New Probe
Begun in
ReIkoCuse

LONDON, Aug. 20 (AP). -
The English Jockey Club called
in the police today for further
inquiry into the alleged doping
of Relko, French-owned winner
of this years EPSON Derby.
The action was announced in
the Racing Calendar, official
weekly publication of British
racing, after a hearing held
yesterday attended by Mrs.
Francois Dupre, wife Of the
owner, and his trainer, Francois
Mathet.
The Racing Calendar an
nounced that the inquiry into
the Relko case, and also four
other horses involved in sus-
Ipected stimulation, had been
adjourned for further inquiry
in conjunction with the police. :"
The publication said English
racing stewards were satisfied
that the substance was admin
istered for the purpose of in
creasing its speed, improving its
stamina. courage or conduct in
the race"
The announcements con-
tanned almost identical wording
about investigations into the
performances of all five horses.
First prize of $98,946 for
winning the English Derby May
20 still has not been paid to
Dupre, wealthy French owner
Of Relko.
There is still a question
whether for official purposes
Relko's name will remain in the
record books as winner of the
mile-and-a-half classic for 81
year-olds.

Less-Than-Best Cup Team
Could Cause Grief for u. S.

Some folks put their own in
terests first.
Mckinley, the Nations No.
man, turned down a bid to play
against Iran because he wants
several rugged tuneups for
Wimbledon. He failed there
miserably last year and is bent
on erasing that stain. He'll
play instead in tournaments in
Scandinavia.
RalSton and Pasarell are
m m b ers of college tennis
teams, Southern California and
UCLA, respectively. According
to Smith, Bob Kelleher, the
United States captain, put in
a request for both, but was
turned down flatly. School Of
ficials said that Ralston and
Pasarell were on tennis schol-
arships and that they are ex-
pected to play in the NCAA
championships at Princeton in
stead.
There is a strong belief here
that Smith hasn't short
changed the United States and
that his trio will brush off
Iran easily. Smith made a trip
to Charlottesville last week,
conferred with Deal and Scott
and reported back that both
seem at the top of their game.
Fox will play some tuneups in
Spain.
However, the point is that
the United States may get by
with a team that's less than
its best this year, but some day
1t won't. Only a week ago in
Rio, for instance, the United
States basketball team bowed
to YugoSlavia and Russia in
the world cage tournament. 1t
was small consolation to know
that this team wasn't our best.
Maybe the folks in Tulsa and
Wilkes-Barre know this, but
how about those in Kiev of
Kizyl-Arvat?
$50
Even If the United States had
no difficulty with Iran, the
schools hands-off attitude still
will be costly in terms of world
wide prestige. RalSton and Pa
sarell, who were expected to do
well, must b almost written off
now at Wimbledon.

set by Ted Rogers, a club
player. A year ago Scott was
ranked no better than 37th ma
tionally. Fox, although a top
l0er for two years, is basically
a hard courts player and may
not be at his best on the soft
surface in Iran.
None Of the three has ever
won a Davis Cup singles match
before.
To put 1t bluntly, the United
States seems to be practicing
a mild sort of craftsmanship
again. Although all three men,
bers of the team are respected,
this is not the best team the
United States could assemble
by any means. Maybe you're
wondering why.

Smith had an explanation.
"The team was chosen by the
Davis Cup committee" he said
the other day, ION the basis
of what I told them of the
Iranians. I assured them that
a team consisting of our fourth,
seventh and eighth-ranked
players should win. I feel the
responsibility is entirely mine"
Question: Would you rather
have Chuck Mckinley, Dennis
Ralston and Charlie PaSarell?
Answer: Anybody would
want to go with the best there
is" Smith said. II have only
the best that is available, and
there is a difference.
Why isn't the best" avail
able? The answer is that not
everyone apparently gives a
hang whether Uncle Sans i'm
age is red, white and blue, or
more simply black and blue.
