took the second division, with All's
Fair second and Whittier third.
OF these three, only Whittier is a
Preakness eligible.
Charlie McAdam, victor in the
second division of the Flamingo
at Hialeah, ran the seven furlongs
in 1:2425, four-f1fths of a second
faster than Sky Ship. Charlie
McAdam, who missed the Derby
because of an attack of distemper,
won by half a length from Sug-
gested and looks like a tough con-
testant for the Preakness.
The Starmount Stables Pri-
mate finished about two lengths
back of the winner, but closed
fast and may be a tough horse
over the Preakness distance of a
mile and three-sixteenths.
Others Due This Week.
In addition to Hill Gail, at
least four other colts which ran
in the Derby are expected here
this week. This group includes
Sub Fleet, second to the Calumet
champion; Blue Man, third in the
Derby; Arroz, the California
horse, and Count Flame, fifth at

Sub Fleet and Arroz are supple

Robinson Tops Musia
by 149 Points Now:
7 browns Lead AL,
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, May 6.-Brook-
lyn's Jackie Robinson, shooting for
his second National League bat
ting crown. today held a fat 149-
point lead over Stan Musial-the
gent who usually winds up on top
lat the end of the season.
While Musial, the st. Louis
Cardinals slugger. is in a .277
slump" Robinson tops both ma
jor leagues in hitting with .426
average. But his has been the
pattern for the last two years: A
quick start for Robinson, with
Musial slowly closing the gap,
until he's on top to stay.
Tie In American League.
There's no such pattern in, the
American League, where Bob Nei-
man and Jim Delsing Of the St.
Louis Browns are tied for the lead.
Each has a 400 mark. Figures in
clude yesterdays games.
Robinson's hitting has been red
hot. In Is games. he's hit safely
20 times in At at bats. On the
other hand, Musial, who is seeking
his sixth hitting title and third
in a row. has 18 hits in IS at bats.
However. Musial's teammate,
Peanuts Lowrey, is pressing Rob-
inson for the lead, and trails
Jackie by only two points. Low
rey's .424 mark is one of the early
season surprises.
Hank Edwards of Cincinnati
holds down third place with a 1894
mark. He's followed by Toby At
well, Chicago, with .372, and Ted
Kluszewski, Cincinnati, with .361.
Nieman Goes Hitless.
Until yesterday, Nieman had
held a comfortable lead over Del
sing in the American League hit
race. But last night, Delsing went
2-for-4 against Washington while
Nieman was hitless in two at bats.
Sam Mele, whom the Chicago
White Sox obtained from WASH
ington last Saturday, is third with
a 1892 figure. Then comes Rookie
Hec Rodriguez of the White Sox
with .377, and Floyd Baker, Wash

is made.
Although George Gainford, Rob-
inson's manager. said the fight
will be held under Solomons' pro-
motion overseas, and Solomons
agreed whole-heartedly, the IBC
raised an objection.
