= JQ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tussdey, Mey 7, 1963 HEDLEY .WOODHOUSE One Jockey Who Has No Weighty Problem By JIM PEACOCK NEW YORK (AP)--Hedley | Woodhouse is known in his trade as a natural lightweight. Fi He stands four feet 11 inches and without thought of diet maintains his weight at 106 pounds or less, It's a physical trait that has helped the Vancouver -born jockey become one of racing's several Iron Men -- not one who's frequently in the head- lines, but one who frequently is in the winner's circle. At 43, he's about to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of his first winning ride -- aboard Golden Float July 4, 1940, at Vancou- ver's Lansdowne Park -- and he's giving little thought to re- f tirement. : "As long as I don't have # weight problem, I think I can ; go along indefinitely," Wood house says. "You start losing your strength when you have to reduce." NEAR 2,500 WINNERS ; Woodhouse, who rode his 2,000th winner in June, 1960, and now is nearing the 2,5 mark, recalled some high points in his career during an interview in the jockey room at Aqueduct, where he's among the top 10 riders so far this season. Aqueduct is a long way from) Lansdowne Park, where Woody broke in as a 17-year-old pick- ing up laundry and serving coffee in the jockey room. He was hired as an exercise rider and by 1940 rode his first race at Santa Anita in Cali- fornia. After his first victory in Vancouver he went on to greater success, climaxed in 1955 when he rode 175 winners, including Nail in the $109,000 Belmont Futurity in New York, and pocketed gross personal earnings of more than $100,000. He recalls the Futurity vic- tory with pride. "It was not only the biggest --_ pot for me," he said, "but it also carried a lot of prestige. It was quite a thrill to win that one."

And HEDLEY WOODHOUSE | \Issue, and his best single days lcame in 1948 at the old Jamaica track here when he had four winners a day twice in a week. Disappointment came in 1954 when, aboard Fisherman, he finished second to High Gun in the rich Belmont Stakes. "I thought I had that one," lhe said. "But Fisherman was > York and Florida, making his 4 home--with two sons, aged 14 _ and 16, and a daughter, aged 8 beaten by a neck by High Gun on the last three jumps." He's ridden in the Belmont Stakes seven times and he's had four mounts in the Ken- tucky Derby, where his best finish was third on Palestinian in 1949, Woodhouse rode at Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver tracks during his early riding years and he had his worst injury in Winnipeg in 1941 when he suf- fered three cracked ribs in a pileup. HOME IN FLORIDA "I've had a couple of concus- sions and a slipped disc," the popular veteran said, "but that's about all outside bumps and bruises," He spends most of his time now between tracks in New --at Miami Springs, Fla. But he gets back to Vancou- ver occasionally. to visit his mother and last September showed up at Exhibition Park there to ride four races--one on a winner--in the mud on the season's final day. "I've never got around to taking out U.S, citizenship," he said, adding that when --in maybe five or six years--he does quit riding, he may return to Canada to live.

The English Football Associa- tion is probably wondering what happens if East Germany qua!- ifies for the 1966 World Cup series being held here. The Berlin government already has demanded a guarantee that if Britain sends a diving team to Leipzig an East German team will be allowed into Britain for a return meet in 1965.

"You don't go to someone's home and accept their hospi- tality and then say you won't) have them in yours." Taking up the case of the barred junior soccer team Wil- son writes: "How in the name of sporting, or any other sort of sanity, can you conceivably blame the kids who were 14, 15 or 16. when the wall was erected for the evil) practices of their elders?' What British officials fear most is that the NATO ban will reverberate through the cham- bers of the Internationa! Olym- pic Committee which takes a dim view of political discrim- ination. Indonesia lost its Olympic place after refusing to allow sportsmen from Israel and Na- tionalist China to compete in last year's Asian Games at Ja- karta. Diplomats agreed to lift the ban if combined German teams apply for the visas but the two factions have only got together so far on the Olympics and the European track championships.

METS MAY NOT BE GREAT BUT THEY ARE POPULAR NEW YORK (CP) -- New York Mets, the most unsuc- cessful team in modern ma- jor league competition, are leading both leagues in aver- age attendance. Baseball men are baffled. The Mets drew the largest crowd of the major league season 'Sunday, 53,880, when they split a doubleheader with the San Francisco Giants. This despite the fact that they had been beaten 7-4 on Saturday, the ball 'park is so antiquated the Giants them- selves abandoned it six years ago and parking space is al- most nonexistent. Also, the streets around the park are torn. up for several blocks, subway service on Sunday is sharply limited and many of the bus and elevated lines that used to run to the Polo Grounds no longer do. Every available seat for Sunday's doubleheader was gone an hour beofre game time. About 5,000 were turned away. ' Standees lined the ramps, and many lay flat on the con- crete in some places to see a tiny fragment of the playing field, between pillars. Oddly enough, the game was on home television, as are all Mets home games and most. road games. Baseball men were amazed that fans who were unable to find a place to stand did not stay home and watch.
