EPSON, England, June g.
Sir Gordon Richards, the worlds
winningest jockey, today \rode
Pima to a four-length victory
over Queen Elizabeth's Aureole
in the 174th EPSON Derby. It
was his first Derby triumph in
33 years of racing.
Earlier this week Queen Eliza
beth II had knighted Richards,
but today the sallow-faced Sir
Gordon turned on the Queens
fine colt Aureole and out
distanced the royal chestnut in
the last two furlongs aboard Sir
Victor Sassoon's entry.
This was Richards 28th Derby
ride, but his 4.67O victories did
not include a previous victory in
this great mile-and-a-half race
for three-year olds.
Wild Ovation for Jockey.
The deafening reception, the
cheers and the hurrahs that
greeted the stumpy 49-year-old
little man more than made up
for the q other Derby victories
which had eluded him.
Richards horse was a 5-to-1
post-time co-favorite along with
Premonition, while Aureole
started at 9 to l. Premonition
finished out of the money.
In third place, a length and a
halt back of Aureole, was the
French-bred Pink Horse, owned
by Prince Said Toussoun. Fourth
in the 27-horse field was the Aga
Khan's Shikampur.

quarters of the race but faded

Graham Beats Aragon
On Close Decision
In West Coast Bout

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30
Irish Billy Graham, at 80, fig
ures he's still far from being
counted out of the welterweight
boxing title picture.
The New Yorker last night put
a damper on the hopes of the
California Golden Boy" Art
Aragon, with a unanimous 10
round decision at the Olympic
Auditorium. Billy's mitigating
was too much for the Los An
geles battler who looked good in
flurries, but couldn't match the
Irishman's boxing skill.
Graham appeared virtually I'M
marked after the fight, while
Aragon needed stitches for a
deep cash over his right eye, car
ried a mouse around his left eye,
and talked through pulled lips.
AragOn Fans Protest.
Under California boxing rules
of splitting II points per round,
Referee Joe Stone saw it 1854,
Judge frankie Van, 57-53, and
Judge Mushy Callahan 55h-
SAY. The Associated Press scored
it 5612-5312 for the New Yorker.
The Aragon fans among the
10,400 Sellout crowd thought
their man had won on the basis
of harder hitting. And Aragon's
manager, Jimmy Roche. COM
planned bitterly about Graham's
holding and hitting tactics. but
to no avail.
Billy weighed in right at the
147-pound limit, with Art at
144A.
Graham has had four fights
with Kid Gavilan, welterweight
champion, but he'd like another.
In the two that counted for the
title the Kid took the nod.
Meets GiardeIlO Next.
First comes some unfinished
business March 6 in New York's
Madison Square Garden when
Graham meets joey Giardello.
Their last match went to Graham
when Bob Christenberry, New
York boxing commissioner, re-
versed a judges decision. Billy
has no Qualms about the return
match.
II licked him twice and can
do it again." he says.
Financially it was a good night
for both Graham and Aragon.
After taxes they'll get about
$4,000 apiece. The fight was
strictly for the cash customers,
who put $47.964 into the gate.
There was no TV or radio broad
cast.
