the lovliest season in natures year.
It's spring when the suns center

dows, lawns and gardens. If the
heart is heavy and the cares of the
world are pressing, go out alone on
the land. There is faith for him who
is ready to receive anew the gift of
spring.

.DeSpirito Suspended,
Rides Three Winners
BY the Assoeioied Press

BOSTON, June 16. Jockey
Tony DeSpirito was suspended
for the final II days of the Suf-
folk Downs meeting as a result
of careless riding aboard Greek
Stadium last Saturday, but he
closed out his stand with a sue
'cesslve triple in the sixth, sew
enth and eighth races yesterday.
The suspension, effective to-
day, leaves him with 1876 winners
so far in 1953-well ahead of his
ecord-breaking 1852 pace when
he got hot in the last six months
of the year. = 6
The 17-year-old rider from
Lawrence, Mass, already has
been suspended three times this
year. He was set down at Lin
coin Downs and earlier in this
Suffolk meeting for careless
riding. Thus far, he has ridden
SO winners at Suffolk.
DeSp1rito drew the ire of the
stewards for allowing Greek Sta
dium to interfere with Rose
Beauty Saturday. Greek Sta
dium finished the race in a first
place dead heat with Time for
Speed, but Hubert Trent-up on
Rose Beauty-protested that his
mount was hampered by De-
Spirito's.
After viewing the films, the
stewards disqualified Greek Sta
dium and then made a ruling be-
lieved unprecedented in Ameri-
can racing by moving third place
Rose Beauty up to a first-place
dead heat with Time for Speed.
DeSpirito's Greek Stadium was
dropped to third.
