Today's
Sports Parade

GOSHEN, N. Y. (W Harness racing ranks today
among the major industries of sports but its most storied
event the Hambletonian still retains its country fla
vor.
The corn tassle classic will be held in this horsey
hamlet, nestled sleepily in the rolling farmlands of Orange
County, on Aug. 4. Goshen’s preparations are amazingly
Simple.
On the whole they simply sit back and await the in
flux of some, 20,000 city slickers.
Not Fully Commercialized
This is one of the few big events in sports which is
not fully commercialized. Some residents park cars on
their lawns. And the ladies aid society throws its usual
home cooked chicken dinner. But most of the townspeo
ple, along with the visitors, are much too interested in the
race.
It was over Orange County’s dusty roads that Ham
bletonian, a nondescript trotter, did his running exactly
100 years ago. He wasn’t fast, even for that era, but he
did become a spectacular sire. And home folks will be
watching right along with the sports from the city to see
how his descendants do in the race named after the im
mortal stud.
A Good Race
It figures, even now, to be a good one. And the favor
ites form the age-old triangle of two gals and one man.
The horse they’ll have to beat in the best two out of three
one-mile heats is Newport Dream, a bay colt which stepped
a 2:01.2 mile in winning 20 of 22 starts last year to set a
two-year-old money winning record of $94,933.
But shooting for the winner’s share of the $115,000
stake and regarded highly are two fast-stepping fillies,
Stenographer, owned by Max Hempt of Camp Hall, Pa.,
and Princess Rodney, from Walnut Hall stud at Lex
ington, Ky. They are the cream of some 85 crack 3-year
olds still eligible.
Kentucky Derby Os Trotting
And almost any one of those sent to the post could
win this Kentucky Derby of trotting, which first captured
the publie imagination when the great gray ghost called
Greyhound won in 1935. h
That much has been proved conclusively in the last
three years as “outsiders” rambled home on tpp. New
-1 port Star, a brother to this year’s favorite,, was a “Suite
thing” last year but lost to Helicopter. Sharp Note fdoled
. ’qrn in 1952 and Mainliner steamed out of nowhere-to MK>t
victory.
Yet it is a sure thing to the sulky spectator that he’ll
taste the old-time flavor and excitement when they score
next month at kite-shaped Good Time track. Changes are
few and far between at Goshen.

BROOKLYN CP t- The Big ball
park was emptied of both, hooting
crowd and horrifying. Willie Mays,
but Walter Alston grimly drove* his
dispirited Brooklyn Do dgers
through an unprecedented post
game batting practice. “The prac
tice will iaet r MaUt. y w-~tvo. . out
of batting practice pitchers,’’ said
the taut-lipped Alston as he sent
the fading National League champ
ions back onto the turf of Ebbets

their sixth straight beating by the
Giants yesterday.

his earlier one-under-par 89 and
a total 136 to capture medalist
honors.

the New Orleans Pelicans
for a small miracle that
could put the Southern As

Atlanta last night ail but invited
the All-Stars to town as the Crack

Another win over Birmingham
before Sunday, or a New Orleans
setback, will, do the trick for the
Crackers. Atlanta prexy Earl Maim

annual classic.
