GREAT COLTS DUEL
AGAIN IN BELMONT
Pompoon's Trainer Insists
Horse Will "Catch" War
Admiral Before Long.
BY the Assoclateu Press.

~ ALTIMORE, May 17-Out Of
* War Adniral's flashing tri-
umphs in the Kentucky Derby
and the Preakness there
shaped up today a feud of thorough
breds that may become classic Of
American racing.
The other principal is the long
striding bay colt. Pompoon. the only
racer that ever has been able to get
up and run with the brilliant son Of
Man O. War as 3-year old.
This strong -limbed son OF Pompey
from the stable of j. H. Louchheim
was length and half behind the
champion at the finish Of the Derby.
Yet, having proved he is a slayer, he
came back at Samuel D. Riddles sleek
brown speedster in the Preakness Sat-
urday at Pimlico with such force that
he made the race one OF the greatest
the historic "Old Hilltop" course ever
has seen.
The two thoroughbreds, both In top
condition, drove down the stretch
neck and neck, outd1stancing the rest
OF the field by lengths, just as they
had done In the Derby. 1t looked
once as though Pompoon might win,
but War Admiral, responding with a
quick burst Of speed. showed his head
well in front at the finish.

Styles Are Contrasting.

THE contrasting styles Of Buddy ard
Hobo have been one Of the few
bright spots in Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn's life. Ahearn's continual
chant-'we lose money"-has been
altered in their previous battles and
this probably will be no exception.
Buddy, clean-cut lad who recently
was married to his high school sweet
heart, has been rated promising
prospect by ringwise veterans. Hobo,
a tattooed muscle man, bases his fistic
hopes on knockout wallop and thus
far has done very well, while Scott
possesses more than a smattering Of
boxing knowledge and is eager to
absorb more.
Williams has improved since his last
meeting with the former Oklahoma
Military Academy foot ball, basket
ball and boxing star, knocking out
several opponents and drawing with
and losing to the experienced Eddie
Nader.
Scott, who until few months ago
was a student at George Washington
University. has compiled an amazing
record of 80 victories and draw in
less than year Of professional
Uranium busting. Nineteen of his
triumphs have been knockouts.

Lieut.. Bauer Makes Three-Mile
Test Easy on His Pet-Chit-

T IEUT. RICHARD BAUER Of Fort

reason for the slow time in which
he won the District A. A. US second
3-mile run OF the season yesterday.
Because he didn't wish to run alone
at the head Of the procession for the

along with him yesterday. The pup.
it seemed, isn't as fast over that
stretch as his master, but rather than
run away from his pet, the Cavalry
of1icer slowed down. His time for the
distance was 16 minutes and 40
seconds.
At that, Bauer crossed the finish
line is second ahead OF DR.. Ben G.
Chitwood, who placed second. Next
Sunday Chitwood, Washington's lead
ing hope of winning The Stars ma
