Eleven Ready For Preakness BALTIMORE Eleven 3-year- olds were entered Thursday for the 78th and richest of all Preakness Stakes as rain blown in on a nor'- easter pelted ancient Pimlico and left the track resembling a one mile oval of good old Maryland crab soup. This second jewel of the Ken tucky Derby Belmont triple crown lacks the presence of Deter mine, the derby winner three weeks ago. but the Maryland Jockey Club's great sophomore classic has turned into a whale of a horse race. Correlation, the long-legged Cali fornia colt who was the 3-1 derby favorite but got banged around in that roughhouse at Louisville and finished sixth, is expected to be the favorite of a crowd of some 35,000 at the 1:45 p. m., (PST) Saturday postime. The race will be televised and broadcast (CBS) (1:30 - 2p m PST). Hasty Road, who finished second in the derby, and the next four finishers in the Churchill Downs gallop, are here for the Preakness along with six horses who've been waiting in the East to run for the Black Eyed Susans. Last Monday in the Preakness Prep, Correlation came from be hind to beat Hasty Road by a head after a terrific stretch duel. Wally Post, slugging rookie out fielder for the Cincinnati Redlegs, started his baseball career as pitcher. Major League 'j i i NATIONAL LEAGUE G AB R H Pet.

West is Victor In Golf Match PENDLETON I Harold West of Pendleton won the Pacific Northwest PGA match title Thursday by downing Tom Boucher of Seattle, 2 up, in a spe cial match preceding the Pendle ton Open.

The big all America profession al tackle gave his opinion in Super ior Court, where he is fighting an attempt by the New York Giants to keep him in their football family. Four former professional play ers had testified that Weinmeister was good, but not the best. Big Arnie agreed not through modesty but because the Giants are de scribing him as irreplaceable. "I can name 13 defensive pro tackles as good or better than I," asserted the huge lineman, who speaks in a low, barely audible baritone. Weinmester announced after the last season be was leaving the Gi ants and later signed with the Van couver, B.C., lions of the Canadian pro circuit. The Giants sued to hold him to the option clause in his contract. Arnie told the court he forgot to read the fine print in his 1953 con tract. He said he told Wellington Mara, Giants secretary, he did not intend to play for the team in 1954, but neglected to check whether the option clause had been scratched out of the contract. It hadn t.
