A race-hungry crowd of 25,917
swarmed into Bowie yesterday to
Establish an all-time attendance
record for the 42-year-old South
ern Maryland track, and watched
Dark Charger. Mrs. Helen W.
Kellogg's 3-year-old FLY. sprint
to a clever victory in the $4,000
Miss Maryland Stakes.
The balmy weather lured fans
from all over the East to the
track in the pines for the first
weekend program of the new
season. Thousands were strand
ed outside the track for the daily
double betting in a massive traf-
tfic jam as parking lots were
strained to capacity.
With the huge throng gradu-
ally working its way into the
enclosure, wagering picked up
sharply after the second race,
and totaled $1.635.057 on the
eight races, nearly doubling the
opening-day handle. However,
it fell short of the record Of
$1,998,470 set December S, 1858.
Yesterdays attendance sur
passed the former Bowie mark
of 23,640 set April 2, 1949.
The battle to get into the
track and then to the windows
was hardly worth it for the
favorite players who received
only a slight return on Dark
Chargers triumph in the Miss
Maryland Stakes at 512 furlongs
In all, seven choices were
beaten in eight races, including
two odds-on favorites ridden by
Willie Hartack.
Dark Charger won more easily

MELBOURNE, Mar. 10 P.-
John Landy, world mile record
holder, earned a special spot in
Australian sports today-by pass
ing up the chance Of another
record and jeopardizing his
Olympic team berth to help a
fallen teammate.
The Australian star appeared
on his way to another under-4-
minute mile in the Australian
championships at Melbourne
Olympic Park Arena. But a fell
low runner tripped and fell $40
yards from the finish. Landy
stopped, turned to help but was
urged on by the prone runner
Ron Clarke: Get going, John
ISee you later. Don't worry about
me"
And Landy got going. He made
up the 80 yards he had lost,
overlook the leaders and won in
4 minutes, 40 seconds. The stop
cost him the chance of better
ing his own time of 1858.
Franz Stampfl. the Austrian
coach who trained Roger Ban
mister to the worlds first Amin
ute mile. said 1T was the most
gallant action I have seen in q
lifetime of athletics.
"Landy is the sort of man who
would do that. An Olympic
Games berth was at stake but
that did not matter to Landy
All that worried him was the
man on the ground"
The 10000 fans in the stadium
roared their appreciation a;
Landy stepped on to the winners
rostrum after taking the cham
pionship by Is yards from his
nearest rival, Alec Henderson Of
New South Wales. Merv Lincoln
of Victoria came in third.
The 80 yards that Landy lost
by stopping to help Clarke prob
ably cost him five or six seconds

Bobby Brocoto Takes
Rich Grass Handicap

Alibi, with Eddie Arcaro in the

The victory brought a net OF
$4,000 to Kerr, wealthy Okla
homa City Gilman who bought
Bobby Brocato last year, along
with three other horses, fol
$685. 900.
Bobby Brocato's main claim tt
attention in the past was as
Splinter, having won the ,Tobog
gan and Carter Handicap in New
York. But Molter trained hin
for distances and he responded
with an easy victory in the Santa
Anita Handicap at a mile anc
one-quarter and today's long
haul. He carried 124 pounds, two
pounds less than Social OutcaSt
the lightweight of the field.
Takes Lead Quickly
Llangollen Farms Mister Gus
broke first from the gate on the
grass course back and high above
the backstretch of the regular
dirt track. But Bobby Brocato
grabbed the lead within a step
and there was no catching him
Mrs. Edward Lasker's Lych-
nus, Mister Gus and Alidon
made up the rest of the front
runners, and the procession kept
much that order down and onto
the strip inside the main track
and on around the clubhouse
turn. At this stage, Social Out
cast led only two horses.
Eric Guerin began to move
with the Vanderbilt gelding well
down the backside, and so did
Valenzuela on Manotick. Then
on came Honeys Alibi, but none
could collar the winner.
The order of finish behind
the first four was Mister Gus,
Blue Volt, Allied, Alidon, Near
que II. Trackmaster. Lychnus,
Our Betters and Mintaka.
The betting handled today
was $4,079,261 on the eight-race
card. 1t was the seventh time
Santa Anita had exceeded 81
million.

This was Santee's second race

Senators Drub Tigers 3d.
As Berberet Tops Slugging
Ru1neIs and Fitz
Also Homer, But
Fielding SIumps
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star STAFF Correspondent

LAKELAND. Fla, Mar. TO-
The remodeled Senators flexed
their muscles Sporadically today
and walloped the Detroit Tigers.
80, as Lou Berberet, Pete Rum
nels and Ed FITZGERALD con-
tributed home runs in the OPEN
ing exhibition game for both
clubs.
Berberet, husky receiver &C
.quired from the Yankees, led
the nine-hit assault on four
pitchers. supplying a robust
double in addition to his mighty
450-foot, three-run homer in the
second inning which featured q
four-run uprising against tow
Iering Jim Burning.
Meanwhile, Dick Brodowski.
Bob Chakales and Ted Aber-
nathy restricted the rookie
lsplashed Detroit lineup to eight
hits. Alternately was the most
impressive, yielding only a single
in his three-inning effort and
striking out four.
Jose Valdivielso contributed o
triple and single to the Senators
attack, but all was not gleeful in
the revised Washington batting
order.
Plews, Becquer Suffer
Herb Plews, also a former
Yankee chattel, put. in a miser-
able afternoon. He committed
three errors and famed twice
while going hitless in four at
tempts. Julio Becquer, hoping
to revise plans to make a first
basemen of Roy Sievers, &C
complished nothing toward that
objective. He struck out three
times and went hitless in five
efforts. Karl Olson, picked up
from the Red Sox, also failed to
hit in four tries.
Manager Bucky Harris of the
Tigers sent Burning, Bill Froats,
Joe Presko and Bobby Tiefenauer
to the mound and each was
damaged. Froats was clipped for
two runs in the fourth inning,
while Presko was the victim Of
Runnels' fifth-inning homer.
Tiefenauer was welcomed into
the game in the eighth by Fitz-
Gerald's clout over the leftfleld
wall.
Berberet Hits Wires
The Senators second-inning
uprising against Burning was
launched when Runnels walked.
Olson flied out, but Harmon Kill
Hebrew drilled a single to left
Ito set up Berberet's booming
shot which struck telephone
wires high above the right
centerf1eld fence.
i Valdivielso followed with a
triple to right and Brodowski.
formerly Of the Red Sox,
brought him across with a neatly
executed suicide squeeze bunt
down the f1rst-base line.
The Tigers obtained a run in
the third after Plews permitted
Buddy Hicks grounder to escape
him for a two-base error. Plews
improved when Jim Delsing also
sent a grounder in his direction,
He bobbled that, too, but it was
a mere one-base error as Hicks
scored.
The Senators lifted their adj
vantage to 6-1 against Froats, a
Ilefthander who had a combined
5-12 record. with Buffalo and
Augusta last season. Killebrew
walked and Berberet thumped
the rightfield fence with his
double. ValdivielSo's grounder to
short got Killebrew home, and
Berberet scored when Johnny
Groth batted for Brodowski and
singled to center.
Errors Hurt Chakales
Detroit's other run stemmed
from errors in the fourth inning
after Charley Lau singled off
Chakales with one down. Kille-
brew let Pinch-hitter j. w.
