JAMAICA RACE MAY SHED LIGHT
Summer Tan Making
His 1955 Debut Today
NEW YORK, April 4 UP). —A
little more light should be thrown
on the 3-year-old situation to
day when Summer Tan makes
his 1955 debut at Jamaica, but
meanwhile unbeaten Boston
Doge is the subject of much
argument among racing fans.
Summer Tan, carrying the
silks of Mrs. John W. Galbreath,
is slatfd to make his first start
of the year against four so-so’s
of his in a race at a mile and
one-sixteenth. The son of Helio
polis hasn’t raced since he’won
the rich Garden State Stakes
last fall and boosted his earnings
for the year to $230,420, tops
among the 2-year-olds.
Most people regard Mrs. Gal
breath’s bay colt as the most
serious challenger to Belair
Stud’s Nashua m the 81st Ken
tucky Derby May 7. He hung it
on the Belair ace once last year
and twice was a close second
while compiling a record of five
victories, four seconds and a
third in 11 starts.
The day after he won the Gar
den State Stakes Summer Tan
became ill and for a number of
days there was doubt if he would
live. But he recovered, trained
well in Florida during the winter
and Saturday worked an im
pressive 6 furlongs in 1:12%.
He’ll carry 124 pounds today.
Just two less than his Derby as
signment.

the handy hunter class and
placed second in privately owned
hack'and privately owned hunter
class for his total of 81 2 points.
The Sheik, who was shown f n
all the junior classes in the

stable-owned hack and stable
owned hunter classes. The de
pendable grey gelding also placed
second in the knock-down-and
out class.
Titles Decided in Fall

visions will be decided in the
second show, which will be held
some time in the fall.

ney, who was ridden by Richard
Zimmerman to score 9 points.
In the reserve position at the
present time is Mrs. Mar

owned honors, where the cham

Saturday mornings and light the
fires—for a fee naturally. I de
cided not to ask for a cut for my
self. All I wanted was to get on
the right side of the Irishers.
Mom kept trying to make me
the way she wanted me to be.
She was deeply religious, and
she made us kids go to syna
gogue every Saturday. But I
was always looking to sneak out
of, the synagogue to play ball; so
particularly on holy days, she
would escort us inside and take
a seat in the first row, where
she could keep a sharp eye on
me in the children’s section. But
even then sometimes I’d man
age to get away.
Soon after we settled in an
other four-story tenement in
Ninety-second street, my mother
presented us with twin brothers,
Mike and Herman. It was a
tough spot for kids to be born
in. although that never stopped
any of the families in the neigh
borhood from multiplying. Kids
swarmed all over the streets and
tenement stoops. We all looked
alike, with raggedy clothes that
featured torn stockings and
wornout knees on our knickers,
like badges of hdnor. Any kid
who came around looking neat
was a sissy and due for a rough
time. Everybody was poor, and
nobody was supposed to try to
make it look any different.
I took to playing ball with an
Italian boy named Tony. Tony
had a 10-cent catcher's mitt of
his own. We go£ the idea to
make believe we were a big
league pitcher and catcher. He
had the mitt, so he was catcher.
It was the first time I ever
thought of being a pitcher, and
when I saw how good I could
throw ( a ball, I knew what 1
wanted to be when I grew up.
One day Tony and I were in
the middle of a loud argument.
Just then the elderly Italian
woman who lived across the hall
from us called to me to go .a
the house, my mother wanted
me. I made believe I didn’t hear
her, but the old lady insisted.
I found my mother sitting
alongside one of the cribs, weep
ing. Lou was standing near bar
f
Boston Doge’s easy triumph
at 6 furlongs In Saturday’s Ex
perimental Handicap apparently
left unanswered the question
whether the little Boston-owned
colt of Paul Andolino can go
the Derby distance of a mile and
quarter.
The son of the Doge, himself
known chiefly for his speed, won
by 3 lengths in 1:10% under
115 pounds. It was his fifth
triumph as a 3-year-old, all at
sprint distances. He was un
beaten in four starts over New
England tracks last year and
| didn’t jump into prominence
\ until the Florida season. His
| earning total only $47,420.
Supporters of Boston Doge
say he can make it mighty un
comfortable fbr the more highly
regarded horses in longer races,
such as the Derby. On the
other side are those who con
tend the fleet colt is too small
to carry the Derby weight of
126 pounds for the mile and a
quarter.
Boston Doge probably make
his next stprt in the $30,000-
added Governors Oold Cup at
Bowie April 16. That also is a
6-furlong race.. He has not
been named for the April 23
running of the SIOO,OOO-added
Wood Memorial, which figures
to be the last Derby prep for
Nashua and Summer Tan. It is
at a mile and one-sixteenth.

Brundage in Australia, Admits
Concern Over 1956 Olympics
SYDNEY, Australia. April 4
UP). —Avery Brundage. president
of the International Olympic
Committee, arrived here today
to investigate the progress Aus
tralia has been making on the
1956 games—and promptly ad
mitted he was worried.
“However, I cannot see how
Melbourne can lose the Games
unless I discover something seri
ous that has been overlooked in
the startling reports I have read,”
he said.
Only last week, Brundage made
plans for his hurried trip here
after hearing unofficial reports
of work stoppages and other
snags that have caused Austra
lian officials alarm.
“I have been much disturbed
by reports of strikes and con
struction difficulties,” Brundage
observed. "Official reports of
Melbourne’s progress have been
good, unofficial reports very bad.
My visit is more unofficial than
official.”
All work on the major stadium
was halted three weeks ago by
a carpenters’ dispute with the
contractors. Until this outbreak,
it was thought that the Aussies
Robinson Critical of Alston
Because of Part-Time Role
NASHVILLE, Tenn.. April 4
Robinson still hasn’t
won the Brobklyn third base job
and he’s far from happy over the
prospect of warming the bench.
In discussing his probable
opening day lineup, Manager
Walt Alston said that he was
set everywhere except leftfleld
and third base. In yesterday’s
5-1 loss to the Milwaukee Braves.
Robinson watched from the
bench while Don Hoak held down
third base.
“If he’s not going to play me,”
Robinson complained, “let him
get rid of me. When I’m fit, I’ve
got as much right to be playing
as any man on this team, and
Alston knows it. Or maybe he
doesn’t know it.”
Tony DeMarco Out
Os Action Until He
Passes Physical
BOSTON, April 4 (TP).—The
Massachusetts Boxing Commis
sion today listed Tony DeMarco,
world welterweight boxing cham
ion, as “unavailable until such
time as he passes a physical
examination by a commission
doctor.”
The decision was made after a
report from Dr. Nicholas J.
King, commission physician,
who said Boston's new tltlist
suffered a hand Injury and cuts
near his eye Friday night in
winning the title from Johnny
Saxton.
Dr. King reported M was
able to examine Tony's right
hand and head only superficially
Friday night. Under the com
mission rules DeMarco must
apply in person for the examina
tion which probably make him
once again eligible to fight.
There have been reports

finally had surmounted all ob
stacles In their way.
“We have been told that our
preparations at a comparable
stage are in advance of those
for the 1952 Helsinki games,”
said Lt. Gen. W. Bridgeford, the
executive officer.
But Brundage is not con
vonced. He will fly to Melbourne
late today and stay a week, in
vestigating all rumors and hold
ing conferences with top officials
of the games. Armed with his
own observations, he will make
an overall report to the IOC in
Paris next month.
Brundage added that the
United States is extremely dis
appointed at reports of inade
quate accommodations for vis
itors to the games.
“I am certain that these re
ports have discouraged many
Americans from making plans
to visit the games,” Brundage
said. “But that’s Australia’s
problem, not ours.”
After Brundage leaves Mel
bourne he will fly to Tokyo.
“Japan has invited us to hold
the 1960 games there and I
plan to look over their prepara
tion plans,” he said.
Robbie thinks he’d be playing
now if the manager Intended to
open the Season with him in the
lineup.
“I’m* 36 years old,” Robinson
continued, “and I can’t play one
day and sit down for two or
three. I’ve got to play to stay
in shape and if he’s not playing
me how he’s not figuring on
playing me opening day.” .
Hoak is Robbie's main com
petition for the job and Alston
like the way Don handles him
self.
“Hoak has hit as consistently
as anyone on the team,” Alston
said. “His hits have been good
and some balls that have been
caught have been well socked.
“Robinson might be in left
field. I’m not thinking of him
as a second baseman.”
Alston has been switching his
lineup around almost dally, but
actually he doesn’%jiave to an
nounce his team. No one is
going to replace Roy Campanella
as catcher. Nor will any one
oust Gil Hodges at first base.
Peewee Reese at shortstop, Duke
Snider In center field or Carl
Purlllo in right field.
“If the season were to start
tomorrow, Junior Gilliam would
be at second base,” he said, ap
parently ending speculation that
Don Zimmer would get the job.
“If I had to pick between Sandy
Amoros and Bert Hamric to play
left field, I’dj take Amoros.”

Series Started in 1931
The McMillan cup series was !
started in 1934 with the dona
tion of the cup by Hugh Me- j
Miilan of Princeton and Balti- i
more. The trophy was specifically i
donated for large yacht com- j
petition as against dinghy com
petition.
The Intercollegiate Yacht Rac
ing Association sponsors the:
series.
The regatta was suspended
after World War H because no
one-design, large-boat fleet was
available. In 1949, however, the
Naval Academy offered use of
its 44-foot yawls.
Since 1950, the regatta has
been held at Annapolis and has
been an annual feature of the
intercollegiate racing season. The
yawls, all Os them supplied by
the Academy, are assigned by
drawing lots.
Virginia Beach
Lists Senior
Golf Division
VIRGINIA BEACH. Va., April
4 (IP). —The old pros are going:
to get a break in the $17,500
Virginia Beach Open golf tour
nament here April 20-24. A
special purse of $2,500 has been
set aside for pros over 45.
Officials of the 72-hole medal
play tournament decided to add
the division in order to create
interest among the older name
pros who still can draw the pub

indicated he will be on hand to
defend his title. Other old
timers who have been invited are
Tommy Armour, Johnny Farrell,
Billy Burke, Bobby Cruickshank,
Wiffy Cox, Mortie Dutra, Ed
Dudley, Die Metz (who has just
passed the 45-year mark) 1 and
Fred McLeod of Columbia Coun
try Club, Washington. McLeod
won the National Open way back
in 1905.
The older pros will play over
the 72-hole route and will be
eligible for the $3,500 top money.
In addition, they will v compete
for special senior prizes, includ
ing a SI,OOO top award.
Lifeguards Search
For Body of Clark,
Former Lions End
RED6NDO BEACH, Calif.,
April 4 (/P>.—Lifeguards contin
ued to search today for the body
of Wayne J Clark, 36. a former
end for the Detroit Lions. He
was presumed drowned after he
plunged into heavy surf from a
pier Saturday.
Ronald Briggs, 16. told police
that he and Clark, residents of
nearby Hawthorne, were fishing
from a pier. He said Clark asked:
“Want to see me swim in these
waters? I’m a good swimmer.”
Clark plunged in. A short time
later other members of the party
heard him calling for help while
clinging to one of the pier pil
ings. By the time aid arrived,
Clark had disappeared.
Clark, a purchasing agent,
played for the Lions in 1944 and
1945 after a collegiate career at
the University of Utah. His wife,
Catherine, was asleep in their
car near the pier when Clark
went into the water.

ALL QUIET AT NAVY AS KIDS
STOW GLOVES UNTIL 1956
ANNAPOLIS, April 4 (Special).—All is quiet on the Navy
boxing front today.
The big, heavily-padded 12-ounce gloves which were
cutting through the spring air yesterday have been put
away from another year and again the annual boxing
tournament for youngsters of Naval Academy personnel
has gone off without a serious hitch.
Spike Webb started It all in 1918. The former Naval
Academy boxing coach was on hand yesterday, even though
he retired last June.
Nobody wins these bouts, which have become a social
program or get-together as much as anything else. With
their parents and sisters cheering them on, the male
small-fry slugged it out. Well, perhaps “slugged” is not the
correct terminology. Some didn’t want to fight at all;
others wanted to get it over with.
Altogether, there were 48 bouts between children from
5 to 12 years of age and weighing from 35 to 110 pounds.
And afterwards, ice cream and cookies were supplied
by the mothers, who were just as relieved as some of the
youngsters when The "battling” was over.
Every bout was a draw.
