THE PREAKNESS:

THE PREAKNEsS - The time has when 1t is
fashionable go off the deep end otherwise keep your
The that Needles win the second leg
the Triple Crown tomorrow at Pmlico but the
colt will have to the first mile faster than he did in the
Kentucky Derby to beat FabiuS.
Unless up mud the Preakness has got to be
two-horse Mud slop moves up Come On Red sur
prise third in Kentucky Unfortunately for Come On Red
mud is condition that doesn't bother Needles Rain shine
it's just much of nuisance for the Dudley Heath colt
to of his around the track But he II
do it.
This Preakness in which the old and established
racing names will be badly outnumbered by the Johnny
ComeLaey set Fabius represents Big RacingCalumet no
less But Needles Jack Dudley and Bonnie Health
couple of lucky oil driers who to the racing
business Come On Red belongs to Mrs Helen W. Kellogg
wealthy patron of the sport but comparatively unknown to
the people until her outsider showed in Louisville
longshot may be little Count Chic fourth in the
Derby and second to Needles in the 100000 Florida Derby
This colt that claimed for $500 last September by
Lozz pizza restaurant in Seattle, Wash
The had to close his shop to East because Mrs
Lozz wanted to travel too Happens she is the chef
$500
THE BIG FIGHT:-If memory and casual glance at
The Ring Record Book serve only one fighter who
licked three times by the opponent turned
the tables That old Slapsie Make Rosenboom who
blew three in to Jimmy Sattery and then finally beat
him three times, twice for the ght-heavy title.
Tonight it's Sugar Ray Robinson versus Bobo Olson on
your Tv from Hollywood and with the mddeweight
title at stake Robinson has Knockout decision and a
Knockout over Olson the eking At the age of SO the
Indian sign may be the Best thing Robinson will have going
for him.
Once he masters an opponent Sugar Ray doesn't lose
the readily He whipped Izzy Jannazzo four times
running and Vic Decur three straight times Once Sugar
Ray knocked out George Sugar 255 of the first
round Five years later they fought second time Robinson
stopped Costnein the repeat in 249 of the first round
For Olson who attened twice in hurry last year
by Archie and Robinson could be the end of the
road he loses Bobo youngSte himself but If he can
last half dozen rounds he has got to have chance Not
many fighters lay out couple of years and dance in
uitln 1nSinU of
elastic in their legs.
LoEs, THE NEW oRIoLE-when is the last time you
heard ball player publicly breathe sigh of relief after
being traded by world championship ball potential
tail-ender? OF course you can't remember.
Brooklyn gave Billy Loes $21 900 bonus back in 1949
He collected three World Series shares too but when
Dodgers sold him out of the National League to the Baltimore
Orioles this week the eccentric Greek exclaimed
"Ive been asking for two years to be traded and it's
finally happened. couldn't be comfortable in Brooklyn
always under strain"
In difference to his suspect ARM LoeS that he will
rely slider and knuckle ball in the American League
although he's used knuckler in game But Billy had
been taking lessons from Gil Hodges first baseman who
used to be catcher.
From Hodges? This is not strange Hodges happens
to have the knack He throws probably the most active
knucker in baseball You'd be surprised how many
pitchers, especially outhelderS can throw EN-
IVES sANTEE, ETC. DEPT. You probably read the

Loyoa of Chicago On radio show Father Grant denounced
athletic amateuriSm relic of British snobbery"
called for American free enterprise to ubsdize athletes us
as Russia is doing today
Outside college Father Grant quoted by the Associated
Press The whole concept of amaeursm should abolished
a antquated, unrealstc and leading to dishonesty
There point in continuing the pretense of amateursn
in the AAU."
Within the colleges, Father Grant asked that schools
pay their players openly and under the table, adding
the real evil from the violation OF agreements int
which the colleges have entered They all have signed
tracts with one another promising to pay their players
Many are paying their players secretly they arr
teaching young men hypocrisy and pretense"
