although awkward-appearing in the

gets about everything that comes his

Washington he cracked out 81 hits in

after he had completed the trade BY

"I'd been worrying for some time

Griffith stated in explanation of the
deal I'VE mad used Boken at first in
exhibitions and Harris had been Drac-
ticing at the position. But Boken
wasn't so good there as at other
places in the infield. And Harris is
too valuable as an emergency out
fielder to risk having MIN hurt at
first base. So when the chance came
to get Kress even up, we jumped at it.
"Kress looks pretty good to me at
first base for player who has been
there only occasionally. And he is
no mean player at second base or

Sets Record For Preakness.

SeLS ncCOTu fOT fTedkncSS.
A length back at the end of the one
and three-sixteenthr miles was Discov-
cry, second to Cavalcade in the Derby
and fighting to ward off the deter
mined challenge of Agrarian which
was third in the Kentucky Derby. One
and one-half lengths separated the
pair at the judges stand.
The judges first posted Agrarian's
number as finishing third but quickly
changed it, giving the chestnut son OF
Display the position. 1t was the first
time in IA starts that Agrarian had
failed to finish in the money.
In defeating his stablemate for the
second time since they began their
racing careers last year, High Quest
earned S25,l75 TO boost his total earn
lngs to $44,690. Cavalcade's share of
the gross purse of $4,000 was S25OO
and sent his earnings up to $53 ,855.
High Quest beat the Derby winner by
a length IN the Eastern Shore Handi-
cap at Harve de Grace last Fall
Over a fast track, High Quest reeled
off the distance in 1885, one fifth
of a second of the track record but
four-fifths of a second faster than the
best Preakness time, made by Cow
entry in 1925. Out in front all the
way he stepped the first 6 furlongs
in the sizzling time Of l:l225 and was
at the mile post in 1875.
Cavalcade Is Pocketed,
But for a few bad breaks, Caval-
cade might have joined Sir Barton,
Gallant Fox and Burgoo King as
the only horses that have won both
the Derby and Preakness and Uncle
Mack Garner probably would have
been rejoicing over his first victory in
the famous stake.
The Derby winner had all the worst
of the racing luck. He was sixth away
from the barrier and was forced to GO
wide at the first turn as High Quest
sped along in front with Mrs F. A.
Carreaud's Time Supply, Discovery
and Mrs Payne Whitney's Spy Hill
Tapped close behind the fast travelling
pacemaker.
Garner made his move midway in
the backstretch. He took Cavalcade
to the outside and like the laundering
charge of the light brigade he moved
forward. Entering the homestretch
however, Garner sought to find an
opening on the rail. The move proved
costly as Cavalcade was pocketed be-
tween High Quest, running on the
rail, and Discovery, moving up on the
outside.
Jones then went to the whip and
High Quest moved away from Discov-
cry, leaving Cavalcade room to charge
on. He staged a great finish but Jones,
ever fearful of the still dangerous
Vanderbilt colt. continued to ride
High Quest with all his brilliant
Workmanship.
Time Supply, after forcing the pace
through the backstretch, called il
quits at the head of the stretch and
wound up sixth. five lengths back OF
Spy Hill in fifth place. RiSkulus. car

California never was in the race, fin
