ABC film to be used as evidence

BALTIMORE (AP) - The owners of Genuine Risk continue their efforts today to revive the filly’s chances of becoming a belated candidate for racing’s Triple Crown After becoming the first of her sex in 65 years to win the Kentucky Derby. Genuine Risk was beaten in the Preakness Stakes on May 17 when a foul claim against winner Codex was disallowed by Maryland stewards at Pimlico Race Course Diana and Bertram Firestone. the owners of Genuine Risk, appealed the decision and the three stewards were the first witnesses as a hearing on the matter opened Monday before the Thoroughbred Board of the Maryland Racing Commission. Tapes belonging to ABC, which televised the Preakness nationally, were expected to be offered into evidence today Vilas puts cramp on Orantes PARIS (AP) - While Harold Solomon, Jimmy Connors and Vitas Gerulaitis tried to end a 25-year American men’s drought at the French Open tennis championships, a tempest erupted over a match that didn’t happen. The tempest surrounded a match scheduled Monday afternoon between Argentina’s Guillermo Vilas, seeded No. 4 here, and Spain’s Manuel Orantes. who was runnerup here at Roland Garros Stadium in 1974. Vilas, who won last Sunday’s Italian Open and looked very sharp here in the opening week, came down with stomach cramps Monday and asked for an hour’s delay to start the match. Tournament organizers granted the delay. But Orantes said later he was not informed of the decision until just before he was set to walk onto the clay courts at the originally scheduled time. He asked that a rule granting delays of only 15 minutes be applied or else Vilas must default. After a confusing stew that followed, the match was put off until today and the thousands of ticket-holders who had come to see the day’s big match were told they could return free of charge today. But for Orantes. the tournament officials had breached a point of honor, and as late as Monday night he refused to give a clear answer on whether he would play the match that will complete the quarterfinals lineup toward the $53,000 men’s crown. In matches played Monday, Borg continued his consistent, often brilliant, usually errorfree march to his fifth French crown, a feat which would be unprecedented in the modern history of this tournament, the first of the four legs of the Grand Slam of tennis. Borg quickly dispatched Hungary’s Balazs Taroczy 6-2, 6-2, 64)

when attorney Henry Lord begins presenting the case for Genuine Risk. A precedent for viewing network films was established in 1973. when CBS tried to prove that Secretariat had broken the Preakness record. The commissioners did not change the running time recorded by the automatic timer, however. Board Chairman Robert W. Banning promised to expedite the current hearing in an effort to reach a decision prior to Saturday’s running of the Belmont Stakes, the final race in the Triple Crown series. In his opening statement Monday, Lord contended Genuine Risk had been impeded,

jostled and either struck or intimidated by the whip of Angel Cordero Jr. aboard Codex as the filly made her move near the quarter pole of the 13-16-mile classic. Lord argued that the action against Genuine Risk and jockey Jacinto Vasquez was premeditated and added: “What we have here is a 104-year-old tradition that has been sullied by jockey Cordero.” The attorney suggested that should the Firestone’s position prevail, the board should hold further hearings to consider “possible strong sanctions” against Cordero. Lord contended carrying Genuine Risk wide was “con-

scious behavior on the part of the jockey,” which caused the filly to break stride and “change her lead when she didn’t want to.” The attorney also charged that the filly was intimidated by Cordero’s waving whip at close quarters, whether or not she was struck. Stewards J. Fred Colwill, Clinton Pitts Jr. and Edward Litzenberger, who rejected the foul claim by Vasquez, reiterated belief in their decision Monday. All three stewards said they saw no impeding, jostling or intimidation and no willful or careless action by Cordero to injure Genuine Risk.

Madlock to appeal again

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Na tional League President Chub Feeney has ruled Bill Madlock’s 15-day suspension must stand, but the Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman won’t take that lying down. And it remains to be seen how future developments in the month-old case sit with the major league umpires’ union. Through the players association, Madlock lodged another appeal with baseball Commissioner Bowi Kuhn hours after Feeney made his final decision Monday. So Madlock remains in the lineup while Kuhn considers a matter that began May 1 with a

jab of Madlock’s glove at the face of umpire Jerry Crawford and escalated to arguments and affadivits from lawyers for the players’ and the umpires’ unions. “I find the penalties originally leveled to be appropriate,” Feeney said Monday in New York in upholding his penalty, including a $5,000 fine. “The major league umpires association is gratified that the endless delays in the Madlock appeal have now come to an end,” said umpire Paul Runge, vice president of the umpires’ union, which had threatened to eject Madlock from every game to speed up Feeney’s ruling.

There were other views. “Feeney upholds Feeney. That’s no surprise,” said Marvin Miller, executive director of the players’ association. “This represents a mockery of due process.” “I’m disappointed the suspensions and fine were not reduced based on comparison of this incident with similar past incidents,” said Pirate Vice President Pete Peterson. Madlock, who helped the Pirates beat Philadelphia 9-3 Monday night, said he only wanted to talk baseball. “Let’s stick stricly to the game,” he said. “The suspension? That’s the

last thing I’m worried about. I’m thinking about pitchers like Steve Carlton.” It was during a game against Montreal that Madlock clashed with Crawford. Feeney’s suspension came May 5. Three days later, Feeney heard an an appeal in which Madlock said he was only gesturing with his glove. (Jn Monday, Feeney said, “Even if contact was not intended, the forceful shoving of his glove in the face of an umpire...was so reckless and unacceptable to merit a severe penalty.”
