Suffolk Sale May Bring
 5000, 900
By JACK FROST
ited Press Sports Writer

OA1UCW 1kSDO OPVE US VvAAUOk
 Boston, May 1-(UP)-For the first time in American turf history, a major race track will be. .auctioned off today with upwards of $2,000,- 600 expected to be offered for lucra- tive Suffolk Downs in East Boston.
 On the block will be 14,901 shares of stock in the Eastern Racing AS- sociation, Inc. At least four separ- ate groups are scheduled to be on hand at the Copley Plaza when the bidding gets underway.
 Leading the field of prospective buyers is William A. (BilD Kyne, general manager of the famed Bay Meadows race course at San Mateo, Cal, who allegedly is willing to pay $3, 3,000, 900 for the stock.
 Sale Goes On
 A New York group of IT men who have waged desperate legal fight to prevent the sale at this time, will enter their offer.
 Former Boston Police Commis- sioner Joseph F. Timility reported ly will represent this group at the bidding. If successful, Timility may direct the track.
 Lou Smith, owner of Little Rock ingham Park in Salem, N. H., will be joined by friends in move to transfer his affections to the Bay State. His group already has of- fered $1,5OO,OO0 for the stock.
 A bid of $1,300,O00 has been made by syndicate headed by Harry Simberg, operator of an ice cream manufacturing concern known as Simco Trading Co, Inc.
 The auction was ordered when the Aldred Investment Trust of Boston, present holder of the stock. was declared insolvent. Despite contention of a New York group that the trust now was solvent, Federal Judge George c. Sweeney ordered the auction to proceed and the first circuit court of appeals up- held him.
 Conditions
 Judge Sweeney has said that If all goes according to schedule. the results of the auction will be ap- proved by him no later than Friday.
 Tn order to make bid a certified check for $l00,0OO must be deposited at the time of the auction. If suc- cessful a bidder must leave another certified check for $250,000 before leaving the room with the remaind- CT of the purchase price to be set- tied later.

last frame, the Crosby infield and outfield, got behind Hansen, and kept the Torrington batters pretty much under their thu1ab for the duration of the route.
 In The Clutch
 In the last of the ninth inning, Bernie Lawlor, the first man to face Mazaik in this frame, tilted his hat, locked his war club and slammed the ball for extra bases to the amazement of the Torring- ton battery. Gene Gilhooly, the next batter to step in the box, re- alizing that he was to be the hero or the goat of this ball game, fixed his stance and got hold of the ball for a possible home run, which scored Lawlor with the winning tally. Because of the fact that only 8 single was needed to score the runner, Giihooly's bingle will be officially scored in the book as 8 single. But nobody can say that Gilhooly, Lawlor and Hansen aren't Waterbury's triple threat, in scho- laStic baseball. The score:

Today's Sport Parade

Farm owned by Col. E. R. Bradley. That's the spread which sent Be- have Yourself, Burgoo King and Brokers Tip out to take the Amer ican beauties.
 He was a good horse," Gentry asserted, but who did he beat?"
 To which Longden replied
 "Who did Joe Louis ever beat?"
 The Enghsh-born Longden, who will ride Dixiana Farms Spy Song on Saturday when they go for the big pot of gold at Churchill Downs and has won more races than any other rider on the American turf, has something there.
 Hurt In Belmont
 For Count Fleet never was out of the money, as a two-year-old in 1922 winning 10 of IS and taking four seconds and one third. But he hit his real peak as a three-year-old, winning the triple crown and be- coming the first horse in racing his- tory to add the wood and withers. In addition to that, the laughing chestnut gathered in one overnight allowance triumph for a finishing season mark of six out of six. The tragedy came in the Belmont Stakes his final run, when he won by 100 gaping lengths-and suffered leg injury that caused his retirement to stud.
 There is no doubt in my mind that Count Fleet was the greatest race horse we ever had" Longden held.
 Johnny has point therefor he rode Whirlaway, the leading money winner of the turf, and Busher, the horse of the year in 1945.
 He could have cracked every record in the books if I'd ever let him out" Longden asserted. But I always had a double wrap on him.
 Count Fleet could have run of and hidden from Whirlaway. Sure Whirly had a lot of last quarter speed, but he'd have been so far be- hind by the time they reached that last quarter that he'd never have gotten within hailing distance"
 Gentry's contention that Count Fleet didn't quite make the great" grade also takes in the factor thata this colt was beaten as two-year- old.
 That proved he wasn't invin- cible," Gentry said.
 Well" Lcngden replies, "Schnea- ing knocked out Louis too"
 Never having run in the handicap division as a four-year-old because of that Belmont injury, there's no real way of telling just how great Count Fleet was. But it's cinch he was quite a piece of hoss flesh and that there isn't anything in the Derby this year that could touch him.

Harness-Horse Lingo

A couple of weeks back, there appeared in this department, a number of expressions and their meaning, used 'by harness-horse- men and handlers of the trotters and pacerS throughout the coun- try, particularly on the Grand Circuit. A $4O0,O00 distribution of stake and purse money has been listed for the April 16 through May meet sponsored at Arcadia, California, at Santa Anita park; now in progress, which amount represents 8 worlds record for prize money in the 9 with sulky sport.
 Because of some local interest among the "old timers" in and near Waterbury who would rath- CT see good sullky race than the Kentucky Derby next Saturday at Churchill Downs; here are @ few more of the harness-horse ex- pressions and accompanying ex- plantations:
 TOE WEIGHTS-These are brass weights, about the size of a haN- dollar, and weight from one to four hoofs. They are used to improve the gait of horses.
 CHECK REEN-This is the part of the horses harness ounces, and are placed on the point of a hores's front that is used to "set a horses head at a certain angle" Some horses will race better with their heads checked up a little higher than others, while some horses want to race low-headed.
 HAND HOLTS-These are just a loop of the reins, attached at a favorable spot according to the driv- CTS Judgment. They afford the driv- CT more leverage on the reins and greater control in event the horse becomes unruly. Every driver em- ploys this necessary equipment.
 SULKY-The sulky is the main part of drivers equipment, for that is what he rides when driving a race. They weigh from 19 to 35 pounds, and can be pulled with the little finger. The width at the wheels run from 48 to 56 inches.
 SHIN BOOTS-These are leather pads of protection that are worn front and back so that a horse will not cut himself when travelling at speed.
 ELBOW BOOTS-A few trotters have to wear elbow boots, which are placed at the top back part of the front leg, up close to the horses body. These are used on trotters that have front action, and with out these elbow boots they would hit themselves on their elbows.

However. here's another one cred- tied to major-leaguer Joe Rue, man in blue" who was being heck led for the better part of two hours one nice afternoon. Almost every decision, even on balls and strikes, called by Rue, behind the plate, was disagreed with by a brass voiced fan. Finally, the ump an- nounced several substitutions, as loudly as he could under the cir- cumstances of the heckler's compet- ition. Who's the umpire?" demand ed the fan Gas if he didn't know) giving Joe Rue the chance to come back with this retort supreme: You are, but I'M GETTING PAID FOR IT."

(Reg. U. S. Patent OARce)

Louisville, Ky, May - (UP) - A difference of opinion is what makes a horse race and, as they come up to the 72nd running of the Kentucky Derby, a leading trainer and a leading jockey are sharply divided on the merits of a horse who won't even run-a pretty fair country galloper called Count Fleet.
 The jockey is Johnny Longden, the wizened-featured little jock who rode the Count to the triple crown, the Derby, Belmont and Preakness, as the hammer colt went through his three-year-old and final year unbeaten. He calls the Fleet the greatest of them all."
 Objecting to this is Orin Gentry, trainer for the famed Idle Hour
