Happy but tearful Evelyn, who had raised her sleek popular champion from a calf, next day saw him auctioned off to Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. for a fancy $3.30 a pound. (Runner-up "Robin Hood" sold for 60¢ a pound.) Evelyn said she would use "Sargo's" $835 prize money and the $3,587.10 he had fetched as beef to finish her schooling at Frances Shimer Junior College and to buy her farmer father a farm of his own.
