If I walked round a yearling It would to make sure there was a leg on every coiner. lj)ok at records The gambling element la rbvloti, however, if you scan the records. I recall the Howe brother, Rob and Johnny, paying 2'A for a yearling named Treasure finest. By now Treasure Quest muit have earned lart.OOO. On the other hand, the one that Is always getting caught In the car door, some of the three-year -olds running at Exhibition Park cost better than $.1,000 at the sale and have yet to win themselves out.

At the same sale a yearling colt named Midmarajah went for $100 and the last time I aw him at Ex Park he was winning off by eir.

She cost and has won one race by eight lengths.

Top price was paid for a filly by Greek Ship from the mare Est Lea by Bull l.ea.

And Princess Samoa cost R. C. Ellctt $1,700. One of the oddities about a yearling sale is that to bring a good prlre a yearling usually has to be big and fat and good looking. This gives the fellow who can only afford thosa that don't possess those qualities jn edge.

He pays less, and what he ha going for him 1 the eternal truth that good runners come In all shapes and sizes.

Psychologically, Bilko is In better circumstances. He now has a total of five years In the msjors and the fans at Wrigley Field still Idolize him. Wrlgley Field, of course, was heaven lor Bilko with the old Angels of the Coast League.

Most of his home run output of 37, 53 and 56 in 1935-56-57 came at Wrigley. But here It Is late July, and Bllko is not only still around, he's hitting a solid .312 and is a member of the American League's top 10 batters. In 74 games he has collected 63 hits, 14 of them home runs, and driven in 42 runs. lie Is manager Bill Rigncy'g regular at first base. Rigney says he's satisfied with Bilko's defensive play at first.

He used the huge fellow for a spell In right field, where stout Steve charged fly balls more like a wounded buffalo than a Willie Mays. Still, he got the job done and now he's getting It done at first. Bllko himself wa concerned this spring when he faced two other first base candidates, Ted Kluszewski and Julio Becquer. But the Angels let Becquer loose and platooned Bilko and Kluszewski. This strategy.

Bilko says, helped because he has never been a good hitter In the spring. So, the club now reasons, when time came for Bilko to take over as a regular, he was ready. Bllko says he hasn't chanced his batting stance, but may have revised the arc of his swing. He is hitting more to right field, his power lane. Bilko has been in pro ball since 1943 and has always hit a long ball but with erratic success.
