Angels Make Home Bow Ag a i nst So Ions Ton ight Chavez Favored Oyer Dade in Olympic Fight TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 13, 1948 in Length Triumph HAVRE DE GRACE, April 12 (IP) A baggy-legged auction, colt, Saggy, threw mud all over the. glittering reputation of Citation today by soundly whipping the Cal umet Farm star in the Chesapeake Trial.

Saggy, a $4700 yearling cast- off, beat Citation by one length -with four other Kentucky Derby eligibles strung out behind. Mrs. J.V. Stewart's Dr. Almac from nearby Elkton, was third in the six-furlong dash.

A 10,634 partisan crowd roared approval as the Baltimore owned golden chestnut returned to the winner's circle for the eighth time in 12 starts. For Jockey Eddie Arcaro, who came down from New York to ride Citation at 1-4 odds, they had. the usual Bronx cheers. Citation, held off the pace through the early running, made a courageous try to get up in the stretch. But baggy, with Jockey Don MacAndrew urging him, was not to be denied.

Second Loss Mrs. Albert Sagner's colt thus became the' second to take the measure of Citation. A Calumet stablemate, Bewitch, was the only previous horse to beat the powerful son of Bull Lea to the wire in 14 starts. Citation broke first out of the starting gate, but soon relinquished the lead to Saggy and High Ground Stable's Hefty." Saggy wore down Hefty before they came around the only turn, and as the pack entered the payoff alley it was Citation who moved up to challenge. Saggy was two lengths to the good as they came down to the finish.

Jockey Arcaro shook up Citation at the furlong pole and continued to ride him hard, but the Calumet star had to come up on the outside and couldn't make it. Got Bnmped Arcaro claimed he got bumped by' another horse. He said he would know better about Citation's Derby prospects after Saturday and couldn't compare him now with My Request which he rode to victory in Experimental No. 2 at Jamaica last Saturday.

Henry Faces Foe in Chicago Tonight CHICAGO, April 12 Clarence Henry of Los Angeles tangles with Fernand Bothy of Belgium in a heavyweight battle tonight as a team of amateur boxers representing Chicago oppose a like team of picked Europeans. Last year the Chicagoans scored a 7-1 victory over the Europeans. Henry, representing the Los Angeles Times, won the Golden Gloves heavyweight crown in the Tournament of Champions in March and later dropped a close decision to Colley Wallace in an inter-city team match with New York.

Local Skating Ace Injured at Detroit DETROIT, April 12 Al Broad-hurst of Roslindale, captured the Nprth American senior men's speed skating championship here tonight. Earlier Emanuel Babayan of Pasadena, suffered a skate cut in his neck which, though not believed serious, kept him out of the finals. Bill Disney of Pasadena placed second in the intermediate boys division. Rams. There' are others.

But none of these men, who seem to make football a cloak or mantel within which they hide themselves from the out-' side world, was the match of Jock Sutherland for sheer strength in silence. The others sometimes broke down their silence. If Sutherland ever did he was careful to see that the fact never got Into print. GREAT DEFENSE Jock was known through his entire career as a great defensive coach, although those two awful beatings the Pitt Panthers suffered in. the Rose Bowl, belied this fact.

It is a matter of record, however, that in all the 15 years he coached at Pittsburgh, his team was beaten by more than a touchdown on only seven casions including the two Rose Bowl routs. This record, he carried on into pro football, where ev-ery opposing coach knew that hi3 pet offensive was apt to be thwarted by a' light, fast charging Pittsburgh Steeler line. While Sutherland was a supreme master of defense, he certainly knew a thing or two about the single wing offense. That was never more aptly demonstrated than during the last National League pro season when his Steelers almost won the Eastern Division championship. JOCK VS.

DUDLEY The Steelers great showing came on top of one of those player-coach squabbles that might have cost any other mentor his job and the team its chances of going anywhere. Bill Dudley, most valuable player in the league the season before, had announced he would retire from pro football if he had to play another season under Sutherland. Those situations try the mettle of the greatest Dudley was a terrific favorite in Pittsburgh with his sensational running and pass catching. He was the Steeler team. Yet, when the whole thing was settled and Dudley had been traded off to Detroit, there was the Silent Scot, as strongly entrenched with the Pittsburgh sports fans as he always had been.

Pittsburgh fans loved the stern-faced, silent Scot. BOOED DUDLEY The late Knute Rockne's hold on South Bend, probably is the only example of a coach's greater power in his home town. This was never more thoroughly demonstrated when Detroit, with Dudley, came to Pittsburgh last fall to open the pro season against the Steelers. Everything about the game demonstrated that It was a Sutherland vs. Dudley feud.

Tom Harmon and I sat side by side in the press box at Forbes Field "that afternoon, marveling together at the sensational performance of Dudley as he ran wild and personally accounted for two. touchdowns. Yet, to show you how powerful an influence Sutherland was in the city, Dudley was roundly booed when he left the game. VICTORY INEVITABLE It seemed inevitable, some how, that the Steelers would win. Sutherland's stubbornness had been imparted to every player on his team a team that wa3 utterly devoid of a standout star.

I remember talking to" one of the Steeler players afterward at the William Perm. Hotel. He told me that they had scrimmage every day for two solid weeks before this game. And Sutherland, when he brought the team into town from the summer training site, kept the boys within the confines of the hotel the day before the contest. That was typical of Jock the same Sutherland whose fight for the players' rights here on the University of Pittsburgh's last -Rose Bowl trip eventually resulted in his quitting the Panther school.

Sutherland's silence on those Rose Bowl trips contributed to a sometimes unfavorable pres3 during his collegiate days. Yet, the first thing he asked me on that Pittsburgh trip last fall was about his "newspaper friends in Los Angeles." How, he wanted to were Braven Dyer, Bill Henry, Mark Kelly, Jack James, George Davis, Sid Ziff and others. Some were long since gone from the sports field. Some had sharpened their pens for him. Maybe time had dulled the pain, but Jock's request was based entirely on friendly interest.

TJBj: Sutherland's death is football's great loss. Bears Squeak Past Bruins in 16 Innings BERKELEY, April 12 P) Bob O'Dell's 360-foot double, scoring Lyle Palmer from first, gave the University of Califor nia a 7-to-6 victory today over UCLA in a 16-inning California intercollegiate baseball game at Edward's Field. UC's pitching chore over the long route was shared by Dave Anderson and Nino Barnise, who got credit for the victory. George Stanich went the full distance for the Bruins. UCLA tied up the count in the eighth at 5-all when Moose Myers singled, driving in two runs.

Neither team scored until the 14th inning when Johnny Stanich, a. brother of George, scored on an error, putting UCLA out in front, 6-5. The Bears, defending CIBA co-champions, got the tying run back when Stanich loaded the bags and walked in the tying run with none away. A pop fly and double play snapped Cars chances of winning the game then. UCLA AB A California ABHOA T.Stanich.lf Rowland.

The Pacific Coast League champions, who stayed in the sticks during spring training and then spent the first two weeks of the pennant chase on the road, open a seven-game engagement with Sacramento this evening at Wrigley Field.

A. turnout of some 10,000 curious Cherubians is anticipated. Game time at-Wrigley this year is 8:15. The Angels have fared just so-so in the early going, losing a 4-3 series at San Diego and Winning a 4-3 decision at Oakland. As a result of that even break, they're right in the middle, tied for fourth place with Hollywood.

Five Straight Wins Sacramento, after losing its first four starts, caught fire' last week against Seattle and comes to town boasting a five-game kictory streak. That drastic turn about catapulted Joe Orengo's oldsters from eighth to almost before you could say dis-establishmentarianism. Tonight's twirlers will be Red Lynn, who right-handed Los Angeles to a one-hit shutout over Oakland last Tuesday, and Lou Tost, veteran'- southpaw returning to the PCL from Indianapolis. Tost tossed two innings of relief on opening day, but has seen no action since.
