Martin Called in Draft.
For instance, Freddie Martin,
Howard Pollet and Ted Wilkes. have
won four straight each. John Pintar
has won three. while losing one.
Houston has more than three
times as many victories as defeats.
Critics wouldn't be surprised if the
Bluffs topped the loop all the way
for the second straight year. The
club is young, but more mature than

Martin, 25-year- old newcomer, has
been called in the draft, but is ex-

Pollet Ties Shutout Mark.
Pollet, valued by President Fred
Ankenman at S51 900, tied the league
record for shutouts with three

southpaw already held the consecu-

year at 13. This year he already
has one no-hit, no-run game to his
credit.

Seven Colts SET
To Battle Him

Fast Track Promised; ;
Kansas q Surprise
Entry in Classic
BY MASON BRUNSON,

BALTIMORE, May 9.-Promised
fair weather and fast racing strip,
seven colts appeared ready today to
60 against WhirlaWay in the $50, 900
added Preakness Stakes Saturday
and try to halt his march toward
the triple crown" and 3-year-old
championship.
WhirlaWay, the unpredictable colt
from Warren Wright's Calumet
Farm, ruled heavy favorite to take
the PreakneSs in stride and Trainer
Ben Jones admitted he had hopes
his Kentucky Derby winner also
would go on to capture the Belmont
Stakes and become the fifth triple
crown" winner in turf history.
Expected to oppose Whirlaway in
the Preakness, were C. S. Howard's
Porter's Cap. Woodvale Farms Our
Boots, King Ranch's Dispose, Crispin
Oglebays Ocean Blue. Wheatley
Stables King Cole, Cold Stream
Studs Curious Coin and Millsdale
Stables Kansas. Entries closed at
1890 a m. (E. S. T) today.
Weather Man Optimistic.
The weather man refused to get
out on a limb. but hazarded that
it probably" would be fair on Sat-
urday and mo bad weather is in
sight at the moment"
Rain Wednesday night settled the
track, with indications it would be
fast tomorrow with clear weather
Porter's Cap, Our Boots and Dis
pose were beaten by Whirlaway in
his brilliant Derby victory, but
handlers of these colts predict they
would find Pimlico's cushiony track
much more to their liking than the
racing strip at Churchill Downs.
Porter's Cap worked a half mile
in 482s over a sloppy track early
yesterday, and King Cole breezed
mile in 1:5035.
Kansas A Surprise Entry.

Kansas was a surprise Preakness
entry. Tony Pelleteri, who owns
the Millsdale Stable jointly with
Mel Emerich, said yesterday he had
decided to send the colt in the big
race after he finished third behind
Ocean Blue and Alaking in the
Survivor Stakes Tuesday.
Tony confessed he was taking a
chance with Kansas, whose ability
to 60 the mile and three -sixteenths
of the Preakness in high-class COM
pany was doubtful. But Tony re-
called that his Bay View, little
horse with unprepossessing looks
and indifferent form. took down
the 100000 Santa Anita Handicap.
With eight starters. the Preakness
purse will gross s69, 500. The value
to the winner will vary. If King
Cole or Curious Coin-both $500
supplementary entries-wins, the
net value will be s49.500. For any
one of the others, the net value will
be s50,865.

ways told herself that she was willing to make
any sacrifice for her idol-almost her god.
But when the cruel blow fell it was really
a great shock TO her.
The news that Maeterlinck had married
Renee was conveyed by him in a letter to
Georgette when she returned TO his house af-
ter a theatrical tour. He assured her that
she would always be welcome TO a place in the
house his house and Renee's. Georgette did
not accept the offer
After that Gcorgette suffered many mis-
fortunes, largely financial. She had no hold
on Maeterlincks property. although she had
done much TO build it up
Her affairs went steadily from bad TO
worse. Her strength had been exhausted by
{. great cNertions she had made in producing
Maeterlinck's plays and following them on the
road. Her weakness was increased by the
psychic shock Of being separated from her
IDOL She paid long visits TO America, but she
did not do much TO restore her broken for
tunes. She suffered long spells of illness
But during all this time of trouble she had
no complaint TO make against her idol.
And now she is dead in misery and poverty
at Cannes The sacrifice is complete
Maeterlinck lives on in safety in America,
many years her senior.
Georgette has written the details Of her
own romance and tragedy. In them she tells
how she was brought up in the old French
city of Rouen by her father, a great ship
outftter.
One evening her brother Maurice Leblanc,
since famous as the author Of the "Arsene
Lupin" stories. told her about the wonderful
new Belgian poet Maeterlinck who had just
been discovered.

preparing herself TO meet him.
An engagement 10 sing in La Navarraise'
at the Monnaic Theatre in Brussels at last
gave her the opportunity TO meet Maeterlinck.
They had a long talk and afterwards Maeter-
linck sent her a copy of Emerson's Essays
inscribed:

great dreams with profound admiration and
. sympathy
After that their affair progressed rapidly.
In the ruins of the wonderful old Abbey of
st. Bavon nc told her definitely that he loved
her honeymoon on the romantic island of
Walcheren in the River Sehcldt followed Then
they went TO housekeeping together in Paris.
During the whole of their life together
Georgette says she never received money
from Maeterlinck-not even a hat. 1t was
part of the life of sacrifice.
One of the high spots of her life was her
appearance in Maeterlinck's great drama
Norma Wanna"
Maeterlinck could find no actress avail
able in Paris to play the title role. He sud-
denly insisted that Georgette must play il,
as ne had written II with her in mind.
The play had TO be produced in two months.
Coquclin advised her that it was worse than
useless to study sSor the speaking stage in
that period She must play it with her natu-
