| Apples Aid Turley

NEW YORK (AP)—‘“Apples,” says righthander Bob Turley of New York Yankees, “are keep- ing wrinkles off my stomach. What’s more important, they might put those dollars back in my pocket.”

That's a terse self - appraisal Turley made Friday midway through a dietary off season dic-

record that followed his great -year in 1958.

“The way I got tt figured,” Turley told the Journal-American from his home in Maryland, “I was bad last year because I felt sluggish because I was too heavy.”

“T like to eat,” said the husky pitcher, “‘and I like to eat a lot. I used to say ‘it’s only Decem- ber. I'll eat what I want. Walk over to the refrigerator and go for those big desserts and snacks.”

GRABS FOR AN APPLE

“Sure, I get tempted every day. But I just grab another apple. My stomach cries all the time for another apple.

“But I'm getting now so I'm not as tempted as much as I used to be. When it gets too rough, I just think about 1958 whén I won 21

Red Smith, one of the top sports | writers in the United States, has jwritten a very splendid story jabout Del Miller—probably the jmost popular driver on the U.S. |race circuits. We quote from | Smith: .

He is also the cen- tal figure in what must be the most fantastic success story in all racing, a field where the rags-to-riches theme is thread- bare he repetition. By now, everybody must know the story of how Del “hocked” ev he owned in 1948, borrowed $13,- 000 from a friend, and paid $21,- 100. for-a pacing stallion named Adios, and ran the inyestment ip miiens. ;

““Now he’s off to the Anti . and the Orient, to see Pegg: and daughters of Adios race out there, to buy some mares, and as a favor, scout talent for Roose- velt’s annual International Trot next summer. He did Roosevelt the same service in Europe last winter when he went racing on the Continent, and he came up with Jamin—the French ‘horse that won the International so —, that Del, counting his oose change, offered i for $300,000.

“The fact that Del eould make such an offer is the most dramatic possible illustration of what has happened to harness racing in the last fourteen years. It was only about that long ago that Miller, handling the stable of a guy -who called himself “Haynes the shoe wizard”, was a for oats and not much of that.

JOE’ ASSISTANT

Joe O’Brien had as an assist- ant trainer this year, George Wampetich, who. came to the United States about 18 months ago. He was a noted trainer-driv- er in his native Hungary, a coun- try he had to leave after the Oc- tober revolution in 1956, when the Russians moved and quashed the uprising.

He met Joe O’Brien this past spring at Yonkers Raceway, and Joe gave him a job at Goshen, N.Y., to help Tommy Carter with the Camp Farms’ colts stabled there. It was only a temporary assignment of not more than a month, but George did so well that Joe gave him a permanent position and took him on the road. with the Grand Circuit Divi- sion of the S. A. Camp Stable.

A dispatch from Milan, Italy, dated November to “The Horseman and Fair World” stat- ed that Italy’s noted trotter, Tor- nese, that was a starter in the International Trot at Roosevelt Raceway last summer, had made the headlines by edging out the French champion trotter, Jamin 1.58 4-5, winner in the United Stat- es this year of the International Trot and the American Trotting Championship.
