In fact. it was Sparks who landed the hardest blow oi the flzht when he staggered Storey in the sixth with a left Jab and for a moment appeared as if he would send Storey down‘ to his first knockout defeat.

Clever Footwork

For the first three rounds of the Swap Sparks hardly laid a. glove on his opponent as Storey drew the plaudits oi the crowd with his clever and brilliant boxing exhibi- tion. Coming out for the fourth Sparks gradually began to find the T811610 0f hi5 SIIDIWFY opponent and took the round: azain in the fifth he had a decided edge over his Opponent and the crowd. partial toward the Maritime fighter. began t0 sense an upset.

There wasn't a semblance of a knockdown throughout the scrap and the‘ crowd continually called for action. The pace did speed up somewhat in the final session but the winner was too far ahead on points for Harper to hope to catch up.

Expected’ To Be Favorite

NEW YORK, May 17-Barring injury or illness. there no longer seams any doubt that War Ad- miral will go to the post a firm favorite over Seabiscuit in their $100,000 match race May 30 at Belmont Park.

Money backing for the Biscuit so far has been more oral than actual. In the largest wager yet recorded an eastern s man placed 820.000 on War Admiral m the high expectation of winning 512.000. As a direct resu't. the odds against Seabiscuit were stretched out to 7 to 5.

There has been nothing about the workouts of the two horses to indicate the winner or to set the odds so pointedly in War Admirals favor. Both have trained perfectly and are 1n fine condition.

Clockcrs line the rails daily as exercise boys send the pair duet- ing around the ‘tack.

Neither has been let loose over the race distance-l l-4 miles-so there have not been exciting time trials to chronicle. but War Ad- miral circled the flowering infield fast enough the other day to con- vince experts he is ready for the test race that trainer Geor e Con- way plans to give him be ore the

g day.

Seablscuits workout for a while were clothed in mystery. Would-be elockers complained that trainer Tom Smith was exercising his horse in the dark of the moon. or else in mid-afternoon when they all were busy watching the thor- oughbreds run at neighboring Jamaica.
