SHOOTING

Continued From First Page
from the holdup scene. Pvt,
Parlette spotted Pvt. Bright
wells police car parked on
Fells Lane.
Pvt. Brightwell lay dead,
with several shots in his head
and chest, beside the car. His
police dog was still inside the
car.
Police said Pvt. Brightwell
apparently had stopped the
gunmen because their car had
a noisy muffler without being
aware that they were fugitives
or that there had been an
earlier shooting. The ticket for
the traffic violation was COM
pletely filled out, and police
said it was found in the car
being driven by the suspects
later.
Police theorized that the
slain officer may have been
writing the ticket when the
lookout was flashed for the yell
low car and was shot to death
when the gunner heard the
car description.
! Sergt. Davis heard the radio
flashes about the two shoot
ings and the lookout for the
yellow car. He put out his po-
lice car lights and parked near
the intersection of North Roll
ing road and Route 40. Mo-
mentS later, he said, he spotted
the car going south on Rolling
road away from Baltimore and
gave chase with his red light
flashing.
Finally. he pulled the men
over to the side OF the road
after a mile chase and ap-
preached the car with his gun
ready. He said the driver of
the car began cursing him and
reached for a gun. Sergt. Davis
wrestled the gun away from the
driver, he said. and radioed for
help. He disarmed both men,
Sergt. Davis said.
Revolver Found
At $50 am, police found Pvt
Brightwell's service revolver
near Route 40, a few miles from
where he was shot. Ten police
men backtracked over the pos
sible routes the suspects could
have taken before they found
the weapon.
States Attorney Mayfield
said he will call the grand Jury
later this week to cat on the
case.
Between the time the holdur
occurred and the suspects were
captured, two men in a yellow
car fired several shots at a
motorist they passed on Route
40, police reported. Martin
Wildt Of Mount Airy, Md, said
the car passed him at high
speed and fired at him, one
shot striking the car. He was
at a loss to explain why.
Paul F. Jacob, brother-in-
law Of the slain gasoline sta
tion attendant. told reporters
the gunmen got between 5000
and $3.50 in the holdup.
He said Mr.. Gallon had
been shot once in the face
after the robbers took the
money. Mr.. Gallon was lying
on top of the empty cash box
and his pockets had been rifled

Gen. Graham, tired from Sleep

WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
A Topical Question: What's Royalty Bred?
By FRANCIS STANN

NON were mediocre See what grandpa
and grandma, and the great-grandpapa
and great-grandmama did
Look into the branches of Carry Backs
tree, they say, and you'll find such names
as EquipoiSe and Hyperion on the male line
and Blenheim II and Sir Galahad III on
the distaff side
All this Is meaningful, 1t is supposed.
A lay stiff who has watched this Carry
Back come from far back so often in
Florida-and more recently in Louisville
knows only this: Carry Back could have
oeen pulling wagon as far as pedigree
goes He's still the best 3-year-old in
the country.
EVERYTHING ABOUT Garry Back, his
rider, who is Johnny Sellers, and his
trainer-owner, Price, is deceptive On the
track Carry Back looks stringy Well,
maybe he is. He has almost no rump. Yet
ne has the lean, Stringy muscles of a good
runner, If not an exceptional one.
No track seems to bother him. He's
licked the best of his age, whether the
going has been fast, sloppy, good, muddy
or any other wordage the experts use.
Sellers, thin and pale, is a 24-year -old,
uncommonly tall rider who never made
more than $1,000 year until his happy
marriage with Carry Back Last year."
Johnny admitted in Louisville, Il banked
more than $4,000. This year :"
He spread his hands But this year so
far, he's won mint, of which he properly
receives 10 per cent He figures to bank
more than $130,0OO Pretty good for a kid
who had to attend night school to get a
high school diploma.
HIS RIVAL JOCKEYS, who personally
like Sellers, won't admit that he's any
ball of fire. They feel that Johnny is lucky
to have horse like Carry Back and an
easy-going owner like Price. But. if the
quote OF rider who does not wish to be
identified may be permitted:
Sellers is better than people think
Eddie Arcaro is supposed to be the best
jockey. He's only No. 4 in my book over a
year. Comes Derby Day, maybe he moves
up to No. l, but Sellers is beating him"
AS for Price, there's nobody quite like
him. He rides no fat pony, la Ben Jones
and Jimmy Jones of Calumet, as he re-
hearses his mount in the early morning.
There is no dawn heraldry, as when the
Joneses of Calumet advance their steeds
onto the track
Price is just guy, like one you'd find
sitting next to you at hamburger joint.
Chances are he doesn't even know too
much about the family tree of Garry Back.
What he must know, under that casual
air, is that he's got potentially the biggest
money winner in the world going for him.

THESE CINDERELLA HORSE" stories
almost always seem to require modifying,
after the theme has worn thin. A year
and some change ago, Bally Ache, who
had been badly named and was considered
to be queStionably bred for classic dis
tances, was sold for near-record ST 1,250,OO0
just before the PreaknesS, which he won
The romanticists made much of the
purchase and Of Leonard Fruchtman's
great luck in developing a cheap colt of
such rare ability and selling him for such
a fantastic price and profit Actually, Bally
Ache was good, solid horse. If the sweat
on his flanks didn't exactly flow purple,
1t was Of good stock.
The time has come, perhaps, to amend
some Of the thinking about Garry Back,
who certainly has to be the successor to
Bally Ache at this time and who, unlike
the other, won the Kentucky Derby and
looks as if he might be the first horse
since Citation to win the Triple Crown
Derby, Preakness and Belmont.
CARRY BACK WAS BORN on the
wrong side of the tracks, it says in almost
every newspaper story.
His sire was Saggy and his dam was
Joppy. But now the purists, who feel that
breeding is all and the moment of justifi-
cation has come, point out that Jack
Prices III Of scrawny colt amt all trash.
He's got some stock going for him, too.
Every schoolboy must know by now
that Price, with no horsey pedigree of his
own, bought Joppy for $3.50. Actually, an
insolvent owner owed Price $3.50 for
Joppy's feed bill price was running a
sort of livery stable in Ohio. Price gave
the owner $50 in cash, marked off the
feed bill, and it came out to $500
investment
Joppy? A no-account racer. She never
won. One time Joppy finished second, but
later she was ruled off for refusing to run.
In pasture last month she was kicked and
killed by another horse.
NOW THAT PRICE owned this mare,
which he originally wanted as his daugh-
ter's riding horse, he decided to breed her.
For $400 he received the services of Saggy,
and this is no earth-quaking stud fee or
name in turf breeding circles, either. Total
cost of Garry Back: $70O.
Saggy was a sprinter, not Derby
type. His greatest claim to fame was
victory over the great Citation in the
Chesapeake Trial stakes in 1948. So now,
if one goes back only this far, it's sprinter
named Saggy and a nonrunner called
Joppy who spawned this fabulously wealthy
Carry Back.
The blood-horse types now are asking
for a new hearing. Leave us dig back
few generations, they suggest, and it will
be clear that only Carry Backs pop and

If anyone had any doubts
about just why Dick Farrell
was the relief man all the big
clubs wanted, look what he's
done for Los Angeles in that
National League race since the
Dodgers got him from Phila-
delphia last Thursday.
The Dodgers have won three
of four in a move from fourth
to third in that time, and the
fast-balling Highlander has
saved one of those victories and
collected another with a string
of seven scoreless innings.
Farrell picked up his third
victory of the season, first for
the Dodgers, with four innings
of four-hit. shutout relief
against his old mates for a 4-3,
10-inning decision at Philadel-
phia last night.
The only other game sched-
uled in the MI, San Francisco
Pittsburgh, was rained out.
The Dodgers were shut out
on four hits by Dallas Green
for six innings, then tied it 3-all
with two out in the seventh on
a scoring single by Maury Wills
and a two-run homer by Willie
Davis. They finally put it
away when reliever Chris Short

two out in the 10th and Gil

.2-1 record.
Duren, 81, was the Yankees
ace reliever in 1853 and 1859,
when he posted ERA's of 2.01

this year, but Angels General
Manager Fred Haney said in
Los Angeles:
