Burr Grim Returns
To Track Saturday
In Florida ReIuys

Burr Grim, the University Of
Maryland's IC-4A mile cham
pion, will get his first running
test since his operation last
summer when he goes in the
Florida Relays at Gainesville
Saturday.
Grim, who took the IC-4A
mile with a 4:09.9 clocking last
spring, came up with a back all
ment last summer that required
an operation, and it was thought
his running career might be
ended.
Maryland, recent winner of
the Atlantic Coast Conference
indoor team championship, will
send several other star trackmen
to Gainesville. Among them
will be Ed Lloyd, the ACC indoor
broad jump champion, and Mel
Schwarz, the ACC indoor and
outdoor pole vault champion and
holder of the school record at IA
feet.
The Terps also will have relay
teams in the mile, two-mile,
sprint medley and distance med
ley. 1t will be on one of the
distance relay teams that Grim
runs Saturday.

AT THE RACES
With JOE KELLY

was nipped on the money by So
cial Outcast's nose.
You know he carried 1875
pounds in that race. the same
as Social Outcast, although 1t
was his first start of the year.
Veitch points out.
Speaking of the weights for
this years running OF the same
race. Veitch said compassionate
ly for Fisherman:
They'll probably pile it on
him again, like always, although
he hasn't been on the track for
almost year"
But Veitch will depend on his
ability for sharpening Fisherman
for the race after a winter Of
recuperation in South Carolina
rather than his effectiveness in
trying to argue weight off his
little campaigner.
Nothing would please the
affable Veitch more than a vic
tory for Fisherman in the Camp
bell for a number Of reasons.
One of them would be winning
another big race in Maryland
where he spent a good part of
his boyhood days.
Although he was born in New
York and now makes his home
in Lexington, KY, Veitch con-
siders himself very much a
Marylander.
MY dad (Cy Veitch), put me
in the hands of Father Joseph
Myer of Laurel for my first two
grades of school and then I went
to Mount Washington Academy
near Pimlico," he relates.
Later he attended Calvert Hall
Prep School in Baltimore before
he eventually got around to as
he says "gyping around the race
tracks" which preceded his job
with Whitney.

You would think a fellow with
six Kentucky Derby candidates
on his hands. one of them a
Swapping, distance-loving colt
named Career Boy. would be get
ting a little excited this time OF
the year with the first Saturday
in May at Louisville bearing
down on him.
But Trainer Sylvester Veitch
speaks about his Derby chances
with detached calmness, even
after Head Mans impressive
three-year old debut on Monday,
although he comedies it could
be his year.
It is well established that
training race horses will mellow
a man but Veitch is past that
stage, being an experience
nodded philosopher. who has
specialized in emotional adjust
ments to nose defeats.
How do you sympathize with
a man who last year alone, lost
the Campbell Handicap at Bowie
with Fisherman by a nose and
who watched Career Boy just
fail to get up by a nose to catch
Prince John in the Garden State
for a net of $157,9l6.50?
There was some retroactive
satisfaction to that nose loss in
the Garden State, however.
Needles, now the Derby favorite.
was a length behind Career Boy
in the mile-and-a sixteenth
Garden State.
The six Derby colts for the
Cornelius v. Whitney barn are
Career Boy, Head Man, Born
Mighty, Gunner Boy, Jazz Age
and Masonic, but Veitch does
not think he will show UP at
Churchill Downs with six-ply
entry. He is inclined to believe
that he might run two of them
and Head Man is his choice
right at the moment to compile
ment the big horse" Career
Boy.
Veitch explains that Career
Boy is strong and fit and just
about ready for a race. Bowie
fans might be in for an lnex-
pected treat as Veitch says ne
probably will van Career Boy
to Bowie from Belmont for an
allowance race in a few days.
Now a commuter between
Bowie and Belmont, where the
major section of the Whitney
stable, numbering 80 head, is
quartered, Veitch is concentrat-
ing on one of his favorite pupils
for Bowie's 100000 Campbell
on April 7.
You just have to fall in love
with him" is the way Veitch
puts it, when speaking about
Fisherman.

Veitch explains that Fisher
mans leg is completely sound
after cracking his shin bone q

Handicap on the turf last May
The quiet-spoken trainer. who
has been conditioning Whitney's
horses since 1899, cannot think
of a better way of starting the
year than Fisherman winning

No more than nine horses
could be considered probable
starters for the 100000 Camp
bell Memorial Handicap April Z
at Bowie as track officials sur
veyed the list of eligibles today.
A glaring absentee on the list
of probables for Maryland's rich
est race for older horses is Rex
Ellsworth's Swaps, still stabbed
at, Gulfstream Park. Increased
purses at the Florida track are
now considered likely to keep
the Ellsworth string there.
Despite his defeat in the Cult
stream Park Handicap on March
III, Nashua heads the lineup for
the Campbell.
Right behind Nashua is his
conqueror in the Gulfstream
handicap, Brookmeade Farm
Sailor. The surprise winner OF
last falls Pimlico Special is also
in Florida where the stable is
awaiting the publication of the
Campbell weights next Monday.
The other Campbell probables
are Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs Joe
Jones, winner of last Saturdays
Bowie Handicap; Maine Chance
Farms Jet Action, Mrs. E. E.
Robbins Midafternoon, Miss
Ann Uhlar's AIMS Love, Alfred
G. Vanderbilt's pair of Find and
Social Outcast, and Cornelius v.
Whitney's Fisherman.
With the exception of Sailor,
Nashua, who is at Aqueduct, and
Jet Action, also in Florida, the
rest of the probable field is at
Bowie.
Find, third in the Gulfstream
Handicap, and Sometime Thing,
who will represent Vanderbilt
in Saturdays $4,000 Barbara
Frietchie Handicap for fillies

day from New York.

races yesterday. limbering up

quarters but was not asked for
