Belmont winner Bold Forbes holds on DAVE EMERY OF ARROYO FOUND HIMSELF OUTLEANED AT THE TAPE YESTERDAY Wyalt Bishop of Carlmont won tht state HO; Emery wound up third NEW YORK (UPI) Jockey Angel Cordero, who was afraid his "Puerto Rican Rolls Royee" might run out of gas in the mile Belmont Stakes, managed to watch most of a tremendous lead disappear Saturday before holding on for the victory. "I didn't think he could go that far," said the Puerto Rican jockey. "He's a sprinter. "I said to him, 'get me to the eighth pole and I'll get you By the eighth pole, Great Contractor was in close proximity and McKenzie Bridge was tearing down the stretch on the outside. "He got me to the eighth pole and we got home together," said Cordero, whose victory aboard the Kentucky Derby winner was greeted warmly by the crowd of 57,519 at Belmont Park, particularly the large Latin American congregation.

Cordero built a commanding lead aboard Rodriguez Tizol's Bold Forbes in the back stretch and was not really pressed, allowing the colt to have just enough left in the end. "I really started to work on him about the 3-16 pole," Cordero said. "At the head of the stretch he began to slow down. He was getting tired." In winning the $195,000 Belmont as the 4-5 favorite of the 57,519 fans at Belmont Park, Bold Forbes added $117,000 to his career earnings, bringing his total to $498,639. Bold Forbes, who was timed in 2:29, paid J3.80, $3.40 and $2.80.

McKenzie Bridge paid $5.00 and $3.80 with Great Contractor returning $3.80. The 8-2 exacta of Bold Forbes and McKenzie Bridge paid $23.40. Except for Bold Forbes, the field was an undistinguished one. However, the question of Bold Forbes' endurance encouraged several Sunday, June 6,1976 Page 17 trainers to take a shot at the Belmont particularly with a rich second place prize of The race developed exactly as expected with Bold Forbes breaking smartly from the gate and taking a two-length lead after the first quarter of a mile. Best Laid Plans was the only member of the field to race anywhere near Bold Forbes in the early going, but paid the price in the stretch as he faded to eighth.

At the top of the stretch, Bold Forbes held a commanding six-length lead, with McKenzie Bridge and Great Contractor beginning to move up to make their challenge. McKenzie Bridge, under Darrell McHargue, made an especially strong bid on the outside, but Cordero managed to keep the tiring Bold Forbes in front. The victory was Bold Forbes' 12th in 16 starts. After beating Honest Pleasure in the Lane wins state high jump title STEVE TADEVICH BERKELEY John Lane of American High became only the second Southern Alameda County athlete ever to win a California State Track and Field Meet individual title yesterday, clearing 6-11 on his first attempt in the high jump here at Edwards Stadium. Lane had the bar raised to 7-1 after clinching victory at 6-11, but missed in three attempts at what would have been a personal best by one inch.

He passed until 64 and then proceeded to clear that height and and 6-11 on his first attempts. The only other athlete ever to win an event from South County was Hayward High's Dick Dailey, who copped the high jump championship in 1954 with an effort of Four other South County athletes placed in the meet, as Washington's Conrad Jepsen, Arroyo's Dave Emery and Granada's Diana Stohr took third places with Sunset's Chris Koko taking a fifth. Jepsen was third in the shot put, Emery took third in the boys 880, Stohr was third in the girls 880 and Koko got his fifth in the 330 low hurdles. The team competition was a three-way tie as San Fernando, Kennedy of Barstow and Hamilton all totaled 12 points. Ironically, the only other time in the meet's 58-year history that a three-way tie occured was in 1930, also at Berkeley.

San Diego, Santa Ana and Sacramento all knotted with 11 markers that year. Billy Mulh'ns of Hamilton was responsible for all 12 of his team's points as he won both the 100 and 220 with respective times of 10.0 and 21.6, both into strong headwinds. Meanwhile, in the girls' competition, Berkeley claimed top honors with 20 points despite dropping the baton and failing to score in the 440 relay. Fremont of Los Angeles finished second with 13 points and Bell High amassed 12. "I just couldn't jump," was the first thing Lane said after missing his chances at 7-1.

"I'd have been happy with 7-1 but I'm not really satisfied with 6-11. That's only one inch better than I did last year (in placing third in the State Meet). "It's no big deal," he said about being the state champ. "It would have been a lot better if I'd cleared 7-1." Emery managed his feat in the closest race of the day as no one was really sure at the AMERICAN'S JOHN LANE SHOWS TYMCAL FORM AS HE CLEARS Ml TO WIN THE HIGH JUMP AT THE STATE MEET Lane attwvM three times at 7-1, but failed to negotiate the height finish if he was second, third or fourth. Emery and Wyatt Bishop of Carlmont High, who was the eventual winner in the half, went down the final straightaway shoulder to shoulder with Bishop holding off Emery by the slimmest of margins.

Unknown to both runners, though, Leonard Ledet of Washington of Los Angeles was coming up on the outside with Tim Brownlow of Femdale closing fast, too. There was little doubt that Bishop was the winner, but second through fourth place wasn't as easy to pick. Ledet was finally awarded second, clocked in 1:54.4 with Emery third and Brownlow fourth. Both were timed in 1:54.5. "I knew I'd have a kick left, I just didn't know how much," Emery said.

"I gave it everything I had. 1 tried to get ahead before the last straightway. "The last ten yards I struggled and I lost almost everything. I thought it was just me and the other guy (Bishop) at the tape and then I looked to the side and saw two others that were even with us. I didn't know if I had second or fourth.

"I knew once it got down to the last 110 yards it was going to take a lean to win it. That's when I first knew I could place. If the winners had been five yards ahead at the finish, I'd be upset, but this race was won by inches. And that's how much I missed by." Jepsen got off a throw that broke not only his own South County all-time best, but also the East Bay all-time best when his second effort of the day carried 63-9. At the time, it gave him a temporary lead in the shot, but the next man up, Lassen's Steve Please turn to page II, col.

1 George SHOULD beat Frazier, GEORGE FOREMAN should be able to beat Joe Frazier any time the two enter a boxing ring together. It is a simple matter of styles. Frazier knows only one way to fight. He comes right at you, like a machine. He never takes a backward step, keeps punching even in clinches.

But there js one way to stop Joe Frazier from punching and George Foreman found it three years ago in Kingston, Jamaica. A right uppercut literally lifted Frazier off both feet and sent him crashing to the canvas six knockdowns in two rounds and Foreman was the new heavyweight champion of the world. Angelo Dundee, the trainer for Muhammad Ali, was confident Ali would beat Foreman when the two met because of styles. Ali would stay away from George, who would punch himself out early. Ali did stay away from Foreman, not by running but by using the ropes.

The effect was the same. But Frazier's style is made to order for Foreman. That's why Dundee and the entire Ali camp think George will be the winner when he fights Smokin' Joe on June 15 at Nassau County Coliseum in New York. An opponent never has to go looking for Joe Frazier, Joe will always be right there in front of him, smokin' away. Lowell Hickey Frazier has never claimed that he is difficult to hit.

But if you hit him and he keeps coming, watch out. It's like missing a shot at a charging buffalo. That is how George Foreman has an advantage over most other fighters. As Ali himself admits, "George hit harder than I do." George hit harder than most anybody do. Standing in front of George Foreman in a ring is a little like standing in front of a Mack truck on a highway.

When either hits you, you're not likely to keep coming, not even if you're Joe Frazier. That's why George Foreman SHOULD win any time he fights Frazier. But fights are not won on paper. George will have to be as ready June 15 as he was January 22, 1973, in Kingston. Frazier may be easy to hit, but there is another thing about standing right there toe-to-toe the way Joe does.

It's easy for him to hit the other guy, too. No doubt, when Foreman beat Frazier the first time George was hungry. He weighed a lean 217 pounds. He was ready for all of Joe's smoke. Does Foreman still have that burning desire? You know Frazier will be in perfect condition; he always is.

Will Foreman? George was knocked down twice by Ron Lyle last January before coming back to finish Lyle off in the fifth round. He proved he has courage in that fight, but he did not look like the same George Foreman who beat Frazier. In the publicity packet sent out for the June 15 fight, there is a story criticizing Foreman's former handlers. It didn't mention Hayward's Dick Sadler, Archie Moore or Sandy Saddler by name, but those are the people at whom the criticism was aimed. It was a cheap shot at Sadler, who brought Foreman from an awkward amateur through 40 professional fights undefeated and to the heavyweight championship of the world.

This same man who was such a genius earlier suddenly turns into a bum when Foreman loses one fight. It has been said that all fighters are a bunch of ingrates, and while that's probably an over-generalization, the theory seems to apply to Foreman. George has made a big deal about his fight with Lyle and how he got help from his corner specifically Gil Clancy -when he was in trouble and needed it. He claims he got no help from his corner when he was in trouble against Ali. But Foreman has failed to mention that against Lyle he looked like only a shadow of the fighter he had been under Sadler.

If George Foreman thinks he ca.i teat Frazier fighting the way he did against Lyle, he has a rude awakening coming. Kentucky Derby by a length, Bold Forbes was the victim of his own furious pace in the Preakness and finished third behind winner Elocutionist. The Triple Crown campaign took its toll on the others as Honest Pleasure was passed up for the Belmont for a rest and Elocutionist was taken out with a slight injury. Bold Forbes suffered a serious cut on his left hind hoof in the Preakness three weeks ago, but trainer Laz Barrera was able to get the three-year-old son of Irish Castle-Comely Nell back in shape for the Belmont. Majestic Light, who finished more than eighth lengths behind the three leaders, was fourth with Aeronaut fifth and Preakness runner-up Play The Red sixth.

The rest of the order of finish was Mullineaux, Best Laid Plans, Close To Noon and Quick Card. up Phillies again, 4-2 By JOHN HICKEY SAN FRANCISCO Pitcher Ed Halicki and the San Francisco Giants, both latently living up to their pre-season press notices, cut down major league baseball's winningest team yesterday, dumping the Philadelphia Iliillies, 4-2. For Halicki, who picked up his second straight victory after a 2-8 start, the win was a sweet one. The 6-7 righthander was 0-3 against the Phillies last season despite a 1.80 ERA. "This was probably the worst game I've ever pitched against the Phils," said Halicki, who got three innings of sterling relief work from Randy Moffitt for win No.

4. "In the past. I've given up five or six hits and lost. Today I gave up 11, but I won." The 11 hits in six-plus innings doesn't reflect as badly on Halicki as they might, for the Phils seldom hit the ball solidly off him. For the most part, bleeding grounders and check- swing hits comprised the Phils' total.

"I've never seen so many hits off of bad swings as the Phils had today," said Halicki, "and even though there were a lot of guys on base because of them, I managed to keep my concentration and throw the pitch 1 had to to get out of the inning." Third baseman Ken Reitz drove in three of the Giants' runs with a two-run second inning homer, and an RBI single in the seventh, while Gary Matthews brought in the other Giant score with a two-out, third inning double which scored Halicki from second. Halicki, after giving up just one run through the first six innings gave up three straight hits to the Phils'-Johnny Cash and Larry Bowa, Bowa's hit scored Gates and left runners at second and first with the heart of the Philadelphia lineup due up. In came Moffitt, who got two routine outs and then surrendered a potential home run ball to Dick Allen which got caught in Candlestick Park's tricky winds long enough for rookie centerfielder Larry Herndon to overtake it. "When I saw Allen hit the ball, I thought it had a good chance to gel out of here," said Moffitt. "I just prayed 'Please stay and it got caught in the wind.

Herndon made a great play on the ball." "I thought I had the ball all the way," said Herndon, who earned a standing ovation from the 12,404 fans, of whom 2,965 were guests of the Giants. "But if the wind handn't slowed it up some, it might have gone out." From that pitch on. the Phils were not much of a problem to Moffitt, who only allowed one base runner on Cash's one-out ninth inning single. He came back to get pinch-hitter Greg Luzinski on the next pitch, Luzinski grounding into a double play to earn San Francisco the victory, its fourth in the last six games. It was the first time Philadelphia hoJ lost three in succession this season.

"I was really happy to see Halicki get the win over these guys," commented so many bad things have happened to him against the Phils in the past. Hopefully, the bad things are behind all of us." Today's third game of the series is Bat Day, with John "The Count" Montefusco hoping to pitch the San Franciscans to a series sweep. Jim Katt goes for the Phils.
