HE famed Preakness Stakes is the next classic for the race goers to discuss and stir the horse dope. . . . The event is to be run at Pimlico track, just outside of Baltimore, on Saturday. ... It will be the 47th renewal and the value of the stake this year has been increased from $25,000 to $50,000. . . . The cream of the 3-year-olds will be there, including War Admiral, Pompoon and Reaping Reward, first three finishers in the Kentucky Derby. . . The event drew an entry of 85, but the guess is that not more than 16 will start. . . . Matey, one of last year’s crack 2 ‘year-olds, was not entered in the Derby and has been

ARYLAND'S Preakness was named after M. J. Sanford’s fine colt which won the Dinner Party Stakes, or as it was afterward called, the Dixie, at the inaugural Pimlico meeting in 1870. . . . Preakness was a village in New Jersey, where the Sanford stock farm was located. * o « « The current distance is one mile and three-sixteenths. - . . The event lapsed for a period of 10 years at one time, from 1899 till 1909. . . . The Preakness’ fame has been clouded, more or less, by its proximity to the Kentucky

- Derby, but it’s an interesting fixture in turfdom. 2 = = n 2 2

HE fact that the Derby at Churchill Downs Saturday developed into a 2-horse race instead of a spectacular contest with the field bunched, is sure to cut the Preakness lineup . .. Most of the horses in the Derby were so far outclassed their owners will not ship to Baltimore ...War Admiral proved he belongs in the superior class and Pompoon’s comeback indicated the same . .. The time was 2:03 1-5, second best for the Derby . .. Twenty Grand, 1931 winner, turned the route in 2:01 4-5, which is the record ... War Admiral had plenty left coming home, but was not required to step up the pace in the back stretch, otherwise Twenty Grand’s time probably would have been topped by the son of Man o’ War . .. Jockey Charlie Kurtsinger, a Louisville product who was brought up in the Churchill Downs neighborhood, handled the reins on both Twenty Grand and War Admiral.

Al a slight token of recognition for services rendered the league in the past, the board of directors of the American Association has voted to issue season passes, good in all of the league parks to-all former players, ngw out of baseball, who served all or a part of five different seasons in [the circuit and who live in or contiguous to league cities. . . . Because many of these former favorites served a portion of some of the seasons in [the major leagues, either before they were sent down to the American Association or when sold to clubs in the big time before the close of the league campaign, it was decided that any portion of a season would be accepted and counted as one year in figuring the service Former players who are qualified for the season passes are asked to file their applications direct with the heads of the clubs in the A.

‘WAR ADMIRAL

Derby Winner Should Take Pimlico Event to Rule Over 3-Year-Olds, Williams Says

Gallant Son of Man o’ War So Outclassed the Competition, In Famous Classic of the Blue Grass Region That He Just About Spoiled the Race, Is View.

IS BOOSTED FOR PREAKNESS

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 10—War Admiral won the Derby like a champion. There seems to be no reason why he shouldn't win the Preakness this week-end in the same manner. This would come close to making him the 3-year-old champion of the year even if he never ran in another race. : It’s a funny thing about these race horses. Until the Derby is run nobody seems to know who, which or what is the best of the 3-year-olds. Immediately the Derby is-over we suddenly have the super horse of the

year. Everybody knows the winner &- -

of the Derby is the best horse. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION

race t hat he wasn't in front. The son of Man O’'War was another favorite who came down in front in America's most famous horse race. This couldn't have been a surprise to anybody who follows the races. I imagine the only reason everybody at the track didn't bet on him was that he was the favorite.

You should know how it is about favorites. You say to yourself, this is the horse that should win but there's a chance another horse at a better price might have racing luck and win. So what do you do? You ignore the favorite and start guessing. There are times when this sort of guessing yields exciting returns.

finish line ahead of Poempoon.

But last Saturday was not one of those times. The chart showed that War Admiral was second away from the starting line. If he was second away it must have been for the briefest sort of a moment. Because anybody “’ho saw the race will tell you there was only one horse in it. It was War Admiral at the first, it as War Admiral up the back stretch, it was War Admiral going into the far turn, it was War Admiral at thz finish. I have seen :) Derbies in a row. I never saw a hor-- take such complete charge of.the show. War Admiral won se handily, so convincingly, so triumphantly that, paradoxically, he spoiled the race. He was too good. It wasn't even a contest. And when it isn’t even a ccntest it can’t be much fun. It certainly can’t be much fun to the stabbers and guessers wha +: trying to root some other horse across. But when it's all over and the winner is down there ii. the little inclosure which is reservec for only one horse a year—a thing that looks like a ‘small putting green with a fence around it—you just must go with the crowd. You just must say, “Well there's a real race horse and from now on they got to beat him

Such a match was played at Coffin on Saturday. Lay and Shields gave Joe Reidy and Clarence Kouts two shots a hole. It developed that this was too much of a handicap and the archers got whipped, but the match wasn’t over until the last hole. & = rp On a best ball basis the match was square, counting the handicap. On all other scoring plans Joe and Clarence won, still not forgetting those two shots per hole. If you forget them you will have an idea -what might have been, as the archers had a best arrow of 57. Mr. Lay had a |gross of 69 and Mr. Shields, whois president of the Indianapolis Archery Club, slumpad to 72. These scores are really not so good—for| them, One had a 10 and one an |11 on successive holes. These blowups were caused by shooting back and forth over the green eight or 10 times before knocking the ball from the stick. | You see, the rules say you must | make a full draw on each shot. No fair babying up. If the arrow doesn’t connect it may sKip 50 or 100 yards past the hole. So Archers Shields and Lay aren't satisfied. They want a return match. If they miss a birdie it makes them sore. ”n 2 2 John Mahan got his hole in one yesterday at Pleasant Run. A tap with a six iron from the 11th tee went into the hole without further persuasion.
