Why Not Steve Brooks
As Next Fame Rider?

THERE WAS, ON A November day in
1888, this horse named Coventry Gap WIN
ming at the half-mile Shreveport, La, race
track. The horse long has been forgotten,
but not so the rider, precociouS reen-ager
who had been born in a covered wagon at
McCook, Nebr.
1t was the first formal victory of the
kids life, not counting the small triumphs
Savored during five years of county fair
riding, and was his only triumph Of 1888.
All told, Steven Leroy Brooks mounts
earned 1910 that year.
Which is by way of leading up to the
distinct poSSibility-it says here-that
Steve Brooks will be the next saddle artist
elected to the National Jockeys Hall of
Fame after the current balloting There are
five candidates-Brooks, Buddy EnSor, Bill
Hartack, Clarence Hummer and Charlie
KurtSinger-but only one can be chosen.
Brooks won't be shut out in the ballot
ing. He is certain of one vote, anyway, and
he may receive enough others to join the
10 immortals already enshrined in the
Maryland Jockey Clubs Hail. And if Steve
wins he'll be only the third member, along
with the ageleSs Johnny Longden and Will
lie Shoemaker, still active.
THIS is A HARD-RIDING little guy
who was born in a covered wagon because
that was the mobile home of his old man,
John, who rode at fair meetings and wan
dered throughout the West trading horses.
SteveS in his 25th riding year now and the
horses he's ridden have earned more than
$15,205,511.
Coventry Gap was long time ago.
Since that race Brooks has been aboard
some of the great horses, including Cita-
ton, on the day in 1851 he became the first
equine millionaire, as well as Bewitch,
BardStown, Princequillo, Round Table, Pom
der and Two Lea. Only Longden, Eddie
Arcaro, Shoemaker and EnglandS Sir Cor

Canada Enters,
Reds Pass Up
International
BY DICK O'BRIEN
Star Staff Writer

1
Canada joined Laurel's field
for the Washington, D. c., In
ternational today with the en-
try Of the 3-year-old colt,
Lebon M. L., owned by G. Max
Bell, but Joe Cascarella,
Laurels executive vice presi-
dent, said he did not expect an
entry from Russia for this
years race.
Cascarella based his conclu-
sion on the fact that the Rus
sions have given no indication
to date that they would send a
representative horse, and in
view Of the time element, Cas-
carella said he thought the So
VETS had decided to pass up
the invitation.
Asked what the tracks posi-
ton would be if the Russians
suddenly decided to send a rep
resentative at this late hour,
Cascarella declared:
II don't want to make a
statement on this delicate sit
uation which confronts the
country. I can only say we
would have to be guided by our
State Department which GER
tainly would take some posi-
ton in this matter in view of
the Cuban situation.
II will say, however, that If
the Russians come now, in view
Of what has happened, I will be
amazed. We have heard moth
ing from them for at least a
month and our plans are pretty
well set for the race this year."
This will be the fourth time
Bell a Canadian industrialist,
has been represented in the In
ternational. His Indian Hemp,
the sire Of T. v. Lark, last
years winner, ran in the first
International in 1852.
AS a partner in Alberta
Ranches he was represented
by Project II in 1855. A year
later he entered Hindu Wand.
Lebon M. L. might give Bell
his strongest threat yet in the
$125,000 invitational race. In
France this year the colt, sired
by Corte D'Orr II, beat Mon
ade, Europe's best filly, in win
ming the Prix Jacques lie Marois.
Later. Monade, who also is
coming to Laurel, finished sec
ond in the Arc de Triomphe.
The addition of Lebon M. l..
raises the foreign contingent
due at Laurel to six. Already
invited are Japan's Takamaga-
hara, Frances Match III and
Monade, England's Pardao and
Italy'S Delvin.
The addition of Delvin, q A.
year-old colt, was announced
yesterday.
The colt was bred at the
famous Razzs Dormello- Olgiata
Farm and was sold just last
week to Mrs. Mary Blackburn
Petrucci of Rome, a native of
Ottawa, Canada. and wife of
q retired italian Ambassador.
Delvin has raced Is times
and won eight, the last four
in a row. The bay colt is ex-
pected to make another start
in Italy before coming to
Laurel.

TALE OF THE TAPE

Beach in six rounds and won
in 10 over Henry Hank in New
York.
The 31-year-old Fullmer, a
dedicated man in the ring as
well as a dedicated elder in
the Mormon Church outside,
last fought on December 8,
1861, when he knocked out
Benny CKid) Paret in seven
rounds in Las Vegas in what
was to be the next to last
match for the Cuban.
Fullmer and his manager,
Mary Jensen, always have re-
garded Tiger with concern. Just
last night Jensen was asked if
he had any problems. an idle
query at best.
Eyes, Is rounds of problems, T"
Jensen replied. Later, he pre-
dicted Fullmer would win by a
knockout.
Tiger Gets $4,000
Fullmer himself can remind
observers that quite often the
man he most recently beat
didn't beat anyone later. Such
was the case with Fernandez,
to whom he dealt considerable
punishment in August 1861 in
Ogden, Utah. The decision sur
prisingly was split as Fernandez
closed with a rush, and the
next day it developed that Gene
had fought the last few rounds
with a broken bone in his ell
bow.
Tigers guarantee tonight is
a flat $4,000 and a rematch
if he wins. Fullmer gets As per

Tiger" said Tigers American
representative, Jersey Jones Of
New York.
1t should be quite a fight
for most of the is rounds.
Tiger never has been knocked
out. The only time Fullmer has
been knocked out. and the last
time he lost, was in five rounds
by Sugar Ray Robinson May
!, 1857.
Scoring in the event the bout
goes the limit will be on the
California viewpoint system
with the winner of each round
receiving from one to five
points and the loser nothing.

as the best running back in
the conference. Nugent is in
clined to agree.
Strong and Fast
"He's so elusive" Nugent says,
"and just like Mira the way
he can dance away from tack
lers. He's strong, has good speed
and is the kind of fellow who
can make yardage on his own.
You can turn him inside, but
he doesn't go down like a lot
of other guys"
Fortunately for Gamecock
opposition, Gambrell isn't a
Mira as a passer. He's a half
back and, as such, throws only
as a surprise. He passed only
four times last year, but one
was good enough for a touch
down. His value chiefly is as
a rusher and pass-grabber, as
Maryland surely recalls. 1t was
Gambrell's fourth-do leap
ing end-zone catch last year
for one of his two touchdowns
that helped upset the TerpS,
20-10.
Maybe Nugent will have some
difficulty selling his squad on
South Cardinals merits, after
it bowed last week to the North
Carolina team which Maryland
thumped, 31-13. But it shouldn't
be difficult to sell them on
Gambrell, once they see the
game films or think back to
last year.
