Trial and TribuIotion

Duke snider ouwardly at least, than Vice President
Buzzy Bavasi of the Dodgers had to slap $500 fine on
Don Newcombe for staying out all night Probably that
earned run average drove Newcombe on a spree It is
horrendous 1853, worst in the National League
For last-place club the Dodgers be one of the
most written about OF all time They're not playing good
ball. they're not using good judgment and by tomorrow
tney may not even have ball park That's the day the
voters Of Los Angeles decide for or against Proposition
which outlines whether the city will turn over sI5 acres
in Chavez Rayne in exchange for Wrgley Field the old
Pacific Coast League park.
That is lot of ground 315 acres for a ball mark
even If the Dodgers have to build 40-acre recreation
center, as proposed Griffith stadum-the whole works
including the parking area-occupies only acres but
Walter oMalley is aiming high Can't blame him for it
much.
BUT IF THE VOTERS FAIL to back the contract
which the city council approved last fall 10 to then
words really will fly Where will the Dodgers play? Wrigey
Field Is too small and the Coliseum too large Back to
Brooklyn? The New York newspapers will have a Roman
circus with OMaey standing in the center in front
Of all the lions.
Meanwhile, Bavas got little encouragement over
the week end when Snider began to stop acting like
22S hitter The Duke isn't out Of BavasS dog house yet
but the door isn't as far away last week when
BaVas speaking on the ST. Louis Cardinal radio network
blasted the big outfelder.
AZ have sympathy for some of the silly things he
has done, such as that automobile accident in Florida
and hurting his trying to throw ball out of the
Coliseum" Bavas aired
Took BavaSi while to cool down, too because he
followed up his rap in Milwaukee later Dukes record)
with hve runs batted in to me to be the most
significant and the most eloquen-and ndcting" Buzzy
added
Now it's Newcombes turn.
NOW THAT BOLD RULER put away Tick Took and
Gallant Man in the Carter Handicap under 1875 pounds
the next big one will be the Metropolitan June IA and
remains to be what Handicapped Jimmy Kilroe will
put on Bold Ruler for that one And on Gallant Man.
n he acN
with 1913 pounds
Apparently Eddie Arcaro feels that any weight within
reason will be ably carried by the 4-year-od son of
NasrullahMiss Disco of whom Arcaro said This is the
best sprnting so-and-so ever sat on said so to Mr.
Fz (Bod Rulers traner) last October and say again.
Last year, it may be recalled, there was talk of
match race between Bold Ruler and Decathlon 1857
sprint champion 1t never took place. Instead Ruler
licked Round Table and Gallant Man in the Trenton
Handicap at mile and quarter to win 3-year-od and
horse -the-year acclaim.
OF the match that never came Off Arcaro said:
y just wanted enough notice I could get my money
from the bank"
IF DREW DUNLAP, the Texas sophomore is telling
the story right maybe track meet officials should
turn in their badges On the evidence so far the officials
behaved shameess the other day when Dunlap set the
pace and dropped out after half mile while Herb Elliott
went on to set worlds record mile that may be dsaowed
Il can't understand it at ALL" Dunlap told the Fort
Worth Telegram. II just did what the meet officials
wanted me to do-Set the pace don't understand vhy
the meet officials won't admit their part in the plan"
The skirts of Elliott himself aren't any too clean If
the Texan is right In his poSt-race statement Elliott
Indicated that he didn't know there was PAGER in the
field.
He knew it," Dunlap retorted II was standing by
the track when Mr. Houston larry Houston meet drec
tori asked him if they wanted a PAGER"
