June 4~<UPi—The winner of the Kentucky derby and ' the winner of the Preakness will run off their deadlock Saturday in , a race which already has assumed historic proportions. Shut Out will ■ mnl< h his speed with Alsab's in ‘ the Beimt nt stake and the rubber meeting will live in the record* no . mattei which if either heads the parade to the wire. As a pure epectacle, the 74th re- , newal of this oldest and longest of I the spring turf classics is mentor- | able. It always Is heavily endowed with money and ivy prestige I ami thia year it carries the added value of serving as the third and probably deriding leg in the battle for the three-year-old 1 hampionship It is Important even above and i beyond the horses and what they have at stake. That is because It will be run strictly off the arm. Every penny of the profits —and they should add up to a sum of 1200,900 —is earmarked for the army relief, the navy relief and the ISO. The rather stuffy gentlemen who rule racing in New York have taken a long, long while in readying their war aid machinery but now the motor* are primed and the wheels will start turning rather impressively. Belmont Park, for I instance, isn’t giving charity a run on a rainy Monday afternoon. It has toseed In one of the two biggest days of its allowance. Shut Out won the derby and Alsab was second after being in a couple of Jams In the early stage*. Alsab came back a week later and won the Preaknros. Shut Out finished fifth but also had a slight excuse. He. too. wax in dose quarters Like Alsab the week earlhy, he had a chance to run at the end but had been weakened by boxing and bumping. It has been many a year since a derby and Preakness winner settled their differences at Belmont but Saturday these two can’t be expected to enter into the chanty spirit of the day. Both are sharp, both fit and ready to roll.

James. Aside from a couple of quaint kid* named Half Crown and Lochinvar, who aren’t used to stepping in such fast company, the competition has dropped away. The field may Include more than four starters, but I doubt it. Sun Again ha* gone bad. Requested is indlsposed and Devil Diver ie nursing a quarter crack. The others aren’t ellgibre for the 825.000 special. It should be quite a race. Alsah IMillshed off the wither* two week* ago with a fine disdain for the opposition and Shut Out wound up his training hy nailing Chaliedon and a few other worthies by eix lengths in a test of I-sser renown. And tile jockeys won’t lie exactly courteous if there is an opening for skullduggery. Both are shootihg for 12.500. But. at the extended distance of a mile and a half. Alsab should be th* one first home. Now that he lias come back to form the little guy from across the track* is a good distance horse. He I* a lazy starter, but once he comes steaming ’round the bend, the baby can fly. He takes his time, for a time, but once he is ready he really picks ’em up and puts 'em down. o Jake Wade Signs With White Sox New York.
