    Hillsdale
Maturity
Race Victor
Arcadia, Calif. -41TD- Most
of the top handicap horses
that have been eating Round
Table and Hillsdale's dust at
Santa Anita get together dur
ing the week in the San
Pasqual handicap while the
fillies and mares stage their
big race Saturday.
Heading Wednesday's San
Pasqual field is the consistent
Terrang, winner of eight
stakes at Santa Anita and is
seeking his ninth in the mile

V. Whitney team of Bug
Brush and Gleaming Star;
Two Cent Stamp, surprise
winner of the Santa Maria
Handicap; defending champ

Away.
But the talk of the Western
racing world today still cen
tered around Hillsdale's vic
tory Saturday in the $177,150
maturity for his sixth straight
stakes win and fourth at the
meeting.
Although he won the mile
and a quarter race by three
quarters of a length, Hillsdale
had to be whipped hard to
hold off the closing challenge
of Royal Living, a colt that
scored its maiden victory
only three weeks earlier.

garded as the outstanding hit
ter in Brooklyn Dodgers' his
tory, became the latest entry
into baseball's Hall of Fame
today as the 11th player ever
to be voted in by a special

The 70-year-old Wheat,
one-time idol of all Flatbush
fans said he was "tremen
dously honored and delight
ed" at his Sunrise Beach, Mo.,
home when informed of his
election by a unanimous vote.
Wheat compiled a lifetime
average of .317, batting over
.300 during 14 separate seas
ons, while starring in Brook
lyn's outfield from 1909 thru
1926. He wound up his major
league career with the Phila
delphia Athletics in 1927.
The popular left-handed hit
ter led the National League
in hitting with a .335 figure
in 1918 and then compiled
identical marks of .375 in
1923 and 1924, only to lose
out to Rogers Hornsby.

THE WOMJD3 MOST BEMTOHIUY PHOPOimOKED CAES'
Here's how to comfort-test a Ford. Take six people a daddy Ionglegs,
a mister "five" by five," any shape, any size. Put them in a Ford and
watch what happens. In the first place they can get in easier. Doors
are wider than other cars in Ford's field . . . wider-opening, too. Slide
inside and everybody (including the man in the middle) has a seat
that's thickly padded for real comfort. There's more tum enough room
for legs, elbows, hips-and hats! And unlike cars with high rear-end
styling, Ford's low-level trunk loads easily. Come in for a "people test"!
"Plenty of room to wear
"Seats are comfortable
all the way across . . .
no hard spot in

"Getting in and out
is a snap" ...

A quick check will show you that suggested Ford retail prices are
lowest of the best-selling three for all comparable models. What's
more, with radio, heater, and automatic transmission, Fords are priced
up to $102.75 less than the major competition . . . with air condition
ing, you can save up to $219.85. Then there are Ford saving exclusives
like Diamond Lustre Finish that never needs waxing and the alumi
nized muffler that normally lasts twice as long. Finally, Ford's beau
tiful proportions will be worth more when you're ready to sell.
