Gallant Man 1 Is Withdrawn 1 At Preakness BALTIMORE (UP)-Eddie Ar- ' care’s blast at Bold Ruler, two 1 withdrawals' and a tine workout i indicated today Iron Liege will be the favorite Saturday when > My Maryland” sig- i nals the start of the 81st Preak- i ness. ■ Here's how Iron Liege, surprise winner of the May 4 Kentucky 1 Derby, surged to the fore as i "Preakness Week” began Monday < at the old Pimlico track: ( —Gallant Man, second in the t Derby, was withdrawn from the t SIOO,OOO added Preakness because j he hasn’t recovered from his Derby tussle with Iron Liege. ( —Gen. Duke, the Calumet Farm ( colt who missed the Derby because of a sore left front foot, , worked a mile between the first J and second races and pulled up ? lame. Trainer Jimmy Jones said 1 the colt re-injured the foot, would 1 not run in the Preakness and ' would be taken out of training ’ "indefinitely.” • 1 —lron Liege, who gave Calumet its sixth Derby triumph when ! Gen. Duke went lame, followed his stablemate on the . track and I produced one of the fastest work- ’ outs in Pimlico history. Although | throttled down by jockey Oliver Cutshaw through the last furlong, he did a mile in 1:37 4-5, only [ one - fifth of a second off the i track's 34-year-old record. f —Arcaro then had to whip s Wheatley Stable’s Bold Ruler, a t poor fourth in the Derby, to de- t feat Inswept by a length in the £ mile and one-sixteenth Preakness Prep. Bold Ruler’s time was a snappy 1:43 3-5. Arcaro wasn’t | impressed. Convoy was a distant , last in the field of three. ’ Probably not more than seven will run in the Preakness. Besides Iron Liege and Bold Ruler, ? Federal Hill, Inswept. Nah Miss 1 and Promised Land appear fairly 1 certain to start. Cain Hoy Stable s will decide later in the week ' whether it will send One-Eyed i King down from New York for the race. , v * Ji ; J I 1 24 Schools Entered In AJOlt jetl Wiinl " ( Decatur is one of 24 schools ' entered in the ninth annual state high school golf sectional, which will be held Sat. at Brookwood in Fort Wayne.

Major Leagues Cut Rosters To Meet Deadline United Press Sports Writer A host of players on 10 major league teams probably felt like a traffic violator waiting for a patrolman to hand him a summons. Six clubs already have trimmed their rosters to the required 25player limit, a United Press survey revealed, but 18 more heads will roll before the cutdown deadline at midnight Wednesday. ,In the National League, the Cubs, Pirates, Giants and Phillies completed transactions Monday that enabled them to square away their rosters 48 hours ahead of time. The Cardinals still must cut three players, the Braves are two over the limi£ while the Dodgers and the Redlegs each have one pink slip to hand out. The ligers and the Athletics are the only American League teams not faced with roster - trimming worries. The Senators and the Indians each must cut three players. the White Sox are two over, and the Yankees, Red Sox and Orioles one each. Senators Beat Bosox Only one game was played in the majors Monday—the Senators downing the Red Sox, 5-3, in a night game at Boston. This off day enabled some of the clubs to get a jump on the cutdown deadline. The Giants reached the 25-play-er limit by dumping four men and purchasing right - handed pitcher Stu Miller from Minneapolis in the American Association. Southpaw John (Windy) McCall was sold to San Francisco of the Pacific Coast League; pitcher Gordon Jones was optioned to Minneapolis, and outfielder Bill Taylor and catcher-infielder Bobby Hofman were released outright to the same club. The Cubs purchased two infielders — picking up Bobby Morgan from the Phillies and acquiring Jack Littrell from Portland of the PCL. At the same time, first baseman Ed Mickelson ana infielder Ed Winceniak were sold to Portland; pitcher Dave Hillman was optioned to the same club, and outfielder Bob Lenpon was released to San Diego in the PCL. Waivers on first baseman Ed Robinson were asked by the Detroit Tigers who will have to release another player by May 25. when second baseman Frank Bolling’s national service exemption expires. It is believed another infielder will be sold or traded by then. Die Phillies reached the legal limit when Morgan was sold to the Cubs, while the Pirates did the same by selling southpaw Bob Kuzava to Columbus and optioning catcher Danny Kravitz to the same International League club. Ted Abernathy allowed only four hits in picking up his first victory of the season at the expense of the Red Sox. Herb Plews collected three hits and knocked in two runs to lead the Washington attack. Ted Williams went hitless in three official at - bats and dropped into second place in the American League batting race with a .403 average. Bowling Scores Major league Final Standings W. L. Pts.
