Muddy Track Expected For Derby Today LOUISVILLE. Ky. (UP' — The historic Churchill Downs racetrack was expected to be muddy today when fabulous Silky Sullivan tries his eome-from-behind magic against the nation's top colts in the 84th running of the Kentucky Derby. Rain began falling bn Derby- ' town at noon Friday and forecasts were it would continue off-and-on until the 4:32 p.m. (cd.t.) post time for the most glamorous American horse race. The prospect of an “off" track was just one more puzzling factor in one of the most hotly-debated Derbies in history—a race that is expected to jam old Churchill Downs to the rafters with a crowd of more than 100.000 come rain or shine. Derbies always draw capacity crowds, but this time one horse is the lure for many of the fans. That’s Silky Sullivan, the big red “Irishman'' from the West Coast who sleeps late in the morning, ambles through the first mile o£ a race and then comes roaring MIXED DOUBLES SATURDAY 9:00 P.M.

like an express train from far, far behind. Silky’s Fans Legion Can Silky pull such amazing tactics on the likes of Tim Tafti, star of proud Calumet Farm which already has 'won six Deri bies, or Jewel’s Reward, the steed jto be ridden by all-time derby jockey champion Eddie Arcaro? “Yes.” cry Silky's fans, who are legion in this city today. "No,” say hard-bitten horse experts who insist the wonder horse just can’t be that igood. All three of the top choices are supposed to be good "mud” runners. But the weather prospects left the size of the starting field in doubt.' Sixteen colts were en- i tered on Thursday, but it appeared that only 13 or less would actually rach the post. Trainer Ivan Parke of Maine. Chance Farm withdrew Jet's Alibi Friday because the colt has a sore foot. He also switched jockey Manny Ycaza from Jet’s Alibi to Ebony PearlTrainer Harry Trotsek of Hasty House Farm said Can Trust would not start but then owner Allie Reuben decided to wait until the last minute before deciding. He| has, until 45minutes before the race. Tim Tam Favored Trainer Norman Haymaker says A Dragon Killer will start only on a fast track. It isn’t Likely to be fast, although the Churchill Downs running strip dries quickly. Tim Tam, awarded a decision ' over Jewel’s Reward in the Flamingo Stakes through a disqualification, was the favorite in the pre-race “line’’ but Silky Sullivan was a strong second choice. Jewel’s Reward, champion two-year-old of 1957 when he set a record for a juvenile by earning $349,642. was third choice. The others—Wa rfeh G., Gone Fishin', Martins Rullah, Flamingo, Lincoln Road, Red Hot Pistol. I Chance It Tony, Noureddin, Eb- ‘ ony Pearl and Benedicto —were I not given much of a chance to upset the favorites. Tim Tam, carrying the hopes of Calumet Farm for a seventh Victory in the Rose Run, will be ridden by Ismael Valenzuela, who never before has ridden in the Kentucky Derby. Willie Shoemaker, out to atone for misjudging the finish line aboard Gallant Man a year ago and thus losing to Iron Liege, rides Silky Sullivan. In addition to the thousands at Churchill Downs, the race will be watched by turf fans throughout "the nation. It will be telecast and broadcast by CBS from 4;15 tQ2 4:45 p.m. (c.dt.l.

Little League Tryouts Postponed For Week Friday night’s rain today forced postponement of the Decatur Little League tryouts, scheduled for this afternoon at Worthman field. L. E. Beal, league president, announced that the tryouts will be held next Saturday, May 10, at 1 p.m. at Worthman field. . Hl Indian Rookie Pilches Third Win On Friday By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The 1958 crop of major league rookies was supposed to be one of the poorest in years but you can’t prove it by the Cleveland Indians and San Francisco Giants. Both these sixth-place finishers of 1957 are off to fine starts this season and both owe a major share of the credit to rookies. Jim (Mudcatl Grant, a big rightI hander who was with San Diego last season, is the Indians' early candidate for rookie of the year honors in the American League and hard-hitting Orlando Cepeda and Bob Schmidt are playing key roles for the surprising Giants. Grant turned in his third straight nine-inning victory Friday night as the Indians beat the Baltimore Orioles, 6-1, x for their sixth victory in eight games. The win put the Indians in fourth place only two games behind the league-leading New York Yankees. Cepeda delivered a rtm-scoring single that kept his average at 317 and Schmidt smashed his third homer of the season off Jack Sanford as the Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2. The victory was the Giants’ 10th in 16 games and left them only a half game behind the first-place Chicago Cubs. Pitching vs Hitting Brilliant pitching was the order of the day in the other American League games while other National League activity was featured by heavy slugging. Bob Turley fired a four-hitter as the Yankees cooled off the Kansas City Athletics, 8-1, Camilo Pascual struck out 13 batters to lead the Washington Senators to a 3-2, 10-inning victory over the Chicago White Sox and Dave Sisler’s six-hitter enabled the Boston Red Sox to beat the Detroit Ti:gers. 6-0, in the other AL. games. In the’ N.L., Walt Moryn’s ninth-inning homer lifted the Cubs to an 8-7 triumph over the Milwaukee Braves, George Crowe knocked in six runs as the Cincinnati Redlegs toppled the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-3, and the Dos I Angeles Dodgers bounced back from a .5-0. deficit to end the Pittsburgh Pirates’ six-game winning streak, 9-5. Grant, who has yielded 18 hits and four runs in his three victories. struck out three batters and backed attack that featured a homer by Minnie Minosb ’and a triple by* Bo bb y Avila. Billy Loes lost his third straight for Baltimore. Mike McCormick, young bonus lefty, received credit for the Giants’ triumph although he needed Marv Grissom’s help in the ninth. Sanford, rookie of the year in 1957, now stands 2-2 for this season. Turley, who had pitched two previous shutouts, yielded his first run of the year on Bob Cerv's eighth homer but otherwise mowed down the Athletics with ease. Tony Kubek, filling in for the injured Mickey Mantle, had three hits and Bill Skowron homered for the YankeesPascual struck out 10 batters in the first foQr inning? and wound up with his first win when Julio Becquer, batting for the Cuban pitcher, singled home the winning run with two out in the 10th. Rocky Bridges, who doubled with one out, tallied the run that dealt the White Sox their 10th loss in 15 games and fifth by a one-run margin. Pascual’s strikeout total was ontj, short of Walter Johnson's club record. Sisler did not allow a Tiger to reach third base as he registered his third win for the Red Sox. Pete Runnels had three hits and Jimmy Piersail two to lead the Red Sox’ attack on 20-game winner Jim Bunning, who stands 1-3 for the current campaign. The Cubs pulled out their most sensational yictory of the season after tieing the score with a sixrun rally in the seventh inning. Jim Bolger smashed a three-run hoiner during the big frame which routed Gene Conley. Don Elston, fourth Cub pitcher, gained his third win in relief. Crowe hammered out two singles and a homer to spark the Redlegs to their third win in a row. Brooks Lawrence went 8 1-3 innings -and Hal Jeffcoat finished up for Cincinnati while Sam Jones suffered his third loss. The Cardinals have lost four straight, seven out of eight and 11 of 14 games. Relief ace Clem Labine permitted only one walk and no hits ' over the last 3 1-3 innings for the Dodgers, who were rocked by a five-run Pittsburg rally in the second inning. The Dodgers, however, tallied six runs to go ahead l in the fourth Don Zimmer led the Los Angeles attack with three hits, three runs batted in and two runs scored.

Tommy Bolt Leads ■ 8 In Colonial Open FORT WORTH. Tex. (UP) - Temperamental Tommy Bolt, who claims he's cured of paying out SSOO fines for tempestuous tanr trums on the links, packed a neat but not very safe two-stroke lead I into the third round of the $25,000 . Colonial National Invitation golf ; tournament today. Bolt, whose club-throwing tendencies have been curbed to such an extent that he hasn’t been out a penny this year whie finislhing , in the money in 11 of 12 tourna- ; ments, wasn’t paying perfect golf by any means over the raindrenched Colonial Country Club course. But, his 68-70 during the. rainpestered first two rounds was the most consistent among the 48player field and he was in an exi cellent position to stake a firm | claim to the $5,000 first money. Closest to Bolt as the field faced another day of showers and i thunderstorms was Stan Leonard, of Vancouver, who was continu- ’ ing to play the same steady golf ' that carried him to the Tournament of Champio** crown last week end. Leonard had a 68-72. 1 One stroke behind were Fred ' Hawkins and Lloyd Mangrum at 141; Hawkins had one of the two : sub-par rounds fashioned in Fri- ■ day’s rain-drenched round—a 69 , that was equalled by hometowner ■ Ben Hogan. Mangrum could do no . better than a 73 to go with his opening 68. Four strokes off the pace was Arnold Palmer, whose game skidi ded a dozen strokes from his course record equalling 65 on opening day to a rather humiliating 77 Friday, sentimental favor- ; ite Hogan and YMtul Harney. 1 Gene Littler, Ed Oliver and Gardner Dickinson were bracket- ! ed at 143, while Cary Middlecoff , and Jay Hebert were at 144.

Archie Moore Wins Over German Boxer LOUISVILLE, Ky- (UP)-Light-heavyweight champion Archie Moore left his equine friend behind 'today to go fishin' on his own for another German scalp. Old Arch, who seems to ripen with age (estimated at from 40 to 44 and pick ’em) disillusioned 25year -old German heavyweight Willi Besmanoff Friday night, but wanted to stay behind in Derbytown to watch his Kentucky Derby sick, Gone Fishin', run. He had to leave for Vancouver, British Columbia, however, for a May 9 fight. Arch, who has won them all since losing to heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson in 1956, took the steam out of young Besmanoff about the third round with wicked left hooks and stinging rights to grab a close but clear-cut decision. Only Referee Dan Leslie disagreed with the two judges and the majority of ringside observers who gave the nod to Moore.

"We got Charley Norkus lined up after we fight this German boy in Vancouver—-what's his name,” Moore said. No one seemed to remember the fighter's, name. A crowd of 4,500 watched Moore stagger Besmanoff twice but fail to floor him in the third round of the nationally-televised bout.
