Laurel Closes
Today With
Two Stakes
BY JOSEPH B. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

Laurel was closing out Its
prosperous spring race meeting
today with a stakes double
header aimed at Turing some
$4,000 fans against the compe-
tition Of Silky Sullivan on TV
in Kentucky and the opening
of the New Jersey season at
Garden State.
The first running Of the
SIS, 000-added Maryland Derby
and the first renewal of the
$40, 000-added Spring Turf
Handicap were today's closing
features.
The Maryland Derby, limited
to 3-year-olds foaled in the
Free State. drew nine starters
and the 11s mile Turf feature
a field of ~ grass runners.
In the ls-mile Maryland
Derby, two stakes winning
fillies-Mrs. Walter Edgar's
Milady Dares and Knollwood
Stables Movitave-were ex-
pected to attract the bulk OF
the mutuel backing.
Two Earlier Wins
Milady Dares, carrying III
pounds, was making her first
start since capturing a division
of Jamaica'S Prioress Stakes
and was being piloted by Ar
thur Chambers. Movitave, tor
weighted with 1T today, swept

The World Amateur Golf
Council was to conclude its
FIRST meeting today at the
Sheraton-Park Hotel. The ses-
sion generally has been har-
monious and productive except
for including President Eisen-
hower's suggestion to Include
o few buffers"
The President said he was
serious in an informal talk to
the delegates a few yards from
his practice putting green yes
terday at the White House
when he said lets include
some high handicap players,
buffers from around the world. F."
He said nothing but good can
come from it.
Better Understanding"
Through good sportsman
ship, good friendships formed
on the golf course. through
the days of play and through
meeting so many different peo-
pie of so many countries. you
are bound to go back with a
better understanding Of all
these people"
The tournament organizers
gave the President warm ova-
ton and a medallion comment
Grating the visit with him. But
they found his advice impos-
sible to include in their plans
at their afternoon session fol-
lowing the visit.
Just imagine trying to
match 20 handicap players
from all over the world" a
spokesman said. Think of the
complaints at a club level, and
then magnify them in match
ing amateurs thousands OF
miles apart"
Days Highlight
The visit with President Eli
senhower was the highlight Of
the day for the delegates from
SO free nations here to set in
motion the first worldwide
amateur team golf champion
ship to be held october 8, 8, 10,
IL at st. Andrews, Scotland
The second will be played in the
United States in 1860, the Sec
ond or third week in October
Bids will be accepted later by
the United States Golf Associa-
ton.
The points that caused the
most debate at yesterdays two
sessions were the name OF the
organization, the number OF
players on the teams, and
whether players must be citi-
zens or just residents Of the
country they represent.
World Amateur Golf Coun-
Gil" was decided on as the
name after a tie vote.

son for the discussion on the

The best show in town is
being provided by the startling
second-place Senators. They've
participated in five games de-
cided by one run and won them
all. Their manner Of winning
would get a flock Of drama
students expelled for dreaming
fantastic fiction.
1t was a particularly heart
warming 80 triumph they
notched over the White Sox last
night at Grifnth Stadium in 10
innings, for they gave a
changed Camilo Pascual the
support he deserved in striking
out Is.
Pascual missed by one tying
the Washington mark for
strikeouts. Walter Johnson
famed IA in 1910 and again in
1924, while Jim Shaw hit that
figure in 1914. In the process
Pascual altered his style of
pitching upon the recommended
ton of Coach Boom Boom
Beck, and perhaps discovered
the winning formula.
A worrier on the mound,
Pascual didn't give himself
time to fret last night. He got
the ball back from Catcher
Clint Courtney, took the sign
and fired. He eliminated all
the stewing around and now
he likes the idea.
Becquer's Hit Counts
Beck told me not to take
so much time between pitches, "
Pascual said. "A couple of
the players had told me the
same thing before, but Beck
made it sink in. Maybe now !
win some games"
1t was his Cuban country
man. Julio Becquer. who in
jected the punch at the last
instant to lift Pascual to his
first victory. With one out in
the tenth, Rocky Bridges ripped
a double down the left-f1eld
line. Jim Lemon batted for
Ossie Alvarez and flied deep to
AL Smith in left.
Manager Cookie Lavagetto
dispatched Becquer to the plate
to bat for Pascual amid scat
tered booing from some of the
7,165 customers, and Julio re-
sponded with a single to right
which scored Bridges and
broke up the game.
The pulsating climax is be-
coming routine at Griffith Sta
dunn.
1t was with a single with one
out in the ninth that Becquer
beat Cleveland, 80, Wednesday
night.
Famed First Three
1t was Ed FitzGerald's pinch
single with two out in the ninth
that tied the Yankees, who
were defeated with one out in
