(Rcg. U. s. Pat, OH) By JACK CUDDY

Limited Press Stan COrcrspondent) New York, April i6-(UP)-Train- CT Don Cameron is positive that Count Fleet will be ready for the Wood Memorial at Jamaica, Satur. day, despite tho Counts secret in. jury in the St. James purse last Tuesday.
 But 1t is not quite SO certain that Slide Rule, w. E. Boeing's victor in last weeks experimental handi- cap, will be able to 90 to the post because of the recurrance of knee injury.
 If Slide Rule is out. 1t seems that there will be but five other starters in the Wood Memorial Bossuet, Quillon, Vincentive, Blue Swords and Towser.
 We know nothing about Count Fleets injury until we encountered Trainer Don Cameron on our way to tho mutual windows between the third and fourth races at Jamaica yesterday. ..
 We inquired of Big Don, "Will Count Fleet be ready for the Wood?"
 I'm positive he will be ready" Cameron said, "because hc is recov. erlng rapidly from last weeks in. jury in the St. James,"
 We inquired, taken aback, What injury was that?'
 FOreleg Cut
 Cameron snuggled his blue top. coat about himself and said, Count Fleet performed better than we ex- pected in the St. James-consider- ing the sloppy track, and the mile and 70 yards distance.
 But on the clubhouse turn, the Count was chopped on the left fore- leg by another horse-probably Joe Burger-ard won the race with a gash in his leg. That injury has received the best of treatment, and I can tell you now that the leg IS doing well-without any fiIl-ins."
 Was Trainer Cameron satisfied with Count Fleets performance in the St. James?
 T was more than satisfied" he replied. After all. the track was sloppy, and the weather was bad. He showed that he had the heart for a mile and 70 yards-the dis- tance of the race: and should have the heart for a mile and sixteenth for the wood Memorial, and mile and a quarter for the Kentucky Derby"
 Speed to Burn
 Cameron. who developed Mrs. John D. Hertzs colt of the hour. said he was confident that Count Fleet-as a three-year-old-would prove as superior to his contem- poraries as he did in '42.
 Trainer Cameron recalled. NO other juvenile ever ran as fast as the Count. He hung up Q world record as a two-year-old of 1:34 4-5 for the mile. He has sped to burn"

JERSEY BLOND .2 TO 1 FAvORTTE OVER NEGRO FOE
Big Boys Revive Boxing Interest in Chicago; Lee
 Guaranteed $IO,OOO
BY TOMMY DIVINE

United Press Staff Correspondent,
 Chicago, April le.-(uP)-Les savold, the Paterson, N. j., heavy. weight who lined his own pockets with gold and helped revive big time boxing in Chicago by de. veloplng Q knockout punch, at. tempts to continue hts fistie climb tonight when he opposes Lem Franklin oI Cleveland, O., in l0- round bout.
 Promoters Irving Schoenwald and Jack Begun predicted Q. crowd of l6,000 and Q gross gate of approxi- mately $40,000, If the gate hits this mark 1t will be the largest sum any fight card in Chicago hes drawn in two years.
 Savold established himself as b top drawing card here witho knock out victories over Nate Bolden and Franklin, He received 5000 and $6,600 respectively for those en. counters and then assumed @ hard. to-get" role when efforts first were made to yeniatch him with Franklin. The act was effective and the big blond receives Q flat guarantee of $lo,0o0 for tonieht's work. Franklin wlll get 20 per cent Of the net gate.
 This Is the third meeting of Sa. void and Franklin. Each owns Q vic- tory by the knockout route. Lem won the first encounter four years ago when he polished Savold off in two rounds. Lee avenged the de- feat last February l6 when he put tho dusky Clevelander on tho floor for the count in the 10th round.
 Lee Picked
 Savold rates as the 2 to 1 bet- ting favorite. The odds are based principally on the fact Lee took Franklin's Sunday punch" in theiv recent meeting when he was down for the six count in the first round and then weathered other early round punch storms to win.
 While Savold is attempting to pre- serve his newly acquired spot in the "big money" bracket, the fight is even more critical for Franklin. The Ohlan faces the possibility of being dropped back among the prelimin- ary boys if he loses. Only 0 dearth of heavyweight talent provides Lem this shot despite his extremely un- impressive record. Franklin has been knocked out in four of his last five starts. In addition to Savold, fighters who have stretched Frank lin out for the count are Bob Pas- tor in eight rounds, Harry Bobo in one round and Joe MuScato in one.
 Al (Bumrny) Davis, the rough New York welterweight who is in the midst of a comeback, unless Tommy James of Chicago and Tony Musto of Chicago faces his fellow townsman, Nate Bolden, in other io- bouts.

Terranova, Callura At
 Hartford, Tuesday


 Hartford, April l6.-phil Terran. ova. youngest of the Terranova brothers and the boy who fights Angelo Callura of Hamilton, Ont, hsre next Tuesday night, has but one immediate ambition.
 The Bronx boxer who faces NBA- title-holder Jackie Callura's brother in a ten-rounder at the Auditorium would like nothing better than Q championship belt presented him for taking the featherweight crown away from Willie Pep.
 The recent conQueror of Lulu Costantino has had about 25 pro fight and has lost but four of them on Split-decisions. On the smallish side, Phil is 0 calm and clever ring. man. a scientific boxer rather than a slugger. He reaches his opponents with sharp jahs to the face and hooks to the chin. Never backing off, he keeps coming In, throwing punches all the time and wearing down Q foe with short, choppy cloutS.
 Infighter
 ftes e terror in close, throwing jolting blows to the head and body, hooks, counter punches and upper cuts. A tireless scrapper blessed with speed and endurance, and nat ural fighting talent, Phil makes an excellent campaigrer.
 In five appearances in Madison Square Garden, the Bronx boxer looked mighty impressive in scoring victories over Frank Franconeri and Al Guido in his last two fights there. It was in the Franeoneri contest that Phil displayed real fistic prom iSe. Not only d.d Phil outbox his speedy opponent, but also punched him all over the ring.

NSSS~ SAS"S SessA SVsaSSPv"SShV
 New York, April l6-(UP)-The Kentucky Derby has had such a tang and appeal for America's turf men that from the time Aristides rolled down the pike" to victory in 1875 in the first derby, they often have entered horses in the rose run" just to see their colors up.
 Every once in e while one oi these forlorn hopes hammers under the wire In front. Milky Way Farms Gallahadlon did 1t in io4C when he drove through a heart- breaking final quarter to chop Bimelech, the king of the Bradley B's, in the first race he ever lost.
 This year again the usual quota of dark horses are going through q derby prep with the usual wild stories about amazing workouts and incredible clockings. Perhaps the most colorful of these and one that must be given e chance for the derby gold on his two-year-old record is Burnt Cork, Q son of MT. Bones, who races for radio and screen actor Eddie (Rochester) Anderson.
 He bought the colt for $400 as o yearling and last season ,as 0 two- year-old, Burnt Cork earned $i0,530.
 Dependable
 The most impressive thing about Una AyflapcNV NOik x1yoa hic akaa di |. ness. Tn 10 starts he won six, was second once and third twice.
 Burnt Cork did most of his rac- ing in the midwest. He started at Lincoln Fields in May and contin- ued through the Hawthorne meet ing in September. His best perform ance came in his second race when he outgamed the fleet Devils Thumb for Q half-length victory in Q six. furlong affair at Arlington Park.
 The son of MT. Bones was shipped to the west coast in the fall and in his lone start there he ripped six furlongs over the Bay Meadows track in 1:ll-smart timing for 8 juvenile at that course.
 He was one of the first on the derby scene this spring, arriving at Churchill Downs early in March. The Anderson youngster unques- tionably has speed and has showed it by some fast workouts over the Downs strip. He has yet to race this season but will make his first start soon.

"Greatly-increased demand for fresh
fruits and vegetables and the narrow
ing of the spread between farm and re-
til prices contributed to increasing the
income of our Mississippi farm sup
pliers by SO per cent from 1941 to 1942,"
Baum reported. Growers not only cash
ed in on higher prices but also on years
of work of efficient distributors. Every
cent saved in distribution has been
another step in increasing the income
of growers.
Growers today nave an opportunity
to build expanded, stable markets that
will endure in peactime if quality, grade
and pack standards are maintained in
sofar as wartime conditions permit; and
if growers and distributors work to-
gether even more closely to eliminate
unnecessary steps in marketing
Baum, praising Mississippi growers
for their efficient production of food
in 1912, reported that biggest purchases
his company made in the last year
was 256 carlots of tomatoes for S310 ,292
and 572 carIots of cabbage for S201 ,126.
