NEW YORK.-William Zeck-
endorf figures he might just
make 1t after all.
His coast-to-coast Webb and
Knapp real estate empire,
which has embraced hundreds
of millions of dollars worth Of
property. has been shaken. 1t
has shrunk. He says it could
collapse.
If it goes, a legend will go
with it. Mr.. Zeckendorf, the
firms board chairman. is prob
ably the nations biggest real
estate man and Is far and away
the best known Of them.
He is a man with a flair for
catching the public eye, the
man who assembled the land for
the United Nations buildings.
who bought and sold the
Chrysler building, who was de-
veloping imaginative plans
not always realized-for re-
modelling great chunks Of cities
One Of these projects is In
southwest Washington.
ION Target"
On his chances Of surviving.
Mr.. zeckendorf says:
"a while back. I said they
were $3.50. Now I say they're
considerably better than that
I think we're on target but
we're not home yet"
That comment comes after
some free-wheeling efforts to
get cash to apply toward $67
million or so in short-term,
high-interest debts falling due
this year. The latest effort
was a public auction in New
York that gained a lot of at
tention but relatively little
cash ($2.6 Million. Another,
bigger auction with more at
tractive terms is slated for this
fall.
A Wall Street real estate
analyst comments hes fam
GUS for bailing himself out. II
I had a couple million dollars
past due to someone. I'd rather
1t would be to Zeckendorf than
anyone else ! can think Of"
Mr.. Zeckendorf, So. has made
debt a way Of life. He borrows
freely. often at very high in
terest rates. in, the belief he
can make much more from the
money than 1t costs him.
He has often treated real
estate like q cavalry general,
grabbing 1t fast. holding 1t just
long enough to produce the
maximum effect, then moving
out In the nick Of time.
He got caught last year. Real
estate prices slipped in New
York and some other cities
Hotel business weakened. A
couple other setbacks reduced
the flow Of revenue to a rela-
tive trickle. What had been a
S2.5-million profit the previous
year turned TO a $l9.5-millior
loss for 1862. And with nc
profits. there was no income
tax against which interest
costs could be charged as @
deduction. Mr.. Zeckendorf had
to pay the full bill himself
He is an easy man TO talk
TO, and about.
His background is essentially
middle class. His grandfather
was a pioneering store owner
at Phoenix, Ariz. His father
was a Paris tTll) businessman

Argentine Stars Steal
Horse Show Spotlight

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. rs
(AP).-Juan Romero Blanch,
the gay, 51-year-old dean of
the Argentine equestrian team,
won't be satisfied until he's rid
den at least once in the Olym-
pics.
Then maybe I'll retire." he
said when asked how much
longer he can stand the grind
of jumping competition.
The colorful Argentinian told
how he always has had two
dreams-one to compete in the
Olympics, the other to ride in
United States shows.
He's doing the latter now for
the first time at the Pennsyl-
vania National Horse Show.
He hopes the other dream will
come true next year.
The crowd roars whenever
the silver-haired rider and his
mount, Black Bird, make their
appearance in the ring.
Riding Since 1912
Blanch has been riding with
the Argentine team off and on
since 1912. He spent two years
1898 and 1939-at a calvary
school in Germany.
But some event always
seemed to force the former
Army captain to miss the
OlympicS.
He attributes most of his
popularity here to Black Bird.
1.-THE crowd loves him be-
cause he's spectacular" Blanch
said, demonstrating with his
hands how Black Bird rears
and jumps.
Arrambide Steals Show
Blanch and Black Bird
teamed up for one first place
and one fourth place in the
first seven events Of interna-
tional jumping last night.

the other outfielders.
Brant Alyea. the big first
baseman who hit Is home runs
for Peninsula, has been cutting
down on his strikeouts, which
was one Of the purposes Of
sen ding him to the rookie
camp.
Frank Garnett, the bonus
infielder, has been slow getting
started. John Kennedy's field
ing has been excellent, but
John is not hitting as yet.
Case said the Senator's are
not overmatched in talent to
the extent that they were IN
this league last year. But he
could use some help.

beat the Yankees and set a
series strikeout record by Whit
fling is in the first game was
just the icing on the cake. The
award is given on regular sea-
son performance only.
Like the strikeout kings of
the past such as Walter john
son and Bob Teller, the o.
year-old Koufax displayed a
blazing fast ball that helped
him set a National League
record Of 306 strikeouts in 3ll
innings. A sharp curve and a
change Of pace contributed to
the bewilderment of the bat
tiers as Koufax won Is games
and lost only five in leading the
Dodgers to the National League
title.
His achievements included a
no-hitter against San Francisco
in May and a 1873 earned-run
average, the lowest in both
leagues. He hurled 20 complete
games and hung up IL shut
outs, the most ever in one sea-
son by a lefthander and the
most in the majors since
Grover Cleveland Alexander, a
Highlander, posted 16 for the
Phillies in 1916.
Career Threatened
The 1868 feats by the hand
some, dark-haired bachelor
were all the more remarkable
since his career almost ended
in July, 1862. He was forced
to the sidelines then by a cir
culatory ailment in the index
finger Of his pitching hand.
Doctors disclosed this year
that they had seriously con-
sidered amputation before Kou-
fax's condition improved.
Koufax joins Don Newcombe
and Don DrySdale as Dodgers
to win the Cy Young Award,
named after the pitcher who
holds the most career victories
Sill.
Other winners Of the award
are Warren SPAIN, Bob Turley,
Early Wynn, Vernon Law, and
