Long regarded as two of Padres Climb Into Loop Lead Again With 10-4 Triumph By JACK DAIL.EY United Press SporU Writer SAN FRANCISCO, April 17 (U.R) Despite a little ice water tossing episode, friends and neighbors neigh-bors of Sacramento's Dick Bartell went ahead today with plans to honor the fiery manager at Oakland Oak-land tomorrow evening with an elaborate celebration. Southpaw Charlie Gassa-way Gassa-way and the other Oakland '.

Oakland reared back from its position at the bottom of the heap to turn aside the Solon challenge.

April The Kentucky Derby hopefuls were being readied today for their final big preview, the Wood Memoriail at Jamaica come Saturday, and two of the richest owners in the racing racket are going to find out whether they have '"bought" the 1947 run for the roses.

The other is Mrs. Elizabeth Ar-den Ar-den Graham, the cosmetics queen who turned from mudpacks to mudders about the same time as lie lis and runs him a photo for potatoes planted in horse highway. high-way. Her visions center around a sleek bundle called Jet Pilot, who, maybe significantly, copped his debut at Churchill Downs last Derby day.

Count Fleet, Twenty Grand, Hoop Jr. and Assault As-sault went on to take the jaunt for the juleps. Still, the way they go will give Helis and Mrs. Graham a tipoff on their chances. They may find, as have other heavy spenders, that more dollars and added time are necessary. Because it makes more than cash to collar Col. Matt Winn's blanket of American Beauties. The late Mrs. Ethel V. Mars was one of the first to discover that when she tried to buy the big race. Five years she tried before scoring her only triumph with an outsider, the gallant Galla- hadion who mowed down favored Bimelech in the stretch.

As a matter of fact they took their first whack at it last year, when Mrs. Graham's Gra-ham's big three Lord Bos- well, Knockdown and Perfect Bahram were favored. Helis, who was loaded down with stiffs when he appeared on the horse market with an in exhaustible bankroll, finally got a colt named Rippey to the post. It trailed home a disconsolate 12th. But this year they are back, and very hopefully. Helis first saw Cosmic Bomb at the 1945 Keeneland sales and determined to have him, a stubbornness- which once cost him $66,000 for the beautiful but almost al-most worthless Pericles. At $20,-000, $20,-000, the bidding narrowed to Helis and Frank Frankel. "Frank, I want this colt but if you keep on he'll cost me as much as Pericles," Helis warned. "if tnavs the case, you take him, Bill," Frankel replied, and Helis bid in the Bomb for $29,-500. Cosmic Bomb upheld Helis' judgment by winning the Arling ton futurity and the Cowdln Stakes and three others in 10 starts for earnings of $98,565.
