They had seen Calumets Calumet's Whirl- Whirl away awny take the winning money-winning record record record rec rec- ord away from Sea biscuit They had seen the flashy Armed take the cold cash collection away from both Assault and Stymie only to have Hirsch Jacobs' Jacobs 1500 claimer regain regain regain re re- re- re gain the lead in the race to be first to earn a million dollars in purses Ben and Jimmy Jones are not quite sure how the veteran Armed will come along But both are pretty sure that whatever Stymie turns in in Citation will beat it it putting putting putting put put- ting Calumet ahead again With the Derby purse and over under his saddle Citation faces the Preakness and the Bel- Bel mont That will mean close to another another another an an- other But that isn't all There is the American Derby at Chicago there Chicago there is the Massachusetts Handicap at Suffolk Downs there Downs there is the Suburban Suburban Suburban ban at there Belmont there is the Santa Anita Handicap there Handicap there isso is isso isso so much money on hand that racing racing rac rae ing can almost match some of these radio programs where I understand understand understand under under- stand they will give away entire e estates states fairly soon The big races on ahead for three- three year olds run from OOOO to and it is quite possible that Citation Citation Citation Ci Ci- tation will finish his year three-year-old career above the spot We talked with Ben and Jimmy Jones about this situation The Jones boys are arc a trifle better than normally bright citizens They would rather talk about what has already happened or what might happen tomorrow than about what whit might happen next month They are not limb climbers They have haye no use for limbs except those limbs belongIng belonging belonging belong belong- ing to Calumet runners You made or more I 1 said to Parnell Ben a year ago how much will you make this trus year with Citation Coaltown Fervent Armed Faultless and your two- two year-olds year two millions HAll All I know is what weve we've won BO eo far Ben said Ben Jones counts no pur purses es before beCore before be be- fore Core they are collected and nd put in oL LL L me we DanK oarn mere is a rumor OUt oui that his year two-year-olds will soon chase Citation and Coaltown off aU the tracks It could happen Baseballs Baseball's s Upsets It may be that the cold raw windy spring has had more than a little to do with the odd aspect of the two big league pennant races Something has taken place that has hasan hasan hasan an odd l lopsided look For example if we owned a ball club and someone had offered us three pitchers the odds are we would have broken both legs in a sprint for Ewell Blackwell Hal and Warren Spahn Well it so happens happens' that the last time we looked we discovered neither Blackwell nor was among the first 40 in his respective respective respective re re- re- re league Both had been blasted and blistered blistered blistered blis blis- start after start in the manner manner manner man man- ner of a brace of rookies Also Bob Feller had been chased to the showers showers showers show show- ers two or three times tunes Looking over these morbid details details details de de- de- de tails we discovered the Athletics and Indians leading the league and the Browns playing as well as any other team They beat the Yankees in a game a a 1 t 1 L a VU a away JY num numby by poor umpiring as far as eyesight eyesight eyesight eye eye- sight goes This made a difference of two games for the Yankees and two games for the Browns What Makes lakes a Coach Frank Leahy is a great coach He also has the best material Does Leahy make the material great Or does docs the material make Leahy great Ill I'll let you answer that one There are at least two coaches I know who have the jump on Leahy or any other coach you can mention in the way of what you might call a ua favorable press Which isn't unimportant These two men are Herman Hickman now of Yale and Bo McMillin now of the Detroit Lions Hickman and McMillin have left two big gaps at Army and Indiana where whee they have been big factors not only as coaches but in the way of popular appeal In this season on ahead both Hickman and McMillin are heading for rough roads of travel Hickman will ne need d all of his art as a star starline starline starline line coach to give Yale a first-class first line The Blue has the backs but the line material of other years is missing none missing none of those big guards and tackles is lingering under the elms McMillin has many notches to climb before his Lions are up with the Cardinals Bears Eagles and Giants GIants to to mention only a few But they still will draw a good press and hold the loyalty of their supporters supporters supporters sup sup- porters for a year at least what least what whatever ever happens When you can do that in a game as frenzied as football football foot foot- football ball you ou have tave to be popular i |
