Flashco Is Upset Winner of $100,000 Maturity
- I ]
OnTrust, 2-1 Favorite,
Defeated by Neck;
Double Jay Third
By the Associated Press
ARCADIA, Calif., Jan. 31.—Ex
ploding with a burst of speed in the I
final strides, Flashco whipped the
favored On Trust and 11 other
rivals in the inaugural running of
the *100,000 Santa Anita Maturity;
today.
Winging to the front as 57,500
fans thundered in combined sur
prise and dismay, Flashco, owned
by Frank Frankel of San Antonio.
Tex., nipped the vaunted California
bred On Trust by a neck in this
initial running of the Nation's
largest purse reserved exclusively
for 4-year-olds.
Double Jay, racing for the Ridge
wood Stable of Wilmington, Del.,
ran third, a length and one-quarter
behind On Trust, and Louis Bron
stein's Brabancon finished fourth.
Battling around the mile and one
quarter strip for the winner’s purse
of *83,500, it was a horse race from
start to finish, with the lead chang
ing hands at least three times before
Jockey Jack Westrope on Flashco
grabbed it for the fourth and last
time less than 20 yards from the
wire.
E. O. Stice and Sons’ On Trust,
a 2-tol choice, made his move
going into the stretch, pulling
steadily into the forefront midway
down in front of the grandstand.
It looked like On Trust—and sud
denly Flashco boomed from behind
like a rocket to grab the fat purse.
On Trust, ridden by Jockey John
ny Longden and carrying top weight
of 125 pounds to Flashco’s 113, lost
the race through an old habit—he
likes to loaf when he gets into the
front.
On Trust collected $20,000 for sec
ond place, boosting his earnings to
$288,720, while Flashco, winner of
$31,615 in past performances—six
firsts in 40 starts—brought his win
nings to $115,115.
Double Jay won $15,000 for third
and Brabancon $10,000 for fourth.
Westrope, dismounting, said, “I
was pretty far back in the first part
but we had luck getting through and
the horse finished strong. The way
he ran today, he’ll be a factor in the
$100,000 Santa Anita Handicap.”
Shea Succeeds McLennan
CAMDEN. N. J.. Jan. 31 (^.—Ap
pointment of Mathias C. (Ty) Shea,
veteran Eastern horse racing offi
cial. to succeed Charles J. McLen
nan, jr., as racing secretary for the
1948 Garden State Park meeting,
has been announced by Walter H.
Donovan, executive vice president
and general manager of the Cam
den track.
Grid Letter Award
Is 53 Years Late
By the Associated Press
CEDAR RAPIDS, la.. Jan. 31.—
Arthur Huntington today proud
ly displayed an Ohio State Col
lege athletic letter which he has
just received—53 years late.
Huntington, who will be 74
Monday, received the unexpected
award after Renick Dunlap,
captain of the 1895 Buckeye foot
ball team, discovered Hunting
ton never had received recogni
tion although he played as a sub
stitute.
Huntington’s relatives have
given him a scarlet sweater and
the gray letter has been mounted
on it.

score, based on 10-5-4-3-2-1 points
for the first six places, shows Swe
den far out in front tonight with
21 points, all gained in skiing.
Switzerland is second with 15,
Norway third with 14>4 and the
United States fourth with 14 W.
Other national standings: Finland

But tonight, in contrast with yes- j
t.erday, there was every indication ’
that the various countries would be
able to add to those totals. Where
24 hours ago the very continuance j
of the games appeared problemati
cal. today the athletes occupied the
spotlight.
Their defeats in the skating sprint ]
and two-man bobsled, however, were
sore disappointments to the Ameri- i
cans.
The boblet olive wreath went to
the United States in 1936 and pre
meet indications were that the
Americans would retain it. Uncle
Sam s third place was taken by his
No. 2 team, which stepped up its
speed to climb from sixth place in
today's final runs.
Carron’s 276 Pounds Help.
Fortune and Carron are young
sters as bobsledders go, Carron be
ing 25 and Fortune a year older.
But thev pack the weight—Carron
boasts 276 pounds—and they have
the daring that counts.
The American No. 1 sled, piloted
by Tuffy Latour with Leo Martin
as brakeman, had a coupe of slow
runs despite a change of runners
and dropped from sixth to ninth
place in the 15-man field. Orig
inallv, 16 teams competed, but
Great Britain’s No. 2 sled cracked
up today without serious injury to
Wing Commander Anthony Gadd
and Flying Officer W. S. Wellicome.
Latour's sled came here equipped
with long runners for the sweeping
curves at Lake Placid, N. Y., where
he and Martin both live, and he
changed overnight to shorter run
ners for the sharp bends in the
glazed slide here.
Bartholomew and Fitzgerald, the
skaters, were only one-tenth of a
second behind Helgesen in the 500
meter. Tied with them was Tom
Byberg of Norway and in fifth place
came Ken Henry of Chicago.
Henry’s time of 43.3 also bettered
the old record which was shared by
four men, one of them John A. Shea
of the U. S. team in 1932.
American Skaters Baffled.
In four-way tie for sixth werej
Delbert Lamb. U. S. A.. Milwaukee,!
Sverre Farstad and Torodd Hauer,
Norway, and Frank Stack, Canada,
each 43.6.
Coach Peter Miller of Chicago,
although he had hoped for a victory,
said he w’as pleased..
“After all, the boys are entirely
unaccustomed to this style of skat
ing. We are used to skating in a
bunch with the best sprint winning
in the stretch,’’ he said.

arately. Fitzgerald and Bartholo
mew skated against weak oppo
nents and Henry’s foe, Craig
Mackay of Canada, fell 100 yards
from home so none of the Ameri
cans was pushed.
Corey Engen of Huntsville, Utah,
captain of the ski cross country
team, had an answer for the Amer
icans’ showing in the 18-kilometer
event.
*'I am Norwegian-born myself,
but somehow that does not seem j
to be enough. This kind of skiing
requires years of bitter training. T
guess Americans are too easy going."
No Medals for Hockey.
The American finishers and then
times—Wendell Broomhall, Rum-i
ford, Me., 65th, 1:30.40, nearly 17
minutes behind the winner; Don
Johnson. Salt Lake City, 66th,
1:32.03; Ralph Townsend, Lebanon,
N. H„ 74th, 1:37.12; Engen, 75th,
1:37.24, and Gordon Wren, Winter
Park, Colo., 77th, 1:40.12.
Hockey continued to be played on
the ice and in the closed chambers
of the International Olympic Com
mittee.
"Hockey is out and will stay out.,’’
said Avery Brundage of the United
States after an evening session.
"No chance," said Dr. Albert
Mayer of Switzerland, who has
fought to keep Olympic hockey in
St. Moritz.
The International Ice Hockey Fed
eration, which has been read out of
the Olympic family, met, but failed j
to pull out of St. Moritz.
It was reported that a letter hftd
been sent to the Olympic Committee
by the Federation, proposing that if
the AHA team wins it not be given!
Olympic medals, but if any other
comes out on top, the medals are
to be handed out.
Informed sources said the IOC
never would consent to this.
U. S. Team Routs Poland.
America simply swamped Poland.
Jack Riley of Medford, Mass., who
tied with Bruce Mather of Spring
field, Mass., at five goals, made the
most spectacular play of the game
in the third period when with two
of his teammates in the penalty
box, and a full Polish squad on the
ice, he skated the length of the rink
to score.
Riley received a bad cut over the
eye in the last period from free use
of hockey sticks which drew no pen
alty, and several times the Amer
icans objected bitterly to the ref
eree's decisions and scuffled with
the Poles.
Tomorrow comes more ice hockey,
but under what heading no one
seems to know. In addition will be
the 5.000-meter speed skating, the
pentathlon, and ski jumping, in none
of which events does the United
States expect to figure. 1

Chandler WHI Break Bread
With New York Writers
By the A*sociat*d Pres*
NEW YORK. Jan. 31.—Commis
sioner A. B. Chandler discovered to
day that he could attend tomorrow
night's 25th annual dinner of the
New York Chapter of Baseball
Writers.
Earlier Chandler said he would
be unable to attend "due to previ
ous commitments.’’ He had in
tended to leave the city today after
last night's Victory dinner given
by President Branch Rickey of the
pennant-winning Brooklyn Dodgers
to other National League owners.
Chandler will be seated on the
dais at the writers’ dinner, but will
not speak. Principal speakers will
be Bob Hannegan. new president
of the St. Louis Cardinals, and
Mayor William O'Dwyer of New
York.
The Bill Slocum Award for long
and distinguished service to base
ball will be presented to Manager
Bucky Harris of the New York
Yankees, and Johnny Mize, the New
York Giants’ home-run hitting first
baseman, will accept the Sid Mercer
Memorial Award as player of the
year.
Rhode, Levin to Grapple
For Chance at Sexton
Two of the bigger names in
wrestling—Dutch Rhode of Cam
den, N. J., and Dave Levin, former
titleholder—will headline Wednes
day night’s show at Turner’s Arena.
Both are aiming for title bouts with
Champion Frank Sexton and vic
tory could clinch such a shot for
either.

WAKE FOREST, N. C„ Jan. 31.
North Carolina State's Wolf
pack whipped Wake Forest's Dea
cons, 72-43, here tonight for its sixth
Southern Conference basket ball
victory in six starts.
The Wolfpack wasted no time in
showing its superiority, running up
a 21-4 margin in a little more than
eight minutes. When intermission
: arrived, Coach Everett Case's out
fit from Raleigh held a 46-24 ad
i vantage.
The game was a rough affair, with
24 fouls being called on the Wolf
pack and 26 on the Deacons. Eddie
Bartels. State guard, and Red
O'Quinn, Wake Forest guard, were
banished late in the first half for
taking swings at each other.

played before and still was going
away at the finish.
Dodds, whose previous world in
door mark was made in the Banker's
Mile at Chicago, March 18. 1944, re
tired the Wanamaker Trophy on
tonight's victory, his second in a
row in this event.
His spectacular time also wiped
out the Millrose Meet record of
