Tuck Wheeldon Resigns From City Council

W. J. Wheeldon resigned iron the city council Monday night at the close of a four and a hal hour session.
 He said, " I do not have time to take care or my own business, let alone the work of the city,
 Wheeldon had offered hls re- slgnation at a meeting last month but had agreed to serve for one more month.
 Heading the business acted upon by the council was the az. proval of a budget for $27 ,5O7, for the Independent School Dis- trict for the coming year.
 The billing of taxes for the ISD in the area outside the city limits will be made by the city clerk. John Hughes, president of the ISD, requested the council to instruct the clerk to do so be- cause of the city's experience in such matters.
 It will cost the city $l45, ,O00 to overhaul, extend and enlarge the water system, according to a report from the engineering firm Of Hubbell and Waller of Seattle, which was hired last fall to make a survey of the present system.
 Councilman Jack Hinckel read parts of the report at the meet ing No action will be taken un. til other members have studied the report

as II Christiana had thwarted
itself, but the drizzle made little,
if any, impression on the track.
The racing strip was so fast that
even a 25-minute drizzle caused
no change.

no cause for complaint when 1t

stand. Then I saw No. l flashed
as the winner"
The victory boosted Capot's
earnings in two years of racing
to $212,985. He won $92,150 as
2-year-old and $40,850 as a s.
year-old. until today, when he
added that $79.985 in the closest
Preakness finish since Bold Ven
ture nosed out Granville in 1886.
None of the last four in the
nine horse field drew much at
tention at the finish. The King
Ranch's Curandero. going to the
post at $49.70 to 81. was sixth
after trailing only Noble Impulse
and Capot at the half. Model
Cadet, who closed at S46.10. was
seventh-exactly where he placed
in the Derby. A surprisingly bad
race was run by Old Rockport,
winner of the 100000 Santa
Anita Derby who finished eighth.
Ninth and last was a thing
called Taran, owned by s. w. Lab
rot, jr., who went to the post
at odds of $126.10 to 81 and ran
just that way.
Trainer Calls the Turn.
The winning trainer was John
Milton Gaver. 40, a mild-man-
nered graduate of Princeton and
q former Spanish teacher at Gil
man School who had a yen for
racing and became Greentree's
trainer in 1899. Before the race
he said: I've got the horse to
beat. Beat Capot and you win the
race" His confidence was not
misplaced. 1t was Capot who ran
the favored Olympia into the
ground in the Derby, making a
race of it. and 1t was Capot who
today was luckier by catching the
pace-setter, Noble Impulse. and
holding the lead after it had been
won.
Substantiating the suspicion
that money is becoming increas-
ingly scarce, only $291,798 was
wagered on the Preakness today.
This was far under the record
$494,312 bet in 1947. when Calu-
NETS Faultless beat On Trust. The
crowd of 30,184 also was well un-
der the record Preakness throng
Of 42,319 in 1946. which was As
sault's year.
Ponder's failure to get up In
time cost Calumet the distinction
of becoming the only stable to
win the Preakness three times run
ming. The devils red silks Of
Warren Wright's farm were worn
by Faultless in 1947 and by Cita-
ton last year. Ponder, trained for
the Derby by Ben Jones. but sad
died today by his son. Jimmy, was
shooting for Calumet's fifth Freak
ness victory in the last nine years.
Wright also won with Pensive in
1914 and Whirlaway in 1941.
Purse is Near Record.
Pensive, daddy of Ponder, won
the Derby and the Preakness. but
missed joining the eight Triple
Crown winners-Sir Barton. GAL
liant Fox, Omaha, War Admiral,
Whirlaway. Count Fleet, Assault
and Citation-when he lost the
Belmont to Bounding Home. The
Preakness is considered the second
step to the Triple Crown, with the
mile-and-a-half Belmont repre-
senting the third gem In the dia-
dem.
The purse won by Capot was
less than $4,000 under the record
net of $98.005 won by Faultless
two years ago.
Track conditions were almost
ideal except for the rain. Indeed,
a lively wind probably made 1t
more uncomfortable for the horses
than the drizzle. which. il any,
thing. seemed to make the track
faster.
It came as mild surprise when
Noble Impulse, one Of the four
