Straight Face Getting
Top-Reavy Support
In Maturity Saturday
ey the Associated Press


ARCADIA, Calf, Jan. %
Race track experts always leave
themselves clear for an upset,
but barring a reversal of form.
they are almost unanimous in
picking the Greentree Stables
Straight Face to capture the
100000 Santa Anita Maturity
Saturday.
The event, restricted to A.
year-olds. probably will attract
9 or 10 entries when the box
closes tomorrow.
Straight Face is a Count Fleet
colt, and his trainer. George
Poole. says he is even better
now than he was at this same
time a year ago, when he won
the rich Flamingo Stakes in
Florida.
Pleased With Form.
Poole said he was pleased with
Straight Faces return to form
in two overnight races this win
ter in Florida, and with final
workout last Saturday before he
was flown to the coast.
Ted Atkinson, his regular rider
Ted was aboard Straight Face
in his first race as a 2-year old
is also on hand for the Maturity.
The Greentree Stable trainer
pointed out that he doesn't re-
gard the acknowledgements race
as shoo-in. by any means. He
said he has regard for every
other horse in the field.
He singled out a California
owned colt. Mrs. Edward Lasker's
By zeus. for mention. BY Zeus
is also a Count Fleet colt. He
won the recent SIS. 900 San Fer
nando Handicap by more than
three lengths and did it in heavy
going.
Strip Promises to Be Heavy.
The racing strip promises to be
almost as muddy or heavy for
the Maturity.
Jimmy Jones, Calumet trainer,
Is another who likes Straight
Face. Jones has had winning
experiences in the Maturity.
Calumet has nothing this year,
but in 1853 Jones saddled Mark
Ye-Well and Fleet Bird to run
one-two in the race, and in 1850
Calumet's Ponder and Two Lea
swept across in the same order.
Other rivals against the
Greentree star include Cerise
Refine. only f1lly in the lineup;
Ais Gem. Correspondent, His
tory Book, Apple Valley, Matt
nee Idol and Merryman. Joe
Jones and Golden Abbey, both
plagued by swollen legs, are
highly doubtful starters.

going, may have Willie Shoe
maker, 1855 riding champion,
in the saddle. Shoemaker was
booked to ride Joe Jones, but
Trainer Hirsch Jacobs gave the
jockey permission to seek an
alternate mount. =

Pessimist for Two Minutes

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Casey
Stenge1 says he doesn't know if
his Yankees can make it six
straight pennants. Seven other
American League managers
would like to have the same
problem.
"Some of our pitching is too
DID," Casey said yesterday. 1--WE
need more pitching if it's not
on the farms, I don't know If
we can win No. 6. Any club that
wins too often gets careless I
know / said last fall we'd win
six, seven and eight. Now I
don't know"
That was the pessimiStic side
of Stengel's press conference in
the crowded Yankee offices with
TV lights blaring and cameras
buzzina But Case had tough
time being pesSimist for more
than two minutes. Soon he was
back on the other side.
Were stronger than we were
in the last five years as far as
the regulars CO." he said. Every
body. except Phil Rizzuto. and
the three pitchers cd Lopat.
Vic Raschi. Allie Reynolds) is
more experienced. can do more
things. The other managers are
quoted in the magazines about
how TO pitch to beat the YAM
KEGS. The fact is. with all this
knowledge of how to pitch to
our batters, we still won the
pennant.
do I know how to pitch to
everybody? If I did. wouldn't
put out all that good stuff. Some
things they said were true but We
eliminated them. l wouldn't want
to say what we did-it's lousy
thing to be talking about your
own weakness when you're the
champs.
It's no wonder that the con-
fused baseball writer's walked out
moaning, What did the man
say?"
Casey did give the boys
brief rundown on the rest of the
league. In thumbnail fashion
it went like this:
BOSTON-Better. More power
with Ted Williams back and
Jackie Jensen added. Made the
most progress with youth.
CLEVELAND - Better. AL
Rosen is the best third baseman
in baseball. They know now how
often they can afford to work
their big pitchers. Could afford
to give up front-line pitcher if
could get a first baseman and
outfielder.
CHICAGO-Better. Will have
Virgil Trucks all season. To get
third baseman and outfielder
would have to give up pitcher.
WASHINGTON - Pitching
great, especially at home. Fine
outfield helps pitchers. No dis
lance hitter. May have a little
trouble with catching and Short
stop.
PHILADELPHIA-Will fight
harder Bobby Shantz has to be
better. Five young Yankee farm
hands will help club.
BALTIMORE-Jimmy Dykes
has much better shortstop than
he had last year at Philadelphia.
Dick Kryhoski good enough first
baSenan to play with one Yankee
pennant winner. Some good
young pitching. Needs two out
fielderS, third basemar and two
pitchers.
DERO1T-Retter at short and
third base Club much improved
IN last half of season but needs
help
Stengel revealed that the
Yanks had chance to get
Trucks from st. Louis last spring
before he was traded to Chicago.
But we hadn't lost our nine
