C-4 ** THE EVENING STAR Washington, D. C. FRIDAY. JUNE 11, 10S1 Four $2,250 Events Scheduled Tonight : At Laurel Raceway > What originally were sched- c tiled as two $3,000 trots on to- 1 night’s harness racing program i at Laurel Raceway have drawn c so many entries they have been split into four $2,250 events. 1 The two divisions of the Sykes- s ville will go as the second and t seventh races, while the two divi- 1 sions of the Howard County go i as the fourth and sixth races. The seventh race appears the l feature attraction, with four • Hambletonian eligibles in the 10-horse field. Pronto Boy, 3-year-old brother 1 of the well-known Pronto Don, may be the favorite in the sev- | enth. Pronto Boy already has earned $23,000 with Benny Schue driving, a fine figure for a 3- year-old but still well below his brother’s total as the greatest ] money-winning trotter of all 1 time. Pronto Boy holds the 1 world record of 2:05 and 2:05% 1 . for a two-heat race by a juvenile trotting gelding. 11 The other Hambletonian eligi- r bles entered are Lullisab. Cronus : e and Long Song, Cronus will be s making his first start this year, 1 5 while the other two were winners | ( at Rosecroft. I Pronto Don was the favorite r in last night’s SIO,OOO feature, the Washington Cup free-for all trot, but finished out of con- j. tention as Lady Dunn, owned by ( Carl H. Scholl and driven by j Harry Miller, led all the way to s win ih 2:04. That was her fastest i t time this season, and her payoffs j were $36, SIB.BO and SB. Katie Key took second and Lord Stew- j. ard third. , The fastest time of the night t. was the 2:03% by Ichabod Crain in the secondary feature, the $3,000 sixth race pace. 1 Newcomer Reaches 1 Women's Playoff I h Mrs. Edward Sills of Indian V Spring still has an opportunity a to win the first golf tournament p she ever entered in the playoff , for the Women’s District Golf !

J. Griffith of Wash- f ( ington, 92-18 —74. n U. 5., Canadians Even \ In Hopkins Matches - By tho Associated Press TORONTO, June 11.-Can ada’s hopes of finally winning an international golf tournament from the United States appeared C somewhat brighter today as the pros went into the second day of the Hopkins Tropny matches all square with 9 points each. Six-man teams ended yester- . day’s opening round singles with an even split of points in the match play competition, scored i : under the Nassau system. And Canada played without one of its top competitive performers— long-driving Stan Leonard. Leonard was sidelined with a ; bad rash over his forearms and hands. But the draw for today’s three four-ball matches was de- i layed until almost tee-off time in the hopes that Leonard might ( be able to play. Bobby Locke of South Africa,! playing on the Canadian team as an honorary member of the Canadian Professional Golfers Association and Gordie Brydson picked up 6 of the Dominion’s points—3 each. Jerry Barber, subbing for Ed (Porky) Oliver, also came up with 3 points for the United States. Marty Furgol added 2%, Chandler Harper 2 and Walt Burkemo. captain of the United States team. 1%, for the re mainder of the American points. Scholz Kayoes Delmine BERLIN.

Left uppercut flush to the Belgian’s chin ended the scheduled 10-round contest ab ruptly after 1:30 of the fourth. ■- = i Why Mot— DC YOUR OWN HAULING Rotas bt Hoot Do* ot Wook 4030'VlSC AVI WO $-3231 Longo Confident of Knockout In Tuesday's Bout With Smith Tony Longo, Baltimore’s scrappy little Italian fighter, says he isn’t letting Gene Smith’s reputation as a slugger bother him They meet in a 10-round featherweight fight next Tues day night at Turner’s Arena, and Longo says that if any one does any knocking out, he will be the one. Longo is the busy type of fighter who depends more on speed than skill, using a system that wears down his opponents. He likes to be on the offensive all the time. Longo is exuding confidence in his Baltimore training quarters. Mrs. Jones' Eastern Golf Win Climaxes 7 Years of Lessons By the Associated Press WETHERSFIELD, Conn., June 11.—Seven years of golf lessons from her father paid, off for Mrs. Mae Murray Jones of Rutland, Vt. The - 28-year-old wife of a Montpelier, Vt., granite dealer not only won the Women’s East ern Golf Association champion ship yesterday with 221—11 | strokes ahead of Defending Champion Mary Ann Downey of Baltimore—but broke two tour nament records to boot. Mrs. Jones’ opening day round of 71 bettered the record for 18 holes set by Pat O’Sullivan of Orange in 1948 when the latter had a 72. Her final 221 was seven better than the record for the 54 holes which was set in 1938 by Maureen Orcutt. It was Mrs. Jones’ first major tournament victory in the 13 years she has been playing com petitive golf. Two Royce Martin Horses Bought by Virginians ly tho Associated Pros* NEW YORK, June 11.—Two horses formerly belonging to the Woodvale Farm, which was sold at public auction at Belmont Park yesterday, are now owned by Virginians.

Atkinson Takes Spiil, Then Rides To Belmont Triple By Associated Press NEW YORK, June 11.—Ted Atkinson, one of the Nation’s top jockeys got off the ground to complete a riding triple at Belmont Park. 'After winning the first race yesterday with Milanza and the seventh with Flapper, Atkinson was tossed from Thymus en route to the post for the start of the final event. The 44-year-old Canadian rider was knocked unconscious for a few minutes but refused a ride in an ambulance and chose Thymus instead. And then he won with something to spare. Jim Nichols, who also was thrown from his mount at the same time, finished second with Deep River. The payoffs on Atkinson’s three winners were: Milanza, $6.30, Flapper $8.30 and Thy mus $8.70. Capt. Bogart Cards 82 In U. S. Senior Tourney Special Dispatch to The Star RYE, N. Y., June 11.—Capt. I. C. Bogart of the Chevy Chase Country Club, Md., shot an 82 and a fellow club member, Col. E. C. Kavanagh, a 99. as the second half of the field in the United States Seniors Golf As sociation got under way yester day at the Apawamis Club. Dr. J. B. Pollard of the Naval Aca demy shot 80. John Ellis Knowles of Rye, five-time champion, carded a 74 and defending Champion Frank D. Ross of West Hartford. Conn., a 75, to move into title con tention with 18 holes to go. Herman Nickerson Dies LINCOLNVILLE. Maine, June 11 (JP), —Herman Nickerson, 84, once secretary of the Boston Braves and a former news editor of the Boston Globe, died yes terday. He was secretary of the Braves from 1912 to 1915 and saw the team win the World Series from the Philadelphia Athletics in four games in 1914. Belmont (Continued From Page C-l.) I Oaks, the filly version of the Belmont. Correlation, owned by Robert | S. Lytle, was the favorite in the | Kentucky Derby and Preakness, < the two previous jewels of the Triple Crown, but ran sixth in the Derby and second in the Preakness. Other entries are: Mrs. J. R. H. Thouron’s War of Roses, the Greentree Stable's Palm Tree, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hoffman’s Limelight, Mrs. Liz Whitney j Person's Porterhouse. William Goadby Lowe’s Kilimanjaro,; C. T. Chenery’s entry of Prince | Hill and 'Permian, Foxcatcher Farm’s Chevation, Hal Price Headley’s Pinetum, C. V. Whit-! ney’s Fisherman and John Barry j Ryan’s Buttevant. Porterhouse and Correlation have been nursing aches and pains, but seem to be recuperat mg. Seeking Fourth Victory,. Palm Tree is being counted upon to give the Greentree Stable its fourth Belmont vic tory, while High Gun could make ' it No. 3 for Robert J. Kleberg t Twenty Grand gave Greentree its first victory in 1931, Shut Out duplicated the feat in 1942 and Capot won in 1949. Assault completed the Derby-Preakness- Belmont Triple in 1946 and Mid dleground won the 1950 Belmont for Kleberg, who owns the King Ranch. Fisherman, probably the small est horse in the field, could make it three Belmonts for Whitney. Fisherman is a son of Phalanx, who won in 1947. Counterpoint repeated for Whitney in 1951. Two Top Horses Absent. Absence of Determine, the Kentucky Derby winner, and Hasty Road, who took the Preak ness, accounts in part for the big bunch of contenders here. One of them might eventually be crowned the 3-year-old cham pion, but a lot of things can happen. Seven of the last eight Bel mont winners have gone on to be voted the champion of their j year. Furthermore, a peek back to 1951 and 1952 shows what could happen. Counterpoint was 11th in the 1951 Derby, second in the Preakness and after winning the Belmont and other major races became Horse of the Year. One Count missed the Derby, finished third in the Preakness, then nabbed the Belmont and 3-year- i old honors. Phalanx was second in the Derby and third in the Preak ness, but his Belmont score put him over as ruler of the 1947 campaign. This is the first time ih 10 years that neither the Derby nor I Preakness winner has shown up for the Belmont. jfiSf r HIGHEST TRADE-lfe| mi, \ ALLOWANCES IN TOWN I ’S4FORD| Determine Shoots Tomorrow for Third 'Hundred Grander' By Mm Associated Pres* INGLEWOOD, Calif., June Jl. —Determine, Andrew J. Crevo lin’s $12,000 bargain buy who has won the SIOO,OOO Kentucky and Santa Anita Derbies this year, shoots for the top money in a third “hundred grander” at Hollywood Park tomorrow.' The event is the Californian, a new stakes on Hollywood’s rich program, in which Determine will run for the first time against older horses. Expected to compete against the little gray are Mrs. Ada L. Rice’s Pet Bully, who set a track record at Bowie this spring; Cal umet Farm’s Fleet Bird, the King Ranch’s High Scud and such others as Determined stablemate Imbros, Correspondent, Fleet Khal, Stranglehold, Laughin Louie and Trusting, 50,000 Crowd Expected. Determine undoubtedly will be the main attraction of the mile and one-sixteenth Californian, and teamed with Imbros will be the betting choice of a crowd expected to exceed 50,000. Determine won the Kentucky Derby at a mile and one-quarter carrying 126 pounds. Last Satur day he resumed racing under the same weight and ran a set of sprinters into the’ ground at 7 furlongs. Under conditions of the Cali fornian, he gets in with a mere 115 pounds, second high to Im bros at 118 pounds. Major Challengers. The major challengers, Fleet Bird, High Scud, Pet Bully and Stranglehold will carry 114 apiece. Crevolin said Ray York will again ride his Kentucky-bred champion, and Imbros will have Johnny Longden aboard. The latter probably will be used to kill off any speed horses out to steal the race. The Californian was designed to attract such handicap stars as Native Dancer and Tom Fool to Hollywood this summer. Tom Fool retired and Native Dancer, who would have been saddled with a comparatively easy load of 130 pounds, came up with a sore foot. White Skies Running In Monmouth Opener Special Dispatch to Tho Star OCEANPORT, N. J., June 11. —W. M. Wickham’s undefeated White Skies heads an antici pated field of six or seven sprinters for tomorrow’s $15,000- added Oceapport Handicap which features Monmouth Park's opening program. Post time for the first race will be 2:30 p.m. throughout the 50-day meeting. Generally acknowledged as the nation’s champion thorough bred sprinter. White Skies has been assigned 136 pounds ter the seven-furlong dash. He car ried 130 in the Paumonok, 132 in the Toboggan and 135 in the Roseben and is expected to be the odds-on choice tomorrow. Twenty stakes, worth $415,000 in added money, will be decided , during the meeting. General Manager Ed Brennan anticipates another good meeting, probably close to last year’s record-break ing session. Upperville Horse Show Opens; Top Breeding Stock on Hand Spocial Dispatch to TSo Star UPPERVILLE.

New Rule Expected I To Give Maryland Better Race Entries Spooioi Dispatch to Tho Slot BALTIMORE, June 11.—A better caliber of horses, resulting in better racing, is expected in Maryland next fall as a result of a new eligibility rule adopted by the recently formed Maryland Racing Council and approved by the State Racing Commission. The new rule provides that any horse 3 years old and up running in a race for a purse less than $1,500 after July 1 prior to the opening of a meeting on any Maryland mile track will be in eligible to race at B<wie> Pim lico or Laurel unless tha horse has finished first, second or third. Until now horses starting in claiming races for a price of less than $2,000 have been in eligible on the major tracks. This proved to be unsatisfactory, however, because there were times last spring when a horse required six or more preference stars before getting a chance to race. The council Is composed of representatives of Bowie, Laurel and Pimlico, the Maryland Breeders’ Association, the Mary land Minor Tracks’ Association, the Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association and tha American Trainers’ Association.
