Gallup. N. Tuesday, April 22,1941 THB GAtLtJP INDEPENDENT Experts Term Future Books Sucker Stuff-Bui Use Them By JUSTIN ANDERSON AP Feature Service LOUISVILLE, you would like to make a wager in the Kentucky Derby future book? The futurebook, sometimes cabled the winterbook, is considered one of the things that has made the Churchill Downs classic America's premier turf event, but it has made few people rich, if you take the word literally. The record of futurebook favorites isn't a bright page in Derby history. Since 1919 only three of the 22 book favorites have entered the winner's circle on Derby Day.

Three have come in second, five fourth, one fifth, two sixth, one tenth and one twelfth. Six did not start. Picking a winner out ol 100 or more nominees each year requires the luck of a Corrigan, the foresight of a never-miss some money. A good horse and some horse sense are helpful but not necessary. Bookies Too Smart It can be profitable if you are able to get good odds on the right horse.

But usually prices on the most likely starters are close. Bookmakers aren't in the charity business. Col. E. R.

Bradley, whose horses have won more derbies than those of any other owner, is said to consider the futurebook wager a "sucker" bet The story is told that in 1921, he bet considerable money at good fu- turebook odds on Black Servant to win the Derby. Behave Yourself, which Bradley also entered just to down any fast-stepping horses that might try to beat Black Servant (and he wasn't the book favorite either) won the race with Black Servant second. So Bradley won his first derby, and lost a small fortune. A simultaneous los, 'tis said, was his appe- Suits and Overcoats 75. Dresses and Suits 75c Pants and "Skirts CARBON CITY CLEANERS ill So.

Parke Sellard OPTOMETRIST DISPOSE: One of the future book favorites lite for futurebook wagering. Several who layed Bimelech last year iust feel pretty much UIL- same about winter wagering. Bimmy is the most recent example of why futurebook players sometimes go wild. Upsets Happen Hailed as a "sure thing," the Bradley colt, unbeaten as a 2-year- old, was backed down to 7 to 10 when the books closed. He was a sentimental favorite, loo.

Tiie experts conceded there was little in the field to bother him. Before a stunned crowd, however, Gallaha- dion beat Bimelech badly and the Bradley colt barely nosed out Dit for the place. Bookmakers reaped a harvutt of greenbacks, despite the fact they had to pay a farcy return to supporters of Gaily, they must have been few, judging from the price he paid. The trio of horses that have lived up to the role of futurebook favorite are Morvich in 1922, Reigh Count in 1928 and Gallant Fox in 1930. Earle Sande Picked As Jockey Having Done Most For His Riding Profession By MASON BRUNSON BALTIMORE, April 22.

Earle Sande, whose riding feats made racing history a few years ago, was singled out by the jockey's community fund and guild today as the jockey who has done the most i to honor his profession. The little guy, who booted home three Kentucky Derby winners and was considered tops in the hazardous riding game before he turned trainer, will be honored for his "fairness and sportsmanship" at a testimonial dinner to be given by the Jockey's Guild following the Prcakness at Pimlico, May 10. The dinner was arranged by a committee consisting of Irving Anderson, Sam Rcnick, Eddie Arcaro, Johnny Gilbert, Harry Richards, Leon Haas, Don Meade and Alfred Robertson. Anderson is chairman and Rcnick will be master of ceremonies. Richards is president of the guild.

"Worthy of Honor" "In selecting Sande," said the committee, "the directors considered that he, besides being one of the outstanding riders of this genera- tion, has also shown himself by his display of fairness and true sportsmanship, to be worthy of the honor that is to be bestowed upon him." Sande was selected over such horsemen as Max Hirsch, Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, Johny Loftus, Lou Schaefer, George Odom and Andy former jockeys who turned trainers. Sande came out of American Falls, Idaho, just after the first World War, bringing with him a tfift of showmanship and riding talent that made him the toast of the tracks for more than a decade and him as one of the greatest jockeys of all time. He won the Kentucky Derby aboard Zev in 1928, came back two years later to win with Flying Ebony and guided the great Gallant Fox to victory in 1930. He had 122 winners each in 1922 and 1923 and Havre De Grace, on April 17, rode six winners in a row. 20-30 Boxing Meet Plans Are Complete With plans (or completing building of a special ring scheduled fur Wednesday night at the junior high school, arrangements (or (lie Third Annual 20-30 Club Amateur Juvenile boxing tourna- iiHjitl neared completion in preparation for opening the three-day series Thursday night.

Under the regulations, team in each weight or not more than two in any one be named prior to the series. These boys will vie tor team trophies. Olhcrs from the same school bat- tic Cor individual awards, their victories not being counted toward the trophies. Defiance Team Strong Lewis R.

Caire, of Fort Defiance, is entering one of the strongest of the outside aggregations. His heavy talent list led to a "selective" series at the school two weeks to weed out the lesser challengers and provide lop men for each of his teams. Sacred Heart Cathedral high's entrants are being trained by George Avila, well-known local fighter, who is expected to turn out a team of adequately trained experienced and novice battlers whose competitive feeling toward Gallup senior hig! and junior high students is antici putcd to provide extra thrills and of action. Ex-Champ Coach Isadore Danoff, 20-30 club member and former Border Conference champion while on University' of New Mexico teams, has trained senior high's boys to a fine point and will have two full teams entered. Fred Melton, junior high coach, has a goodly supply of lightweight talent and expects to enter approximately as many, although his prote- ges may not be able to fill the higher weights.

Crownpoint, home of the now- famous "Half-Ton Tony Galento," who won tournament iame in the first series with his haymaker slugging, has a team of unknown prowess but as usual, undisputed rights to challenger positions this year. Lesser groups are entered from other reservation points, which with the "unattached" boxers makes for a well-rounded entry list. Weighing in and pairing of fighters will be held Thursday morning.

Jeffra, returning to action after an extended layoff, gained the decision easily but was unimpressive. The champion's timing was poor and his general form was spotty.
