is a change in the lineup. Man.

If a manager is going to play,
a position behind the plate

certainly is a vantage point.
Martz caught the last two VIC

positions will start the Plumbers
off in the Old Dominion circuit.

|Adios Harry
is Favorite for
Triple Crown

Adios Harry, who set a worlds
record for 1/16 miles last week
at Rosecroft, gets another shot
at the mile mark tonight at the
IOxon Hill harness track.
The great PAGER heads a field
of six free-for-all stars, including
his big rival of the 1856 sea-
son, Philip Scott, in the first
$4,000 leg of Maryland's Triple
Crown" pacing series.
He'll be shooting for the
1:583S standard for a half mile
track set three years ago by
Maryland's own Hi-Lo Forbes.
This is about the only worlds
record Adios Harry has not yet
shattered, although he came
close last year when he raced
the distance in 1895 at Roose-
welt Raceway.
Adios Harry is the 8-to-5
favorite in the early line for
tonight's big race. The second
$4,000 leg will be held during
the 24-night meeting opening
next Monday at Laurel Race
way. with the third leg sched-
uled in the fall at Baltimore
Raceway.
Mrs. Alice v. Miller's Hillsota,
who will be in the field again
tonight, captured two of the
three legs of the Triple Crown"
in 1854. Last year Adios Boy,
half-brother of Adios Harry, won
two out of three.
Philip Scott, who upset Adios
Harry at Rosecroft two weeks
ago, is the 5-to-2 second choice
tonight and will start from the
No. post. Others will be Will
nington's Star. Hundred Proof
and B'Haven.
A crowd of 10.083, largest of
the season at Rosecroft, turned
out last night and wagered
1858, 623, also a record for the
meeting.

Nine-HorseFie|d
In Dixie Headed
By Blue Choir
BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

BALTIMORE, May S0.-One
of the best turf races yet pre-
scented this year headlined Pim-
lico's Memorial Day program
and officials looked for a big day
despite competition from both
Delaware Park and Garden State.
Nine horses were entered in
the featured Dixie Handicap at
a mile and three-eights on grass,
with Mrs. H. l.. Nathenson's Blue
Choir top-weighted at 126 pounds.
The field included the horses
who finished second and third
behind the imported st. Vincent
in last years Dixie. They are
c. Mahlon Kline's Raster, who
will carry lit. and Greentree
Stables Maharajah, who figures
to be a formidable contender
today under ITO pounds.
Blue Choir, an Irish bred i'm
port, must concede from 9 to II
pounds to his rivals, who include
North Downs Farms ocean
Lane, 113, Mrs. Louise K. Dono-
vans Rock Cottage. ITO, Milford
H. Dinker's Afford, 100, Cockfield
Stables Akbar Khan, ITO, Fox
catcher FARMS elevation, 1T
and Mrs. j. r. H. Thourons
Tough Rec, 116.
Brooks on Blue Choir
Steve Brooks came all the way
from Chicago to handle Blue
Choir, one of the top grass per-
formers in training. Teddy At
kinSon is down from New York
to ride Maharajah, and neither
are here to view the scenery. But
both have their work cut out for
them.
Tough Rec, with Jackie West
rope up, set a Belmont Park rec
ord for the Dixie distance two
weeks ago. 2:171s. and an encore
today would make him tough to
beat. elevation was second in
that race by IA lengths after
being backed down to the role of
favorite.
elevation was second to Blue
Choir in last years United Ma
tons at Atlantic City, and was
runnerup to Summer Solstice in
last winters Bougainvillea Hand
leap on grass at Hialeah. He
always has run we'll on the turf,
at a distance, which
makes the Dixie seem to be right
up his alley.
Ready for Busy Year
Blue Choir, however, is just
getting back to the races after
a hard 1855 campaign. in which
he won the Balmoral. Grassland,
Foreign Bred and United Ma
tons. The imported Irish-bred
earned $186,095 last year. and in
finishing third under 1877 pounds
in the Continental at Washington
Park on May 10, he indicated
that he's ready for another busy
year.

BASEBALL RESULTS
TO DECIDE SITE OF
TWIN CITIES FIGHT

ST. PAUL, Mimi. May 80
(Pl. - Deadlocked boxing
promoters in Minneapolis
and st. Paul came up today
with an unusual solution for
the location of a fight in
volving a pair of middle
weight rivals. They decided
to let the outcome of today's
double-heaoer between the
Minneapolis Millers and st.
Paul Saints decide the site.
Minneapolis promoters for
weeks have insisted that a
June bout between Joe
Schmolze of Minneapolis
and Jim Hergerle of st. Paul
should be held in Mime
apolis. st. Paul was just as
insistent that it be held
here.
The baseball idea appeases
everybody. If the American
Association rivals split total
runs will be used to settle
the fight issue. If the runs
come out even, it's the hits
that count.

1t comes as no surprise that
Atchison g. Keller is leading
the Gauzza League. but the
Plumbers have come up with a
surprise package in their man
ager.
Under Jack Hoffman, who
played first base and was the
leading hitter in the Interhigh
League at Eastern in 1941, AK
won the Gauzza League title
last year. 1t went on to the
Atlantic Seaboard champion
ship.
Hoffman. manager of the
Plumbers the last four seasons
and a prominent figure in sand
lot baseball since leaving East
ern. has dropped out. Calling
the shots this year is Player
manager Edsel Martz.
Martz, like Hoffman, is a
product of Eastern High. In
fact. most of the team at one
time or another played with the
Ramblers.
X 4
Atchison a. Keller, playing
twice week in the Gauzza cir
cult, has Al record. In the
faster Old Dominion League on
Sundays AK is %. but Martz
believes his club will move up
in the next few weeks.
We've picked up a few play
ers who should help us, partic-
ularly pitching" Martz says.
One addition is Outfielder Pat
Clarke who played for Maryland
University this season. He is
the son Of Morris Clarke, presi-
dent of the Washington ANA
teur Baseball Association.
But over the long haul Martz
is counting on his old standbys
from Eastern-such players as
Sonny Settle. Duke Coppage, AL
Guidreda. Ralph Sta, Bubba
Kallas. Gino D'Ambrosio, Pete
Settle and Paul Schoefer.
AK has balance. Sonny
Settle, Coppage and Martz have
been doing most Of the hitting.
The pitching is coming from
Paul Willis, the lean veteran only

Chamberlain High player.

O OUTDOORS
With BILL LEETcH

We're just back from a trout
fishing expedition to Pennsyl-
vania. where we put in a fine
day in pursuit of native brown
trout under the tutelage of John
Alden knight, whom we con-
slider tops as a freshwater angler
The trout were there, because
we saw them in numbers, but we
could not catch them. We flshed
during the afternoon under ad-
verse conditions of high head
winds and dropping tempera-
ture. Jack finally landed one
little fellow which he released
and hooked another, which even
tually sawed off his leader
against the edge of a rock while
he was.trying to fit me into the
picture. That was the works,
We pricked and downed one
brownie.
If we had been after meat we
would have returned disconso-
late. AS it was, both of us
learned once more the futility
of bucking Mother Nature and
hoping to come out on top, yet
we had a swell afternoon, revel-
ing in magnificent scenery and
enjoying the good companion
ship given to those who love the
outdoors in all of natures
moods. We came home with
king-size appetiteS which we
satiated with juicy filet mignons,
and slept the sleep granted those
with clear consciences and good
digestions. Next trip we'll git
'em.
A letter from Capt. Talbot
Bunting at Ocean City tells of
the first trips after bluefish last
week end. Capt. George Willis
party of Baltimoreans took Al
bluefish. Another party of an
glers from Salisbury, Md, fish
ing with Capt George Ed Hudson
on the Belinda, came in with 10
blues. Cecil Carrier, Wendell Bill
ling, Carl Puskett of Arlington
and Frank Elston of Winchester.
Va, caught II bluef1sh boating
with Capt. "Hoss" Halter.
The blueflsll were not Schooled
but were picked up singly here
and there from the shoals off
Ocean City out to the Jack Spot.
Capt. Bunting believes they are
the forerunners of the larger fish
which may possibly show this
week end. They ranged in size
from one to two and a half
pounds. Other anglers bottom
fishing at the wrecks northeast
of Ocean City brought in 673
porgieS and sea bass ranging up
to four and a half pounds.
Sounds like fishing down there
has at last started in earnest.
