 The only horse ir the wood who ran anywhere near as good a race as Johnstown was Al vanderbilt's Impound. In all sorts of trouble at the start, he seemed completely out of the race in the backstretch, but when he finally got strengthened and in a position to run, he really boiled to finish fast closing third. The Vanderbilt hope picked up two lengths on Johnstown in the stretch. and was flying at the finish but Im- pound won't be in the Derby. Van- derbilt, who is the president of the Maryland Jockey Club, and whose ambition it is to make the Freak ness the No. American race, will save Impound for that fixture a week from Saturday.
 If Johnstown is going to get any real opposition, it will be in the Preakness when Gilded Knight, Im- pound, and Cienca, the Ally WIG won the Santa Anita derby by six lengths, have run at him.

Quincy, Mass, May 1. George "Pinky" Woods, right handler from Waterbury Conn.,, made his collegi- ate debut in an suspicious manner today, when he pitched the Holy Cross Freshmen to a no-hit, no-run triumph over Fore River Apprentice School. The score was 12-0.
 The young Crusader was in splen- did form as he set his opponents down with seven strike outs, and all lowed only four men to reach first base. Woods gave out three base on balls and the other man reached on short stop English's misplay in the eighth inning.
 While Woods was holding his rivals at bay, the slugging Crusaders led by Charley Jacobson who hit five for six, battered Desmond, the Fore River hurler for sixteen hits and twelve runs. Holy Cross tallied three times in the first on pass to Carey, singles by English, Nahigian, Jacobson, and Cantillon, and an out field error. In the sixth inning, the Purple Frosh again put across three runs on a double by Cantillon. fol- lowed by singles from the bats of Jacobson and Sullivan, and pair of infield errors.

 If Len Dorado keeps up his ex- cep+ionally good golf he will be the dark horse of the coming tourna- ments and the city championship. During the week he turned in scores of .73, 78, 79 and 76. Some golf! Len says that the secret of his suc- cess is his winning smile.
 The drinks were all on Mike Pera- zelli Sunday when he scored a scorching birdie on the 18th hole. His second shot with a brassie landed a foot away from the cup and he ran down the putt for the birdie 3. Gle was so nervous he had to wait five minutes before he puttedD. Nice going, Mike!
 Win Scully and Tom Moore toured the course Saturday afternoon in midsummer form, clicking off pars with ease.
 Bill Egan and Jack Kearney teamed up to beat John Bergin and Ed Olson so bad over the week end that the boys had all they could do to stop Ed from selling his clubs and John from jumping off the club house roof after the match. Don't take it so hard, boys! Helen Deconinck is so elated over the fact that she cut 12 strokes off her score in one week that she threatens to take on all girls who want a match.

The real managers are asked to be on hand tonight, when another election may be demanded according to rumor.
 Brooklyn Dodgers may make

New York. May - U.PD = Jockey Sammy Renick, whose seat in night club is almost as good as it is on racehorse, was cooling himself out in the stork a few hours Memorial, and I won't insult your after the running of the Wood intelligence by asking you to guess what the patrons were asking him about.
 Those passing on the way from the bar to the dance floor asked him about Johnstown. Those passing from the dance floor to the bar asked about Johnstown. Even those who were passing-out-asked about JohnstQwn, and what Sammy thought of his chances in the Ken lucky Derby this week.
 Renick, one of the most literate the little fellows who make a iv- ing bouncing about on the backs of thoroughbreds, made himself very plain on the subject of William Woodward's big mahogany colt. When one left Sammy's stable, one could have no doubt that the Jockey considered him one of those 'once in very long while" runners.
 Hes got everything" Renick said "Everything. didn't ride in the wood, and SO I had a good chance to stand by the rail and watch Johns- town through the glasses, just fig- tire what he showed in winning that race. and try and picture anything beating him at Louisville. He was gentle as a kitten at the barrier, easy to get in place, and easy to keep in line.
 And did you see his turn of speed, his early foot? There were some hot sprinters in that field-T M. Dorset and Fl Chico, to mention tWo-but who broke on top? Johns- town. He was first away from there, and stout. had he wanted to. could have kept him there all the way, but he eased him back and let Dorset cut out the early pace.
