and a one-horse stable. but
Trainer Prank CPancho) Mar
tin will be reaching for that

ManasSa Mauler. who Is some

Born in Cuba, a short distance
from Havana's Oriental Park
Martin began walking "hots'
there when he was l3.
Il learn the language fast"
Martin explained in heavily
accented but understandable
English at Pimlico today. He
also had no trouble finding his
way out Of the Ohio half-mile
jungle. IL was only a year later
that he appeared in New York
with part Of Dave zakoor's split
stable.
So -
Like Hirsch Jacobs and VIII
liam Hal Bishop, Martin takes
pride in his EYE" for a horse
and his knack for spotting the
ones to claim.
He makes it quite clear that
it was he who claimed Manas-
sa Mauler for $12.500 for Emil
Dolce. the Long Island restau-
rant owner. who put up a sup
Elementary fee of $4,000 to
make the 3-year-old colt ELI
gible for Saturdays Preakness.
IT peck the horse, Mr.. Dolce
have nothing to do with it,"
Martin says. That was last
November at Jamaica. One
must admire his judgment be-
cause. at the time, Manassa
Mauler had never won a race
and $l2,500 is a lot Of money
to pay for a horse that had
earned only $3.50, especially for
an owner who had been in the
business only two years.
But 1t was a jackpot selec-
ton that paid of in a shower
of money when Manassa Maui
|er rolled past First Landing
and Our Dad in the Jamaica
stretch to win the Woed
Memorial last month at nearly
GAL for his hackers and $55,915
net for owner Dolce.
Martin wasn't a bit dis
turbed at Manassa Mauler's
loss to Royal Orbit in yester-
days Preakness Prep, saying
his colt needed the race"
At 80, Martin will be one of
the youngest trainers compet-
ing for the Preakness. He is
two years younger than Elliott
Burch, who will saddle the ia
vored Sword Dancer. But, ap-
parently, a trainers age has
little to do with PreakneSs win
nerS.
Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons sad
died Bold Ruler, the 1857 win
ner, when he was 80, and 81
years before that he sent out
Gallant Fox when he was a
nimble Sc. Max Hirsch, who
plans to saddle Black Hills for
King Ranch Saturday, will be
70 in July.
Martin exudes confidence in
discussing the Preakness and
considers the $4,000 supple
mental nomination fee money
well spent.
THE colt won the money
anyway" Martin went on.
Some people like to bet SIS or
$40. Mr.. Dolce is betting $1O,-
900 to get maybe $150,000. /
] theenk it's a good bet"
The young trainer says
Manassa Mauler has had some
trouble with his shins in the
past, but now he is sound and
ready for a top effort. Ac-
cording to Martin, the colt can

Chalk Ties Profits
To Stuff Morale

o. Roy Chalk. president Of D.
c. Transit, last night told q
group Of personnel experts that
success in business does not
necessarily depend on money or
materials but does depend on
employees.
Speaking before a dinner
meeting of the Washington
Personnel Association at the
Kennedy Warren. Mr.. Chalk
pointed out that employe
morale and successful business
take the same path. Each, in q
sense. the flnancier said, is de-
pendent on the other.
When asked If he was more
interested in making money or
in the welfare Of his employees.
Mr.. Chalk said a business that
is doing well and showing con-
sideration and gratitude toward
its workers is a business with
high morale.
