WIN, LOSE OR
DRAW By FRANCIS s1Auu
Now It's an Official Derby

FOR A WHILE IT LOOKED as If the upcomng Ken
lucky Derby wasn't going to be official No Eddie Arcaro
Not at least, on good mount.
But now The Master finds himself happily committed
to very good colt Jewels Reward He could be the best
When last seen, Mrs Elizabeth Grahams first
under the wire in the Flamingo at Hialeah.
The stewards you may remember, took Jewels number
down and suspended Jockey Manuel Ycaza for humping
Tim Tam down the stretch Ycazas ride cost Mrs
Graham the $4,000, but the lady indicated that she
sticking to the tempestuous Panamanian
But that before Ycaza moved up to New York
and into trouble with the stewards, first with
Ebony PEARL and again this week with Restless Wind
Obviously, Mrs. Graham's patience thin. Eddie
Arcaro was standing in the wings all but wearing sign
reading, Have tack will travel"
Them that has. gets. Arcaro. who has won five
Derbys has been shopping for Derby mount for
than year. As free-ance rider, The Master free
to pick and choose. He picked dllies First Misty
Flight Then Old Pueblo. Most recently thing called
Candestine.
None has solid recommendations. But Jewels Reward
has. Well all know on Saturday when Arcaro and
Jewels Reward go in the $4,000 Wood Memorial
DISTINGUISHED VISITOR to our town, Jack
Kramer blew in and blew out He departed quickly and
voluntarily.
"Ive got to find out IL we do anything for Lew
Hoad" Tennis Promoter Kramer explained while at brisk
tro to reon his troupe This Saturday you know Pancho
Gonzales and Hoad play might stand at Ulne Arena.
Jack admitted mo, don't think Hoad is discouraged
He's fighter and fine player STILL I'm anxious to talk
with him. Maybe we can figure way to stop Pancho"
When the Gonzales-Hoad tour, began Kramers tightly
wound Australian jumped off to 1Stos lead the
world champion Suddenly the tide shifted As Kramer
left to hold hands with Hoad and map new strategy
Pancho had won "a Of the last 20 and leading 1928
Last night Hoad snapped his losing streak in East
Orange, N. J.
Kramer, who of al-tme net greats
dnoep'f IN ha efr r{rs
businessman. With As matches st TO played isn't
box office for Gonzales to be off and hiding Secondly
Kramer and Pancho never have been friendly.
I'VE GOT NOTHING against Pancho, personally"
Jack saying ITS just that he's hard to do business
with He's stubborn, hard to manange
Funny part of it. Pancho was a real nice guy when
Hoad was licking him. At times he acted If he might
listen to me once in a while.
Nov he's riding high again and he's mean Still I
guess that's the way athlete got win in order
to stay top should behave Nearly all the real good
competitors Dempsey, Durocher, Cobb and quite
few others were that way"
Kramer thinks his feud with Gonzales started when
he and Pancho headlned the tour few years ago. I'VE
played for blood" he said Il was Just as determined as
he Well, beat him, 90 to o. and as far as can
see, Pancho's still sore at You see, next signed
Frank sedgman and, while didn't originally intend to
play any more, lot of fans thought had bigger name
than Gonzales and wanted the match"
AFTER sEDGMAN EXTENDED but failed to de-
throne his boss, Kramer signed Tony Trabert. Some
people wanted me to play Trabert too Jack said but
was over the hill knew 1t. So Gonzales took my place
and showed that he was the greatest in the game.
Now Hoad, he was too quick for Pancho at first He
was handling those bullet pretty we'll and out
volleyng Gonzales. Then Pancho got to thinking He
marked down slight weakness in Hoads game whenever
he saw one, and capitalized on it.
HE developed backhand crosscourt passing shot,
Tor one thing He also takes his sweet time getting
set to play, and that has been driving Lew crazy
$50 I'm off to catch up with Hoad try staighten
him out The way like to look at It, Hoad good
when he turned pro that he forced Gonzales into be-
coming better player But I'll be frank about Pancho
I didn't think he could do It,"
you mean, catch up and pass HoadP" he was asked
WELL I didn't think Pancho smart enough to
pfey on Hoads errors the way he's DONE Give the devil
hi'' dues. he's smarter than thought he was"
