Derby Hopes
InCoast Race

ALBANY, Calf, April IA
(AP).-Alberta Ranches Flut-
terby, with veteran Johnny
Longden riding, heads a field
of seven 3-year-olds tomorrow
in the $6O,100 California Derby
at Golden Gate Fields.
The mile-and-an eighth race
should give a line on the
chances of six of the 3-year-
olds for the Kentucky Derby.
Flutterby, Songman, Gay
Landing, Mr.. Consistency, In
dian Ali and Mighty Mine all
are eligible for the Run for the
Roses. Only Sonofagun, among
the California Derby horses,
wasn't entered for the Ken
lucky Derby.
Under the allowance condi-
tions of the California race,
Flutterby must carry l19
pounds with the other six at
116.
Flutterby generally is con-
sidered the second half of AL
berta Ranches hope for the
Kentucky Derby. He placed
third to Stablemate Four-and-
Twenty in the Santa Anita
Handicap and remained in
California while Four-and-
Twenty was flown to Kentucky
early. Flutterby goes early next
week.
c. v. Whitney's Songman
beat Flutterby a neck in the
California Derby Trial two
weeks ago, but Flutterby was
gaining rapidly in the final
strides Of the mile race. To-
morrow's added distance should
be to Flutterby's advantage.
The Kerr Stables entered
tWo-Gay Landing and Mr..
Consistency. Larry Gilligan
will fly in from Florida to ride
Gay Landing. a fast improving
runner, while Bobby Mundorf
gets the ride on Mr.. Con-
Sistency.

Big Two-Doy
Relays Open


QUANTICO, Va, April IA
(AP).-Ed Collymore, who has
fallen just short of the greater
spring glories, admits he's lazy
and not in the best of shape.
But he thinks this could be a
better season for Collymore.
The Quantico Relays, which
open today at Butler Stadium,
provide the first genuine test.
Several hundred college and
club athletes were billeted here
for the two-day meet which
features the 4-mile relay,
10,000-meter, half-mile and
440-yard low hurdles on the
track, the discus and hammer
throws, the high and broad
jumps on this afternoons open
ing card.
Collymore, 23-year-old eX-
Villanova dash man, won both
the 100 and 220 yesterday for
Quantico in the All-Marine
championships, a service event
serving as a prelude to the
larger relays. Leaning into the
same kind stiff northwest wind
that the weatherman predicted
for today, he was clocked in
10 seconds flat and 22.2.
In previous outdoor zoos this
spring. he has been credited
with 81 and 9.5-although he
personally questions the faster
of the two.
Il was going against a tough
wind then" he said, land will
take the time, but I'm really
not sure Of it."
Collymore, IC-4A indoor and
NCAA outdoor 100 champion in
1859, said his knees are still
tight after an all-out race.
Paul'Winder of Morgan State,
edged by Collymore in a tri-
angular meet last Saturday,
Frank Budd of Villanova, Bob
Brown of Penn State and
Danny Miller of Maryland
State are entered in the 100
heats scheduled today prepara-
tory to the final tomorrow.
Wayne Gee, now at Camp
Pendleton. also won a pair in
the Marine meet. He ran the
440 with no obstacles in SOL
and the hurdles at the same
distance in 55.6.

lead?
Without thinking too much
about it, West led the deuce
of spades. This indicated a
four card length or three to
a picture card.
Declarer did what he could
to stay alive. He won in dummy
with the ace of spades and

knock out the ace.
In the Dark
East was in the dark. 1t was
possible that West had started
with six hearts and three or
four spades to the king. If so,
only a spade return would de-
feat the contract.
After much indecision East
did lead a spade, and South
sat up joyfully. Declarer won
with the king of spades. drew
trumps and ran the diamonds
to make his contract.
West could have made it
easier for his partner by
switching to the nine of spades
instead of the deuce of spades
at the second trick. This would
not indicate his length in the
suit. but it would show that
he had no high spades. East

BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Not long ago we quoted here
a letter from the daughter of
a one-time resident of West
Virginia. She complained that
very few people seemed to know
the correct pronunciation of
"Kanawha," the Indian word
used for a county and a brace
of rivers in the Panhandle
State. Her father had always
pronounced it ken-oi and she
seemed a bit scornful of those
who persisted in pronouncing
it kuh-NAW-uh. To me this
was a puzzlement. In many
visits to West Virginia 1 had
never heard any pronunciation

the next step is to make 1t
water-tight. The usual practice
is to coat with tar or some
other waterproof compound, al
though these are both difficult
to apply and not always easy
for the do-it-yourself handy
man. A thick cement wash ap-
piled with a brush is the easier
and most readily apple d
method. Two or three coats,
each allowed to set before ap-
plying the next will give a
tight finish.
If fish are to be kept in the
pool it will need to be flushed
two or three times to get The
lime out of the water. Even
then it is best to get some
aquatic plants into the pool
and to make whatever arrange
ments are desired for the grow

remove the lime from the water

and make it more suitable for

Further notifications of the
pool might we'll be considered
if it is desired to have a natu-
ralistic planting at the edge-a
small bay separated from the
main part with a porus brick
wall. This will let water
through but will keep the dirt
out of the pool. Then there is
the possibility of a small water
fall or of a rivulet that flows
into the pool and other varia-
tions, all possible with a small
inexpensive circulating pump.
The above are hardly COM

Include Water Vista
In Landscape Plan

Most pools are informal in
outline and this can easily be
worked out using the family
garden hose for an outline.
Dig the pool a t least six
inches deeper and six inches
wider or a little wider will not
hurt. These are the usual al
lowanceS for the concrete
| lining.
After the pool has been dug
the dirt should be tamped and
smoothed so that it will not
mix with the concrete as it is
poured.
Next spread some sort of re-
inforcing - fencing, surplus
bailing wire, reinforcing rods,
bale ties, anything that will
give strength to the concrete.
Stakes that stick up 4 to 6
inches, whichever thickness you
decide upon, should be placed
to guide the pouring of the
concrete. However, there is one
point that might we'll be con-
sidered in the earlier stages
drainage of the pool.
If there is some way of let
ting the water run out of a
drainage hole in the bottom it
should be installed at the time
of digging. The outlet hole is
set into the concrete and
should be at least an inch in
diameter. Some prefer a two
inch outlet pipe.
Most builders then screw into
this outlet usually a nipple) a
short length of pipe that serves
as an overflow outlet.
Water Tight Methods
If this sort of thing is i'm
practical and the pool is not
too big it may be emptied by
syphoning, by dipping with a
bucket, or by a small electric
pump.

do-it-yourself operator. that is
if the pool is to be below the
level of the ground so that
