Fight Expected To Prove That Lew Jenkins Is Really Through BY JACK GUENTltER I NEW YORK, Dec. 19 U.R A J sizeable number of this com-i com-i munity's more susceptible citi-zens citi-zens will gather again tonight to t witness the second phase of a campaign to standardize the various vari-ous brands of world boxing champions, cham-pions, and for once they can't . complain that they weren't warn-: warn-: ed in advance what to expect for their money. The occasion is the meeting of Lew Jenkins and Sammy Angott, '.who reign .respectively as world (lightweight kings of New York state and the National Boxing as-Jsociation. as-Jsociation. The party of the first ; part. Looney Lew himself, has : provided more than a hint of what is in store by releasing a remarkably timely ballad which fhas titled, "this time were realty real-ty through." Writes Song; The scrawny, scar-fa'ced Texan claims to have actually written his little ditty without outside help and he has announced that he will introduce it from ring- side as 'soon as he rocks AngdTT off the beam with a tew weu rhose punches. Jenkins, states that this task won't occupy him for more than 10 minutes at most and requests the customers to tay for the song- Of course, there are persons in town who disagree with the Jenkins prediction of the eveninv. Many consider the local champion's cham-pion's musical efforts evidence that he has proven himself not merely an artist, but also a prophet one with hardly a peer. They think he has made only one mistake in his song, that of employing em-ploying the fi rst person plural rather than singular. Jenkins 'Tbraugh'T . More, y than a few seasoned critics musical and nthrwfsf believe that Jenkins himself has been really through for some time and that , when the 15-round bout in Madkion Square Garden is over he wltl hardly be in any condition to sfcng. The betting summarizes this esntiment. The odds are 8-5 that Angott will mop up the ex-soldier thoroughly, The figures appear sound. If Jenkins is'to win, and after the sorry spectacle he made of him self against his recent opponents a triumph would be quite a shock, he must win quickly and do it with his vaunted punch. And that doesn't figure to be easy, either. To date, no boxer has kept Angott on ; the floor long enough for the referee to count 10. This bout comes on the heels of a similar match which wrapped up the loose threads in the middleweight mid-dleweight division. In that one, the N. B. A.'s world champ, Tony Zale, decisively pummeled the New York state world title-holder, Georgie Abrahms. After tonight' the various ranks should be in the best shape even that hardy .p.eenniaK..dumb an Mjergan, can recall The same probably won't be true of Jenkins.

N lly JACTi OUENTHEU T NEW YORK, Dec. 19 U!.R TO thoroughbreds Whirlaway arid Alsab and some 10,000,000 citizens citi-zens who shoved almost $500,000,1 000 through the betting windows combined during 1941 to produce, the most profitable turf year in, track5 records. ; ( Although the war forced ' cancellation can-cellation of the 1942 winter meeting meet-ing at Santa Anita Park in Cali- fornia, the year shattered almost every mark for Betting and- purse; distribution. More races were run! more horses ran in them, and. they paid off bigger dividends than ever before. -j Dominant Fimre ' Whirlaway was the dominant figure. He became the fifth horse in history to sweep the Kentucky derby, Preakness and Belmont stake; he earned $273,836 the year's top figure and tookN his place as the third biggest earner of all time with a total of $345,-086, $345,-086, and he won other titles, for his owner and trainer, Warren Wright and Ben Jones. He won the Derby by eight Jengths in new track record time of 2.01 2-5 and went on to whip all but one horse he faced. The Calumet Cannonball enabled Wright to establish a new mark for a single stable wUh a total of $475,091 which surpassed the Rancocas stable of the early 1920's by almost $50,000., Jones likewise broke all earning records for trainers. Whirlaway won the Preakness, ' Belmont, Dwyer, Kentucky Ken-tucky Derby, Travers, American Derby, Saratoga Gold Cup, Lawrence Law-rence Realization and a number of other stakes and never finished out of the money. Gets Late Start Alsab, picked up by Al Sabath of Chicago for $700 at Saratoga, didn't really start running until whirlaway was almost through late in the fall. The most frequently fre-quently raced major juvenile in history, he won 15 of 22 starts and $110,600 and won the two-year-old title on the basis of two remarkable times- a clocking of 1:16 for six and a half furlongs, only a fifth of a second off the world record and a mile in 1:35 2-5 fastest ever run by a juvenile. Don Meade, the 1939 champ'ion, against won the national jockey title with more than 200 winners, succeeding Earl Dew who was killed at Agua Caliente in January. The best apprentice to come up wun ,uonn Mccreary and theaead-ing theaead-ing money winner was Kddie Ar- caro, who piloted Whirlaway to many victories and earned $350,-000 $350,-000 before being ruled off in the fall. Purse distributions reached new highs in every section and attendance attend-ance and Mutuel play followed uit. In New York alone the bet- Htors turned in an, all-time figure jfof $133,256,323 and the nation ap proached $500,000,000. The Kentucky Ken-tucky Derby was boosted to $75,-000 $75,-000 and drew the biggest crowd, 100,000 and the biggest Mutuel handle, almost $2,000,000. Santa Anita May Open Track Later ARCADIA. Cal., Dec. 19 (U.K) The management of Santa Anita park forgot defense preparations today and planned for what it hopes will be a new opening date for its eighth winter racing season. sea-son. Prospects of the , track's opening open-ing brightened when Lieut. Gen. John DeWitt, commander of the Fourth army, said that "if by January 15, or any other date, the situation is alleviated, there would be no objection to the opening of Santa Anita." General DeWitt ordered Chairman Chair-man Jerry Giesler of the California Cali-fornia horse racing board to delay de-lay the track's opening in line with his policy of preventing congestion con-gestion of people and traffic. "I am deeply grateful to the general for his message, and I believe because of it he is giving consideration to the part racing can play in stimulating public morale, just as it is doing in England," Eng-land," said Dr. Charles H. Straut managing director. Nominations tor the $50,000 Santa Anita derby, meanwhile, were announced. A near record of 136 thoroughbreds were named for the three-year-old sprint. Al Sa bath's sensational Alsab, one of the greatest juveniles in American Amer-ican turf history, headed the contenders. con-tenders. Alsab also has been nominated nom-inated for the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap. ASSIGNED TO MONTANA WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 UE The war, department today assigned assign-ed Lieut. Col. Lewis S.
