Her son, Lendol, happily cried: "I'm glad Mummy won." Longden, national champion jockey in 1938-47-48, refused to go to the steward's stand for unsaddling and pictures. He would make no comment. Acquaintances quoted him as saying he would like to race her again. Mrs. Davis, wife of Horse Trainer L. D. Davis, of Red lands, Calif., rode 3-year-old Northeast over six furlongs in 1:12.

Joe Louis Enters Ring Monday Night for Show Oakland, Calif, Dec. 19 VP) Joe Louis, retired heavyweight champion who keeps insisting he will remain in that category, dons the gloves for a scheduled 10-round match here tonight. His opponent will be Al Hoos man, a Los Angeles Negro who stands 6 feet 5 inches and weighs some 200 pounds. Hoosman once was a sparring partner of Louis. Whether the fight will go the distance is problematical. Louis is expected to level with the best punches from the start. Hoos man is fast and a good boxer. Eight ounce gloves will be used. Louis, on an exhibition tour, has been hitting like he meant it. Louis' avowed intention to remain in retirement has been greeted with skepticism around here. Says Dolph Thomas, pro prietor of a San Francisco gym nasium where the undefeated champ trained: "I'd like to bet that Louis fights Charles next summer.

He is Dr. David F. Tracy of New York author, lecturer and specialist in psychological prob lems. Dr. Tracy convinced Presi dent Bill DeWitt that he can do things toward building the players' confidence and boost ing their morale. He has been hired for four weeks of the 1950 spring baseball training season. The psychologist will have a free hand at the Burbank, Calif., training base in his efforts to in still a spirit of confidence in the players. He also will concen trate on teaching them how to relax and overcome tension. "After I teach the players emotional stability," Dr. Tracy told DeWitt, "they will automatically climb higher in the league race. With my treatments, the club should finish fifth and may even climb to fourth." The club finished seventh in the American league last season and had a narrow escape from the cellar. Incidentally, the Browns drew fewer spectators through the turnstiles than any other team in the major leagues. The hiring of Dr. Tracy goes back to last summer. Tracy, a former athlete himself, was at the Yankee stadium one Sunday when the Browns dropped a dou bleheader to the Yankees. Later he called on DeWitt and his brother, Charley, the club's vice president, and explained how he is still the best of them all. He trains like he means business. I believe he is getting ready for a comeback.' Marshall Miles, manager of Louis, said: "Louis told a newspaperman that he thought he had 'one more good fight in his system.' think the same as Joe but far he has no plans to make a comeback."

Eagles Take National Pro Grid Title in Soupy Field Los Angeles, Dec. 19 (JP) The Philadelphia Eagles are still champions of the National Football league. And Steve Van Buren is a terrific back, even in the mud. But NFL Head Bert Bell will never win a sports popularity contest in these parts. Those items stand out today in the wake of a crushing 14-0 victory by the Eagles over Los Angeles' Rams in the coliseum yesterday. What was billed as a high-scoring duel between two speed-burning, pass-happy teams turned into a slow-moving tug- o -war between two lines, with the Eagles far the better. Only once did passing be come important. Then three quick tosses provided one of Philadelphia's touch downs. The other came on a blocked punt. The teams sparred through (he first quarter, but the Euglcs broke loose early in the second. Quarterback Tommy Thompson tossed two passes to Left End Jack Ferrante the second of which he caught on the ground after it was deflected. Thomp son mixed in tries at the line, then rifled one to all-pro Right End Pete Pihos for 31 yards and a touchdown. In the thrust, the Eagles went 63 yards in six plays.

The Rams were on their 1U, set back oy a noioing penal ty, when End Leo Skladany broke through to block Bob Wa terfield's punt, pick up the ball on the three and trot across. A high pass from center was a contributing factor. Cliff Patton converted both scores. The Rams threatened only once, and that was nullified by an interception. The Eagles lost a third chance when Jim Parm er fumbled on the seven.

Rich ard (Pancho) Gonzales of Los Angeles and Mrs. Margaret Os borne DuPont, of Wilmington, Del., America's 1949 national singles champions, top the ama teur ratings announced today by the ranking committee of the U.S. Lawn Tennis association. Gonzales, who beat Ted Schr- oeder in the longest finale match in national singles history, also distinguished himself in this year's Davis cup competition by winning two singles matches as the U,S. retained the interna tional trophy. Before retaining her national singles title by beating Doris Hart Mrs. DuPont successfully defended her Wimbledon singles crown against Louise Brough and teamed with Miss Brough to retain the British womens doubles championship. The rankings, which will be submitted to the annual meeting of the U.S.L.T.A. at New York on January 21, usually are ap proved automatically. Gonzales, however, turned professional in September and his top listing will depend on the adoption of an amendment to the current rules which state that no player can be ranked if he turned pro before October 15. said no.
