SPEEDY SCOT'S sensational Yank Sale The power-packed four-year-old son of Speedster-Scotch Love held a three-quarter length advantage over the Duke as he flashed under the -wire in 2:31 25, after leading his rivals for all but! the first three-eighths of a mil!

Stanley Dancer left quick- est of all, with Sumie, from the No. 1 post, and they were in con-1 tenticn all the way on the rail behind the winner after Speedy Scot got to the front.

HUCHIE BELL MADE an early strong move with Lord Gor- don to pet second behind Su Mac Lad. and Baldwin had to take his shot at the lead quicker than he might have. As he explained after tbe big win, "Any of them can trot fast enough and long enough to keep you locked in until it too late. So I had to get out." Speedy Scot went the mile in 2:0125, with no stress, and, Baldwin did not touch him until they came to the stretch turn. By that time, Haughton had pulled out with Duke Rodney and was accelerating strongly.

As Speedy Scot straightened out for his drive to the wire, the Duke was only a half length back. They trotted that way till they got a giiteenth of a mile from the wire and then Baldwin went to the whip ajsain. Now the winner pulled away to score a "going away" victory.

She returned $3.40. $2.50 and $2.50, across the board. This is the first time in the last four years that the filly that was supposed to win the Alabama came home first.

WHILE he has no league connection with the Yankees, nevertheless maintains that CBS' interest is in TV revenue first and sports or baseball last. His claim followed a statement from Dr. Frank Stanton, CBS prexy and William S. Paley, chairman of the board, in which Lthey jointly denied that video was the reason they bought the Yankees. "It is highly inappropiate and unethical for a network to sit at the table of baseball and be both a buyer and seller of TV rights," Hofheinz said.

The Stanton-Paley announcement stated CBS understood its ownership did not give bid- THEY CLAIMED their web was interested in neither pay-TV Game oh Week. xhev didn.t however, say positively. The door nor the proposed Monday night was left ajar by a paragraph which read: "If we should be come interested in the future, we are fully aware of the fact that Yesterdav's IlodCrS AMKKKAV MAKIH.

She waa bought by Harry Nichols of Detroit, with the advice of 28- rvear-old trainer Roger Laiirin, two vears ago for just $1,500. When Bob Kleberg, of King Ranch, let her go for such a small sum, she seemed to Viave so many infirmities that there was doubt if she'd ever sret to the races.

For one thing, she was knock-kneed. KNOCK-KNEED OR not, all she has done this year is to in the Coaching Club American, Monmouth and Delaware Oaks in a row, after finishing second in the Kentucky Oaks.

Hofheinz feels CBS will institute indiscriminate telecasting of Y'ankee games on weekends and that such action would cost cluba between $500,000 a million at the gate next year. IN ADDITION to rapping CBS' purchase, Hofheinz also sounded off about the capital gains Dan Topping and Del Webb will realize from their latest coup.

"It's interesting to not that this is the second time the Yankees have gone to the capital gains trough for money to be taken out of baseball." He was, of course, referring the complicated land deal Topping and Webb executed with Yankee Stadium in 153. In that one they realized an estimated $6 million.

Cronin's Boston office indicated no immediate decision would be made. Allyn contends that league rules require a unanimous nod when owners are asked to vote without having received 15 System. Hofheinz. tn a blistering statement from Houston, claimed "the day CBS finally acquired the New York Yankees" stock will be a darker day for baseball than the dav of the Black Sox scandal." HE SAID HE has appealed to Commissioner Ford Frick that the transaction "be stopped by whatever means necessary." Frick, vacationing at Colorado Springs, had okayed the deal, but Hofheinz strongly urges him to reconsider. "If the commissioner does not act quickly, a joint meeting of both leagues should be called to take appropriate action," Hof-heini said.

"If- this Is not done, then we in baseball should urge that Washington, through the Congress of the United States both the Senate and the House do something about it." Allyn, the White Sox presi-dend and Finley, the KC owner, have been beefing to Al prexy the Jim Bunning advance notice. Notice, in this case, was a matter of hours. Cronin's spokesman, however. said the prexy didn't initiate the ballot until he consulted Ben The White Sox owner can get his meeting automatically if he can convince two other owners to good taste of a Phillies cigar.
