Check Horse
: Salem, N.H., Nov. 3 (U.R) The
' activities of 100 "undesirables"
! at Rockingham park race track
were checked by police and
track officials today In an effort
i to find who was responsible for
: the "sponging" of five horses in
a nine-horse race last week.
: The Horsemen's Benevolent &
: Protective association, an owner-
trainer group, already has of
i fered a $500 reward for infor-
5 mation leading to the arrest of
: any person connected with the
: flagrant attempt to "fix" the se-
venth race on Oct. 24.
Freliminary I n v e stigation
; Indicated that the "sponging"
- probably was not the work of
; a national group attempting to
1 make huge profits, but was
; likely the work of a group
; concentrated at or near Rock-
ingham.
. The attempted "fix" was so
' skillful that nothing was thought
.wrong until Trainer Lyle Phil-
lips found a blood-stained sponge
in the feed bin of his horse,
- Seersucker.
'. A rapid check of other hor-
ses in the race, track officials
'. revealed yesterday, showed
- that at least five of them had
'. been "tampered with." Small
rubber sponges were Inserted
In their nostrils to hamper
their breathing and kill their
chances of winning.
' The horse that won the race,
paying $13.60 was Crisis, owned

All In the Act
Penn State's dramatic organi
zation, The Thespians, has voted
an honorary membership to Jim
Dragotta, Syracuse end for "the
greatest piece of dramatic act
ing ever seen on Beaver field"
. . . Seems that in last Satur
day's Penn State- Syracuse
game, with the ball on the one
yard line and only a few seconds
left to play, Dragotta fell flat
on his face and gave a notable
performance of appearing in
jured. That stopped the clock
and gave Syracuse one more
play for its final score . . . The
Thespians should realize such
things are necessary in football;
it's only in amateur dramatic
groups where you find feminine
leads whose faces would stop a
clock.
Cleaning the Cuff
Virginia's Johnny Papit al
ready has surpassed Bill Dud
ley's best one - year offensive
record. And what's more im
portant to the Cavaliers, Johnny
usually busts loose when the
going is toughest . . . Football
scout Fido Murphy, passing
through town after seeing Yale
vs Dartmouth, maintains that
Herman Hickman's strategy was
perfect but he just didn t have
the material to carry it out . . .
When Walter Romans, the Balti
more golf pro, gets peeved at
a putter for not working right,
he "exiles" It to the rear com
partment of his car. At last re
port there were six In there . . .
Mose Sims tabs McMurry Col
leges Brad Rowland as "the
best back I have laid eyes on"
Judging by the scores, that s
all they do lay on Brad.
Mangrum Injured
In Altercation
With Auto Driver
Hollywood, Nov. 3 W Lloyd
Mangrum, fourth of last season's
list of pro golf money winners,
is likely to be out of tournament
play the rest of this year as the
result of an injured shoulder.
Mangrum, 35, and his wife
were passengers in the automo
bile of a friend yesterday when
it was in a collision with an
other machine. A police report
said the golfer suffered an in
jured shoulder during an alter
cation with the driver of the
other machine.
Mrs. Mangrum said arrange
ments were made for an opera
tion today in Santa Monica hos
pital to repair damaged muscles.
He will not be able to play in
the Philippine open tournament
and probably in no other com
petition earlier than the Los An
geles open in January.
Mangrum was the 1946 U. S.
open champion and won the Los
Angeles open and the ail-American
tournament at the Tarn
O'Shanter club, Chicago, this
year.

AFL Union Loses
In Boeing Vole
Seattle, Nov. 3 VP) Official
results of the Boeing Airplane
Co., jurisdictional election gave
the aeronautical mechanics
union of the Independent Inter
national Association of Machin
ists almost a two-to-one margin
today.
The final count, announced by
Thomas P. Graham, Jr., regional
national labor relations board
director, gave the Aero Me
chanics 8,107 ballots compared
with 4,127 for the Aeronautical
Workers, Warehousemen and
helpers union, an AFL-teamsters
affiliate.
Another 401 workers prefer
red no union at all.
In addition, 2,132 ballots were
challenged and 286 were voided,
but inclusion of these in the
totals would have made no dif
ference in the result.
Graham said either party in
volved in the election has five
days in which to file objections.
He would make no comment on
teamster protests over a typo
graphical error on some ballots
which designated the machinists
as an AFL union rather than in
dependent. Traffic Deaths Due
To Incautions Folks
Chicago, Nov. 3 (U.R) About
32,000 persons will be killed
each year in traffic unless "new
incentives" can be found to
make people more cautious, the
national safety council said to
day.
"It is now apparent," the
council said in a statement,
"that the steady reduction of
the traffic death toll since the
end of the war has leveled off,
and unless new incentives can
be found, the nation must re
concile itself to an annual loss
of 32,000 lives in traffic."
