WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
The Old Guard Posseth

BALTIMORE, MAY 1s.-At Louisville it
was established that a present day Ken
lucky Derby could be conducted without
the garnishment of William Hartack, but at
old Pimlico tomorrow the Maryland Jockey
Club really intends to throw caution to the
winds. It will endeavor to hold the 85th
running of the Preakness without the pres
ence of not only Hartack but Eddie Arcaro
and Willie Shoemaker as we'll
1t will have been 16 years since Freak
ness was run without at least one of racing's
Big Three in the saddle. Include Johnny
Longden, another member of the riding
aristocracy, and the calendar moves back
to 1943 which was Count Fleets year The
Pimlico folks, nonetheless feel they stand a
fair chance of pulling off the contest.
When the field minces onto the track
tomorrow to the strains Of Maryland, My
Maryland" Arcaro will be at Aqueduct
climbing into the saddle of the filly Bowl
Of Flowers in the Acorn Stakes. On the
same afternoon Shoemaker will ride New
Policy in the Los Angeles Handicap.
Hartack2 Who knows? A late report
had Hartack still loafing in Florida He
hasn't ridden in three or four weeks and
he not only will have missed the Derby
but the Preakness he won in 1856 aboard
Fabius.
ARCARo HAS RIDDEN five of the nine
horses in the Maryland classic. Hitting
Away, DR.. Miller, Globemaster, Sherluck
and Nashua Blue. Heady Eddie could have
ridden Sherluck tomorrow, instead of
Sammy Boulmetis, but the Acorn Is for
$4,000, no trifling purse, and Arcaro Is
thinking Bowl of Flowers Is more the shoo-
in type.
Shoemaker rode DR.. Miller in the Derby
and wound up fourth, running faster at the
finish than even Carry Back. But his
mount also came from farther behind than
the winner, something like % lengths, and
DR.. Miller's stable wasn't too pleased with
willie's judgment of pace.
Probably he could have ridden DR..
Miller tomorrow" one of Shoemaker's
friends was saying, "but Willie wasn't very
much happier with the horse than the
horse was with him. Like Arcaro he's got
a real live one going for him on the Coast.
New Policy is very good sprinter."
AS for Hartack, it will be remembered
that he once was Garry Backs rider. Had
he stuck with Jack Prices rags riches
colt, Bill would have been even wealthier
than now. But he chose not to ride.

HARTACK WON A SIGNIFICANT race
with Carry Back as a -year-old, the
Cowdwin, but in the Champagne Stakes that
followed the colt failed to break out of the
gate. He simply stood, perhaps for nearly
two seconds, and by the time Garry Back

started to run it was too late even for this
colt.
When Hartack dismounted he puckered
his lips disdainfully and walked away from
the horse that since has won about a half
million dollars, of which the jockey might
have claimed 10 per cent. The Owners
Price didn't think it was all the fault of
Carry Back and they unprotestingly let
Hartack turn in his silks. That's when
Johnny Sellers arrived-just in time to
get fat.
There is mounting respect for Sherlock.
He is trained by the elderly Harold Young,
who has been around for a long time, with
perhaps Thinking Cap his best horse. Har-
tack could have latched onto this colt, too,
last winter in Florida. In fact, a man who
interceded for Young begged Hartack to
take him.
I've known Mr.. Young for years." he
told the rider. when he says he's got a
helluva colt he isn't just talking" But Har-
tack wanted no part of Sherlock. At the
time he was enamored with Vapor Whirl
who turned out to be a sprinter.
THE MR.. PREAKNESS of the riders.
however, is Arcaro, who has ridden in IS
Of the Pimlico classics, dating back to 1885
and Nellie Flagg. She finished up the track
but the next time Eddie rode he won in
1941 with Whirlaway. Then he won with
Citation in 48, Hill Prince in so, Bold in
81, Nashua in IS and Bold Ruler in ST.
Arcaro has been out of the money only
three times.
Hartack took down one of four Freak
nesses, on Fabius in his second outing,
but Shoemaker has yet to prevail, although
he was second with Correlation in "a and
with Sword Dancer in &c. Sandwiched
between was an eighth-place jaunt aboard
Silky Sullivan in SO. Silky was the Garry
Back of his day, except that he couldn't
run much. However, Silky had it all over
the scrawny, tough little Florida-bred in
looks
The Pimlico people don't think the
absence of the illustrious old guard of the
jockeys will hurt their attraction. They
point to such new" riders as Sellers on
Carry Back, Johnny Rotz on Globemaster,
Braulio Baeza on Crozier, Herbie Hinojosa
on DR.. Miller and Bobby Ussery on Hitting
Away.
None is precisely new. Indeed, If USsery
wins it will be for the second straight year
because he was up on Bally Ache in the
S4th running. Ussery probably hasn't got
a mount of the same caliber in Hitting
Away, although after Arcaro gave up on
Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons' colt after the
Wood, Ussery came along and won the
Withers with him.
1T just goes to show" a Pimlico spokes-
man said, that nobody is indispensable.
Not even Arcaro"

Nearly all of the betting

ton No. 4 as the expected field
Of nine 3-year-old colts was
formally entered today at Pim-
lico for tomorrow's 85th Freak
ness, the second richest run
ming Of the historic classic.
If there are no Withdrawals
and none is anticipated, the
Preakness will be worth $178,-
TOO. The winner will take
down $126. 200.
Because the Preakness field
will break in front of the stands
and have a long run to the
clubhouse, no particular i'm
portance was attached to post
position with only nine start
ers. But Trainer Chuck Parke
was delighted with Crozier's No.
3 spot. Crozier is a fast breaker
and races close to the pace.
DR.. Miller's poor luck at the
draw continued as he was
handed the outside No. 9 spot.
In the Kentucky Derby he
broke from the No. Is position.

BALTIMORE, May 19.-The
Senators, hoping the Orioles
are not too refreshed by the
pause occasioned by last nights
postponement, are expected to
have Jim Gentile's bat to con-
tend with as they try to win
their sixth straight game to-
night in Memorial Stadium.
Manager Paul Richards call
ed off last nights game two
hours before starting time on
q couple of lunches. He had
a hunch it might possibly rain
the skies were threatening
and he had another hunch that
the rest would do his be-
leaguered troops some good.
I'D have to say that I wasn't
at all upset to have the game
postponed under the circum-
stances" Richards said.
The circumstances include
key injuries and a five-game
losing streak.
Ready To Go Again
Jackie Brandt, a 1854 batter,
has been out with a sprained
hand since last Friday. Pitchers
Milt Pappas and Chuck Es-
trada, Baltimore's two big win
ners last year, both have been
.ailing.
And Gentle, the 6-foot-4,
215-pound first baseman, in
jured his leg in the first game
of last Sundays double-header
at Cleveland. His departure
coincided with the start of the
Orioles collapse.
But the young man who
swatted two grand-slam hom-
ers in succession in Minnesota
and who tops the league in
homers with II and runs batted

sTURDVANT PITCHES FOR SENATORS
Orioles Expected to Have
Gentle in Action 7 oniqht

Frustrated in their attempts
to trade earlier, the Senators
announced last week that more
emphasis would be put on
player development, but that
they we're not shutting the door
on anyone wishing to talk trade.
Last nights postponed game
probably will become part of
a twi-night double-header
when the Senators return here
for a three-game night series,
June 1914.
The teams have met three
times before, with the Orioles
sweeping the series in Wash
ington.
Joe McClain, who has a 4-2
record, will pitch for Washing
ton tomorrow afternoon against
Hal Skinny Brown Old.
NOTES: Billy Klaus, off to a
bad start, now has hit safely
in his last six games to raise
his batting average by IS
points. Dale Long is a .273
hitter over the last seven games.
. Jim King is a 1888 hitter
since joining the regular lineup
and his 10 hits include two
homers and three doubles. .
Gene Woodling, his ailing knee
responding, hopes to get into
action tonight. Pitcher
Dick Donovan's injured side is
taking longer to heal than he
had expected. Sturdivant
will carry 9-3 lifetime mark
against the Orioles tonight.

in with 81, says he's ready to
go again.
Tom Sturdivant. who be-
fuddled the Red Sox with a
one-hitter to start the Sen
ators on their merry binge, will
try to curb the Orioles tonight.
Billy Hoeft, who pitched nine
scorelesS innings against the
Indians last Sunday in his first
start since 1859, will go for the
Orioles, who-of all things
are in danger of being over
taken by the patched-up Sem
ators in the standings.
A Washington victory tonight
would give. the expansion club
a 1917 record and the Orioles
a 1917 mark.
At the start of the season,
such a development was con-
sidered about as likely as
the Yankees trading Mickey
Mantle and Roger MariS even
up to the Senators for Relief
Pitcher Dave SiSler.
Now the Yankees. and every
body else. suddenly see new
value in SiSler and other stand
out members of Washington's
surprising pitching staff.
Trading Market Stirs
The trading market, though
not alive with activity, is STIR
ring a bit as a result of the
recent accomplishments of
Manager Mickey Vernon's won-
derS.
General Manager Ed Doherty
reports that other clubs are be-
ing less ridiculous in their con-
versations than in the past.
The Senators wouldn't mind
latching onto a solid, left
handed hitting catcher or
somebody who would strength

example, had more than 100 requests for help last

with their home" he said.
Every time we get such a CALL we must launch a

The communications check he said, involves calling
vessels in the where the loS fisherman supposed
to be, and checking police sheriffs and marinas.

added" Usually the fisherman has tied up at some out
