20 HEAD OF TROTTERS
FROM BIERV STABLES
ARRIVE IN PINEHURST
Noted Harness Horses Include
Little Pat, Holder of the World
Championship for Pacing Geld
ing, Also Lee Hanover
Twenty head of trotters and
pacers owned by the Butler, Pa.,
sportsman, Homer D. Biery, ar
rived at the Pinehurst track this
morning, to be prepared for their
1940 Grand Circuit campaign.
This stable that has wintered
here for the past fdur years, in
charge of Trainer Charley Lacey,
is the largest privately owned
stable seen on the American
tracks.
The star of the Biery horses is
the well known pacer, Little Pat,
1:581, which record was taken in
a winning race and marks him as
the holder of the world’s record
for a pacing gelding in a race.
Little Pat raced sensationally
again last year, winning 11 races
and pacing to a half-mile track
record of 2:011. Statistics will
show that this grand little war
rior has won no less than 70
heats better than 2:05, in fact his
average figures 2:031. His many
brilliant races cause him to rate
high up among the greatest
pacers of all time.

BLAST WRECKS PLANT
REDONDO BEACH, CAL.
Feb. 9—(A*)—Explosions so
violent that people 20 miles
away thought they felt an
earthquake shattered a fire
works plant, but by some curi
ous chance no one was killed.
The blast damaged a dozen
houses. Police said it was
almost incredible that there
had been no loss of life.
The Rev. Nettie Denman, 50,
occupant of a house 200 feet
from the factory, was the most
seriously injured.
She was thrown from her
bed and suffered deep lacera

LOUIS WINS FIGHT
BY DECISION, BUT
CROWD BOOS VERDICT
Joe Lewis successfully defended
his world heavy weight champ
ionship last night in Madison
Square Garden. Louis out-poin
ted his challenger, Arturo Godoy,
Chilean boxer, in a fifteen round
bout. A crowd of 16,000 fans
greeted the decision with a chorus
of boos.
The fight was justly won how
ever, though Lewis was hurt more
than once by Godoy’s crowding,
crouching style and hard lefts to
the head and body. Surprisingly
the champion did not score a
knock down against Godoy, a 10
to 1 shot. Louis had been figured
to take his opponent in 10 rounds
at the most. Louis came on in the
last five rounds after being held
even for the first 10.
