Other traditional stakes events on the spring program are the Derby Trial on April 29, the Churchill Downs Handicap on May 1, the Kentucky Oaks on May 2, the Debutante Stakes on May 3, the Louisville Handicap on May 10 and the Bashford Manor Stakes on May 17. Churchill president Wathen Knebelkamp says the track's policy of prohibiting the bringing of alcholic beverages onto the grounds will be continued. "This is to prevent rowyism in the infield and public response to the rule has been completely favorable," Knebelkamp says.

The first post time on Derby Day again will be 11:30 a.m. The Derby is scheduled at 5:30 p.m. (KDT), an hour later than usual. The running again will be telecast by the Columbia Broadcasting System. Larry Sowders Leads DCJHS To Track Win Larry Sowders finished first in three events scoring 15 points to lead the Daviess County Junior High track team to a victory over Estes Junior High yesterday.

The Little Panthers tallied 90 points However, the U.S. District Attorney's office at Louisville reported Friday that there had been no indication of an appeal on the part of Moore. "We haven't received any manner of an appeal and have had no con- tact with him (Moore) or his attorneys," said Philip Huddles-ton, assistant U.S. district attorney. At this point, the case is a criminal matter," he said.

Huddleston added that if the induction order were being appealed the action would have to be initially filed with Moore's hometown draft board. A spokesman for the Owensboro board said Friday that no such appeal has been filed local- iy- The spokesman added that Moore maintained a 2-S student classification throughout his enrollment at Western Kentucky University. Moore received his draft physical examination on Aug. 9, 1967, was classified 1-A on Nov. 19, 1968, and failed to report for induction on Feb.

10, 1969. Moore dropped out of school at Western after the 1968 football season. If he had decided to re-enroll, he would have been permitted to reassume his 2-S classification and maintain it until Spetember, 1969, according to the Owensboro draft board.

OCHS got its third and final tally in the third as Randy Clark lined a single and Yeckering followed with a double to give Catholic its 3-0 lead. It was the Panthers the rest of the way, however, as walks to Buzz Stewart and Toya Ashby ahead of a single by Louie Anderson cut the county deficit to only one, 3-2.

Government versus former Owensboro High School and Western Kentucky Universi- ty football star Dickie Moore. ihe l-year-old Moore, who is in Canada where he has signed a professional football contract with the Toronto Argonauts, was indicted Monday by a federal grand jury at Paducah on a charge of failure to report for induction into the armed forces. In a report released Thursday by United Press International, a spokesman for the Toronto Argonauts said the induction order was under appeal by Moore, who is the father of an 11-month-old son. "He (Moore) was awaiting a ruling on his appeal when the indictment was handed down," the spokesman said according to UPI. "He and his lawyers hope this can all be cleared up without too much problem." Floridians Down Pacers 114-110 MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) -Miami guard Don Freeman hit two free thwos in the last 32 seconds and Maurice McIIartly stole the ball from Indiana only seconds remaining to give the Miami Floridians a 114-110 victory Friday night and send the best-of-7 series back to Indi ana for game No. 5. Indiana, which finished first in the Eastern Division of the American Basketball Association, won the first three games of the Eastern final series. The winner of this series plays the winner of the Western Division championship between New Orleans and Oakland for the ABA title. The Pacers closed to within two points, 112-110, with 42 seconds left, but Freeman then made one free throw in each of two one and one situations.

McHartley's theft with less than 10 seconds to go clinched it. Indiana's Roger Brown took game honors with 44 points, including 14 of 22 two-point field goal attempts, but his hot shooting was unable to overcome the second half Miami surge. The Floridians, down by five at the half, won the third quar ter by seven points to take a two-point lead and added two more points to the winnirg margin in the fourth quarter. Miami forward Don Sidle once again led his team with 27 points, including a 12 of 17 field goal effort. He got help Friday night from Willie Murrell who hit for 26 points.

Mel Daniels, the ABA's most valuable player, played only 26 minutes and scored only 12 points because he was in foul trouble most of the game. He fouled out with 3:15 left in the game when Miami was ahead by nine points.

According to UPI, Moore said that he did not know how the indictment would affect his residence status in Canada. But he felt it would not conflict with the agreement he signed several months ago with the Argonauts. An all-state football selection while at Owensboro High, Moore set school and Ohio Valley Conference rushing records during his career as a fullback at Western. He was named to the Associated Press Little Ail-American team after the 1967 season and missed most of the 1968 football campaign due to a leg injury.

The first post time is 1 :45 p.m. The feature of the 19-day meeting, of course, is the 95th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 3. But the feature of the opening-day card is the Stepping Stone, a seven-furlong allowance purse in which Majestic Prince, the favorite for the Derby, is expected to prep. Top Knight, the two-year-old champion which currently shares equal billing with "the Prince" in Derby ratings, may not have a prep race before the Derby, according to trainer Ray Metcalf.

The Stepping Stone, has been a good proving ground for several Derby candidates in recent years. Swaps won the 1955 Stepping Stone, then called the Jefferson Purse, and went on to fieat Nashua in the run for the roses. Others which made that -their final test include Sword IDancer in 1959, Bally Ache and Venetian Way in 19G0, Sir Gay-lord in 19(52, Never Bend in 1963, "Tom Rolfe in 1965, and Kentucky Sherry last year.

His 66 had led the opening day. "I tried not to think about leading," he said. "But I did think about it a lot. Yeah, I guess there was plenty of pressure out there." Aside from Greene, the other first-round leaders couldn't cope, and dropped back in the pack. Bunched behind the leaders, two strokes off the pace at 139, were lefty Bob Charles of New Zealand, who had a second round 70; Julius Boros, the 49-year-old PGA king who added a 72 to his opening 67; Australian Bruce Crampton, 70, and U.S.
