By PAUL ZIMMERMAN (Associated press Sports Writer) SANTA ANITA PARK, LOS AN GELES, Feb. 23. (AP) In a great stretch run, Azucar, a converted steeplechaser, cleared a 108,400 hur dle today, winning the Santa Anita handicap from a Held or twenty of the turf's greatest bluebtoods. On the wings of a chill north wind came this 7-year-old gelding son of MUealus out of Clarice, to fly home In front of Ladysman by two lengths. Time Supply was third, three lengths back of the victor with Top Row fourth. Forty five thousand persons who bad wagered 9230.33S on the event, bowled themselves hoarse as the 13 to 1 shot moved In to move where Equipoise had been favored to ap pear. The great O. V. Whitney charger, seeking the title of leading money dinner of alt time, an 8 to S choice, never was In a threatening position and wound up seventh, deep In tho ruck. Azucar, finely rated by Jockey George Woolf, made his move at the rail off the last turn, going out from fourth to. take the lend In the last furlong. He tried at the end, but It was too late for Ladysman and Time Supply to make the grade. The net earnings of the race for the stable of P. M. Alger, Jr., Detroit, aet a now world's record, shattering the mark of 1106,730 sot up In 1020 when Whlchone captured the Bel mont futurity. The gross stakes of 137,000 here, however, fell short of the mark of $130,360 set up In that race.. Azucar turned In the amazing time of 3 minutes 3 1-5 seconds, a new track record, for the mile and a quar ter. It waa two and one-fifth seconds faster than the previous mark set up earlier In the day in a field half as large, with War the victor. Betting on the event also aet a California record when the custom art pushed 9330,335 through the pari mutuel windows, more than twice as much as had ever been bet on single event here before. Of this mon ey, more than 930.000 alone was down on Equipoise to win. Asucar paid 920.80 to win, to to place and as.OO to show on $3 tick ets, while Ladysman was worth 95.30 and 94.50 and Time Supply 98.40. A alow starter, Azucar, who waa witched to flat racing a year ago, went away from the gate In four teenth position, after the start had been delayed more than ten minutes while first Head play and then Equi poise became unruly. He gained gradually under the ex pert riding of Woolf to move Into eleventh at the quarter post. Pick ing his spots with precision, Woolf piloted the victor through the big field Into fourth place through the back stretch and brought the thor oughbred to the rail as the field moved Into the turn In a mad scram ble. William R. Coe's Ladysman also was smartly ridden. Harry Richards booted the five-year-old son of Pom pey along In great fashion, saving all ground close to the pace. He went Into seventh position at the quarter post, slipped to eighth after half a mite and then piloted htm Into third at the three quarters, always close up. Time Supply, winner of the Bay Meadows and Narragansett handicaps In recent months, was among the leadera from the time the burner went up until the end. Ridden by Tommy Luther, Mrs. F. A. Carreaud'a four-year-old bay colt out of Time Maker, was first away from the gate. ALL BEAISJNiS ROSEBURU, Ore..

In that last quarter It looked as though Medford were going to be able to rally enough to tie tho count, they being only two points behind, 30-28, at one time, but the Grizzly attack was too much for them. With only a few seconds to go. Smith re-entered the game with Van Dyke, and a wild scramble ensued, neither team scoring. Smith had the fourth personal of the game called upon htm as the gun sounded, and Hoxte shot the extra point to make It 3.1-20 as the crowd swarmed upon the floor. The Llthlans' offense meshed neat ly through most of the game, and It was no rilsurace to the locals that they lost.

Although the two teams have had many such series In the past, the Hobsonltes nave never managed to best the Monmouth Wolves In a complete series yet, but intend doing so this year. The task will be par ticularly difficult because of the fact that the Wolves boast the best team that they have had In years, with such stars as Yatad and Aver Ill, giants from champion Astoria fives, at forwards, Butterworth, 5 foot 5 Inch flash from Indiana at center, Kelly, one of the outstanding men of the state at guard, and Os borne, another Indiana star, at the other guard position.
