C., and Louise Suggs of Lithia Springs, Ga., Jim Ferrier of Chicago, and Wilfred Crossley of Atlanta won the major U.S. championships. Riegel Takes Amateur Riegel, member of the victorious Walker Cup team, downed 44-year-old Johnny Dawson of Hollywood, 2 and 1, on the Pebble Beach course at Del Monte, Calif., in the 47th U.S. Amateur championship. Worsham, a lantern-jawed type pro with only minor previous victories, won the U.S. Open championship the hard way—in a play-off with Snead. Worsham never was ahead in the 18 hole playoff until the final putt. When Snead missed a putt of 30 inches. Worsham knocked his in for the title. They had tied the day before at 282 when Snead sank a 25 footer in the 72nd green. Ferrier PGA Champ Australian born Jim Ferrier, with his putter red hot, won the first prize of $3,500 in the Professional Golfers Association championship by defeating Melvin (Chick) Harbert of Battle Creek, Mich., 2 and 1, and Wilfred Crossley, 24-year-old Atlantic insurance man, won both the medal and the title in the Public Links championship at Minneapolis.

Horse Racing Slips in Public Support As Costs Mount and Strikes Stall

By RAY AYRES UP Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP)—Horse racing reached the cross-roads in 1947 as the cost of operations steadily increased and the source of income slowly declined. More yearlings were sold, more horses were raced and more meetings were held than ever before, but the betting public—the lifeblood of the in-dustry—didn't support the ever-increasing sport in its customary style. Preliminary figures indicated a 1947 mutual handle of $1,500,-326,063 against $1,830,000,000 in 1946 and an attendance of 22,-935,195 the syoar compared with 25,750,000 in 1946. And at the same time horsemen complained that they couldn't meet expenses although this year's purse dis-tribution was expected to match last year's total of $50,000,000 when all returns were in and stable help demanded more pay. Strikes Close Tracks As a result there were squab-bles between horsemen and their help, between owners and racing associations as all fought for a larger share of the bettors' dis-appearing funds. There were strikes of exer-cise boys, grooms, the horse-men themselves and others con-nected with racing, but they closed only two tracks—Jama-ica for one day and Gulfstream for two. Racing associations in Florida, New Jersey and California had their own private fight when they could no agree on racing dates and the State Racing Commission had to step in to bring them to terms. All fought for the more lucrative dates. Despite the dissension and in-ternal disagreements, 1947 put on a fine show. But runs came back into tough luck. Empire City staged its first International Gold Cup but only two foreign horses —Jorge Atucha's Endeavour from Argentina and Nelson Seabra's Ensueno from Brazil—competed. Stymie Wins Gold Cup Nevertheles it provided one of the big thrills of the year as Natches tried to steal the race and almost got away with it. Gal-lant old Stymie, who set the world record with lifetime earn-ings of $816,060 during the year, just nipped him at the wire. The other big race was the match between Assault and Armed at Belmont Park. This pair was a disappointment, as Assault popped a splint a week before the race. The Racing Commission refused to permit betting on it. Armed came out of the starting gate like a bul-let and stayed in front all the way for a hollow triumph in some opinions and a convinc-ing triumph in others. But the race enabled Armed of the "horse of the year" title which Assault had won the prev-ious year. Other noted performers among the older horses were Polynesian, king of the sprinters, who has been retired to stud; Olhaverry, winner of the Santa Anita Handi-cap; Rico Monte, who won the Whitney Stakes, the Saratoga, the Manhattan and the New York Handicaps, and Cover Up, who took the San Francisco and Sun-set Handicaps and the Hollywood Gold Cup. The older mares were well re-presented by able runners in Gal-lorette, Elpis, Bridal Flower and Be Faithful. The three-year-olds had no standout. Jet Pilot won the Ken-tucky Derby, Faultless won the Preakness and Phalanx won the Belmont Stakes. On Trust took! California's big three-year-old stakes, the Santa Anita Derby. Enter Assault in Widener King Ranch's Assault, 1946 Triple Crown winner has been nominated for the $50,000 Widen-er this winter at Hialeah. Train-er Max Hirsch is anxious to find whether Assault can stand an-other season's campaigning. If not, he will be retired in time for the Spring stud season.

U-M Fights In Coliseum Vs. Syracuse

(Continued from Page Six) Southwest Louisiana among its intended victims. The Hurricanes established intercollegiate boxing as a ma-jor sport last year by whipping South Carolina, the Gophers and Catholic plus Penn State and Jacksonville Naval Air Sta-tion. Strong in the 125 and 130 weight divisions and the light-heavy and unlimited classes, a weakness in the middle classes cost them their only team loss to Wisconsin, 41/2 to 31/2. At least two of the newcomers, Andy Spano and Carl Barnardo have displayed potential talent. They, together with Bob De-men, while Art Davis, Warren Field and Bill Dillon have "beat out" competition for vacated berths. The lineups, according to weights are as follows: In the 125-pound division Au-Clair fights Jimmy Demon, cap-tain of the Hurricanes. The 130-pound class pairs Walter Bowe, who was undefeated in 1947 in the 135-pound division, Al Sauer-wein, Syracuse, fights Don Ger-ber. Art Spano, Syracuse, faces Art Davis in the 145 class. Dick Prussian, Syracuse meets Warren Field in the 155 department. Jul-ian LeVine, Syracuse, takes on Carl Barnardo in the 165 divi-sion. In the 175 pound class Ray Fine, Syracuse, tackles Bill Dil-lon. Either Leo Lustig or Fred Wells meets Saey in the heavy-weight bout.
