Jockey Tony DeSpirito, who
lost much valuable time and al
most lost his life in q series
of spills and illnesses, is faced
with a tough decision.
DeSpirito rode his first win
ner in 10 months when he
scored aboard Nisht Amool
after a great stretch run at
Hialeah yesterday. He must
choose between that colt and
Mrs. Elizabeth Graham's Lib
erty Ruler in Saturdays Ever

Original plans were for De-
Spirito to ride Nisht Amool,
but Mrs. Graham. mistress OF
Maine Chance Farm, grabbed
him in the winners circle and
asked him to handle Liberty
Ruler.
In the outburst over De-
Spirito's victry the fans largely
overlooked a stirring stretch
drive reminiscent of the famed
old campaigner, Stymie.
Tony's mount was sired by
Stymie, one Of horse racing's
great -flnishers. Stymie came
from ninth in an 11-horse field
in the 1914 Flamingo to finish
third behind Stir Up and Sky

Comparing Hoad with some
of the masters Of the past, the
Los Angeles ace said:
HE is the toughest man I've
faced since Jack Kramer. He is
much quicker than Jack was
and he hits the ball harder,
but Jack was more consistent
in returning service.
People think Frank Sedg-
man was quick on his feet and
had sharp reflexes. Lew is
quicker and faster. He has
tremendous hand movement.
It's almost impossible to angle
a shot past him at the net.
I'm the backcourt. he re-
minds me a lot of Bill Tilden
and Don Bulge. He has mar
VelouS anticipation. Inere II
not a shot he can't get to, not
q shot he can't make.
"His game temperament is
unmatchable. He is uncon-
scious out there. it seems, al
most without nerves. He is
perfectly relaxed. Whether the
score is 40-15 or 0-40, he
makes every shot alike-bold
and strong.

management will present him
a silver plate when he brings
in No. 1000. Arcaro could not
reach that mark today, how

rode a winner for the first time

last summer because Of a broken
ankle suffered at Del Mar.
Longden won the eighth race

The second running Of the
Abraham Lincoln, at 5l2 fur
longs, lined up as a rerun OF
the Early Bird, with eight
rivals expected to try to catch
Pine Echo, owned and trained
by Edward Siravo.
Pine Echo was slated to carry
119 pounds, the same weight
as last Saturday, and Jockey
William Passmore was again
in the saddle. Passmore was
not blamed by the stewards
when Pine Echo drifted out
under him Saturday. Pine Echo
was moved back to third for
the infraction.
George Parker's Sand Boy

returned today with three adj
ditional pounds up-ll3-after
being beaten a half length by
Pine Echo. Mrs. william B.
