HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH, Harrisburg, Saturday, April 20, 1946 The Sportlight By Grantland Rico Count Fleet, a comet in horse flesh, was the last of the great thoroughbreds to win the Triple Crown of racing. As you may the Triple Crown is the K.emucKy jjer and a quarter the Preak ness at a mile and three sixteenths and the Belmont Stakes at a mile and a half. This triple cleanup has been the owner's and trainer's gold plated dream through the years, Grantland Rice but it will mean the record of all winning records for any stable that can turn this gaudy trick between May ana eariy dune iuc campaign of 1946. For the three purses at Churc hill Downs, Pimlico and Belmont will almost certainly reach the $400,000 mark where any entry able to sweep through all rival challengers will net 3 00,000 lor Vio nwnpr trip trainer and the tiMnnino inrlrpv The winning trainer and the winning jockey each collect ten per cent, of the i nj casn uiiioueu, On this present occasion mere is no Gallant Fox no Sir Bartonno Count Fleet around at the moment to offer any serious threat. The first hurdle or barricade is the Kentucky Derby.

In spite of the numerical superiority of the Maine Chance Farm entry, with the famous crop that ran so well as two year olds, the coming Derby is still rated an open show. It is only natural that such a group as Knockdown, Star Pilot, Lord Boswell, Colony Boy and possibly one or two others, should be given the edge. Maine Chance can afford to have misfortune attack one or two of its possible or probable starters, where other stables can face no such trouble. The Derby has to be won first. And the winner or tne uerDy is the only horse left with any chance to win all three.

Last summer we had different winners in all three races, and it may happen that way again. Hoop Jr. i i a ii a A migni nave turnea uie iritis anei winning the Derby in a canter, but a Preakness injury sent him away from the track. Smart trainers who should know their stuff tell me this comins Derby, the spearhead of the $300,000 triple shot, is still wide orjen. As smart a fellow as Ben Jones of Calumet, winner of three Derbies, can't see any outstanding horse so far.

Neither can the veteran John Partridge. Both have Derby challengers. Maxie Hirsch would rather wait until after the Wood, the Blue Grass Stakes and the Derby Trial. But one fairly important point is that the winter book layers are placing all Maine Chance entries among the favorites. All will nave to fall short to leave an opening for someone else.

But there are still many weu Known trainers who are not sold any too heavily on either Knockdown or Star Pilot. They still call this one of the most wide open all Derbies with only a short time left in which to peg a standout It will take three remaining trials to settle the status of the Derby insofar as entries are concerned. These are the Wood Memorial at Jamaica today, the Blue Grass stakes at Lexington next Thursday and the Derby Trial at Churchill Downs early in Derby week. The Wood offers the main test for the East. Only those horses that run well and show something better than normal will be carried along.

Among those who face their final Jamaica showing who will be closely watched are Round view, Assault and Hampden. Bill Helis has another strong contender in Phidias who with the fleet Rippey carries the Helis hope. Hampden, entered at 200 to 1 in the first winter book, has been the leading surprise to date Hampden is the horse they are talking about now after his re cent workouts. John Partridge hasnt given up on Alworth. As a matter of record many odd things can happen before the Derby is run.

You may recall the time when Whirlaway and Alsab were beaten so often in Florida. In the Blue Grass Stakes, Whirlaway was beaten seven engths by Our Boots only ten days before the Derby was run. Yet Whirlaway not only in a wild runaway, but also set the Derby record. After all his earlier beatings Alsab came on to take over the Preakness, Certain horses come along quickly and then soon fade out. Others get a slower start.

For example Calumet's Armed, one of the best in the world today, crashed no headlines as a two year old or a three year old. Exterminator was thrown into the Derby as a last resort when his favored stable mate broke down. Ben Jones was extremely doubtful entering Pensive in the 1944 Derby. Pensive had just been beaten in Maryland. His record was nothing to rave about.

But under Ben Jones' amazing handling he came through, with better than an even break in luck It is no sure thing at this date that Ben Jones will have a Derby entry as neither In Earnest nor High Shine have been any too hot so far. Any horse Ben Jones starts is sure to be a Lindell's Fly Gives New York Yaiiks 7 6 Victory Over Senators New York. April 20, UP). John Lindell, a former pitcher who is a sub outfielder with the New York Yanks, lofted a towering fly to center field in the last of the ninth yesterday and scored Tommy Henrich with the winning run as the Yanks defeated Washington, 7 to in Lrotnams opening American League game that lured 54,826 fans, Trailing 6 5 in their last turn to 1 Champaign, ILL.

(IP) at bat, and with ancient Johnny Nig' geling, the Senators fifth hurler on the slab, the Yankees quickly put two men on base. George Stirn weiss drew a walk and Henrich was hit by a pitched ball. Joe DiMaggio then lined a double off the left field wall, driving in Stirnweiss with the tying run and sending Henrich to third. Henrich then scored on Lindell hoist. The Yankees appeared to have the game won as early as the sea ond inning when they teed off on southpaw Mickey Haefner for six solid hits and four runs to over come an early 2 0 deficit.

Once again it was DiMaggio and Lindell who supplied the principal poxes DiMag led the frame with a boom ing double to left and scored ahead of Lindell who walloped tne Dau into the left field stands, The Nats kept pecking away at Lefty Joe Page and narrowed the Yankees lead to 4 3 with a single tally in the third. The Bronx bombers regained their two run advantage in the sixth, a walk oil Walter Masterson, Bill Dickey's single and a wild pitch gave them their fifth run. After Al Evans homered for Washington in the seventh, the Senators sent Page to the showers when two walks, an error by Dickey and hits by Cecil Travis and Gerry Prmdy gave them temporary lead. MSgt.

Levin and Angel In Return Match Promoter Bert Bertolini an nounced last night that he has signed the Italian Angel for a re turn match with Dave Levin, for the one fall to a finish feature of the wrestling card at the Ma drid Palestra Friday night. Two ton Tony Galento, who gave most of the heavyweights from world champion Joe Louis on down, his own special brand of trouble, will be the third man in the ring, as guest referee, when these pachyderms begin putting holds on each other in their bat tle for ring supremacy.

Friday will find the ruthless and daring Italian Angel facing the adonis and one time king of the wrestling pack, Dave Levin, for the second time in six weeks. In a surprise throw, the Angel pinned Levin at 22 minutes of their one fall to the finish match at the Palestra, March 29. Galento, speaking of his guest appearance, said last night, "I like wrestling, even rough wrest ling, but I also like it clean am well aware that this Italian Angel is a rough fellow. True wrestling can't be likened to ping pong or checkers, but if the Angel believes he can pull any thing on me, he has another guess coming. "This grappling will be done according to the books.

The same holds true of Levin. I know he isn't a rule breaker, but there is always a chance that he may be inclined to disregard regulations. "If the Angel won't listen to reason, then he will have my convincer" to' contend with. That, I know, will keep him in line." uaiento admitted that his "con vincer" was his famous left hook, the same punch that floored Joe Louis in their bout for the heavyweight championship of the world.

But the Parnell Master is tossing in no forlorn hopes. After the Wood the next and possibly the biggest test, the Blue Grass Stakes comes at Keene land, Lexington, on Thursday. The two Kentucky tests are more likely to give us the Derby winner than the Wood, but we'll have a better line on this after the Wood is run.

Williams Called Greatest in Game Washington, April 20, (IP). About a ball player named Ted Williams, Boston Red Sox out fielder: "I think he's going to be the greatest hitter of all time," said Clark Griffith, owner of the Wash' ington Senators, after watching Williams pace his team to a clean' sweep of the opening American League series. What Williams did in that series: Batted .500, including a 430 foot homer into the left cen' ter bleachers, a screaming triple and two lusty doubles all this while drawing four intentional passes. "Williams is one of the few hit ters, if not the only one, I've ever seen who can hit any kind of pitch," Griffith said. And.

how would Griffith, once a crafty hurler in his own right, pitch to the 6 foot 3, 27 year old bombardier: "I'd throw him nothing but blooper balls and I mean real high, lazy bloopers," Griffith said, Then he have to supply his own power, take a little run at the ball and be off balance. The impression that Williams made on the fans probably is the deepest in the history of baseball here and that includes crowd re action to such old time greats as Walter Johnson, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. After a capacity turnout of 30,000 opening day, 10,000 fans at tended the second and third games of the Senators Red Sox series, "That never happened before here," club officials said, "and those fans came out to see Wil liams hit." As lor Ted himself, he was somewhat annoyed at being pur posely passed four times. "They ought to do something about that passing business, he told a reporter. "It not only de prives a batter of a chance to hit, but bases on balls don show up worth a hoot in the records." At the rate Williams has started drawing free tickets so early in the season, he may break Babe Ruth's all time record of 170, set 1932 Griffith thinks Williams is sure to hit .400 again (he batted .406 in 1942) but Ted isn't so certain about that.

"That's a lot of percentage points," he told a reporter. "If I were like some of the other fellows who are fast getting away from the plate, and they'd pitch to me with men on bases, I say 'sure. Ted is more interested in the solid sensation he now gets out of meeting the ball than in a .400 average. "It runs through my body, and I didn have that good feeling even the year I hit .406," he said. McQuinn Is Ruled Property of A's Chicago, April 20, UP).

The dis pute between the Philadelphia and St. Louis clubs of the American League over the services of George McQuinn, first baseman, has been settled by Commissioner Albert B.

They are William Helis' Speedy Rippey and Dixiana's Spy Song, who have been impressive in their spring workouts at the Downs. The big pompey colt, representing Helis' fondest hopes for a Derby winner, was the first Derby eligible here to negotiate a mile in 1:42.

Reds Blow Gold For Outfielders Cincinnati, April 20, (IP) The Cincinnati Reds agree that Big League outfielders are expensive! articles, but they've blown nearly I $500,000 on them in the past eight years and all they've got is a trio of question marks. Maybe Max West, acquired! Thursday from the Bostonl Braves for a reported $25,000,1 is the answer to Manager Brill McKechnie's prayer for an ideal I outfielder. The Deacon isn say ing. Mike McCormick, who hit .3001 for the Reds in 1940, could be I the ideal, or Al Libke, the $50,0001 article purchased a couple of I years ago.

That's the way the Redleg out field stacks up today, but thel experts will tell you West isn'tl a dashing outfielder, Libke leaves! much to be desired in the field I and McCormick hasn't playedl much ball since 1942 when he hitl 237 in 40 games. The Reds began their expensive! search for outfielder back at thel beginning of 1938 when Mc Kechnie took over as An assortment of 40 odd fly chasers have worn the Redlegl uniform since that time but onlyl one man, Ival Goodman, lived up to the Deacon standards of ideal. Goodman's best year was 1938' when he clouted 30 homers and batted .292. He hit .323 the next year but connected for only seven home runs. He slowed! down thereafter.

rlariy craft looked great in 1938 and 1939 but fizzled after wards. Vince DiMaggio played in '39 and '40 and didn't show much. I The Reds laid out around $50,000 during the next few yead but the search didn end. They bought Mike Dejan in 1940. He didn't last Jimmy Ripple hit .298 in 30 games late in that year but faded in 1941.

Ernie Koy came with the Reds in 1941, hid 249 and that was all for ErnieJ Eric Tipton, of All America football fame, looked like a great find in 1942. He reached his peak in 1944 with an average of .300 but he's not on the Reds' roster this year. Exhibition Baseball At West Point. N. R.
