EQUIPOISE LOSES TWO RACES DURING YEAR; WtSlKOrt 5 NEW MAKR New Tort, Drc 29 (JP) War from Samuel Riddle's bams, Out of the thunder of hoofbeats, pounding down the stretch on the American turf, galloped Equipoise, the mighty little chestnut, to dom inate the 1933 thoroughbred racing program. Carrying the Eton blue and L. IXTMt ney. Equipoise was the only horse to stand above the rank and file in a year of racing featured by the failure of any two or three year old to earn an undisputed claim to the championship of his division, the inauguration of the sport in five states under pari mutuel betting, the general improvement of financial conditions in all states except New York, and the establishment of a modern riding record by Johnny Westrope of Baker, Montana.

Wide ner's Hurry Off, winner of the rich Belmont Stakes, ran in claiming races early in the season and never faced the barrier again after taking down the major share of the $50,000 1 purse.

The two year old championship 1 was just as muddled. Financially, Mrs. John Hay Whitney's Singing Wood, winner of the $100,000 Belmont Futurity, ranked first, but he accounted for only two other victories in nine starts. Charles T. Fisher's Mata Hari, a speedy filly from the west, and her stablemate, Far Star; Bradley's Bazaar, winner of the Hopeful, and th ehighly re garded First Minstrel from Mrs Payne Whitney's Greentree Stable, all rated near the top.

Sets Mark for Jockeys Westrope easily was the class of the jockeys. Starting early in tne year at Miami, the little 16 year old apprentice rolled up the remarkable total of 297 winners by December 18 He passed the modern record of 212 set by Johnny Gilbert, of Pittsburgh, late in the summer. C. V. Whitney again was the lead ing money winning owner, but it took only $241,194 to top the list as compared to $403,681 the previous year.

The young sportsman's silks were in front 136 times, ran second in 127 races and placed third in 141 starts. Winooka, hailed as the sprint champion of Australia, invaded the United States but met with only ordinary success after failing to get a match race with Equipoise. New York Tracks Suffer Five states turned to the thoroughbred as means of replenishing their treasuries. The outstanding sessions were at Rockingham Park, Salem, N. and Arlington Downs and Epsom Downs in Texas, while Ohio, California and West Virginia also took their "cut" of the bets.

Smaller tracks in New York state managed to about break even, but Belmont Park and Saratoga again suffered heavy losses and announced a slice in purses and stakes for 1934 unless the state legislature legalizes some form of betting.

NEW MANAGER WANTS AN ENCLOSED FIELD FOR LEAGUE GAMES One of the most important factors towards the success of the Harris burg Senators baseball team during the 1934 season was discussed yes terday by the newly appointed man ager of the team, Leslie Mann, former Boston Braves outfielder and baseball student, and J. Calvin "Haps" Frank, councilman elect, who will have charge of the Island Park field. Mann, who arrived in town Wednesday, held a conference with Frank relative to having an enclosed field this year. During the past season, the Senators took severe losses mainly through the fact that spectators could easily climb over the fence and into the park.

Mann, Robert Fuchs, the club's new president, and Paul Curley, the new traveling secretary of the Braves, gave a fifteen minute talk on the new administration of the team over station WHP last night. Following their radio address, the three men left for New York. SWIMMERSHANG UP NEW MARKS IN third, onds Y. M. H.

It seems, in fact, that the novelty of having an American League magnate in Boston with money, plus a willingness to part with it, has so impressed the other club owners that they have tearfully yielded a number of their fanciest bits of ivory in ex change for needed cash. Shopping Tour The sensational reconstruction of the Red Sox under the combined influence of Tom Yawkey's money and Eddie Collins's sagacity began only a year ago with the acquisition of some assorted talent from the Chicago White Sox. It included Urban Hodapp, Bob Fothergill, Bob Seeds and Gregory Mulleavy, none of whom will be recognized in the coming year's Red Sox entourage. Subsequently, in a oenevolent mood, the Yankees parted with George Pipgras, Dusty Cooke and Bill werber In a deal with the Red Sox last spring.

Detroit being nominated for the time being as the source of Sox managers, Bucky Harris has been signed to succeed' Marty McManus, a former Tiger infielder who never had much opportunity to show what he could do. Bill Cissell, infielder, was obtained from the Cleveland Indians. The St. Louis Browns sold a battery consisting of Lloyd and Rick Ferrell to the Red last year and now have tradod Carl Reynolds to Boston, in exchange for an assortment including Smead Jolley and Ivy Paul Andrews, former Yankee pitcher. Finally and most important of all, the Red Sox have bought Robert Moses Grove, George (Rube) Wal berg and Max Bishop from the Ath letics.

The price tags attached to Grove and some of the other stars sold this winter are enough to startle the onlooker. They are unexpectedly hign. It is only twenty years since Joe Tinker, then manager of the Cincinnati Reds, was sold for $25,000, a record price, tc the Brooklyn Superbas. The deal subsequently fell through becaut. Tinker jumped to the Chicago federals.

Prior to that the price of $1.1,000 paid by the Giants for Richard (Rube) Mar quard, southpaw star of the Indianapolis club, was a terrific sensation. Until the post war boom days, the 550,000 paid in 1914 by the White Sox to the Athletics for Eddie Collins, then the king of all second basemen, was tops. ST.

Tapl.g Oohlck Totals FROM NANTIC0KE On Saturday evening at the St. Mary's basket ball hall in Steelton, the strong Nanticoke Celtics will meet the St. Mary's five. The Celtics hold the title of being the amateur champions of the coal region section. The visitors boast of a very fast aggregation and their manager writes that the Celtics are out to win this game and break tneir losing streak In the contests played with the Crusaders.

The St. Mary's quintet has play ed the Celtics for the past three years and have won every game but the Coal Miners exoect to come back strong and win this game. The Celtics will greatly strengthen their lineup by probably adding Eddie uaicer, lormer Harrisburg Senator baseball player and former Pitt player. The St Mary's club will start with the same lineup that ap peared against the Harrisburg Senators at the Palestra, Christmas afternoon. Although defeated at Harrisburg, the St.

Mary's boys will work hard in this game against the Nantlcokes to add another victim to their long string.

HAKRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH FRIDAY EVENING DECEMBER 29, 1933 13 Tl EDITED BY WELLINGTON G.JOI HANS KAMPFER BORN WRESTLER Famous German Champion Will Be Here Next Wednesday HANS KAMPFER 1 CAGE LEAGUE TO mm There will be on exhibition a va riety of wrestling stars in the next show that will make the male fans look twice and the female eyes look googly eyed on the night of Wednesday, January 3, at Zembo IvTosque.

For this show sees the return of Hans Rampfer, the magnificently built German, who makes his initial appearance of the season at the Mosque against a clever newcomer, Jim Henry. Kampfer and Henry will tussle in the semi feature match prior to the feature windup between Gino Garibaldi and the hefty Bull Ko mar. Tnis matcn wm nave tne house gaping and in "an uproar from start to finish, Mons. Berto lini promises. Born Wrestlers Kampfer loved to play and wrestle.

Every chance he got he grabbed a boy nearly his size and grappled with him. It got so that Kampfer couldn't get a soul to play the wrestling game with. He was too strong, too big, too great for his playmates. Then he took to the game in a big way. He joined the pro ranks and immediately wiped up everything in the bologna land.

His success was phenomenal. Little wonder, though. He was gifted with a natural grappling sense and to this was lent a perfect body. Three years ago Kampfei won the heavyweight wrestling championship of Germany and last year made his first appearance in this country. Kampfer was an overnight hit.

He won with ease, and his name flew like wild fire over the land. He appeared here a number of times and each time he packed the mat folks in like sardines. He is great to watch, not only because he knows how to wrestle, but because he puts a carcass in there good to look at. He's a study in human physiology. He meets a tough baby in Henry and if he gets past the latter he is well on the way again to the top.

The time tests will find Sid Nabor battling Jack Umberto and Orville Brown taking and giving with Jack Zarnas. These three battles precede the Garibaldi Komar soiree. START AT CARLISLE Carlisle, Dec. 29. The local cage league sponsored by the Y.
