of speed and shooting accuracy,

minutes to edge st. Louis, $3.50,

With less than six minutes to
play, Fred Schlictman tied the
game for Bradley. at 52-52. This
was only the second time Bradley
was on an even basis with St.
Louis.
Bradley Center Behnke sent his
team ahead. 54-52. for the first
time with tricky spin shot from

Aqua Caliente, in Mexico, and
Culmone will fly to Havana, Cuba.
tomorrow to ride eight mounts at
Oriental Park.
At the start of today's racing,
Culmone held a one-win margin
over his 19-year-old rival from
Ell Paso, Tex.
Both are only three short Of
the 44-year- -old record of 1888 win
ners ridden by Walter Miller in
1906-a goal both hope to better
Sunday.
Today was one of Shoemaker's
finest of the year. In nine mounts
he never was out of the money.
In addition to the four f1rsts, he
had two seconds and three thirds.
Culmone had eight mounts. He
won the first race, rested during
the second and came back to win
the third and fifth events.
Wins Four Out of Five.
Shoemaker registered his four
victories in his first five mounts.
He won on Wise Policy in the
first race and Flight Heart in the
second. In the third race he was
third aboard Our Freedom but
came back to win the fourth on
Novelty and the fifth on General
Custer.
He finished second in the sixth
on Rusty Brown and second on
Dydamic in the seventh. In the
eighth and ninth races. he placed
third on Hill Flight and third
again on Applejack Jake.
Culmone was first under the
wire on his first two mounts. He
won aboard Scooter Stables Seer
sucker in the first and M. Rauzin's
Frenchtown in the third. He did
not ride in the second.
He was out of the money on
Hoosier Relic in the fourth but
came back to win the fifth on Mrs.
Aksel Wichfeld's MAZE.
Shoemaker has been gaining
steadily on the Sicilian-b born Cul-
none. When he went to New
Orleans to ride. he trailed by
eight wins.
Injury Halted Culmone.
Culmone was forced on the
sidelines for three days when he
suffered a nasty spill with only
IL days of racing left in the year.
The young riding sensation rode
only 49 winners in 1949 compared
to Shoemaker 219 victories.
That one or both will equal or
Surpass Miller's old record seems
highly probable. Culmone has
been promised "the horses con-
sidered most capable in each
race" at Havana.
