The lights were also used Monday night when the Adams county track meet was held for the first time - al night. This attraction

drew what was probably the larg■fiSt crowd ever to see a track meet in Decatur.

Pat Ott.) j By Oscar Fraley ‘ 9 q Louisville. Ky.. April 30 —(UP)-— Bahananosed Eddie Arcaro had himself “in awful lot of horse” today for Saturday’s Kentucky derby —and what fie hoped would be a reedrdj fifth riding triumph in the 1100,000 run for -the roses. Swarthy, white-toothed Eddlie bolds.the record now with four trips to the winning circle and he ajmits’happiljr that if Calumet Farm’ls Hill Gail runs anything like he di|i in , yesterday’s derby trial “there isn’t anything afoiMid that’s going to beat him.’’ s . Arcaro was bubbling when he slipped from the chunky colt with the powerful hindquarters after his six-length triumph in the final tqneup for the derby. He tried to wipe the grin off his face as he apologized to v diner ’Ben Jones for letting Hill Gail -sweep home so far on tip but the grin wouldn’t wipe. “1 just couldn’t pull him ib,” explained the mighty mite of the saddle who has become one of the world’s greatest jockeys since slipping away from his Cincinnati home as. a rag-tailed ypungster to hop the fence at old Laconia. “He wa» full of.run, he wanted to run and no matter what I tried to do to pull him in. he wouldn't have any of it -until we piled past the wire.” Arcaro said. Eddie rbde his ,fk st derby winner, Lawrin, in 1938, scored his second with the long-tailed Whirlaway in 1941 and equalled the derby record of three derby- triumphs with Hoop Jr. ip 1945 to tie thl* ancient Isaac Murphy and the immortal Earle Sande. ' / , | But Arcartr stepped into a class by Tiimself in 1948 w ith the million dollar baby named ? Now Eddie is out to chalk up a record irobody inay ever touch, and he. figured he. had the colt to do it as Hill Gail gall'’ >ed a new' trial record into the l>. | “What did you think of Hill Gail?" he was asked as he stripped off Calumet's glistening devil's red and blue silks in the noisy tack rooip.- / ■ “My God.” Eddie barked, body could look at him-aud tell.” He wasn’t ready yet. he said, to coiyfiare Hill Gail- with any of hig other derby dandies. | ‘"Hut I’ll tell you this.” he chuckled, “he's a lot pt' horse, an awful lot -of horse.” The other jocks weren't making much nojse. Eight of them had .trailed home far' tn Hill Gail's wake, (eating Arcaro's dust again, and they knew. too. that Calumet had brought another potentially great champion but of . the blue grass. There was disappointment in their eyes and Arcaro, a quiet little man. answered softly when he was ' asked whether anything else in the race looked like it might have a chance to give him trouble on derby day. — • “I see. maifty horses,” he replied in a low tone. “We didn’t atay around lofig enough.” That was for sure —and Arcaro acted like man who dead sure of a*., record repeat conie’Saturday.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Indians Find Batting Fyes To Wallop A’s New York, April 30 —(UP>4- : The Indians, who were beginning to think runs were imperfections in ladies’ stockings, revelled today in the season’s most spectacular batting outburst—a 25-hit salute in which Al 'Rosen hH three homeys and JFm' Fridley : became the first American leagite rookie ever to smash sik consecutive hits in* one game. The Indians’ outburst, which bpfied the Athletics, 21-9, drowned otit the plaudits for Curt Simmond’ successful debut after 19 months in the army as well as superb pitching performances by the Giants' Sal Maglie, the Braved’ Warren Spahn, and the Dodgers’ Pfeacher Roe. The Indians, who had "been sfiut out in three of their four purevious games and held to one hit twice, wasted no time announcing the end of their hit famine.' They scored six runs in the first inning, led, 12-2 after three innings and capped thqir slugging bee with a seven-riin rally in; the eighth inning. - . - ' Rosen, who now leads both leagues with six home runs, knocked injseven rims. z He hit two of the homers with two mates aboard and also collected a single for'a four-hit evening. Harry Simpson alsfi collected four-hits for the. Indians and Elmer Vaio had |our for the A’s. 1 Bob Feller, who lost-a One-hitter to Bob Cain and the Browns in his priviohk outing, held the A’s lot two runs in the first six innings. s He._ 4helv" relaxed with an overwhelming leajd and tjie A’s, who woud up with 18 hits, pounded him for seven rups in the last three Innings. Fridley, {rookie up frortl Dallas, singled in the first, second, fo'nrth. fifth, eighth and ninth innings to tie the modern mark of six hits in a game now shared by 29 players. Terry Moore, in 1935 and Paul Waner in 1926, botlU'National leagures; were the only other players, to turn the rookies. Sinimons. key to the Phillies’ pennan hopes, walked only one batter and struck out two as lie beat the Cubs. 8-2. It was his first appearance on the mound since Sept. 9; 195 b but he showed the same crackling curve ball that made, hip! a 17-gamle winner that season. The ■Cujis got only seven hits iiicluding Haivry Chiti’s home run in the seventh inning. The entire Philadelphia team rushed to the nioud to Congratulate Simmons when he retired the last Cub in the ninth frame. Maglie, the Giants’ “stopper,”' continued his magnificent early,r season pitching with a three-hitter to out-dnef Ewell Blackwell ancf beat the Reds. 2-1 was Sal the Barber’s third straight rodte-goer and he now has allp wed a total of nine hits (a four-hitter, a two-hit-ter and Ta three-hitter) in victories over the Phitlies, Dodgers and Reds. / ~ Maglie won his own game as he lined a single over shortstop to score Alvin Dark. Who had walked' and moved to second on an infield) Sut. with the winning run in theninth. The loss was the Reds’ fourcit Qf the year and ’Blackwell, who has yet to wffiTw'as the losing pitcher in three of tJiem. Spahn. “striking out 11 for a season high, dealt the Pirates their 10th straight loss, 5-1. Pittsburgh’s run in seventh inning, which was unearned, broke a string of scoreless frames. Spah> victory was,his .first of the season. Roe, who beat the Cardinals seven times last season, scattered nine hits to down the ’Redldrds, 4-1. The game yas held up when electricians refused to cross a picket line which was protesting the ( urtynals hiring of non-union barlenders at the i>ark concessions. | h VM (Lie's third straight tri- , uit!fill. 11l wtilrh t>«* permit* I total pf f<wr r<Mt* Th** ■ a bit* ftp * -ttoßstar • j • ftpMßftb Fant In Line For 500 Mile Race 3<l —’ I* | I l«a*Tenre Hiaceglia of Long Ueoch.
