Thinks Both Overruted

LOUISVILLE, KY, May H.
Eddie Arcaro feels both Native
Dancer and the Churchill Downs
track are overrated.
Arcaro, who will ride Cor
respondent in tomorrow's Ken
lucky Derby, says Of Native
Dancer: He'd better be a hell
iva horse. He hasn't proved he
is yet, and he's got some good
ones to beat"
About the Downs track, he
said: tits the worst possible
race track"
It made no difference to the
109-pound Italian that he has
ridden five Derby winners-more
than any other jockey-and has
collected more than $4,000 for
his 10 Derby mounts.
Strip Full Of Holes"
In a laxative mood in his
suite on the 18th floor of a
downtown hotel, Arcaro said the
Derby strip is full of holes-and
it's dangerous if you don't know
your way"
"An of us who ride here know
how bad it is" he went on. If
you can't get your horse on the
rail, you've got to go out 8 or
10 feet to find another path.

ST. LOUIS, May L. The
optimism which engulfed the
Mats in spring training, when
batting averages and hopes were
soaring, has been supplanted by
peSsimlSm backed up by feeble
averages compiled against the
respectable pitching they're now
viewing every day.
Ed Yost, who emerged from
exhibition games with a 1878
figure. now is struggling along
at .231. Jackie Jensen, granted
the Mats No. 4 spot in the
batting order. denoted and
again promoted to the cleanup
job last night, is hitting 269.
Mickey Vernon, alternating in
the fourth slot with Jensen, is
contributing little with his .255
mark.
The biggest disappointment in
early campaigning, though, has
been Pete Runnels. The clubs
leading hitter last season. ile
can't get going and has a .133
average. After a f1ashy start
Wayne Terwilliger has subsidized
to .265.
Only Busby, VOllmer Hitting.
Jim Busby and Clyde Vollmer
are the only regulars unaffected
by the general slump. Jim, off
to a Shaky start, has hit safely
in his last five games to lift his
average to 1923. And since the
Mats landed Vollmer from the
Red Sox, he has hit safely in
all seven games and is hitting
1921.
Virgil Trucks of st. Louis re-
Stricted the Mats to three scat
tered singles last night and won
a 81 decision when Bob Elliott
rammed a homer off Chuck
Stobbs with two aboard in the
seventh inning. Stobbs. who held
the Browns to four hits. was
betrayed by the Mats futile at
tack and shoddy fielding.
Runnels, guilty of five errors
in the first IA games. set up the
Browns rally after Johnny
Groth slammed a single between
Terwilliger's legs. That blow was
scored as a hit by liberal stretch
ing of the imagination. Runnels
then booted Bill Hunters tailor
made double-play grounder. Pete
made a second stab for the ball
and If successful could have
forced Groth, but he missed
again.
Miss Chance for Triple Play.
Jim Dyck popped a beauty
of a bunt down the third-baSe
line and the bases were loaded
with none out. Vic Wertz lined
to Yost at third and by sharp
thinking the Mats could have
made an easy triple-play. But
instead OF permitting the ball
to drop from his hands-base
paths were oozy and runners
were glued to their tracks-Ed
latched on to the ball and fired
to Vernon, catching Dyck of
first for a double-play.
With first base open. the Mats
strategy called for Stobbs to
pitch to the dangerous Elliott.
Bob blasted a home run into
the rightfield bleachers and took
over the league lead in runs
batted in with 10.
The Mats produced their only

Native Dancer in No. Z Spot.
In the draw for the post posi-
tions Ace Destroyer drew No. l.,

Other positions drawn were:

Native Dancer places one of
turf history'S most enviable rec
ords on the line when he goes
in the Derby.
Not since Man o. War was al
most a household word more
than 30 years ago has a horse
caught the fancy Of racing ex-
perts and laymen like Native
Dancer, smooth-striding blue
gray son of Polynesian. And that
goes for such famous Derby win
ners as Citation, Count Fleet
and Whirlaway. Native Dancer
is expected to go to the post at
odds Of 3 to S.
Even Man o War, who didn't
race in the Derby, already bad
lost his lone decision at this
stage of his racing career.
Norwich Also Had Won II.
One need go back to 1922
when Norwich won the mile-and-
a-quarter classic at Churchill
Downs to find a Derby horse
with a comparable record. Nor
vich was undefeated in IL q
year-old starts and made the
Derby his 18th consecutive win.
After that he never won an
other race.
Bimelech came up to the 1910
Derby with a perfect record in
eight 2-year-old races and two
as a 3-year-old. But he bowed
to Gallahadion in the big race.
Against these records, the
Dancer can show nine victories
in 1852 and two this spring as a
3-year-old. However, he has a
long way to go to match the con-
secutive win record of 10 estab-
lished by Hindoo, the 1881 Derby
winner.

SBA Policy Regarding
Loans To Small
Business Changed
Continued from first page)

Mr. Harman said the Act also
specifies the following factors are
to be considered in processing loan
applications: Importance of the
business activity to the defense eff
fort or essential civilian needs, to
the public interest, or to the main
tenance of a well-balanced national
economy.
2. A requirement that an appli-
cant for a direct loan must show
proof that his own bank cannot
grant such a loan was continued
by a secondary requirement that
proof of refusal of credit from a
competing bank be offered was de-
leted.
"This change is not a Iiberaliza-
tiOn of the requirement that salts
factory evidence must be furnished
that credit is not available through
normal banking channels" accord
ing to Mr.. Harman. "In all cases,
it is within the discretion Of the
Regional Office to explore the avil-
ability of bank financing. Indeed
this work often puts the wOuld-be
borrower in touch with a bank
which can grant the required cred
it."
3. A clause was added excluding
the granting of financial assistance
where the purpose is to refinance
Indebtedness to a Government
agency.
He added that the Qualification
of the Loan Policy Statement pri-
marily was an administrative step
aimed at meeting loan detectives
under the Small Business Act. It
was taken, he said, because of
some misunderstanding of the Ori-
ginal language of the statement.
Many worthy small business firms
had gained the mistaken idea that
they were not eligible for financial
assistance.
Further details, Mr.. Harman said,
can be obtained at the regional off
ice at 1915 Chestnut Street, Phila-
delphia, or at the branch office at
ut Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh.
These offices represent SBA in
Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the
southern counties of New Jersey.
