Cassis Lasts 10 Beat
Favored Star Copy
In Pimlico Sprint
Three Make GuudoIcunuI
Hot Roce; UnchoIIeneed
Finds Chuneking Easy
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, April 17.-P. M.
Burch's Cassis STAYED off a strong
bid by favored Star Copy today to
take one OF the two features for the
second day of Pimlico's 5-day war
relief meeting, while Mrs. Sidney
Zell's Unchallenged romped away
with the other main event.
A crowd of approximately 1900
persons, even larger than on open
ing day, turned out to watch Cassis
win the Guadalcanal Handicap and
Unchalenged the Chungking purse.
Both races were for $500, both were
for 3-year-olds and up and both
were run at six furlongs.
Most Of the patrons again were
on hand for the first race, which
went to the post at the early hour
OF noon. AS was the case yesterday.
most of them used street cars, de-
spite an Once of Price Administra-
tino ruling that automobiles might
be driven If only "A" ration gasoline
were used.
Strictly Three Horse Race.
Several hundred cars-including
those OF employes-were parked at
the track, and another several hun
dred were left on nearby streets.
The Guadalcanal strictly was a
three horse race. B. o. F. Ran
dolph's One Only took the lead at
the start, closely followed by H. P.
Metcalfs Star Copy and Cassis. That
trio soon pulled away from the
other two horses, with Cassis taking
the lead as they headed into the
far turn.
Jockey Eddie Weilander took the
pace-setter into a 2-length lead as
they entered the stretch, but Star
Copy made a strong bid to finish
only three parts of a length of
Cassis, a son Of Bull Dog.
The winner covered the 6 fur
longs in 1888 over a sloppy track
and paid s5.lo, 1910 and $40 across
the board.
Easy for Unchallenged.
Unchallenged had an easy time
OF it in the co-featured Chungking,
taking the lead shortly after the
start and gradually increasing his
margin throughout, covering the 6
furlongs in 1:13.
At the finish, Unchallenged held
7-length margin over Ella K. Bry-
sons Mercury. which in turn was
half a length ahead Of ]. w. Y. Mar
tins favored Abrasion.
The winner paid $3.50, $500 and
$3.50 for 81 at the mutuels.
The crowd poured $472,210 through
the mutuel windows, as compared
with $429,527 yesterday.

nished little clue to the merits OF
any of the teams. They decided
to stay north of the Potomac and
Ohio Rivers in order to relieve
strained transportation facilities and
most Of the clubs have succeeded in
getting their players into satisfac-
tory playing shape. However, there
has been little opportunity for the
sort of preseason competition which
has enabled managers and fans to
get a line of the strength of the
various clubs.
Also to save transportation the
two leagues have reduced their in
tersectional trips between the East
and West to three instead Of four.
This means that home stands will
be longer and road trips will be
longer and more gruelling. In the
National League, where the race
may be so tight that little things
will count big, the schedule favors
the Dodgers in the spring and the
Cardinals In September, when the
champions will be at home most
Of the month.
New Ball Is Puzzle.
Another unknown factor in the
races is q new official ball which
Is being made with a substance
called balata, used in golf balls,
and which is supposed to make
this years pellet more lively than
that Of last year. Whether this
will make up in any way for the
good hitters who have gone to war
remains to be seen.
There have been a few man.
agerial changes since the season
closed. Bucky Harris, veteran
American League pilot resigned at
Washington and took charge of the
Philadelphia Phillies in the Ma
tional League for their new owner,
william D. Cox; Ossie Bluege, an
old fAvorite in the Capital. replaced
Harris at the helm of the Mats and
Steve O'Neill succeeded Del Baker
with the Detroit Tigers.
All in all, the major leagues are
ready to continue with a reasonably
good replica of peacetime baseball
and the chances are that when the
fans jam into the ball parks to
whoop and holler for their favor
ties they will find something to
WhoOp and holler about.

which could not be profltably set
up unless large number of auto
mobiles were equipped to burn illu-
minating gas.
The most promising substitutes,
therefore, Mr.. Cummings said, are
wood, coal, coke and charcoal. The
American Chemical Society was told
about year ago that development
of wood-burning engines in Ger
many had reached a point OF effi-
cheney close to that of the Diesel
engine.
To make an engine work ef1i-
clently, complicated system OF
filters and cleaners must be in
stalled to separate ashes and par
tlcleS from the gaseous by-product.
The carburetor must be replaced
with mixing valve which will
blend the gas with the proper pro-
portion of air The violent reaction
which occurs in the cylinders pro-
duces the same result as that OBJ
tanned by using vaporized gasoline.
Filters Prevent Damage.
Mr.. Cummings explained that if
the gases produced are properly fil-
tered. the automobile engine suf-
fers no more than 1t does when
burning gasoline.
In Germany and France. at least,
he said, roadside stations have been
set up to provide wood or similar
combustible products for trucks and
automobiles.
Mr.. Cummings also pointed out
that in France, at least, and prob.
Evening star., 1943-06-04

ably In Italy, Germany and Russia,
the Use Of such substitute fuels was
supported by subsidies in the form
Of remitted taxes on automobiles.
Mr.. Cummings pointed out Amer
ican motorists probably would not
be able to get the conversion ma
terials, all of which are made from
essential metals. But, he said, the
work that Is being done in this d.
rection will not be wasted, since the
studies may prove Of value to coun-
tries without oil resources. If We
hicles in these countries, he said,
could be built originally to use
whatever substitute product is fairly
abundant, they would not need to
rely on expensive imports.
