Candy Spots Upset For Chicagoan Purse CHICAGO B. Major stood off a stretch drive by odds-on favorite Candy Spots to win the $113,333 Chicagoan for 3-year-olds in a whip lashing chase down the home stretch. Candy Spots, the l-to-2 favorite of the record Saturday crowd of 25,933, never was in front as the eight-horse pack traveled the mile and one-eighth track in 1:47 1-5, a record for the newly designed layout in use for the first time this year. It was only the third win in 20 starts for B. Major, owned by Elmendorf Farm, operated by Max Cluck, a chain store merchant, the winner's purse of $68,333 was almost double B.

Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY DPI Sports Writer NEW YORK play for either the Chicagos or the Baltiinores today and you got to figure holy smokes and what's the use. Your pitchers are pitching like all the way and your hitters are hitting like gangbusters. And! those doggone Yankees are hav- ing more injuries than a first aid tent at a hod carriers' picnic and maybe this, at last, is your year. So you look at the standings and despite all the arnica and old bandages being dished out to the pin stripe brigade they've still lost less games than any other team in the league. It's the kind of a thing that in lieu of a glove to stop a line drive and wound up with almost as many stitches as the ball.

Then, in what should be big stuff to the other clubs, ortiiig Sidelines By JEFF COHANF Ralph Terry and Bill Stafford "THE LEGEND of Randy Matson" is truly becoming as much of a legend as the life of Billy the Kid.

Naturally, their new coaches would also ask them to put in a good word for their school to the number one athlete in the country. HOWEVER, neither they, Donnie or any other Pampa athlete was promised anything extra for getting Randy, they merely thought their school was the best and wanted him to think so, too. There are very few friends of Randy or his family in this area who went to, graduated from, or had a close connection with any major school who did not urge their school as a fine one for Randy.

No one, according to Randy, asked for anything, offered anything or got anything out of the way for doing so. definitely Donnie Avres. Randy Matson made his own decision and no one else did it for him. He was not offered anvthing extra for doing so, but picked Texas solely because he thought, all things considered, that it was the best school for him.
