Gibson Really 10 FiehI
This Time, Manager
.Stout|y Insists

Manager Norman Saunders is a
bit disturbed over the reception his
fighter, Terry Gibson, has received
from the fight fans-and also the
fight writers-in his two winning
matches here. Gibson beat Walter
Roane and Ernie Pelaia in bouts at
Turner's, but on neither occasion
was he greeted by great cheers.
Saunders hints, though, that things
may be different when Gibson goes
against Kid Willie tomorrow night
at Turner's.
Its all my fault" says Saunders.
Gibson is a really good fighter, but
he's one boy who takes orders from
his corner. He fought the kind of
fights'I told him to fight and maybe
the fans didn't like his style. just
didn't want him to take any chances
until he really got in shape, and
maybe I held him back too much y
Gibsons fight against Willie is
one of three eight-rounders tomor-
row night, and Saunders now is
ready to turn him loose, he says.
He can fight any style you want, "
claims Norman. He can be fancy
boxer-that's what he was the last
two times-or he can fight like
Henry Armstrong, or he can be a
plain slugger. He'll probably be do
ing some punching against Willie
and maybe everybody will like him
better"
Other eights on the card are Red
Gaddis against Henry Lassain and
Johnny Arduinf. against Lou NYor-
kers. The ,Gaddis- -Lassain bout may
be the big one. Red has come back
after a poor season last year to win
five straight eight-rounders at Tur-
ners.
Prelims are Johnny Handsberry
against Jerome Pratt for five rounds
and Al Harris against Angelo
Marino for four.

$3.50 for 81 in winning the $25, ,000-
added Excelsior Handicap OF

The Discovery-Br Elect horse
finished half a length ahead Of the
8-to-5 favorite, Double Jay. Stymie
the worlds leading money winner
that was making his 1948 debut, fin
ished third, three lengths farther
back.

Anita Derby in February, 1916. but
then failed in the '46 Derby and the
Preakness, was making his second
start Of the year after a long lay
off. He finished out Of the money
to Buzfuz, Owners Choice and Tavi-
stock in 6-furlong sprint here on
April 8.
It was different today. Given q
good ride by Jockey Ferrell zufelt

down the backstretch and around
the final bend, then withstood q
long stretch drive.
Double Jay, fifth at the break
forged into second place at the first
turn, and chased Knockdown all the
way home. Stymie, closer up than
usual down the backstretch, went
into third place coming into the
stretch, but lacked his customary
finishing kick.

betting, for fourth. Let's Dance, Tide

teenth was l:46.
