ningham returned their signed
contracts to the Redskins yes
terday. But instead of easing
the clubs rebuilding problems
they merely exposed one of it's
most glaring weaknesseS-full-
back.
BoSSeler. starting his sixth
pro season, may be too brittle
to help the club. Cunningham,
beginning his second, may be
too slow. And without a strong
fullback, the club might waste
the speed gained by the acqui-
sition Of Bobby Mitchell from
Cleveland and the drafting OF
Leroy jackson.
1t was the threat Of a line
smash by burly Jim Brown that
helped spring Mitchell loose at
Cleveland. With no similar
threat last year, the Redskins
were boxed in throughout mos
of the season.
One other fullback possibilit,
was given a physical checkuI
and an okay by DR.. George

BY JOSEPH B. KELLY

three eighths today but it was
another Is minutes before the
stewards named the Maryland
owned horse the official win
ner of the Sussex Turf Handi-
cap at Delaware Park.
Wise Ship. flying the silks
Of Milton Ritzenberg of Berry
vile, Va, finished second,
beaten a neck under top weight
of IS pounds. Jockey Heliodoro
Cuisines filed an objection but
the stewards disallowed it after
viewing the films.
This set off scattered cheer
ing from the longshot players,
who collected SAL. $500 and
$6.40 on Polarity. who carried
1l3 pounds and was ridden by
William Peake.
Royal Record Third
Taking third money in the
grass event was the Wheatley
Stables Royal Record, a close
second choice to the slightly
favored Wise Ship. Royal Rec
ord was two lengths behind
Wise Ship and three lengths
better than Bayard Sharp's
Sunshine Cake. fourth among
the nine starters.
There was excitement earlier
on the program, too, when
Strontium, a 3-year-old never
close in his three previous
races, won the second race at
$137.40.
Strontium, ridden by Sheri-
dan Mellon, sent the daily dou-
BILE payoff soaring to $1,062 so.
Lucky numbers were 2 and IL.
A total of $206,5O2 was wagered
in the double, but after the Sec
ond race the money was in the
hands of holders of three win
ming $40 tickets and l56 50.
Wise Ship Takes Lead
Wise Ship took the lead early
when the field left the gate but
shortly after the turn into the
backstretch Peake sent Po-
larity into command. At the far
turn, Polarity swung to the in
side but seemed to have plenty
of daylight between himself
and Wise Ship.
1t was at this point that Gus
tines thought he was fouled.
However, the stewards said
Polarity was clear and did not
impede Wise Ship. Polarity
earned $22,150 in the gross
purse of $4,000.
Polarity, a 4-year-old son of
Arctic Prince and Our Love,
is from Ephraim Winer's Hill
N-Dale farm Of Jessup. Md.
