OCEAN DOWNS
TO OPEN AUG. 10
Olin Davis to Join Battle For
Driving HonOrs at Ocean
City Track
SET TRACK RECORD IN so


Olin Davis, of Clayton, Del, one
of the Eastern Shores most skill
full and popular harness drivers,
will join the battle for driving hon.
ors at Ocean Downs Raceway, the
picturesque pari-mutuel night har-
ness track at Ocean City, Md,
which opens a 20-night meet on
August 10. Davis, who drives a
stable of some IL horses for his
uncle. the we'll known ]. M. Davis
of Clayton, was the leading driver
at the seashore oval in 1851, and
in 1850 drove Bermuda to the still
unchallenged track record of
1 40 1l5 for the six furlongs dis
tance there. Davis horses are all
reported sharp and ready for big
season, and he hopes to ride to
the driving honors again this year.
But he'll be up against hardy vet
Grams such as Jim Stokley of Har-
rington, Del. .,and William e. Miller
of Oxon Hill, Md, first and second
respectively in last seasons race
for the title of top reinsman of the
meet. Also spicing up the COM
petition with his large stable will
be Joe Hylan, who won top driv-
ing honors at ocean Downs in
1949. Bermuda, the Ocean Downs
record holder, will be back with
the Davis contingent again this
season. The seven-year-old mare
recently won in 2:o6 SI5 at Rose

her to the fastest mile of her car
eer Also included in the Davis
string are Buddy York, Ethel Lady,
Berty York, Liberate, Lucky Card,
May &C, Mary ], Jay H, Clayton,
Mike Bohemia and Shep York.
Shep York, three-year-old bay
gelding, recently established his
mark of 2:10 35 in victory at
Rosecroft. Davis drove him at
Ocean Downs last year as a two
year-old winning several races
with the classy PAGER. Another
victor already this season is Ethel
Lady, which Davis steered home
in swift 2:07 2I5 at Rosecroft a
few weeks ago. Berty York is
the fastest PAGER in the Davis
stable, with life time record of
2:04 35 on half mile track. Presi-
dent Earl e. Conley and General
Manager S. Rudy Birmingham an
nounced last week that the Ocean
Downs track is undergoing a
thorough overhauling, and will be
in the best shape ever when the
hundreds of crack trotters and
PAGERS due to compete in the 20
night meet begin to arrive. With
a boom anticipated for the Eastern
Shore vacationlands this season,
officials are predicting record

Satisfied With $3.50 Pay
By Bob Thomos

That's the kind Of buildup you

do"
But don't get the idea that
young Wagner Is going to
allow himself to be exploited.
He's too hep to let that hap
pen.
Il could probably get a new
deal from the studio right
now." he remarked. But time
is in my favor. My next op-
ton period is in April. BY
that time. ~ Mile Reef and
Prince Valiant will be re-
leased. Then I will be in a
better bargaining position.
Prince Valiant alone is
worth IS million to me, as
far as my future career is
concerned. 1t is a natural.
the kind of picture that comes
once in a lifetime for an
actor"
So while Bob is waiting for
the big money to roll in, he
is learning how to be a movie
star and live on $3.50 a week.
That's harder than 1t sounds,
according to him.
He's About Broke
by the time I pay my
agents 10 per cent. rent, in
surance. clothes, taxes and
other expenses. I find I have
nothing left" he remarked.
And for IL weeks out of the
year, I don't earn any salary"
He decided he needed a
manager and consulted the
business agent who handles
such stars as Humphrey Bo-
CART and Dick Powell.
"1f you can't save any
money ON $3.50 a week. you
probably couldn't save on
$6O.00C a year." the moneyman
told him. do you realize that
some judges earn as much as
you do and yet are able to
maintain nice houses and
cars. put their children
through school, etc?"
Bob hired the man to take
care of his pay check and
now he's on a strict budget.
II couldn't get an extra quar-
ter to see an earthquake" the
actor sighs.
But he doesn't have to
worry. Despite present-day
economy, his bosses will prob
ably be coming up with a new
contract soon. Reason: So
the studio will have seven
more years of his services,
instead OF the present four.
That's all right with me,
too." said Bob. when the new
contract is over, I'll be 80. If
I have continued to grow, I'll
be in a position to knock off
really big money as a free
lancer"
No doubt about it, here's a
kid who's going to get ahead.

Here's news. Robert Wag-
ner. No. boy with the

q paltry $3.50 a week and isn't
complaining.
OF course, $3.50 weekly may
seem like a sizable chunk Of
change to you and me, but it's
small potatoes In the movie
world. Especially for lad like
Bob Wagner.
He is currently the top man
on all the fan magazine polls.
The malt shop set goes for
him with a devotion that re-
calls the palmiest days Of Van
Johnson and Frank Sinatra.
His studio. Goth Century-Fox.
has taken a tip from the
teen-agers and put Wagner
in top properties. He recently
finished "12 Mile Reef" a
wide-screen epic of sponge
fishing filmed entirely in Flor
ida.
He's Satisfied
Now he's playing the title
role in prince Valiant" a
super-budget cinemascope film
in which he'll be surrounded
by Janet Leigh, Debra Paget,
Sterling Hayden. James Ma
son and a flock of topnotch
actors. All of them will doubt
less be making more money
than the star of the film.
I'm not complaining" said
the handsome, 23-year-old
actor. I'm grateful to the
studio. When I came here
four years ago, I didn't know
the first thing about acting.
They took a chance on me,
and I couldn't have had better
training.
