ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Mar

last three years after racking up
six batting championships in his
first 10 campaigns with the
Cardinals, has confided to friends
he expects to nail down his sew
enth title this year.
The National Leagues great
est player of the last decade pre-
dicted. during one of those rare
times when he talks about him
self, he would hit between $40
and $50. He thinks that should
be sufficient to win the batting
crown and he thinks Philadel-
phia's Richie Ashburn and New
York's Willie Mays are the play
ers to beat.
Ashburn captured the title last
year with 1888 and Mays won the
previous year with ,345.
Declaring he felt good deal
younger than his IS years, Musial
maintained he's at his best physi-
cally since 1952-the last time he
won a batting championship. He
weighs 1T, two pounds lighter
than when he finished the 1855
season.
I've got to win the batting
championship this year." Musial
quipped. Il haven't received a
raise in salary in five years"

NEEDLES, CAREER BOY TOP LIST
Record 1O1 Horses Ready
For Try at Triple Crown

Chances of a triple crown
winner are increased this year
by a change in conditions OF
the Belmont, providing for sup
Elemental nominations. The
Preakness has had such a pro-
vision for late corners for several
years.
Last May Swaps won the
Derby. but Ellsworth neglected
to nominate him for the Bel
mont. He could have gone into
the Preakness by the payment
of a $500 supplemental fee, but
the California breeder owner
elected to skip the Baltimore
race because he couldn't get
Swaps into the Belmont.
Supplemental nominations for
the Preakness may be made for
$500 until May 7, two days
after the Derby. For the Bel
mont, supplemental nominations
at a cost of $4,000 may be made
up to within five days of the
race.
Thus, if a horse exists with the
class necessary to win the triple
crown, he'll have no excuses for
not running. The net value to
the winner of all three races will
be in the neighborhood of $780,
900.
The thoroughbred racing as
sociations will have a huge Triple
Crown trophy ready for the win
ner-if one comes along. Other
wise the trophy goes this year to
Assault, who won for the King
Ranch in 1916.
