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- tated by an 8-11 American League) 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.

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.
