NEW YORK, May 4.-Those
owners whose horses ducked Cita-
ton and Coaltown in the Ken
lucky Derby to await the Freak
ness and Belmont Stakes have
found little room for comfort the
last few days.
This seems to be the general
attitude:
If My Request was the stand
out Derby threat of the East and
couldn't get close to Citation and
Coaltown, how are our stay-at-
homes going to fare against the
Calumet one-two punch?"
The PreaknesS Is two Satur-
days away and the Belmont is
slated June II. That gives own-
ers of rival 3-year-olds plenty
of time to decide.
Ben Whitaker's My Request,
the Wood Memorial hero who
was unbeaten this year until he
ran up against the Calumet
twins at Louisville, Is expected to
try again.

Horse Found Drugged,
Former Rider Faces
Grand Jury Action
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, May 4.-The New
York Jockey Club today entered the
case of Earl Sande, one-time famous
jockey and now horse owner and
trainer, who faces Federal grand
jury action on a charge of illegal
possession of narcotics.
Stewards of the club were sched-
uled to meet today to study the
case. in which Sande is specifically
charged with failing to register the
fact that he possessed morphine
and with failure to pay q special
tax on it.
The charge was made. United
States Attorney j. Vincent Keogh
said, after one of Sande's horses
was found to have been drugged
when it won a race at Jamaica
April 81. Keogh said traces of a
drug were found in the horse, Big
Stage, when routine saliva test
was made after Big State won the
third race at Jamaica that day.
Horse Won 6-Furlong Dash.
Keogh said Sande declared he
had ordered the horse treated with
q caffein derivative before a work
out. When the extract was turned
over to agents of the Narcotics Bu-
reau of the Treasury Department,
it was found to contain morphine,
Keogh added.
Big Stage, one Of IL borses, being
trained by Sande, defeated 10 other
runners in the 6-furlong dash for
maiden 3-year-olds and paid t12 40
for So.

PHILADELPHIA, May A.
Philadelphia's American League
entry came home today in Sec
ond place-but Connie Mack
wishes the AS could finish the
season on the road.
The train of thought behind
that wish is reasonable enough
the AS haven't lost a game this
season away from the home
stamping ground.
And. on the other hand, the
Mackmen haven't been doing so
well in Shibe Park, winning one
game in six starts.
The Athletics opened the 194s
campaign at Boston by taking a
three-game series and breezed in
for the first home stand Of the
year in top spot in the junior
circuit.
That home stand turned out to
be nightmare for Mr.. Mack and
the AS strategy board. The
Mackmen managed to salvage
only II one game from = four
game series with Washington and

lost one to Boston and another
to New York.
That put the AS back down in
fourth place in the league with
four wins and five losses.
AS soon as the team took to
the road, however, things began
to pick up again. In a four
game stand at Washington the
AS won three straight from the
Mats and were well on their way
to No. when the second game
of a twin bill was rained out
with the Athletics leading, 81,
in the second inning.
The AS returned to Philadel-
phia today for a nine-game
stand, starting against Cleveland.
Unless the trend changes the
AS might slip out of Shibe Park
on May IL in last place.
Meanwhile, however, Mack
took steps to obtain a hard-hit-
ting addition to the AS outfield
combination.
These steps repeatedly included
an offer of $50, 900 to Cleveland
for Henry Hank Edwards, an
unsuccessful dicker with the New
