NEW YORK, JUNE S.-Only a miracle.
nearly everybody conceded this cloudy
rainy forenoon, could land Cramps in the
winners circle after the 93d Belmont
Stakes. Cramps is Johnny Longden, age
S4, who is not only the oldest race rider
but the winningest in history.
The old pappy guys mount was Flut-
terby, son of Moor. Naturally, Longden
also had ridden the sire, who beat the
great Citation five times. AS a matter of
fact, many people won't bet that Longden
didn't ride Eclipse, Matchem and Herod,
those to which the ancestry of all thor
oughbreds is traced. That's how ageless
this bald-headed, leather tough diminutive
millionaire appears to be.
Even the most sentimental punters
today were not liking Flutterby's chances
too well because they indicated in the most
practical manner possible-money on the
line-a preference not only for Garry Back
but AmbiopoiSe, Bal Musette, DR.. Miller and
Globemaster as well. And yet the sight of
Longden on a horse while the band
played Sidewalks of New York" called up
memories.
Carry Back was far and away the
equine choice of sentimentalists, to whom
he has endeared himself in the best
Horatio Alger tradition But, by the same
token, Longden had to be the sentimental
jockey choice.
THE FIRST TIME New Workers. saw
the gnarled, 110-pound English-b born rider
in Belmont was back in 1888, when
Grandpa Longden rode horse called Magic
Hour and finished fifth. This was the
same year that Johnny Sellers, who is Garry
Backs regular and prospering rider, was
born.
Longden didn't fare much better in
1910 aboard Century Note but he hit the
jackpot in 43. That was Count Fleets
year, when Mrs. John D. Hertz's colt won
the Triple Crown and, additionally, won
supporters as one of the greatest horses
of all time.
Count Fleet, of course, could have won
If Jackie Gleason had been riding The
3-year-oldS of his time (did somebody say
they were mostly 4-FS?) wanted no part
of Count Fleet after he had won the Ken
lucky Derby and Preakness. AS result
only two rivals, which is gracious term,
showed up on Belmont Day. They were
Fairy Manhurst and Deseronto, and they
may as well have been kept in their barns.
Longden and Count Fleet made every post
winning one and sromped by 25 lengths.
That was the next to last time Longden
was seen in aBeiHont; He tried in 46 with
Mahout, finished up the track, and so today
ended an absence of Is years for Cramps

Grandpa Longden Rides Again

in the 11a-miIe marathon. He'd bob UP
at Churchill Downs pretty regularly, com
ing from his adopted California with the
almost annual Far Western threats but
except for '43, he never scored in the Derby
after nine tries.
JOHNNY RODE FLUTTERBY in the
Derby last month and wound up eighth
His son Vance, who trains the colt passed
up the PreakneSS after that dismal showing
and shipped to Chicago. Then, week
ago, Flutterby won the Sheridan Handicap
by coming from leftfield. Bill Hartack,
not Longden, was on the colt in the
Sheridan. Inasmuch as Hartack did not
enrich the Derby with his presence in any
capacity, it might be logical to assume
that Flutterby, himself, was impressed by
Garry Backs style of coming far off the
pace. He was, at least, in excellent posi-
ton to observe the technique. Flutterby
was one of the horses that c. B. fluttered by.
Anyway, what the Alberta Ranch'S
colt did under Hartack in the Sheridan
earned him today'S start in the Belmont.
But now it was Longden back in the saddle,
perhaps for his last Belmont fling. Per-
haps. Don't bet on it.
Odd as it may sound, Iongden virtu-
ally was introducing himself to whole
new generation of New York racing bluffs
this afternoon Fifteen years is big gap
and some of the younger set know Of
Johnny only by reputation. Most Of his
riding over the last three decades and
longer had been on the West Coast, al
though he also has competed in England
andgAustralia. -
THE OLD MANS total of victories,
approximately $500, puts him well ahead
OF Eddie Arcaro at about 4,700> and Willie
ShDepaaker at some 4,03O. AS far back as
September 8, 1885,, Longden passed the
previous high by any jockey, who was Sir
Gordon Richards of England with 4,87O.
What makes Grandpa ride? Surely it
cannot be the money. Arcaro is reputed
to be a millionaire but Longden is richer.
Why does Johnny suffer in the sweat box,
trying to battle weight? Why does he ask
for broken bones? He broke a leg in 81,
again in '58 and cracked an ankle in go.
Only last Labor Day his horse ducked into
a hedge and Longden may owe his life to
the helmet he was wearing.
II like it," Johnny keeps telling people.
There's personal. satisfaction and always
a thrill. And think my reflexes are as
good as ever"
And who's to quarrel with him? Give
him good horse he can ride and Cramps
still can come back to the winners circle.
But today the cards were stacked against
him.

NEW YORK, June 3.-In the
wake of Garry Backs seventh
place finish in the 93d Belmont
Stakes a fresh wave of injury
rumors rolled over Belmont
Park today. But Jack Price,
trainer, breeder and co-owner
with his wife of the barg~.e
colt, didn't think there was
any truth to them.
Price, speaking to newsmen
in Barn 80, said, The4 only ex-
cuse I could, provide was the
one Johnny Sellers gave me
That the horse had, a rough
trip and had been bumped at
the first turn. Possibly the
wind was knocked out of him. "
The little retired business
man from Ohio added that it
was no fault Of the running
strip, but Garry Back had run
down a little on his left front
fetlock. There is. a small abra-
sion there, about the size Of a
quarter. - y"
After Garry Back had cooled
out, he was brought out of his
stall and walked, for the, boss
to examine. When asked about
his immediate plans, Price said
the colt would be rested briefly
and probably would run in the
Dwyer on July Is.
AFTER that one," he said,
maybe wen run in the Choice
at Monmouth Park and, later,
we'll think about Saratoga and
the Travers. I'd like to run in
| it."
The victorious Sherluck's
rider, Braulio Baeza, disclosed
that his horse didn't run well
until he reached the stretch.
Il was second all the way, but
on the backstretch he wasn't
running too easy. don't know,
but he didn't seem comfortable.
At the half-mile pole I shook
him up a bit just to see if he
had it. He ran better, SO I took
it easy to the 3-16th pole and
then I really pushed. He ran
like a different horse in the
stretch"
Today was only the second
time Baeza rode Sherlock, who
otherwise wasn't winning. The
Panamanian was aboard the
last time Sherluck finished
first. That was by six lengths
in the Blue Grass.
The Prices-Jack and Ksth-
erine-were as gracious in de-
feat as in victory. Jack, first
owner in memory to send
champagne to the press box
after a Kentucky Derby vic
tory, shipped a case to the
newsmen at Belmont Gas well

have ulcers) before the horses
had even left the track. The

NEW YORK, June 3.-In the
gloom of a rainy, overcast day,
skinny little Garry Back, the
peoples horse, came to a dead
end in his quest of the Triple
Crown, shattering dreams and
purses across the Nation.
Not the 5-and-10 Man o.

priced entry in the nine-horse
field, won the 93d running Of
the $148,650 Belmont Stakes

nickel was won by Garry Back,
who went into the race stand

winners with earnings of $780,

pounds.
Carry Back, drawing the No.

Musette on the rail and Am
biopoise, broke well but rapidly
found himself in close quarters.
Johnny Sellers, his 23-year-old
corresponds dence-school jockey
and leading rider in the coun-
try, kept close to the rail and
after a mile the long-cabin
colt was dead last.

he ran the IL furlongs over a
fast track, in 2:29Ks under an
expert ride by the Panamanian-
born Braulio Baeza.
This is the same colt, whose
pappy was Correspondent and
whose dam was Sarnminiato,
that finished fifth in the Derby
and Preakness and fourth in
the Jersey Derby only last
Tuesday.
AS the field broke from the
barrier in front Of the grand
stand, Baeza hustled Sherluck
to a forward position within
striking distance of the speedy
Globemaster, heretofore the
only horse in today's race to
defeat Carry Back. For one
mile, Globemaster, whose owner
Leonard Sasso bought as a
yearling for $4,000, remained
in front as he had done in the
PreaknesS. But at the furlong
pole Sherluck took command.

WHITE SOX QUIT CELLAR
Sievers' Blast in 18th
Defeats Yankees, 6-5

CHICAGO. June 8 (AP).-
Roy Sievers hit a homer on the
first pitch leading off the Chi
cago 18th inning today to hoist
the White Sox out of the cellar
with a 6-5 victory over the
Yankees.
Sievers' wallop off Art Dit
mar, the fourth Yankee pitch
er, gave the third White Sox
pitcher, Warren Hacker, his
first American League victory.
After eight days in the base
ment, the SoX moved into
ninth place ahead of the An
gels. who lost today to Cleve-
land.
The game was tied, SIS, from
the eighth inning in which Rog-
er Maris slammed a three-run
homer and Chicago Pinch-hit-
ter Floyd Robinson belted a
two-run homer.
Both starters, Yankee Ralph
Terry and Chicago's Bob Shaw,
lasted until the eighth.
The teams matched 2-run
bursts in the sixth and 3-run
spurts in the eighth.
In the eighth Maris slammed
his 14th homer, tying team
mate Mickey Mantle for the
league lead, scoring Clete Boyer
who walked and Tony Kubek
who doubled.
In the bottom of the eighth,
Robinson homered following
Sherm Lollar's leadoff single
Two singles, a sacrifice bunt
and Minnie Minoso's sacrifice
fly brought in the third run.

Hinton singled to lead off the
fourth, but King. going hitless
for the first time in II games,

double play.
Long singled to lead off the
fifth but Bass got the next
three batters with ease.
Hits, Walks Wasted
Hinton singled with two out
in the sixth and King flied out.
Tasby walked and Bright sin
gled to put two on with one out
in the seventh, but Green hit
into a double play.
In the eighth, two walks put
two Senators on with one out
but Hinton lined to PoSada and
King famed.
1t was the first shutout VIC
tory for the AS and their eight
runs represented a new high
against the Senators. The
Tigers scored seven runs
against Washington twice and
the Yankees did it once, while
losing, ST.
1t also was Bass third COM
plete game. He leads the K. c.
staff in this department.
NOTES: Lew Krausse, jr.,
sat in a box seat at Griffith
Stadium feeling much like roy
atty, but sobered, perhaps, by
the thought of Paul Giel, the
one-time bonus pitcher who
yesterday called it a career. The
former University of Mime
sofa football and baseball star
never materialized as a big
league pitcher.
Seven years later, Krausse,
son of Lew, ST., a Kansas City
coach, finds himself the center
of attention as the June bonus
madness strikes again. A star
pitcher for a Philadelphia high
school. Lew yesterday was the
special guest Of Charles o. Fin

The lanky Sellers, bobbing
along like an understuffed
silken scarecrow, pushed the
panic button. But the best he
could do was lap New York's
Bal Musette and California's
Flutterby, ridden by 54-year-
old Johnny Longden, only rider
in the field who ever won a
Belmont.

Gle. To a nation of Garry Back
worShfpers he was a rank
usurper. Still in a state of dis
belief, the tapped-out crowd
studied the temporarily de-
throned king of three-year-oldS
as he returned.
The official chart commented
that Garry Back was sore after
the finish, but a curSory exam
ination by a track veterinarian
at the barn indicated that he
was cooling out normally and
apparently was all right.
Winners Circle Quiet
It was so quiet in the win
ner's circle that Gen. Eisen-
hower's words to Jockey Baeza
could be heard clearly from
some distance away.
where are you from, son?"
the ex-President asked Baeza.
From Panama." the rider
replied.
"Oh, I served in your country
before you were born" Ike said.
"Is this your biggest victory?"
Eyes, this is" Baeza testified
with a faint smile.
Sellers, who had won two
earlier races by a neck and a
nose, said, "We had a rough
trip. There was no racing room
anywhere. When I called on him
late he just spit out the bit"
Today was Sellers 18th ride
on Carry Back. 1t also was 13
years ago that Citation became
the last winner of the Triple
Crown-Derby, Preakness and
Belmont. Garry Back, too, was
the 18th horse to win the first
two classics.

jewel. Pensive failed but fin

Garry Back was much more

Triple Crown winners who were

Harold Young, trainer Of
Sherlock who said the morning
after the Preakness that he
doubted if the colt would go
h the Belmont, also had stated
that if Sherluck felt like it

Sherluck, whose trainer flat
ly accused him of refusing to
run in the Preakness, paid a
whopping, record $132.10 to
win. biggest payoff for the
classic since the race came to
Belmont Park in 1905. The

INJURY RUMOR DENIED
Garry Back S Family
Disdoins Any AIibi

Some critics felt that Sellers
didn't ride his best race, that
he should have gone to the
outside much earlier. But
Prices first words to the rider
were, Don't worry about it.
You did the best job you could.
Don't worry about it,"
This was the first Belmont
Stakes since 1943 in which Ed
die Arcaro did not have a
mount. In all, The Master has
ridden in % Belmonts and won
six. Contrary to reports that
Arcaro sought to ride Sher-
luck, Trainer Harold Young
said there. was absolutely no
basis for them.
Arcaro wasn't even at the
track today. He had nothing
good going for him, apparently,
and he called in sick, which is
standard practice for a Jockey
who wants a day off to play
golf.
After the disting uis h e d
farmer from Gettysburg had
lunched, Ashley Trimble Cole,
chairman Of the New York
State Racing Commission pre-
sented Dwight D. Eisenhower
with a gold honorary stewards
button. The ex-President. ac-
cepting, asked, what does it
get me?" Cole replied; Into
any track in the country"
Ike last was at a race track
in 1946 in Brazil. Before that
it was the Grand Prix in Paris
in 1926. No working president
is believed to have attended a
horse race since Andrew Jack
son.
While the gross purse for the
1860 Belmont was larger $780,
900 to $148,650), the front end
was smaller. 1t was $104,900
to today's winner as against

by Bobby Richardson and

Maris' fly produced two runs.
The White Sox tied the score
in their half. Lollar led off with
