Tim Tam Warms Up Today In Derby Trial LOUISVILLE. Ky. (UP’— Calumet Farm's Tim Tam, the Kentucky Derby favorite, warms up today for Saturday's classic in the $15,000 added Derby trial, with Ismael Valenzuela in the saddle as a replacement for injured Bill Hartack. — | Dozens of top jockeys were anxious to ride Tim Tam in the first [of the Triple Crown classics after Hartack broke a small bone in his left leg at Churchill Downs on Saturday. Trainer Jimmy Jones of Calumet tagged Valenzuela as rider for Tim Tam in the trial and intimated that the Texas-born rider would also be aboard in the big one Saturday if things go well in the warmup. Jones said, however, that Valenzuela only had been engaged for the trial and not for the rose run10 3-Year-Olds Run Ten three-year-olds were entered in the trial, a mile race which has produced Kentucky Derby winners Citation, Hill Gail and Dark Star. Tim Tam ruled a 4 to 5 favorite to add this test to his earlier victories this year in the Everglades, the Flamingo, the [ Fountain of Youth and the Florj ida Derby. Lined up against him will be ' Claiborne Farm’s Nadir, C. W. Smith's Hillsdale, Robert W. Wilson’s Hill Country, George Lewis’ Martins Rullah, W. S. Miller’s Rellim S.W., Hasty House Farm’s Alarullah. C. V. Whitney's Flamingo, W. G Reynolds' Colonel R. Sr, and Maine Chance Farm’s Ebony Pearl. Pre-Derby talk continued to cen- , ter on Tim Tam, Jewel’s Reward and Silky Sullivan, the stretch- | running colt from California with I'the flaming red coat. | Jewel's Reward, owned by the [Maine Chance Farm of Mrs. ElizI abeth Graham had his last pre- : Derby race when he/ won the ; Wood Memorial at Jamaica. He I had his last serious workout for the race Monday when he worked the full Derby distance of one and one-quarter miles in 2:11 over’ a i track that was sloppy and slick.

Mrs. Graham has decided to run only these two in the Derby unless Ebony Pearl, her third candidate. runs a real big race in the trial Silky Sullivan merely galloped [ Monday. Twenty-six Kentucky Derby candidates are stabled at Churchill Downs. The first break in the solid front to start them all appeared when Mrs. Ada L. Rice's Talent Shew was put on the doubtful list. Jockey Willie Harmatz flew in from California to ride this colt but now has no mount. The trial and the $1,500 total starting fee is expected to reduce the field still further.

Coliseum's Layout [ Hurts Duke Snider By ALE XKAHN United Press Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (UP’— If there are any tears to be shed over the dimensions of the playing field in [Memorial Coliseum, shed them for Duke Snider, the Dodger slugging star who in nine home games has failed to get a home run. President Walter O’Malley said today. Under league rules the barrier could not be changed this season. O’Malley pointed out that when the field was laid out as the temporary home of the Dodgers, the club deliberately made the leftfield line the short one to keep from being accused of tailoring the park to suit their own hitting star, Snider, the left-handed hitter \Miio pulls to right. But despite that, the Dodgers have been under severe criticism for cheapening the value of home runs with the 250-foot left field foul line and the 42-foot screen which backs it up. In the nine games the club has played at home 28 homers have been hit and 20 of these have been over the left field screen. Os these. Dodger opponents hit 13, and the home club 7. O’Malley, Baseball Commissioner Ford C- Frick, National League President Warren C. Giles and iNL batting king Stan Musial are all in agreement that despite the short left-field playing area Babe Ruth’s home run mark of 60 is in no particular danger. One of the greatast hitters of all times. Rogers Hornsby, feels that if batters deliberately try to | gun for the screen they may throw themselves into slumps that could prove disastrous to their averages. Manage Walt Alston of the Dodgers isn't particularly . worried. He feels that as the pitchng improves fewer homers will Ibe sailing over that left-field barI rier and the evidence seems to be on his side. “As many home run balls have been caught in right field as have sailed over the left-field fence,” Alston points out. “It all balances out. Sometimes the breaks are with one team and the next time with- the other. We've been hurt when some of our left-handed hitters have lost extra-base hits to right and we’ve been helped when some went over the screen.” To get an estimate from a man who knows, left-fielder Jim Gilliam. we asked him how many of the balls that went over the fence could have been caught if the playing area there were 30 or 40 ’[feet deeper. ‘' “I guess I could have caught about half of them,” Gilliam said. ’’•But the line drive hitters like Ernie Banks of the Cubs have been robbed of extra-base hits or I maybe homers that hit the screen” Man Is Convicted On Manslaughter Charge Muncie Jury Finds Gun Slayer Guilty I MUNCIE W— A jury of 11 men I and a woman convicted William |H. Davis, 29. Cammack. Monday night on a charge of manslaughter lin the shotgun slaying of a truck I driver who was friendly with Da- > vis’ former wife. Delaware Circuit Judge Paul E. Leffler sentenced Davis-to 2to 21 years at the Indiana Reformatory. The jury deliberated seven hours. The state had demanded conviction on a charge of first- | degree murder in the death last I Oct. 4 of Donald Tensfeldt, Tena‘fly. N. J. Evidence in the trial indicated that Davis shot Tensfeldt in the ' town of Daleville, motivated by I jealousy because of Tensfeldt’s atI tentions to Mrs. Janice Davis, a ! truck stop restaurant waitress who was divorced from Davis before | the shooting. 1 Davis contended the shooting was accidental, although he admitted prodding Tensfeldt in the back with a gun-barrel. After the Verdict, Davis said he was glad for the chance to pay his debt and “get right with society and God.” “Tensfeldt will have to suffer through eternity for the things he did,” Davis said. Report Three Deer Sighted Near City Mrs. Gerald Vizard and Mrs. Larry Vizard report seeing three deer Sunday while they were driving on the Piqua road near the Anthony Wayne Meadows addition. stlie fleer were grazing in a nearby field, and dashed across the road in front of their car.
