By Doug Blllmayer
United Press Correspondent
Seattle, Dec. . U. The
visit of five majo.- league base
ball itin her early last week
remained a military secret until
announcement laat nlht that the
group had arrived at Anchorage.
Alaska, on the first leg of two
or three months' tour to enter
tain troops outside the conti
nental United States.
Sports writers here were per
mitted to Interview the players,
but were asked to keep the secret
until the group arrived in
Alaska.
The five-man I). S. O. baseball
unit, the first group of major
leaguers to visit one of the war
fronts, was headed by Frank ie
rrisch, manager of the Pitts
burgh Pirates, and the boyhood
luol of many of the men now
overseas.
Others were Stan Muslal, the
National league batting star, and
JDanny Lltwhiler, both of Hie St.
Louis Cards, Hank Borowy, New
York Yankee pitcher, and Fred
(Dixie) Walker, Brooklyn out
fielder. Although the anew will be
piled hlRh outside many a hut
at distant Aleutian bases where
the base bailers will entertain ser
vice men, army officers said the
unit would Join soldier teams for
exhibition contests wherever pos
sible. To Show Film
And even where conditions
won't permit outdoor competi
tion, one main attraction for the
troops will be the world series
films which will be exhibited by
the quintet throughout the tour.
One army officer. Jut "out
side" from a far Alaskan base,
visited with the unit here and
aid:
"The kids up there will be
crazy over them."
Nor will the entertainment be
all one-sided. Alaska? troops will
'have a chance to return the fa
vor, for all of the group and
-particularly Dixie Walker were
excited about the prospect of
hunting and fishing in Alaska
with the soldiers as guides.
Borowy, the lone representa
tive of the American league, told
ports writers: "1 guess they fig
ured one American leaguer could
hold his own against any four
National leaguers." He said be
guessed he could find any num
ber of partisan American league
fans among the troop: up north

Poll Is Expected To Name
Count Fleet Horse Of Year
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Sta ff Correspondent
New York, Dec. 6 OJ.PJ A battery of tabulations at Balti
more begins counting votes today in the Turf and Sport Dmut's
poll for the best race horses of 1943. Announcement of the Ju
venile and handicap winners prrobably will be made late th
month.
For once tabulators will find ,
little competition for the three
year-old crown and for the rov
eted "horse of the year" award
since Mighty Count Fleet seeim
to deserve a runaway victory in
both divisions.
But they will, have a tedious
Job wading through ballots from
experts in the United Stales and
Canada, which are distributed
among a flock of candidates in
the other three classes: two-year
old colts; two-vearold fillies,
and hayburners that have passed
the four-year mark.
Since the polls are closed, anl
anything we may say now can
have no effect upon the vote
we give you our selections for
the best horses of 1943:
(1) Two-year-old colts and
geldings Occupy; (2) two-year
old fillies Whirlabout; (3)
three-year-olds Count Fleet; (4)
lour-year-olds and upward
Thumbs Up; (3) horse of the
year Count Fleet.
Occupy seenu the best two-year-old
colt, because this bay
son of Bulldog finished out of
the money only twice In 11
starts; and be won for owner
John Marten a total of $113,949
Among the two-year-old fillie
Whirlabout, busiest of the las
sies. showed consistently by be
ing out of the money only three
times In 16 starts Her earnings
of $27,760 were less than tnose
garnered by such gals as Bee
Mac, Miss Keeneland, Mrs.
Ames, and Twilight Tear.
The handicap class of four
year-olds and upwards was the
most scrambled of all divisions.
But out ot the welter. Thumbs
L'p seemed to emerge best.
Count Fleet, the brown-light-nlng
colt owned by Mrs. John
Hertz, seems to nave no genuine
competition for three-year-old
and borse-of-the-year honors
Though the son of Rclgh Count
started only six times and was
retired about mid-season be
cause of injuries, he won every
start and $174,053. His triumphs
included the Wood Memorial
Kentucky Derby. Preakness
Withers and Belmont stakes. He
ran far; and he ran fast the
best horse competing on any
track in 1943.

REDSKINS UPSET
BY GIANTS, MO
L
FIRST ICE TILT
By United Press
It took more than a month to
do the Job, but the Montreal
Canadiens finally had a defeat
on their record in the National
League hock race today, thanks
to a last scoring drive which
netted Boston two goals and a 3
to 4 victory last night.
The Bruins, playing before
13.000 home fans, tied the score
late in the period on a goal by
Herb Cain and Bcp Gudolin
shot the clincher into the nets
a few minutes later. The. Bruins,
by winning, displaced Detroit In
fourth place.
In the only other game last
night Chicago was extended to
the limit before defeating the
last place New York Rangers 7
to 6, moving into tie with
Toronto for second place.
By United Frees
The New York Gu ru were a
third of the way home today in
trelr drive to take the eastern
division National league profes
sional football title from the
Washington Redskins, but the
odds were long that they would
i.ever make the grade.
One upset to the good after
their last period 14 to 10 victory
over Washington yesterday, the
Giants must beat the Redskins
again next Sunday to tie for the
title, then repeat for the third
time a week later to capture it
undisputedly and meet the Chi
cago Bears in the championship
playoff game.
Yesterday's victory before 31.
308 fans at the Polo Grounds
may have been a fluke, since the
Giants were 14-polnt underdo rs,
but the manner in which they ac
complished it proved that they
were willing to make a fight to
the finish.
The Phil-Pitts obligingly elim
inated the possible complication
o' a three-way tie for the title
by losing their final game. 38
to 28. to the Green Bay Packers
U. the otily other game.
Wins Pass Title
The Giants let Sammy Baugh
pass to his heart's content and he
completed 18 out of 37 tosses
to clinch the league champion
ship with 117 completions for the
season, but they rendered him
almost harmless offensively by
dumping his receivers in their
tracks.
For the first game this year,
Baugh failed to threw a touch
down pass, although be set up
the Redskins' only six-point
cvunter with a series of short
bullet tosses.
Don Hutson. playing what he
insisted was his last game, bowed
out typically in Green Bay's vic
tory before a record crowd of
34.294 at P h i I a d e h I a. He
brought his total points for the
year to 117 to win the league
scoring title hands down, by
scoring two touchdowns, kicking
al! five extra points and adding
a field goal.
