Wise Margin Upsets
Find and Royal Vale
On Great Stretch Run
By th* Associated Press
BOSTON, May 20.—Sam Tu
fano's Wise Margin, fresh from a
nose victory !h the 20th Massa
chusetts Handicap, is in line for
added respect as a handicap
horse, especially when he's run
ning a mile and a quarter.
An 11-to-l outsider. Wise Mar
gin went into yesterday’s race at
Saffolk Downs as the only horse
in the field of 11 that previously
had won over the mile-and-a
quarter distance this year. With
Jockey Keith Stuart piloting
Wise Margin with split-second
timing, the 4-year-old son of
Market Wise nipped Alfred Van
derbilt’s Find, the second choice,
and Mrs. J. H. R. Thouron’s fa
vored Royal Vale to prove his
10-furlong mastery at the
weights.
Wise Margin’s one victory this
year prior to the Massachusetts
Handicap came March 13 in the
$50,000 Gulfstream Handicap—a
mile-and-a-quarter test.
Find, ridden by Eric Guerin,
u r ho also handled Native Dancer,
had traveled a mile and a quarter
twice before this year, finishing
sdcond once and out of the
nioney the other time.
fßoyal Vale, whose failure to
repeat last year's triumph left
rtrst Fiddle as the only two-time
winner (1944-5), finished a dis
tant second in the best of his
three tries at that distance be
fore ’yesterday.
Argentine Turf. Inc.’s Impul
aivo, fifth; J. S. Phipps’ Parnas
sus. sixth, and Silver Gale
Stable’s Combat Boots, eighth,
also had failed to succeed over 10
furlongs.
When Wise Margin pounded
along the inside rail from the
midst of the pack to catch and
nudge past Find in his final few
strides in 2:01%. one-fifth of a
second off the track record, he
kept alive his family tradition.
It was To Market, also sired by
Market Wise, that had set the
mark of 2:01% in the same race
two years ago. And Market Wise
himself won in 1943.
Wise Margin earned $43,100 in
the race, the gross value of which
was $61,450. He carried 111
pounds, compared to 121 for Find
and the top weight of 126 by
Royal Vale.
Wise Margin paid $24.80, $10.40
and $6.20. Find returned $5.80
and $4.20. Royal Vale paid $3.20.

Fall May Make Richards Miss
Derby Mount on Queen's Colt
By Hm Associated Press
SALISBURY, England, May 20.
—Sir Gordon Richards may be
forced to give up his mount on
Queen Elizabeth’s colt Landau in
the Epsom Derby June 2 as the
result of injuries suffered in a
spill yesterday.
Richards, who at 50 years of
age has ridden more winners
than any other jockey in history,
was knocked out for 30 minutes
when his horse. Misty Night, fell
during the Devizes Handicap.
Doctors said Sir Gordon suf
fered a severe concussion.
“He really had a bad knock,"
a hospital spokesman said. “Com
plete rest and quiet are essential.
He might—and I emphasize
might—have to rest and not ride
for a fortnight. No bones are
broken but he has some bad
bruises.”
Richards elected to ride the
Queen’s colt in preference to two
other Derby candidates in the
stable of Noel Murless, who has
first call on his services.
Odds on Landau had short

Manager Says Defeat of Black
Should Win Ranking for Fiore
By th* Associated Press
DETROIT, May 20.—Cy Crisci
is a reasonable fight manager,
which is something of an oddity.
His boxer. Carmine Fiore, of
Brooklyn, scored a unanimous
10-round decision last night over
Jed Black of Janesville, Wis., and
not once did Crisci clamor: “We
want the champ ne’kt!”
He merely said:
“Maybe now they’ll rank my
boy.’’
This unusual twist followed an
impressive performance by Fiore,
who is unranked among the wel
terweights. Using a solid left, he
twice floored Black for eight
counts to pile up a convincing
margin on the cards of all three
officials.
It was Fiore’s eighth straight
victory and ended Black's, string
of 27 fights without a defeat.

Bill Vukovich, 1953 winner of the
Memorial Day 500-mile auto
race, was back in business today
after engine trouble kept him
from qualifying for this year’s

A new engine was flown in

Vukovich. who likes to lead
all the way, had planned to

had held that spot last year and
was never headed except during

No. 4,400 came in the fifth

Orioles Draw 318,000
But Milwaukee Still
Keeps Its Record
By the Associated
BALTIMORE. May 20.—Trans
fer of the St. Louis Browns to
Baltimore has paid off in at
tendance in the first 15 home
dates, but the Orioles still trail
Milwaukee’s home attendance
mark, both last season and this.
The Orioles in their first two
home stands drew more paid
admissions than the Browns did
in St. Louis all last season. Last
night’s attendance of 29,722
boosted the total to 318,679. The
Browns played before only 297,-
238 in all of 1953.
But the Baltimore total left
something lacking for Oriole
partisans who vowed when the
franchise was switched here last
fall to beat Milwaukee’s 1,826,000
home attendance in 1953, its
first year in the National League.
Even this season, with some
of the novelty worn off, Milwau
kee has drawn 324,615 for its
first 15 home dates. That's 11,-
217 less than the number who
saw the Braves play their first
15 games at home last season,
but the total is 5,936 better than
Baltimore’s figure.
The Orioles have responded
to the enthusiastic rooting by
winning nine and losing seven
at home. On the road they have
won only three of 11. By con
trast, the Browns won 23 games
at home last year while losing
54, and on 'the road they won
31 and lost 45.
The weather for the Orioles’
first 15 home dates was any
thing except conducive to big
turnouts. It rained on more
than half the dates and only
two occasions, last night and
Sunday, when 46,796 attended,
resembled baseball weather.
Orioles Hit ’Cheapening’
Os Anthem by Repetition
By the Associated Pross
BALTIMORE, May 20.—Art
Ehlers, general manager of the
Orioles, has decided against the
playing of the Star Spangled
Banner before every baseball
game because the repetition tends
to “cheapen’’ the National An
them.
Ehlers, a veteran of World War
I and former American Legion
post commander, said his decision
was made despite the urging of
city council, because of his in
sistence on “a spirit of reverence
and dignity.”
Ehlers said the anthem is in
danger of becoming “common
place” if it is played before every
baseball game or before other
sports events.
“Crowds at stadiums and other
sports arenas have away of con
tinuing to laugh and talk and
move about while the anthem
is being played,” Ehlers said.
“That applies to fights, wrestling
matches, stock car races—and
baseball games. To me it is very
distasteful.”

ANCLE
>1? By LEWIS F. ATCHISOM
Things have been so dull at
Pimlico this week, even with the
Preakness coming up Saturday,
that the pressbox gang jumped
like a startled
kangaroo yes-
Hasty House if
Farm’s Hasty
Road might be |
declared out M|
race. It caused jr^
atmosphere Vlf
heavy with V
boredom. l«wi» f. Atchuee.
The report wasn’t true, of
course, and to emphasize its in
accuracy, Owner Allie Reuben
plunked down the SSOO Preakness
entry fee immediately. Two other
horses, Robert S. Lytle’s Correla
tion and Howard A. Jones’ For
Free beat him to the punch, but
Allie made it clear Hasty Road
will go in the big race.
"I’ve been here all week with
only one suit,” Reuben told re
porters checking the rumor.
“Would I be hanging around like
this if I wasn’t going to run the
horse?”
It was a fair question, although
anybody who knows the master
of Hasty House Farm would not
be much surprised at anything
he does.
“Allie is a nice enough guy.”
one race tracker observed, “but
he’s got so much energy he can’t
sit still. A guy’s liable to get
jittery if he’s around him long
enough.”
Last week Harry Trotsek, who
trains Hasty Road and other
Reuben horses, showed up at
Pimlico and announced he
wanted to look over the track
before deciding whether to ship
Queen Hopeful to weather
beaten old Pimlico for the Black
eyed Susan Stakes. It caused a
few eyebrows to be raised. One
trainer thought Harry wanted to
get away from Reuben for a
couple of days and used the track
inspection gag as an excuse.
In the end, Queen Hopeful ran
in the race and won the biggest
portion of the $20,000-added
purse.
** * *
Bowie officials well remember
Reuben’s visit there in 1950
when he won three stakes with
Seaward and Inseparable, all the
while protesting that Handicap
per John Turner was putting too
much weight on his horses. Sea
ward won the Prince Georges
Autumn Handicap and the Bryan
and O’Hara Memorial Handicap,
while Inseparable took the
Thomas K. Lynch Memorial. In
all three races. Reuben strenu
ously objected to the weights.
Yesterday’s rumor about Hasty
Road was born, innocently
enough, during a conversation
between Trotsek and a racing
writer about the Roman—Traffic
Court colt. The trainer merely
pointed out that if Reuben
wasn’t satisfied with Hasty
Road’s condition, or with any
thing else about the race, the
colt could be scratched. He
didn’t say he would be, so it
clearly seemed to be a misunder
standing. Reuben thought it
worth the SSOO entry fee to clear
up the matter instantly.
••* * * *
There are some who feel that
Reuben’s success since he got
into racing eight years ago, after
many years with hunters and
show horses, has made him a
mite unpredictable.
“Allie wants to run every
where and win everything,” one
observer commented, “but he
wants everything in his favor
and you can’t be sure of what
he’ll do until he does it.”
Owners and trainers tear their
hair and cuss out handicappers
about weights every day, so
there’s nothing strange in that.
Nor is there anything wrong in
wanting to win every race—what
are the horses running for, exer
cise? It seems that Mr. Reuben
has so much energy, and spends
so much of it on his horses that
he causes more excitement than
the average owner.
** * *
Around Pimlico it was needed
this week. It saved Publicity
Director John O’Keeffe the trou
ble of blowing up the old club
house to attract some attention.
O’Keeffe, by the way, would
like racing fans to be reminded
that although the Preakness is
the highlight of the current
meeting, the track will run four
days next week. The final day
is Thursday.
** * *
Bill Jaeger, Laurel’s publicity
director, says John Schapiro,
president of that track, was
lucky to see the recent Italian
Derby. Schapiro checked in at
the American Consulate in Rome
to get a couple of matters
straightened out, and casually
inquired when the race would be
run. The clerk said he'd find out.
“It's scheduled in a half hour.”
was the reply.
“John rushed out to the track,”
Jaeger reported, “and got there
just as the jockeys were coming
into the paddock. He saw the
race, but, not having an inter
preter, he couldn’t talk to any
body, so I don’t know what he’s
done about getting an Italian
horse for the Washington, D. C.,
International.”

The Industrial Baseball Leaguo
Is without an unbeaten team
today, following Silver Hill’s 6-3
defeat at the hands of Union
Printers on the West Ellipse.
After opening its season with
a pair of lopsided victories. Sil

six-hit pitching of the Printers’
Gene Collins, who blanked the
Gravelmen the last five innings
before the game was cut short
by darkness at the end of eight.
Bill Garner's four hits and
three runs batted in paced the
Printers’ nine-hit attack on Bob
Costinett and Nick Panella.
Indian Head scrambled for
five runs in the eighth inning to
beat Library of Congress, 8-4,
for its third victory in a row in
the Anacostia League game at
