Sunday, May 15, 1938 VALLEY SUNDAY PAGE Arranges Greatest Match Race Since 1923 THIS is not a horse laugh, but Seabiscuit in an angry moment. However, Seabiscuit might well laugh after considering his record: 27 victories and $251,000 in prize money. THE Seabiscuit team, here shown with the victor's fioral horseshoe after a recent triumph, is composed of Seabiscuit, Trainer Tom Smith and Jockey Johnnie Pollard. THE ar Admiral team, a trio that has been exceptionally successful to date, is made up of War Admiral. Jockey Charley Kurtsinger and Trainer George Conway.

THE weather vane atop the clubhouse at Pimlico was painted War colors in honor of his victory in the 1937 Preakness. The Admiral was 1937 3-year-old champion.

These thoroughbreds were scheduled to meet in Maryland last fall. It just another race, with a small money-value and half a dozen other steeds entered for company. But the weatherman intervened Rain fell during the night and the track was not perfect.

War trainer okehed the racing strip, but supervisors, perhaps having keener sight, found fault, and declined the issue. So, the postponement forced by the weatherman served to heal the arguments over their respective racing the 000 match race finally was bom. It will be run at nearby Belmont Park, Long Island, May 30. Expect 75.000 Perhaps the greatest crowd that ever gathered to settlement of an equine family dispute, some 75.000, will see the Admiral match strides with his the Biscuit, over the mile-and-a-quarter route Memorial day. Seabiscuit, the handicap champion last year and biggest money- winner now racing, is a 5-year- old grandson of Man while War Admiral, the triple-cown winner of of 1937, is Man 4-year-old son.

The Biscuit has earned $251,000 and War Admiral $231,000 War Admiral has won 13 races in 16 starts, Seabiscuit 27 in 77, The handicap champion is a couple of inches taller and perhaps 100 pounds heavier. He is a rangy bay, several shades lighter than War Admiral. Both Are Beautiful They are equally beautiful steeds. The Admiral is nervous and jerky, while Seabiscuit is calm. The little is more fractious at the barrier and that is why trainer desires a walking start instead of the usual lunge out of the stall gates.

Seabiscuit has several defeats, in- eluding his nose loss to Stagehand at Santa Anita a months ago. Easy Winner Most of the victories have been comparatively easy. Only Pompoon in the Preakness and Masked General in the Pimlico Special pushed him. Seabiscuit has had to battle in many of his races. While the Admiral is skittish at perhaps against a better bunch of the post.

Pollard sacrificed.

Taylor singled and Jordan doubled to score the last tallies of the inning. The hitting spree chased Gilmore off the mound to the showers. Liveoak Kubala, the strikeout king, with 68 whiffs, went on the hill to hold the Palms hitless in the final two and tw'o-thirds innings. Littlejohn Stars Hood and Chisum were not the only outstanding performers of the contest. The Refugio manager and first baseman, Carl Littlejohn, a rousing cheer from the crowd for a sensational, running back-handed catch off the ground, as did Leo Najo, who came through a thrilling catch over his shoulder as he raced back toward the center field fence.

Both teams confined their scoring to three innings. McAllen scoring in the third, fifth and sixth and Refugio in the first, second and fifth. Gardner, leadoff man for the visitors, started the Oilers big frame off with a single. went to first on Jordan's fumble. Jacks hit to score Gardner and Deck popped out to Kopp.

Snell went down swinging and Miller doubled to score two. Littlejohn reached first on a muff and Allen out on an infield hit to end the scoring. The Oilers second tally was circuit in the second, was also credited with driving in their fifth and final score in the fifth frame a single that sent Miller home after he went on the bases on an error and stole second. Fans Saturday evening were in a jovial mood only for a short time following the game. It learned that there was little hope for the club, in financial distress, to remain in the league.

Efforts of the officials seemed to have reached a dead end. Their last endeavor to keep the club under banner will be made Sunday when Texas Valley League President, Guy F.
