Wallace Bows
In Two Races

The Lavender Hill Mob Rae
ing Association is thinking of
holding its second sports car
program on the new mile strip
at. Marlboro Motor Raceway
early in July, after its inaugural
event yesterday.
The big surprise yesterday was
the third-place finish of Charlie
Wallace in both his starts in the
Jaguar "l40" owned by JACK
Pry. In the eighth race, for pro-
duction Jaguars, Dick Thomp-
son was first away from the
LeMans start. Charlie Sarle was
second and Wallace third. That
was the way they finished.
The 10th event for quahfiers
of more than 1000 &C. displace-
ment saw Wallace run neck and
neck with Thompson on the sec
ond lap. but Wallace hit the mud
on the first corner and left the
strip. Sarle roarsd by and the
threesome again finished in the
same order at the end of 20 laps.
Thompson, the Washington
dentist who was runnelup to
Wallace the week before at
Cumberland, averaged 80 miles
per hour in keeping Sarle, a
young veteran from Alexandria,
behind him all the way.

He broke McNair's service four
times in the course of a GO,

the top-seeded McNair.
In the semifinals, Dell de-
feated Don Leavens. 1882 ma
tional boys champion, 8-6,

point of winning the first set
when Dell steadied and won four
of the next five games.
In the other semif1nal, McNair
defeated second-seeded Donald
Floyd, 60, 6-3.
After the semifinals, play was
shifted from thea Rock Creek

BALTIMORE, May 23.-Preak-
ness Week gets under way at
Pimlico this afternoon, with four
prospective outsiders in Satur-
days 100000 classic meeting in
the $4,000 Preakness Prep at a
mile and one-siXteenth.
There will be no betting on
the Prep, which won't settle any
thing but the fitness of Thinking
Cap, Fleet Path, Honeys Alibi
and Chuck Thompson. Eight
other races are scheduled and
the Prep is to be sandWicfied in
as sixth on the card. The Mary
land Racing Commission will not
permit wagering on more than
eight races.
Last years Prep brought to-
gether two of the Preakness' top
favorites. Correlation and Hasty
Road. Correlation won after a
humping incident in the stretch.
Five days later, at mile and
three -sixteenthS, HaSty Road re-
versed the order of finish after
another humping. match that
also involved Hasseyampa, the
third flnisher. A foul claim was
made by Arnold Kirkland, Has
seyampa's rider, but the order
of finish stood.
Nashua Heavy Choice
Despite the lack of betting,
there is considerable interest in
the Preakness Prep event be-
cause the winner could become
one of the colts given a chance
to upset Nashua, who now is
an, overwhelming choice to win
the second of the triple-croWn
events.
The price on the Balair stud
colt, who bowed to Swaps in
the Kentucky Derby, dropped
sharply when it was announced
Saturday that Dedicate had
been declared out of the Freak
ness. Dedicate had won the Jer-
Sey and Delaware Valley Stakes
to run his winning streak to
five straight and was second
choice to Nashua.
Now Montpelier Stables Sara
toga, beaten a neck by Dedicate
in the Jersey Stakes, moves into
the second spot behind Nashua.
Saratoga was an easy winner of
the Chesapeake at Laurel.
The Preakness Prep lines up
as a close contest, with all of
the four starters holding credit
