But don't think the three-year-old turf championship was decided in America's most colorful horse race. When the Bay son of Royal Oem 2nd hit the wire a good head in front of the Dancer after Saturday's mile and one-quarter run at Churchill Down it proved only one thing the Vanderbllt colt does not yet Yank with the thoroughbred greats of American turf history, i But the margin of Dark Star's victory was so small the decision might well be reversed when the representative of Harry Guggenheim's Cain Hoy Stable and the Vanderbllt grey hook up again in the 8100,000 added Presknes.

The last-place Detroit Tiger have many problems, you may be sure, but the biggest seem to be Art Hout-teman, The Tiger righthander again has failed to fulfill expectations. Manager Fred Hutchinson counted on the J8-year-old burler to help carry his club from the cellar but so far he's been a flop. Rocked for 23 hits and 20 runs 14 1-3 Innings, Houtteman has been relegated to the bullpen. Some say the next stop is a trade.

But would the' Tigers trade 'him? That's the catch. i They've swapped most of their team In an effort to build a winner but have held fast to Houtteman. They're afraid he could come back to hurt them. They keep hoping he'll straighten out and become a big winner. Rumors have beer, floating about that Houtteman is on the trading block.

N. UP) Ruby Goldstein never again will referee Kid Gavllan fight, the Keed's incensed manager. Angel Lopez, i said today in the wake of his upset defeat at the hands of Danny (Bang Bang) Womber. He added that he would Insist that Goldstein not be permitted to officiate at any of the welterweight king's bout in he future.

Those "poor" Pirates were a near-unanimous pick for the cellar while the "raggedy" Red Sox weren't' picked much higher. But look at the two clubs today. The Red Sox, with six victories In their last sever; games, are the hottest tesm in the Americsn League.

They won their sixth St. Louis Browns, 14-5, in the opener of their double-header, but were nosed out, 6-5, in the nightcap. PIRATES SURPRISE The Pirates, winner of five in succession, are the surprise of the National League. They pounded out aiv 6-2 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinal to climb within a game of the first division.

The Red Sox are In fourth place, hard on the heels of the league leaders. What is the reason tor this sud den reversal of form? Simple. The Red Sox have found the formula for winning on the road, something they haven't been able to do in years. The Pirates are Combining good pitching with solid slugging, something they found impossible last year.
