Jack Kramer, winning his fourth

by Johnny Berardino and Walt

Hitler, pulled the Browns up even.
AL Zarilla's single in the seventh,
with the bases full, sent in the de-

Lefty Jake Wade. It was Killers

He's changed the lineup, revised the batting order,

Wilmington in last place, it gives US even more reason
to want to support EN-.

until he was ten lengths away
from the pace while Natchez was
burning up til race track up
ahead.
After a mile, though, Jockey
Warren Mehrtens put the big ques-
ton to the galloping grandson of
Equipoise, and Assault had the
answer. He left Lord Boswell,
went past War Watch and closed in
on the pacemakers. Rounding the
turn, Mehrtens-the only touch of
Brooklyn in what is otherwise an
entire Texas production in AS
sault's background-flicked him
once with the bat and that did it.
Setting off his fireworks, he ran
over the leaders and came swing
ing in 2.30 As for the mile and a
half.
Hanging on the wire there was
SIT, 400-a $75, 400 pay check for the
win and $1,000 more to the winning
nominator, who in this case was
his owner Robert j. Kleberg, Jr.,
head man of the spacious king
ranch where Assault was born and
brought up to run like a combina-
ton Texas %jackrabbit and four
motored plane.
