stable. If the owner stays with
in the Maryland Delaware cir
icut and does not ship to far
away places. his costs are
sharply reduced.
This trainer also shaves ex-
penses whenever possible and
keeps a sharp eye on the bills
He charges the owner 500 a
month to train the horse. He
estimates that fees cost $50
monthly and shoeing at least
SIS.
Needs Tailored Sulky
The veterinary bills vary
widely, depending on how
sound the horse is and the con-
dition he is able to maintain.
On top Of that the owner must
provide a sulky at around $500
every horse needs his indi-
vidually tailored bike" The
harness takes another $125 to
$165.
A horse winning $4,000 an
nually may not sound like an
exceptional performer, but
probably no more than Is per
cent of the trotters and PAGERS
who went to the starting gate
last year achieved that bracket.
A total of 1906 horses went
to the post in 1858 and raced
for purses exceeding $27,572,-
$50. That means that the aver
age horse that went to the races
last year earned about $1,733.
Obviously great many raced
at a loss to their owners.
Apparently such a loss does
not discourage many owners.
The pleasant tap-tap-tap of
hoofbeats is music to many
ears in this world of ulcers and
high blood pressure. However.
the pleasure and health-giving
satisfaction of racing a good
horse cannot be counted in
mere dollars.
