Today's Sports Parade

it would not surprise me at all 10
have another super horse come
popping from the mistS.
The trouble with our super horses
today is that they are definitely
specialists. They can be catalogued
first like doctors. Fast track special
lists Muddy track specialists Six
furlong pecialists. Mile specialists.
And. almost as if you had drawn
up a code of ethics, not one of
these specialists will infringe upon
the other ones field JohnstoWn
makes his hay money when the
sun shines. Challedon saves up his
speed for rainy day.
Who can say that one is greater
than the other? They are both
fine in their particular fields, and
until the weatherman can figure
out day hat is dry and wet at
the same time no one will be able
To figure out how these two horses
compare. JGhnstoWn appeared very
uncomfortable in the mud at Balti-
more. A tremendously long, free
strider on dry footing, he gave the
impression of mincing--like a
woman crossing a wet street-in the
mud at the Preakness. He had
shortened his stride almost to a
chop at the mile. and from that
point on went completely to pieces
Challedon reveled in the goo A
close knit runner, with a short
stride, he seemed to bit through
the slippery topsoil to the firm
solid base OF the track.
The truth is-and it hurts me tc
say it, after all the fulsome praise
that I have layished on Johnstowr
and Chaledon-the truth is, neither
one is really great The really
great ones go on any kind of track
on any kind of day, and If l didn't
have to go and trim the wicks or
the lamps I would compare tht
really great horses of history, anc
not unfayorably, to Napoleon BY
moonlight, A. Washington and G
Lincoln, etc.

MARKET QUOTATIONS
NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, May Is. (UP) -
Stocks began the new week today
with an irregular advance in a
light turnover.
United States government bonds
rose to new all time highs to feature
a strong bond list, while commod-
tiles were mixed and business in
dices tended lower.
silk futures, with gains ranging
to 13 cents pound, featured the
commodity division. May wheat
lost Ia cents a bushel. Cotton de-
clined a few points.
Most disconcerting business news
was the weekly report of the Am
erican Iron and Steel Institute
showing steel operations scheduled
at 45.4 per cent of capacity. That
was a decline of 1.6 points or 3.4
per cent from the previous week
and. except for the short Christina $
week. the smallest since September
IL, 1888. IT was the seventh sue
cessive weekly decline in this major
industry.
Steel shares. which had shown
small gains, slipped back to around
the previous close. Copper shares
held steady on unchanged copper
prices abroad.
A few utility issues dipped slight
ly. Rails were slightly higher and
there were gains in motors, rubberS,
foods. chemicals and aviations.

Ancient Tony Lazzeri. former
New York Yankee second baSeman
who has been tossed around in the
National league like a log adrift.
today landed with the New York
Giants and indications arc he will
stick out the season with the Terry
men.
I,azzeri went from the Yankees
to the Chicago Cubs and lasted only
one year. The CUBS announced
they had no place for the veteran.
From Chicago Lazzeri went to
Brooklyn and the Dodgers released
him last Saturday.
Both the Cubs and the Dodgers
indicated they had no spot for the
aging Tony but there were rumors
i'll each case. which mentioned other
causes for Lazzeri's releases.
One reason offered was that both
Hartnett and Durocher, managers
of the Cubs and Dodgers, were
afraid Tony would land their Jobs
Other reasons were that Lazzeri
was a trouble maker, that he could
Mt get along with other players on
the club.
If either reason has any founda-
ton Lazzeri won't have the same
trouble with the Giants.
Bill Terry has never had any
trouble keeping players in line and
he is the last manager in either
league to worry about his job.
So watch the veteran Lazzeri or
third for the Giants. He is still a
dangerous hitter with men on ths
sacks. as was shown by the number
of runs drove home for both the
Cubs and the Dodgers, and he is q
reliable fielder.
