You've heard of men losing
bets on slow race horses, but
Don Ross, president of Delaware

few ever to lose because a horse
was two days late getting to
the post.

showing visitors through the
spacious training barn at his

year-old f1lly by Shut Out. "a
friend said she ran at New Or
leans and I bet him she didn't.
Well. she did run. I found out,
and finished third, which goes
to prove that even owners don't
always know what their horses
are doing"
Trainer Buddy Raines had the
explanation for Ross loss.
Seems that Dead End was en-
tered IN a race on Thursday. but
was scratched and started on
Saturday.
You remembered she was
scratched" he told Ross. ''but
forgot that we ran her two days
later"
Ross has a small string Of q
year-olds at the farm and they
we're the st-behaved young

Beam. a colt with the same
breeding lines as High Gun, was
almost a friendly nuisance, in
sisting on muzzling the strangers
and licking hands until the skin
threatened to disappear.
Hes just lonely" Raines ex-
planned. He wants company
and he'll stand here all day
with you if you pet him and pay
him some attention"

Quoted by Delaware Park.
Although she led a select list
of Sc candidates. from which a
jury of 80 horsemen selected the
top 10, Gallorette did not re-
ceive the most first place votes.
That honor went to Miss Wood
ford, star of the 1880s, who won
l8 votes in the No spot to
Gallorette's 16, including those
of the veteran Sunny Jim Fitz-
simmonds. trainer of Nashua.
and Oscar White, well-known
handler of the Walter Jeffords
Stable. ....

Gallorette's name appeared on
83 ballots, while the second Wild
est point spread went to Twilight
Tear, who received 81 votes
10 for first place-and nosed out
Regret for second place. Miss
Woodford wound up fifth.
The compelte list with point
score and date of foaling is as
follows:

lBC Seeks Prestige Bout

NEW YORK, May "a F.-
The International Boxing Club
started a hurried search today
for a prestige fight to substitute
for the indefinitely postponed
title bout between lightweight
champion Jimmy Carter and
Wallace (Bud) Smith.
The 15-rounder, scheduled
for the Boston Garden and net
work television June l, was
called off last night by Manager
Willie Ketchum, who said the
champion lis sick with a sore
throat"
The fight has been post
poned indefinitely" Ketchum
added. Il notified the IBC that
Jimmy has a bad throat and
can't fight.
1T started last Wednesday
when Jimmy returned from a
newspapermen's luncheon in
Boston to his training camp in

sore throat.
Il took him to doctor (Dr.

gave Jimmy some penicillin. He

some more penicillin.
He laid off Saturday. but

the starters in the Preakress
which he won. He also rode DR..
Duenner in the 1911 Preakness
and Brosseau in the 1912 race,
but failed to finish in the money
in either.
Strangely enough, his victory
in the 1910 Preakness did not
bring Estep nearly as much at
tention as an occurrence in which
he participated at the Old La
tonia track in Kentucky on June
II. 1912.
On that day, Estep rode Wish
ing Ring to victory and the re-
turn on each 81 ticket was an
amazing $1,885.50. This still
stands as the all-time record for
a pari-mutuel payof.
OF course, Roy did not have
a quarter bet on Wishing Ring.
Track in Country Then
Estep, who quit race riding
about 80 years ago but galloped
horses until arthritis made him
quit at SIS. remembers the Pim-
lico of 1910 as a track in the
country.
I'VE would gallop horses down
surrounding roads, which are
city streets today" he recalled.
Questioned about what he re-
ceived for riding the Preakness
winner. Estep replied: Il got
5000 and a gold" cup. 1t was
more money than I ever had
in my life"
Now the 5000 is gone and the
cup turned out to be brass or
something. 1T wasn't gold"-but

winner is joy forever for Roy

finally came through with a
note about Scooter Scudero. 1t
seems the Redskins scatback,
who was handicapped by injuries
last year in his first season with
the club. is playing the part of
Casca in a Frisco production of
Julius Caesar"
Scudero, grooming himself for
a theatrical career when his
football days are over. also was
due to have the lead in Golden
Boy" a play supposedly written
around the career of Lou Am
bers. who quit the violin to be a
fighter and became world light
weight champion.
Everything in the papers has
been about the fight" reports
Moriarity. They even had the
British writers doing daily COL
umns for the local papers,"
"They don't have good, all
around players like they used to
have" complains Buck Mueller,
retired building supply dealer.
You don't see fellows like Sam
Rice. for example, who could do
everything. I was Sans ship
mate in the Navy during the
first World War. He started out
as a pitcher. you know. but he
could play any position and hit,
too. When Sam laid down a
bunt, you could read the label
on the ball"
Trouble is" another oldster
volunteered, they don't teach
these kids how to bunt in the
minors and they're handicapped
when they come to the big
leagues. Watch 'em sometime
they slide one hand up the bat
handle and hold it tight and
stiff. That's not the way to do
it. You've got to hold the bat
loose in your fingers"
One of the timers biggest
objections to modern bunting is
that the batter invariably tips
the play.
"Why, the infielders run UP
to home plate to field the ball.
and get away with it. If you
did that in the old days they'd
knock it right down your
throat"
Another member Of the group
saw Ferris Fain, Detroit first
baseman, go clear over in front
of the pitcher to field a bunt
against Washington. and brought
forth still another recollection
that Fain's father was a Jockey
who later turned to the ring
and had fair success in both
fields. Jackie Fain rode Duval
to second place behind Carol
Shilling on Worth in the 1912
Kentucky Derby. and won a
number Of races around Mary
land.
Hes the same" an oldtimer
declared, Ferris was out here
the other day telling somebody
about it think they had him
on television with Nick Campo
freda."
It's a small world. Interesting

None of the trainers serving
