SPROT COMMENT
Next Saturday, the 2f>lh, the
annual running of the famous $100
000 Santa Anita Handicap will
take place out on the Coast. And
some of the best horses in the
country will go to the post includ
ing such favorites as On Trust,
Flashco, Double Jay,, Brnbancon,
Triplicate, Olhoverry, Miss Doreen,
Autocrat, Paperboy, Faucon. Bridal
Flower and others. Endeavor II
and Shannon II, foreign entries,
will add an international flavor.
Many turf fans arc picking On
Trust or Flashco to cop the big
event. But the horse to watch will
be Miss Doreen, the little filly that,
came from behind to win over
some of the nation's finest run
ners in the $50,000 Santa Margarita
Handicap a few weeks ago. Though
the track was munV. the fleet
footed Miss Doreen showed enough
speed and stamina to win by
over four lengths. So it might be
a good idea to watch her in the
hundred-grander. Incidentally. Miss
Doreen gave owner Charles S.
Howard his first stakes winning
nt Santa Anita since 1946.
Umpire Babe Pinelli of the Na
tional League declared that the
arbiters should1 get more money.
Top salary now is $10,000. Per
haps umpires should bg entitled
to a better wage. They work
hard and have to put up with a
lot of grief and arguing from the
players to say nothing of the Iron
ing from the fans. They’re on the
spot every minute of the game.
A little more money would serve
as a balm to all those uncompli
mentary remarks they receive so
often. Pinelli also claimed that a
couple of the unips were very
much dissatisfied with the $2,500
each received in the last World’s
Series. They shoitiun't kick over
that. In fact that's more than the
Red Sox received in the 1946 Ser
ies. They only got $2,052 each'as
their share.
You probably haven't heard much
about Jackie Paterson and Rinu
Mcinghan. But there's been quite
a squabble going .on between these
two boys for same fine. Roth are
flyweights. 112-pounacrs, and both
claim the world's title in that
division.
Jackie hails from Glasgow in
Scotland, and has been a hot and
(•old proposition in England.
Sometime ago he met Stan Rowan
and had difficulty getting down to
the 112 pound limit. As a result.
h>“ lost the fight in two rounds.
Jackie vacated*his flyweight throne
and started campaigning among
the bantamweights, the 110-pound
ers.
So Promoter Jack Solomons
went out and staged a world’s
flyweight championship match be
tween an Irish lad by the name
of Rinty Monaghan and Dado Ma
rino of Honolulu. Solomons must
have figured that in Monoghan he
iiad a “ringer" as h,. charged* a
$50 top price, a pretty stiff take
even for the big fellows.
Before the fight. Jackie, the one
who vacated the title, came back
to claim long and loud that they
had no business recognizing any
one but himself as the world’s
flyweight champion. The British
Boxing Board upheld Jackie’s
beef so Solomon’s special event
wasn’t for the world’s title after
all—as far as the B.B.B. was con
cerned. However, Hie National
Boxing Association of America
and the Eire Boxing Board recog
nized the contest as a world's tit
le affair.
I Monoghan and Marino did bat
' tic—and it turned out to be one*
of the dullest fights ever staged
in England. The crowd booed
throughout the fifteen round’s.
Monoghan won but. figuring that
maybe the boys who paid $50 did
not get their money’s worth, he
: favored them with a couple of
| songs and an Irish jig. There's
no doubt Monoghan will go plac
| es.
j As the picture now standsfJack
'•<' claims he's champ and is rec
ognized as such in the British
Empire. Monoghan. tho lad with
a golden voice claims he’s champ
am* is recognized as such in this
country and Ireland. These two
buys should get together and set
tle their little dispute. In uphold
ing Paterson's beef, the B.B.B.
gave him until March 31st to de
fend the title against Monoghan.
i So maybe! this big squabble be
tween two little men will end
S' on. It's la t too important. As
'mie fight fan put it: “Neither one
l as any busines being champ."
Armed, the tret7 Horse of the
year and Assault: the triple crown
winner of 1940. will renew their
racing n'ue-l this Saturday in the
Widener at Hialeah down in Flo
rida. Armed has not been impres
sive in recent races and some
seem to think that he may he
through as a big threat. On the

Joe Louis looked slow and off
form in his exhibition bouts in
Ch'cago an Baltimore. No doubt, 1
he's out ol condition but, that
doesn't mean he has lost all of his
snap. The Brown Bomber has one
fight in mind and that’s his June
match with Walcott. Actually, he
is training now for that bout and
these exhibition affairs are a part
of his training. No one was more
disappointed than Louis in the
Walcott fight’. He wants to make
up for that sad showing. So any
thing he may do now, in or out
of th,> ring, can be chalked up
merely stepping stones in a well
planned training program for his
coining tittle match.
