Shoes Free May 2 thru May 4 The Dodgers, who finished sev enth last year and eighth in 1967, were minus center fielder Willie Davis the first three weeks of the season, and got little mileage out of veteran pitcher Don Drys- dale, who now is on the disabled list with a sore arm. ured in his early-season use of so many youngsters. “Sizemore came to spring training as a catcher,” Alstoii says, “but I wanted to try him at shortstop because I thought he had more range than Paul Popo vich. “He made some mistakes in spring training but he was quick to make adjustments. The more I see of Ted, the better I like him. He can catch, play the in field and outfield, he can run and he doesn’t strike out much.” Sizemore played short until Grabarkewitz earned a promotion from Spokane and then Alston shifted the reformed catcher to second base. Meanwhile, Russell, who won’t turn 21 until Oct. 21, admits he went to spring training hoping to make the grade with Albu querque, the Dodgers’ farm club in the Class AA Texas League. “The players’ strike was a break for me,” Russell explained. “There weren’t many players in shape when we played our first exhibition game and I had a pretty good afternoon,” he says. “But my big thrills were get ting a hit off Jim Merritt of Cin cinnati my first time at bat in the majors — and getting my first home run. The homer came at Houston.” But the four kids and newcom er Andy Kosco, acquired in a trade with the Yankees, have helped the Dodgers get off to their best start since 1957. Ack Ack Pulls Out Of Kentucky Derby WET AND WILD ! O. K. Goodwin and A1 Douglas (not shown) of Newport News, Va., hang on to their canoe which upset yesterday during the Loyalsock International Whitewater slalom championship near Forksville, Pa. (AP Wirephoto) Sudakis was hitting only .270 after the first 19 games but he had driven in 11 runs. Russell, who played for Bakersfield in the California League last season, was hitting .304 and his first four safeties were a single, double, triple and homer. Sizemore was batting .338 and had knocked in 12 runs while Kosco was hitting .324, had three homers and 15 rbi. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (A>) — Cali fornia-bred Fleet Allied and the forgotten Traffic Mark joined the dare, but Ack Ack dared not Wednesday as a seven-horse field, headed by the unbeaten Ma jestic France, shaped up for Sat urday’s 95th Kentucky Derby. Grabarkewitz was hitting only .125 in the seven games since his recall from Spokane, where he played himself into shape after breaking an ankle last year at Albuquerque. Manager Walter Alston admits that several unusual factors fig- The major surprise came with the pull-out of speedy Ack Ack, ace of Capt. Harry F. Guggen heim’s Cain Hoy Stable, who was still prancing and snorting after winning the mile Derby Trial Tuesday in track record time. “We’re simply not ready to go the mile and a quarter against this kind of competition,” ex plained trainer Frank Downie Bonsai. “It’s like handling a pretty girl — you don’t ask too much too soon.” Ack Ack was shipped to New York to be pointed for the With ers mile at Aqueduct on May 10. The horse that finished third in the trial, Fleet Allied, was cleared in the historic race at Churchill Downs as was Traffic Mark, a dark brown plugger who won the Arkansas Derby earlier this year. With Ocean Roar, the castoff son of Swaps from the small tracks in Ohio, they form the ragamuffin challenge to the big four — Majestic Prince, Top Knight, Arts and Letters and Dike. These are the seven names likely to be dropped — along with $500 checks—into the entry box early Thursday. Each own er must post another $1,000 when his horse goes to the post Sat urday at 5:30 p.m., EDT.
