Count Turf Out Of
Preakness Stakes;
Eight Enter Field
Baltimore, Md., May 18—(■&’)—
Here it is only 24 hours before
the seventy-fifth running of the
famed Preakness Stakes, and the
tune around old Pimlico race course
has a very familiar ring.
Just like in Louisville the week
before the Kentucky Derby, people
in this Maryland metropolis are
singing the old refrain: ‘It’s a wide
open race.” Had Jack Amiel, own
er of the surprise Derby winner—
Count Turf—seen fit to nominate
his colt for the Preakness this could
have been avoided. Furthermore,
a definite favorite would be lined
up for Pimlico’s $75,000-added turf
classic.
But Count Turf can’t run, and it
looks as if eight horses will be
shooting for the mile and three-
sixteenths Preakness. Everyone
has been talking about the prob
ably top choices, such as Greentree
Stable’s Big Stretch, Brookmeade
Stable’s Bold and the Hampton
Stable’s Alerted.
So, remembering how one and
all forgot to remember Count Turf
before the Derby, it might be well
to check up on a couple of the
lesser lights here Saturday.
Mrs. Wallace Gilroy’s Timely Re
ward is a good one to start with.
Timely Reward was tenth in the
Derby, and his stable foreman,
George Gagarin, has no illusions.
“Trying to pick the Preakness
wipner is like trying to name the
Derby winner,” said Gagarin, fill
ing in until Trainer George Odom
arrives from New York.
“Our horse trained better for the
Derby than he ever did, but he ran
a bad race. But he’s no worse than
a lot of others. They’re just a
bunch of bad horses this year.
“Mr Odom will telephone and
ask about the horse, and I’ll tell
him he’s eating well and is still
standing on his four feet.”
Marylanders aren’t overlooking
Mrs. Nora Mikell’s Repetoire, win
ner of four straight stakes before
finishing twelfth in the Derby.
“He’s better now than he was at
Louisville,” said Trainer A1 Jensen.
Aggies Win, 4-2
(Continued from Page 1)
a wild pitch from Hand. Candelari
struck out and Aggie catcher A1
Ogletree came to bat. Ehrler toss
ed a pitch into the dirt that went
wild allowing Lary to score uncon
tested. Ogletree walked and first
base Bill Munnerlyn followed him
on a free trip to the bases to load
all the sacks before pitcher Hu
bert struck out.
Bill Muston, Frank Womack, and
Chile Bigham loaded the bases
on two walks and a fielder’s choice
in the top of the ninth before Hu
bert snuffed the last spark of
the Longhorn fire with the Aggies
out in front 3-2.
Today Aggie skipper Bell will
probably call on the battery of
Bob Tankersley and Mart Hamil
ton to handle the chores of pitcher
and catcher, respectively; while
Longhorn mentor Bibb Falk pro
bably will recall Ehrler for the
all-important contest.

Lithe Lary Has Big Day
Yale Lary
. . . turned in one of the greatest performances
of his diamond career yesterday afternoon when
he netted a home run, a double, and two singles
to credit himself with four hits for four trips to
the plate. Adding to his prowess in the baseball
world, the converted left fielder had a perfect
day in the field with three put outs. Lary was
credited with two RBIs and stole home on a wild
throw to score three of the Aggie runs when the
Cadets stunned Texas University, 4-2.
Might Fill the Gap in Tonights Bout When
Gavilan Challenges Bratton
New York, May 18—GP)—T h e
Johnny Bratton-Kid Gavilan fight
tonight at Madison Square Garden
may provide an exception, of
course, but. rarely has the winner
of a bout staged to fill a title va
cancy emerged as a great cham
pion.
Ray Robinson was a notable ex
ception, but the circumstances there
were a little different. Even be
fore he officially was recognized
as welterweight champion, he was
acknowledged to be the best of the
class.
Sugar Ray probably would have
won the crown from the legitimate
titleholder if he had had the chance
Eventually, after a real cham
pion gives up his title without
losing it in the ring, a worthy
successor appears, but usually
several years elapse.
When Gene Tunney retired he
left a hodge-podge of contenders
in his wake, and it wasn’t until
nine years later that a convincing
champion appeared in the person
of Joe Louis.
Tonight’s 15-rounder has the
lads guessing. They just don’t
know what to expect, but they
don’t expect the worst. It should
be a good fight, as, whether you
admire Gavilan’s boring in style
or not, it makes for action.

Standings
Bratton is confident, even cocky,
for a guy who has had to have his
jaw wired for sound twice after
getting it broken by punches. He
blames the breaks on an impacted
wisdom tooth which he neglected
to have pulled, and says that his
chin can take anything now.
He is a terrific puncher with
his right hand, but personally be
lieves he can hit harder with his
left.
Gavilan has been beaten twice
by Robinson, but he is a tough
cookie who can take tremendous
punishment without wilting. He
keeps coming on in that jiggly,
bouncy style, oblivious to the wal
nuts growing on his noggin as
punches bounce off him like hail.

EVER HOLD HANDS
LIKE THESE?
They're not soft and warm, these hands.
They're hard and cold —and mechanical.
They work at the Oak Ridge atomic energy
plant, preparing radioactive isotopes
for shipment to Bell Telephone Laboratories
and to other research centers.
These isotopes—which serve as tracers —
are used by Bell scientists to study the
materials that go into the telephone
system. Our research men, working with
Geiger counters, are able to detect
wear in relay contacts, impurities in metals,
the penetration of preservatives in wood.
This new research tool helps us to
learn more in less time, helps us to make
telephone equipment even more rugged
and dependable. That’s especially important
right now when the Nation relies on
the telephone to help get things done.
