Unusual On Pacific Coast structed to go along just for the ride and never to cross him. Malicious paces himself with a free rein. He refuses to run until he Is ready and then often is 30 to 40 lengths behind. But he always is In contention at the wire. He races only on Saturdays and always at two miles.

He runs best on Saturdays because there always is a big crowd to cheer him on and the old fellow likes the ring of that sweet noise in his ears. Three wecis ago he won his first start of the year and received a bigger ovation than did Azucar, Top Row, Rosemont or Stagehand the days they won the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap. The customers started yelling when Malicious left the gate. He was eleventh by 28 lengths at the half, eleventh by 20 at the mile, tenth by nine at the mile and a half and first at the wire by three. He very craftily let his opponents burn themselves out in the early going and then he started to sprint.

At the head of the stretch lengthened his stride, lowered his head and flattened his fuzzy ears From the top of the grandstand the caller announced "and here comei Malicious." The fans rocked the big grandstand with their applause They still were yelling 15 minutes later when Malicious, wrapped in his big red blanket, stalked haughtily back to his barn. Santa Anita never has heard anything like it and probably never will again. Malicious' present owner. Mrs. Silvio Urban of Pasadena, has hired Copenhaver especially 10 train him.

She also has given him the blanket. It is the only one at the track which bears the horse's name instead of the stable. He will be raced for two more years and then put out to pasture. When he has passed on, there Is talk of burying him in the Infield and erecting a statue to his memory. For months newspaper handicap-pers tried to outguess him.

They consistently picked him to run sixth, seventh or last. Now they've given up. Last time he ran he was first choice. One handicapper's comment was: "Why try to but head against stone wall?" Which is what Malicious has been rondering for most of his 12 years. Miklog Szabo To Run Here New York.

Meade May Ride In New York Great Little Jockey Will More Than Likely Be Reinstated By THOMAS H. NOONE United Press Racing Editor New York. Feb. 7 (UP) Don Meade, jockey No. 1, will make his New York debut during the Jamaica meeting in April if he is granted a license to ride on the Metropolitan circuit this feason.

Meade, who was automatically denied the privilege to ride at American racetracks after being ruled off the turf two years ago in Florida, was restored to good standing by the Florida Racing Commission last December. New York recognition of his reinstatement by that body appears certain. While no application for a license to ride has been filed with the Jockey club in New York, there is little doubt that Meade will be given a clean bill of health. A survey of the rules of racing indicated. When questioned today Herbert Bayard Swope, chairman of the New York State Racing Commission, declined to comment on the prospect of Meade being re-instated by the Jockey club.

He said the racing commission had no authority to act until an appeal from the decision of a case by the Jockey club was made. Obviously It would be improper for me to comment on this or any other cafe that has not been officially brought to the attention of the Racing Commission," Swope said. "My associates and myself have agreed, however, to head all the evidence in Meade's case if, and when, it is brought to our attention." Major Algernon Dalngerfleld, spokesman for the Jockey club, also declined to discuss the Meade case other than to say that no application from Meade has been received as yet. He said the necessary pro cedure would first be the filing or an application to ride with the board of governors of the Jockey ciuo. xne members of the board are William Woodward.

Joseph E. Cowdin, A. H. Morris, J. E.

Davis, Robert A. Fairbairn and George H. Bull. The application Is next referred to the licensing committee which is composed or J. E.

Davis. A. H. Mor ris and Joseph E. Widen er.

Of this committee denies the application toe applicant tnn has recourse to the Racing Commission on appeal. The latter body then sits with two stewards of the Jockey club as a court of last appeal. Their decision is final. That Meade's application would receive at least friendly considera tion is indicated by the presence of widen er on the licensing commlt- i tee He is president of the Miami Jockey club, operators of tale ah Park, Florida, where Meade is now riding with phenominal success. If Widener did not feel that Meade's reinstatement was Justified it would be reasonable to suppose' he would not permit the boy to ride at his track.

By WHITNEY MARTIN New York. Feb. 7 (AP The method might have been a little quicker, but the management couldn'thave done a more thorough Job of removing the color from the St. Louis Cardinals If it had let them hang by the ears in the rain. For the Cardinals aren't just faded; they're positively bleached.

Not so long ago a promotion to the St. Louis equad was equivalent to a call to the colors. When the Red Birds weren't leaving black and blue marks on the opposition they were leaving faces red by verbal outbursts. The only colorless thing about them was their drinking water. Dean Goes To Cubs Then the fading process began.

Dizzy Dean, the reddest of the red spots, was shipped to the Cubs, leaving his silent partner, brother Paul, as just another ball player. Frankie Frisch. rough and ready and reared in the John McGraw school, and the iron fist of the Gas House gang, was eased out. Uppy DurocheF, Ripper Collins and others who helped make the Cardinal slogan "Never a dull moment" really mean something, are gone, and now, to make the fading process complete, the hobbles have been put on the wild horse of the Osage Pepper Martin. His Mudcats are mired.

Roy Stockton, St. Louis Post-Dispatch writer, is authority for the details leading up to the disbanding of that famed musical organization which toured the midlands during the off season assailing the ears of the natives with vocal laments and strange noises emanating from guitars. Branch Rickey. Stockton relates, cornered the Wild Hoss and in a one-sided oratorical contest convinced Pepper that maybe the world could get along without the Mudcats. He did not make the order mandatory, but listening between the words Pepper got the idea.

Anyway, the disbanding of the Mudcats appears to be the severing of the final link between the Cardinals of yesterday and the Cardinals of tomorrow, and the rainbow will shift Eastward, where Larry Mc-Phail and his Brooklyn Dodgers will continue to paint baseball in gaudy hues.

Proceeding the duel between the East's two top ranking fives will be interborough rivalry between Fordham and City College, with the Rams making their first appearance of the season in the nudtown court. Long Island U. will be seekintr its fourteenth consecutive triumph of xne season and its win streak is iminent danger of cracking in its last Garden test of the regular season. This will mark the first game for the Blackbirds since Art Hill house graduated and Coach Clair Bee Is not optimistic over the outcome against the Pittsburgh district champions. If the Blackbirds get by this terrific test they will then have but seven garner to go for an unbeaten season, with St.

Francis on the court and LaSalle in Convention Hall, Philadelphia, as the toughest tests of the seven. The Duquesne contest will be the last of the season for Long Island in the Garden unless the Blackbirds are chosen to compete in the second annual national Invitation tourney sponsored by the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Assn to be contested March 15. 20 and 22.

Feb. 7 (UP) The mighty Seabiscuit goes out tomorrow to justify his rating as future book favorite for the fifth running of the $100,000 added Santa Anita Handicap, the stake that may enable him to supplant Sun Beau as the turfs biggest money winner. The Charles S. Howard Handicap champion was named for a $2,000 allowance race over a mile route, his first start since defeating War Admiral at Pimlico last Nov. 1.

The Biscuit will face only two rivals, Mrs. E. Denemark's War Minstrel, winner of the Stars and Stripes Handicap at Arlington Park last season, and the French Lick Springs Stable's Marica, America's top mare. Seabiscuit, now just $36,000 shy of the $376,744 Sun Beau record, will carry top weight of 128 pounds on the age scale. War Minstrel will handle 114, and Marica one pound less.

The race will be the first start this winter for Marica, and the second for War Minstrel, who ran out of the money in a previous effort. Trainer Tom Smith, who has an nounced the Howard Stable will be shooting with Seabiscuit in the big handicap despite the possibility Sorteado and Kayak II may accom pany him, did not disclose his se lection of a jockey, war Minstrel, who defeated the Biscuit and War Admiral both in the space of eight days last year, will be ridden by Carrol Bierman. Marica will be piloted by her regular Jockey, Bobby Dotter. The skies were cloudy for the program today but the track was fast and hand-tailored for seams cult, who probably would be scratched in event of a heavy rain. The Weather Bureau forecast unsettled conditions.

Seabiscuit now Is priced at 2 1-2 to 1 and 3-1 in future books for the Stanta Anita, which will be run Mar. 4, and is the overwhelming choice Of Western turf writers to capture the $100,000 after losing it to Rosemont in 1937 and Stagehand In 1938. The race tomorrow is ex pec ted to be his only trail sVn, although he may run again in one of the $10,000 Saturday features later in the month. The Howard ace has been sharp in recent workouts. If he wins the Stan Anita he will be retired.

If he fails to run first he will be kept in training until the Sun Beau mark is reached. Passaic Y.M.H.A. Team A Winner Defeats Paterson Hebrew Club By A 51-39 Score The Passaic Y. M. H.

A. basketball team easily scored its fourth straight victory. Sunday night at the K. of C. Hall, smothering the Paterson Hebrew club, composed chiefly of Paterson Y.

M. H. A. play ers, by a 51-39 score. Strengthened by the return of Art Hillhouse and Lou Kanter to the lineup, the Passaic team enjoyed its greatest point making this season.

Hillhouse, playing for the first time since he suffered a fractured finger, again stole the show with his scoring and all-around play. Paterson was no match for the Y. M. H. A.

Lou Kanter set off the scoring spark by registering ail his eight points In the first period to give the a 16-11 advantage at the quarter. Bibby Paul, Hillhouse and Naldeck helped maintain the Passaic lead in the second stanza with timely goals and the locals led at the half, 27-21. The third canto was the Passaic Hebrews best. Paul converted two shots taken off the backboard Into tap-Ins and Nat Naldeck dribbled in for a pair of lay-up shots to lead the attack. The locals had an over' whelming lead ot 47-24 before Coach Buggy Brill inserted his reserves into the fray.

The Paterson players scored ten points In the final two minutes to lessen the gap Hillhouse and Paul tied for scor ing1 honors with 10 points each, with Naldeck and Lou Kanter following close behind. Scotty Levinthal and Stein paced the losers. Tiny Croft Gets Ann Sheridan's Picture Ripon. Feb. 7 (AP) Tiny Croft (his first name is Milburn, and he's a guard on the freshman football team) didnt get a date for the Ripon College prom with Actress Ann Sheridan, but he did get her photograph, so he's happy.

The photograph is inscribed To Milburn from Ann. Tiny, who lives in Chicago, was one of five college "Glamor Boys" who invited screen actresses to the prom. Miss Sheridan sent regrets and the picture the only one to make personal reply. finess boys. Van Lingle Mungo is no wan statue, and the board of strategy should pack color.

Judged by years, the members are ripe enough. But-the Gas House gang will be missed. The boys could play base ball as wen as stage a three-ring circus, with a new act at every performance. And It is barely possible that the fans won't miss the old Cardinals any mor than the new Cardinals will miss the fans. National League An Open Race Larry MacPhail Says League Has Seven If Teams By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Feb.

7 (UP) Laugh-In Larrv MacPhail BtwiItIvti Dodgers' mouthpiece and master mma, analyzed tne National League pennant race today and came to the conclusion it was very much like the fellow who said if he had some ham he'd have some ham and eggs if he had some eggs. "As the clubs get ready to go South it looks to me like the National League- is made up of seven great big lfs and the Phillies," said MacPhail "I can make a good case for any one of the seven clubs except the Phillies. That is. TJrovidftd all th1- lfa turn nut the right way. The Phillies, as usuai, are just doing tne best they can." MacPhail said he considered the Chicago Oiihx t.h favorlt cmtv cause they won the pennant last year ana not oecause ne Deaevea that they were any stronger than several other clubs.

"The Cubs won last season in an off year," said MacPhail. They start out this season with plenty of ifs, the biggest of which Is their outfield. Everv man is a Question mark. Galan finished the season with a bad knee, Jimmy Gleeson has yet to prove he can play in the majors and Hans Leiber was a big flop with the Giants. Bartell, who Is bothered by neuritis.

Is also a doubtful quantity. And what about Dizzy DCan?" To Bill Terry's statement that the New York Giants will finish one-two, MacPhail adds, "Yen, and they can also drop into second division. The Giants have as many ifs as any other club. If Hubbell. Schu macher and Castleman all come through Terry will have as good a club as last year but no better and he only finished third.

Then it still remains to be seen whether Demaree can play center field and Bonura first base." MacPhail is not as high on Cincinnati as are some of the other experts, and he points to the Reds' infield as that club's big question mark. "Look at the Reds' infield, said MacPhail. "You can't expect Mccormick to hit .326 again. Frey at eeond, Myers at short and RIegs at third won't win any pennant for them. For the Reds to win the pennant, that infield has got to be plugged up.

Pittsburgh hasn't improved any in MacFnau judgment. "The Pirates blew, the pennant last year when they should have won it," he said. "If they couldn't win it then, how ean they do it this year? I see no improvement in Traynor club." As for the Dodgers, MacPhail ranks his club as good as any in the league outside the pitching box. "We recognize pitching as our big problem," he said. "If Whit Wyatt and Van Mungo should come through for us we'd have as good a club as the Giants.

Our infield is as good as any the league and our outfield ranks well up with the best, pete Coscarart at second, and George stainbact in center field are going to do much toward making our team. Watch those two boys." MacPhail regards the Cardinals aa potentially a dangerous club, but one packed with so many ifs that they cannot be considered a pen nant contender now. "The Cards won't make any he said, "because thev think thev hav'j a chance to win the pennant. They have power and speed alright but they need plenty of pitching and nave a second base and short stop problem to solve." As for the Boston Bees, MacPhail says that even they must be given a chance because they start out with a strong pitching staff. "It's easier to improve other spots on your club than it is pitching," he said, "and the Bees could pull a surprise if they came up with a couple of hot youngsters.

"When you find seven clubs with as many ifs as we have in the league this year, that means you can look for a race of upsets and surprises. It all depsnds on how these ifs turn out." Princeton-Rutgers Renew Court Feud With the all-time series record knotted with 12 victories apiece, Princeton and Rutgers will renew their rivalry on the basketball court tonight at 8:30 on the latter's court in New Brunswick.

Champion Pillicoc Rumpelstilskin C.

D. through his paces In preparation for the Westminster dog show next week. There are more than 50 poodles in the kennels but Rumpelstilskin Curly to his friends Is the stellar attraction. He won the Best Dog in America award in 1937 and was named the best non-sporting dog in 1938. He weighs 72 'pounds, and stands 26 inches high at the shoulder, not counting the 13 inches of Jet black curly hair that encircles his forequarters.

He will be 4 years old on May 3. Routine Arduous His training routine is as arduous as that of any human champion preparing for a title defense. However, he Is not defending any of his titles: he's out to garner more vic tories. Stoecker and 1 tilskln's owner, Mrs. Milton Erlanger, hope to see him crowned the best dog in the Westminster show when that title is conferred on one of six dogs in the center ring at Madison Square Garden on the night of Feb.

15. Some authorities say he is the greatest poodle the world has ever seen, which njay not seem impor tant to those people who look upon this bred with antipathy, but a day with this friendly fellow should change their opinions. Not only is he handsome when you get used to him but he Is extraordinarily intelligent even for poodles, one of fee brainier breeds. Has C. D.

On Title Curly has passed his obedience test, hence the C. D. on his title. but other dogs have done that too. However, he defeated the crack German Shepherds of the Pennsyl vania State police at Harrtsburg, Pa in 1937 in an obedience contest.

But it is around the kennels and in Stoeckers home that his cleverness is best displayed. He will pick up a half filled coffee cup from the table and, without spilling a drop, carry it into the kitchen and place It on the drain Doara. wnen Stoecker has fniished his dinner Curlv will brine him his slippers. He also will remove a visitor's hat from his head and place it on a table. And, like other champions, he has made personal appearance tours and several radio broadcasts.

"He tells stories," Stoecker explained seriously. VHis face changes expression, as well as the tone of his bark as he goes along." Mrs. Erlanger, who named the dog after a character in one of Grimm's fairy tales, said that the dog was not for sale "at any price. You wouldn't sell a member of the family, would When Rumpelstilskin was seven months old, a $1,000 offer was made for him. Since then the bids have risen, the most recent one being $20,000.

Cleans Teeth Stoecker spends two hours a day brushing Rumpelstilskin's extremely heavy coat. His teeth are cleaned once a day and twice daily he is given two, half-hour runs over gravel roads. Except in slippery weather Curly practices high jumping over a four-foot obstacle and. broad-jumping ten feet. He is fed once a day at 3 p.

except on Sundays when he fasts, and he has learned to clean up the plate before Stoecker can count to 10. If he hasn't finished the food by that time, it is removed. "A healthy appetite means a healthy dog," the trainer said, Rumpelstilskin has been washed only twice in his life. The last time it took three days for his heavy coat to dry out, Stoecker said. "It takes more time to Keep poo dles in shape than any other he said.

"But it's worth it they're so much more intelligent." Stoecker who has been raising dogs all his life, came to Pillicoc kennels a short time after Rumpelstilskin was whelped. They have been constant companions since and the poodle eats in the house and sleeps in the trainer's bedroom. Curly made nis ring aeomz at uie 1936 Westminster show and has been cleaning up since. He was named the best dog in 1937 by winning more group prizes than dogs in other classifications. To capture that award he was named the best non-sporting dog in 30 shows that year, 20 of which counted.

During 1938 he appeared in only two shows although he was exhibited In others. His most recent victory was in the poodle specialty show last September when he was named the best in the show. National League Plans For Fair New York, Feb. 7 (AP) The National Baseball league will be represented in some form at the World's Fair in New York this year, it was decided at the annual league schedule meeting today, but the manner of representation still is a question. A committee made up of Horace Stoneham, Larry MacPhail and Ford Frick was named to outline a plan.

Aside from that item, an agreement as to what should be included in the Joint radio contract with the American League, there was little business at this session, held annually on the eve of the release of the schedule. The question of the radio program in two-club territory was discussed, with the league taking the stand that when one team from a two-club city Is on the road and the other is playing at home, the road game will not be broadcast. Participation of National League players in the baseball centennial celebration at Coopers town, N. June 11 and 12, also was approved, and it was announced that William "Bick" Campbell, umpire in th International League last year, would replace George "Tiny Parker as the National League arbiter.

7 (UJ) Thousands of horses have run thousands of races since the birth of the sport of kings but down through the years there isn't one who can match the unusual record of Malicious, the ragamuffin king of the. Pacific Coast. Malicious is a unique steed if there ever was one. He has never won an important race. He never broke a track record or paid an abnormally large price.

Yet he is acclaimed the most popular horse in the history of the west. And that, includes Equipoise, Discovery, Rose-mont, Stagehand and Seabiscuit. The turf writers selected him and they ought to know. Malicious is just another horse In the racing manual, gelded son of Omar Khayyam-Ridicule 2nd, winner of 32 races in some 175 starts. But the manual doesn't say he Is 12 years old, a rheumatic old reprobate who was sold down the river for $400 five years ago.

and that he has won most of the 32 victories since he passed his ninth birthday in 1936. Malicious Is not king in name alone. He accorded all the pero-gatives of a sovereign. Every time he trots to the post the news is proclaimed in sportpage headlines Thousands of customers clock to the track to cheer him. He can be bought or sold for $1,000 flat, yet last time he ran there was in bets riding on his nose.

Rons As He Pleaae The most unusual point of this fabulous career is that Malicious Is the only horse in the world permitted to run as he darned well pleases. His distance is two miles and he will run it for just one man Lonnie Oopenhaver, his owner, and trainer for Louts B. Mayer and other turfmen. Malicious has been claimed away a score of time since Copenhaver picked him Up for $400 In 1934. but he always comes back.

He won't run for anyone else. He sulks and runs out of the money in every race. The new trainer finally throws him over in despair or calls Copenhaver to the rescue. Then Malicious starts winning again. Copenhaver can handle Malicious because he understands him.

The gelding Is obstinate on two points He won't work out before noon and he won't permit a jockey to rate him. Copenhaver gives him his way on both counts.
