K|eberg Colt Heading
For Tuf's Richest
Race at PimIico
BY John F. Chandler
Assoeioied Press Sports Writer

BALTIMORE, May 6.-Pimlico
and the historic Preakness Stakes
moved front and center on the
worlds racing stage today as As
sault and others from the Ken
lucky Derby field headed for Balti-
more and share of what is ex-
pected to be the richest purse in
turf history.
Robert j. Kleberg's Assault un-
doubtedly will 60 postward the IA
vorite in Saturdays 100000
mile and three-sixteenths run for
the black-eyed Susans after his
smashing eight-lengths triumph in
the Derby. Yet the weather and
track and possibly a big Preakness
field of IA other horses may knock
the best of predictions askew.
Maryland Jockey Club officials,
preparing for what may be a record
throng and almost certainly a new
all-time gross racing cash handout,
listed IS possible starters. Only nine
need to answer the bugle call to
shove the purse to almost $4,000,
which would surpass the $137,900
gross dor a single race dished out in
the Santa Anita Handicap this
spring.
Spy Song Ineligible.
Assault was expected to arrive
from Louisville with Trainer Max
Hirsch tomorrow, along with the
Maryland contender, Bobanet
Stables Marine Victory; R, S. Nc
Laughlin's Wee Admiral, and A. c.
Ernst's Alamond.
Due at Old Hilltop today from
his third in the Derby was William
Dupont, jr.'s Hampden.
The Maine Chance pair of Lord
Boswell and Knockdown, still a
mighty threat to Assaults ambitions
for Preakness gold and glory, won't
arrive until Wednesday.
1t was reported that Wee Admiral
suffered a cut on the right foreleg,
and that Knockdown had both hind
legs cut in the Derby scramble, but
whether this would prevent their
appearance Saturday was not
known.
Spy Song, the pride of Dixiana
Stable which hung on to take sec
ond Derby money, isn't eligible for
the Preakness. However, there are
several others who weren't around
Louisville last Saturday to fill in
the gaps.
Other Possible Starters.
These include Mrs. Walter M. JEFF
fords' Natchez, which has been
pointed for the Preakness; Cedar
Farms Lovemenow, E. P. Taylor's
Windfields, Bomar Stables Billy
Bumps and Wheatley Stables Mis-
leader, victor in the Van Wyck
Purse for 3-year-olds at Jamaica
Saturday.
There is some doubt about Will
liam Helis' Rippey, tenth in the
Derby. and slated to leave Louisville
Wednesday, but his stablemate
Phidias may come down from New
York. Another possibility from New
York is Mrs. George D. Widener's
Outotheblue. third in the mile-and-
a-SiXteenth Van Wyck.

happy to cooperate with American
authorities.
In Cincinnati, Rennie accompany
ing the New York Giants on the
road, denied being an agent for the
Mexican League. The veteran sports
writer went to Mexico last month on
the orders of his paper, to write a
series of articles on the Mexican

Ober to Sue MacPhail.
Ralph Ober of New York. who
identified himself as a part time
attorney, sports columnist and jour-
nalism teacher. said today he was
the John Ohrbar' named by New
York Yankee President Larry Mac
Phail as an agent for the Mexican
BASEBALL league.
Ober said he attended a press con-
ference held by Bernardo Pasquel
vice president of the league, last
Friday night strictly as a friend
of long standing and in order to
gather material for my sports
column.
Il have never approached any
American baseball player he con-
tinued. "and feel my character has

I already have been in touch with
my lawyer and plan court action

Indian Spring and Baltimore's
Rolling Road Club either have met
each other or supplied both teams
in four previous final matches in
the Maryland State Golf Associa-
tons two-man team championship
and after yesterdays first-round
play it's safe to say that Indian
Spring, at least, has no intention
of breaking the streak.
The Four Corners Club sent two
par-busting twosomes out after the
1946 title, the first event of its kind
since 1941, and the supposedly No
2 tandem of Eddie Ault and Lou
Harrison, the Government champ
outdid the favored top team OF
Roger Peacock and Volney Burnett
Ault and Harrison posted best ball
SO at Prince Georges to rout Wood
holmes E. A Pleet and M. A
Behrend, 6 and 4.
Peacock and Burnett Pressed.
Peacock and Burnett had Their
hands full at Baltimore but finally
started clicking on the 18th hole
of the Woodholme course when
Peacock dropped birdie putt ano
Burnett followed with a long one
for a deuce on the 18th. They
went on to beat the host clubs A
London and Milton Caplan, and
Meanwhile both Rolling Road teams
also advanced, one via a bye.
The first Maryland 1our-ball fina
in 1888 was an all-Indian Spring
affair with Buddy Sharkey ane
Arthur Urban beating Elliot Spice1
and Roy Sasscer. The following
year Spencer Overton and E. G
Barnes won an all-Rolling Roae
match. In 1910 Peacock and Claude
Rippy beat Overton and Barnes ane
the next year Overton and Barne!
won over Peacock and Rippy.

By Sid FEEDER

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 6.-They
have been saying for a long time

lingering doubt about it. take a look
at the Texas kid with the Brooklyn

out of the Preakness at Pimlico
Saturday on top of the roses he won
so easily in the Derby, he'll be doing
just what his daddy did decade
ago.
His daddy, Bold Venture, won the
Derby and they said he was lucky.
Bold Venture won the Preakness,
too, but just when it looked as if he
might go on winning, he broke
down and had to retire Robert J.
Kleberg, owner of King Ranch in
Texas. paid. $4,000 for him as a
stud horse.
Meantime. filly whose father
was the great Equipoise, was born
on King Ranch in 1887. She was
called Igual. But she was SO puny
and sickly she was saved only by an
operation. She never could race,
though, so she was put among the
| brood mares.
| Her third child, by Bold Venture,
was Assault. When year old, As
sault hurt his right front foot. The
doctors said he'd never recover. But
the stable hands called in another
vet. He cut the hoof almost en-
tirely away and Assault recovered.
Last Saturday as an 8-to-1- shot,
/ he set off stick of dynamite at
Churchill Downs and waltzed home
by eight lengths. In bouncing to
the wire by the greatest Derby
margin since Whirlaway. Assault
became the horse to beat in the
