Count Fleet Eligible
For Preakness as

PimIico Leaders Shoky
Over Attendance as
20-Doy Meet Opens
BY DONALD SANDERS,
Associat ted Press Sports Writer.

BALTIMORE, April 16.-Count
Fleet was eligible today to start in
the SD running of the 50,000-
added Preakness Stakes, climactic
feature Of the closing program Of
a 20-day race meeting which opens
at the Pimlico race course today.
Maryland Jockey Club officials
announced that the Counts owner,
Mrs. John D. Hertz of Chicago, had
paid the 81, 500 fee required to make
the speedy son of Reign Count
eligible for the second leg Of the
traditional triple crown race classics
for 3-year -olds.
Wasn't Named Originally.
The Count. shortest-priced win
ter book favorite for the Kentucky
Derby on record, was not among
the - colts originally named for
the Preakness, which will be run
May 8.
He was made Z supplementary
starter sometime before the dead
line last midnight.
Meanwhile, Pimlico officials anx-
1ously watched today's crowd and
mutuel handle for some indication
Of the success or failure of the 90
day spring meeting, which is the
only racing Maryland will see this
season.
Races Start At Noon.
For the first time In the memory
OF veteran racesoers, the first post
daily was scheduled for noon, m
advance which meant most patrons
would have to leave their homes or
offices in midmorning If they wished
to see the entire card.
The post time was advanced to
enable the racing crowds to leave
the track before the usual late
afternoon streetcar rush starts.
Most fans were forced to rely on
trolley service, despite q State OPA
ruling which held that autos might
be driven to the track If only A.
ration gasoline was used.
The Pimlico barns were filled and
today's co-feature, both 6-furlong
dashes for 3-year-olds, each drew
six starters. The proceeds of to-
days program, rs well as the four
which will follow, will be contrib
uted to the national war fund.

Now 1t is no longer necessary to

Every one instead wants to know the
best flies and lures to use, and why
they sometimes fail to hook a. fish

The answer lies in the action and
not so much in the lure. Right now
the fish are deep and the smallest
OF drones or "chum" spoons must be
allowed to sink and then be retrieved
slowly. Hardly any two work alike
Because there are few to be found
anywhere, fishermen are trying any
and every sort of lure, and meeting
with both success and failure. Try
letting the lure down until the right
level is found and there should be no
further trouble.
It is well toward evening before

they are up. any white or white and

ministration on announcement thai
further restrictions on the amount
OF gasoline available to yachtsmer
in the East this summer would be
forthcoming.
The announcement came as q
blow to local yachtsmen who are in
the midst Of fitting-out operations
work they began last month with
OPA assurance that boatmen would
receive a maximum Of 125 gallons
for a three month period.
The American Power Boat Asso-
citation, with headquarters here, has
placed all its member clubs In the
Eastern area on notice Of the con-
templated change and It's ofhcials
are planning to appeal to both Price
Administrator Prentiss Brown and
high authorities at Coast Guard
headquarters here for reconsidera-
ton.
An authoritative source has re-
ported that OPA has left the final
decision on the cut to the Coast
Guard.
Motorists Objections Blamed.
According to the best information
available, the proposed slash Is be-
lieved to be based not so much on
the low gasoline stocks in the ra-
toned East but on the fact that
motorists have protested to OPA
that they are restricted in pleasure
driving while yachtsmen may pleas
ure cruise.
Several prominent yachtsmen
point out that the ration permitted
owners up to the present time is
not sufficient to result in unbridled
cruising OF the Potomac. At most,
the ration serves as an inducement
to place their craft in commission in
preparation for the time when ma
ior emergency might develop and
their craft may be needed.
At the Capital Yacht Clubs
monthly meeting Tuesday night, 1t
was pointed out that the armed
services might stand to lose q
potential group Of youngsters who
ordinarily would receive experience
In small boat handling. This would
be eliminated II gas supplies are cut

Might Cut Tax Stamp Sale.
The OPA announcement stipulat-
ed that members Of the Coast Guard
Auxiliary would continue to receive
the 125-gallon maximum, based on
two gallons per horsepower of en-
Eines. The number of auxiliaries in
proportion to the overall boating
popula ton Is small. however.
Loss of revenue from the Federal
use tax has been cited as another
reason for the authorities to re-
consider their stand Many yachts
men will not place their craft in op-
Grafton and accordingly will not
wish to buy the tax stamp this sea-
son.
One marine supply house pointed
out that thousands Of dollars al
ready have been invested by owners
In paints, supplies and railway
charges in hitting out. An official of
this concern estimated that some
5000 had been invested by local
yachtsmen through purchases in his
establishment.
