Star Sprinter Never
Will Compete Again

BERKELEY, Cal, April 25. WP)-
Staggered by physicians pronounce
ment that George Anderson, star
sprinter, probably never will run in
competition again, University of
California's track team, crippled by
injuries and a campus measles epid-
emic, meets Stanford today in the
annual dual meet.
Anderson, who equalled the world
record Of ga seconds in the 100
yard dash as sophomore and was
regarded as a strong candidate for
membership on the United States
Olympic sprint team this year, has
been out of competition all season
nursing a knee injury suffered in
a campus touch-tackle football game
last fall.

NEW YORK, April 20. UP)-Will
the Little Lone Lady still be alone
after the second Of May?
For q years she has lived by
herself, with no one to keep her
company in the dull pages of the
record book, and on the weather
beaten veranda of rambling Chur-
chill Downs.
The Little Lone Lady is Regret,
the only filly ever to win the
Kentuck Derby. Run through the
list of the Bluegrass Classic win
ners and hers is the lone girls
name. There is stands, engulfed in
the names of 60 colts:
Regret Oh. F., IL H. P. Whitney
James Rowe ST. Pebbles Sharp
shooter"
For 40 years before she won it,
and for 20 years after, the girls
have been trying to come down in
front in Louisville and give her q
little company. But they have
Mt been able to make it. Only
last year it seemed as if Regret at
last was to have company, for Mel
lie Flag, as sweet a stepping gal as
you'd want to see, went to the post
favorite And She paraded out,
with a band swinging soft and low
on My Old Kentucky Home, on a
track she loved. Meaning a track
that flowed with mud, and was
soft and cozy underfoot.
'NellieII show the boys home
today" the critics said, as the
barrier went up.
But she didn't. She didn't even
cCme close. For as they hit the
first turn bunch Of the boys,
with a fine show of rudeneSs, all
but ran over poor Nellie, knock
ing her almost into the infield.
That finished Nellie.
But you can't discourage the
girls. Last Saturday at Havre De
Grace, on the honey track that
nestles in a crook Of the SUsque-
hanna, a sharply, brown filly came
banging down the stretch in a
most tomboyish manner, to run
through ard over half a dozen of
the boys she'll meet in the derby
and win the rich Chesapeake stakes.

Talbot of Naugatuck found Angelo Capaldo, 1440 North Main street, not guilty of charges of evading re- sponsibility'and operating under the ir luence of liquor in 8 lengthy city court session here this morning.
 Capaldo was arrested on the eve- ming of March 1 by Motor Patrol men Vincent Begg and John Mur- phy after an accident on Thomas ton avenue in which his car struck another machine after first knock ing down about 50 feet of highway fe4cc and skidding across the road. Trial of the case began last Friday and was halted the following day by Judge Edward Mascolo, who dis qualified himself.
 No Evasion
 In granting the discharge today Judge Talbot declared that the evil dence showed no attempt to evade responsibility. He said that the fact, corroborated by Stanley Klaneski of Thomaston, driver of the other car, that Capaldo had first asked about the condition of his companions and then said he was going for a tow car was suhcient refutation of

 Discharges Prisoner
Judge Talbot Finds No Evidence of Evasion of Re- spOnsibiIity, Gives Accused Benefit of Doubt on
 Complaint of Driving AIegedIy Under Influence

the evasion charge. Regarding the charge of driving under the in- duenc, the judge said:
 he only testimony on this point was that given by the arresting of- flcers who said that Capaldo stag gered, and by another officer Nieu- tenant John Dunphy) who said that the man staggered when he was brought into headquarters and that there was 8 smell of liquor on his breath. His conversation with Klan- eski after the accident would indi- cate that his condition was normal. While there is no doubt ill my mind that Capaldo had been drinking, I cannot bring myself to feel that he was under the influence from the testimony given. It is a close case which might be decided either way, but am going to give him the benefit of the doubt"
 Testimony Convincing
 Judge Talbot said his decision was influenced largely by the testimony of Klaneski and of Homer Wooster of Waterville, whose home Capable had been visiting prior to the ac- cident; and John Farino of South Leonard street, passenger in Capaldo's car. Wooster said he and Capaldo had had only two drinks, one during supper and one shortly afterward. Capaldo, on the stand, said he had had three glasses of beer during the afternoon, which with the drinks at Wooster's house later, was the extent of his drink ing that day. The accident hap pened between 9:15 and 9:30 o. clock, witnesses said.
