By HUtH FULl.BRTON JR.
MIAMI,I Fla., Feb. 27 —
Trainer jimmy Jones won’t say
anything, but you’d be pretty safe
in betting that Armed never will
run anbtner race. Jimmy sticks to
•his statement that the “Golden

pounds, and that’s the kind of as-

for himself. He arranged to go
one round against the Cuban in
training and was belted out in

When Pete Norton, the Tam

he moaned: does that mean that
when I criticise a football player

That's 1 making things tfco tough.
Danny Lamont’s widener handi
cap winner, El Mono, will race in
the double event at Tropical Park
before going north. In two' paces,
the colt has won $68,200—con
siderably more than the whole
Calumet string has collected.
That’s not bad for a horse that
1 was entered in the McLennan only
| because his owner got a kick out
of having a starter in a big stake.
Bill ($75,000) Goodman, the Red
Sox rookie who was converted 3
from an outfielder to a shortstop
at Louisville last summer, figures
the first thing he'll do when he
hits training camp is to ask Joe
McCarthy where he’ll play.
Marse Joe likely will tell him to
be glad if he gets to plky anywhere.
