AA
Attracts Lurge Crowd
The Talent Show at the.
Alexander Theatre yesterday
attracted an audience that
overflowed the large building
at both the afternoon and
evening show. Many had to be
turned away because every
seat had been sold out from
early evening.
The SHOW, directed by
DR.. Randall James, made a
tremendous hit with the pa
irons, and revealed q number
of talented youngsters, some
of whom could make good if
given the chance and proper
training. One outstanding
case was that Of two boys
who taught themselves to tap
dance simply by watching
the movies.
Another unique feature Of
yesterdays performance was
the dancing of the famous
"Lancers' by four youthful
couples under the direction
Of Alphonso Gaskin, who train
ed Them. The "Jumbi jam
boree" was in itself a riot;
the patrons literally rolled in
the aisles with laughter as
the well-known SPEEDY
George led his sJumbies''
against Frank Petersen and
Tappy Scales with his group.
The aCha Cha Cha" dance
that has become the latest
fad was featured twice; first
by the teenagers and then by
a group Of tots whose average
age was between eight and
six, all Of whom came from
the D. Hamilton Jackson Hous
ing Project. There were a
number of talented singers.
The Christiansted Steel
Band made its first appear

TNASHUA'S VICTORY
DOESN'T BRIGHTEN
IOWNER OF SWAPS

GLENWOOD, Calf, June
II P.-Nashua's victory to-
day in the Belmont Stakes
may have impressed wealthy
Rex C. Ellsworth but it
didn't frighten him out of a
proposed match race be-
tween his own Swaps, who
whipped Nashua in the Ken
lucky Derby, and the Belair
stud colt.
Ellsworth watched the
Belmont on television in the
Hollywood Park Turf Club.
He indicated no surprise at
all when Nashua drew away
and won easily.
Asked if he though Swaps
would have beaten Nashua
again today, Ellsworth smiled
and replied:
well, the finish would
have been different, any
way" He meant there would
have been no runaway for
Nashua.
Then Nashua didn't scare
you?" he was asked.
No, not a Bit" Ellsworth
answered.

Another short-priced favorite
bowed in the fifth race. a dash
for maiden 2-year-olds which
have been the property of the
present owners since January l,
1854, when Montpelier's Nahodah
went wide at the top of the
stretch.
Mrs. John F. McGavock's Mr.
Treasurer took advantage of the
situation and sprinted to vic
tory, as Nahodah settled for Sec
ond. Countermand, from the
Brandywine Stable, was third.
All three 2-year-olds are candi-
dates for the Christiana Stakes

Despite the sloppy track. two
favorites - Keystone Stable s
Changeling at $3.50 in the first
race, and Mrs. Guy Needy's At

vided a $14.80 daily on a pair of

Oddly enough the same two
horses won the first and second
races here May 81 but on that
occasion the double returned
$162.20 on the seven and nine
combination.

Valenzuela, who rode Jabneh
apparently felt they finished toe
far back to do any talking.
After the first four, the order
of finish was Flying Fury. Little
Dell, Mr.. AL L. and Retamero
Some Of those names dont
mean much, even to close race
followers, but the fact that
seven other owners were willing
to pay $1,000 apiece to start
their 3-year-olds helped swell
the pot for Nashua and Belair
AS a result, Nashua earned $780,
TOO and this put him sixth or
the all-time list of money earn.
ers with a total Of $653, 100.
The victory was Nashua's 18th
in Is starts and his fifth this
season in a race where more
than 100000 was involved.
With a number of rich stakes
ahead, Nashua looks like a sure
bet to join Citation in the mil
lion-dollar category if he stays
sound. Through the 1948 Bel
mont Stakes, Citation hao
earned $389,020 in II starts as
a 3-year-old. Before the yeal
ended, the Calumet champion
won nine more races for a sea-
sons total of $709,470, an all
time record. Only that Havre de
Grace defeat by Saggy marred
a perfect record. Citation earned
$1,085, ,76O in all.
Nashua already has earned
$460,825 this year. and ahead of
him are such stakes as the Dwy-
er, Arlington Classic, Travers
and Jockey Club Gold Cup-in
addition to the possibility Of a
SIS, 900 match race with Swaps.
Race Truly Run
Today's Belmont was truly
run in all respects and the only
colt that had a semblance Of an
excuse was Portersville. who met
with some interference just be-
fore the clubhouse turn.
At that point, Paul Bailey was
pushing C. v. Whitney's Little
Dell along in the lead. with
Nashua in second place and all
set to strike. Going up the back
stretch, Little Dell. a 37-to-1
outsider. was three lengths in
front, with the others strung
out. This order continued until
Nashua took over. And then
Blazing Count made a move that
took care of all the others.
That's just about all there was
to the race.
Nashua's mutuel price was the
shortest since Count Fleet won
by Is lengths from two other
starters in 1943. Back in 1920,
Man O. War was as low as l to
100 in some books, but Donna
Gonna was the only other starter
that day.
In the show pool, $104.217 was
wagered on Nashua out of a total
of $120,195. In the win pool,
Nashua drew 500, $50 out of $131,-
992. The total handle for the
race was $328,336 out of a total
handle for the day of $2,874.830.
A near tragedy marred the
third race for maiden 2-year-
olds down the Widener course
when Jockey Hedley Woodhouse
was thrown off Besomer, a sup

Saratoga carried Mrs. Marion
du Pont SCOTS silks to victory
in the $35. .000-added Leonard
Richard Stakes here today but
the game 3-year-old colt cut it
mighty close as he squeezed out
a half-length triumph at 3-to-10
odds.
With his legion of rain-soaked
hackers quaking in their shoes
all through the mile and an
eighth spin around Delaware
Parks sloppy strip, Saratoga
beat out William Ewing's ALI
bhai Lashes under a strong hand
ride by Jockey Nick Shuk.
The Christiana Stables
Thinking Cap ran a creditable
race to be third, four lengths
behind the second colt. but ac-
tually it was a two-horse race
all the way between Saratoga
and the persistent Alibhai
Lashes. who had Tony DeSpirito
handling the reins.
Causes Minus Pool
Saratoga returned $3.50, $2.40
and 1920 and caused a $1,976.94
minus show pool. The sleek
brown son Of Blenheim II, who
gave up chasing Nashua in fa-
vor of the Leonard Richards
Stakes today, earned the richest
prize of his career as he took
down a winners share of $35, 500.
The stakes crossed $48, ,085.
The time of 1:51H was excel
lent in view of the condition of
the track, which was hard hit
by rain squalls through the
morning and into the afternoon.
Shuk must be credited with
another fine riding demonstra-
ton as he rated Saratoga per-
fectly despite the prolonged chal-
lenge of Alibhai Lashes, who
was never more than a length
away. Wisely Shuk did not try
to draw too far away and re-
served Saratoga for the run down
the stretch. At the top of the
stretch. Alibhai Lashes for a
split second edged his nose in
front of the heavy favorite.
Saratoga Finally Wins
In the final eighth. however,
Saratoga edged ahead apd at
the wire he maintained his
clear-cut. half-length margin.
It was not the manner in which
a short-priced favorite is ex-
Ipected to win but it indicated
Saratoga's gameness in going
which he does not fancy.
Behind the first three horses
at the wire came Brookfield
Farms 1magem in fourth place
and Cain Hoy Stables Racing
Fool, a poor last, despite being
second choice to Saratoga at
6 to /.
Breckenridge Longs Westward
Ho and King Ranch's Mid Pas
sage were scratched from the
original field of seven colts.
Despite the miserable weather,
a crowd of 19,443 turned out
for today's program which was
marred by numerous scratches.
Wagering hit $1,501 ,494 and the
total compared favorably with
last year when 23,995 bet
$1.686.015.
