The Morning Call from Allentown, Pennsylvania • 56

SUNDAY CALL-CHRONICLE, May 2, 1982 1 ato dl woimirDOir C-8 Continued From Page C1 Don MacBeth, aboard Reinvested, said: "There was too much traffic and too many horses to get through, but toward the end, I thought I was going to win until I got to the 16th pole, and the other horses started to pull away on me." There was one less three-year-old in the 108th Derby than expected. That was Rock Steady, who was scratched. But another longshot really wasn't needed they did all right without Rock Steady. Completing the order of finish, in a race that belonged to the common people with so many top Derby hopefuls out of action, were Muttering, Rockwall, Air Forbes Won, Star Gallant, Majesty's Prince, Cupecoy's Joy, El Baba, Wavering Monarch, Cassaleria, Royal Roberto, Music Leader, Bold Style, Wolf ie's Rascal, New Discovery and Real Dare. A lot of stars might have been missing, but the fans certainly weren't.

They came to bet on a warm but overcast day, wagering a record $5,011,575 on the Derby, breaking the old mark of $4,566,179 set last year. Those lucky enough, or smart enough, to bet on Gato del Sol -were rewarded with the biggest winning mutuel return since Proud Clarion paid $62.20 in 1967. It was a great day for lovers of trivia and for sentimentalists. Many hearts were captured by and many dollars were lost on Cassaleria, the one-eyed colt who suffers from claustrophobia. Gato del Sol broke from the No.

18 post. Only one Derby winner has started farther outside Clyde Van Deusen started from the No.20 slot in a 21-horse field in 1929. Cupecoy's Joy was trying to join Regret in 1915 and Genuine Risk in 1980 as the only fillies to win the Derby, while Real Dare was trying to become the eighth gelding, and the first since Clyde Van Deusen, to win the Derby. Angel Cordero, riding Air Forbes Won, tried for his third Derby victory on a colt whose sire, Bold Forbes. turn.

Delahoussaye then had him in the middle of the pack, seven horses wide, as the run began down the backstretch. As the field came out of the final turn, there were five horses abreast Air Forbes Won, El Baba, Muttering, Cupecoy's Joy and Gato del Sol. Then, the duel began, and Gato del Sol was up to the challenge. Delahoussaye hit him eight times during the stretch run, and he won in true championship style. Gato del Sol was overlooked, not only by the experts, but also by the public in what became a sort of poor man's Derby, with many of the stars on the sidelines.

There was the filly, the gelding, and several colts whose records suggested they didn't belong in the field but the kind who have made racing history before. And then there was Cassaleria, who lost his left eye shortly after being foaled. One of his five owners, Tom Gentry, handed out T-shirts and buttons during the week that read "Cassalaria" in the Daily Racing Form Friday, and shortly before the Derby began, a plane flew overhead towing a sign that read "Our hearts are with you, Cassaleria." The well-wishes weren't enough to carry Cassaleria to victory. Air Forbes Won was trying to duplicate the feat of his daddy, Bold Forbes, who carried Cordero to victory in the 1976 Derby, and El Baba was trying to become the first horse to come out of the Arkansas Derby to win the big one in Kentucky. Laser Light was winless in three starts this year.

But such an astute horseman as John Nerud, who is connected with Tartan Stable, which sent but Muttering, said two days bif he ran to the form he showed last fall when he won the Remsen Stakes. That race was won by the 1981 Derby winner, Pleasant Colony. Reinvested, owned by Harbor View Farm, didn't race as a two-year-old but had won three races this year, including the Budweiser Tampa Bay Derby. He was fifth carried Cordero into the winner's circle in 1976. Gato del Sol became the fourth gray to win the Derby the others were Determined in 1954, Decidedly in 1962 and Spectacular Bid iri 1979.

His first victory in five starts this year, and his third triumph in 13 career starts, was worth $417,600 and boosted his career bankroll to $724,793. And jockey Bill Shoemaker added to a long list of records in his brilliant career. The 50-year-old "Shoe" rode in a record 22nd Derby in search of his fourth victory and first since 1965, when he rode Lucky Debonair. But Shoemaker was another who had traffic problems, his colt getting bumped and knocked sideways before the first turn aboard Star Gallant. While Star Gallant wasn't up to the task, Shoemaker wasn't surprised by the outcome.

"I thought Gato del Sol was the horse to beat," said Shoemaker. Lots of others in the crowd were more surprised. The $44.40 return was the biggest winning mutuel payoff since Proud Clarion returned $62.20 to win in 1967. Last year, Gato del Sol won two of eight starts, including the Del Mar Futurity. He also finished second once and was third three times while earning $220,828.

This year, he was unable to win until yesterday, although "he finished second in the San Felipe Hanicap and second in the Blue Grass, beaten 5 V2 lengths by Linkage, a colt whose trainer, Henry Clark, decided to skip the Derby. Although Gato del Sol was the hero to the Churchill Downs throng and to millions watching on national television, this Derby also will be remembered for some of the top colts who didn't make it to the starting gate. In fact, the road to Churchill Downs began to look like an equine demolition derby, as Timely Writer was sidelined by an abdominal problem, Hostage broke a bone in his right front foot and several others were put out by illness and injury in the weeks leading to the Derby. Gato del Sol, whose style for most of his races has been to come from off the pace, was last around the first if Associated Press Mrs. Leone J.

Peters, wife of co-owner of Gato del Sol, kisses hand of jockey Eddie Delahoussaye in the winner's circle. in the Wood Memorial, which Air Forbes Won had won to remain unbeaten in aces going into the Derby. Laser Light earned $60,000 for his excellent performance. Reinvested's surprising showing was worth $30,000, while Water Bank's fourth place earned him $15,000. Ted Williams: good field, no hit Red Sox hitters.

Williams grumbled: "Yeah, whenever I was in the on-deck circle, I could hear Baker shouting, Here it comes, get a But when I got up, everybody made so damn much noise that I never heard him. Never helped me at all." He inquired about Kent Hrbek, the tall Minnesota Twin first baseman who leads the American League in homers and models himself after Williams. "Never met him," Williams rumbled. "I'll talk to him soon. Promise.

But you can tell him this. The first time around the league they'll give him fastballs to see what he can do with them. The second time around he should expect nothing but sliders." He changed into the familiar creamy white uniform with No.9 on the back, which he wears in the spring as a batting adviser, and he joined the players on the field Dick Radatz, Frank Malzone, Jackie Jensen, Walt Dropo as a rising ripple of cheers spread around the park. "Come on and hit!" shouted Don Zimmer, the Rangers' manager, waiting at the batting cage. "I've been waiting here since 8 30.

Williams went into the cage and laid down two bunts, a shock to managers and unpaid advisers in the press who would have liked to see him bunt more. "That's enough," he announced after the two bunts. Taking easy strokes against a batting-practice pitcher, he lofted two long flies to right field, a liner to left-center, a tip and a pop, and then two more shots to the outfield. In his last swing, he slashed a line drive off the cage protecting first base. In the dugout, Williams hugged his son.

John Henry, a dark, handsome 13-year-old wearing a Red Sox uniform and serving as bat boy. "He's a pain in the butt now but he'll probably be worse in three years," Williams rumbled, hugging the boy again. "Hey, did I tell you, I got those photos from Africa? I got the one of you kissing a tapir." John Henry smiled at his father with a look that seemed, to a stranger, to be one of adoration. After the introductions, the crowd was asked to say a silent prayer for Tony Conigliaro, a hero of the 1967 pennant-winners, now in a coma following a heart attack. The game began with trim Jim Lonborg, another 1967 hero and now a second-year student at Tufts Dental School, pitching.

Williams took a good cut but fell 50 feet short with a fly to Clyde Vollmer in right. "Ten years ago, that would have been out," said Curt Gowdy, announcing the game under his cowboy hat. But Williams gave the crowd a treat in a totally different way later. Mike Andrews popped a soft fly to short left and Williams plowed ahead, stuck out his left hand and gloved the ball at his ankles, as the crowd roared. Later he was struck out by Lee Stange, but made another catch, in left as Gowdy announced, "Williams can't get a hit but they're using him for his glove today." Continued From Page C1 Williams popped into the office of Manager Ralph Houk at 11 a.m., as informal as ever in a blue polo shirt, baggy slacks and gray hush-puppy shoes.

He spent the first hour gabbing with visitors and laughing when his long-time adversaries from the press greeted him as Bush. "Hey, Bush, you oughta be up in Maine, the salmon are hitting," one man said. "What size?" Williams asked, "Don'ttalk about fishing or he won't last till game time," Houk said. They did talk fishing, live bait vs. flies, and then Williams slowly moved into the subject he loved maybe even more than catching fish hitting a moving, spinning baseball.

"I just hope I don't get any of those smelly hits like Goodman and Runnels and Pesky used to get," he roared as the old singles hitters greeted him. Jim Piersall wandered in and recalled how he used to play center field alongside Williams. "One night somebody hits a fly to left field and I hear you yell, 'Take it, Jim, take it So I take it, and later I ask why, and you say you lost the ball in the moon." Williams laughed, suggesting the story might not be totally untrue. Piersall also recalled how Del Baker, a coach at the time, used to steal the catcher's signals and tip off the i 5 Associated Press FOOO LAN!

Winters then fouled Cheeks, who sank his free throws with five seconds left before Moncrief 's winning basket. Lanier sank two jump shots and scored on an offensive rebound, while Moncrief poured in eight points to help the Bucks break to a 29-14 lead. The Bucks collapsed their defense inside and forced eight Philadelphia turnovers in the first quarter.

Moncrief contributed six points to a 20-4 Milwaukee tear as the Bucks opened their 15-point lead. The 76ers switched to a halfcourt trap defense in the second quarter, but reserve Robert Smith fired inwo long jumpers and Marques Johnson scored on a drive as the Bucks stretched their lead to 39-21. But the trap forced the Bucks to use up much of the shot clock on several occasions and they had to take hurried shots. Two driving layups by Toney started a Philadelphia rally as the 76ers three times cut their deficit to nine points. Milwaukee led 48-37 at halftime.

anyone because they had four guys in there that we had to worry about," said the 76ers' Bobby Jones, who scored 13 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter as Philadelphia stormed back from an 18-point second quarter deficit. The 76ers outscored the Bucks 13-2 at the start of the second half and tied at 50-50 on a three-point play by Andrew Toney, who finished with 18 points. However, a basket on an offensive rebound and a steal and layup by Lanier regained momentum for the Bucks, who opened a 74-63 lead with 9:07 to play. Jones rallied the 76ers and scored on a drive to pull Philadelphia to within 89-87 with 2:24 left. Brian Winters sank one of two free throws with 2: 06 left as Milwaukee led 90-87.

After Caldwell Jones sank a jumper to bring to Philadelphia to within 90-89, neither team scored on the next five possessions, and the 76ers got a chance when Julius Erv-ing rebounded a missed shot by Sixers Continued From Page C1 clear-out on the weak side. It worked just like it was planned. I think they thought I was going to go on the strong side. "I had the option of taking it to the hoop or taking a jump shot," he said. "When they came up on me, I took it to the hoop and hoped I would make it or draw the foul.

My right hand was numb I think it's a nerve after I got hit hi the elbow but it didn't bother my shot." Philadelphia Coach Billy Cunningham said the 76ers had anticipated the play the Bucks ran. i "We pretty much knew who they would go to, but I'm not sure what happened because it happened so he said. "We had it covered, but it was a great individual play by Sidney Moncrief." 1 "We thought they would go to Sid, but we couldn't afford to double-team "Prowler" Whitewall STEEL-BELTED RADIAL TIRES Manufactured by B.F.
