Native Dancer's Handlers
Worry About
By OSCAR FRALEY
New York U.R) Everybody
was nervous In the Vanderbilt
stable today except the cause
of it all, a burly gray colt
called Native Dancer.
"I sleep well, but I wake up
nervous," explained trainer
Bill Winfrey as he watched the
Kentucky Derby favorite move
around his roomy stall.
"Me, too," chimed in Alfred
G. Vanderbilt, the young own
er. "But I have to admit it's
nicer to wake up worrying
about him than to have a colt
you don't care if anything does
happen to."
Right now there is addition
al cause for worry. The DanC'
er was slated to make h)s first
start of the year at Jamaica
yesterday. The race didn't
"fill," meaning there were not
enough rivals to have the race.
So now they were plotting a
"work" race for him against
another horse from their
stable.
"He has to have one good
work between now and Sat

Seven Oakland Rookies
To Play for Wenatchee
By JOHN RICHARDSON
(Wenatchee World Sportg Wrltar)
Lindsay, Calif. VP) A young
ball club bolstered by highly
regarded rookies fro Oakland
of the Pacific Coast League
will wear the Wenatchee label
in the Western International
baseball loop this year.
' Babe Herman, a scout for
the New York Yankees, said
during a visit to the Wenatchee
Chiefs' training camp here that
Oakland has the top rookie
prospects in the coast circuit.
Seven of these are slated to
play for the Chiefs.
They include Pitchers
Charley Beamon, Art Amaya,
Jack Klein and Rick Bothel,
third baseman Babe Fuhrman
and catchers Art Cuitti and
Harry Botholowei.
Mike McCormick, the vet
eran major league slugger
who is guiding Wenatchee's
1953 destiny, will himself
patrol the center field pas
ture. The rest of the back
yard will be guarded by Ross
McCormick, back for hit
third year with the Chiefs,
and Shelly Edwards, a
'youngaster out of the Cali
fornia semi-pro ranks.
Infieldwise,' says Big Mike,
the Chiefs are set. . Husky
Charley Neal will be posted
at first base, Chuck Malmberg
at second and Don Stanford at
short.
Neal was in the WIL briefly
in 1951 with Yakima and last
year batted .314 for Bisbee-
Lack of Work
urday when he makes his
first start of the year In the
Gotham Handicap," ex
plained Winfrey. "We aren't
too worried, though, because
he has been working excel
lently." There was a certain bitter
ness about Winfrey and his
dapper young boss as they
saddled another Vanderbilt
' horse in the paddock and
talked of nothing else but
the Dancer.
"We waited three weeks for
a race that didn't fill," Vander
bilt grunted with disgust.
Thus it is that. the Dancer
will be practically "cold" when
he goes out for the mile-and-a-
sixteenth Gotham Saturday, to
be followed on successive Sat
urdays by the Wood Memorial
and the Kentucky Derby. Then
he heads into the Preakness
and Belmont in search of the
Triple Crown.
And the fact remains that
the Dancer never has gone a
mile-and-a-quarter the Derby
distance.

During the two seasons (1951
