lancaom. Calif, May z-um- Moving up under Joe O'Brien’: guidance with giant strides in the ul-lve down the stretch, Indian Land upset an unwieldy field of 20 horses to win the $50,000 Golden West Pace before 17.770 harness ‘going fans at Santa Anita Park satuxdoy. /

with O'Brien, native of Alber- ton, P. E.I. in the sulky, Indian Land came up from 1lth place at um far turn and out-distanced the pack but got only boos for his vic- wry in this big special for the paccrs in the Grand Circuit meet-

Dr. Stanton, with owner- ('.'i)'E‘i‘ W. L. (Lindy) Fraser of Forest. Ont.. in the sulky, had leached the flve-elghthslpoie be- iore he heard the recall signal.

On the next start, Dr. Stanton, apparently tired from his first ef- fort. again took the lead going down in front of the grandstand (he first time and on into the backstretch. But he folded soon‘ sitar and finished 18th.

The time for Indian Land was 2:33 for the mile and one quarter. one second behind Alpril Star's track record:

The winner paid $17.70, $7.40 and $5.70; Forbes Chief, a length and one-quarter behind’ Indian Land. paid $5.50 and $4.80, and Goose Bay $20.10 to show.

‘Fhc start, due to the large field. was made from three tiers, eight lo a tier. Dr. Stanton started from inc third and Indian Land from ‘the first. O'Brien raced his horse well. made his move entering the Wench turn. and won the rich (are in the last 100 yards.

The same drive was given Forbes Chief, owned by Octave Blake of South Plainfield, N.J., president of the Grand Circuit. Forbes Chief, iilllllcl‘ of the pacing classic. the lctllc Brown Jug. last year, came il-om behind, but couldn't match strides with Indian Land. victory was worth $25,000.

GLADE BAY. N8. 3h! I — (C?) - George (RocksbYe) Roll of New Waterford. NS, smashed outs iz-round victory over Len Wadsworth of’ Hamilton, Canad- ian middleweight boxing champ, hers last night. The decision was unanimous,

Although the bout had carried

lonshlp billing, the Can- adian Boxing Federation announ- ced lt could not sanction (he bat- tle as the Glace Bay Boxing Com- mission la not affiliated with the national body.

To the more than 5.500 lam who packed the Forum here, however. a new champion was automatically crowned. Even Wadswortlrs man- ager, in the dressing rooms fol- lowing the fray, conceded that "Role but us and he's the chino.’ Manager Hec Oliver added that “Len needed a knockout near the finish bu: couldn't get lt. I would like to see him get another shot at Ross."

At Montreal today, president Prank Hogan of the Canadian Boxing Federation, said "we had a request from the Glace Bay promoter b0 give the fight title recognition but since the Glace Bay Commission is not affiliated with the C.B.F'_ we cannot sanc- tion the bout as a title scrap." The 24-year-old Cape Bretoner took the fight to his 31-year-old opponent and was constantly the aggressor during 12 furious rounds of milling.

It was the winner's 25th victory in as many starts, and by far his most important conquest. Rockabye opened with a msh. By the middle of the second heat an old cub on Wadsworth’; nose was bleeding freely. ‘Ilhe chal- lenger scored consistently in the infighting and built up a sub- stantial margln in the middle fremes as Wadsworth tired per- ceptibly.

The Hamilton veteran mixed willingly with his stronger snd more youthful opponent but poor timing kept him from capitalizing on his sirpe-rlor height and reanh. Wadsworth’: best rounds were the third, ninth and 10th.
