After Brilliant Ride

THE GUARDIAN , CHARLOTTETOWN

Preakness

By JOHN CHANDLER

BALTIMORE, Md, Mly l6 -- (AP) — Capot, given a brilliant rid: by Toronto's Teddy Atkinson. alazled through a light shower to : track record Saturday as he won the Preakness Stakes by :. damn head in one of the most thrilling finishes in the 73-year history of the classic.

The Clreentree Stable‘: three- year-old star, second in the Ken- tucky Derby, showed them who was boas this time as he outlaated lsidor Bleber's Palestinian in the drive for the wire in the l S-ldth- mil: event.

Orlspin Oglabey’: Noble In: was third. Calumet Penn's rby winner — Ponder - never got in the act and wound up fifth in the field of nine starters. Mrs. Ell. Ellison, Jrla Sun Bahram was fourth.

The 73rd Preakrless turned into a double photo finish. The Judges had to look at pictures .to decide for certain that Capot had the call over Palestinian.

Then they peered at the photo- graphs again to put Noble Impulse officially in third place.

Capot blazed under the wire in 1:56 flat, wiping two-fifths of a second off the track record set by Riverland in the 1943 Dixie Hand- icap.

The time also was a full second faster than the old Preaknese rec- ord of 1:57 made by Aiaab in 1942. A steaming crowd of 30.184 per- sons, who first baked in a hot sun and then 2'1 minutes before post time scurried before a shower, roared approval of Capot - this despite the fact the crowd harl made Ponder the favorite at a lit- tle better than 2 to l.

Capot was second choice at l! to 2 as he gave his famous racing stable its first Preakness victory.

He paid off at the rate of 87.00, $3.00 and $2.60 for $2 in the mut- ueis.

lt was also the initial Preakness victory for Atkinson.

Palestinian, who was ridden by Eddie Arcaro, might have grabbed it all in a few more lumps. but there wasn't enough distance left at the finish.

The Bieber colt, third in the Derby, returned .80 and $3.3) while Noble Impulse paid $3.40 for show.

The others finished in this or- der: King Ranch's Curnndcro Sixth, Mrs. Ada L. Rice's Model Cadet, seventh; Clifford Mooers’ Old Rockport. eighth, and Sylves- ter W. Labrot, Jr's Taran. last.

Palestinian was three lengths ahead of Noble Impulse and there was only a nose difference between the next two horses, Sun Bahram and Ponder.

The victory -- not exactly unex- pected since Capot was leading in the l l-f-mlle Derby at the Freak- ness distance -— netted $79,985 to John Hay (Jock) Whitney and his sister. Mrs. Charles Shlpman Pay- son, the Greentree owners.

Golf Pro Al Green Gables

Cecil "Hubby" Dowllng, who last year in the N. B.-P. E. I. amateur golf tournament stroked his way to the open and amateur championships, has been appoint- ed golf pro at the nine hole Green Gable golf course, it was learned last night.

“Hubby”, who rotates from golf cllfb to hockey stick as the sea.- sons roll by, has been one of the Island's best golfers for the last three or four years. But it was not until last year that he achiev- ed the heights that were expected from him ever since he first at- tracted attention at the local course. He comes from a real golfing family as he has two bro- thers and a sister performing over the local fairways. Maurice, or better known to Island sport fans as "Mousie". i: also regarded as in the Island's circle of good golf- ers and Wllf is looked upon as be- ing one of the best golfers at the local course, while Rita, Bubs sister, is one of the better women golfers at the Belvedere course. Dowlirig. who has been perform- ing over Maritime golf courses for the last five or six years. has been a member of the Willingdon Cup team for the past two seasons. Last year he ranked second in N.B.-P.E.I. scores at Hamilton with a respectable 154 which was made up of 78 and '18.

Last year he won the admiration of Maritime golfers when he not only won the amateur title but dedeated Kas Zabowski for the open title. ZDBOWSkl, who is rec- ognized as the leading professional golfer in the Marltlmcs, was de- feated bv one stroke by the youth- ful Dowling.

Cecil will take up his new du- lies at the vacation golf course on May 23. His duties will consist of giving lessons to the many golf- ers who patronize the course snd to look after the pro shop and canteen.

It is a foregone conclusion that he will give to his new job all his time and energy and golfers mav be sure that "Bubs" will help thorn to improve their game to the best of his knowledge.

might draw at least as many people as the same game played at night and moreover serve the purpose of getting people into the parks who don't come now at all." Ralph believes that there are a lot of business men who would be only too happy to knock off one afternoon a week to alt in the sun.
