 The same program was mapped for Blue Swords, runner-up to tho Count in the Derby and second choice in the PreakneSS.
 Meanwhile, the smallest field since 1889 appeared likely to go to ths post in the annual event. Not since Buddhist won the race by 10 lengths over the only other entry 54 years ago has Marylands richest turf classic had as slender a list of con- petitors.
 The only horse likely to start against the Count in addition to Blue Swords is W. L. Bran's Vim centive, which did not go in the Derby. Another possible starter is w. K. Boeing's Slide Rule, which finished third in the Derby, but he has not been shipped here from Jamaica yet.
 Should a fourth horse be missing in the event Saturday, the money usually allocated for finishing in that position will remain in the till of the Maryland Racing club.

 From all indications, the Wilby high school baseball squad is op- erating on the axiom "a bad start is a good finish" for, after losing three in a row to open the season, the Wildcats bounded back so hard that they have now won three straight for a 800 mark in the won and lost column. Yesterday, at Municipal Stadium, eight-hit pitch ng by Johnny Nacunas nearly shut put Leavenworth, but did allow Wilby a 3-l victory, and, ironically enough, Crosby high won the Al Kellie Memorial trophy because Leavenworth was defeated.
 The trophy is awarded annually to the local high school whose ath- letic teams score the greatest num- Der of victories in football, baseball and basketball; the winner named on a point system according to wins and losses. It was donated by local admirers of the late Al Nellie fine sports official, popular with all who knew him.

TRIPLE CHAMP IMPRESSIVE IN
 BOSTON DRILLS
Hits Harder Than Ever; Writes Verse for Recre=
 atiOn; Big GO Friday
BY JACK FROST United Press Staff Correspondent


 Boston, May 6. -- CUP) -- Henry Armstrong, the pugilistic poet who packs a sleep-inducing sonnet in either fist, faces untested Tommy Jessup at Boston Garden tomorrow night and anyone who thinks he's a palsied old man after 12 years in the right is slightly off the beam. Midway in his 30th year with three worlds crowns and nearly 150 fights behind him, Armstrong today is pound for pound probably the cagieSt, toughest and most danger ouS boxer in the game.
 Tn less than a year the little Los Angeles Negro has returned from the obscurity of defeated retirement to be named by the National Boxing Association as the logical No. 2 contender for the worlds welter- weight crown.
 Given a chance. says Hammerin Hank, and he'll hold that title again. It always was the favorite of the three he captured during his ring wars. It was the one he defended most often during career that saw him fight with title at stake 25 times.
 Tough Task
 It's been a long and arduous comeback road for the man who began fighting at IT after boyhood in St. Louis as a bootblack. When Armstrong left the ring in l94l af- ter a murderous pummeling at the hands of the then champion Fritzie Zivic he said he was through.
 His eyes, split dozen times dur ing hiS ring career, were so tender the lightest tap would open them. A dangerous operation and 18 months in the sun on his California ranch fixed that.
 But during that period he lolled around, piling on weight, complet- ing his book My Quest of Three Crowns and turning out futuristic verse. He'll still rhyme an iambic pentameter at the drop Of a water bucket.
 It was tough to make fighting weight without endangering Arm strongs health. But trainer Norman Saunders did it. One year to the day-almost to the second - after announcing his return from retire. ment, Hurricane Hank stepped through the ropes at Madison Square Garden.
 He had dropped from 166 to 138 pounds, was good and looked it throughout his fight with light weight champion Beau Jack, who won by running away.
 No Waste, Now
 As triple champion they called Armstrong the little perpetual mo- ton man" because of his steady hammering attack. Few would mo- tice any change in his style.
 T fight just like l always did he said after a sparkling workout for his 10 rounds with Jessup. T don't waste so many punches as l did one time. That's what comes with eX- perience. But otherwise-Im just as fast and strong as l ever was"
