Calumet Pair Battling
5tymie al Jamaica
By the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, May 15.-Son Jim
my is in Baltimore with Citation
for the Preakness. That leaves 1t
up to Father Ben Jones to whip
Stymie with Fervent and Faultless
in the 5000 Gallant Fox Handicap
as Jamaica ends its meeting today
Canny Ben, trainer for the famed
Calumet farm, saddled Citation for
the Kentucky Derby at Churchill
Downs two weeks ago and is hope
full of making his first New. York
appearance of the season a sue
cessful one.

a week ago to shoot at. In the Dixie
at Pimlico Stymie, the worlds lead
ing money-winning horse with
S823,560, finished second to Fervent
after Faultless helped set the early
pace.

again although today there is a
shift of weights. Stymie is top
weighted at 126 pounds, compared
to the 1877 he lugged in the Dixie.
Fervent picks up 4 pounds to 1875
from 121. Faultless, last years
Preakness winner, will pack lib to
his Dixie 1T.
Ten others Of the best handicap
horses in training also have been

Fair Weather, Sloppy
Track Prevail Today
For Turf Classic
By George Bowen


BALTIMORE, May 49, There's
no use kidding, the 72d running of
the Preakness stakes at Pimlico to-
day Is going to find Citation home
first or the records will have one OF
the greatest upsets in turf history.
The Calumet Farm colt rates SO
far above the other three contenders
that any one who bets against him
can be classified only as either a
terrific gambler or sentimentalist.
The trio containing upsets in their
legs are Bovard, Vulcan's Forge and
Better Self.
The betting, incidentally, Is all or
nothing. The Maryland Racing
Commission agreed with Pimlico
that Citation is such sure thing"
that anything but straight betting
would produce a terrific minus pool,
costly to both the track and the
State. From $4,000 to 10000 fans
are expected to witness the mile and
three-sixteenths classic.
Anything Can Happen.
You can 60 down the line with
fans on hand for the second OF the
turf's 3-year-old classics and the
only way they can see anything but
a win for citation Is in the refuge
that anything can happen IN a
horse race" .
Even Jimmy Jones, trainer OF
Citation, is in q jubilant mood and
obviously counting his second Freak
ness winner before 1t Is saddled.
Jones saddled Faultless in last years
Preakness and took home the biggest
purse in it's history, 500, 005.
Today's race won't be worth as
much. but still is nothing to sneeze
at Citation and Bovard. whose
owners had to put up $4,000 to
make them supplementary entries,
will net s$91 ,870 and Better Sell OF
Vulean's Forge s94,735 by winning.
Even a sloppy track which nkeiy
will prevail doesn't help the outlook
for Citations opposition. He won
the Kentucky Derby in slop and
Trainer Jones doesn't expect the
turf to be as bad as it was last year
when Citation won the Pin1lico Flu
turity. :,
In substance, the Calumet colt
comes up to the race with every
thing. He's won Is out Of II starts
for earnings of 1881 $3.50. His wins
have been over good tracks, slow
tracks and muddy tracks.
He proved himself so good In the
Derby that none of his opponents
dared come back in the Preakness.
The field of four is the smallest
since Count Fleet met and defeated
the same number Of opponents In
1943. Count Fleet paid only $3.50
for 50 and Citation is expected to
return 10 cents less-because 1t Is
required.
You have to 60 all the way back
to 1898 to find another Preakness
field this small. which gives you an
idea of how good Citation stacks up.
The amazing dominance Of the
Calumet colt is reflected all over
this horse racing-conscious city. Talk
is at a minimum and the usual
Preakness eve Is noticeably absent,
virtually every sone agreeing. "Well,
might bet one Of the others just
as a gamble"
Baltimore hotels are packed and
reserved seats at the track were sold
out in January. But 1t is far
fetched guess when any one even
offers a reason for Citations possible
defeat
Sentiment for BOvard.
Sylvester w. Labrot jr.'s Bovard
is getting some sentimental support

Johns Hopkins Leads
Mason-Dixon Track
Games QuaIifiers

Johns Hopkins, premeet favorite
to win the Mason-Dixon Confer
ence track crown, was out In front
of the field today as it headed into
the home stretch of the annual two
day title meet at Catholic Univer-
sity Stadium.
The Blue Jays qualified 10 men
in 10 events run off yesterday after
a delayed start on a rain-soaked
track. And while Catholic u, the
defending champion, and Randolph
Macon were giving the Blue Jays a
battle they didn't seem to have
enough balance to stop them.
Cardinals Start Well.
The Cardinals got off to a good
start, however, when Sal Console
hurled the discus 131 feet 3l4 inches
for a new conference record. He
bettered the mark of 100 feet 1917
inches made by Rosenthal of Johns
Hopkins in 194l. The throw was
expected to withstand all assaults
today for Herbert Bodkin Of Bridge
water was second in Yesterdays pre-
liminaries With 'i22 feet sA inches.
Biggest disappointment of the
opening card was Gene Woods
elimination in the 220-yard low
hurdles. The Lynchburg flyer, whose
best time of 24.9 seconds is one
tenth second under the conference
record, had a 10-yard lead in his
trial heat going to the last barrier.
At that point he looked over his
shoulder for a glimpse at his pur-
suers, hit the hurdle and fell. He
couldn't regain his feet in time to
even finish the rage.
Les Chewing Of Hampden-Syd-
ney, was eliminated in the 220-yard
dash and seems headed for more
trouble in today's 100 finale. De-
Tending Champion Al Nencioni's
time OF 1912 over the heavy track
was the best time yesterday, and his
22.8 in qualifying for the 220-yard
dash indicated that the American
u. ace had a good chance of scoring
a double today.
Roanoke's Smith Capable.
Alvin Smith of Roanoke seemed
to be more than a match for his $780,
yard rivals today, after walking
home ahead of Catholics Harry
Donoghue in his heat. Smith was
clicked in 2:O6.5 and had slowed to
a dog trot at the finish. Larry
Brandenberg of Washington College
made a strong finish to nip Rod
Jackson Of c. U. in their heat, and
took on new stature as the dark
horse of the event. Smith, however,
seemed to have too much speed for
his competitors today.
-Four events, the mile, 2-mile, high
Jump and pole vault will be added
to today's card, which will begin
promptly at pm. although staged
at Catholic u, the meet is sponsored
by American University this year.
Admission to the finals is go cents.

HeraId-Tribune's Policies
Make Sports Editor Quit

NEW YORK, May 15.-The New
York Herald Tribune has announced
that Robert Cooke is succeeding
Stanley Woodward as sports editor.
Cooke was graduated from Yale
In 1886 and joined the Herald
Tribune in 1887. He served in the
Army 81 years, mostly as a pilot
of a B-26. He has specialized in
baseball coverage. At Yale he won
three letters in hockey and also
played baseball.
Woodward has been with the
Herald Tribune for 18 years, 10 as
sports editor. In 1914 and 1S45 he
served as war correspondent.
IT am sorry to leave" said Wood
ward, but I just could not go along
with present policies.
Prior to coming with the Herald
Tribune, Woodward worked on the
Boston Herald and the Worcester
(Mass), Telegram and Gazette.
Woodward said he had no i'm
mediate plans. He is former presi-
dent Of the Football Writer'S Asso-
citation of America, one Of the best
known newspaper figures in sports
and recognized as an authority on
football.

because he is a Maryland bred. But
even Trainer Jimmy Rowan admits
that while his horse is good, he
doesn't know if he Is good enough"
to catch Citation.
The same Bovard failed to catch
Citation in the Chesapeake Stakes
in April in a mile and a sixteenth
race. Today's Preakness is two
sixteenths farther. but Citation had
to go a mile and quarter to win
the Derby so there's no excuse there.
Anyhow. it looks as if it would be
much fairer to run the Preakness in
two divisions as some wit suggested.
Citation in one and the other three
horses in the second.
Even Trainer Jones remarked as
he heard loud report while enter
ing Citation yesterday:
Probably they'll have to shoot
him to beat him."

Eastern CIinches Spot
In High PIayof, Five
Fight for ; Berths
High School Standings

The mad scramble for playoff
berths in the District public high
baseball championships comes to a
dramatic climax Monday and Tues
day when the final seven games OF
the regular series will be held.
Eastern. 60 winner over Western
in the only tilt played yesterday. is
resting comfortably in first place
with six victories in as many series
games. Tech and Wilson are dead
locked at second and meet Monday
in a game rained out yesterday.
Mechanically, one of these two
teams could tie Eastern for the top
spot, but that isn't probable. The
Ramblers have only one game re-
manning, that with Tech on the
Tech diamond Tuesday.
Coolidge After Playoff Spot.
Coolidge plays at Central Monday
and Roosevelt at Anacostia In other
tits postponed from yesterday. Vic
tory over the Vikings would give the
Colts a tie with the loser of the
Tech Wilson game for fourth place.
Coolidge, Anacostia and Central
all have chances to break into the
double knockout tournament which
begins May "a at Griffith Stadium.
Roosevelt lost its first five games
and is out Of contention. Western
also is out after its loss to Eastern
yesterday.
Shortstop Bill Kallas again led
Eastern's attack, batting in flve
runs with a homer and q triple.
The home run came with two on
in the first inning and the triple
with two on in the sixth.
Tobiason Stars on Hill.
Kallas shared honors with Ralph
Tobiason. who relieved Starting
Hurler Joe Graves In the second
with the bases full and none out.
The right-hander pitched one-hit
ball the remainder Of the way.
Two nonseries games were squeezed
in yesterday. Charley Garrett
pitched three-hit ball as George
town Prep trounced st. Anthony's.
lo=1.. Tim Boyer led the Little Hoyas
at the BAT With a double and two
singles. Warren Derrick's two dou-
bles and Bob Stablers triple helped
Sherwood to a 1913 victory over
National Training School at Sandy
Spring.
