south won the ace OF diamonds
and drew two rounds Of trumps
with the king and ace Of
hearts. Since both Of the long
suits broke badly, this hasty
work on the trumps proved
South's undoing.
Declarer continued with the
ace and king Of clubs. West
ruffed the king Of clubs, drew
dummy's last trump, and forced
South to ruff q diamond.
South still had to lose two
club tricks so was sure to 60
down one, but he ran out Of
trumps and thus went down
two.
1t was not q distinguished
performance, and South didn't
take a bow as he scored 100
points for the opponents. II
once knew a man, during the
war;" North remarked dryly,
who could go down three on
a hand like that. But I wouldn't
want to find fault with the
way you played it,"
Good Partner
This meant that North was
a good partner. We all like a
partner who doesn't find fault.
North wouldn't have found any,
thing to say at all II South
had played the clubs before
drawing trumps.
Suppose South leads out the
ace and king Of clubs at the
second and third tricks. West
ruffs the king of clubs and
returns a diamond, forcing
South to ruff. South gives up
a club to the jack and ruffs
the diamond return.
Only now can South afford
to draw two rounds of trumps.
He then leads a low club to
ruff in dummy. South returns
to his hand with the king of
spades and leads the last club.
West gets two trump tricks
and East gets q club, but
South easily wins the rest to
fulfill the game contract.

can't win stakes and handicaps keep send
ing them out for piece of the money,
which invariably is considerable. Take the
Champagne Stakes for two-year-oldS at a
mile last Saturday
1t was worth $212,15O and, truthfulIy,
was a pretty wide open affair. Even so,
not all Of the II owners of the entries
could have harbored dreams Of winning
the big pot Of $152,15O, which went to
Roman Brother. Just place money alone
was worth $4,000, guaranteed.
It was worth $4,000 to finish third,
$4,000 to be fourth. Only eight years ago
Beau Fond won the Champagne and drew
only $22,700.
YOU GET A CHRONIC loser in your
stable, don't sell or give him away. He
might keep you solvent For example, Lou
WolfSon (who also owns Roman Brother)
has five-year-old gelding in his stable
called Garwol. This one will be tackling
Kelso on Saturday, but only technically.
Garwol almost never wins race, yet
he's earned $S48,656 in four years of racing
The one stakes he did win was the Pimlico
Futurity, back in 1860. Garwol VS.. Exter-
n1inator? No contest. One captured so
races, the other solo. Yet Garwol has
won almost 100000 more than Old Bones
Fred Hooper has owned some pretty
good horses in his time, notably Hoop, jr,
winner of the 1945 Kentucky Derby, and
Olympia, the Sprinter His horse AdmiraIs
Voyage hardly is Hall of Fame candi-
date, having won only three stakes in his
life, but he buys his own oatS-$361, 656
worth, so far.
SEEMS LIKE NO BIG stakes or handi-
cap is complete any longer without Bobby
Dotter's five-year-old GuadalcanaI in the
field. He'll be in there Saturday and about
the most to be said for the veteran is that
he likes to go a distance.
Guadalcanal hasn't won as much mon
ey as Exterminator, only $176,197 On the
other hand, Guadal's never finished first
in a stakes event, which might be some
sort of record. Some day you might
look it up.
KelSo, though, is Horse That Has
Everything. Money, class and a niche in
the Hall of Fame awaiting him, like stan

Houk Named
Pilot of Year
In American

NEW YORK, Oct. IS (AP)
Ralph Houk, who guided the
Yankees to the American Lea
que pennant in 1868 despite
injuries to Outfielders Mickey
Mantle and Roger Maris, was
an overwhelming choice as the
American League manager of
the year today.
In the balloting by II base
ball writers in the annual As
ISOLATED Press poll, Houk re-
ceived So votes. AL Lopez, pilot
Of the Second-place White Sox,
was runnerup with six votes.
The voting was based on the
regular season performances.
Sam Mele of the third-place
Twins and Chuck Dresser, who
took over the Tigers on June IS
and led them into a birthplace
tie with the Indians, each COL
lected two votes.
Bill Rigney of the Angels,
the AL manager of the year
in 1862, Johnny Pesky of the
Red Sox and Gil Hodges of
the Senators, had one each.
Houk, the Yanks' leader since
1861 when he replaced Casey
Stengel, had his most difficult
assignment last season after
Mantle suffered a broken bone
in his left foot while chasing a
fly ball in Baltimore June S.
At the time Of Nantes in
jury the YankS were tied for
first place with the Orioles and
White Sox. Houk moved Tom
fresh from leftfield to Nantes
position in center and also got
considerable mileage out of
John Blanchard, MariS' re-
placement in rightfield.
Mantle, who was out Of the
regular lineup for almost three
months, played in only IS
games. Maris, hampered by
back and hand injuries, ap-
peared in only 80 games. De-
spite this, the Yanks won the
pennant by 1917 games.

Carolina League, but after hit
ting only PIT in 81 games the
Senators sent him to Wiscon-
son Rapids Of the Midwest
League. He also was in 81
games in the lower classified
ton and hit .225.
DeHart, who played at WASH
ington-Lee High, Federal Stor-
age in sandlot ball, the Basin
League in semipro and at Car
son-Newman College, hit 90
homers for Geneva last season
after being signed by the Sena-
tors. He batted in 70 runs and
hit 29S. DeHart is %.
IrrevOcabIe Waivers
If the Senators should give
up on any Of the three players
during the season next year,
they can be released only on
irrevocable waivers for the
$4,000 waiver price.
/ They will be eligible for three
options after 1864. Tommy
Brown was in this category with
the Senators last year and now
is eligible to be optioned.
Two Of the eight players sent
to Toronto, Middledorf and
Stillwell, may be back with the
Senators at a later date. But
If anybody drafts Middledorf,
the club must keep him for
the entire year.
Stillwell was badly injured In
a collision with another York
player in August. He may be
out part Of next season due to
injuries.
Burnside is the dean Of the
players sent to Toronto. The
33-year-old southpaw was
traded to the Orioles in a five
player deal last year, but the
Senators gave him another
chance after he was released
by the Orioles. He was in 81
games with the Senators and
had an OIL record, which
brought his major league record
to 10 victories and 81 defeats.
If Moeller is not drafted,
the Senators may take another
look at him in spring training
He had a sore arm most OF
the time after being purchased
from the Angels.
OF the eight players assigned
to Toronto, Osborne probably
was the biggest disappointment
He had q fair start, but ba-
looned to heavyweight proper

ted only .212. and struck out

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Gold Cup, Annual Title
KeIso's Present Goals

IT'S BECOMING SORT Of a memory
test, you realize, whether horse of any
age can be named Horse-of- the-Year.
People with short memories must think
the honor is reserved for four-y ear-old
and up critters. Specifically, KelSo
If there is such as a sure thing in
racing it is that on Saturday at Aqueduct,
the fabulous six-year-old gelding will win
the $100,000added Jockey Club Gold Cup.
And when KelSo completes this little job
or even if he doesn't for some implausible
reaSon-he's pretty certain to be Horse-of-
the-Year for 1868.
This will make it four straight for
KelSo. Winning both, that iS-the Gold
Cup and H-of-the-Y. No other runner has
even come close but, of course, there have
been few, if any, horses like Kelso in all
history
The Gold Cup is a weight-for-age
classic at two miles. Pretty stern test,
couple of miles, but Kelso won it in 1860
when he was three-year-old In 81 and
$50 he repeated at odds-on. If he doesn't
win on Saturday it will be like the Yankees
losing four straight in the World Series.
THE OLD BOY who represents the
Bohemia Stable seems to be getting better
all the time And certainly richer. Kelso
won eight of 10 starts this year, all stakes,
and for his career he's banked $1,485,91
for Mrs. Richard C. dupont.
There's only one horse ahead of him
on the all-time money-winning list and
that's Round Table, who won $1,749, 869
oddly, you hardly ever hear people speak
of Round Tables greatness, yet he won all
his loot in four years of racing)
The size of a bank account shouldn't
be the way horses are rated. Round Table
isn't considered a great of history but
Exterminator is. Old Bones campaigned for
eight years Q917-24 and won so of his
100 races. Yet in these times of small
purses (but honest dollars he won only
S252,996. A top two-year- today doubles
that figure.

walk-over, They simply would have Saddled
KelSo and galloped him over the distance
all by himself.

The Senators today an
nounced the selection Of
Pitcher George Angel and In
fielders Tom DeHart and Frank
Garnett as the three first-year
players who will be charged
to their 25-man roster for the
entire 1864 season.
This means that the club
will operate mostly with % ex-
perienced players during the
main part of the season.
In building for the future,
General Manager George Sell
kirk decided the club could not
afford to risk the three young
prospects to the December
draft. In order to protect them
he must keep them for the
entire year.
Eight Players Assigned
The Senators cleared eight
places on their 40-man roster
yesterday by assigning eight
players to Toronto, their new
Triple-A affiliate. Six Of the
eight were with the Senators
for part Of last season.
Pitchers Pete Burnside. Ron
Moeller, Ed Hobaugh and Carl
Middledorf, Catcher Cal Nee
man, Outfielder Barry Shet-
rome and Infielders Ron Still

placed on the Toronto roster.
Thus they will be eligible for
the major league draft.
There is a slight chance that
one or two of these players
may be invited to the Senator'S
Pompano Beach training camp
for another look If they are
not drafted.

Fighter Dies Day and a Half After Knockout
Heavyweight
Fought for
$3.50 Purse

DIAL 4MOfSE, OCI. 10 NARJ -
Heavyweight Ernie Knox died
in a Baltimore hospital this
morning, a day and a half
after he battled for a $3.50
purse.
Doctors said a blood clot on
the brain killed him, and even
had he lived he would have
been partly crippled. Knox died
at Provident Hospital at 6 am.
He was knocked out in the
ninth round Of his fight with
Wayne Bethea of New York
Monday night.
Knox, floored for a nine
count earlier in the round, lay
on the canvas for nearly 10
minutes after a volley of Be-
thea punches sent him there
at lis.
The 26-year-old Baltimorean
was carried from the ring. In
the dressing room, doctors
checked for signs Of brain
damage and said they found
none. But they ordered Knox
to the hospital as q precau-
ton.
Blood ClOt Removed
At the hospital Knox seemed
all right until early yesterday
morning, when he lost con-
seriousness. An emergency OPP
Grafton removed a blood clot
from his head.
The loss was the fighters
sixth in 10 bouts; he won 10

one, before the Bethea fight,
was nine months ago when he
defeated Slim Jim Robinson
in Reading, Pa.
Between bouts, he sometimes

with Ezzard Charles, former

Mismatch, Mayor Says
Mayor Theodore r. McKeldin,
noting Bethea's advantage In
weight and experience, called
the fight a mismatch and said
he would seek to ban profess
sional boxing from Baltimore's
new Civic Center. The Mon
day bout was held across town
in the old Coliseum.
IF boxers can't be properly
protected and If there can't be
proper supervision, the sport
should be outlawed," McKeldin
said shortly before Knox died.
In Annapolis, Gov. Tawes
said he asked the Maryland
Athletic Commission to investi-
gate the death of the fighter
Tawes said he had asked the
chairman of the commission to
determine if rules for the pro-
lection of boxers were followed
