Owner of Giants
Says Durocher
Will Not MANAGE

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20
(AP).-Flatly refuting rumors
that Leo Durocher will succeed
Bill Rigney, President Horace
Stoneham of the Giants said
last night:
"Durocher will not manage
that Giants"
Stoneham is scheduled to
hold a news conference on his
return from Phoenix, Ariz.,
tomorrow. It is expected he
will discuss Rigney and the
Giants plan for next year.
Stoneham was emphatic in
putting down the Durocher ru-
mors. "You can deny that up
and down." he told a reporter.
Durocher recently completed
an executive job with a tele-
vision network and said he
would try to get back into base
ball. He managed the Giants
when they were in New York
and the Dodgers when they
were in Brooklyn.

Attempt to Tax
Tracks Is Killed
At Charles Town

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va,
Oct. 20 (AP).-Charles Towns
efforts to tax the two horse
race tracks in it's area have
been spiked by a court opinion.
Circuit Judge D. H. Rodgers
ruled yesterday that the city
failed to prove the area it an
nexed was urban in character.
The 300-acre area included the
two tracks near Charles Town
was annexed in a special
referendum last June 80. 49,.
The next day, Charles Town
enacted an ordinance imposing
a tax of $3.50 per operating day
on each of the tracks-the old
one operated by the Charles
Town Racing Association and
the new one - Shenandoah
Downs.
The proposed tax would have
meant revenue of $4,000 a
year for the municipality.
Owners of the two tracks
asked Judge Rodgers to review
the legality of the annexation
last August 5. ...
Counsel for Charles Town
said it was not known if the
decision would be appealed.

overhaul Frank Northcutt for
the Shenandoah Downs riding

French rode four more win

booted in AZ.
In bringing home Tryan-
catchme ($7.60), Native Earth

and Oliver Cutshaw had the
same number during the spring
meeting.
Shenandoah will offer an
other free admission again to-
night, with a new car to be

FINAL BIG THURSDAY GAME
Gomecocks, Clemson
Ending Fair Series.

Clemson mascot, tomorrow
night. Also, therell be parties,
hundreds of them, in Columbia,
or as near to that city as peo-
pie can get during State Fair
Week.
Despite the financial and
artistic success of this State
rivalry, Clemson for years has
been anxious to end its connec-
ton with the State Fair dates
and put the game on a home
and-home basis.
Cites Split in Profits
Clemson contends it has not
received an equal share Of the
tickets, and does not share
down the middle in the sale of
programs and concessions. Both
claims have been denied by
officials of the State university.
1t is reasonable to believe
that Frank Howard, Clemson
coach and athletic director
actually is tired of playing each
year at South Carolina. Glenn
sons stadium will be increased
to nearly $4,000 seats after this
season, and Howard believes he
can make as much money play
ing at home.
In two or three years, after
existing schedule commitments
have been fulfilled, the Glenn
son-South Carolina game will
be played on the final Saturday
of the season.
Clemson Favored
North Carolina will take Glenn
sons place on the Gamecock's
schedule during State Fail
Week, but the game will bt
played on Friday instead OF
Thursday. The schools are ex-
pected to sign a four-year con-
tract.
Clemson rules a 1-point IA
vorite over the GamecockS this
week. The Tigers have beaten
North Carolina, Virginia ano
North Carolina State and lost
to Georgia Tech. South Carolina
defeated Duke, Furman ano
Georgia before losing to North
Carolina. Georgia's only loss
was to the Gamecocks.
Tomorrow night about 10000
are expected to watch the Little
"wednesday game between the
South Carolina and Clemson
freshmen. This game also will
he the final in the State Fail
series. Clemson won this one
44-0, last year but lost, 1855, in

Clemson has a 1921 edge ir

Adding to the appeal Of the
colorful 1859 field will be Lau-
rel's new mile grass course,
widened and banked to insure
a truer race.
John D. Schapiro, Laurels
president, was a successful man
before he became head of a
race track, but the Internal
tional, which was his baby, was
taken very lightly in the turf
world when he introduced it
in 1852.
Many observers predicted it
would collapse in a season or
two. That first running, when
Greek Ship, Ruhe and Plaster
represented America, was sup
posed to be a romp for the
home forces and the critics said
an American sweep would spell
the end to another Interna-
tional.
1t didn't happen. Wilwyn
won it and the foreigners took
three out of the four money
positions. Since then better
and better horses have been
coming to Laurel and Amer
lea still seeks it's second UNI

1854 victor, was the only true
American to register, although
the English-b red Mahan
counted as a United States
triumph in 1857.

ton and perseverance in build

Park Falls
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20 (AP)

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20 (AP)
world champion Dodgers
have cleared the last legal bar
rier against construction Of
their baseball stadium in Cha
vez Ravine.
The United States Supreme
Court dismissed without COM
ment yesterday the appeals of
two taxpayers that would have
blocked the City of Los Angeles
from turning over the site to
the Dodgers.
Work on grading the site
started last month after the
California Supreme Court up
held the transaction.
Dodger Owner Walter O'Mal-
ley must renegotiate with the
Los Angeles Coliseum Commits
sion, however, for use of the
big stadium in 1860. His rental
was 100000 a season in 1853
and 1859, plus 10 per cent OF
the gross of the first nine home
games and the concession prof.
its from those nine games.
The Dodgers have made a
lot of money in Los Angeles
in the last two years and AS
sistant City Attorney Ralph
Eubank says the new rental
price offered the Dodgers prob
ably will be somewhere around
$5OO,OOO.
O'Malley has set no firm date
for completion of the Dodger
stadium. He said yesterday
that the two years of litigation
caused a hardship that was
mot only one of delay, but of
financial concern" The cost of
the stadium, he said, has been
increased by $2.5 million,
bringing the total to about SIS
million.

Now that Horse Farm No. 81

this fall it's beginning to ap-
pear that John Schapiro's
dream race is headed for Its
finest hour this Veterans Day
Last year the grass classic
apparently attained the ulti-
mate, when Ballymoss, the Eu-
ropean champion, appeared
along with two Russian thor
oughbreds who helped to pack
slightly more than 10000 into
Laurel.
Now it looks like that spec
tacle. with its bizarre disquali-
flcation, will be trumped.
With IL horses already signed
up for the mile-and-a-half
race. the 1859 field is definitely
the best balanced, and perhaps
the strongest. ever assembled.
Certainly the United States
is fielding its strongest entry
with Round Table, all-time
money winner. and Bald Eagle.
Round Table would probably
be a 1-to-2 favorite if all the
former American representa-
tives in the International
could be matched in a myth
cal race.
The United States, Tudor
Era, who galloped home by 315
lengths, only to be disqualified
in favor Of Australia's Sailors
